UPDATE!
As far as I’m aware, this was NOT an ATC related situation: it appears the MAS pilot(s) maybe didn’t expect the BA jet to hold for so long? just bad timing for the roll-on 🤷🏼♂️
Of course, we often see two aircraft on the same runway when the lead aircraft is departing from an intersection point, but to line-up this close (behind) is unusual. You can even see the smoke blast from the engines as I zoom 😯
Even small engines like the CFM56, V2500 (in this case with the BA Jet) or even the CF34 can inflict some serious damage from takeoff thrust.
Engines and sensors are at most risk for the trailing aircraft. It’s almost as bad as sand-blasting with tiny particles of rubber and grit. In my view they’re lucky one of the Speed or altitude sensors didn’t get blocked!
One (member) A220pilot said he’d be concerned about damage to his sensors from the Jet blast if he was that close 🚀
This is something never witnessed before. We’ve seen a few close ones ‘rolling-in’ as the lead aircraft is starting its takeoff run. All the other departures are more ‘timed’ by the pilots, with ATC synchronising the whole thing like a well-timed movement.
