You can hear him refer to the SNTNA2 departure when contacting Norcal. Most heavies on transatlantic flights use this SID. They take off on the 28's and climb on runway heading to the coast, then make a turn to the north, and then to the east over the golden gate bridge. It's a really beautiful and scenic departure.
Without electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering, none of this shit is possible. Air travel continues to be the greatest marvel of the 20th Century.

I still don't get how anyone can comprehend what the hell is going on with all the chatter and rapid fire instructions that pilots have to process. Pilots are amazingly talented people, it's a mystery to me why there aren't more air crashes considering all the stuff the pilots have to deal with. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but there is no way I could ever do the job these highly skilled men and women do. Big thanks to all the great pilots, their crews and atc personnel.
Upper Left Coast Chelsea Fan if you think this is tricky, try flying rotary ultra low level (below 50ft) whilst working 3 radios and reading a map, oh and calling in artillery or fast air. Ex mil heli pilot.
"My neighbor is a pilot. It takes him 25 minutes to back up to the street and start driving". LOL I know, its an old joke. This is a wonderful video. Used to live next to this departure and it was non stop aviation action.
Guillaume always the best example of what we call (and is very important at every stage of flight) "situational awareness" and confirming the same picture with other crew. Great work always, thank you for the videos, keep them coming!
That was amazing and beautiful to behold! Having never flown, I never thought how beautiful and dangerous runways are at night! Thank you to all the Controllers and Flight Crews that make this magic happen day in and day out! thank you for filming this it was wonderous!
Instrument flying is a specific rating pilots achieve. All aircraft have instruments. Not all pilots fly strictly by their instruments. Most fly in VFR condition using the outside references to judge if they are level.
I've been to San Francisco once in 2017, to see a aerial view of (even if it is in the dark ) where I was in the city is pretty cool and brings back great memories.
I fly a handful of times a year, and it absolutely terrifies me, but seeing things from this vantage point is truly amazing. The people that make air travel happen are quite special.
You sure have to have good ears to be a pilot, man I tell you that's a lot of talking at the same time. Great video though . Did this same flight out of Palo Alto airport in a Piper Lance except lower altitude & in daytime. Thanks to all the pilots sharing. be safe.
@@ryan8374 It was clearly edited if you look at changes in lighting. Approach in trail minimums is not prescribed as 2 minutes though, instead it'll be minimum radar separation and then separation on the runway, so a prior arrival has to vacate the runway before the next arrival crosses the threshold. 3 miles is the common minimum separation (down to 2.5 at some larger airports) on the same approach so at normal VREF of 140-160 knots that's roughly 1-2 minutes in trail because they are rarely right at minimum separation. The 777 is departing on what is usually an arrival only runway in this config so he has to wait longer, probably because he wants the extra runway length for his takeoff performance. That also explain why he has to stay level at 3000 longer after departure due to other traffic that departed the crossing runway.
J'ai une grosse peur de l'avion! Je me suis abo à la chaine car vos vidéos me rassurent énormément, du beau boulot!! Je sais même pas comment vous trouvez le temps pour sortir tout ça en plus de votre taf !!! Juste énorme merci. J'ai poncé la chaine... le triple 7 quelle machine !!!!!!
Usually in San Fransisco, only heavies(A330,340,B777,747.etc) and Super(A380) are allowed to depart and land on 28R.The lighter Jets use different runways to avoid wake turbulence. When an A380 lands, the tower will hold the departing jet for a minute so that the turbulence sets down. After take off, the aircrafts are made to contact NORCAL departure and as this flight is Eastbound(Frankfurt,Paris,London,Zurich.etc), it is instructed to change from runway heading to right heading after reaching 3000' and made to line up with the Golden gate bridge,then another right turn near Golden gate bridge to pass across it. Then the aircraft is made to reach FL130(if no traffic above the aircraft) before leaving NORCAL departure. Then it is made to reach Cruising altitude without any restrictions after entering next airspace.Then,it's a long flight to Europe.
Greetings from Melbourne - did anyone else see the QF 787 parked just after they started their climb :) Nice job Air France and Pilots for sharing! Very Professional:) Merci!
I mean, it's not like I thought flying a plane was easy, but the amount of shit that needs to be done is just astounding! Could watch this stuff for hours on end! Love it!
I have a fear of flying. The first time I flew was 11 years ago, already at age 30. My wife’s family is on the west coast and we’re on the east. Due to that and desire to travel for vacation, I’ve flown about 30 times in the last 10 years. It’s gotten a little easier, but not much. The fear never leaves me. But watching videos like these helps.
Great video! Regarding the ATC exchanges at 3:22 and 4:39, the captain (and the ramp controller in the first example) use the wrong callsign (AF082 rather than AF085). The captain was conditioned to use AF082 from the inbound flight from Paris a few days prior. Helps to write the callsign on a piece of paper and tape it in front of you if you're the pilot monitoring =)
great take off luky you! you had such a great take off over sfo nd the bay why don't you make a complete summary video from your house transfer to the airport briefing, all the flight and transfer to the hotel it would be different and interesting
Guillaume will you one day do Heathrow? I know it’s not the most glamorous airport but would just be great to see the approach from the cockpit perspective. Safe flight to yourself passengers and crew
15:17 those two alternately flashing red lights are on San Bruno hills in South San Francisco, I used to live there and always saw planes taking off 16:35 that contrast between dark on the top and light on the bottom is where Pacific Ocean begins
Encore une belle vidéo, du parking jusqu’à la montée :) . Guillaume, serait-il possible de faire une vidéo lors de la préparation du poste de pilotage (Mise sous tension de l'avion, auto-test des équipements, entrée des paramètres de vol..). Je ne pense pas avoir vu une vidéo dans ce sens, ce serait cool de voir cette séquence. Sinon, comme d'habitude, je mets mon tel en mode avion, et je me régale de tes vidéos ;) .
J’espère qu'un jour tu auras les autorisations nécessaire.. Dans la chaîne d'un vol, c'est le seul élément manquant (sans compter les calculs de centrage, le pétrole, et tout les annexes), avec la mise a l’arrêt de l'appareil pour un Night Stop . Mais c'est déjà bien de sortir toutes ces vidéos, L'aéro est bien plus qu'un métier, c'est une passion (que j'ai partagé dans les soutes :) )

there's just something so calming about watching these. keep up the great work!
these are some of the most informative videos in terms of procedures I've seen on UA-cam Guillaume Laffon always post strong content!great job!
Yes but watch High Pressure Aviation films. They are great too.
i get that sick "this is what i should be doing" feeling everytime i watch a video like this.
Seriously. Also when you see those fighter jet videos
Captain Grizzly Well said Grizzly, I feel your pain.
I get that watching porn
A shame it'll be one of the first types of jobs humans will lose to automation
I feel ya. I wanted to be a helo pilot coming out of high school, but went into the I.T. field instead.
Holy shit I was actually on this plane haha. We landed in Paris 1hr ahead of schedule, nice flight.
Nah man. You could have been on a different plane
They started decent as soon as the last check list was complete. LOL

Is it just me or you can also smell the inside of the aircraft just by watching this video? Something about the sounds and the visuals.
Yeah similar to an airplane
Coffee and jet fuel?
Only sound I could hear was this idiot exhaling as hard as possible the entire video
My cat took a shit right after I started this video so no
