@@737Aviation Awesome =D I checked those Secret movies, i loved the last one from that point of view. Really appreciate your videos. On these shady days you break the clouds for us.
you are evil
@@chadsmith1876 Well, I'm Stevie Wonder and I got my personal typist to tell you I found it hilarious.
@@thegreathadoken6808 xD
The developers that built that autopilot don't get enough credit. Mind blowing how it can hold that slope
Man and machine coming together on a platform of mutual trust to beat the dark side. That was truly scary just to even watch.
As an instrument rated pilot, I’ve never broken out over the approach lights like that. That was pretty intense.
Like they stated it was a fully approached landing which means auto-pilot probably did not come off until wheels touched the runway! Still spectacular!
Exactly...full autoland executed by the autopilot you can hear it being disengaged at touch down this feature should be fitted to the older planes too
I'm not even flying the plane and I was nervous.
Dto
I was concerned for everyone onboard. Glad that was a cat II or III landing. That fog was very dense.
too !
There are enough instrumentation verifications to make one very calm. Airspeed, heading, altitude, glideslope verifications were all valid and within easy sight. No sweat !
I think the pilot are more nervous because cat2 computer flying the plane to the runway lol
They need an ILS approach to the gate
LOL!
Stand, not gate.
Aircraft park at Stands.
A gate is where people get on/off the aircraft.
@@sailorman8668 sorry man this is false a stand is a outsite parking position
@@jajuminer6779 Yes my friend, which is exactly what I said in my previous comment - what do you think I meant when I said 'Aircraft park at Stands'?
I have full command of the English language - obviously, you do not.
@@sailorman8668 chill
Pilots: get all the credit
ILS system: Uhm...
The ILS system doesn't die if some aircraft/ground component screws up ;) In all seriousness, there is no skill to an autoland, but lets say that sometimes the system performance is not 'as satisfactory as you would except'...
@@ahmed476th agreed!
That AP and ILS don't fly themselves without someone running the show. You try it someday. First, go get the experience and licenses that will allow you to send in your resume to even the crummiest airline, never mind the necessary flying experience. Start with a commuter that pays less than 20K/year and has you on the road 20 days a month. Then pass all the check rides for the decade or so it takes to land a decent job elsewhere. Pass every single one, because if you don't, you won't. Then some night when the weather is shit for 1000 miles around and you're reaching the end of your fuel load, program everything right and ensure that the airplane to all set to fly you to the runway. Modern landing systems are awesome. But they're not idiot-proof. Somebody needs to tend to a whole lot of particulars for everything to work just right at the intended destination.
@@lbowsk 20k a year and away from home 20 days a month? Takes a real idiot to sign up for that
The trim wheel's sound is satisfying asf
it always scared me lol
Is the trim wheel's sound this? 4:14
If it is, can you explain me what it indicates and what happen when you hear that sound? Thank you🙏🏻
@@federico9906 Nope, that's the spoilers' lever sound, being automatically "retracted" as the pilots move the throttle forward after reverse. You can hear the trim wheel sound at 3:05 The trim is used to stabilize the airplane's pitch, without having to keep the yoke pulled (landing scenario)
@@GloRupt ah ok. Thank you, i knew which the trim wheel sound was, but i didn't know what that sound was and so i tried to guess ahahaha. However, thank you for your answer.
I thought I was doing something wrong in X-Plane. I guess that’s suppose to happen lmao
Tower: "You are cleared for visual approach.... April Fools, just kidding....."
@Silvio Nunez :))))
@Silvio Nunez I think Stevie would say something like: "haha thats good one, i didnt see that coming" :)
In the 80s, one of the small province with poor electricity infrastructure airport in Indonesia easily gathered more than twenty motorcyclists to help light up the runway for a plane to make emergency landing. In poor countries, they too find solution their way.
People were living so much closer together without digital technology. They simply had to rely on each other. Difficult times for sure but still nicer than the cold machines which replaced people. Look at me - I would love to speak to any of you but I am just touching the dead plastic keyboard imagining "conversation".
@@Jarek_73 You and me both brother. And whatever skills are needed to get out of this situation aren't readily available for those of us raised in this new world.
@Youric Hunt You are right, it took place in former Czechoslovakia. It was quite another type of contest, in fact it was not a contest but a soap opera where you could vote for a certain plot twist to take place, but I personally remember rushing to our switch and "voting".😁 It was stupid and a herd-like act but you can hardly imagine the feeling of togetherness when all people next day talked about the same thing! I am no way a communist, most of us hated them, like 90% of population, I swear! But only few were heroes who fought them openly and ended up in prison. I was only a teenager then... Anyway, I confirm your information 👍
What happens when the plane goes off the runway?
That kind of thing still happens. MAF (Missionary Aviation Fellowship) has flown in many countries without widespread infrastructure such as electricity, water, etc., and they're not the only such aviation-oriented organization to fly emergency missions such as you describe. Nate Saint figured out how to drop a bucket with critical supplies straight down into a clearing in jungle or a shallow spot in the river, flying in a tight circle with a very, very long rope trailing behind with that bucket. It spiraled down into the center, and, if the circle, rope length and wind were coordinated adequately, a pilot could drop the bucket into someone's waiting arms, delivering or picking up anything small enough.
