Pilotseye.tv - Lufthansa Airbus A380 Departure and Take Off [English Subtitles] 

Just amazing, so calm and professional. Watching this makes me feel so safe onboard. These guys deserve each and every dollar they earn.

Everything feels so safe when I hear German. u guys are always doing things in the deepest possible detail.

Love the way they mix German and English, six hundred and fünf tons.

Amazed to see they use same protocol I use before leaving in my ford ranger.

love that captain and his co-pilot. especially when they see the other a380's spectacular touchdown and laugh together

You can tell this pilot is one of the best out there. Flying an A-380 is most likely reserved for the most accomplished. Pilots like him deserve every dollar they earn (and more).

_ What the plan for today? _We're heading for San Francisco. _Oh, that's new to me, good idea. _As usual, we decide after take-off!

Eine der besten Dokus ohne Fremde Kommentare, die ich je gesehen habe auf youtube. Kompliment an die Macher und Piloten. Sehr sympathisch der ganze Film. Alles drin, was man will und braucht, um informiert zu sein. Danke, super gemacht.

This is a premium take off video that's almost too good for this site considering how bad it's turned over the last 6 years

Captain Raps is the best, I just love his serious professionalism, mixed with loving what he does and having a great time doing it. Congratulations on a great career and happy retirement.

Mad respect to the pilots getting those beasts off the ground, cool and calm too.

Jürgen Raps was one of the best and most experienced pilots on this planet

That captian sounds like a fun guy to fly with.

german perfection at its finest, a pleasure to watch

the captain is so calm and professional, also like how he’s cracking jokes to improve the mood of his fellow crew members even more!

I love the way they get so excited watching the other plan, great job guys.

These guys are sooo Professional. I love Lufthansa!

It's amazing to see such a beautiful aircraft go through pre-flight checks and inspections before takeoff. The pilots obviously love their job w/ the 380.

I'm terrified of flying, but those men are so composed and confident, they both know exactly what they're doing and are having fun, without compromising their focus. This is what I would hope for every time I have to fly. Can't wait to fly with Lufthansa one day!

This is one of the best produced and most informative departure + take off videos I've seen. Excellent job. Very professional crew.

I have to agree - this is simply one FANTASTIC aviation/cockpit video. It is so interesting, so well made and so well edited, and shows loads of additional information that is interesting to a viewer that likes these things. I wholeheartedly admit that it is one of my all time favourite YT aviation videos. Thank you Sso much for making it so well, and for sharing it with us. And also big props for sharing the landing into SFO video - I loved it just as much. I've flown Lufthansa Business Class on 5 recent trips and would do it all again without hesitation.

Fantastic, this has got to be one of my favourite videos of youtube, You guys seem to have a lot of fun doing the best job in the world. The 380 is one of my favourite aircraft, and Lufthansa also my favourite, so big thumbs up and keep up the good work you do. Maybe i will be one of your passengers one day. Thank you so much for sharing.

The captain was as cool as a cucumber. Very impressed.

When I have trouble sleeping, I'd play one of the A380 videos with Capt. Juergen in cockpit. His and his crew's voices would lull me to sleep. What an great crew led by an amazing captain! Imagine flying with such a calm and experienced pilot and crew; I'd probably sleep as soundly as I'd be in my bed.

Imagine having such a responsible job and yet being so confident and relaxed. That’s experience right there.

Thank you for posting this video! I enjoyed this quite a bit, although when they mentioned turbulence ahead my stomach started tightening in sympathy for the passengers because I do not like (in any way) sudden drops during flying. The camera coverage in this video is quite impressive. I can't imagine how difficult it was [legally] to get an international commercial airport to okay the use of camera drones within restricted airspace! (The one overhead shot of the nose of the plane as it's taxiing onto the runway was spectacular.) The synchronization of all ground-, aircraft- and tower-based cameras onto to the exact same flight was also quite a challenging treat. My compliments go out to the video editing and on-site production staff for making it look so seamless.

This might be the most interesting thing I've ever watched!

