Heart of Heathrow: Airbus Turnaround 

"You spend a lot of time turning around aircrafts, and I am going to be helping you with that." What he should have said: "I'll just follow you around with my mic."

That almost awkward handshake though xD

Lool he looked quite annoyed with the mic guy.

I'm surprised to see the turnaround manager doing the chocks and the airbridge.

Keith is the man. I'll see him around T5 hopefully and grab a coffee with him

0:16 Yes he is literally giving a hand

Is this part of a series? I like the program as long as it's kept serious avoiding the tendency to over talk as if viewers are sitting in a 1st grade class. I've always wanted to visit Heathrow tower, the action is fast and furious with just two runways nothing else like it in the world. I've been in the Boston Logan tower, as well as Denver, Phoenix and LA, Heathrow is the King however.

Nice video 👍

0:13 A domestic flight that comes in from Brussels (Belgium) and goes out to Geneva (Switzerland)

Excellent video at super duper hit channel.......👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Good job. Subscribed

I flew this exact plane DUB-LHR March 7, 2015!!!!

DHL does carering? Neat

I really don't like the idea of that "turnaround timer" clock they have here. This is such a safety critical role, not only for the guy in the video but for all of the ground services and ultimately the safety of the aircraft. Adding pressure to staff with a timer is extremely poor safety management and undoubtedly will lead to more accidents - a common cause of accidents is pressure and stress. This is not an office / call center job that timer really needs to be put in the bin or sent to British Gas's call center.

A- three, one, nine Rudolph?

There is no reverse gear on an aircraft but there is reverse thrust but the aircraft cannot reverse with that although some aircraft such as the Bombardier Dash 8q-400 can

This was pretty cool!

Planes don’t have any drive gears, but they do have reverse thrusters that can be used to back up the plane…

6:06 I can't quite understand what the guy says at the end... anyone please?

If you have ever thought or are thinking about doing this job (aircraft cleaning) don’t for your own good it’s the worst job I have ever done high stress, long hours and extremely hard work and sometimes you have very little time to clean the plane it doesn’t matter how dirty the plane is you have to work faster and harder

Not helping the Turnaround guy with his job but you are making him delay the flight😢

At 4:35 it is said that there is no reverse gear on the aircraft. That it is not completely true. All modern passengers aircrafts have reverse thrust which allows the aircraft to go backwards without any external help. Reverse thrust is mostly used during landing for reducing the wear of brakes and the landing length. Very useful with small runways. Reverse thrust produces a powerful stream of air which can do damage. So it is avoiding near the buildings of the airport. RU-vid has many interesting videos reverse thrust of jet engines.

like a boss

Passing figures after push? Is that normal for BA? :/

You know jets do have thrust reversers

I dint realise they fuel the plane on the same side as the jet bridge, I thought it was the other way round

ARMYs Keep it moving!

I have been on a British airways a380-800, 747-400, 777-300er, a319, a321, and 787-9

40 minutes??

Heathrow notice to day

I miss the good old turnaround days...... hope covid-19 ends soon!

turnaround managers name lol

This my job in cyprus

No specials ?

That is actually incorrect 4:39 that is incorrect there is reverse thrust but the power from it would shatter the glass so they are unable to use it while they are facing the terminal

Host:there’s no reverse gear Me:Obviously they can use reverse thrust

4:36 oh you are so wrong. Do you know what a reverser is? planes do have reverse heard but it would take longer to start all engines and clear everthing so the engines don't suck anything. But planes can reverse on their own, it's just not allowed

Show a real turn not just a dispatchers side go down into the small hold and offload then reload all the bags and chalk and cone all in that time. 40 mins is a gift for 100 passengers but when you have 25 mins to do a full flight, loading it not just dispatching then its harder.

“There is no reverse gear on an aircraft of course” That is a load of crap, if an airliner or cargo aircraft misses its turnoff point if they are to go at the end of the runway like the recent Thomson 757 at Skiathos, they use reverse thrust to toggle back to get back in place. That’s what we call reverse gear on an aircraft.

Why does it have a red nose

Driving under a wing 😬😣

the plane is capable of pushing itself back , but they don't prefer to use it !

haha no scots

hmmm, British propaganda!!!!
