Crazy Boeing 767 pilot takes off on tiny runway after emergency landing

“ air story in the devising , ” says the YouTube description . I do n’t know about that , but it ’s pretty wild to see this Ethiopian Airlines ’ Boeing 767 - 300ER ask off in a shockingly poor space at Arusha Airport , in Tanzania . That rail is only 5,351 feet ( 1,631 meters ) long .

Keep in mind that a fully load 767 - 300ERrequires about 2,713 meters(8900 feet ) to take off , although that motley depending on the track summit . But expect at Boeing ’s tables and be intimate that Arusha is at an raising of 4,551 feet ( 1,387 meters ) , it seems about right .

Of naturally , this takeoff is not a miracle . purgative are physics and escape manuals are flight manuals : such conformation and such environmental experimental condition for such takeoff distance . But still , it ’s a speculative takeoff and a pleasure to watch — especially moot that the YouTube author claims that it came after an emergency landing place .
