"Shhh!! Be very quiet! We are flying over rich people's neighborhoods." A direct quote from one of the flight attendants on a Southwest departure during that "Rocket Ride" takeoff.
I live about 8 miles from SNA directly under the most frequently used flight path. The sound of the P&W engines are very unique which must be due to the geared fans. Very much a mechanical whine as the engine speed changes. Before I retired I worked a lot with Bombardier on a new type of galley refrigeration mainly because the electrical generators are not operated at a constant speed so the frequency changes in line with the engine revolutions. Unfortunately I retired before before the C series entered commercial service so never got to fly in it. I wish it every success.
SNA's take off path goes over super wealthy areas of Newport Beach, so they hold back after off the ground and quietly slips out to the oceans before they are allowed to rev up the engine again. If you have a funny captain, he/she may say "shh... we are flying over rich people, so we have to be quiet..."
@@ChrisTopheRaz Really?? You guys would ACTUALLY go to another airport just because you think "rich" people (i.e. people who apparently have things you don't) dictate the airport policy? What a waste of your own time. 🤣
@@ChrisTopheRaz and you're saying you won't fly out of OC again because of some reasons you have in your head about their "richness" which you're not able to articulate? Funniest thing I've read today. 🤣🤣
In nineteen eighty six we flew out of john wayne airport in a 737-300 and captain anounced the steeper take off and said engines will be pushed to 100%,i loved it!!!
Love taking off from John Wayne, The rocket take off and the bit of a drop to level off is crazy fun! I miss visiting California and SNA. Thanks for the great footage.
When I was a flight attendant for American, the steepest climb (and the one aircraft I hated to fly) was the MD-83. Man that aircraft sucked for a flight attendant! Loud, too many people, and the cabin layout was irritating at best.
SNA Noise Abatement Procedure. Its mostly a pitch maneuver for the first 1,000 feet. Computer spits out 2 different pitch attitudes to fly. One for climb to 1,000 feet and the other for the level off as the engine cutback begins. No configuration changes till you clear the shore line or specific DME. Clean up and off you go after that.
Brings back good memories. When I was a kid I would fly every summer from Idaho where I lived to visit my grandparents in Newport Beach. I always loved the steep SNA takeoffs. Was really fun when I got to takeoff in a UAL 757 from there.
anyone who has taken off from SNA knows that feeling of weightlessness when the plane levels off. Sometimes you will get an audible gasp from other passengers when who aren't expecting it.
We took off from there years ago right after they made the rule. I didn't really notice much difference other than leveling off sooner, which is fine with me.
I used to fly in & out of John Wayne SNA a lot. Takeoff out of SNA is like a roller coaster ride. Once, right after takeoff, right when they throttle down the engines over Newport to quiet the noise and the plane is vulnerable, we had a bird strike. Something large and white whizzed beneath my window and hammered into the starboard engine. It was a large pelican. Luckily, it bounced off the engine housing, instead of getting sucked INTO the engine. Had that happened, I might not be typing this.
They'll fly fine on one engine. I had a nearly hit the wing strut of the 172 I was flying during initial climb out of YBSU while taking the girlfriend for a sight seeing flight. Not sure out of the three of us who got the bigger fright but to me a pelican has never looked bigger.
Glad Harrison Ford was not flying in while they were taxi/hold on runway. The reason for that dramatic noise abatement people are all the old cronies in Laguna and Newport Beach who don't like airplane noise from their multi-million dollar mansions. I say make NOISE, BE LOUD!
Surprised, actually, that they had to use the noise abatement given how much quieter the A220's engines are compared to, well, any other commercial jet airliner that I know of, at least.
I had been warned about the take off from Orange County.. Basically they lock the brakes put the engines to the wall. and release the brakes. Once you reach a certain altidue they idles the engines and you coast until you are clear of the residential areas.. It's wild I can tell you that..Thankfully the captain came on and told s exectly what was going on since this was going to be a very differnt take off..
Well, not idle (which would cause the aircraft to lose altitude), but a noticeable thrust reduction anyway. Given that any Part 25 aircraft (most commercial airliners) can cruise around fine on one engine if the other one is lost, merely reducing the thrust some at 1500 ft on two good engines isn't a big deal. But it is kind of fun. The other thing for that departure, done at about the same time as the thrust reduction, is a slight change in heading to the left relative to the original runway heading. Probably not noticeable by most passengers, it sends the aircraft (along with the loudest part of its noise footprint) over the middle of Upper Newport Bay instead of houses.
@@jmantravels Yes, I know I'm in a very small minority but I actually can't stand buzzsaw noise. I really like the constant thunder-like rumbling noise from the exhaust, that's my favorite. It's especially loud in the 777-300ER which sounds like and feels like a rocket launch during takeoff.
I'd actively take off with a higher flap setting to generate more aerodynamic noise just to spite the snobby people who built houses around an airport then complain about aircraft noise
But note how _quiet_ the A220 is, thanks to the PW1100G geared turbofan engines. As a result, this type of plane is well-suited for the type of noise-restricted airports like SNA.
We actually didn't get any heads up either which I found super odd! But I think it's because the A220 is so much quieter that things are a lot less dramatic. This is the only SNA departure I've taken so I don't have anything else to compare it to 🤷
My mother and I went to visit my brother for Thanksgiving about 7 years ago originally had LAX tickets and he made us change them over to John Wayne because it was easier for him to pick up which makes sense but then everyone started telling me about to takeoff from John Wayne and how scary it is and I’m not freaked out passenger not horribly but it still seems unnatural So Everyone’s telling me how scary these pick ups off I start looking on RUclips and watching them in hearing about what it feels like and you’re being very prepared to be scared I couldn’t tell any difference because it was a great pilot or I feel that up a lot more in my head I mean I have to admit I have flooding literally the worst weather consistently I’ve told people if you’re scared of the weather I don’t get on the plane. And honestly that was probably some of the best weather ever flown in. LoL
I've been on planes that take off like this out of Sacramento so many times I've lost track and this doesn't look any different to me. I don't get what the point here is maybe I need to actually be on a plane taking off from this airport because it doesn't appear to be out of the ordinary. Should fly lower, or slower, don't commercial airlines cruise at over 30,000 feet? How should they get there?
One of THE QUIETEST jets in the short haul market right now. And they FAR surpass the Boeing MAX's. Look for them to take over in the near future folks.
98% of the time the wind comes inland FROM the ocean… Except during the Santa Ana winds, where it come from inland TOWARDS the ocean; sometimes at 20+ mph.
No, the A220 is not French. It was originally designed by Bombardier, a Canadian company, and formerly known as the CSeries. Later this program was sold to Airbus.

