I have the utmost respect for all pilots! Their training , knowledge and expertise in flying these beautiful aircraft!! Just wonderful to watch the views from the cockpit! Thank you for sharing these videos with those of us who sit in the back. Thank you for getting us travelers from point A to point B!!👍🏼👍🏼✈️✈️👏🏻👏🏻
I never feel a sadness after I land an aircraft, I've enjoyed the challenge of landing and there is a small bit of relief to have landed safely, but no sadness! While I felt free when I flew more than any other time in my existence, and was used to crosswind landings and unusual varying terrain at my airport in the pattern, I always loved it! You are grateful your aircraft didn't have any problems and got you down safely, but when taxiing in, you just feel glad and you have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment!
This is the first video view I have seen where you can really gauge the airspeed of the 747, and I wonder why. Also, is that area notorious for much wind, because the noise is tremendous!!!
you ever go on one of these videos and see all the comments saying that the pilot is very professional even though landings are routine in the life of an airline pilot and its just another landing for them im not saying the pilots arent professional im just saying that its not special seeing these aircraft land and then commenting on the pilots decent flying capability
Maybe this is a silly question, i love airplane's and aviation a lot, but i know nothing about (airplane) technology. The 747 is a rather old airplane, i believe it's fist flight was at the end of the 60's. The 747's who fly in present time; are they still completely like the origins, with the same cockpit-equipment or do they get upgraded everytime with the newest technology? Many thanks ahead for your answers. And i LOVE 747's, sometimes i seem them landing behind big lines of trees at Amsterdam Airport from a long distance; that image is just majestically.
They are upgraded with new Avionics, new Engines, new Automation. This is why the B747-100 was first, followed by -200, -300, -400, & now the newest -8.
Whatever that is good is kept,eg. the Great systems design. (eg. 747 has 4 hydraulic systems instead of 3 or even two. This increases the safety.) But what can be improved will be improved like what Mr. Kevin said. Also the 747-8 has a more robust landing gear that can carry so much weight and absorb the forces of landing so well.(However the landing gear of the classic 747s were of top quality as well).The 747-8 also has an updated air-conditioning system (PACKS) among other upgrades.However because the design of the 747-400 is so good some of the older tech is still used,it seems they just perform better than the new tech equipment,in short the best of old and new tech in a beautiful,comfortable and high performance plane. 747 is one of the planes that prove that being old doesn't mean one is of low quality(another example is the DC-3),in fact I would fly a 747-200B instead of an A350-1000 (given that both have good maintenance and are flown by good pilots and the 747-200 is equipped with TCAS and etc.)
Hi everyone. There's something I do not understand : on the PFD, at around 4:56, we can see that the altitude AGL (i.e. Above Ground Level) is 1320 ft (displayed in a white color on the upper-right corner just to the right of the "FD" letters). However, the altitude ASL (i.e. Above Sea Level) is about 6600 ft. On the hours I spent on Flight Simulator, I think I recall that the AGL altitude should be displayed everywhere on the PFD. Or am I mistaken ?
The white is a radar altimeter. It is an active rader which gives us a better understanding of the last 2500' AGL. Especially useful for the last 100' and the flare.
Well done gentleman! Perhaps the first time I've seen an "automated landing" didn't see the Captain or Co-Pilot with their hands on the yokes at all. The plane more or less did it all! Amazing what airplanes can do today.✈
I was trained as a commercial pilot in the US and am always surprised to see these videos in which the pilot constantly adjusts the throttle on approach or seesaws the yoke. I was taught to to stabilize the airplane as early as possible then let it fly, and the FAA requires that a pilot make no major changes on approach. Yes, winds change as one descends but normally not enough to require what I'm seeing.
You gotta love modern auto-pilot systems! I had always assumed pilots took full control during landings, but it appears in this video pilots dial in desired heading and altitude and the plane takes it from there. Automobiles will soon have that level of automation
KamakaziOzzie actually in this video, the pilots were hand flying the approach, which is not so common for standard airlines but still its very cool. I think it would be a lot safer if cars could have similar warning systems and redundant technologies that planes have.
Sean Rana I learn something new every day! I had just assumed it was auto-pilot as they were adjusting speed/altitude/heading dials during the approach. Why were they doing that?
@@kamakaziozzie3038 Great question! Usually it is used as a memory item but also to command the flight directors. So technically, you still tune the computer and you follow the "commands" you input into the system, but instead of the autopilot system controlling the flight controls, you do it.

Because, if it is a HOT destination like Johannesburg in the summer, Packs 1 & 3 provide more air conditioning to the flight deck, than leaving just Pack 3 running alone. The answer to your question is: Comfort.
Auto throttle means the throttle is constantly automatically adjusting to match the selected airspeed, assuming it is in speed mode. If in thrust, it automatically sets at idle on decent, meaning the pilot is manually controlling the throttle.
But at 5:15 you could see on the PFD that the A/T was off. AFDS was in FD as well instead of CMD. I think it's the pilot who's manipulating the thrust levers and flying totally manual..
No. You can not just manually fly the glideslope alone. The localizer and glideslope are either both captured by autopilot OR both being handflown manually. However, you can manually fly the localizer alone, without glideslope.
The crew decides who will fly the entire flight, including takeoff and landing, prior to departure. They will alternate flying duties every other flight.
Then you beter watch other videos of landing Aircraft in Cockpit view, perhaps you don't own a PPL... Working in a Cockpit on landing, means both Pilots have their Job on Approach, together they Land....!!
You are not alone. Maybe i should get over my fear of flying by doing a cabin crew course. Im in two minds whenever i fly. One part of me goes "whoohoo" and the other part goes "end me now, i cant deal".
You've got to be kidding! They have the best view of all! Today's large aircraft have more wind-screen (wider) view so you don't see just in front of you. It's a great feeling, coming in for a landing -- always exciting for me from the very first time I ever flew until right now, decades later. Of course you can't see behind you, but you don't need to! I flew in a helicopter once, in a bubble-cockpit aircraft, and I could look right down between my feet and see below...somehow, I didn't like that a lot!

