PIA Boeing 747 Takeoff from Lahore Airport 

As flight engineer, part of his job is to fine tune the power settings as was done when he reduced power during climb out, a routine on every flight. The captain does the initial push to start the flight. The FE is making sure the throttle is set to the exact takeoff power settings calculated in pre-flight briefing. The captain needs his eyes outside most of the time on takeoff as much as possible. Division of responsibility is well defined on the flight deck.

According to the accident report of the aircraft involving Captain Parvez Iqbal Chaudhry, the fatal crash was his fault as he failed to keep situational awareness and emotionally incapacitated his co-pilot by berating him. Co-pilot's, who was an ex-PAF officer, military mindset stopped him from questioning Captain Parvez Iqbal Chaudhry's bad decisions.

And now this aircraft ( Alpha Foxtrot Victor) is the ASF converted restaurant in Karachi.....

The probable cause of the A 320 at ISL was that the captain was suffering from hypoglycemia , bought on by fasting and flying. He had planned to pray throughout the night and fast the next day, for which he had taken leave. He was picked up as a standby and, by the time he reached ISL he probably was losing situation awareness. He asked for a right hand circuit for a bad weather circuit which was forbidden . He could never have kept the runway in sight from his left seat. He was given a left hand circuit after breaking off the ILS approach . To do that he had to make a 45 degree turn to the right and after 30 seconds turn left parallel to runway 12. He made the first turn to the right but continued on that heading towards the Margalla Hills. He did not respond to warnings from ATC , his copilot, or the aircraft ground proximity warnings. His personal and illegal religious interpretations killed all on board. I had , when being Chief Pilot Safety in the 1990s, banned fasting and flying in PIA. Later the CAA banned it too. So that made it a legal requirement. Islam excuses a person from fasting while on a journey and allows it to be made up at a later date. Sadly this was repeated at Karachi by another A 320 on the last day of Ramadan. Anything to do with religion is hushed up but I managed to get warnings issued to PIA pilots through the management (I was now retired) so there has not been an accident since then. If anyone wants to praise a pilot who is so irresponsible, think of all the bereaved families whose misery was brought on them under his command. An airline pilot, when he/she sits in the cockpit to do the job should forget family troubles, management troubles and religious convictions. There is only ONE sacred duty: to fly your aircraft, passengers, and crew as safely and expeditiously to their destination as possible. NOTHING else matters.

Google ; I am presently loading cargo on the PIA B777 at Heathrow. I really enjoy it and I normally nominate myself through my allocation team to load this aircraft. I have also on two occasions loaded cargo on the PIA B747 AP-BGG and was a very outstanding experience. We had a little setback on push back were aircraft engine was refusing to spin due to fuel pump which was corrected by the pilots and flight engineer.

Rest in peace Captain Parvez Iqbal Choudary. You was a great and experienced pilot. Accidents happen but it was unfortunate that you had to go. Your expert flying still lives on today. You are a role model to us youth to be like you. I want to be a Captian like you. One day. Rest in peace.

There are no words to explain about P.i.a is the best airline, and all its crew. May Allah keep them safe always. From Mexico city

I think i remember Capt.Parvaiz flying from when i was a kid. I went to visit the flight deck and he showed me around...will never forget the beard, and how remarkably friendly he was....A shame to hear he passed away

& sunnah is to follow the path of our Prophet MUHAMMAD P.B.U.H

Junaid, nothing wrong with PIA my friend, flown many times with them, would do for many other airlines to look at PIA and learn lessons, keep the flag flying PIA,

That looks like an original 747 cockpit from 1970.

Ameen,, In fact he hit Margalla Hills and saved Rawalpindi/Islamabad,,One taliban was in that flight who ordered this great pilot to hit giant oil reservoirs of Morgah, but he preferred to hit Margalla Hills. May Allah accept their sacrifice.

I like the way the late Capt Pervaiz says: Bismillahir Rahman er Rahim. at '07:17. I do the same just before jamming the thrust lever for takeoff roll. :) He was a great Captain. Rest in Peace! Aameen

Hot and heavy operation - The Old RWY 18R. Used the whole of the runway wow!

could u get more of there just luv pakistan airlines

This video was recorded somewhere in the mid 90s. You can clearly see the new airport under construction on the left side.

So you are also a pilot? If yes then tell me please what have you flown?

The name of Captain is Pervaiz Iqbal Chaudhry, he was the captain of that ill-fated Airblue flight which crashed into Margalla Hills in 2010...... May Allah rest his soul in peace

Man that plane is a antique its a wonder it doesn't fall apart i cant that one is still flying if you want to see a modern one go here ( Cockpit - Boeing 747-400 Takeoff from Hong Kong )

Didnt the plane take off very late? Edge of the runway is seen clearly. There was no chance of cancelled takeoff if the need be

Left side pilot is Captain Pervez Iqbal Chuhdry who was died along with 155 passengers in 2010 in Airblue flight Ed 202 crash in Margala hills Islamabad...RIP great captain

Most aviation accidents are caused by human error. He failed to follow procedures. Read Pak Tribune article about the crash.

Best Plane of his time

I also like that. I used to travel with PIA and I really like the way they include Islamic values in any ways possible. Do u know him personally?

I knew the Flight Officer Muntajib ( Squadron Leader , Pakistan Air Force ) ...... he was co-pilot with Capt. Pervez Iqbal Chaudhry on his last flight ......... a very fine gentleman ...... played cricket very well ........... would have been test cricketer , if not a pilot ...... Rest in peace , my brother

Awesome Video! Why was the flight engineer also pushing the throttle when the captain intially pushed them forward on take off? And why did the FE adjust them in flight?

umm... they do their job just like Lufthansa pilots do theirs. they do their job just like Delta pilots do theirs... so that isnt anymore amazing than other pilots working for other airlines... whats amazes me is their EXTREMELY smooth landings.. every time PIA pilots land a plane it is incredibly smooth!!!