Did the FA do it in an Elmer Fudd-esque voice by any chance? 😂😂
lol hahaha
It's always fun sitting next to a nervous passenger taking off from SNA. They get really nervous when they hear the engines rev down.
Well yeah it's scary your first time. You wonder why it's so quiet and why it feels like you're dropping.
@@SimMaster I love flying and I was even a bit nervous because I wasn’t expecting it.
I love the rocket take-offs from John Wayne Airport especially when there was only 11 people on board an Alaska Airlines MD-80 years ago!
I miss those planes so much!
That is called an Orange County Board of Supervisors "Noise Abatement takeoff".
Oh yea SNA...A noise ordinance airport, don't wanna disrupt the snobby's below.

That sounds like a challenging but fun problem to work on! I'm studying EE but working as a systems engineering intern for a large HVAC company.
I world and santa ana and have been wondering were that sound came from on those planes. I knew it was the engine but dint know how or the type
Delta uses it for their west coast flights from the SLC hub

My grandparents live under that flight path. They bought the house in 1950.
Very smooth and quiet take-off.
Love the sound of those Pratt & Whitney 1500's!!!
Heart-in-mouth stuff!
Views of that coastline never get old! Great engine view as well!

I absolutely want to fly out of there for this E-Ticket rocket ride experience. Can’t wait!!
Steepest rate of climb that I remember from childhood is, 757 (with Rolls Royce RB211s) and MD 83.
I was originally booked on a 757 to DTW but delta canceled that flight sadly so I had to take the A220
Exactly what I was thinking. They are at the top of the class, as far as the takeoffs are concerned.
@@longbeach7623 I've made it a mission to fly them as much as possible until they are all retired!
When I was a flight attendant for American, the steepest climb (and the one aircraft I hated to fly) was the MD-83. Man that aircraft sucked for a flight attendant! Loud, too many people, and the cabin layout was irritating at best.

