Full Power Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-MAX9 WINDY & BUMPY Takeoff from Seattle Tacoma, WA ~ KSEA/SEA

PERFORMANCE DATA INCLUDED Now this wasn’t ideal. I was booked on a 737-700 with a much better seat but that aircraft broke on the arrival into Seattle, so the maintenance delay would cause me to miss my connection in Anchorage. The gate agent switched me onto this flight and I got the last open window. The winds were quite gusty this day so with a 10 knot airspeed loss reported on the departure end of runway 16L, the crew made the decision to go for a full power takeoff. The original planned takeoff performance is listed below along with what we ended up doing. It's a shame I couldn't get an engine view for this flight but it's just a 737max and the N1 wasn't as high as I've witnessed before on other 737max takeoffs. With that, the bumpy takeoff and windy yet scenic climb out accompany the raw power from this 737-MAX9 to still provide for excellent footage. Enjoy the show!
