Boeing 767 GE CF6 Power Engine Run

A Boeing 767-338ER with GE CF6-80C2B6 engines. Check out how much load and movement the nose gear is put under in an engine run.
With this aircraft and engine it is fine to run one engine at power and the other at idle aslong as the engine making the power does not increase throttle too suddenly unlike some other aircraft (e.g. CF6 powered A330) where the second engine needs some power to balance out the thrust loads

CF6!!! *runs to engine & gives it a big hug & petting*

[@jjjw777]

awesome video mate! You have an awesome job!

[@YankeeTango748]

0:03 that is power!

[@derekwall200]

that's what 62,000 lbs of thrust looks like

[@tidaholmarn]

this is what i call a real video - massive :)

[@hhbristol2043]

Exellent acceraration sound of CF6 from 2:10!

[@derekwall82]

usually when youre putting the most weight load on the front nose gear is during run-ups, landing and reverse thrust, and during an RTO when they have to deploy the speed brakes on the wings. and all those create downward force

[@american0153]

The full model of the engines are “CF6-80C2B6F”

[@nik0huelel]

Holy fucking cow that sound

[@xNAILEDxITx]

0:03 was that plane trying to take off XD

[@coolguy2873]

That was probably a mistake.

[@derekwall200]

I wonder if these are the CF6-80 series engines

GE CF6-80C2B6

[@derekwall200]

matt18333 cool, the older ones used on the DC 10s and MD11s look like pratt and whitney JT9s with just a line on the spinner cone

[@derekwall200]

how much does a CF6-80 weigh? and how much do they cost USED?

[@derekwall200]

damn i saw the nose gear move to the right a little bit. i hope they have the E brakes, the wheels chocked, and the tug keeping her still

[@derekwall200]

and btw i subscribed to your channel

[@derekwall200]

if I were you guys id anchor that monster down because at %100 percent power I doubt the tug would be able to hold her in place

[@matt18333]

Brakes on does the job, chocked mains just to be sure. Should never chock the nose gear on a run though as the nose always wants to move around so its better to let it move around alittle than put it under not normal side loads

[@derekwall200]

matt18333 why not chock the nose wheel does it move during full power ground runs?

[@derekwall200]

@@matt18333 or have the pilot hold onto the tiller. was that movement from just one engine pulling on the plane?

[@matt18333]

@@derekwall200 sorry for the late reply! So yeah all that movement comes from one engine in the case of this video. It's not unusual for the nose to finish the ground run slightly to the side of were it started on 767 engine runs from hopping. Having it chocked puts too much side load on the gear itself, so it's better to let it move abit.
1 engineer will normally hold his foot on the brakes and at all times 1 hand on the thrust levers while the another will assist him watch the readings. No need to hold the tiller has hydraulic pressure keeps the wheels nose straight with the steering bypass pin removed.

[@derekwall200]

@@matt18333 cool. i wouldn't want to be standing next to the nose gear and have my hands anywhere near the shock absorber. that can be a nasty little pinch point. i have flown on a 767 only once in my entire life, and yet i grew up around planes because my mother was a mechanic for continental airlines in colorado back when denver was called stapleton. so i have always been interested in aircraft and aircraft propulsion

Is incest wrong? My mum says its not but it doesnt stop me feeling violated :'(