Superb clip! I'm glad you posted a video highlighting the A220's specialty: Easily launching from short runways!
Thanks it was awesome!
The “Whale sound” of the A220’s engines are amazing at 1:36
Those silent PW engines make me miss the 757 even more
I fly Delta's 757 as often as possible!
We still have Icelandair flying 757s on this side of the Atlantic. Really miss them. Flew on so many since 1987
Delta still uses 757s to ATL from this airport

Amazing performing the shorter takeoff of the A220! 🤩🛩️🛫
Is the A220 older than the A320neo and the A350?

What a beautiful view 😍
We took off from there years ago right after they made the rule. I didn't really notice much difference other than leveling off sooner, which is fine with me.
I flew on a Delta A220 for the first time a couple months ago, from BOS to DFW and back. Nice, comfortable plane!
Love the a220
Me too! One of my favourite aircraft along with the A350! Unfortunately the A220 is still not popular here in Asia.

That spool up though 🔥🔥🔥

Experienced that take off and levelling on an America West 737 a very long time ago. The pilot did warn us.
Some P&W, GE and RR engines are humming for spooling up the throttle.

Way to quiet!
Fantastic stuff - Perfect view of the entire engine nacelle and the wing. Good luck on the channel keep it up! 5:18 would make a better thumbnail also

Looks like a bit of rust on the wing above the engine mount. 😲😲😲
the a220 can take off really quickly if its half empty. the problem is when its a full plane with tons of bags
But note how _quiet_ the A220 is, thanks to the PW1100G geared turbofan engines. As a result, this type of plane is well-suited for the type of noise-restricted airports like SNA.
A220 has PW1500G.
@@abdullaharif6455 The problem: Pratt & Whitney doesn't name their geared turbofans properly. 😒
You'd think spooling back the engines on that plane would create more noise if it caused the whale song noise to happen over Newport Beach.
The first time I ever took off at John Wayne I though I was gonna die. No heads up from the pilot like they seem to always do now...
We actually didn't get any heads up either which I found super odd! But I think it's because the A220 is so much quieter that things are a lot less dramatic. This is the only SNA departure I've taken so I don't have anything else to compare it to 🤷
SOMETIMES the pilots announce it in advance, not always. I fly out of SNA often.
Damn I need to fly out of here someday. My upcoming trip will be out of LAX.
I honestly like LAX more simply for the widebody aircraft and the lounges 😂
1:49 ❤
Idk why these engines need to be revved down. They're so quiet. Only on a v2500 they would need to throttle down
Noise abatement is mandatory at this airport
Sad Airbus lover noises!!! Lol!!! 😂
The runways are so short it's like being flung from a slingshot!
Those engines are really quite
Excellent video. Do you use a suction cup mounted to the window? If so, which one? Thx
that PW is quiet!.. oh were in the air now? lol
Way to quiet!
IKR! Amazingly quiet!
@@jmantravels No such thing as too quiet. 😁
@@TheUtuber999 is there such a thing as to loud?
@@jmantravels That depends on whether you live near an airport. 😃
It’s a great aircraft, low noise level, smooth takeoff. But as far as rocketing is concerned, the 717 beats it. And the MD-90 beforehand.
I haven't been on a 717 in a long time, I am working on a trip to catch some soon!
It’d be kinda funny if you’re next to a nervous passenger and when the engines spool down a bit you yell” OH SHIT THE ENGINE FAILED”.

Why does the A220 need this noise abatement protocol when it is already very quiet? Shouldn't the regulations allow exceptions?
You would think so, but it is just a blanket policy for all planes. Maybe it will change in the future, but probably not!
Departure in 757 is even better.
I bet! But Delta canceled my 757 fight and I had to switch to the A220. Still cool though!
@@jmantravels absolutely. Any departure out of SNA is killer. 757's are just so powerful. Worked at SNA for years. Good times
Why does the engine reach full takeoff power after staying at moderate takeoff power for a few seconds?
To make sure the everything is "in the green" before going full power.

Noise abatement. Pilots sometimes warn the passengers of steep climb-outs.
No warning this time, maybe on a 757 they would though!
This is awesome, what camera did you use? Quality is on point!
Thanks! I use the GoPro hero 8 black!
A220s sound more like Airbus planes than CRJs. They don’t sound like CRJs at all.
Well they came from Bombardier, and they are super quiet!
The engine howl 😩😩😩

Probably 10E, or 3D
Nothing unusual at the airport you can’t fly your aircraft in there if u can’t do that. It’s required to operate out of the airport
