I flew out of San Luis Obispo, California back in October it was the most horrible fog because of the wildfires and regular fog but once we got up above it, it was the most absolutely beautiful sight I’ve ever seen..
Another great show. After flying 2,000,000+ miles, you think I know most of the things you’ve explained. Each and every show shows me just how less/stupid nor knowledgeable I am 🤪
Very informative. Landed today into very thick fog. We must therefore have done an ILS landing. Everyone in the plane was instructed to turn their electronic devices off. I'm assuming this was to ensure no interference with the signals from transmitter. Incredible that the landing is automated. It was a firm landing but it was a safe landing.
Very cool. I never knew something like an A380 could block the ILS signals. I did some really low visibility IFR training. Was nerve racking to say the least. But amazing.
Very interesting one my friend! Is it possible that an ILS approach cannot be performed or has to be aborted due to strong lateral winds or other factors? And does the plane then automatically engage a go-around procedure? Or do the pilots have to do that?
Thanks :) Yes, an automatic landing is rather limited regarding wind speeds, for example the A320 is certified to autoland up to 20kts crosswind, whereas for a normal landing, 38kts are permissible :)
The GoAround has to be initiated manually. The aircraft will try to land. Thats why it is essential that the pilots are monitoring and in doubt, GoAround.
Yeah I was just working on an airport, installing the taxiway lighting, and there were planes landing and taking off about 100 feet away from me, but I couldn't see them, and I was wondering how they were able to do ANYTHING, because I couldn't even see my coworkers about 4 lights down.
On a more serious note, wasn't there an accident when some plane was parked in front of the transmitter and the pilots that were landing received incorrect glide path indicators?
Hmmm I don't know that, but things like that happen from time to time. I had false glideslope indications once when an A380 vacates the runway and covered part of the signal with its huge body while we were on approach. that was quite weird
I am surprised that there aren't more fog-related accidents. If I were a pilot, and someone wanted me to fly a 60-ton aircraft with hundreds of passengers into an airspace where I couldn't see jack shit - I would simply refuse... 😑

that must have looked beautiful!
man, you are doing a great job, all support from morocco, keep it up
Thanks a lot, many more to come! :)

What happens during a low visibility auto land if the auto pilot disengages due to disagreement?
Then you have to go around :)
@@AirspaceVideos ...unless you have sufficient visual cues to to perform a manual landing
3:38 👌 lol

Where do you live that you need a plane to see family?
My family never lives more than a days trip apart, days trip without vehickles that is.

haha - it's not that bad! :)
There aren’t more fog related incidents because the system is very reliable.
Nice keep it up
