while sat in a window seat aboard a Boeing 757.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the plane accelerates through 100 knots and hits &#8216;rotation speed,&#8217; the pilot says the plane&#8217;s nose will &#8216;come up&#8217; and the whole aircraft will come off the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He continues: &#8216;For about the first typically 800ft to 1,500ft we keep the power all the way&#8230; so the engines stay very highly spooled up.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The video then cuts to the point where the pilot starts the &#8216;flapper traction.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/13\/20\/76534171-12628759-image-m-104_1697223649714.jpg\" height=\"448\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In a bid to help airline passengers with a fear of flying, one pilot has lifted the lid on what exactly happens when a plane takes off (stock image)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The narrator explains that the &#8216;flaps&#8217; on the wings help keep the plane on course and at the right angle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sinking people that some passengers might experience during takeoff, is also due to &#8216;the airplane changing its angle as it goes into the wind.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He says this feeling is more apparent &#8216;especially in the back of the airplane.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You feel like you&#8217;re just sinking there for a minute,&#8217; the flight pro reveals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Looking out at the wings, the pilot explains that the flaps will &#8216;come up a little bit&#8217; and there will be &#8216;less curvature.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As the plane goes up further, the pilot says that there are various settings that can be employed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He reveals that on the Boeing planes there are &#8216;between one and 30&#8217; settings for the wings.<\/p>\n<p>As he continues to film, he shows how the wing flaps &#8216;retract a little bit more&#8217; to increase the plane&#8217;s speed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We can actually accelerate and get you to your destination as fast as we can,&#8217; he says of the wing flap maneuver.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To date the TikTok has been watched more than 3.4 million times with many viewers thanking the pilot for his explainer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One commenter wrote: &#8216;As someone that continues to fly even with a fear, I really appreciate the pilots that check in and talk to us throughout the flight.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another viewer echoed similar sentiments, writing: &#8216;I&#8217;ve got a fear of flying but I&#8217;ve found learning how the airplane works and what to expect has helped me.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/travel\/travel_news\/article-12628759\/pilot-plane-takeoff-really-happens-sinking.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a pilot &#8211;
