Default Re: Noises heard at 41 seconds

If you took an average speed of 100 kts during the takeoff roll for 41 seconds that would put the airplane about 6800' down the runway. At Denver you can easily use a ton of runway due to the airport elevation. So 41 seconds would put the airplane at a pretty high speed on the runway.

On a 400,000# 767...it probably takes ten seconds or so from pushing the throttles up until you really start to feel the acceleration.

The MD88 took forever to begin rolling after power up.

As I recall...the 737 was pretty responsive though.
