Most chill landing conditions I have seen yet. Sunny, clear, over water and led by long runway guides to the landing. The San Francisco International Airport itself has nice vibes as well. Flew into it many times when I lived there. Thanks SuredT!
Thank you so much for this video. For a Briton like me who flys regularly into european, and occasionally to Florida and Australia, this video was a supreme 'from-the-cockpit' eye-opener. The 'chatter' from the crew and the relentless noises from the engines and that experienced by the crew from the cockpit made it a very realistic experience which I have 'experienced' six times, on and off since yesterday evening. Thankyou SureT.
As a former truck driver and current locomotive engineer I am always fascinated by these transportation profession related videos. I would love to be an airline pilot someday
I love this video. I first flew into SFO from YUL in 2000 to meet my future wife. At one point during the landing, the KLM 747 passes by Foster City on the left where my mother in law lives. Many times I have stood in her driveway and watched the planes, KLM and others, come in to land. I still do the same thing whenever we go to visit. This video brings back so many happy thoughts. It's nice to know what's going on inside the plane that I am watching from the outside. Thank you very much
the tower gives the final sidestep call, but when approach control clears you for the approach, they can say "cleared ILS 28L approach, expect sidestep to runway 28R" its just a way to speed up ATC traffic flow because they can just line everyone up on one localizer and then have them sidestep if its a clear day like that one was
Great job with the videos and thanks. My Dad was a TWA 747 & L-1011 Captain, and watching your videos takes me back to a younger day when I rode up front with him before he finally flew west. I would also vote for video all the way to the gate. Ten minute videos are fine with me. Thanks again for the ride and for some great entertainment on these cold Nebraska nights!
Wow so cool! Thanks for posting it! For anyone who ever has a little time to spare at SFO, in Terminal 2, near the connector to Terminal 1, is this HUGE screen that shows air traffic at SFO. It is a time lasped computer graphic display that shows all the planes landing, taking off, and transitting, through the airspace near SFO.
What a smooth taxi... All your flights are so flawless.... Congrats once again... I finally was able to land on the simulator the 747-700 thanks to your vids..
In Microsoft Flight Simulator, the whole scenery looks exactly the same as in this video... AMAZING ! Very smooth landing, the altitude call outs... when he reached 10, it took him 3 seconds to touch down... 3.3 feet per second... Very nice job
@JustAnOrdinarySimmer Side step means we switch to the parallel runway, because for some reason that's more convenient for the air traffic controller, or we can ask for it when it's more convenient for us (less taxi time for instance).
Great video! I grew up up the hill from SFO in San Bruno. Been to all those places you flew over to watch aircraft flying into SFO. One time I don't know why but a B-52 Bomber came in for a landing and landed then took off again. May have had problems. Thanks for sharing! Love it
On the ND you have a GS readout. We use this readout to monitor taxispeed on the ground. Max 30 on straight taxiways. Max 10 during 90 degrees turns. Max 5 during turns on wet taxiways.
Thank you very much for sharing this view - wonderful! To see landing from dead on instead of 'little building's and such flying past horizontally....amazing :)
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. They are some of the best on UA-cam ! Very Clear images and no camera trepidations . Awesome. You need to post some videos about how aircraft parking is undertaken after a landing. Would be nice !
On a heavy jet you first flare the aircraft and then you reduce thrust, so 10 ft AGL is the normal altitude. When you fly faster than normal (for instance because of wind speed and/or gusts), then you reduce thrust somewhat earlier than 10 ft. So it depends.
Sidestep procedures are usually used for a couple of reasons. The first would be if one runway had an instrument approach and the other didn't, and the weather (not here) required the use of the approach. The other is when spacing breaks down between the aircraft on approach.(also not here) So maybe it was offered to facilitate an easier exit of the runway or taxi route to parking. Easy move, either way. Especially in SVFR-
i would like to see a video of you pulling up to the gate with a ground worker marshalling your plane to the dock, but your take off and landings are PERFECT, i have them in my faves!!!
@jbskies At 03:40 I say in Dutch: don't look at ILS indication, you'll get a new frequency from me. So the answer is: when we have time we switch frequencies and use the PFD again. If we are too low to do this we fly purely visual. And yes we have to possibility to program 2 routes in the FMS , so we can program a second runway as backup
@SuredT Great video! Question on the side step: Did you switch to 28R localizer frequency and track on PFD when side step was issued or just purely fly visual without PFD reference? Is it possible to program FMC to put 28R localizer as the backup and switch it at the last minute? or it's too much trouble? thanks in advance.
Gebruikelijk is om alle middelen die je aan boord hebt te gebruiken tijdens een nadering op zicht, dus ook de ILS. Cleared for visual approach betekent (in de USA) dat je als vlieger daarna zelf verantwoordelijk bent voor separatie met andere vliegtuigen. Het betekent niet dat je alleen maar visual mag vliegen.
I live in San Jose (about 45 min drive south of San Francisco) the Bay area, as it's called, is one of the most high air traffic areas in USA that's why so many plane are delayed if yiou look at sky view of the bay area it literally makes a rectangle of SJC, SFO, OAK, and PAL even though Palo Alto doesn't get that many planes...and there is one more runway that's only for Cessnas in San Carlos
What kind've mount do you use for your camera and what kind've camera? My dad just upgraded to the 747-400 for Delta Air Lines!! Great Video! Favorites!!!
@piliage Just a small correction if I may: Gatwick is a single-runway airport, and at Heathrow one runway is used for landings while the other for takeoffs, alternating once a day at 3pm.
goed om te zien!!! Dat mag wel meer;). Maar heeft u nog tips voor het taxien?? Bij mij is het zo slecht en wat de snelheden zijn bij het taxien?? mvg Thomas
At San Fransisico, ATC give out sidesteps like theres no tommorow due to the traffic loadings comming in from all directions. My last trip into SFO involved a sidestep on this approach, although we came in from the west, not the east like this aircraft. It's not generally a tricky manouver to accomplish but it just adds to the workload on finals when the crews concentration should be on other things.
