Nice to see young professional pilots comfortable with just trusting their instruments through this ILS approach. No small talk on the landing phase either. Very nice.
@@TheGekko64 yes. I’m totally aware of this SOP. Not like watching cowboys on the flight decks of the 60s and 70s discussing how the new stewardess’s legs look or other jokes aside whilst preparing for takeoff. Lol
@@stuntmanstu1 .Maybe..But the vast majority were trained in the military..The left seat did not look like this captain”maybe 40ish”, and Was it not Lion air that crashed the 737- max?? Naww..I will take the old guys any day!!!
Nice to see pilots landing an airplane, yes. Thats why i fly with pilots. (btw.... Autopilot disconnect at visual runway in sight) daily Business for every pilot.
Its an Easy Job if everything is Same like every Day, the Same Routes, the Same Airport Charts, the Same Departures/Arrivals.... but its the Hardest Job if something is not liek Everyday
If you get the required training, and have the aptitude, where you can become a commercial pilot, then congratulations, but it still doesn't make you a cut above others, but your ego can fool you into thinking you are. I have a close relative that's an airline pilot. I questioned him about what it is like. He said, you can just sit there in the cockpit for hours on end, monitoring the instruments, while the aircraft, just pretty much flies itself, the sun bakes on you, you're in an artificial environment, while you're at cruise altitude, plus if you fly for any significant distance, jet lag is going to catch up to you. Everything is charted, pre planned, and you have to follow ATC instructions pretty much to a T. While it can be challenging, and it's a skill that takes years of training to aquire, it's a job that's not all cracked up as it appears. For these pilots, there's alot of routine when flying. There are many rewards that come with this job too, so probably for a person who loves aviation, it'll be worth it in the end. One thing I noticed, if you fly for a significant amount of time, you can end up looking like a withered up old man/woman. It's really the public perception of it being somehow glamorous, and full of prestige, but if you like to fly, then I wouldn't try to discourage anyone to become a commercial pilot. I believe the best route is to go military if a person can, because it's one of the best sources of training you can get, and the cost of your training won't come out of your pocket, but it's more difficult to go this route.
Flying through rain and clouds with lightning going off around you is incredible. The pilot is making constant adjustments on his yoke as he touches down in what looks like a runway flooded with water. Bravo
@@williampliss9879 Kind of yes. The control surfaces react more slowly to slower airflow. They wouldn't apply yoke inputs like that at high speed. Just like you wouldn't suddenly turn your steering wheel excessively at high speed.
The respect I have for the skill and professionalism of the pilots, especially in challenging conditions like this, is just endless. Good job lads, good job!
We as passengers just go on any online airline retailer, buy tickets, go where we’re going to go, do what we gotta do and then go home. We never think about the years of experience it takes to be able to land these big birds safely on a beautiful day. Let alone a poopy day like that! Much, much respect for this crew! Great footage!!
I think the CRM could be better. I don't know their SOP but the captain just manipulating the MCP without announcing it every time seems strange. Same for the altimeter.
Agree , I liked how they called out visibility at 500 metres. Or I think they did. I'm guessing that tells other planes landing what to expect with the weather .
Aku yang panikan dan selalu ketakutan di pesawat jadi lebih tenang sih nonton video ini. Karena melihat pilot dan co pilot yg tenang dan memang handal walau badai bahkan ada petir. Terima kasih videonya sangat membantu
Just to clarify, the autopilot was flying the aircraft right up until @9:49. After this, the landing was completed manually. The captain was holding the yoke in case there was any weather issue which would cause the AutoP to disconnect. This is a supreme landing, especially as it appears that this landing was 'barely legal', When minimums is called out at the time I linked, if the airport isn't visible, landing is not permitted, whether on a manual or autoland. Adding to the fact that the runway lighting didn't seem to have centreline lights or advanced runway lighting, I'm really impressed by the CRM, sterile cockpit and of course, the safe landing!
