  • In this video we bring you the full 787 Dreamliner cockpit experience as Gabe Leigh flies with Etihad Airways in the jumpseat from Abu Dhabi to Osaka Kansai International. Over the course of 50 minutes you'll see just about everything that goes into completing a flight on the 787-9, from pre-flight discussion to taxi and takeoff, navigating busy airspace leaving the Gulf, looking at the flight plan and weather enroute, changing from feet to meters over China, and finally descending into busy Japanese airspace and the approach into Kansai International looping in over Osaka Bay.
    It’s Etihad’s 20th anniversary this month - and that coincides with a period of expansion and development at the airline. New routes are being added, the beautiful new terminal has just opened and more. It was really nice to get an insight into their operations, and meet some of the people that make up their team, at this exciting time. And of course, especially to get to spend the flight, on one of those brand new routes, in the flight deck. What an incredible experience this was, with an excellent flight crew, and we can't thank Etihad Airways enough for helping to put it together.

    I was really impressed by this. This was not just another flight from A to B from the cockpit, but the Captain went out of his way to explain everything from HF and CPDLC in action, Chinese airspace deviations, and all that in a very clear and concise way.
    Gabe and FR24 managed to film and include clips of rare insights behind those rugged cockpit doors that separate the average Passenger from that world upfront.
    Thank you Gabe, and thank you FR24 team for making this happen!

    The Boeing 787 cockpit looks absolutely incredible! And the Flight crew were amazing and professional. I especially appreciate the Captain taking his time to explain the various aspects of the flights. As a fellow Aviation enthusiast that was very enjoyable to listen to and I hope you get to do more of these flights from the cockpit in the future.

    Those HF frequencies are crazy strong. I used one flying from Santa Maria to Shanwick airspace last week (Western point of Europe) and we were picking up the radio chat of Mumbai really clearly. TJ is exactly like every other Irish captain out there! I'd say hes a sound lad to fly with

    I worked for 9 years for Etihad as an ops controller and later flight safety officer……I flew on the maiden flight of A6-MLB into MAN……..Also, I remember a Thai captain friend of mine Stan always used to comment how he used to have to double check his fuel figures as the 787 was so incredibly economical!!…..( previously flown B777 and A340s)

    Being Irish myself, I clocked Captain Horan’s Irish accent straight away - I wonder is he a relative of the late Mgr James Horan, Parish Priest of Knock in County Mayo in the West of Ireland, who built Ireland West Connaught Airport? And currently working for Ethiad, does he fly into Dublin Airport or into here in Manchester from Abu Dhabi? He’s probably also worked with our national carrier Aer Lingus (Shamrock) or Ryanair as well 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️