love your vids, short but informative. Hey what speed do you taxi on the straights and on the turns? And also how do you know your speed if the PFD only starts at 40?
Hi captain. First of all thank you so much for your interest in show us this magnificient machine in action. And now one question. You disconnect the A/P at the time you were apparently cleared for visual app. But just a few seconds later the A/P disconnect aureal signal can be heared for a second time. As far as i know the only way to hear this alarm after an A/P disconnection is when the A/P is engaged again and then disconnected one more time.. isn´t it? Excuse my english please. Carlos.
This vid probably shows the condition at SFO when the Asiana 777 accident happened. The only difference is they were on final to 28L. Really not to lay blame on anyone about that unfortunate occurrence, watching this vid makes me feel the crash should never happened.
I think I flew a United to this airport in 1999. It may have been a different airline. Anyway, it was in the daytime, and as far as I'm concerned , my ass dragged in the water. We came in much lower, and my Butt made the same goofy noises, I heard before this one touched down. Or as a friend used to say, Mine was bitin' buttonholes in the seat. I have flown numerous times in a De havilland Beaver with floats, and never got the least concerned. One of the crashes at SF, was at least partly due to the captain wandering around the cockpit, according to reports I read. He was supposed to be in the other seat, but was not. Maybe the report changed, but I read that a few weeks after, watching it on the news 50 times. Whoever was flying was too low, maybe due to an illusion. By the time they started trying to regain altitude , it was too late.
You're videos are awesome man, i just gotta ask one thing. What cost index do you KLM 747 pilots put in? Or is it depending by the range of the route? Thx
Geweldige video weer hoor! Mooie landing (altijd he bij KLM!), je video's worden steeds langer/beter! Keep them coming! Is het mogelijk volgende keer een piekje van de cockpit van binnenuit de laten zien in-flight oid?
I have noticed that after a plane has landed, someone (pilot or co-pilot) starts counting down from 100. What is that for? or What is the purposes of that? Curiosity only. Thanks
No, just Radar vectors for a visual approach on 28L and later a sidestep to 28R. Thats why we followed the ILS. On a Quiet Bridge you can not follow the localiser because of the offset approach path.
Beste SuredT, prachtige filmpjes heb je hier neergezet. 4 jaar geleden dezelfde trip gedaan on KLM MD11, kan me alles nog herinneren. Vertrek SFO naar Amsterdam zelfde verhaal, schitterend gewoon. Van Virgin Atlantic wa hier ook zo'n mooie weergave te zien van ITTV, maar die zijn helaas verwijderd, zal wel een copyright thing geweest zijn of zo. Die waren prachtig, alles werd uitgelegd. Misschien krijgen we die nog wel weer een te zien. Bedankt voor de mooie bijdragen. Groeten, Stephan
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, I'd NEVER been smart enough to do anything like this, but I've always been fascinated by aviation and missed my opportunity due to my stupid eyesight. I enlisted in the military after High School and got declined. Since 1996, I've wanted to be a re-fueler for the Air Force. I never got the chance. Now, I drive a bus. Oh well, folks can dream.
I've flown into San Francisco a few times and it always seems like you're going to land in the water but then the runway appears at the last second! lol
side STEP or side SLIP... or do they mean the same? is it where you bank the aircraft in 1 direction, lets say RIGHT for this case, and turn the rudder to the LEFT??
@SuredT do you remember the last time you got cleared for a 1L/R or 10 L/R approach? I fly into SFO every week and always get the tip top, quiet bridge, or FMS (i think this is only a united airlines approach). I'm dying for a 1L/R but hear it's only in tough conditions (all the more fun)! If so, which approach do you find more enjoyable? I would assume 1L/R?
what exactly is the landing procedure for KSFO? What was the point of the sidestep? do they ALL sidestep at that exact point and is it a normality? I've seen landings being made parallel on both right and left.
rofl! you taxied around for your viewers. kool. i love how simple the tarmac setup is at KSFO. but do you measure in kilometers per hour or miles per hour?
Exactly. Drive on a 6-lane divided highway at 70mph with no trees nearby or other land reference points and you'd think you were doing 30. Drive 70mph on a narrow two-lane road with trees just 10' on either side of you and you'd think you were doing 100. It's the same at flying at 35,000' and looking down and thinking you are barely moving. Get closer to the ground and that 500mph+ ground speed gets a LOT faster in perspective. Everything is relative.
@Sokeresa This time I did note that he said "speed brakes armed" earlier in the approach. So you're right - the post-touchdown readout is to confirm the spoilers have in fact deployed. He hands control over to his copilot earlier on, I think. Didn't notice that before. And she's the one who confirms the decision to land, if I hear correctly.
I have a question when do you usually reduce thrust to zero before touch down, Ive heard at 50 AGL and Ive heard at 10 AGL which one is it or does it depend?
One question sir. At :47 you disengage the autopilot. And, at 1:45 the PNF announces "Localizer captured". Since you were on the visual, is it still proper procedure to call "Localizer Captured" even though the aircraft was not being controlled by the localizer?
Most chill landing conditions I have seen yet. Sunny, clear, over water and led by long runway guides to the landing. The San Francisco International Airport itself has nice vibes as well. Flew into it many times when I lived there. Thanks SuredT!
I'm so amazed that so big things can be guided so perfectly into an airport, like the localizer and the ILS and so on, awesome
Thank you so much for this video.
For a Briton like me who flys regularly into european, and occasionally to Florida and Australia, this video was a supreme 'from-the-cockpit' eye-opener. The 'chatter' from the crew and the relentless noises from the engines and that experienced by the crew from the cockpit made it a very realistic experience which I have 'experienced' six times, on and off since yesterday evening.
Thankyou SureT.
As a former truck driver and current locomotive engineer I am always fascinated by these transportation profession related videos. I would love to be an airline pilot someday
Best landing I've seen in my life; how can it be done better?! That was truly amazing!

