These pilots are amazing. I'm so freaked out when it takes off and lands and these guys are "another day at the office". This technology is amazing. The best that man is capable of.

The responsibility of those men is enormous. It must get boring though, sitting in such cramped conditions, for great lengths of time. I'd wanna go for a walk somewhere!💨

My Father was a pilot in the Air Force for many years ... and he continued in the aviation industry after he retired. I spent many hours with him while he showed me anything and everything on the aircraft he spent so many hours on. I have to say that I'm completely amazed every time a plane leaves the ground, and the skill that it takes to get it in the air, and keep it there. I have the most profound respect for you guys that cannot be put into words. Thank You for keeping us all safe!!!

Love the harmony on deck. That's how you fly. Tweaks and adjustments all the time, Good Video. Thanks. Planes defo prefer the air as opposed to concrete. The plane soon glides over the concrete and ALL the weight is actually airborne even before take off The plane gets to a speed whilst tramming down the runway and all it wants to do is take to the sky. Physics!

Sounds like Concorde when its tear arsing down the runway, according to one of the captains, "all Concorde wants to do is get into the air into its natural environment". It's a travesty in what happened to Concorde. Happy new year!

Man that is just awesome, thanks so much for uploading this. I've flown well over 100,000 miles since moving from the USA to Brazil and I'm just in awe every flight. Pilots rule! :)

One of the most beautiful aircraft cockpit!

Yes, there are lots of switches and buttons and gauges. BUT remember, almost all of theses buttons and gauges are in 2 copies of each, one for pilot, one for co-pilot, all for added safety. Now take your car, and double all the buttons, gauges and dashboard lights. Add a second set of steering wheel, gas and brake pedal. Does your car start to look complicated ? Now look at your PC keyboard. Lots of buttons there too. Well, the 3 flight computers there each have a separate keyboard. So yes there are lots of buttons and switches, but you should feel better knowing there 2 of each in case the first one fail. Planes are very safe today.

Although not a pilot, I have flown considerably in my youthful years, and I can relate stories of problems in flight, during takeoff, and landing. Scared the bejeezus out of me, but I kept on flying.

I will always remember my first ever flight experience and I sat at the cockpit behind the pilots whilst it took off back in yr 1996! Was amazing!

Agreed! Kai Tak was a real 'rush' but a bit scary. The new airport is an extraordinary feat of engineering in itself, much of it depending upon land reclaimed from the sea.A wonderful airport and I do prefer it even if it is much further from the city.

I just can't get tired of this great video, 747 is wonderful machine

Best comeback I've heard in a while!! Stay safe Captain!!!

Amazing high quality of those turning knobs that they are constantly adjusting !

Just LOVE the sound of those four beautiful turbines spinning up to full power on the flight line!

Awesome man. Thanks. I flew in the right seat of one of my member's (I'm an asst. golf professional) Citation I yesterday. It was a dream come true. My father took to me airshows since I was two and my dream was to be a fighter pilot. My asthma pretty much took care of that (reaction to: watch the side of the highway scene in "Little Miss Sunshine'). Currently reading chapter by chapter of the AIM manual, I might as well be in medical school. A lot to know.

Maaannnn that must be an awesome feeling, pushing the 4 levers on max !!!

wow amazing, I love it, captures the moment, is a real pleasure, and yeah the crew do a great job, God bless them all

Nice to see the procedures. Yhank you :-)

Thanks I enjoyed watching the two pilots at work. Modern cockpits are very uncluttered looking now. Rgds.....Laurie

Thanks for this detailed explanation. I got the answer a while back, but I believe it was on another video. I still appreciate the response.

gotta love all the knobs and gears and shifters and all that cool guy stuff

My pleasure man. Flap retraction and extension is dependent upon dynamic pressure (in other words, airspeed) so it only depends on speed directly. However, pressure changes with altitude, so in a way - it can be co-dependent on altitude to a degree but not usually since the wing is cleaned up completely within a few thousand feet of altitude in most cases.

Just wanna say thats my dad on the left What an epic pilot thumbs up if you think so to!

You know you don't realize sitting back being a passenger. How MUCH training goes into flying these winged monsters. Until you see a pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit doing there EXTREMELY dangerous jobs of keeping these monsters in the air. And what a pleasure it is to be in such experienced hands. So to ALL the pilots, co-pilots, & flight attendants out there. Thank you for providing us your passengers the pleasure of going anywhere we want to around this vast world of ours.

Great Vid, helped me heaps with correct procedures with my FSX 747-400 nothing like the real thing though

This video is amazing! :D

Beautiful plane beautiful cockpit. Truly a piece of art and awesomeness.

First half you are spot on. The flight above the Left hand seat Captain is flying the sector whilst the Captain on the right is an instructor pilot line training the new skipper on the left (and acting as pilot monitoring)

Man, what a great job. Wish i settled down and flew straight at school now....

the AP can be engage right after the take-off regardless if the flaps are fully retracted or not. i fly the 747 in the same way unless the circumtenses like terrain or so requires manual navigation away from the area.

Great video! :)

Great video.☺️ I just subscribed to ur channel.☺️

Nice Video! Love the 47....

