lufthansa 747-400 takeoff from frankfurt to san francisco a340.net 747

Landing St.Maarten from cockpit 747. After nosewheel landing camera touched windshield causing crackling noise. For those viewers who made comments (or new viewers who are thinking about making the comment) that this approach is too high and/or too fast or whatever else you might think, here some free ;) flying lessons from someone who's flying B747's for 20 years: On an approach on instruments a B747 should cross the runway threshold (= the piano keys) with the main wheels at ± 35 ft above threshold. The 747 is so big that at that point the altitude of the cockpit is 35 ft higher, so the cockpit is at ± 70 ft when main wheels cross the threshold. On a visual approach, as is the case here at St.Maarten, we have to have some more margin. Normally the pilot aims to see the runway threshold disappear under the nose at 80 ft (mind you, the main wheels are at that moment still NOT above the threshold) to have sufficient main wheel clearance. If you look at the video and notice the altitude callouts, you'll see the threshold disappear under the nose at the call 50, so actually I am a bit too low in stead of too high. (Actually I am only too low for a visual approach. If you look at my landing at JFK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4YoXyYBbYA&feature=user you will see that I cross the threshold also at 50 ft, which is normal on an instrument approach. Note: the automatic altitude callouts you hear on this video are Radio Altimeter altitudes. The Radio Alt is zero when the main gear is on the ground with struts extended.) Now, there are quite some viewers who think we landed too far on the runway. What follows from earlier explanation is this: We approach a runway at a three degrees approach angle. If main wheels cross the threshold at the correct altitude, the main wheels will hit the runway at approx 900ft (300m) behind the threshold, that is, if you don't flare the airplane. If you look again at the video and wait till you hear 50,40,30,20,10 and see the solid white markers, they are at 900ft behind the threshold and the plane touches down right behind them, because I did flare the airplane. (Passengers seem to hate hard landings!!) THIS IS THE NORMAL TOUCHDOWN POINT FOR A B747. The FCTM(=Flight Crew Training Manual) from Boeing says: flare distance is approx 300 to 600mtr (=900 to 1800ft) beyond the threshold. So, please, stop nagging about this landing being too far on the runway. And then something about too fast: On this approach the 747 weighs about 260.000 kgs. The required approach speed is then 150 kts which is about 175 mph or 280 km/hr. So what about TOO FAST? If we fly slower, we will fall out of the air!!

No music soundtrack version. This is a landing at the new Hong Kong airport CLK. Yes, it's a bit of a firm landing ;) It's a training flight, and yes, I did flare, just not enough. It was landing #2 or #3 in the plane. Idle reverse because it's so light and the engines are big enough to slow it down. http://www.airboyd.t

Follow along: http://www.tinyurl.com/5ctcyw Full length version of the Day IGS 13 approach to Kai Tak. Video opens on cockpit instruments showing the approach, some views of the area around Hong Kong, the landing and a long taxi in. This edit is with ambient noise. A short version of just the approach and landing is also available.

A Boeing 737 cockpit view of the approach and landing into the Tegucigalpa airport located in Honduras. Tegucigalpa (TGU) is considered by many to be one of the world's most dangerous airports due to; the steep approach required; elevation; short, sloping runway and high terrain in very close proximity.

IGS Runway 13 in the rain, with long taxi. Opens with the lead-in lights barely visible in the rain and then we break out. I replaced the audio to comply with YouTube policy.

Friendly Fire Cockpit Video Iraq 2003 Lance Corporal Matty Hull, 25, from Berkshire, England was killed in Iraq in 2003 by (un)friendly fire from U.S fighter jets. For years UK/US security denied the existance of this cockpit video but here it is, finally revealed. IMHO. It's all too easy to blame the clear incompetence of the U.S pilots. YET AGAIN this shabby, amateur Labour government must be held accountable for failing YET AGAIN to equip our troops with up to date equipment. It seems rather than investing in advanced 21st century communications equipment that would have prevented this, they relied on the cheaper alternative of using the colour orange. Pathetic! I hope the facts of this aspect don't get buried in the typical knee-jerk anti-American jingoism that is so trendy in Britain these days. PS - Please don't vote Labour again, it's embarrassing. The P.G Tips monkeys could do a better job (and are far more aesthetically pleasing than Prescott)

Season 9 Episode 02

This is the cockpit view when Boeing 767 of All Nippon Airways flight 691 departs from Tokyo International Airport to Yamaguchi Ube Airport. このビデオは全日空６９１便羽田発山口宇部空港行きのボーイング７６７型機コックピット内から撮影された離陸時の模様です。一般人のコックピット立入りが許されない現在では貴重な映像だと思いますので、最後までごゆっくりとお楽しみ下さい。

In this video you can observe a pretty complete Boeing 737NG cockpit preparation procedure before flight. Enjoy it!

As requested. A shorter version of the approach into Kai Tak without the music. Again, the lead in lights are barely visible through the rain as the video starts and then we get a great view of the checkerboard through to touchdown. This approach is in the rain. The other video is a little clearer but still grey out.

TakeOff from St. Maarten as seen from cockpit 747. To answer some remarks from viewers: Why is T/O so fast and short? Well aircraft weighs only 260.000 kgs (max = 396.000kgs) in this T/O with only 30.000 kgs of fuel for a flight time of 1hr15min to Curacao (you can see the landing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5ZLUP1Aroc ). With this low weight Vr is 125kts and climbout speed is 155kts(=V2 + 10kts) Why is V1 and Vr called so close? Because, when a/c is very light you have to increase V1 to the Vmcg(=Vmin control ground)speed. If you don't and start flying below this speed and an outboard engine fails, you are not able to control a/c. That's why in this T/O V1 is the same as Vr. Yes, it's a 747. No, it's not fake.
