What happens if an airplane takes off on the runway without ATC clearance?
Okay, I wonder what would happen if an airplane pilot pulls up the aircraft's throttle and then takes off from the runway without Air Traffic Control clearance. Could the pilot get in trouble? Will the flight attendants be in trouble too? Or will military aircraft be dispatched to shoot down the plane that has taken off from the airport with ATC clearance? I'm not a real pilot, so I don't know much about it, so yeah.
Assuming he does not collide with another plane taking off or landing, he will get a complaint filed against him and depending on the situation he could be grounded.
It gets shot down even if it is a full passenger plane, 9/11 flashbacks come back to the control tower
Well, first of all they could crash into another plane on the runway.
If they don't crash and they successfully get airborne, the pilot would have his license suspended while there's an investigation, and very likely would be permanently revoked.
They are not going to shoot down a commercial aircraft with civilian passengers simply because the pilot took off without clearances.
I took off in my plane last night without ATC clearance. In fact, almost all of my flights have been without ATC clearance… Because it's not required at the 90% or more of all airports that don't have a control tower.
If you take off without clearance at an airport that does have an operating control tower, you will either be asked to telephone the tower later to discuss a possible "pilot deviation", or the FAA may start an investigation. Depending on the situation, you may get a reprimand, a civil penalty (a fine, the most likely outcome), or have your license suspended or revoked.
The aircraft Captain would be in trouble. Nothing to due with the Flight Attendants.
No it would not be shot down. Nobody would think you are a real pilot so no need
to state that.
Thousands of airplanes take off and land in the USA every day without any assistance or direction from Air Traffic Control. ATC only gets involved at a relatively small number of our larger airports, and their function is for SAFETY, not law enforcement.
Most airports are too small for air traffic control and some only have part-time ATC service. At those airports pilots tune to the Advisory Frequency and announce their position and intentions to all other aircraft in vicinity of the airport.
At the airport where there's Air Traffic Control coverage, the tower controller will first order the aircraft attempting to take off without clearance to abort the take off. If the plane continues the take off the controller will then direct the pilot to make a phone call to the FAA to start disciplinary proceedings, up to, and including revocation of pilot's license.
For the worst case scenario of what can happen when a pilot attempts an unauthorized or unannounced take off see what happened to the United Express Flight 5925.
An over-weight plane affects landing speed and touch down speeds critically. If (for example) brakes or wheels are suspected as faulty it is safer to remove the extra problem of excess weight. This is easily done by burning off fuel. Overweight for takeoff is not the same as overweight for landing.

- Trying to get a plane ticket with Southwest Airlines. When trying to open an account it takes my name ok, but when it comes to the address,? It keeps telling me to enter a valid address. I did give them my correct address! I have tried Chrome, Firefox, and Bing all with the same results. I have tried this many times over two days with the same results. What gives?
- Airplane mechanics: why would a plane have to burn off fuel before landing? My local news just talked about a flight having to return to the airport after "mechanical issues with the nose gear", but then it said that the plane had to circle the airport for about an hour "ro burn off enough fuel for landing". I'm curiois why would it have to burn off fuel instead of just landing? Especially if it turned around for mechanical issues.
- What happens when your flight is canceled? I'm new to traveling and I want to know as much as I can before I go on my first trip just to be prepared. What happens if the flight you payed a ticket for gets canceled? Are you entitled to get a new flight from the airline, or do they refund you your ticket?
