This is a superbly informative presentation with excellent graphics. I find the 'tracks' system fascinating. I've seen pilots requesting oceanic clearance in various cockpit videos. How it all works and how the movements of so many aircraft is facilitated, its just fascinating. I see transatlatic flights over my head (and have occasionally been on one or two) and it's great to know how it all functions. I love the acronyms too, especially SLOP!

What an outstanding and easy-to-follow video, explaining a rather unique and complicated process! As a retired airline captain who has flown this oceanic route structure countless times, I had the opportunity to do this when constantly monitoring the scratchy HF radios was the norm and later enjoyed the phase-in of the newer CPDLC technology! Fortunately, I also had the opportunity to teach this concept and our company/airplane specific procedures for over 10 years...wish I'd had this exceptional video to lay the foundation for my students! Keep up the great work!

I see that you went off the usual tracks to get on track to getting your voice back!

What a fascinating way to manage the highways in the sky.✈

He's officially back 😊

Indeed and welcome back. But the stand-in did a fine job too, so all good either way.

You guys should do a video on which airline to pick for New York to Paris like how you did New York to London

There are dozens of routes that I would like Simple Flying to do. New York to Paris is one of them.

Thanks NAT for keeping us safe in the sky

I take it its Shannon and Prestwick. Used to enjoy flying the Prestwick to Chicago as you flew over Greenland and the uninhabited area of northern Canada

Ah! I was wondering what the "wick" part was.

This is an excellent geography teaching resource. The concepts are clearly and simply articulated. Thanks for uploading this. 🙏🙏🙏

Nice vid simple flying!

Great video

Excellent presentation containing most interesting information enhancing our daily lives while traveling. Thanks for compiling this information

Interestingly, thanks to StarLink, we may see a lot more planes communicate with the ground over an encrypted Internet connection.

I wonder how airlines managed these ocean crossings during the propliner era. These are signs we are in the tomorrow people in the past tried to imagine. Impressive.

Excellent

Amazing!

I sort of knew of the tracks thanks to NATS KZread video from 2014 showing all transatlantic flights in a typical 24-hour period. Pretty fascinating! I also found it neat that NATS' video shows how the number of flights generally peak eastbound when night falls on the east coast of North America, and westbound when midday in Europe. Said video which the makers of this video captured some clips: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKR9mZmrY9KnqNo.html

I've only done one trans-Atlantic crossing in each direction: LHR to YYC to the west, and YVR to LHR going east. If one looks at flight tracking software or apps, the tracks become obvious due to the amount of traffic crossing the pond at any given time of day.

Cool info

All the flights from YUL to Europe leave between 18:00 and 22:00, and arrive the next day between 07:00 and 11:00. Unfortunately there are no flights leaving YUL in the morning and arriving in Europe in the evening. There are some at JFK though.

It seems easier for the biorhythm to adjust to the time zone difference doing it that way. That's especially true for the west coast where including time difference you'll arrive in Europe some 20+ hours later and you actually have some time trying to sleep during the flight. Don't have the experience flying from/to the East Coast though. The issue might be here not to run into issues with airport closures at night due to delays You also need to consider that no airline wants to park their plane overnight so they have to do one flight of the roundtrip at night. Also, connecting routes are aligned to these time windows. New York is a big enough market to be able to offer some other routes.

Glad to see Newfoundland makes an appearance! Just a heads up, it's pronounced Noof - un - land with the d being silent depending on the pronunciation. Great job with Labrador!

Can we please get a Pacific Ocean version of this? 🙏🏾

Eu261. You get consumer protection with a canadian or european company.

Shanwick = Shannon, Ireland + Prestwick, Scotland for the uninitiated...

Concorde flew three tracks: M, N, Q.

Do we have the same for Europe ?

No, we use normal airways over Continental Europe just like other places, but there are many different sectors in Europe with constant frequency changes on the radio.

What do airlines pay for this transiting?

THEY FLY

And here is an example flying westbound on a North Atlantic track while two flights were on the track south of our track. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZl3lrSSidXbcrA.htmlsi=2h2XEspNn4Fj_lty
