Thanks for watching boss!
These more realistic sims are fascinating as a non-flyer. But I do kind of miss the absolute chaos in some of your older videos. Merry Christmas!
literally just said this after the video. that said the skill of these atc and pilots was still very entertaining to watch
I do miss me some hot air balloons going vertical.
tbh same
Ya that's what got me hooked and couldn't wait for the next
@@BammerD Or doing barrel-rolls at mach 3 ... 🤨😂
Grading vatsim landings is honestly really fun to watch
I just wish I could see them.
I'm an ATC student at the FAA Academy right now and hearing those controllers sequence all that traffic was so cool!
The spectating after landing felt like a dessert I didn't expect. Thanks AFP95! Another banger.
For the record - that was the most elegant sequencing I think I've witnessed since I started watching AFP's vids. IRL, air traffic controllers are truly the unsung heroes in our everyday lives, they don't get the credit they deserve, they're underpaid, overworked and they do this work day in and day out to ensure everyone is safe, happy, and healthy. The next time you find out that someone is a real ATC, hug him and thank him for his service, it's the least you can do.
I haven't seen this much traffic in the air since Christmas 1990 at Washington Dulles International Airport!
Same shit every Christmas huh Mr.Mclane
Isn’t that the year they lost power to all but one runway and a plane crashed due to an incorrectly calibrated glide slope?

Just like iwo jima !
Hello Groundpoops66 I just wanted to let you know, stemming all the way back from your chaotic flight sim x sessions to these dry humor regular flights, you single handedly peaked my interest in aviation.
For the past 11 years I lived in California just managing coffee shop to coffee shop and streaming in off time.
And just 2 weeks ago I moved to Virginia Beach for flight school, just the other day I went up for my first time in a small two seater experimental, and got my first taste behind the sticks. I have no one to thank but you dude, you’re amazing and I’m truly grateful that the algorithm brought us together all those years ago. You’re the man brother, I hope to run into you some day and buy you a beer 👊🏼
One of the most wholesome comments in all of yt. Gotta bookmark this somehow❤
Somebody blog this.
His most popular name to date has been "Groundpound69"
This was so cool seeing all these landings. Everyone, planes and controllers, were fantastic!
As much as I love the videos with all of the shenanigans this is by far one of the best I have seen. Amazing job by the ATC.

America West baby!
ATC was top tier into DC.
That last landing was also top tier.
Thanks for the vid!
that was a great video spectating the landings at the end. VATSIM was killing it on that flight
That’s insane! This is why airports need parallel runways!
And this is just a Vatsim channel. The real world can be a lot spicier.
National has no space. When they first put an airport there they had no concept of airplane traffic volumes that we would have in the 21st century.
@@NorthForkFisherman I know! 😬
IRL DCA is limited to 60 IFR operations per hour, so this is just a "vatsim-ism"
As someone who lives 5 minutes from DCA, there is no space for parallel runways. The one main runway it has is already ridiculously short at 6800 ft and in order to fit a second parallel runway between it and the Potomac it would have to be even shorter.
yo you using the 737 pmdg now lets go.
Also the landing competition esque part at the end gave me a lot of nostalgia. Honestly should bring it back and call it FS20CC.
Anyone got a livery for that yet?
Hey Airforce, I know you probably don't remember me but i want you to go back 11 years ago. I was on an old account then but you commented on a video from costal carolina regional airport to the youtuber Ganon136. I never commented, but i did like your comment at some point. I remember you didn't have a lot of subs back then. I looked back at the old video today and saw the verified checkmark. It's crazy what you have become. Keep up the great work! If you do in fact read this comment please go back to that video and at least look at it.
Massive respect to the controllers ! Feels good to see the VATSIM network ALIVE !
Now that’s professionalism at its finest. Loved seeing how ATC worked the traffic throughout the video.
As someone with a huge phobia of flying (and yet fascinated by airplanes), watching those landings really does relieve some of that fear lol
Huh???! It's a facking game bud.
@@goodbyemr.anderson5065 What's your problem lol
And as someone who lives in DC and has routinely flown into DCA, actually landing there will absolutely reverse all of that relief.
Spec-fucking-tacular. A+ ride from start to finish.
That has to be the busiest airport I have seen so far on the new simulator, props to the ATC keeping the madness under control
Zurich (LSZH) had an event this week where all the holds were full and new flights departing to Zurich were delayed a minimum of 1 hour for clearance.
The sequencing is insane awesome job by all the vatsim staff.
Man, it's awesome seeing Gravelly Point Park right there at the tip of the runway. It's a fun place when they have the river approach from that direction.
man ... all those butters ..... couldn't take my eyes off those landings ... omg ...
