Because of the location of the east runways, just prior to Fire Island is the convergence of two, sometimes three wind components of the Anchorage Bowl. This creates at times a very nasty ride from about 5000’ to about 400’. Usually it smooths out in close. Experience: 28 year Captain at Alaska Airlines, Anchorage based.

I am 62 years old, and I am not currently flying, as I had to resign from my airline in order to help my wife cope with her cancer diagnosis and treatment. She is now a cancer survivor. However, the consequences of the treatment have left a lot of physical and emotional trauma in her that I can not even consider going back to work for at least perhaps another year. I am being very optimistic about it, so in theory, I have three years before the mandatory retirement from 121 airline operations. Only time will tell. Sometimes, I think that I have already flown my last flight back in 2022, when she received her diagnosis and our lives were changed forever.

This video was recorded with my cellphone at the very last minute as we descended to Anchorage. I had a GoPro, but the batteries were almost dead because I had been recording earlier during the flight, and I didn't think about the possibility that I could need the GoPro for the landing portion of the flight. As we descended through 6,000 feet, the real hard bumpy ride started. That's when I realized that I needed the GoPro, but I knew that if I had started recording with dead batteries, at any moment, it would shut down my camera and ruin the video. So I did the only thing that I could do, and I grabbed the cellphone and started recording the crazy ride. Thank you for watching my videos. It is much appreciated.

Hero there, Pauliepaul What you are seeing here is an optical illusion, so let me explain. I wanted to use my GoPro when I noticed the bumpy ride started as we descended through 7,000 feet. After I started recording with the GoPro, the batteries suddenly died, and as the turbulence got really rough, the only camera that I had available to me was my cellphone camera, so I grabbed the phone and started recording. I did try to be as smooth as possible, but the bumpy ride proved to be more than my arms and hands could compensate for. Now, the reason why the screens look like that is because the cellphone camera refreshing rate was not in cync with the aircraft's electronics. While our eyes see perfectly stable computer generated pictures, the cellphone camera only sees electronic chaos, as evidenced by this video. This is akin to trying to record a TV show directly from the screen on an old television set. You know the types that had a picture tube instead of a flat TV screen. As you play back your video, you will notice that the video is going to be showing flickering and flashing. Sometimes, the image will be rolling up at a good pace.

Hello John. I am sorry that I did not get to answer the comments posted by many persons like you guys. I have been going through initial training at FlightSafety International to become an instructor for professional pilots. I had to take many courses and the training is very time-consuming. As you know, I am an airline pilot who has 4 years left before my retirement from FAR-121 flying at age 65. What you guys may not know is that my wife was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to take a leave of absence in order to take care of her as she started her treatment. As you guys also know, battling cancer is not an easy endeavor. It takes a toll on everyone, especially on the sick, and it takes a long time to combat and defeat de disease. I needed to find a job to help pay for the monthly expenses since, while on a leave of absence, you do not get a salary. FlightSafety offered me a job as an instructor, and I couldn't pass the opportunity to be able to work and be near my home for obvious reasons. Now, about your dream to become a professional pilot, I could only say the following; always follow your dream until it is no longer a dream. You must go to flight school and achieve your dream of becoming a professional pilot. If you don't do it, you will forever regret it. I knew ever since I could remember that the only thing that I wanted to be when I grew up was to be a pilot. I made my dream a reality, and I never looked back. There is no better feeling in the world than making your dream, your hobby, into a career. Don't let time, money, or people stand in your way to success. Lastly, I will say the following. Never, ever, allow yourself to fail a checkride because it will hunt you for the rest of your career. That single failure alone will create such a bad precedence that it will follow you and will be the difference between having a dream job in an airline of your choice or a job at an airline that no one would like to be enjoyed by. This act alone is like having genital herpes and having to tell everyone you meet because there is no hiding the truth in aviation. Aviation is a very small world, and believe me, you will meet someone who knows someone you know or know you. Besides, everything you do professionally is documented and follows you from your current job to your next interview. Good luck, my friend. Study hard, but have fun and blue skies to you. Thank you for watching my videos. It is much appreciated.

Hello Brian L, If you have a crew member ID, all you have to do is to call the airline dispatch phone number and request a jump seat to any of the flights that are scheduled for the day that you would like to travel. Just remember, about 70% of the flights are international destinations and about 30% are domestic, so you can go and they will even provide your meals. Let me know if you need the dispatch number. Thank you for watching.

Flying to Korea as a serviceman in the 80s was quite a journey. For me, it started at home in NY with first hop to Lambert Field St Louis. Waited to board for quite a while. A 747 took us to San Fran, I was quite happy to get off the plane, get a Coke and have a cigarette or two while they refueled. On to Anchorage arriving at 5AM, remember the polar bear in the lobby. Then on to Yokota Japan. I was always nervous about crossing the Pacific, esp when the Captain came on and said 'we'll be heading out to sea in a few minutes'. It was okay in my 20s, I likely couldn't make that trip today at my age.

