Why does it feel weird when a plane takes off?

Answer: The sensation of slowing down is really one of slowing the rate of acceleration; this is due to reducing the thrust after takeoff to the climb setting. The sensation of “dropping” comes from the retraction of the flaps and slats. The rate of climb is reduced, causing it to feel like a descent.

How long does it take a plane to take off?

Answer: You are correct that a twin-engine jet will have an average takeoff run of 30 – 35 seconds, good observation. It will vary depending on the altitude of the airport, the weight of the airplane and the outside temperature. The lift-off speed (VR) will also vary depending on the weight.

How do you know when a plane is ready to take off?

You can feel the plane backing up from the jetway and heading towards the runway. It may take a little bit of time for your planes turn to have a clear path to take off, other planes are taking off all the time. Once you hit your runway you’ll feel the plane start to accelerate, this must be it!

Do you get a bad feeling when you take off the plane?

I don’t typically get a bad feeling when boarding a plane or taking off… but I do feel the strange motions of suddenly speeding up to, like, 60 mph and then being lifted off the ground. Same for when the landing happens. Sometimes can get a little nauseous and maybe a headache… But that’s true for any long trip.

How do you feel when a plane lands?

To me, the landing is a bit more nerve wracking. The pilot will turn on the fasten seatbelt signs about 10-20 minutes before landing and you will feel the plane start descending. If it’s day time, you will see the ground getting closer and closer as the planes altitude decreases.

How do you know when a plane is descending?

The pilot will turn on the fasten seatbelt signs about 10-20 minutes before landing and you will feel the plane start descending. If it’s day time, you will see the ground getting closer and closer as the planes altitude decreases. As you are nearing the ground you will hear some mechanical sounds underneath the plane and around the wings.
