BY FULL FLIGHT IT MEANS IT INCLUDES ALL MAIN STAGES OF FLIGHT; NOT LITERALLY THE WHOLE FLIGHT!
Flight Details, route & more. Please read before commenting ----
Why so long? Simply because I wanted to give you guys as much detail as possible. Mainly with the descent, you can tell I filmed 85% of it with ATC. It's for people who are interested of the steps of descending beyond just looking out the window. You don't have to watch the full video as I know a lot don't have time. If you want to skip to approach then go to 50:00 minutes in. We were in the hold at Bovingdon (BNN) for around 25 minutes so didn't film all of it ha. Here are some Flight Details:
Callsign: United934
Flight: UAL934 Los Angeles LAX - London Heathrow LHR
Aircraft: Boeing 777-222/ER (N792UA)
Time: DEP: 5pm Local, ARR: 12:30pm Local
Date: DEP May 7th, ARR May 8th
Seat: 26A (Economy Plus, older cabin)
Route: 25R HOLTZ9 TRM PKE J78 DRK RSK HGO MCK MCW GRB J101 SSM YUY MT ROBBE STEAM OYSTR 55N050W 56N040W 56N030W 55N020W RESNO NETKI NIBOG UN551 BEL UL10 WAL NUGRA BNN1B 27R
How did I get ATC? United offers you to listen throughout on their Audio Channel 9, I then simply put my headphones to my Camera's Mic! For the Departure you can tell the ATC is lower, because I used United's headphones and not my ones unlike for the Arrival.
Camera? Sony HX100V Recorded and Edited in 1920x1080p 59.59FPS in Sony Vegas Pro
How's the flight? Well as you saw on my seat it was the older Cabin so the TV's were awful and not used. Good thing I had my Laptop, iPhone & a Window! Seats weren't too comfortable but not as bad as Virgin's! Service was great though, very friendly crew. Food however has gone down hill with United in my eyes, not the best so good thing I had Mc Donald's at the Airport ha. Flying back to the US on June 27th so hopefully I will get to experience their newer cabin. That's all I have to say, decent Flight but if you can go Air New Zealand on this route then I recommend them over UA. I didn't fly them because of the price as the Olympics prices were ridiculous so I had to take the cheaper option. Well second, Virgin were first ha! Anything else I haven't put you'd like to know comment below.
Enjoy!

I flew on a B772 to Orlando and back last month. I LOVED listening to the flaps and gear whines. They sound so cool when they make that noise. I also loved watching the flaperons adjust when we were taking off and landing. It was windy when we took of in Gatwick and they were moving like mad to keep the plane balanced. It was awesome. One day I'd like to captain 777s and 747s. "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going."

@rpsanforth 11 лет назад

Actually got a bit of acrophobia watching this. Great videos for those rare few of us who've never been on a plane before. Adding ATC is a nice touch. :)

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Cheers! Don't be nervous, it's great fun. Definitely get a window seat, helps put things at ease if you're nervous too. Like if you're in Turbulence you can look out and see it's just cloud, although you can get "Clear Air Turbulence". Plus the views can be breathtaking! Enjoy!

I've never understood people who are too grumpy to appreciate the feeling of soaring through the skies.

@airbxnee 10 лет назад

It's become the 'normal' - I think there's only a selection of people in the world that truly appreciate it! One of the reasons I do these videos - many aren't fortunate enough or old enough to travel the world on aircraft yet, so my goal here is to give other people besides the normal avgeeks watching the experience of that. Flying is a beautiful thing and I always get people to sit by the window if they're traveling. Always get a comment about how amazing it was!

@misterfaosfx 9 лет назад

HeathrowSpottingHD On a flight I had the biggest laugh of my life when I was having a conversation with a stranger at the airport. He was saying he was a pilot and he flew for many years and then we both see an A380 taxying past the gate and he points out and says, "That's that 747 with two floors, I flew that for 1 year." I looked at him, excused myself and went to the bathroom to laugh my head off.......I truly believed this guy until he said that load of bull shit, LOL.

I personally want to thank Heathrow SpottingHD for taking the time to leave very diligent and concise thoughts in the description. Great film work!

