      Never seen a USB power port in a Boeing or Airbus f/deck... normal outlet yes.

    • @kristianlien
      @kristianlien 5 років тому +3

      George Joseph thats weird because the planes i’ve been to are AC 12 volt sockets. Those cannot charge an ipad. They can just about power a lightbulb. Because in the cockpit there are AC 12 volts its hard to charge anything. You’d need an adapter. So to charge an 128 volt ipad charger follow these steps:
      1. Smuggle an adapter past security
      2. Get it on the airplane
      3. Drown the loud noise of the adapter
      4. Dont cause suspicion.
      Or if you find a way to connect your power directly to the DC power batteries or to the APU when running, witch is frankly much harder

    • @georgejoseph4164
      @georgejoseph4164 5 років тому

    A tip from the maritime industry, keep your legal documents (passport, licensing, medical, etc) in a ziplock bag. If you get the air out before sealing, you can fold it up so it takes up no more room than the documents themselves. Not only does it keep them all together, but it's one more layer of water protection if your bag/person gets wet. Keep your home document copies in a fire safe or in a safe deposit box, again, things happen.
    Also, if you guys (and gals) have as many various required documents as we do at sea (passport, license, industry credential, security ID, international training standard document, radio license, etc, etc) then a spread sheet of documents and their expiration dates, earliest renewal date, and such can prevent an "oh BLEEEP" moment!

    • @saladking2370
      @saladking2370 Рік тому +1

      And the sheet with expiration dates is brilliant. It's never good to discover your credentials expired when you need them.

      Opsec! you're gonna need more than a lanyard to to blend in as ground crew if you dont belong. But a high vis with the right logo will keep an intruder from looking suspicious at a distance. Can someone just take a picture in the terminal? Probably, But Joe is making sure its not his video thats the source :p

  • @dragev12321
    @dragev12321 7 років тому +633

    For those who can't wait... Pilots can't wear polarized sunglasses because the windscreen of the aircrafts is already polarized. If you wear polarized sunglasses, the pilot can't see the sparkle of light that reflects from other objects with shiny surfaces, such as another aircraft.
    Sorry for the spoiler

    • @LeoVideoProduction
      @LeoVideoProduction 7 років тому +47

      Actually, if the cockpit windows are polarized as well, you won't be able to see anything at all. Two polarization filters that aren't aligned are effectively a window blind.

      Most of the LCD screens are also polarized. I had polarized diopter glasses and whenever I had to work at PC I had to use non-polarized ones :-D Every screen has different align of polarization. Sometimes there was almost no change in view, but in some cases I seen just black screen

    • @shi01
      @shi01 7 років тому +7

      Also the newer airplanes like the A350 for instance and also some Boeing planes have now heads up displays and with polarized sunglasses you can't see the projected writing on them.

    I forgot to bring spare batteries for my A20 headset once, during flight the noise canceling turned OFF and after an annoyingly loud 2 hour flight I now NEVER fly without at least 4 new batteries somewhere in my bag!
    Also a tip for general aviation pilots who fly at night. If you are looking for a LED flashlight, try getting one with an additional red light function which is much easier on your eyes and doesn't destroy your night vision both during pre-flight and reading something in the aircraft during flight. :)

    When it comes to “work” tools, it’s very important to not go cheap. There is the difference between inexpensive and cheap. No need to buy expensive stuff but it has to be quality.
    Good call on the good pen. Amazing how such a simple inexpensive little tool can mess up a multi million $ operation.
    Thanks again!

    Emergency kit: I recommend having two €50 notes in there instead of a single €100 note, in case you end up in Ireland.
    Yes, the green one is legal tender here in Ireland too, but there are many places that are reluctant to accepting bigger denominations than €50.
    Any hotel should be able to let you break it into two €50 notes, though, so not all hope is lost. :)

      When I still used paper in the cockpit, a pencil would never fail. Staedler makes a nice one. If you have to sign something on the ground, just use one of the 500 hotel pens you have (don't play coy, pilots are incapable of leaving a hotel without taking all the pens). I still keep a pencil in my pocket but I use a stylus and our EFB for 99% of cockpit writing.

    • @skaterkid901
      @skaterkid901 7 років тому +2

      I am not a pilot but work closely in the industry. A little while ago some of the Boeing guys popped by and gave us a little corporate goodie bag. The usual tat (lanyards, keyrings, notebooks etc) but they also had an interesting pencil that had about 12 spare leads. The pen was surprisingly heavy too. When we queried, we were told that the pen and pencil (and notebook) were part of the kit that Boeing provides to its test pilots as well as options for first-tier pilots. I can't comment about the pen but the pencil was fantastic. It has lasted me 10 years, two of which I used it exclusively while draughting engineering drawings.