Mit diesem Captain würde ich am Ende der Welt fliegen,der strahlt so viel Selbstvertrauen, ruhig und souverän fliegt er sein A380,einfach klasse!Ich habe Flugangst und fliege trotzdem weil ich von diesen wunderbaren Maschinen und den Beruf einfach fasziniert bin.

How could it be a German airline and I hadn't heard "Wunderbar"? I was satisfied at 04:47

You can clearly see that Mr. Raps enjoyed his job and that he's a very happy person. Love this man.

You'd feel very safe with these guys in charge. Marvellous video. Thank you.

Very professional, calm and methodical and in control, most impressed, especially since I am a nervous flyer, even though I have been aloft many a time! Enjoyed watching, thank you for posting.

"A very short flight of 10.30 hrs" lol

Might be one of the best tapes ever, I have to watch it twice a year at least.

For many years I flew by Lufthansa from Miami to Minsk on A380. I would say that Lufthansa is one of the most reliable air carriers.

Best job in the world....

Love the absolute professionalism of everyone

"Right on the touchdown marker" and they both smile, after watching the other L380 land in front of them. Members of the 'Cool Cat Club' for sure.

My grandfather flew this aircraft.😍 He was a captain at Lufthansa for many years. He flew the Airbus a380 as well as a DC10. He taught me a lot about the cockpit and all about flying, so much so that I could already run the flight simulator on Windows pro. when I was 12 haha.😂❤ unfortunately he has been gone for a long time😔 and I hold on to all the beautiful memories and educational things he gave me.🙏 miss you a lot grandpa, keep the flight going until the day we meet again up there and take me then on a flight to peace and quiet.🫡

The pilots are totally professional. They are super cool and relaxed without any tension whatsoever. Kudos to Luftansa on having such amazing pilots ! !

I like watching these two. They really seem to love what they do.

I think maybe Kapitan Raps' final flight is in this mix. It's very emotional. The moment when he removes his captain's bars is incredible.

The Germans don't mess around.

9:20 he is as excited as anyone who sees a plane landing :)

I come back every 3 or 4 months and rewatch the video. I find it very soothing.

Best cockpit video I've seen yet!

I think this is the most educational video I have seen so far in a sterile cocpit... I tho I do not fly A380 queen I still can get a sense of same routine ck points... very helpful.... thank you guys...

Forget the A 380, the vehicle that does the push back sure has to be mighty powerful. That little flatbed truck pushing a mighty aircraft....

Co-pilot - "31 minutes ahead of schedule. You can't beat that." How to make Germans happy : )

Great video! All that interaction of ground crews, ATC, and pilots to get that huge plane on its way to SF. Amazing what the human mind has produced!

Their accent is beautiful. .

Being a co-pilot it has to be so much fun to fly with this captain, he's so chill and funny haha

"As always, we decide after take off" :D this Captain is an absolute don

I love the Lufthansa pilots, they're all so cool and calm. I'm terrified of flying but I'd fly Lufthansa in a heartbeat because their pilots are so amazing.

I am so hooked on Lufthansa videos. Keep them coming.

That was a BADASS video!!! Full of enthusiasm and professional. LOVED IT

So the plane literally flies itself. Amazing.

So so professional! I love the checklists, preparation for take off and alternatives in case of emergency. So good!

Man, I might beat my fear of plane flights after this video. Professional, yet so chill about it.

I’m flying to Germany for the first time in exactly 4 weeks! This was interesting to watch!

Relaxed calm, a wry of humour and very professional

At 10:52 you can see the A380 in the same shot with a B747. That Airbus is huge. A well done to Captain Raps; he is a true professional and a credit to Lufthansa.

Für mich ist es sehr aufregend all das zu sehen, ich liebe Flugzeuge und alles an ihnen; Danke Fürs teilen....

Appreciated the humor sense and cool attitude of Capton

I dont really think much about aviation on a day to day basis, but when i’m in the air, i’m completely engrossed in it. Like every thing that happens fascinates me. Especially when turbulence hits and i remind myself that it’s just a bit of warm air rising.

Awesome cockpit video!