I’d love that! I live in the Scottish highlands and my closest airport is in Inverness, 2 hours east of me. Only piddly wee airbus 319/320 aircraft there but it’s always quite a windy landing as you come in over the Cairngorm mountains. I’d love to see a 747/400 before they all disappear. I never got the chance to see a DC10, MD11 or L1011. I feel gutted that BA retired their fleet of 747 ladies. If I win the lottery, I’m buying a ticket on a Lufthansa 748 to the USA and then I’m parking my butt at Anchorage to watch all the gorgeous freight ladies fly in and out.

Hello MJ, You know, you don't have to win the lottery to fly to Alaska, just save your money little by little and then you could go to Anchorage and anchor yourself at the departure end of the runways. You are guaranteed to see everything heavy and some lighter ones as well. The only ones that I am afraid are no longer flying are, the Douglas DC-10 and the Lockheed L-1011, all the others are still at it, and going strong for many many years to come. Thank you for watching my videos.

Hello there Tam Jacobite, These guys did a very good job as you pointed out, they did let the autopilots do their thing, and then at around 700 feet above the ground, they disconnected them and hand flew the aircraft to a smooth touchdown.

Hello there, Rodlightheart. On behalf of the crew, I would like to thank you for your kind words. You should know that we are pilots for a cargo airline, and everyone inside our aircraft is part of the crew as a flight crew member. In this particular flight, the captain flying on the left seat was giving instruction to the first officer who was flying the airplane from the right seat. The first officer was doing what it is called in the airline industry as IOE (Initial Operational Experience). The first officer was a newly hired pilot and was going through his required operational experience, and this flight was his third flight with the company. Subsequently, he was signed off by the training captain on the very next flight that we did, and now this first officer is flying the line as a first officer. You might want to know what my role was during this flight. Well, I was the relief captain, and the second first officer onboard was the relief first officer. We are needed as part of the crew since all we do is to fly long distances worldwide, followed by domestic flights. Again, thank you for stopping by my humble channel and for watching my videos. it is much appreciated.

Very nice landing with all that turbulence. I lived in Canada’s Arctic for 5 years and flying was always turbulent. The summer was especially bad as the rocks would radiate a constant wave of upward heat due to the 24 hour sunshine and unless you got above 25,000 feet you could get thrown all over the place. It was not fun if I was transferring a really sick patient somewhere as all that jostling usually made them sicker or the pain worse depending on what their condition was. The North has some great pilots though.

Very nicely done! You can see throughout the video what a gusty, windy approach they’re flying, yet the pilot is making minimal adjustments with the control wheel. I watch some of the younger, inexperienced pilots making videos on relatively calm wind days jerking, yanking, and banking (causing pilot induced oscillation), and then pat themselves on the back for a “butter smooth landing.” (and all the Microsoft pilots congratulating him in the comments section) THIS is how a real pilot flies a plane.

In the mid 80's upon arrival into anchorage we had wind gusts up to 85mph. We did FIVE go arounds before the pilot was able to set down. I was just behind the left wing and on each attempt that wing was only inches from the ground. I always figured there was not enough fuel to divert to fairbanks, or return to seattle, and the airstrip on base was having same gusts. Great job by pilot and ill never forget the power of those big jets. They hardly ever go full throttle but when he went around you were stuck back into your seat.

When you get one of those flights that make you feel like you are about to die, try to enjoy the flight as these meteorological conditions were expected. The crew is a professional crew, and most importantly, the aircraft can take lots of abuse, more than you think it would be possible. Actually, more than any roller-coaster rides that you could name.

Pilot taxied out to runway, reversed thrust backed plane to end of runway at white stripes. I sat behind the left wing at window seat, saw everything. Pilot throttled up to takeoff power and then some, had brakes locked. Finally plane started to skid on ice while huge chunks of snow blew off ground behind plane. Popped brakes. Thought we would catch “second gear scratch” from acceleration. Passed tower with nose wheel up, mains on runway. Saw the 1000 ft marker go by and still on ground and hauling butt. Finally saw the first of the far end stripes coming and pilot popped plane up off runway about 20 feet then retracted gear. We hung there what seemed forever then slowly climbed out on way to Japan then to Nam. Very interesting indeed. Thought we were gonna crash for sure.

Hello there, Sheryl Curry. Do not fear getting in an aircraft or start questioning your reasons to go flying because every professional pilot out there has been trained to deal with situations just like this one. When a pilot encounters turbulence similar or equal to this one, they cope with the situation at hand and deal with it as best they can. The factory built aircraft are unbelievably strong and flexible machines, although it may not look like they are, but they are indeed strong. Thank you for watching my videos. It is much appreciated.

Distrobing of the flight instruments is not because of the turbulence. It's because their frame per second refresh rate is not the same as the video camera. The same thing would happen to a TV that you try to record on your cell phone. You'll normally see lines through it.
