Ilyushin IL76 nearly runs out of runway, page 1

oh my golly gosh


i do believe that is somewhat of an `interesting` take off - i bet someone somewhere was willing that thing into the air!

fully loaded Il-76 needing alot of runway

That was one heck of a takeoff! That pilot knew his bird real good to pull that one off.

It didn’t look like a full length airstrip though. By the looks of it and by the accent of ATCs, it’s a shorty Australian airstrip.

IL-76s t-o run is 850 meters dry, and 2160 meters with the full load of 90,000kg (418,875lb).

Here’s a look at other IL-76 takeoffs, and notice how much longer the airstrips are while takeoff time is pretty much the same:






How about a landing like this;

That is Canbera, I think that video was taken from the control tower at RAAF Fairbarn.

Also Runway: 17/35 3,273ft 10,738 meters
Runway: 12/30 1,679ft 5,509meters

I don't have any video at the moment, but i'll try and get some...

I work on an industrial estate that is part of an airport (BOH) and we often have the airport perimeter road closed to allow things to come in low n slow and take off long, the strip finishes about 100 yards short of the road. its officially 7450 (2270m) long, although there is a turning pad at the ends that occasionally planes get reversed into on the tug to gain them about an extra 40 feet! The worst offenders are the tankers we get coming to visit FR aviation and one old 737 from european which just about hauls itself into the air!

we have the amir of quatars 747 on site here as well and that seems to be just fine with the runway length, although its never full!

the funniest one i've seen was a pair of hercules transports, one from the dutch airforce and one from the raf, the dutch one touched down first and took almost all the runway to stop, the one from the raf came in very nose up, very very slow and very low, literallythe under carriage missed the fence and 'end of strip' lights by no more than 20' and was on the ground as the tail cleared the fence and was stopped so quick it used the taxi way normally for small private craft... it was a bit scary, but very impressive

I rather thought Willard that the entire reason for Canberra having a shorter runway was to keep politicians in, rather than letting them out?

Afterall was that not the reason for putting Canberra on an old sheep farm in the middle of knowhere in the first place?
