What was it a load shift but they were able to trim out of it?

Ive been on some messed up flights... Aborted takeoffs, inflatable slide coming out at 18k feet and flapping against the fuselage, mid air engine restarts...

Never a dull moment flying on charter turboprops

250kts below 10,000' is the speed limit and depending on the weight of these heavies, that can put them really close to a stall. That's why most will ask for or automatically be issued a fast climb. If they only lost 300' I'd be surprised if they even stalled. The airplane should be going pretty crazy before an actual stall. I'd guess they were just executing the proper recovery technique and lost that small amount of altitude.

A close friend of mine just retired as a pilot. Flew just about everything all over the world. I'll have to talk to him about this video. He's never mentioned any scary incidents, but I have to imagine there were a few.

I couldn't help but notice how fast the controllers talk. Sounded like auctioneers. You'd think they'd slow it down a bit to ensure the pilots heard them correctly the first time. :eek:

From what I understand, that's just how the JFK controllers are with all that traffic. Add to it being an international pilot where English isnt your first language and it gets... chaotic. :D

Cargo pilots are no joke, and shifting cargo is a very big risk. Just ask the National Airlines 747 pilots flying out of Bagrahm back in 2013 what can happen when cargo shifts.

The fact they announced the stall to ATC surprised me at first but I'm thinking his hand was already on the horn and was just about to acknowledge the departure heading 050 and we actually hear the FO talking with the pilot. You can hear the Red "Doo Dah, Doo Dah" stall warning in the background, and later communications had the 'Be do, be do" master caution for the stall. Had to listen to it twice and picked them up as the first time you don't expect it.

I think we had tired pilots, possibly delayed from a line of storms. REALLY Should have asked for a high speed climb departure. Instead he asks the tower for the departure frequency's and should have had them pre programed with the tower on active radio and the departure already setup in the standby. You listen at ~:55 as he's saying 4000ft climbing to 5000 and you can hear the yellow/amber caution warning horn for a 777(BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP), radar shows him at 200kts.
300' at 4k is a dip, probably most was getting the nose down since they did not change heading like you'd expect if they were in a severe stall or variance in thrust. But he did not make the left hand turn either, just trading some altitude for airspeed. Looks like when he got it to 260 and began to climb again with power on and continued to 270 until he leveled at 5100 and turned left 050.

As I was always taught in an emergency.

My commuter, leaving my home town we do reduced power takeoffs and then it feels like take off #2 at around 3000 feet. The old RJ is a damn hot rod.

Leaving site we do full tits all the way up to clear mountain ranges. Fun ride. Just wish I was up front.

You know the Commercial pilots love that take off.

"Aww man, gotta got FULL power for takeoff instead of corporate max thrust... What a shame..." lol

I don’t. I think it’s bullsh!t that we have to tiptoe past idiots who live there. I want to find out where the noise sensors are on my overnight, cut the wires and climb at full power the next morning when the curfew lifts. Haha
Aspen was a fun departure.