I take my hat off to these superb pilots. Their responsibilities are huge. Basically they were approaching blind due to horrendous weather and to put their total trust into their instruments was very impressive. Thank you for uploading such a great video
Respect for all the pilots out there! I’m a boat Captain and zero visibility is always a pucker factor but I’m at least floating on the water doing 20 knots. Much different coming in from the air at 200 knots and trusting your electronics. Hopefully they got a cold one at the 1st airport bar they walked by after their shift was over.
They can drink and fly the next morning but cant take a stimulant medication, caffeine powder snorted is okay too. Great rules the FAA has come up with
@@ThePorkypete51fcourse can do even more than 20knts in an open water,(zero visibility) like in the Bering sea, but it's another story when approaching a Chinese port like Shanghai😔😁, I was a nautical officer...
This is why every time I deplane I ALWAYS thank the Captain & FO. Yes, I know modern technology has made it safer as the plane could technically land itself, but watching them take it at the last 400 ft and set it down is still quite impressive.
Planes can land itself only in calm winds conditions. Landing in slippery runway, thunderstorms around, extreme winds gusting can be done manually only. Autoland is hardly used as it reduces reaction time of the crew. Autoland has been there since 1990
Never fun going from VFR to IFR let alone into a thunderstorm not fun. These guys are all business and are what you want to see inside the cockpit. Nice job guys.
Pilots are paid for safely operating airplane. To come to the cockpit and go through a whole process to aim cameras and the fact that some of the chatter in the cockpit, DURING FLIGHT is to get CERTAIN things on tape , this is not professional PART 125 OPERATION. Pilots are paid to concern themselves with safety of flight, any TOYS or distractions brought into the cockpit will not survive a FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION Inspection and many companies BAN this type of activity during flight. Why do you think AMERICAN AIRLIES or DELTA AIRLNES DO NOT allow pilots to stick cameras in the cockpit [ although some nut- heads at those airlines make tapes and stick them on the internet, at the last day of their flying careers, to prevent being FIRED.
Such an amazing pilot and co-pilot, love that you have a sterile cockpit and professionalism is maintained. Thank you for your amazing work and piloting skills.
The skill and bravery of pilot professionals everywhere around the world always amazes me!! Thank you to these highly skilled people to safely bring us to our destinations!! 🙏👏🙏👏
This is the Captain and FO you HOPE to see after landing so you can THANK THEM properly for getting you to your destination safely. Well done !! They certainly deserve some respect and appreciation for what they do.
I've seen some many vlogs of planes landing and taking Tru pilot's eye...but i ve never seen this view format...a fisheye lens on the entire cockpit and the pilot...its beautiful ........luv it...this pilot did a amazing job ...barely could c the runaway...
@@nickpapagiorgio5056 I just watched 30 seconds of it. I guess in Indonesia they would land in the heart of a thunderstorm. Explains their safety record
@@BirdDog. well there ya go you watched 30 seconds of it. If you listen during the landing sequence atc confirms the last pilot got a visual of the runway at 500 feet. Def crazy to fly in that weather Ik but especially in that climate flash flooding and thunderstorms happen regularly with very little warning.
@@nickpapagiorgio5056 I just watched it in full. I could see the marshal at the end. I’m surprised their SOP would allow that. Do you know what the ATIS was reporting at that moment?
That was amazing when the weather started changing I knew it was gonna get tense, props to the pilot and the copilot the experience, skill and balls to fly and land such a big machine in those weather, absolutely amazing
That amazing to watch.. to see the skills you both have in landing your plane in really so bad weather. many thanks guys for sharing , and happy you landed safely too,,
Great job guys! Concentration, staying one step ahead of the aircraft, ignoring the lightning and rain and focusing on remaining tasks such as reversing engines, using brakes, staying on the centerline. These guys did it all. Time for a raise.
Well done on the landing, communication was very frequent, lots to worry about but you made it just a routine, amazing!!!! I truly appreciate pilot skills as an engineer it is rewarding to see!