It's the sound of the forward landing gear being retracted. The wheel well is located directly under the cockpit so it's much louder there.

It's SOP to push the throttles up to a certain point, usually about +/-50%. This allows the engines to "stabilize". After a quick scan to verify the engines are all normal, and if doing an auto throttle takeoff, TOGA is engaged. In low b-ybass engines (like the JT-8D ie.727/DC9), there are "surge bleed valves" that must modulate open/closed based on the amount of air passing through the compressor. Momentarily pausing at say 1.2 EPR on a 727, allows the pilot to confirm a valve is not stuck.

Yes. Note both Pilots in this clip are Captains. As a First Officer you are correct I operate/fly about half of the flights I work on.

why is the landing gear halfly diploid? after full up?

Going on 1 in 2 weeks! 12 hr flight. So excited!

It's amazing how they keep track of all those knobs, dials,screens, and buttons.

The 744 Cockpit is Simply Amazing! for a Monster aircraft it has a very simple cockpit very! some cockpits are complicated like the md 80s cockpit! Best Pilots! :)

Up- Off -Down are the settings on all Boeing aircraft up until the 787. The off setting basically cuts off the hydraulic power allotted to the landing gear system when not in use.

Great video!

thanks for posting that and i´d ask a question did the pilots wasn´t fastened the seat belts? i mean the ones that cross from shoulder? and how speed was them to take off? tx

Gostei muito do Video ! Obrigado por compartilhar !

This is a cargo flight between Singapore, Hongkong (which is also where they are taking off from), Anchorage and Chicago. On cargo they usually have only company as passengers if at all, so no problem with access to the cockpit.

You guys are awesome pilots, I'm trying to do the same thing as you guys

I could have watched the whole flight! :D

I flew out of Hong Kong on a Boeing 747-400 2 days ago (as a First class passenger). Seeing what's happening on the flight deck is pretty cool stuff.

You seen this one, Fred? You got these guys beat, man. They have TWO eyes...

correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they supposed to be wearing 5-point seatbelts?

i was really scared of flying even after going in planes 9 times in my life. but after watching the take off it makes me feel better. to know how the experience is.

Very nice video, we will go soon to Hong Kong

Yes. The autopilot is programmed with coordinates and speed and altitude can be set manually. The pilot is mostly supervising the computer pilot and performing take offs and and landings. Of course they could fly the entire distance manually, but robots are great at things like keeping a plane level going 600+ mph at FL400

good video, it would be nice to hear the pilots and ATC

Wow the cockpit view is amazing. Makes e want to fly...

Bluddy'ell, mate, I remember that book very well - one of the best reads I've had in years! Dunno if you noticed, but there's a second part to my last reply down below that got detatched from the main body for some reason.

ok... thanks for your answer ...but i could not figure out how someone could get in the seats without tearing all the knobs off ...to me it was a good question thanks ...by the way i am the pround owner of a quicksilver ultralight aircraft as soon as the new wings are finshed i will be learning to fly it the shop tells me im days away from them being ready

Can someone please tell me how they stear on the tarmac, someone said the pilots use to small wheels to turn left to right.

Do they have to keep on fine-tuning all the times? No ideas what they were doing.

how you increase your flight hour, when you have 400 hour flight ?

Thanks Paul.

Just so its been said in case of misunderstandings. I know that the system philosophy are different from 747 to 737 but still. Is the weather so come that the pilot does not move the yoke or is the AP engaged?

That was a good amount of nosewheel vibration noise at take off. I notice that on some planes coming from the mainwheels too. I guess the flight control surfaces are the more important components on an aircraft, but to neglect wheels rotational imbalance/ bearings is at the least quite surprising IMO.

Wow ! MTOW ! Is that Flap 20 take off ?

I'm a private pilot who also has a good friend(and current Camp Perry hut-mate/ rifle shooting partner) who flies MD-11's for Fed-Ex. He's somewhere north of 20K hours, type rated in many commercial AC's, flew for "legacies" and is an ex-Naval Aviator(there are no "pilots" in the Navy BTW)...that's where we met in 1985. He's told me on multiple occasions how many "new hires"(regionals) in todays modern glass cockpits are stymied with moderate stick and rudder airmanship skills challenges.

Great video, does anybody know how they keep the aircraft centre of the runway, surely not by steering ?

@FSXreality

10 жыл бұрын

Up until about 80 knots, there is a tiller to the side of the captain which controls the nosewheel but not the rudder. As of around 80 knots, the rudder because effective enough to use, and is used for centreline maintaining and not the tiller (since the nose wheel would simply skid and not provide directional control at all).

For me it seems like they engage autopilot long before flaps where retract. Why is it that someone says the flaps must be retract fully before AP engage? I have seen various procedure so is this up to each airline company or is it an airplane standard that makes differences between like 747 and 737?

Which airline is this?

Yeah. When you put the landing gear lever to the "off" position (middle position) it shuts off all hydro to the gears. When you put it all the way up. It uses hydro pressure to raise the gear. And to lower it.

Are there any screens on the side to show airport layout and other stuff like on the B777 and most airbus planes (a340,a330,a380)? great video!

yes right, thank you

makes me want to be a pilot even more after i saw this video:)
