Thanks a lot for watching! One of the reasons I shared this video is because of the peculiar parking stand alignment, as you noticed. It involves taxiing directly towards the building, then turning sharply about 135 degrees, it’s a self manoeuvring stand.
I noticed that also in these cockpit videos of european or some asian carriers. As i commented that the pilot after rotating off the runway, reaches the nav panel, to engage the autopilot. Then likewise, on short-final approach, even after the computer announces, “one-thousand feet,” the flight is still in auto-pilot, only then does the pilot disengages the auto-pilot. Is my observation incorrect? Is this company-policy for all their pilots? Not much “hand-flying” to gain experience and skills of flying. How are they able to resume control of the aircraft if an abnormality occurs?
You might not have noticed that this is a non-standard 4 degree approach, from a short final. In the summer heat of Marseille, this may be a 4.3 degree path in the end, with the 737MAX struggling to decelerate without busting maximum operating speeds for the flaps. In demanding approaches like this, where both crew are concerned with decelerating the airplane using optimum configuration, it really helps to keep the automatics in until fully stabilised. Lastly, as others mentioned above, humans are good dealing with exceptional non-routine situations as decision makers, while the autopilot is good in dealing with predictable but repetitive tasks (level flight, continuous climb/descent etc). This is why we use the autopilot during these predictable and repetitive portions of the flight, to make sure that when humans are needed (non-standards, emergencies, manual landings) we are rested and alert to perform at optimum level. Hope this answers your question!
Altitude alert horn; it sounds around 800 feet to selected altitude when approaching it, and around 300ft away from selected altitude when deviating from it. It is mainly for situational awareness. Nothing to do with capturing an altitude or any autopilot modes.
Why does the runway only start halfway through the asphalt stretch? Why is there a very long stretch of asphalt that isn't used as part of the runway too?
Great question! That’s what we call a displaced threshold; that part of the runway cannot withstand the weight of an aircraft touching down, but can be used for the takeoff roll, therefore it has to be appropriately marked.
I have noticed in these, Cockpit View videos, that these pilots don’t manually fly their aircraft’s during the entire flight. Why is that? Isn’t flying any aircraft manually, increase the experience and skills of these pilots?
imagine having to steer the aircraft, keep the wings level horizontally, and keep the correct flight heading for 15 hours... its just impossible, because the pilots would be too tired. Thats why the autopilot is steering the aircraft most of the time, pilots just manually take off and land the airplane
manual operations are only taken during the takeoff and landing, and even some landing cases may require a full autopilot control in low visibility conditions. search for CAT III ils full auto landing as a reference
Sure, but it also significantly reduces the workload the pilot has the capacity to manage. Also, flying level at 38000 feet does not do much for your skills. At my airline we usually fly the approaches from about 10000 feet manually if the weather is alright, otherwise there is more to deal with around the aircraft which the automation helps you with.
@@yupoorlucifer87 That's really sad to not be able to do our dream job because of medical issue... Me, I have hearing problem at my left ear only, but I think that I will never be able to be pilot... And yes flight simulator is really good to compensentate our problems
@@fortel7939 I'm sad to hear that. Don't lose your chance, though. Even a small percentage can change a lot. So go do the medical exam if you haven't already. Anyway I hope you do well, man. Good luck
@# YUPoorLucifer Thanks, but I'm really starting to consider giving up...Having hearing problems can be really problematic in my everyday life... But I'm still going to see a doctor to see if I could still try... And thank you
I have been a licenced pilot for 7 years now, and commercial pilot flying the 737 for 3 years. Please check out my videos on my channel from my entire journey to the right hand seat :)
We had a wingman and a marshaller for that manoeuvre - in fact, the captain noted ground service equipment in close proximity to our left winglet, stopped a little and nodded that ground staff clear it, and then proceeded to turn right.
While the approach was nice, the ladning seemed very flat as there was barely any nose down moment after the main gear touched down. Kind of risky with such a low safety margin.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback! This is because the landing was made with flaps 40, target pitch 0°. Flap 30 landings have an approximate pitch target of 1.5°. You absolutely need F40 on a 4° approach with tailwind in MRS.
