Great video!
Are you sure that was a flex takeoff and not TOGA? It sounded almost like there were two separate reductions at the thrust reduction altitude..

Hi, thank you so much!
You’re correct, thank you for pointing this out.
I flew on 2 American A320s within a small timeframe, and one was a FLEX and one used TOGA for takeoff. I had pre-wrote the descriptions for both flights, and this was the incorrect one, so I fixed it. The other one is a subscribers-only video by the way, I’m sorry if you couldn’t find it. The reason we used TO/GA was due to low-level wind shear and an outside air temperature of 113°F. The plane was also approaching max-takeoff weight. Thank you for watching!!!

I heard the FOPP howl a little bit inside this aircraft.

3:09 This almost sounds like an air conditioner after like 2 minutes.

[@inflight_aviation]

That’s true! The sound gets more muffled as the aircraft gains altitude so I can see why you think that.

[@LaredoAirlines]

What type of engine are those

[@inflight_aviation]

CFM56-5B4