Excellent landing, lovely arial view. I was even clapping at touch down! well done to the captain and his crew.
That slight feeling of sadness after the rush of landing and safe exit as you roll slowly back towards the humdrum existence of life on the ground...

Fuck that. I'd be like, 'I just landed a 747'.
@@bombadilian That is exactly what I think to myself every time!
Slightly steep approach, 100ft at the threshold, but the pilot recovered very well for a smooth landing. Well done
Thank you for uploading this kind of videos :) I´m happy to see, that ist quiet common to fly the approach, even the inbound turn manually.

Vele jaren geleden was ik in Johannesburgo, geweldige plek, ik zou ooit nog een keer terugkomen.....
Fantastic views, nice video! :)
AviationPro didnt expect to find you here😄😄
A KLM 747 video, don't want to miss out on that ;)
Wow! Such skills
Thanks guys,it was awesome flying with you.

such a well aligned landing

Nice landing Guys!
Awesome
great landing!
Now I know why these guys get or SHOULD get paid the big bucks.
Nuh they get paid only 250000 a year and I make 2500000 a year I WIN
Love your videos !! :D
Nice video
Very smooth landing!
Thanks for upload
Beautiful
Was quite windy. I thought the landing was quick - the altitude read outs - 50, 40, 30 were fast.
Awesome video mate!
SUPERBE GENIAL FANTASTIQUE!!!!!!!

The most dangerous part of landing at Johannesburg is the violence and crime :D
You had to talk shit hey..
Look at the height of that cockpit is possibly tall as a three story building XD
9.89 m (32.5 feet) Above the ground. Yes, it is like landing a 3-story building.
Why do airlines retires these legends? 😭
I think like all machines, they just eventually get to the end of their service life. But I feel the same way

Nope. Autopilot and autothrust was disconnected at 0:39. Manual flying and landing by first officer.
No, you are wrong. mlaakie is correct.
noice!!!
Hard to believe when he says '60' knots they are still moving at 111km/h, it looks like they are barely moving lol.
good
You have awesome camera gear
Thanks for the great vids. Are you flying a freighter as I see you parking at the freight section at ORTambo?

@nightstalker Yes, as you stated, low-time pilots are the most opinionated experts!
enjoyed the landing

The good old days when South Africa still had a national airline.
i love it!
can i re upload this vid @The Pilot Channel
I'd be..... I've forgotten which button it is
Were they using autoland? Im not sure.
Hi! Was this all autopilot? Never saw any of the pilots' hands on the controls!
Look again. The First Officer disconnected the autopilot and landed the aircraft.

Why do you only turn Pack 2 off after engine shutdown?
Because, if it is a HOT destination like Johannesburg in the summer, Packs 1 & 3 provide more air conditioning to the flight deck, than leaving just Pack 3 running alone. The answer to your question is: Comfort.
Why do the engines sound like they are running erratically? Wouldn't they run at a particular speed as determined by the throttle?
Auto throttle means the throttle is constantly automatically adjusting to match the selected airspeed, assuming it is in speed mode. If in thrust, it automatically sets at idle on decent, meaning the pilot is manually controlling the throttle.
Michael Klein Okie.. Thanks
But at 5:15 you could see on the PFD that the A/T was off. AFDS was in FD as well instead of CMD. I think it's the pilot who's manipulating the thrust levers and flying totally manual..
And why do you think so?
And didn't he?
Looks like a simulator to me...is it real?
Is it a thing to establish an ILS approach and manually fly the glideslope?
No. You can not just manually fly the glideslope alone. The localizer and glideslope are either both captured by autopilot OR both being handflown manually. However, you can manually fly the localizer alone, without glideslope.
Did the autopilot land the plane? Why not hand-fly it for landing? Does autopilot control air speed? Thanks!
No. You can hear the autopilot disconnect sound at 0:37. The first officer hand flew the approach.
Amazing. THank you.
BassSuperPower is correct.
KLM plane?
Do they seriously not even need to touch the big steering wheel things to land?? That's crazy.
So, what do those pilots do???
How is it decided who will do the landing?
The crew decides who will fly the entire flight, including takeoff and landing, prior to departure. They will alternate flying duties every other flight.
What are the orange beads on the Tee?
Nightstalker is correct, but allow me to expand on his answer. The visual reference is for adjusting your seat to the proper position for flight.
How many engines 5?
I believe is 4 jet engines on a 747
very lekker
Don't you call out Continue, after Minimums, just before landing....??
zwaanjan56 Only if you are on computers
Then you beter watch other videos of landing Aircraft in Cockpit view,

Working in a Cockpit on landing, means both Pilots have their Job on Approach, together they Land....!!
@@zwaanjan56 The answer is YES. That is a standard callout to confirm the pilot is not incapacitated.

it starts repeating at 3:30..
Wont lie we got good pilots in s.a

For a moment I thought it was a simulator.
A lot of wind for them
Stuart Allen Yes, that what airline food does to you.
He feathered it. I could understand the way the throttle were used as a near constant, prob due to conditions at the time.
