This video is pure A380 goodness. That wing flapping around, perfection

At first I couldn't figure out how wake turbulence could affect an A380. It was answered when another A380 took off before the second one

Is it just me or is that Challenge 747 captain doing a disproportionate amount of the workload? Yoke, radio response, flaps, calling gear up, putting gear up, etc - FO only helped with activating TOGA.

Wrong times two. 1. The little c captain was completely over the top with his "help". All of the non pilots are so jazzed about how quickly he jumped on the throttles so quickly. Yet while he was jumping the gun doing that he missed the First Officers call for Flaps 20, which is the FIRST thing he's supposed to do on a G/A. The is no rush to jam in the throttles like that, particularly if the First Officer already selected TOGA on the throttle switch. If you watch carefully, the FO is selecting TOGA as the captain is jamming in max (or nearly so) thrust. The Auto Throttles are already commanding a programmed amount of thrust for the GA. Besides, the airplane only requires a half a shove to get it flying. Adding too much thrust in a Go Around is a sure way to screw things up. Since he took so long to call positive rate, the gear speed is possibly an issue as are the Flap speeds. Plus, underslung engines produce a lot of pitch up moment and this can really get you in a tight box, particularly with a low altitude level off. He was too busy on the tower frequency. There is no rush to call the tower. The rule is Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. And there is no reason to shout like he was doing. It's distracting and raises the tension in the cockpit for absolutely no reason. And this was not a sim. I won't even address his hand being all over the yoke for all of it. @@boringpolitician

That was very intimate when the pilot flying put his hand on the other pilot's hand to move the throttles.

It's so cool when the door and wheels don't fall off.

Very deft, Mr. Chopper Pilot!

The captain on the Challenge 747 is absolutely brilliant, even though FO is pilot flying the Captain has complete understanding and control over the situation, he spots the need to go around early and instead of telling the FO to do it he physically puts his hand on the thrust to make sure it gets done, then on the climb out he proceeds to prompt the FO into giving him the commands whilst simultaneously configuring the aircraft, great pilot

All respects to the non fixed wing aircraft crew who have so much mirw potential risks and comparatively far less margins of error and not much protection like the handsome experience of some fixed wing crafts. Great compilation as always🤍👌🏼💙 That A380 PAX must either be a frequent traveller or have🦾 nerves of steel to not only not get perturbed by those wings flexing like that.. but also recording it all with a steady hand.

The 747 go around looked like “Love is in the Air”…

Turbulence is the scariest feeling for me while flying.

That JFK was crazy !!!!! That was skill.

One in 12 (or 8%) upticked. I don't think I've seen that much approval on any video before!

I recently landed at JFK on a flight that used that Canarsie approach. At the time, I didn't know it was "famous", it was just alarming. Never been on a plane that banked so low over such a densely populated area, the camera doesn't do it justice.

I was on a propeller driven commuter aircraft and we were following a 757. This was when they were relatively new. We got a little too close and yee haa! Our plan was bounced around violently, I thought we had done a barrel roll...LOL. A few weeks later I saw were the FAA had issued a bulletin that any aircraft following a 757 had to maintain a significantly greater distance because they had not realized just how much turbulence they put out.

Amazing how slow it seems when landing view from cockpit. As a passenger looking out side window you think, slow the heck down, feels way too fast to land. Do we have enough runway etc..

Helicopter pilot is a boss!

I may be saying something stupid, but please correct me if I'm wrong. The captain of the Boeing 747-400F who performed the go around, from what I saw, is clearly the PF (Pilot Flying) and the first officer is the PM (Pilot Monitoring). However, after the call to perform the go around by ATC, the captain proceeded to go around, as well as retracting the flaps and landing gear. In this situation, these last two tasks should have been performed by the first officer, right? It's just a small detail, but now I'm curious...

To me it looks like the the FO is pf. The captain says "positive rate" and waits for the pf to reply "gear up".

A380 wake turbulence is way underestimated. In the early days of the 380 we had a 767 14NM behind one on approach and the pilot had to pull out of the approach because he was being tossed around too much.

That 767 was completely offcenter