I always get too excited watching videos about A380 plane... something about it.

So sad that Airbus is stopping the production of this piece of art...

The captain has such a great personality I just can't stop watching This.. I used to load and unload cargo from the emerates and singerpore A380 at Heathrow while I was at Dnata from 2006 to 2015... I was the first person or one of the group of people at plane handling who did the ramp ops on the emerates A380 when they introduced it from the 777 in Around 2010 approx if I Am correct .

Jurgen Raps. Great man. Bless him and his family in retirement.

Ich hab ja totale Flugangst und bin selbst jetzt total aufgeregt, wenn ich den Start sehe. Aber es fasziniert mich auch irgendwie total und es hilft mir ungemein die Abläufe mal zu sehen :) Freue mich schon auf den Flug nach Stockholm im August auch mit Lufthansa

A really fascinating watch, wow they are so organised lol

*😎🇺🇸✈️ Flying with captain super is always enthralling. ! After 40 years of flying, he is Retired and settled in Phoenix, AZ now.💐👍💟*

The Captain has an excellent speaking voice and he speaks flawless German.

Lufthansa pilots are so professional

BRAVO!!! Wonderful!!! What a delightful video to watch! Thank you!!! The pilot is a very nice guy!

I like how german pilots are so professional, they always have been

So oft schon geflogen.. und nie solche Eindrücke gehabt. Tolles Video.

145 tons of fuel, astonishing!

I love Lufthansa crew! When I worked at Swissotel Lufthansa crew would stay with us and they were always so fun and friendly - also consummate professionals. :-)

What a magnificent piece of aircraft! I love flying I have so much fun watching these videos thank you!

Sehr sympathische und kompetente Piloten - ich bin begeistert!

Impeccable footage with views of everything the viewer wants to see. Excellent video! On point!

What an absolute beast of a plane, it never fails to amaze me how they get off the ground weighing so much

like when captain said tres und quatro :)

Amazing, you never know how busy those guys are with all that forest of electronics while you are busy ordering wine and whisky behind or up there watching stuff on your screen. Amazing is an understatement

Pájaro Gigante... qué hermoso es... WOW.... desde Guatemala Guatemala CA.. Hermoso Hermoso video... gracias gracias.

You guys put a lot of effort, time, and energy on your videos. They are very well done.

Captain is one cool dude.👍

Sad that cpt. Raps retired few years ago

It doesn't look *that* hard to fly a modern jet under normal conditions.. I suppose the skill is being able to choose the right course of action when things don't quite go according to plan ! Great video.

Cool to see all they really talk about prior to take off.

Spectacular! Great video, as usual.

I am watching this to desensitized myself.I am a very nervous flyer and have panic\aniexty attacks especially flying.

2020 and this video is still one of my favorite of the A380

One of my favourite cockpit videos right here. I love to travel with Lufthansa, every time I fly it's a real comfortable and professional experience. Thanks for the upload.

I love these videos! Keep em coming

I am sort of addicted to these videos on piloting and procedures pertaining thereto. I now have an opportunity to watch and favom what really happens in a cockpit when the plane takes off, lands, and what preparations are needed prior to the foregoing. I am just amazed ! But this might highten my anxiety during future perigrinations on board those metallic birds. 😅😅😅😅😅 !!!

see pilot comment on wasp at 7:50 This is wasp 49P to home base I've latched on to the big bug and am in the process of bringing him home now. Current speed 1 mph will contact you again when I reach max cruising speed of 7 mph. over. This is wasp 49 papa declaring an emergency. My attachment prods are stuck and the big bug is accelerating quickly. We have passed my normal cruising speed of 7 mph and fast approaching my maximum structural integrity speed of 23 mph. I'm hoping this bug has a top speed less than 23. over This is wasp 49 papa to base, (say again 49 papa you are breaking up). You're telling me, I'm at 23 mph and the G forces have pulled off my left wing. This dang bug appears to be attempting to take flight. I don't know how much longer I can take this. Tell the wife and little stingers I love them. over.

- "Still to the east" Lol savage captain 4:42
