As a non flying person,I must say each time I watch your video I feel more and more like a pilot. Sir You have a special gift of making complex concepts look so easy and digestible . Best skipper 👏👏👏
@@petermcgraw7759 I believe it is a customer option- certainly for the B747 upper deck doors we had a locking system as they opened outwards and were not plug type
that guy who opened the door did it when the plane was coming in to land, at much lower altitude.. i forget, was it in Korea.. anyway, thanks for the demo, Capt..
@@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT Yes- if all the PACKS failed, the aircraft would slowly depressurise until the cabin altitude inside was equal to that outside. Then a door would be open. During routine annual flight testing to renew the airworthiness certificates in airlines, we conduct what is known as a ‘leak test’. We turn off all the PACKS at an altitude of say 35000 feet, then time how long it takes for the cabin to climb to equalize to 10,000 feet or the aircraft altitude as the leaks out- its a test of how well sealed the aircraft is and must meet stipulated requirements :)
Great demonstration Captain! I've always wondered how a "plug type door" could open outward, but that demo showed exactly how.... the mechanics of the door allow it to fit through the "hole" to open outwards and still be pulled back inside the aircraft to close and seal.
Why is everything so green? I guess that will cause eye fatigue! Airbus MCDUs are much organised and nicely code colored. Don't get me wrong, the 747 is the queen of the sky indeed!
This function is only available on the Dash 8 & the 747-400 with the NG FMS upgrade. The legacy FMS still requires any “hard coding” of a fixed MACH NO in the VNAV Pages, or by SPD INTV on the MCP.
@@pilot_obet7815 You confirmed that the Dash 400 also has this function in the newer FMCs. Can you name the least softwareversion which contains this feature in the FMC for the -400, please?
Failed the isihara despite never struggling with colour recognition in real life. I can ever easily see all the colours mentioned on these displays. Even the cheeky red lines on the engine parameters he didn't even point out. But they stuck in their old ways/tests.
