im a pilot and aircraft technician. it is a scary deal when the pilot encounters freezing point of fuel. that 340 can fly really far non stop. that flight is long and having no contact midway over the ocean is challenging. thumbs up to those pilots who fly that route. really nice video sam chui.
Thank you Aerolineas Argentinas and its many good employees for getting the ball rolling on this route and keeping it rolling, it showed real foresight, entrepreneurship and commercial aviation planning and skill and I hope it always remains profitable for you, it has facilitated a lot of good connections between more and more families and so many friends also encouraging commercial enterprises spread between South American nations and Australia/ New Zealand.
I did both flights last year (EZE-SYD - SYD/EZE) and they were simply amazing. Remember when flying from Buenos Aires to Sydney, there was no night the whole route (about 16 hs). What a pity this transpolar flight was discontinued.
What an amazing video! It’s sad that after 34+ years AR’s transpolar flight will come to an end. The part where the FO explains the route was excellent, especially when he went into the technical details. Many thanks for sharing this! You’ve really dwarfed the quality of the videos in my channel with this one (check it out by the way). I’ve flown tons of times with AR, mainly on the EZE-MAD route and several times they let me into the cockpit, inflight and during take offs and landings, even in the 747-200. Since 9/11 attacks, they said that they wouldn’t allow in the flight deck any “non-crew” person again. It’s good to see that they’ve let you in and sincerely hope that this fact won’t put into jeopardy their jobs. Hopefully Aerolineas Argentinas will become again what it used to be in the past in terms of service and worldwide presence. Enjoy Buenos Aires!
Excellent video, Sam! Yet another unique flight in your logbook. To have a cockpit visit in flight and the pilot explaining the significance of southern polar was outstanding!
Great video.-....I ve shared it with all my friends who love aviation. I love the fact that Sam Chui cuts Valeria Lynch " Loco" song after the pilots'route exposition...It just fits
Looking forward now to fly Aerolineas from New York to Buenos Aires in November, they look like a very promising airline. And the new livery looks fantastic!
I've flown that route many times with AA, always a good experience, good food, always on time.. haven't been to Bs. As. in the past two years. If I have to do it again. i'll always choose them.
Wow! Thank you sam for share this video, im watching this video 8 years later 😅😅 now AR don't have this route and they have the A330 but i loved this video and is amazing
Excelente información que nos brinda el Primer Oficial del vuelo. Muchísimas gracias de todos los que amamos la aviación por abrirnos la puerta de la cabina y explicarnos lo maravilloso e importante de este vuelo tan especial. Gracias por el esfuerzo en expresarte en ingles ya que no es su idioma natal por lo visto. Gran aporte para la comunidad. Thank you very much to the First Officer To open the door and let Mr. Sam Chui get into the cockpit and to explain all the community so many important facts of this very special flight and its risks. Thank you also to put the best of you trying it in english even this is not his mother language !!
Great video sam , I flew with them back in 2008 via Auckland , hehe it was experience , I thought I had gone back in time with no PTV, and on way home we flew over southern antarctic they even told us so we could look out at the ice was s blinding white even from the height we was at...I wouldn't fly them again but certainly an experience...
The title of the video is confusing, but it is not across the south pole according to that map 6:01. They are flying 2500 km from the south pole 8:15 ... the flight exists, but it is not flying across or even above the south pole. Plus more than 1 and a half hours without communication... what about using satellite communication?
@@peterhoebarth4234 Then how come we can fly from Buenos Aires to Cape Town in about 8 hours? Anybody can book that flight. You can't claim it doesn't exist or takes longer.
@@peterhoebarth4234 Nope, just someone with common sense. You can (once the pandemic is sorted) book a flight or cruise to Antarctica from Argentina. Why don't any of you flat earthers do that?