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Yeah it's one reason I picked them - minus their decent price! Unfortunately it's just music over the atlantic since they use CPDLC 99% of the time to communicate over HF radio rich environments. Also on the flight back the skipper turned off ATC shortly after they received clearance on the ground. It was then on for about an hour over Newfoundland. Could have been a malfunction or he actually just wanted it off. I should have asked really! Would have made another good video )-:

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Thank you! No way don't let that put you off. It used to worry me but I listened to ATC, learnt the different terminology and procedures. It comes quick to some people, takes a while for others. Now ATC is my favourite part about flying, I can't wait to talk to London Control in the future :-). Don't worry! You'll learn throughout your PPL. If you use FSX get Vatsim and practice on there. Remember even these professionals mess up, very regularly. No one's perfect at it 100% of the time.

@AdamMachYT 11 лет назад

what camera do you have? :))

@dispatcherrich 11 лет назад

United Airlines makes the ATC available as part of the in flight entertainment system, usually Channel 9 on your audio panel. It's at the discretion of the Captain, so it isn't always turned on.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Thank you! No I left the engine sounds like that for a reason, I love all the sounds the 777 makes. If I didn't want the sounds I would have just recorded the ATC with a separate device and synced it up.

The cabin crew guy sounded so bored reading off the dont do this dont do that ect sounded like somebody out of Father Ted, and to those who dont know its an old british comedy show from a few years back. Ive flown united several times i found them ok . The incredible bit about this trip was the heathrow ATC guy speaking to this unìted flight is an old work mate . Good to see how his moved on in life . Good dvd enjoyed.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

In Europe you'll only hear the term 'Super' expressed by ATC which is uniquely used for the A380. Heavy is not a requirement and ATC will nine times out of ten not read callsign back with 'Heavy' - however I'm always hearing Americans use it on Heathrow Director. Just a habit, like how I say Decimal when flying in the states whilst everyone else uses Point. Most approach controllers in the UK ask you to confirm your aircraft type on first contact with Director - as stated on the ATIS.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Anywhere from 9-11 depending on the winds. The B777-200/ER's + B777-300 (Non-ER) don't have winglets - however the -300ER/LR/Freighter have what are called ''Raked wingtips'' which do the same job if better than winglets. The B772ER simply doesn't need it because its fuel burn is just as good without. Raked wingtips help with the range of the aeroplane too - not too many airlines these days take the -200ER's/-300's over 12 hours. Some do but not many. Simplest way I could put it - hope helped!

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

However in Europe and rest of the world you can get a clearance such as "Land after the touching down A320" or for a single runway operation you may hear "Land after the departing aircraft". It's actually somewhat common at Heathrow (first one) instead of giving a clearance to land at 100ft or so. Don't quote the phraseology though, probably does differ. However be the same concept from what I've heard on the radios. In this video, the landing clearance is around the normal time for Heathrow.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Awesome to know - must be quite a job assembling one of these beauties! In the UK and majority of the world, a clearance to land is when the runway is entirely clear. In the US you use visual approaches - so the clearance you get can be when you're number five on the ILS! It's a landing clearance, not necessarily meaning the runway is clear. Even in GA where I fly (KSNA) - I get a clearance to land when I'm still a few miles out and not number one.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Because they come on automatically to prepare certain systems for certain stages of flight. You see hydraulic pressure is removed from the flaperon then falls by it's own weight, it then gets aerodynamically pushed up then goes back to the 10 degree angle with the flaps. Pressure is normally restored around 80knts and it goes back to the yokes commanded position. It's to prevent fatiguing the actuators (ACES). Also you can hear the hydraulics retracting the landing gear - also flaps on climb.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Depends on no one but the Flight Attendants. On the flight back to LA I got stopped and couldn't film the engine-start and had to wait for them to be seated. The Landing I was dodging her too. This flight no one seemed to care thankfully. An Air New Zealand FA was speaking to me whilst filming once, was perfectly fine with it. Just be discrete as possible, sometimes it's hard if you have to lean over to get a view for your window. Just keep an eye out for the FA's too.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

The 777 doesn't have winglets. Wingtip just means the end of the wing - every aircraft has them. The 200LR/F & 300ER have extended wingtips which are called "Raked Wingtips" - slightly different to winglets but do the same if better job. This is the B772ER and does not have any. None of United's 777's have those raked wingtips since they only have 200/ERs. You may have the 777 confused with the 76/75/73.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Correct it is the responsibility of ATC but, if you were core altitude with another aircraft with say one mile separation, for your own good and safety you'll want to know what they're doing. You'll want to know how many other aircraft are on approach, in the holding pattern - the list goes on! I don't know if you have any pilot licenses but if you did I'd imagine you'd understand when I say it's extremely good situational awareness to know others plans. Especially for VFR flying.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