What a smooth taxi... All your flights are so flawless.... Congrats once again... I finally was able to land on the simulator the 747-700 thanks to your vids..
I've flown KLM across the Atlantic on that aircraft and the flight was great, service superb.

ive been waitin ages for you to post another video.. you have the best landing videos ive seen.. always a pleasure to watch!
Both times I flew and the plane landed at SFO, it was at night. Cool to see this from the daylight. Thank you.
@JustAnOrdinarySimmer Side step means we switch to the parallel runway, because for some reason that's more convenient for the air traffic controller, or we can ask for it when it's more convenient for us (less taxi time for instance).
been in and out of that airport so many times i actually know the flight paths of arrivals and departures
Great video! I grew up up the hill from SFO in San Bruno. Been to all those places you flew over to watch aircraft flying into SFO. One time I don't know why but a B-52 Bomber came in for a landing and landed then took off again. May have had problems. Thanks for sharing! Love it

It's a really good approach and landing from a Commander (or maybe Chief Pilot?) who fly about 20 years the Boeing 747!
Thank you very much for sharing this view - wonderful! To see landing from dead on instead of 'little building's and such flying past horizontally....amazing :)

So it depends.
This video seems to indicate that SFO's runway 28R is in need of resurfacing - or the tires on the landing gear are warped.
Great video non-the-less.
This is quite mesmerising and relaxing to watch.
@etuberalism They do deploy automatically when symmetric gear is on the ground AND when the thrust handles are in the up position.
Dat is erg mooi. Yes, Dutch crew. The Bay Area was my home growing up.
Sidestep procedures are usually used for a couple of reasons. The first would be if one runway had an instrument approach and the other didn't, and the weather (not here) required the use of the approach. The other is when spacing breaks down between the aircraft on approach.(also not here)

