Cockpit Full Flight with ATC: Aurigny ATR72, Manchester to Guernsey 

Haha thanks Shane! Hope you enjoyed it!

The pilot who produced the cockpit video removed his video from YT. I assume he got in trouble with Aurigny (The faces were not previously blurred)

Thank you James! You'll be absolutely fine - do you know what type of plane you're on?

Not sure of the actual make but it's the Aer Lingus regional device from dublin to Aberdeen operated by stobart air.

Mika I hope the managment team are still as good and the FO hasn't got into any trouble. There's nothing affecting flight safety or privacy here. If anything, i feel it's put Aurigny into good light and promoted them.

It is, and its down to opinion on the management :P - I still love Aurigny no matter who runs it, my first memories of them were on their Shorts 360s :D

My pleasure!

Haha! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video :)

To put it in a nutshell, takeoff is always done manually. I haven't heard of any plane taking off on full autopilot. Pilots fly the plane themselves and the time they fly it themselves before switching the plane to autopilot depends on the pilot, the weather conditions etc. In-flight cruise is completely on autopilot, when the plane is equipped as such. Landing is a different story, almost all of the time, approach and the phase upto what is called "final" (when the plane is established on the runway glideslope and fully-configured for landing - gear down, flaps and/or slats in landing position etc) is managed by the plane's computers, at a certain point though, the pilot flying takes over and manually flies the plane and lands it. I have left out quite a few details but this is an "overall" idea of how it all works. By the way, when I say autopilot, it isn't just one button that does it. You can put the plane in auto-climb/descent, have the autopilot just control the throttles etc. But the notion that planes completely do everything on their own is not entirely true. Most pilots still enjoy manual flying.

Haha :) . I remember flying on an Air New Zealand / Mount Cook Airlines ATR a few years ago from AKL to PMR :)

Thanks Toby!

The airline decides weather or not you can film in the cockpit. Not the pilots

TrainNutter wow that’s good to know I didn’t know that thanks for the information

Thanks Cyrus!

Thank you, thanks for watching :)

Thank you very much! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it :)

Cheers Stephanie :) Hope you enjoyed it!

inflight Video I did thank you

Unfortunately I had to use RU-vid's automated face blurrer as the airline raised concerns over the fact that (surprise surprise) you see people when you walk through an airport and it was a necessary concession. I'm sorry if it detracts from the video but hope you still enjoyed it.

Engine check

It was an engine check as Mart says - they do a daily check on the engines :)

Oh ok

Did he get in trouble with Aurigny? I assume so as his video of this was taken down by the First Officer himself

That's a shame as there's nothing affecting safety or privacy there. If anything i feel it's put Aurigny into good light and promoted them!

Show's professionalism in my eye.

oh, look. The blurring has been removed

Haha me too :)

He's probably a subscriber, pilots like planes.

The First Officer has a YT channel called "Pilot Tris". Matt Davis (P3D/XP Streamer)

I'm sorry I had to apply RU-vid blurring to the faces as the airline was concerned that (shock horror) when you walk through an airport you see people's faces, and threatened to have the video removed unless I did that. I'm sorry I know it detracts slightly from the video but it's better to remain on the right side of the airlines.

I understand
