This video, presented by Purser Celeste Evans, was filmed onboard N203PA "Clipper New York" a A-300B4-203. The aircraft served Pan Am between 1984 and 1991.
Special thanks to Linda Reynolds for saving a collection of safety and training VHS tapes from the Pan Am Training Academy in Miami, Florida after the airline closed on December 4, 1991.

Please keep the great vids coming if ya have more of these gems up your sleeve! Thanks again..

Always an interesting tour back in time! This airplane, N203PA, is special to me; in 1986, it would be my very last flight with Pan Am. If my memory is correct, brushed aluminum Pan Am meatball logos were installed on the dark blue (carpeted) areas of the bulkheads.

@AviationCommercials 2 года назад

So I assume this was a newly delivered aircraft, yet Celeste mentioned they would be modifying future aircraft with remove of the first class bulkhead and G2 galley - What's the story here? Pan Am changed their mind after the first deliveries? Interesting.

@Shrimpo7 4 месяца назад

The first A300s for Pan Am were originally destined for (if I remember correctly) Libyan Arab Airlines that were NTU (not taken up) due to an economic embargo on the government of Libya. This was a good move to take delivery of airplanes that had been stored for some time. I was told that it was beneficial to both Airbus and to Pan Am. The galleys, seat sets and other equipment were not Pan Am standards. We referred to these aircraft as the “atlas” equipped aircraft. These were, in fact brand new. Some elements that were not standard stand out in the video, such as the brown seat back tray tables in cabin class, and the brown slide bustles at each door. Eventually, the galleys, tray tables and slide bustle covers were replaced, however, we kept the salmon (pink-ish) and light blue seat covers for several years. It was in the last years that we standardized the seat covers to the navy blue fabric.

@CLR2TKF 2 года назад

Was the A300 used for domestic and S America? I don't think the early ones had trans-Atlantic range.

@atomsmash100 2 года назад

Domestic, Caribbean, short-haul Latin America. They didn't have the range for transatlantic.

@Colaholiker 2 года назад

ETOPS was not a thing yet, so transatlantic services were only possible with 3 or 4 engines. The 310 was the first Airbus that got transatlantic service certification.

The 300 was not a longhaul plane, despite being wide body. The typical flights didn't require the fitting of crew rests. The maximum range was comparable to an A320 nowadays, and they don't have crew rests either- ;-)

@buddyrevell6369 2 года назад

Is the engine noise really necessary in a training video?

@Colaholiker 2 года назад

That's not engine noise. That is a combination of ventilation (which you want to have running because you can't simply open a window) and the 400 Hz hum of the electrical system, which was very common on older aircraft types. The main engines were certainly not running, and most likely not even the APU (ground power and AC connected). I absolutely love that background noise, brings back so many memories...

@buddyrevell6369 2 года назад

@@Colaholiker my assumption is this was filmed on a trainer set. Not an actual aircraft.

@Colaholiker 2 года назад

@@buddyrevell6369 The background noise is pretty realistic though. I have been inside cabin trainers, and since they lacked air conditioning and the 400 Hz electrical system, the noise was different.

Yes. We were warned that the training phase of the job would be emotionally taxing. Keep in mind that our guests experience these same annoyances!
