@@frankgallagher5786 About 30 degree bank but it varies with the speed, in the 20 to 30 degree range. The idea is to turn 3 degrees of heading per second, thereby completing a 180 degree turn in 1 minute.
It definitely is a scary turn for those of us scares of flying. I know that flying on United from IAD to MUC was pretty chil. But flying Lufthansa on a A320 from Muc to Berlin was scary as shit. I swore the pilot must have been a Luftwaffe reservist with how aggressively he made his turns. Both the 320s I rode within Germany seemed more extreme than the United flight to Germany, the Lufthansa flight back to the US, or my smaller United connecting flights within the US.
I remember working in Seattle and driving home one afternoon on I-5 alongside Boeing Field. The 747 prototype was in test and coming in for a landing from the south. It had full flap extension and gear down. It hung in the air like a huge bird settling in. The sight stopped all traffic on the interstate in both directions until it touched down. Amazing sight to behold.
I believe the car stopping Awe. The Commentator is talking about approximately 1970. The Boeing 747 was an awesome site. I remember seeing the early Boeing 747 on the cover of a magazine as a boy and running to my older brother to show him the awe picture.
Sorry but cars ain’t stopping on a major interstate because of a plane. Don’t care if it’s the space shuttle….people ain’t stopping and risking a 70mph rear ender
the computer does mostly all the work. they just have to program the plane and babysit it. its pretty easy actually once you learn it. just requires alot of consentration. IMO the air traffic controller is one of the most hectic jobs and high stress. ATC is where the respect is due.
Wow that was beautiful. Anytime I’ve flown, whenever the plane banks sharp like that it always took my breath. I felt like we were going to slide out of the sky. 😂 Fly safely Captain. God bless you always. Love from the USA.
Everyone is so used to the gentle and slow acting motions of the plane that any deviation is an amazement! These planes can do a lot more than what the general public experiences!
Always blows me away how slow the takeoff roll appears from the runway visual. Its not till you look at the buildings along side that you see the actual speed. Beautiful landscape!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video, well done! Would you be okay with me featuring this takeoff in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
I was in the jump seat when a 747 we had in test took off out of Glasgow Montana in a heavy snowstorm. It was really cool as was breaking into the sunlight. Beautiful. Also a 747 is a great snowblower. It's how we kept the ramp clear of snow and ice. Fun times.
I lived on the flight path just four miles from Dublin Airport . We saw the original jumbos flying over most days. An amazing sight and sound. We used to run into the garden to watch them.
nice views . stunning .. love the 747 .. my father used to do the wiring in them in the 70's for boeing .. my mother also worked for Boeing (service bulletins) and i worked for a sub contractor in Washington state
Hi Captain. Loved seeing what you see as you fly down the runway. The hum of the engines after takeoff…amazing. Beautiful, snowy wonderland beneath you…awesome left turn…wow…loved it ❤️😊
Like sitting in the family SUV, starting down the highway, changing to a formula1 race car, lifting TONS of aircraft off the ground and shooting skywards! The beauty of flight NEVER ceases to amaze me!✈️💕🇨🇦
As you know, takeoff on JFK’s 31L also has a steep left turn after takeoff for noise abatement. The first time I was on one of those flights, I said, “You had the whole Atlantic Ocean to sneak over to the left; you had to turn us upside-down 100 feet off the ground??” 😂😂
@@mta224 No. Canarsie (in Brooklyn) is the name of the approach to runway 13L. Runway 31L departures begin at 314 degrees, with almost immediate turns to 237, 183, 172, pretty tight turns after takeoff. The departure route doesn’t overfly Brooklyn at all, so it not related to Canarsie in any way.
@@wotan10950 That's nothing compared to the old stadium approach into runway 31 at LGA. In a 767on a windy day, you can hear some passengers start to scream. Today's approach is easy. Too bad they changed it.
My family and I sat on a plane in Florida for almost 45 minutes because the captain, nor the co-pilot had showed up. I'm assuming their golf game ran a bit later than usual or maybe they wanted to have a cocktail before flying...who knows. (dont say anything...it's happened and you know it). Everyone was sweating, it was 8 pm in the evening and these two finally board the plane. Everyone starts clapping and several people were saying things "its about time, or finally." One british dude actually yelled out "where the bloody hell have you been?" It was not long afterwards that a very friendly voice came over the intercom, introducing himself and he promptly said, "everyone make sure your seatbelts are fastened tight, cuz we're going to fly it like we stole it." This was a Delta flight for anyone thats curious. The entire plane erupted with laughter. It was great. Had a wonderful flight, but we sure deserved it.
Beautiful, especially the sun through the windshield! It reminds of one of my favorite scenes from The Empire Strikes Back: the Millennium Falcon entering Cloud City.
What makes this turn so awesome is that it's done with a 747, if it was a Gulfstream G550 that would be just another hard left bank...thanks for sharing this great video with us all, best to you always...👍👍✈
Absolutely beautiful!! Don't know where you were, but the sights were amazing!!❄❄ Awesome roll out to take off!! Finally got to see what is meant by '30 second run up' -- as I hear that a lot on PANC flights. Now I actually got to experience it -- with the best crew!! Impressive heading turn by FO! Excellent teamwork!! Thanks for sharing part of your day with all of us!! Stay safe out/up there!! Blessings and cheers -- ALWAYS!! 💕✈✈💕
Hi Thomas, It’s been a while since I’ve touched base with you. I hope all is well in New Jersey with you. Hope you missed the recent nor’easter. Looks like I’ve escaped snow for this winter. Never had to shovel even once. Looking forward to Spring 2023. How’d you like that left bank in the video?
@@WayCoolDog Hey Carol ! Yes it's been some time since I text you. Sorry. Yeah same here in Bayonne New Jersey. No snow at all. So far. The winter has been mild. Thank God ! Happy St Patrick's Day to u and your family. I enjoy the Captain's video's
@@WayCoolDog All's well with us. How's it going your way ? Bye for now from New Jersey. Your friend Tom McManus .Have a good Sunday. God Bless you and your family. 🇺🇸😊👍👍👍
@@thomasmcmanus6575 - Good to hear all is well with you. Glad you missed out on some of the heavy snow that fell over the northeast. Looking forward to sunshine, flowers and being outdoors. Take care Thomas.
At first I wondered why he said “Take-Off TræææÆÆÆST!» instead of take of thrust. Then I recognized the airport. What a beautiful hommage to the local norwegian alphabet you did there!
That is an amazing video , Thank you so much ! The 747 Will always be the most beautiful airplane ever put into the skies ! I would love to ride in one , And I most likely won't ever at my age, and situation !
I remember a couple test flights on VC-25A in the winter of ‘91 where our captain yanked her off the ground. With the four CFM56’s, our takeoff roll was very short. But then again, there were only the flight crew and about 10 flight test engineers onboard, so it was a “hotrod”.
The 747 was the only 'Queen of the Skies', such a legacy over so many decades.Bye bye snow and freezing weather,passengers might have said looking out at the frozen wonderland.Destination Barbados perhaps.Champagne anyone.?!!.
Can never understand why some pilots have such a vertical takeoff and sharp turns?? Adding 10 seconds to takeoff and turns smooths the flight out so much more and new passengers arent nervous.
This was absolutely beautiful!! I love the Queen and seeing her from this perspective is always so enjoyable! I wish there would be flights for pax, who love flying, that would do that degree of bank!! Amazing! The FO did a beautiful job! Wishing you safe flights always! 🙏✈️
