Pilot's Eye - Inside the Cockpit of an Airbus A380 | FD Engineering 

I cant believe I watch the entire 2hours documentary of an unimaginable journey of a highly respected pilot in aviation. What an inspiration for me to be "live a dream".

I was 15 when this video came out from PilotEyes. Still have the Bluray at parents house ! Even in 2024, it's still one the best cockpit video ever made

Captain Juergen made me crying also he's really humble Captain i have never seen in my life

After all these years I've watched a lot of flight videos, being a light pilot myself, can't believe I missed that one. It was probably the best I have ever seen and the first one that made me cry. What an incredible moment. Live your dreams! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant best aviation documentary I've seen, happy retirement captain

Probably the kindest face, demeanor, and heartfelt smile of any professional I've ever seen!

Raps and Jacobus are two absolute LH legends. Flown with them many times. Both retired now

What an amazing crew. Specially the captain!

Finally found complete version of the Lufthansa a380 series🎉😍

Greetings from Norway. This was just FAB! Ohhh, the climb out and right turn at that FL passing Golden Gates was spectacular. Loved every minute. Thank you all and enjoy your retirement, Captain Raps.

Phenomenal video footage!! LH is #1 with aerial videos as well as onboard service! My grandmother flew on LH from Frankfurt to JFK in 1963 and I was just a child of 7 years old when we saw her land at JFK to come to live with us in New York, Queens Long Island. I regret I missed my calling to become an airline pilot.

Absolutely perfect! Well done Captain 🫡

Thank you for sharing. Hope there's more Pilotseye tv films coming.

If Captain Raps is watching this, I hope you're enjoying your retirement and your Arizona white asparagus!

I stumbled upon this video, despite watching the return flight, San Francisco to Frankfurt, many times. As a kid, I always wanted to be an airline pilot but did not have 20/20 vision that I was told back then was necessary. I believe the requirements these days are not as stringent. I then spent 34 years as a meteorologist, so enjoyed being a part of the extended aviation community. Enjoyed every second of it until retiring in 2019. I’ve since, at the ripe old age of 59, started my private pilot licence training. Through the years, life got in the way of doing this earlier, despite the encouragement of my wife. Tough getting through that picture section of this video without almost shedding a tear or two. That quote “Live your dream and don’t dream your life” really struck a chord. Congratulations Captain Raps. A job/career well done. Happy retirement.

As a kid i used to watch pilotseye on a local tv on the late nights. Now i am a pilot leaving the dream of flight.

Beeindruckende Reportage einer beeindruckenden Flieger-Karriere - many happy landings going forward

Tolles Video, wie es das tollste Passagierflugzeug der Neuzeit in vielen Facetten beleuchtet und einen super Piloten. ! Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis .

I were looking so long for the hole video! Tanks so much!

Captain, you are an inspiration to those of us who would love to be a pilot. I admire and appreciate all you do. I thank you for allowing us to get a glimpse of your life and dream! I salute you sir!

Without doubt, the best aviation vlog I've seen. Onwards and upwards Captain Raps and your team

Eine ungewöhnliche und begeisternde Reportage. Vielen Dank. Ich finde, sie hat auch 13 Jahre später nichts an Faszination verloren.

Probably - the best aviation video I have ever watched ! As an English PPL holder - I was entranced with the whole production. In hope Capt Raps is enjoying his well deserved retirement !

Long and happy retirement Captain!

Well done guys... an aviator's masterpiece. It's like being there.

Excellent view, excellent flight information and excellent job for all the officers team on board. Keep going, bravo...

interesting LH 340 from the cockpit - A trip wih Honours Captain Jurgen. I have flown many routes in the passenger seat and never ever got this experience from 1976 to 2018-a span of 42 years ! Worst was LHR-Moscow-Tyo in 1981 -16 hrs under the tail engine seat of a Tupolov was it ? Ive flown Air India Cathay Swissair Pan Am Korean Japan Airlines Thai Malaysian Singapore British Gulfair Kuwait air Saudi OmanAir Qatar Iberia KLM Jet Blue Air Canada and many more apart from domestic or connecting flights ! BUT except for turbulence I enjoyed the flights BUT this was a birds eye view in the cockpit of a 747 .That beats everything ! I am 71 and retired.Congrata guys ! & Petter Hornfeldt who has an interesting angle on air accidents and their causes ! Lucky that we had safe flights!

Excellent video, thank you very much. It brought back the memory of being on the jump seat of a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 744 going into San Fran around 1998.

It still amazes me how this thing gets off the ground and flies. Thats a lot of weight.

Great footage, a really big dream.. I hope one day will fly on this plane.

Jurgen simply love you, watch yours planes all the time love Sandra

Great set up. Congrats.

Счастливого полёта,мягкого посадки уважаемые летуны.

