- Vintage footage of me in 2018 taking you on a flight from Houston to London.
A quick overview of a longhaul Boeing 777 flight from Houston Intercontinental Airport to London Heathrow Airport.
Join me at the airport, on the apron and in flight to get a glimpse of my life in the air!
That was great to see a whole flight thru a captain's eyes. TYVM for producing it for us. :-)
Great video. You are a natural. Would love to watch a video of how you got to where you are now, and of course more videos like this!
Thanks! Perhaps I'll do that - very new on this UA-cam thing despite this video being old now!
Finally a in depth pilot channel about the 777
Not really. There are a lot of VLOG’s about operational flying of the 777 on UA-cam.
Excellent 👍 ( Please disregard the negative comments from critics ) Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏❤️
Love the details! It’s lovely to see the processes and the insights into a flight!
Wow I flow on G-YMMG a few months ago! Great Video Helen
Thank you!
Thanks for share and the nice report...happy landings
Very impressed. Loved the ums etc. Well done!
I just chat to camera - not bothered about my "ums"! glad you love them haha!
Expecting more like this video
Hello Helen. bit different to a DH8 at Southampton EGHI, best regards from WFS refuellers
wow!! terrific content :)
Thank you!
Fantastic video very much appreciated ❤👍👍
Thanks!
Stripes on the shoulder confusion, I thought a First Officer had 3 stripes?
There is a difference between Europe and the USA. In the US first officers wear 3 stripes already at the beginning of the career. But in Europe it is a common principle that at the beginning of the career the first officers wear 2 stripes, and when they get 1500 flight hours they start to wear 3 stripes (and then can be called a senior first officer).
Hab ein guten Flug 😊
Sincere question...I thought 3 stripes was first-officer. What am I missing?
Many foreign airlines utilize the following…..1 stripe for 2nd Officer, 2 for Junior First Officer, 3 for Senior First Officer, and of course 4 stripes for the Captain.
@@ATRFLYER Thank you for the reply...I learned something new.

@@mikep9604 Thank you for the reply...
Hi! So it depends on the airline. Some you get to senior first officer once you gain 1500 hours, others it with a certain amount of years' service, and with others it's when you have passed your command assessment awaiting command (as in my previous airline). My current airline it's after 4 years continuous service. So it's not one answer here!
Superb video Helen. 🙂
Thank you!
Keep going you are doing a great job
Sorry but some of the tires looked horrible. I would have changed at least three tires just on the right side alone.
That crossed my mind as well
You wouldn't have them on your car!....I think there's 12 on the MLG so you can get away with a bit of baldness here and there......
You look different Helen , filmed a while back ? Great video 👍
I should read the description more carefully..2018 😅
How do you guys work out the refueling in the USA, since they work in pounds instead of kilos or metric tons?
It's converted to litres and kg for us!
Hi Helen this is Stephen I have a question for you as a first officer how do you help passengers who have a microphone notice from the doctor
I'm not sure I know what you mean Stephen?!
@@takeflightwithhelen no worries a microphone notice indicates that this traveller is disabled and it allows pilots to communicate with them
Very Cool x
Crikey, actual paper paperwork! I miss that! When did BA go digital?
Yeah it's been digital a while now!
Great video. When you arrive at the aircraft in this video, it's already powered up. Who typically starts it up from cold and dark, the ground engineers? Thanks
It’s never really powered down. Will usually be left with engineers on external power and taken over in the same way
asarsealex is right - very rarely powered down and it's taken over by the engineers
Brilliant
Friend of mine bangs the engine cowl several times with his fist. The idea being that if someone has left a spanner or whatever in there it will rattle and he will hear the vibration. He says over 20 years he has found one spanner...
oh my goodness!
I like your style Helen, particularly because it's apparent you have not adopted the superior attitude so prevalent with BA pilots.
Thank you - but my hairstyle is a lot better now!! haha

Hi Helen
"And um", dang that looks so boring 😪
Lovely... but try to work on your "and um"... it's a bit distracting. Consider getting a lapel mic. It will greatly improve your video production.
You are a pilot?
Oh shut up Spielberg.
Good job. I didn’t know BA was allowing social media posts on their operation.
would join the mile high club with u