I don't suppose it would be possible to see some more of these? Absolutely terrific!
Fantastic What a smooth landing. Fortunately there was no turrbulance. Wonderful video thanks to the cockpit Crew

Gosh I wish I could fly. Thats all i ever wanted to do in life but then I broke my back. Ugh! Atleast I have videos like this i can watch.
these are all great videos... ive always wanted to see what it looks like from an actual cockpit... keep up the great work
@jbskies At 03:40 I say in Dutch: don't look at ILS indication, you'll get a new frequency from me. So the answer is: when we have time we switch frequencies and use the PFD again. If we are too low to do this we fly purely visual.

always love coming back to SFO
Wow, it's beautiful. I miss California!
Hi captain, thank you for these beautiful video, what a great idea to see in my passenger seat the moment of landing and taking off.
i honestly think you have the best job in the world!
YES! I'v been waiting for another video for ages! Superb as always!!! Loved it!
GOLDEN GATE FOUR, for Visual 28R?
Great landing B 747 is also greatest plane ever built.
@piliage Just a small correction if I may: Gatwick is a single-runway airport, and at Heathrow one runway is used for landings while the other for takeoffs, alternating once a day at 3pm.
Are you aware of your gate you must park at before you land or do you find out after the ATC tells you when you taxi off the runway?
Great video keep them coming i love your vids so much please do keep them coming
Fantastic! Such a monster landing so perfectly. Too bad so many of the 74's are going out of service.
i could watch 10 mins of every landing you do... keep the videos up man! that was a long spell without... 5/5 stars as always
goed om te zien!!! Dat mag wel meer;). Maar heeft u nog tips voor het taxien?? Bij mij is het zo slecht en wat de snelheden zijn bij het taxien?? mvg Thomas
My second most favorite approach in the Whole Wide World. SFO 28R
Simply awesome! Love the in-video comments, very helpful! Thanks for sharing.

hoe lang ben je al een 747 piloot en hoe lang heb je er over gedaan om er één te worden P.S. fantastische landing.

You're videos are awesome man, i just gotta ask one thing. What cost index do you KLM 747 pilots put in? Or is it depending by the range of the route?

Another 5 star landing. Thanks for sharing!

its cool you included the taxiing at the end...keep it up, 5 stars!!!
you sir, are AWESOME, glad to have you in the skies

@SuredT I had no idea! Thank you for the answer captain. Nice job with the camera.
I've flown into San Francisco a few times and it always seems like you're going to land in the water but then the runway appears at the last second! lol
I guess it's a good idea to keep the second ILS freq. on SBY at KSFO! Your FO did a nice landing BTW! Nice work!
side STEP or side SLIP... or do they mean the same? is it where you bank the aircraft in 1 direction, lets say RIGHT for this case, and turn the rudder to the LEFT??
@SuredT do you remember the last time you got cleared for a 1L/R or 10 L/R approach?

bedankt ik hou van je videos lange tijd geledne. hopenlijk komen er nog!
@jeppniz You start reducing reverse thrust at 80 kts to have idle reverse at 60 kts, so FS is right.
A video camera is not an electronic device. It does not receive or transmit any radio signals and that is the criteria.
Thks a lot for these videos, really that's awesome
what exactly is the landing procedure for KSFO? What was the point of the sidestep? do they ALL sidestep at that exact point and is it a normality? I've seen landings being made parallel on both right and left.
Thank you, that was fascinating to watch!

that's what my relatives keep telling me. . .
One of the best!! Another favorite for me
...you have the best job ever mate...
@Sokeresa This time I did note that he said "speed brakes armed" earlier in the approach. So you're right - the post-touchdown readout is to confirm the spoilers have in fact deployed.
He hands control over to his copilot earlier on, I think. Didn't notice that before. And she's the one who confirms the decision to land, if I hear correctly.
I have a question when do you usually reduce thrust to zero before touch down, Ive heard at 50 AGL and Ive heard at 10 AGL which one is it or does it depend?

so, when you side step, you swith the ILS frequency for the new rwy or are you just manually doing the approach?
Awesome video, thank you. My favorite aircraft, landing my favorite approach into my favorite airport.
SuredT= living the dream.
Nice Video!!! Love KLM. ooit hoop ik ook in zo'n grote 747 te mogen vliegen bij klm!
Another excellent video. I love cockpit views on landing. I only wish they would allow visitors back in the cockpit :(
beautiful weather, thanks for posting
How about that second HOLDSHORT line that he passes thru????? I guess we have to wait when is a solid line right???? Thanks for the video.
never say bad to the pilots, but brilliants!! 100 points for the pilot!! yeah!!
Wow man, you are an amazing pilot.
