Wow. Such busy radio traffic. Winter weather. I could not do what these people do everyday. Thanks for showing how skilled controllers and pilots really can be.
Landing an aircraft is one of the hardest parts of flying. Whether touchdown is at 50 knots or 150 knots the pilot must level off a few feet above a rapidly moving runway and lower the airplane gently to touch down. This is not easy! It takes a lot of practice to pull it off consistently. The reward is incredible.
With all the things pilots must do to land their aircraft, and then the constant chatter from ATC and keeping their ears open to respond to directions from ATC, and then post landing navigating around these huge airports, I have to say it takes a very special person, male or female, to be a pilot. Thanks for these cockpit videos.
anybody else using these for covid19 stress relief...the news is becoming unbearable n extremely depressing...this is so relaxing...forget all my troubles.....
Good video; Iberia fly Spain-NY for more sixty years, then Lockkeed L-1049 Superconstellation and me 1975-1981. Was a revolution in commercial aviation, being fitted with pressurised and air-conditioned cabins which permitted flights at high altitudes, and a high degree of passenger comfort. With these aircraft, Iberia inaugurated in 1954 its services to New York, naming them after Christopher Columbus´ fleet of ships. Its range was of 9400 kms. and the crusing speed was 565 kms. per hour, at an altitude of 7000 metres. After: DC-8/52 (1962-1971); SUPER DC-8/63 (1972-1981); BOEING 747 JUMBO JET (1982-2006) and AIRBUS series now.
Don't you think the A-340 is the actual son of both the Boeing 707 and the DC-8 ? Obviously the best looking airliner ever built for the last 40 years. Too bad it's not produced anymore (the last ones were made in 2011).
Great approach and landing. I'm impressed that NY controllers speak relatively slowly to international traffic. That's hardly the case in the interior for domestic traffic.
Grandísimo vídeo. Grandes recuerdos al verlo, un año antes, en enero fui con la parienta y la estampa era calcada, y qué frío hacía, coño! Gracias por el vídeo, Capitán. Saludos desde Madrid.
i love how ground control gives info and pilots acknowledge and dose exactly sounds so firm and cool....i wish i can become a pilot but to old..😉👏👏👍👍👌👌
You've never been in Amsterdam then? If you're taking off runway 36L, you may start wondering if they are going to taxi the plane to your destination airport.