ATC is exactly what is says, Traffic Control. If there was no ATC at Heathrow or even anywhere then.. well I think you'd look at crashes weekly. I'm a training Pilot and I find ATC exceptionally easy. Mainly because I've been listening to years so ATC for me is second nature. ATC are there to keep you separated from other Aircraft, vector you in for an approach like we did at LHR, lots of things! Safety is the number one priority whilst flying. Without ATC I don't think things could operate.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

The B767 does indeed have flaperons. However the B777/B787's have a few more modern technologies in side the whole system compared to the B767/B747. I think the B748 might share similar characteristics as the 77/78 but I cannot be completely sure. The B757 doesn't have flaperons though - that wing is similar to the B737NG.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

I would fly those airlines tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have any reasons to fly to that side of the world! However I will in the near future. I'd gladly fly Emirates LAX>DXB>LHR (-; just the price likes to scare one away! Air New Zealand are the best airline on the Heathrow>Los Angeles route with BA close behind.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Yeah he was behind us on the approach. By the way - it's LTCC/TMA (London Terminal Control Centre) not TRACON, that's a US term only. We don't refer to London as 'Departure or Approach' either, it's 'London Control'. Each airport has their own "Director" or "Radar" unlike the US, you're put on Vectors to final approach. Visual Approaches would die trying in London's TMA ha (-:

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

It's whichever one they use on the A346. I haven't used IFE in years, Laptops-iPad/iPhone's is all I use, so having a USB and or Power is way more important to me. I just like having a nice flight map! Virgin went down hill a couple of years ago in my opinion. When I was 10 or so I used to fly to New Jersey a lot; they weren't as big then and were way better!

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Thank you! Besides from the fact of it being a 772 & having ATC it wasn't the best flight. The only time I plan on flying United next will be on the B788 - for this route I recommend Air New Zealand, or BA are good in the summer when they have their 77W's on the route, which are way nicer than the 744's. I had to go with the cheapest direct option for this route unfortunately!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Cheers. Standard acceleration height of 1,000AGL used so flaps weren't down for to long. For the 772 we would've probably had near enough 70% of all three tanks full. The 772/ER can fly just above 7,000nm depending on configuration, weight & routing. Pax wise the cabins were probably 85/90% full, not sure on freight. My guess would be around 220KG maybe, MTOW is 297KG!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

This video is not aimed at everyone. It's aimed at a certain Audience, made up of Aviators, Boeing, 777, United & Heathrow fans. It's not for everyone, all people will not like it. Happy to say most do! If you read the description then you'd know how I have ATC and why the video is even this long! Cheers.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

I would love to, however I don't see myself choosing United again if other options are available. My flight back to LA had ATC off the entire time due the Captain - since it's up to him to turn it on and off. So you cannot count on always having ATC when flying with UA.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Remember either ATC or Pilots are correct all the time. For flying into what we call "Uncontrolled Airspace" we rely on other pilots telling each other what they're doing. We can request different things from ATC if we're not happy with what instructions they've asked us to conduct.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Yeah lets hope I do. Simply because I don't want to judge UA on that config. I definitely wont book with them again, should of booked ANZ and paid the extra cost. Not saying UA are all bad though just ANZ are definitely better on this route. Let's see on the return! Thank you.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Thomas: Yeah I do apologise as I missed a lot of the Sunset/Sunrise due to Flight Attendants bugging everyone to shut the blinds. This had the very, very old United cabin with old TV's - so I was hardly looking at it myself. Thank you!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

No that's what the 777's gear sounds like. The hydraulic noises are extremely evident on approach when the gear is extended. If our landing gear blowed then the title of this video would be something along the lines of "Emergency Take-off + Landing".

