United Airlines Exclusive Boeing 787-9 Cockpit Tour and FULL BRIEFING | UA2105 

not one steam gage in sight

Except I can't get past the first minute without almost vomiting watching those pilots wearing those damn useless face nappies

Most pilots, in my experience anyway, seem very nostalgic about the 767, and say it was their favorite airplane. Of course, United still flies them, and I think they’re so comfortable for the passengers, despite the relative lack of sophistication.

I concur .UAL A&P SFOMM service center .60's and 70's B727 seemed technologically advanced for that day and age

you are a real pilot then, too much automation now, i wanted to be a commercial pilot in 1995, i almost got my private pilot license but money ran out, the owner of the school is a retired american airlines a300 captain( Richard Green), nowadays pilot dont have to do anything

@@franklintejeda3472not true. Respectfully, though work load has definitely decreased and many systems and processes have been developed to alleviate pilot work load, pilots still hold lots of knowledge, and are trained to fly safely and are also trained to handle emergency situations. Technology has advanced so far that it makes pilotting look easy. However autopilot is only an aid in navigation, and all pilots right mowing most likely already learned to fly with and without autopilot. Autopilot has existed for a long time as well i believe. So no need to try to look down on pilots. Pilots are paid for the knowledge they hold in weather, characteristics of aircraft, aerodynamics, psychological sciences, but also the skills they hold in maneuvering the aircraft.

Sure, so glad you enjoyed it! Would love to do one on the 777, 747 and more!

Hey, no problem at all! Hope all goes well and you get hired!

so howd it go?? did u get the job???

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Agreed. Love the dreamliner!

Same for myself. It was such an iconic experience and I hope to be able to do it again in a new aircraft soon!

Agreed! I live along the intl flight path for flights to asia and europe (north of the field) so it’s a reality to me too. Great memories!

❤@@XLRSAv

Iam asking myself isn`t about too much detail.

Thank you. I agree!

Wow, that’s incredible!

Thanks, really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed this rare experience!!

@@XLRSAv I can tell you were using a DSLR not a phone or camcorder. Is that right?

@@TheCuriousSpotter yes it is.

Me too! As an airbus person also, i find the 787 to actually be abit prettier than the a350! Even though they both are, ans I in general like airbus aircraft more, both are amazing companies!

It’s not a competition

Thanks, Grammy!

Of course. Thanks for watching!!

You're welcome...I'm looking forward to watching more great content! Keep up the great work!! @@XLRSAv

@@Gemashke Thanks much!

Agreed.

Wow what a memory.

@@XLRSAv yes tail end of deregulation, planes took off on time full or completely empty

Funny enough, we bumped into the pilot in line at starbucks. One way to possibly get a tour of the cockpit, is to approach the pilot if they are waiting at the gate, kindly introduce yourself, state that you are an enthusiast / aspiring pilot, and ask if you may take photos and video of the cockpit upon boarding. They’ll almost always say yes!

Literally by chance. We were in line for coffee and happened to run into the captain of our plane! I asked and, without hesitation, he offered to bring us up front. Full flight review coming soon!

@@XLRSAv Oh wow! That's cool! I probably won't be on a plane until my flight lessons!🔥

Haha, Thanks!

I’ll have to test that on my next cockpit tour (if it ever happens)

My uncle was the same. 747 captain for United many years ago. I had to help him install a modem in his computer. He is 84 and enjoying his retirement life flying remote control planes!

(1) I did not know any of them (2) I met the captain and first officer at the Starbucks like in T1. I asked him where he was flying to and then, hearing that he was on the same flight as we were, I told him that I was planning i on going into flight training and asked if I could take some photos of the cockpit, knowing that it was very technologically advanced.

Also, thank you so much for the comment!

Enjoyed it too!

There are discussions of getting to a single pilot where a computer flies the plane. The pilot is there to handle any problems that may occur.

And what happens if that one pilot has a medical emergency because some twin pilot planes do have issues ?@@deepthinker999

@mobidick6064 I’m not sure what your issue is. All commercial aircraft have dual control capabilities. On a typical flight, there is a pilot flying and a pilot monitoring. The pilot monitoring does the radio work, landing gear extension or retraction, flap position manipulation and button pushing for navigation. The captain sits in the left seat and the first officer sits in right seat. Seniority, and thus experience, earns the left seat. That said, the captain is not always the pilot flying. If the right seat person always just sat there, they would never gain experience. Also, automation has greatly reduced human error and reduced pilot workload. Flying is safer as a result.

@@TenMinuteTrips yes I'm aware of this to a greater degree. What I'm asking is if all the electronics stopped working, would you be able to know the altitude, speed etc and more importantly land the plane?

@@mobidick6064 If you lose "all" electrics, you will lose all the instruments and control of the engines (for those that have FADEC). That means no more altitude, engine control or speed information from the cockpit. You'd be pretty much screwed. That applies for all airliners today, not just the 787. You'd be screwed. As for flight controls, if you lose literally all electricity on the 787, A380 and A350 (all 3 did away with mechanical backup and have only electrical backup), you're doomed as you'll lose all the flight controls, regardless if you have all hydraulic systems (btw all 3 can fly with total hydraulic systems failure due to electro mechanical/hydraulic actuators to power some flight controls). There is risk in aviation and nothing is ever 100% foul proof. That's why there's alot of redundancy to keep the odds of complete failure as low as possible. We have to accept that. I'd be more worried of loss of all hydraulic systems than electrics. Speaking of loss of electrics, the last aircraft I'd expect to lose all is the 787. After studying the systems, the electrical redundancy is extremely high with so many generators and batteries, more than all other airliners to the point you have a better shot of losing all your hydraulics or engines than all electrics at once.

Haha! Many would wonder why as well. Tires lose pressure on every landing depending on the firmness of touchdown. Most are refilled after a few flights to prevent flats.

I’d love to do that comparison! Haven’t down on the 350 yet, but as soon as I do, i’ll do my best to get in the cockpit!

Video was filmed in Jan 2022…masks off now!!

The only depressing thing is that you can't let it go

It’s certainly more ergonomic. The Airbus systems are also better laid out on the overhead panel and the pedestal, but both are pretty advanced flight decks. Incidentally, Airbus also have far comfier seats in the flight deck! The 787 is still an excellent aircraft.

A Boeing deixa a tecnologia apoiar o homem. A Airbus põe o homem para assistir a tecnologia trabalhar ou seja faz o homem ter papel secundário, por isso que os Airbus parecem ter os painéis com menos detalhes e mais limpos.

Saw the captain in line at starbucks, asked where he was going, found out he was on the same flight as me and so I asked if I would be able to take photos of the cockpit. Hilariously simple.

Agreed! Best case scenario when main systems go out is that the pilots have their ipads for navigation, as well as a non-electricity powered altimeter and artificial horizon.

Dream Big!! It could happen!

@@XLRSAv big dream?? I hope happen

The terrorism country, USA will never allow you dream... there my countries out there Dubai 's go to found your self work to your brotherhood my guy. They still in memory ousama and you again???

@@infoit825 First of all, you are not the one to decide for me where to go and where to achieve my dream. This is about me. You are not a racist bitch.

@@infoit825 In addition, we Iranian people are not terrorists. If we were not immigrants, your country would not even exist. Before you speak, think about your own nonsense.

Filmed in Jan 2021…during covid

Don't you mean "face diapers"?

This airline mandated the jab too…

Bunch of babies lol

​@@firstlast--- Bunch of brainwashed nuts wearing them!

I gotta fly a 359 sometime

Yawn... "mitchell" is another mask Wienie...