Eu assisti esse documentário quando eu tinha 18 anos de idade, hoje com 24 anos já estou estudando pra se torna piloto em alguns anos. Esse capitão foi uma expiração!

Being a pilot seems like such a dream job

I have to read the subtitles,I am not a pilot nor do I even have a 'love of aviation' outside of a '74 gear and 'Mentour Pilot' subscription yet I am watching this.. There is something about watching people who are really good at what they do.. Whether it is an airline pilot or a short order cook.

Miss Capt Raps videos and hope he is enjoying retirement. Greetings from Ireland and do visit here now that you have plenty of time!

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen wunderbaren Ruhestand. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns in der Luft beschützen.

Amazing Video. Thanks a lot !

Congratulations on your wonderful career. Enjoy your time on two wheels and golfing :)

Die A380 die Königen der Lüfte

Excellent 👌👍... That "hole in one" looks...edited.

Enjoyed watching this video.

The training involved to pilot that beast must be insane

This shows as we ourselves are pilots ❤

i love that vido so much also i love the airplane and avation fun

Raps is my hero, nice to see this full version here

Scher gut. Danke

this documentary helped me learn how good german humor is

Ganz einfach nur - ganz große Klasse! Vielen Dank.

Flew on one from Singapore to Frankfurt. Much fun.

GODSPEED CAPTAIN!!!

What a nice gentleman.

What a pleasant captains address to the cabin

Solche gestandenen Männer werden leider immer weniger ! Hut ab

Retired in Arizona with his Harley and white asparagus farm perhaps? Awesome video

That was unbelievable to watch i loved every minute it never seemed that long it flew by . Happy retirement Captain

Incredibly fascinating..and Awe inspiring!! We fly Lufthansa, exclusively: US and to India! We feel most secure with them!I hope that Captain is enjoying his Harley, playing Golf and that his White Asüaragus Farming, is a success!!!

Watching from 🇿🇼

Great video thankyou

Tension free journey for the pilots.

Beautiful video , thanks a lot ❤❤

1.29.30 je weet de Amerikanen verlangen een juiste 'Read back' zoals ook op de opleiding wordt geleerd.

Very impressive Movie thank you...

Congrats Sir!

il a raison , vivez la vie comme une rêve , ou un rêve comme la vie ! . .❤❤👍👍

I remember when it was more than OK to clap on an airplane! When we leveled out after Take Off and especially when we touched do we! Those were the days my friend! 🎉🎉🎉

Guten Abend, Frankfurt Flughafen,ist von mir Bad Homburg,nur 30 Kilometer entfernt. Wir fliegen regelmäßig USA Seattle,Las Vegas Nonstop.

What an airplane the 380.

This video is old. No sales force tower existing during the broadcast. Maybe more than 3 up to 5 yrs ago.

Yay I did this approach in an Airbus 320neo in Flight Simulator. lol

The cliff house is closed since years and a large number of shops around Union Square in downtown SF are not existing anymore.

gracias a mamá por cocinar y a papá por los gritos! ❤

Excellent. Interested in the change of language to and from English at certain points. E.g. the passenger intro was not in English, nor was the general chat on the flight deck. But then they move on to the check lists and then move to English. What is the protocol for this?

Beautiful ❤❤

Das gut

Very good video 👏👏👍..

amazing

When I was a Fueler @KSFO I would re-fuel this flight when LH was using 747-400

Un gran video😊

Why are there 2 captains on this flight? Is Capt. Jülich a training captain? Normally, Captains aren't allow to fly on the right hand seat because their instruction expires as soon as the get promoted as far as i know.

wunderbar !

Wann wird endlich das metrische System in der Luftfahrt eingeführt?

If my research is correct the senior first officer is the son and heir of one of the SAP co-founders. Very interesting...

Fabuleux 🤩

You can get a nice property in Arizona with a lot of land for a great price. People leave my hometown of Southern California by the thousands to live in Arizona. Just make sure you have an air conditioner for the summer!

Eindrucksvoll

प्रणाम।

Mit Hochachtung!

Wonder what the Wright Brothers would have though of this ship? Sipping champagne at 37,000 feet, 500-600 passengers, TV, sleepers, etc. I believe they couldn't conceive of such a machine.

Very cool.

Ich habe eine Frage, vielleicht weiß das jemand: Die ganze Route wurde gefilmt, warum aber nicht der Lowpass vom Cockpit aus????

agent smith really went out of his way to become a pilot

The first captain looks like Richard Gere 30:35

Didn’t think pilots were able to snap pictures after that crash years ago

This is the video.

as i know coud these box with the wings out row like B 747,why flying still?

Jackobus f/o too at the time.

they identify themselves to ATC as „super“ for proper separation due to turbulence

What happens, if you drop your soup into the controls? 😁