Great video. I fly the 737 IRL in the US for a major carrier (but not AAL. Hint: paint is mostly blue!)
We have the “airspeed low” aural warnings installed. I’m not sure about AAL’s configs, but that would be a great heads-up pre-stall (in the event it happens).
For energy management tips, be very careful disconnecting A/T and handling it on your own. For the most part, A/T will hold approach speed on its own around 5 kts past your landing Vref (known as Vtarget). When you disconnect A/T, it’ll actually stay around Vtarget on its own. You don’t want to be exactly at Vref because you’ll be too close to a low-airspeed condition. Very small movements are needed on the thrust levers upon disconnection unless it’s super windy, but usually for that I leave A/T on until last minute for disconnection on landing.
Other than that, great job slowing it down in advance. This thing is a slick piggy and hard to slow down once she gets going. Walking down to that flaps-up bug (210 kts) prior to the IAF is crucial, so good job getting it slowed early with ATC. Keep it up.
12:16 I would have loved to see somebody try to re-enact Ted Striker's horrendous landing in "Airplane!" in this session.
“Oh my TAILSTRIKE!”
*Keeps climbing as if nothing happened*
I've flown in to Reagan quite a few times on the river approach, both day and night. It's a lot of fun in real life. I still would like to see @Airforceproud95 do the Canarsie 13R approach at JFK, at night.
I work in the tower here at DCA -- fun to see this on the sim side with ATC.
didn't realise that your callsign was the start of the american revolution!
I’ve been a pretty big aviation/sim/spotter fan for pretty much my whole life and I’d never heard of this airport until last week… now my timelines are full of it and I can’t get enough of the river visual. Don’t know how I’ve missed it up until now but glad I come across it!
now those were butter landings
I live a few miles from IND, during the summer I love to watch the lights at night with the sequencing. It's always amazing to see the perfect spacing of plane lights as they land.
Those smooth landings at the end, you love to see it
I worked up by Dulles and there were stormy nights when you could see the Reagan traffic back up at night by standing on a parking garage. This reminded me of that.
Wow, everyone handled that chaos really well, from the ATC to the sequencing aircraft.
you know you make good content when i only can see in one eye after surgery and still watch your videos.
Reminds me of when I flew my Piper Warrior across Lake Michigan and entered O'Hare airspace. There were aircraft, a lot bigger than I was, all over the place.
As someone who went spotting at Gravelley Point (right below runway 3) it’s still impressive how all pilots manage to take the hard turn and align with the runway in a short period of time. Props to the realism too
The Biot number (Bi) is a dimensionless quantity used in heat transfer calculations, named for the eighteenth-century French physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774-1862). The Biot number is the ratio of the thermal resistance for conduction inside a body to the resistance for convection at the surface of the body. This ratio indicates whether the temperature inside a body varies significantly in space when the body is heated or cooled over time by a heat flux at its surface.
In general, problems involving small Biot numbers (much smaller than 1) are analytically simple, as a result of nearly uniform temperature fields inside the body. Biot numbers of order one or greater indicate more difficult problems with nonuniform temperature fields inside the body.
The Biot number appears in a number of heat transfer problems, including transient heat conduction and fin heat transfer calculations.
what a christmas present: afp95 video before the end
The top dogs among the VATSIM community, right here.
Both on the ATC side and Pilots side
Man, absolute professional job by ATC. FAA should just hire them.
This was probably the most realistic experience for a popular commercial airport on MFS. I pass by the DFW airport a few times a year and every time its flooded just like this video.
thanks for the pre Christmas upload, boss. makes my holidays even better
Been both in the air and on the ground (there's a fantastic plane spotting area just by Reagan) and the river approach is really neat. Plus the planes are quite low so seeing them zip along the highways is pretty cool.
0:06 Say bye bye to the aft bulkhead 😂
I am a complete noob, and just like to move around in the sky. Seeing clean landings, at night, still amazes me.
The nostalgia from the spotting at the end❤❤
Remember to put your gear to the OFF position once it had been retracted. And also, flaps 2 is not a takeoff configuration in the 737 (some are 1, 5, 10 and 15).
What does that do?
It removes the hydraulic pressure from the gear
@@allamericanwiseass It deactivates the gear system and lets the wheels stay in a fixed position
@@kaan_3516 good idea
MSFS 737 won't let you, it is not a function
That river approach into DCA gives passengers some anxiety let alone the pilots! Good job with sticking the landing!
As a person who used to fly in and out of Reagan a lot this is 100% accurate and you do get quite the sightseeing tour flying in that was only suspended due to how close you are to, well, everything, for a while after 9/11.
