That has to be the most informative aviation video I've ever watched! It took me 5 mornings to complete, but man was it ever interesting. I took that exact Air Canada polar route to HK many years ago on a triple 7 and now I know how much effort and planning went into it's safe operation and journey! Bravo!
@@kepitingsalto_ Yes, operations officers keep us in the air.....safely. And, yes. After 911, and the company dissolved the ESOP, our pilot salaries were cut in almost half, and the micky mouse mess manifested itself in many obvious ways....I retired early, and glad I did. It got that bad, IMHO. It wasn't worth it any longer.
Quite correct. I work performing heavy haul commercial maintenance, in Tucson AZ, on narrow single isle, to big birds-767/777/747 300/400/ and now, Dreamliners.
I'll never be able to be a pilot due to disabilities which is soul-crushing for me, but I live my dream vicariously through videos like these. Love watching experienced pilots explain their craft.
The cut was so smooth, my heart stopped for a second when the 320 did the rolling T/O and seconds after the Korean 777 was landing on the same RWY. Sheesh! Don't do that again ;-)
I am an old retired grey beard and loved flying into good old Kai Tak flying the IGS 13 on the "checkerboard" on the A340. The new airport made it soooooo easy after.
Amazing to think you can sit at thirty thousand feet watching the arctic tundra and the North Pole pass by in absolute comfort, imagine telling people a hundred years ago you'd be able to do this...
Taken this flight a few times YYz-HKG and back. Never looked at the Pole. Slept (almost) all of those14 hours and some. Cabin configuration in C-Class is unique. Always got a window, and no neighbor to make conversation.
Thanks your ( Not easy ) flight to Hongkong, with contact problem to the parts trough over north. But thankfull beautifull pics from the ice mountian!👍👍👍
What an incredible educational video. It shows the knowledge base needed to pilot "modern" commerical airplanes. Would be future commerical pilots pay particular attention. Thank you.
Yes it is Jordan... and we do our best to give our viewers here more free stuff however our full films remain in our download store only as they are sold to cover the cost of producing these films. I hate to say it but one who wants quality has to pay for it, that goes for our viewers and for us as well. We could do stuff cheaply and throw it on here for free but it would end up looking pretty lame...
@@songiization Thanks very much! Hopefully today's stuff is a lot better and I think it is... we got more and better angles in the cockpit to begin with.
Fascinating and such an awesome piece of software! Thanks Lufthansa Systems! So much thought and planning and complexities but it all makes sense - the logic and planning that goes into aviation really appeals to my logical/engineering brain! Love it thank you!
24:25 Whoa my heart lol. Wasn’t prepared for that! Had to go back and rewatch. Clever smooth editing! Interesting knowledge about polar flying. Thank you Captains for filming and sharing this. Happy Holidays!
Beautiful video, loved the detailed explanations and all the insight to polar ops. The scenery in the high Arctic and polar region is spectacular. It's a professional and personal dream of mine to operate long haul-polar so watching this is very inspiring for me! Thanks, JP!
I did a polar flight from Newark to Hong Kong. When we flew over the north pole and the capital let us know, I was the only one looking out the window. No one else cared. They were watching their movies, The same with the northern lights. The flight attendant told me to close my window because the lights interfered with the movies.
Flew from Dublin to Chicago in December 2007. It was daytime but people weren't looking outside as we flew over the southern part of Greenland. I was sitting next to my Dad and we started talking excitedly about the icebergs below. I must've piqued peoples curiosity because the conversation's started to gravitate to the icebergs below.
Fascinating video, particularly the part at the end with the dispatcher discussing the routing and myriad considerations that go into building these long, complex routes.
The comms at FL330 from the first officer seem legit like talking to space center kinda thing with that ATC voice just before they enter russian airspace
Did anyone notice as they were in line to take off, the Korean Air 777 come in for landing 4 secs after preceding Air Canada B-737 rolled for take off ???
It's interesting to see what pilots have to do to keep planes safe with it's passengers and cargo safe in the skies wow and also picturesque views of Greenland, the polar region with it's lily white icebergs wonderful footage 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️✈️
What's the actual altitude of the aircraft above sea level when flying at FL 330 in the polar regions? My understanding is that the flight levels are constant pressure surfaces.
So your question isn't answerable without you providing more info as to what you wanna know? Are you looking for an altitude AGL or AMSL? Above Ground Level (AGL) is a measurement of altitude based on the distance between the aircraft and the ground directly beneath it at a given moment. Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) is a measurement of altitude above the historic mean (average) sea level. At flight level, above the transition altitude, is measured by an altimeter using a standard barometric pressure setting of 29.92 Hg no matter the global position of the aircraft. This ensures that all aircraft are all using the same standard to measure altitude. So, FL 330 in the polar region is 33,000ft amsl. If you could get a barometric pressure reading at the pole and apply it to your altimeter you might see a 500ft deviation from the standard 29.92 Hg. Def not an 8,000ft deviation. I'm trying to avoid getting deep in the weeds which is very easy when explaining this stuff.
I was very surprised at how close your up speed in the climb was to the flap 1 limiting speed! imagine that in a gusty departure, straight into the clackers
On the aircraft identification 'label' what does '702' refer to ? is that the ICAO code for a B777-200 etc ? is it not B772 or something ? Also , in general why is the FL so low ? Highest they went was FL330. Most other long distance journeys would be FL380 - 400 (more and more FL400 is the new norm). Is it to do with polar air density and temp etc ?
Does this much planning go into most long distance flights or is this extra detail due to flying over the North Pole into Hong Kong? Also, why is there a no-fly zone in Greenland? Thanks. Great job guys! Kudos to Just Planes!
The no fly zone is due to high terrain. In a decompression event, you want to get down to 10000 feet, but it is not safe to do so in much of Greenland. The zones are designed so that you can go down to 13000 feet and have an escape route to quickly get you to an area to descend further. The area of the no fly zone is only safe to 16000 feet, and it is surrounded by zones that are at least 13000 feet, so that won't work.
OK!!!...I'm going to assume the video is trimmed at about the 24:36 right after the Air Can 737 taxis on to the runway to takeoff and goes out of the cams view. I'm making this assumption based on the calm demeanor of the 777 flight deck crew and the lack of a fire ball from the KA A330 that shows up in the vid from the left about to touch down on RW 05 around 4 seconds after the Air Can 737 starts its departure roll down the same RW. When I first watched to vid I almost shit myself when the Korean Air appears. I know RW 05 at Toronto has 2 other RW's adjacent to it, 06L and 06R, but wouldn't be in view of the camera. The Air Can 777 taxis and enters RW 05 via Hotel which would put RW's 06L and 06R behind them and out of view from their perspective. Then I spent another 15 minutes rewatching the same 15 seconds over and over, watching every detail in the background, looking for any evidence the vid was trimmed but found nothing definitive. I mention all of this because I want to give props to whomever trimmed this vid. Even though I knew it was the only possible explanation I still had moments of doubt because of the awesome edit of the vid. Love the work you guys do!!!