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Ha yeah long flight for them. When I went up to the flight deck I was expecting to be welcomed by some truly grumpy gits (I'd understand why though). Got a bit of a smug look from the Captain as he walked out but FO was extremely welcoming.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Virgin have gone down hill massively. I can relate to everything you said. If you want to do this route go Air New Zealand, best flights I've had yet. United have gone down hill also since their merge, however their IFE has improved, better than VS anyway.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Because it's good situational awareness to know what everyone else is doing. ATC isn't 'hard' one bit, especially for these guys that come on frequency as they're all experienced. It's only hard when you're trying to get a SELCAL from Mumbai Center ha!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Cheers. All the raw files were around 15GB. Once put in vegas, edited and rendered it came out a little over 4GB. Took 9 hours to upload! UK Internet sucks, at least what my Sister has ha. Around 15 Down and 0.8 up? In the US I get 5 Up and average 16 Down!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Hmmm, they've changed slightly. The crew are nice, friendly and definitely look after you. But not as good as before, food gone down hill too. But not all Aircraft are refurbished, until they're all done I won't consider booking again. Prefer'd ANZ though..

@RubinTian 12 лет назад

Well I hope you get that chance. I flew the 3x3x3 twice and I have to say it's way better than the old layout. It's roomier and the PTV/IFE is way better than the old ones. Have a fun time in LHR and have a safe flight back to the states!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

If you look back quite a few videos you'll see I flew them back in August to LA. Total rubbish Airline sadly to say, use to be one of my favourites but after that Flight I can't see myself boarding one of those Aircraft in the near future.

@dowhatyougottado9381 2 года назад

The landing clearance is given just before landing. It is rather near the runway I must admit

@BangaloreAviation 11 лет назад

I only suggest reduction, especially in the take-off and climb phase where the engine noise drowns the Channel 9 cockpit conversation. Just a thought. :) If you're in to engine sounds, check out my latest video. Regards

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

I flew VS the first time I went out to LAX. Wasn't an all bad flight I guess. Their IFE is bloody awful! I wouldn't choose to fly with them tomorrow though. Tokyo Narita only has a couple of operators from Heathrow I think.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Yes, they're seated for departure - not taxy! The one behind me sat down just as we lined up and sat down for landing on short finals. However some airlines like ANZ are strict and their FA's are sat down mid push.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Because it's simply not needed. The Ailerons on the wings raise very little on the 777 during flight (besides speedbrakes deploying) The flaperon provides the greatest angles (High and Low) for banking.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

"Why it cost only about an hour" - no idea why you said cost. It's not literally the full flight!!! It just implies it has all the main parts included such as departure, cruise and landing.

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

Ah okay - yeah that was because on Departure I had United's rubbish headphones against the mic, also turned down fairly low. Unlike the rest is loud and clear since I used my good headphones.

@BangaloreAviation 11 лет назад

Good video. Is it possible to reduce the background engine noise? May be something like Final Cut Pro which has a background noise elimination filter. Despite it, good video. Thanks for sharing.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Thanks. By full flight - it implies it includes all stages of flight, i.e Push,Departure,Cruise,Approach,Landing. It never meant to imply it's the full eleven hours - who'd do that anyway ha.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Most people that do that get "All electrical equipment must be switched off until the seatbelt sign is turned off". It depends on the Cabin Crew, some are strict and some simply don't care.

@minitrundle 12 лет назад

Nice one! Love the Triple Seven, next time you sure fly with BA, It their 77W, Then you can compare AZ, UA and BA on that route! ;) Any chance of you catching some Heathrow footage during your stay?

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Unfortunately United turn on music once they go of VHF to HF and Radar Service is Terminated. The 777 will communicate via ACARS/CPDLC until into Shannon Airspace on the other side.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Yep it was pretty uncomfortable if I'm honest. Old aircraft - however I have no idea what you're talking about regarding the wing tips. Either you have the term lack or wing tips confused!

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

Sorry but do you know the difference between the two? Do you even know what Fly-by-wire is? Do you know what Hydraulics are and do? If you did then you wouldn't even think that.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

This was the Pratt and Whitney. The Continental ones still only fly Continental routes, same with UA. They're not really fully merged yet, they both still fly out of different Terminals.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

The photo you're referring to i'm guessing? I simply asked the Flight Attendant on the door while de-boarding and she and the Captain were fine with it. Normally go in at the end!

@airbxnee 11 лет назад

These flights you go over the US/Canada then across the North Atlantic - sometimes up over Greenland & Iceland depending if there's some good jet streams over there.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

United have a lot of British crew. I believe they might even be Britain based! I've had the same British First Officer on United two years in a row believe it or not ha.

@airbxnee 12 лет назад

I've not flown with the 3-3-3 on UA only 2-5-2. Hopefully I get the new cabin 3-3-3 on the way back then I'll say! Had 3-3-3 on ANZ 77W and liked it! More spaced out.
