man you've reignited something inside me... Its been over a year since i completed my multi rating with no call to Join an airline.. but somehow the video has given me hope and the comment at the end really inspired me. It is not over thanks for your amazing work, just know that its not in vain
Thank you Sir and may the desires of your heart be fulfilled. Please check out all Kenya Airways socials for job openings.. There should be one coming soon. See you in the airline one day. Salute Sir (-.-)7
Yes indeed. The newer 737 variants that is the 700/800/900 are much much better all round. The 737-300 has old technology whereas the newer ones are more automated, efficient,bigger and faster. It's like comparing a 1980s Toyota Corolla that has a manual gear transmission, manual windows, side mirror, a carburettor, max speed of 80kph to the latest 2024 model that has alot of automation from pedestrian and cyclist detection to forward collision warning to 200kph speedometers.
I always check the KQ gate at Bangkok on my way home - they often leave around the same time as TG465 . Sadly this will no longer be possible as Thai have changed T465's departure time.
I will fly KQ any day because it's my airline and they are great. I want you to put a challenge. Captain. Ask your subscribers what KQ planes have they flown
Another great video as usual! I hope you dont mind me asking but...Would KQ allow a civilian such as an Aviation enthusiast to visit Pride Center to try out their Simulator?
Nina swali....during the 'dog leg' maneuver, I've noticed that the Skipper takes control and does it manually.....can the autopilot be programmed to do the same ama it's a system thing and you guyz have to do it manually?.....thanks for sharing.....
The Captain was the pilot flying hence has responsibility of the buttons on the dashboard while I monitor and verify indications. The autopilot was engaged all through during the dog leg where he used the heading mode to turn right and left to avoid weather as need be. Thank you for watching. Much appreciated 🙏🏾
Not really. I think they slpit tasks. If one is flying the plane,. the other focuses on monitoring the flight instruments to ensure everything is in order all through out the flight. It more of a 'team work' rather than 'I did it thing'. My thoughts though. I stand to be corrected.
At 2:22 ,ATC said QNH 1016, and you seted (when you passed the transition level at 3:10) QNH 1014, is it normal ? 😅 The radio altitude callouts doesnt use QNH as altimetric reference ? (Sorry for my english i'm a french Guy)
Ooh sorry. ATC gave us a new QNH a while later. I had to cut the part otherwise the video would have been quite long 😁 Thanks for the keen eye 💯✅✅✅ Merci beaucoup
Thanks you to share with us this beautiful job, it s give me motivation. AT the moment I'm make my training to be an Airline pilot , i dont have yet my ppl but it's in progress, i have only 40 h log 🙈, that's why i'm confortable with ATC conversations ^^
You are welcome and I wish you all the very best. I'm certain that one day you will become an airline pilot. We all started with zero hours so it's part of the process. You will get there. No worries.
In flight, we used the flaps and/or flight spoilers to assist in slowing down the aircraft whereas on ground, the ground spoilers and flight spoilers deploy. On touchdown I made a call 'SPEED BRAKES UP' signifying automatic deployment.
We are allowed to disengage the autopilot a little bit early so as to help improve on our aircraft handling skills. Thank you for the question. Much appreciated.
Minimums are a decision height which we use to decide if we'll continue to land or abort the approach. So, approaching minimums is a call that signifies that the aircraft is closing into towards the decision height/minimums. Thank you for your question. Much appreciated.
The frequency was quite busy at that point in time and we needed a lower altitude. As such, the break break enabled atc to release us to Freetown upon which we were cleared to a lower altitude. Leveling off would have resulted in an increase in thrust, resulting to more fuel burn, more carbon emissions,etc. The aim is to have thrust at idle power from the moment you commence descent all the way to around 5000ft above ground.