Excelente la explicacion del primero oficial sobre la ruta a seguir, la verdad me hubiera gustado viajar en el tramo del transpolar, que hacia la escala en la USH, al menos para probar lo que es viajar en 340, pero lamentablemnte la ruta ha sido desprogramada por AR. Una pena. Thanks a lot Sam for showing your experience on an AR flight, hope you enjoyed your travel and our beautiful country, so as we do. I tell u you`re going to my favs right now. Keep on flying!
Actually I think the JFK-FAOR route operated, by South African Airways, is the longest A340 route. I've flown on it, and I believe it was 15hrs and 26min or sometimes longer.
Thanks for the video. I don't understand how they can loose comunication in the age where the Satelites dominate the comunications. I'll never understand that kind of problem.
Satalites depend on towers to strengthen the signal that they triangulate the data sent and recieved between satalites. Otherwise it's like you shooting a gun across 1,000 miles without a point of reference in the dark.
ramon bellot Many comms satellites are geostationary or geosynchronous and only have "spot beams" or coverage over areas of the earth where coverage is necessary. Costs a lot of money to have them up there, and wouldn't be cost effective to shoot one up to cover an area where it will be seldom utilized. Other comms satellites are put in orbit and have moving coverage but some areas of the earth are still not covered due to the nature of their fixed orbits.
No radio because of Flat Earth! satellites dont exist, GPS is made of land based communication antennas. I can play videogames with japanese teens in milliseconds but this plane is isolated. An ISIS terrorist have satellite radio, but this plane is isolated.
ramon bellot They lose _radio_ communication with ATC. As explained at 7:00, they can communicate with the company through ACARS messages. Not explained in the video is what ACARS is. ACARS is just the name for the message protocol (so like email or SMS). ACARS messages are sent by radio (if in range with good reception) or via satellite. The protocol for satellite-based ATC communications is called ADS-B. It requires major, expensive upgrades to ATC systems around the world and only a couple countries' ATC systems have integrated ADS-B, but it should be implemented in most countries by the mid-2020s. The cockpit of larger aircraft like the A340 is equipped with a phone that uses the the satellite link to make and receive voice calls and a communications panel that is used to send and receive text messages (using the ACARS protocol), which is more commonly used than the phone.
It is a pity that they have closed this route, but there are two reasons, one was the high cost of the same and was not at all profitable and another was the withdrawal of the A340-200 of the fleet that were the only aircraft capable of achieving this route so long for more than 16 hours from Buenos Aires to Sydney and 14 hours from Sydney to Buenos Aires non-stop. Currently the fleet of long-range is composed of A340-300X and by A330-200 and none of these aircraft is capable of doing the route as well that was discontinued. In 2015 he will be Air New Zealand which reconnect Oceania with Buenos Aires thanks to its code-share with Aerolineas Argentinas with which the passengers of NZ will be able to make connections to all of South America with AR and its network of destinations on the continent.
+LimaVictor85 You named it, hope that Aerolineas sometime resume EZE-SYD or EZE-AKL-SYD on a new fleet able to get Oceania nonstop, hope that AR will get an A350
Great video Sam.. but why the Maria Conchita Alonso song? she is not from argentina . Mercedes Sosa would be a better option or some Argentinian rock Band like "Soda Stereo" they have a song titled "Planeador"
Wow you didn't see the semi circle antarctic did you. The flat Earth would show them hugging the antarctic the entire way along the edge of the map. Not one isolated region. All lines of meridian converged on one point in the middle of the antarctic and then showed the southern tip of South America, where argentina is. Maybe pay better attention next time.
Bueno fuera lo tradujeran al español. Ese vuelo va sobre el paralelo 38. Hay muchas dudas sobre ese trayecto y los mapas. Well outside they will translate it into Spanish. That flight goes over the 38th parallel. There are many doubts about that route and the maps.
