For those that are interested the FMC on the -8 is a central point of communication that cross talks to the FCC, flight control computer, the YSM yaw stabilizer module, the MMR, sub-component GPS/ILS, and the ADIRU, air data inertial reference unit. The FMC also control the throttles. All those computers talk to the EIU, EICAS interface unit which sends the informatiom to the DU, display units, for the crew to view their route on the ND, and pitch roll yaw, and ILS on PFD. The 400 is very similar with some differences.
Thanks captain! I really love how you put so much time into videos. And in my opinion there some of the best B747 videos on youtube. Thanks, and keep up the good work :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I never knew that the throttles could move by themselves. I was under the impression that manual input was always used.
Thanks Captain Obet. I have a question. When flying at high speed, Elevator is the only flight control required more force input to the column to get the same elevators deflection. On control wheel and rudder pedals, there is no change. Am I correct? Thanks.
@@pilot_obet Thank you Captain. The video shows A/P put idle thrust for descent. What kind of situation do pilots use speedbrake lever in descent phase? Thanks.
Thanks for the video, this is way out of my league lol because I'm just an student pilot but I don't guess it never hurts to learn about something you love; I have always wondered about this tho haha.
Is it possible to make PA on your boomsets instead of handset? I find it quite complicated when you have your headset on with the microphone then grabbing the ha dset to talk
Because the top of descend tells the captain how many miles are left prior to descend initiation. So, with that in mind why would you have to divide by 3🙂? Please let me know.
The descent slope is 3 degrees angle that’s why. If we descended at 90 degrees for example, the aircraft will descend straight down vertically. It would be multiply by 0 essentially- straight down
Very nice. I have two challenges i'm offering out to you. If u have the time to do so. 1st is How has aviation changed your life? & 2nd Say the phonetic alphabet in 30 sec. or less. If you accept both, just put #themichaelcartershowchallenges in the title or description. #salute my gud brotha!!!!!!
A big hug from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, captain!
I like b747 and dc10-30 also!
Thank you captain!
Thank you in Rio!
Superbly covering all the details in a short span of time. Hats off captain & expecting a podcast of how the pilots cope with the different timings

Thank you captain very educational video
I noticed the EICAS showed the APU as running.
Is the APU normally turned on in flight prior to landing?
Always wondered ! Not anymore ! Thanks Captain !

Thank Mr Nice- my pleasure to share knowledge 😊
That was a very informative video, Captain. Thanks for sharing. 😃😃
Well explained, thanks Captain!
Thanks Captain, very informative. 🙏🙏💙
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I never knew that the throttles could move by themselves. I was under the impression that manual input was always used.
Thanks captain. Is it possible to show the procedure and control inputs when landing without a nose gear or one of the mains?Thank you.
thank you captain , truly well understood great flying
Thanks 😊
i watched this video again and its just great
Thanks Elena
State of the art...
Well done explanation, captain :)
The explanation about Rapid descent procedure would be good
Thanks Captain Obet. I have a question. When flying at high speed, Elevator is the only flight control required more force input to the column to get the same elevators deflection. On control wheel and rudder pedals, there is no change. Am I correct? Thanks.
The stabiliser is also moveable and so are the elevators.
@@pilot_obet Thank you Captain. The video shows A/P put idle thrust for descent. What kind of situation do pilots use speedbrake lever in descent phase? Thanks.
Thank you Captain ... with these videos is much better understanding what is behind the audio messages we listen during the flights 👍
Nice explanation and visuals. Thank you sir- ✈️

In aviation you take on step at the time ! Eventually you will get there ! Be consistent and patient and a good student
@@carlosmunoz7934 thanks so much brother for the kind and great advice!

Yes it is- not advisable as mistakes have been made where pilots have done a PA to ATC🙂
Thanks Captain, very informative video found it very useful:)
Thanks for a good video.
Another great and precise compilation of interesting and important facts in a short time! Thanks a lot! LATER 😎
Later!
Thank you captain. This video is very clear and very informative. What determines to calculate the t/d? And What about the local traffic?... Later
If you read my narrative it’s all there
@@pilot_obet Clear.... Later captain!

How do you know your lined up with the runway and not going to land beside it, not that I'm saying your incompetent by the way to clarify captain
What will happen if your finger gets stuck between the trust lever and the unit?
Just pull it out of the way!
@@pilot_obet I thought it might have had protection like the ones on car windows, garage doors etc :-)
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
And why do you divide by 3?
The glide angle is 3 degrees
Good morning, LATER...