The level of professionalism in this entire flight with everyone just makes me happy. Those ATC boys killed it.
Ending bringing me back to the FSXCC days
That landing was so good even the control column was vibrating with excitement!!
Throbbing
-sorry-
Amazing piloting and top notch ATC
My Uncle captained for Eastern and used to tell me he hated the Washington National approach and having to hug the Potomac. Now I kinda see why. Incredible video!
Thought the Washington Monument was the runway for a moment. That would've been awkward...
This is why I fly on flightsim. I enjoy flying into the busier airports and watching traffic landing as you did.
That looks like a difficult approach. Superb job by the VATSIM controllers. I'm a C1 controller in the UK. Even so it's incredible people study so hard to do it.
Honestly could watch you just plane spot for hours! Gold!!!
True for DCA IRL... crazy busy airport!
You’re finally using PMDG/payware!!! Let’s GO!
I think you should do an episode in which you will only be rating takeoffs and landings. I enjoyed landings very much
Maybe next flight to Prague? I would love to see Czech from skies.
Amazing job to those guys in the VTC. They made it look real easy squenencing those planes for landing.
Love seeing my local airport in simulators!
ATC was killing it
The last landing was smooth man ! Any chance you could virtually fly Concorde on vatsim one day ? I'd love to see that happening. Being a first class passenger on AFP airlines is pretty cool ! Happy holidays to you !
that was some amazing vectoring and atc....
I loved the planespotting at the end! It's something I also tend to do a lot on VATSIM at busy airports. Also feels like a bit of a throwback to the drone camera MSFS vids and the landing challenges.
this is why i love vatsim.... lots of smart skill people working together.
coolest in-game shit ive ever seen. yall were great
That was a considerable amount of traffic for DCA! Still blows my mind just how busy Potomac airspace is both virtually and in reality. Excellent job by all. And did I truly hear a Northwest call sign at some point in the sequencing? That warms my heart; Detroit Metro (DTW) is my hometown airport, and was one of Northwest's hubs before Delta bought them.
Love these night flights where we can see other aircraft in the sky, the beautiful city lights, and other airport runway lights. Keep'm coming.
I could watch the spotting all day 😍
Reminds me of what I've seen In real life with the planes flying over to land at DTW years ago. Outside and it's just a constant stream of planes crossing above for nearly a half hour.
That was quality, front to back. The ATC was on-point! And those landings were the cream on that whole thing. Great video, and great work to all involved.
This reminds me when I was flying into LAX from Hawaii. A line of planes descending one at a time through the cloud layer at night. It was beautiful.
Wowzer the ATC was on point and made for an amazing visual for this night traffic.
i would LOVE to see a video of you just grading vatsim landings tbh. the short segment in the end was really fun to watch!
Watching volunteer ATC being absolute hero's is mesmerizing.
You should bring back those landing competitions I really miss those
I must say I really do like the commentary whilst vatsim plane spotting… you make into a sports event. 😂😂😭😭 Please do more
You love to see the professionalism on these servers! Simply Beautiful!
Get that ATC section all the beer. Bravo guys. Bravo.
That is the busiest airspace I've ever seen in this channel (except the steam), good thing you were not declaring emergency due to the tailstrike at the beginining😂
Definitely one of my favorite approaches in the game that I have seen flown by other sim pilots. nice job
Wow that was absolutely bonkers!! I was on the edge of my seat for the last 5 minutes of the landing sequence! Especially with the stall warning during final approval and then more stall warnings during landing!!!! Phew 😅😮💨😅 great work by pilots and all ATC involved!
All those planes circling DC airspace is giving me Die Hard 2 flashbacks. RIP Windsor 114.
Love the realistic ATC all the way to ground.
Merry Christmas, AFP69
Okay, I've watched a lot of your videos, but this one takes the cake and is the best one yet. Everything from ATC sequencing of all aircraft to your excellent pilot skills. Thank you for making these videos for enthusiasts like myself and many others. I am a huge fan of your work!!! Great job, brother!!
The landing judgment was so fun!
With how good some of the controllers are in this game, I can't imagine we will ever run out of ATC Controllers irl.
VATSIM controllers doing Reagan proud! That’s was awesome
Well that was something! Great video as always
Those ATC were on point at DC!!! Also really liked the landing spectating. Hope you do more of those during busy sessions!
Always impressed by your videos. This was a winner. Your radio work is impeccable, even in an American dialect!
7:58 amazing you got into a dogfight during the touchdown.
It blows me away that you’ve only just got the pmdg!
11:24 - I fuckin' lost it "This is a bold move, Cotton."