I'm not in aviation. In fact I hate to fly but watching this really gives me a new appreciation for pilots and what they really do. These guys were very calm and professional. They seem quite young too. Thanks for posting!
This is a example of a distracted cockpit. Pilots with 200 plus passengers aboard should not be making movies and live casting during flight. Several airlines do not allow this behavior and one day this activity will be a factor in an incident or accident. The US Federal Aviation Administration has guided that pilots are required to be concerned with safety at all times while on duty. If you think this crew is giving you their best, you are mistaken, and their full attention should be towards flight operational duties.
@@RU-vid.TOM.AThe NTSB wants video recorders in the cockpit... while the FAA and US airlines don't. The FAA's and airlines' reasoning touches on privacy, costs, and security... not on pilot distraction. Given that the FAA/Industry relationship continues to be a revolving door that sends airline and aircraft manufacturer employees into the ranks of the FAA, it's no surprise that the FAA sides with airlines in matters of safety and coddles them. Re pilot distraction, more than a few airline disasters have been caused by the cockpit crew having been engaged in chit-chat totally unrelated to their duties. Not only would cockpit cameras serve to squelch that, it could also (per NTSB's desire) provide valuable post-crash/incident information that could not be gleaned from the black box flight recorder. And the Lion airline crew sure didn't behave as if they were distracted.
@@hlcepeda I think we have got completely off topic. The purpose of these cameras in entertainment and contributions to social media. These cameras are also non required [ authorized ] equipment added to the cockpit without a clear safety benefit. Your views are unscientific and sophomoric. Access to cockpit voice recordings are limited and restricted to a safety of flight, needs criteria. What will be next skypeing from the cockpit or pod casting from 35000 feet. The industry can lose a lot of jobs if you guys keep screwing around in the cockpit while carrying passengers and I really don' t have to walk into the justification rabbit hole to know this is bad policy.
Very nice and smooth landing! I always love it when pilots take their passengers down safe and sound. No matter what the circumstances are. Hats off to all the Pilots!
Around 1988 I was flying into London Heathrow, and utterly horrible morning, windy and rain outside, descending and the plane up and down, could see the runway below and then suddenly the plane violently 'wobbled' and the pilot applied thrust and off we went again up into the sky! We had to go around again in the wind and rain. I swear there was people crying! Came around, lined up and this time we landed, and the cabin clapped for the pilot!
Top class professionals A + ice cool with this ILS landing ,. Thunder, lightening and massive rain. Glide slope perfect precision onto runway, noticed the even red and white on the PAPI lights on left at threshold , auto pilot disingaged right at the last minute at the 400ft minimums amazing team work guys real flying in treacherous conditions.
Good IVR piloot and co piloot. And checking the autopiloot instruments always. And always check! Weather and info instruments with your own eyes. Respect, good job.
Dark, Raining Cats & Dogs, Lightning, Heavy Clouds, Flying blind until 700 ft? Trusting your computers? WOW !!!! This takes lots of experience. Give them a bonus for this flight !
6star flight deck. You both obviously flew together many times. Impressive and tetxbook landing. True test of conditions without a go around. Godspeed and may the clouds be with you both.🙏
All about the money and trying to pay less pilots . They'd be flying pilotless planes in 5 years if it was up to them. Luckily most passengers aren't close to being comfortable with that. Maybe in another 20 years.
why? The wind was calm.. visibility was very low.. but u cant just that from a crappy go pro.. there was nothing wrong with the approach.. the runway lights were very good elimunated.. no reason to deviate..
I wish more people _wouldn't_ drive their car when it's raining; when they're that fucking terrible at, it's far less safe than landing a plane in the rain.
Nice job. I am assuming flying in Asia somewhere. I was stationed there and flew all over from Korea to Thailand to Australia. Asia airline pilots are some of the best bad-flying weather pilots in the world. My hat's off to them.