Nada que ver...Ese vuelo en la ida (Buenos Aires-Sydney) llegaba en su parte mas austral dentro del circulo polar antártico (latitud 66°34')...En la vuelta iba un poco mas al norte del circulo por el tema de vientos de cara.
i am looking into jetstreams in that area. True speed might not be the actual speed at 35000ft. They might be traveling at an excess of over 250+ kmph. Correct me if I am wrong
Los pioneros de los vuelos transpolares fue en 1956 la SAS Scandinavian Airlines Sytem con DC6 B Y 1957 DC7 C a pistón.Eso era volar, con sistemas más rudimentarios una verdadera hazaña .En el vuelo de Aerolíneas ya utiliza 747 200 tecnología de avanzada.
Planes don't flight at a high enough altitude to be able to notice curvature with the naked eye. If you could measure the curvature, you would detect it
hola gente acaba de ver el vídeo y por lo visto viajo en turista, la pregunta que tengo es puedo pedir ver al piloto en pleno vuelo ya que me interesa mucho la aviación es la primera vez que voy a volar y necesito sacarme esa duda
my dad is the first officer in command, very proud!!!
Que genio kudos. Dile que tiene una hermosa hija :)
Really .. amazing .. i m a flatearther 😬😁
Felicitaciones! Una lástima no volar más esa ruta
your father is good human being
Hi flies 330 nowadays?
im a pilot and aircraft technician. it is a scary deal when the pilot encounters freezing point of fuel. that 340 can fly really far non stop. that flight is long and having no contact midway over the ocean is challenging. thumbs up to those pilots who fly that route. really nice video sam chui.
On that precise route, what if a passenger feel bad and an emergency landing has to be done?
Thank you Aerolineas Argentinas and its many good employees for getting the ball rolling on this route and keeping it rolling, it showed real foresight, entrepreneurship and commercial aviation planning and skill and I hope it always remains profitable for you, it has facilitated a lot of good connections between more and more families and so many friends also encouraging commercial enterprises spread between South American nations and Australia/ New Zealand.
I was impressed with the captain. I didn't expect him to be so engaging.
The rest of the world airline pilots. -American,United,Delta. Are not politically or afraid to talk to everyone.
Because if he were from the US, UK, Aus, etc, would have ignored the pax. They have got an attitude
Bravo, Sam! I believe it's the best flight report I've ever seen. So sad that Aerolineas Argentinas decided to discontinue transpolar flights.
Orgullo argentino para el mundo!!! Proud Argentinian for the world!!’
Thank you Sam....very interesting and informative. Gracias al FO por su amabilidad y profesionalismo.
This is why i pay for internet. Amazing video. Proud of that Argentinian pilots, amazing work of their part and thank you Sam to share it.
Well that's Argentina for you! 😂😂 This includes the football team too! You know how Argentina won the World Cup? Yeah, That's why.
I did both flights last year (EZE-SYD - SYD/EZE) and they were simply amazing.
Remember when flying from Buenos Aires to Sydney, there was no night the whole route (about 16 hs). What a pity this transpolar flight was discontinued.

Great Video! Very interesting explanation from the pilots :)
Great video Sam! Nowadays due to covid-19 AR is making this fly but not transpolar, they use a 330 etops180
What a great and historical video!
What an incredible video! I remember aerolíneas argentinas used to have this route made by the 747-4
And the Reful - Stop was in XXX for 2.5 Hours.
Excellent video, especially the technical chat with pilot.
Sam! Thats so amazing and the view and the videos from that years! Amazing job and experiences! Grettings from Colombia!
By the way, what an amazing video Sam, it's simply a ''must''!. Congrats!
I did the flight in the flight simulator, and it was a grand polar experience. 13h23 min for my gate to gate. Wonderful video!
the first officer who speaks english is very knowlegable, i keep repeating this video, i learn alot from this
English is required for all airline pilots. Universally
I love these pilots, so cool.
que grosos pusieron un campera en el vidrio para que no les de el sol jajaja bien Argentino

Remarkable, I hope one day I do get a chance to visit Argentina, flying the transpolar route. By the way, what's the title of the song in this video?
+hkdiva2015 the name of the song is "La Loca" by Maria Conchita Alonso

Flown that route(via Auckland) 3 times. 1990 on 747-200, 2004 & 2008 on A340-200.
