A320 Cockpit Shortield Takeoff from Skiathos

A320 Cockpit – Shortield Takeoff from Skiathos-Startup, Takeoff, Climb-Cyprus Airways-2nd St Maarten

A cockpit film including all procedures filmed in the cockpit of an Airbus A320-232 of Cyprus Airways, at the Second St Maarten, Skiathos Airport. This is no ordinary takeoff, as it was a Flap 3 shortfield takeoff with a Flex temperature of 46! That is because this is no ordinary runway either, as it is very short, very narrow, and is even sloped. The pilots were an inch from selecting TOGA thrust but changed to Flex 46 as it turned out to be just enough. Watch some brilliant cockpit action including pre-flight cockpit preparation, engine startup, taxi, backtrack on runway 20, takeoff, climb and cruise.
