What was this pilot thinking? Watch as they rotate at a very slow speed causing the aircraft’s nose to lift off the ground but not generating enough lift to become fully airborne, & then shortly after stalling they continue to accelerate down the runway to rotate at a faster speed. I have no idea as to why this happened, but some theories could include an incorrect flap setting, the setting of incorrect V speeds or an incorrect trim?

But in this day and age, surely error mistakes like these shouldn’t be apparent in commercial aviation? Even if the mistakes had been made, aborting the takeoff could’ve been a safer option, than putting the passengers, crew & aircraft at risk in this dangerous situation.

  1. Pilot did a great job keeping cool… runway coming up fast..still relaxed the elevator wait couple second before slowly pulling back. Imagine if he panic and continue to hold up elevator 😳

  2. That’s what happened in county like Morocco 🇲🇦 you became pilot with rachwa ( corruption) and genus people selling newspapers in the streets

  3. Pilot thought: Which idiot makes the load sheet, the plane was overloaded in the back. very dangerous!!!

  4. You need to have the aircraft configured for take-off, and that includes having the proper flap setting. In this case, the pilot didn't panic and lowered the nose to gain enough speed to make the jump.

  5. That's why are weight limits etc…this plane was overloaded never fake youre luggages for spare your'e money that gives false informations to the pilots to fuel weight and you name it…that could have been fatal!! Rahter pay entra than been dead..

  6. to get this in context, what was the time difference between the Turkish plane landing and the Air Maroc being cleared for take off. There could be wake turbulence from the bigger plane landing

  7. Yes just watching I saw him point the nose down again for 2 seconds and that regained teakeoff speed

  8. I'm only a Private Pilot but it looks to me somebody forgot the flaps.
    I know on my little Cessna I usually use 10 to 20 degrees of flap but I can't see any on the 747 in this video. Maybe it doesn't need any?
