I do like how you used the small baggage ramp instead of the huge one to open the cargo doors. I’ve seen a lot of planes just use a big ramp. They are pretty much wasting fuel... But you did it the good way. Nice job unloading this 747! Edit: On smaller planes they use small ramps due to cargo door size.

@ChicagoAirportSpotter

3 жыл бұрын

It's a lot more maneuverable in the tight gate area and also, the high loaders are needed to start offloading ULDs asap, can't really be wasting time, haha

Great video. It's nice getting a deeper understanding of what goes on with trading trough air and planes in general. Much respect for the everyday impact your crew has on our lives.

Wow, that was seriously amazing! Thanks for bringing this amazing footage to us :) It's so cool to see what you guys do, and especially in those harsh weather conditions, too! I'd love to see more footage like this, even if it's just the taxiing and engines being shut down too!

Another awesome video, being a planespotter myself at Luxembourg Intl Airport and being able to see the cargo handling(Cargolux,Qatar Cargo & etc) from a far, it's nice to see it a POV view. Thanks very much for the vid

Great video Bro. Fellow Ramp rat here. My base of operations is YEG International. You've inspired me to buy a action camera and film point of view video. It's hard to describe to non airport workers what exactly it is we do . It'll be fun to film Marshling, ULD off loading and loading, and finally push back from my TLD push out. Again mad props to you and the rest of your crew. Take care:)

I love how those two people ran and bumped brings back childhood memories

The video gave me lots of memories when the 747 existed, mainly they are saying that is not going in operation anymore. You are one of the bests who saved a video!! Congrats

It has been 9 years since you did this and I have not seen a better skill like that before and on a B747 😮😮😮well done❤❤❤

Excellent a really unique perspective, I notice you kept the orange batons crossed long after the plane stopped, is that some kind of a rule thing ?

@ChicagoAirportSpotter

10 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, I agree. Not too much (or not enough!) footage from this perspective exists. And you're right, I did hold the X longer than usual. On a 747 or similar large aircraft, our rules were to wait until the engines are off as well as the red rotating beacon before setting the main gear wheel chocks. The nose gear chocks are set as soon as the aircraft stops. Then the pilots set the parking brake. Once the main gears are chocked, the mechanic can tell the pilots to release the parking brake and roll back onto the chocks and then set the P-brake again. I wait for the mechanic or one of my fellow ramp agents to signal me to pass that onto the pilots. That's what I did when I placed my wands parallel to each other.

Absolutely awesome. Other than being a commercial pilot this is literally my ideal job. I'm studying aviation at University in the UK at the moment and would FAR prefer to be doing this at Heathrow or Gatwick. This perspective shows just how personal, so to speak, you get with the aircraft and I can only imagine how sweet it must be to marshal in that 747. This may sound weird but this video has inspired me to apply for an airside job like this one this summer. Great video!

First time I marshaled in a 747...it was one of the most incredible moments of my life. I've since done it with MD-11's, 777's, and 737's. You are correct that we do get very personal, in a way, with the aircraft when they are ours on the ground. It's the most satisfying feeling watching them take off once we're done with them. This job is not for everyone, it takes a certain kind of insane mentality to deal with the weather, schedules, and physical aspects, but I do recommend it to everyone who wants to try it out or who wants an aviation career. It's a great place to start off at the airport and get your feet wet. I myself am starting flight school soon, and I wish you the best in your endeavours. Cheers, and thanks for taking some time to watch this video!

Doesn't T5 have a computer screen at the gates for marshaling in larger wide-bodies (Boeings and Airbuses) like they do at T3, T1, and T2 gates for American Airlines and United? Also, what contract company do the rampers worker for? Menzies, Swissport, Total Airport Service? I ask because I work as a Fleet Service Clerk/ramper with American Eagle Airlines/Envoy Airlines at T3, G gates. I never seen larger wide-bodies get marshaled in by human rampers because the planes are too tall. I've only seen American Eagle and United Express get marshaled in by human marshalers since the planes are small and short, ERJ-145, CRJ-700, CRJ-200, and EMB-175.
