Captain this is simply a fabulous video. Thoroughly enjoyed the chance to truly see inside the cockpit and all the various panels and displays and just exactly what all is involved in preparing for a flight.The many details involved in getting ready. The slow taxiing to the runway and that moment of takeoff was very exhilarating as it made me feel as if I was actually there on the plane soaring above the clouds. The attention to details and the seriousness of what you do and also the love you have for your job was so evident. Thank you for a window into the world of flying and taking us along on you're journeys. Keep up the great work.
Hi Captain, nothing like hearing those big old Pratt's roaring into life and then experiencing the take off with you guy's. Thanks for sharing and happy landings;-))
Once again I thank you for a view into your world. What wonderful professionalism and expertise. You should honestly speak at universities around the world that offer pilot programs. You are such an inspiration.❤️
Great camera work. Focus on instruments with intermittant shots out the windows. Belgium looked so beautiful on take off. The clouds toward the end were breath taking. Thank you so much for sharing this.
always love seeing the start sequence for this plane, i love how calm you are in your flying, you make it look very effortless in your movements. You're one of my favourite my friend. Hope you keep safe & healthy. Greetings from the Caribbean 🏝🏝🇹🇹
Beautiful taxi and take off Captain and Pilot well done thank you so much for the beautiful video beautiful plane to fly i loved the jets and the airbuses
FANTASTIC camera work in this video. The cameraman nailed everything of interest with focus on the instruments and then some view outside. Just brilliant stuff, best of youtube. I was also surprised how long the plane was flown by hand, no AP engage!
Nice hand flying by the F/O very cool departure. Thank you for posting Captain. I do miss the start up checklist with the 200 and flight engineer calling out the N1 percentages to Max motoring, then 50%, it's a much more relaxed start on the 400. Cheers.
Good morning My Crew. What a beautiful morning for a flight from Paris. During taxi, when you said E1, that speed is exhilarating. It was as if I too was in the cockpit. Good liftoff. Have a Wonderful and Safe flight.
Beautiful taxi Beautiful takeoff Beautiful ascent Beautiful Captain Beautiful video Love getting to see the taxi and the feeling of takeoff. Splendid job by your First Officer and yourself. Made me feel like I was high in the sky among the white clouds looking down on the beautiful Belgium countryside. מחייך&💖2 קפטן בואינג מקווה שאתה טוב הקברניט המתוק שלי. זה ישמח אותי
I found a cool app (Plane Finder) where I can find a particular plane and follow it on its flight path in real time. I found a CAL Cargo plane, JFK to LGG, and followed it from taxi out to the runway, takeoff and all the way out over the Atlantic. The app shows altitude, speed, and course. Totally fascinating. I am also astounded by the number of airplanes in the sky at the same time.
hello Captain..this surely was fun to watch....Its amazing how many levers, and buttons and screens and knobs it takes to operate this awesome aircraft...you guys are the best...wonderful taxi and takeoff gentlemen....which airport did you fly out of....as I am watching this take off, it is still Friday night where I am...around 9:30 pm....Las Vegas time....What a thrill it would be to see your team land in Vegas....Stay safe Captains.....thank you sharing.
@@robertholland5771 It's the draw rate mismatch that occurs between the symbol generator on the CRT and the frame rate of the video camera. Sometimes it matches giving a clear picture of the CRT's and sometimes it doesn't giving the effect you dislike.
How much fuel would you save if you just ran the APU and they used an electric tug to take you from pushback to take off threshold? Just before reaching you’d start engines and idle.
You need a bit more time to warm up all 4 engines so it would be negligible. On long queuing to the holding point it's not uncommon for the crew to shutdown engines after they've already warmed up to conserve fuel.
Juan Finkelstein normal behaviour for steam gauges. They tend to do that and often they show a few hundred feet off at high altitude. totally fine and expected
Probably a silly question... I'm a retired US Navy Marine Gas Turbine tech, LM2500's... say you're on a Long flight and going with the jet stream, or really strong wind from aft. Obviously you'll go alot faster! Do yall ever put 2 engines at lower rpms, or even stop them, to save fuel?
The displays do actually flicker in real life but your eyes don't see it due to your eyes 'persistence of vision'. Just like a fluorescent light tube flickers when viewed on a slow motion video at a rate of your mains power frequency (50 - 60 hz) you're eyes don't notice it due to the eyes aforementioned effect.
Because the screens are CRT (cathode ray tube) most of the 747 fleet did not come out with LCD screens until after 2002-2003. Most of these planes are old workhorses completely reworked at regular intervals but still using tried and true 1980s-2000 tech. The flickering you are seeing is the refresh rates matching the camera refresh rates, much like flickering with fluorescent lighting.
Very interesting videos. I know you have to make something from all your hard work. But to have lots of Ads in a short video can be very irritating. It is a pity about the Neflix Ads. + 12:18 Ad, 16:54 Ad, and so on. 5 + Ads, for 17:26 min worth of a video. Does Netflix not understand that I have now seen their Ads multiple times. I tried e-mailing them. They don't have one. You have to sign up for on a subscription.
I've watched a few of these now and it seems like more often than not the person in the number 2 seat handles take-offs and landings. Is this SOP, or is this to give the co-pilot as much experience as possible so that they can graduate to captain as quickly as possible?
Unfortunately you cant start all 4 engines at once because you have a limited amount of duct air pressure feeding the engine to start it up. You get more when a ground power unit (GPU) supplies the airpressure to spin the blades at start and a bit less from the APU in the tail. Monitoring the duct pressure is important when starting each engine.
Analogue instrumentation like that altimeter can be a bit jerky sometimes and pilots are aware of this. It's mainly because of friction inside the device.
The middle position is the OFF position and reduces the wear and tear on the hydraulics of the landing gear in the OFF position inseat of leaving it in the UP position.
There is an important note My assistant captain caught my foot on the control panel Line here and tell him and his ilk the defect of this behavior, you are in the cabin of flying a plane and I am not in a café
@@abrahamsalamah5773 It's really difficult to hand fly a large aircraft at altitude which is why the autopilot does a better job at it than a human. Airline 'bean counters' also want the aircraft flown on auto for economy reasons too.