Yes, he was at the controls of A320 of Airblue that crashed into Margalla hills

A Great Captain in a great Aircraft performing a great TAKEOFF.ALLAH bless his soul and grants him jannah.

I think the chief flight engineer in 2001 for PIA was Mr matin ghani I think he is now retired. A fine gentlemen.

@hearts76100 This man died in the AirBlue crash in Pakistan - he was the captain.

I am very hurt that you have told me capt chaudtry how is the PIC of the 743 AP-BFV in this video has passed way . and he was the commander of the air blue A321 which has come to me as a shock why because I have cont watched video on,/off. Please recite sura fatia for him ameen. And I hope for sake of the 14 masoomeen he is in peace in the life barsak.

@1860george Thanks for the info George...Do you know why they do it? I mean are they afraid they migt get stuck or back?

Captain Pervaiz IQBAL CHOUDHRY , the Capt who died in Air Blue crash

not really. you see, landing depends on the wind conditions, i've seen many landings done by PIA 777-200LR in toronto and they're just the same as others. There is no good or bad landing as long as you land without damaging the aircraft. btw i flew with PIA many times.

Great video, many thanks

Do they use DME in pakistan or something else?

RIP mamu pervez..he was a great human and great pilot

What a great video. Heavy take off on the classic 747. I cannot believe this experienced captain made such an error with the Air Blue A321 crash! Thank you for sharing the video.

p captain pervaze gonna miss u sir i have flown on a lot of planes under your captaincy only that i am 13 RIP

Isn't he the same captain who crashed on margalla hills?

miss you chaudry sb

ameen

Its sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. You get a deed for having beard because Prophet MUHAMMAD had beard....

@darrenliewweiyao There is a Fuel Flow gauge on the flight engineer panel also so I guess it's OK.

Was he the captain of the plane which crash in Islamabad in 2010?

How do you know? If you not sure about anything then please do not make sensational stories. There were many loved ones on that plane.

Me gusta esta aerolinia por que Antes de ir rezan A omenaje a ALLAH esta muy bien para los musulmánes y para el ISLAM

wow, very late take off :)

Yeah he passed away in a crash in islamabad of Airblue airlines on 28th of july 2010

The fact these piolets can fly without a licence is amazing!

very nice uk

very good flay

Has that he passed away, the pilot?

Only concern log book donot depend upon memory .

The beard reminds me of Capt. Qadri; he of the famous Qadri-Cruise flight that he would follow to save fuel -- or so the story goes.

@MrAteeqmirza there is nothing wrong with old pilots. Experince is the thing that counts not pilots :)

amazing......these guys made it through training. No wonder they make the flight crews go through security. Do they get in trouble if they commit a terrorist act on their own plane?

@1860george Many thanks for the info dude!

Oh i see, thanks for explaining

I am sorry, there are no such rules. Before leaving the Operations, they both decide who will do the In-Bound and who will do the Out Bound. Generally new pilots are given Take-Offs and slowly they start doing Landings. Please show some respect towards the deceased Captain !!!!!

How do I adjust the tracking on my phone?

Is it normaly to allow the plane to fly with its number 4 engine fuel flow U/S? BTW Pervez Iqbal Chaudhry was involved in the Controlled Flight Into Terrain in 2010. RIP!

@dabbapeer what are you talking about lol?? commercial pilots get paid in the 100,000 range on an average per year. Thts ALOT. and it usually raises higher fast by time. Senior pilots make around 200,000 per year. Plus benefits of free family flights anywhere in the world etc. commercial pilot is one of the most well paid jobs in the world

Who left Jammat-e-Islami Mullah on the flight deck????

wao

So it was this same arrogant pilot captain which caused airblu 202 crash and killed 200 ppl?

This plane is now parked at ASF Shuhada Park Karachi

Yes.

Yeh if course deer gut 111 USA pilots are the best at erring hijacked:D

International rules r that co pilot should fly the plane and caption should observe...here baba g is flying the plane his self ......???????

R.I.P Captain

@MrAteeqmirza there is no such rule.

it would be cool to see it land too

fuckin hell to be honest I'd be scared to death if I was there, I mean at 08:26 imagine looking at the window outside in real lfe :/ I'd be scared...

Why we cover everything under on blanket of investigation. Do you know what the Cockpit recording mean. What ever happened in cockpit is good example of stubbornes on his part, he got proud and killed so many inncocent life. You dont have to do investigation to understand the simple recording.

Late Capt Pervaiz Iqbal was magnificent human and was so kind . We will always remember you . Its sad to know that the fatal Air blue crash is blamed on him . He was skillful pilot .

The 1 officer is just singing the papers he is not flying the plane

DID YOU SEE THAT GRAND PA ALMOST OVERSHOT THE RUNWAY AND WENT INTO THE DITCH AND KILLED EVERY ONE ON BOARD

What a great memories with Sir Pervez ! May Allah bless his soul in jannah ! Ameen ! As a saw the older comments under this video ! This is the problem with $ucking idiots who have no idea about pilot's integrity an start blaming him ! OF COURSE HE IS DEAD AND CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF ! so say the $uck u want to say about him ! But He died as hero trying to save everyone on board ! every action he did till the crash was to sav the passenger and of course himself !

Handsome man, why didnt he shave himself?

one year ago he died :(

@MrAteeqmirza Stop making up your own rules. There is no truth in what your are saying. It is captain's prerogative who does what in the cockpit.

took to the end of runway, what a nutcase,,,

@lionheart4214 That's a nice idea, now would you like to provide evidence of your magic Gods existence?

Ok now

PIA stop using old aircrafts / pilots....

He is Murderer.....