Watching from comfort of home and I almost messed my pants.
relax! the worst that can happen is you will crash.
@Relecent sorry, don't masterbate to aviation but you are funny!
jokes on the video, i removed my pants before the video
Tell you what man, I don't have a problem in the world with you mainliners making six figures. Keep up the great work.
Do you know the worst thing that could happen there?.........
Alarm: ........ Terrain...... Pull up
One look on PFD - ILS locked, glideslope locked, turn off Caution alert and go on.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I work on Alaska 737 700 to 900ERs as an Avionics tech but never get to see these systems at work in the air. So awesome.
I used to work on Alaska’s planes in the early 2000s just as they were starting with the RNP approaches with the HUDs.
You can have a taste of it with flight simulators.
I do the flight simulators in stuff like this, but Im sure doesn't even compare to the skill these people have. I live in Valdez Alaska and have witnessed first hand the skills these folks have. Impressive. To say the least.
I fly the new Boeing 737 800 max for TUI
Thank you for keeping these systems up and working proper. When we need them, they are a God send...
I’m an aviation nut! and everything that has to do with planes fascinates me. My most profound respect and utter admiration to the brave men and women who have this profession!
Brave?! Lol, a very cool and respectable job but you could consider yourself more brave to drive your car to the grocery store
Thank you,sir.
@@justinq8345you can pull over in a car if something is wrong with it. You can’t simply pull over in a plane. Yes bravery goes with being a pilot. Not to mention you have so many peoples lives in your hand each flight.
"Landing lights off for better outside view" if the passengers were aware most of them would literally crap their pants.
Master Yoda : Landing lights off, now close the eyes and start meditation . May the force be with you. 🤔😝
The whole point of IFR lol you don't need windows
Wow! Now I completely understand why a pilot could get spacial disorientation in conditions such as this if they don't know how to use instruments. That zero visibly stuff looks scary!
@@ayushchandorkar323 private pilots with no instrument rating and limited IFR experience. Kills pilots all the time.
@@ayushchandorkar323 I know they have training. I'm a brand new PPL student, and I have not flown in real or simulated IFR yet. All I was saying is that this helps me understand how it can be disorienting to be in these conditions. I didn't really have a concept of what it might feel like until I saw the video.
@Dee Anna
Pilots do in rare circumstances let autopilot land the plane. I'm guessing pilots normally second guess autopilot so they normally want to land themselves visually. But sometimes the weather is so bad, they have to let the computer land the plane and assume the plane knows what it is doing.
yes this causes more accidents
Dee Anna It was a fully automatic ILS approach and landing, so not much pilot work here
Pilot to his co-pilot: "Hey..why is there a mountain goat up here in the clouds"?
@U Tube Surfer not funny
say sike right now
@U Tube Surfer GAWDDAMN
@U Tube Surfer you are one fucked up person
@U Tube Surfer Dang, but just think about what you say before you send it cause that's really messed up..
Copilot: "Am having a panic attack"
Pilot: "Me too"
Moron!
it´s normal
@Pirabee "In the meantime, lets go grab some beers in the back...:D"
Jokes aside, pilots are trained to withstand stress when a problem occurs
Hahahahaha
I just watched it again and heard the autopilot disconnect at touch down. Didn't realize it was an autoland the first time I saw it. I'll feel a little better now !!
Great video. Really captures the perspective of flying in those conditions. Its almost like the plane isn't even moving and everything is just abstractions until the runway comes into view.
Yeah night flying is fucking terrifying in my option, love flying, but just not so much at night, As a passenger I don't care, but to be staring into the abyss knowing you're going 500mph but can't see shit, despite all the technology. never gets conformable to me. I guess its better to not see your death coming if it happens tho.
mysock351C yup!!!!
Wrap World Creations if a passenger airplane is doing that speed they’re pretty much guaranteed to be well above any obstacles such as terrain or buildings. However on landing it’s more like 160mph although still fast enough.
I didn't know that pilots turn off lights in fog. Just learned something new.
Sometimes they turn off strobes too (in fog of course).
ItsCoreyLynxxYall same situation is with cars.
@@michadryja9802 - yeah.,. in fog I always turned off all my lights.... wha?!??!
Obviously cuz its easier for them to see runway lights and get some visual feedback with the lights out.
same reason why you usually should turn of high beams when driving in fog/snow. you just illuminate the fog and see nothing else.
The only nice thing about 100 indefinite sky obscured & 2400 RVR in fog,
NO CROSS WIND.
"Seeing her come out of the darkness like a ghost ship...still gets me every time..."
"" Thats enough of this bullshit "" ha ha !! great film Titanic !
That was very impressive.
I am just glad that as a passenger, I am completely oblivious to what I just saw.
My butt is still puckered.
Damn! The autopilot held the glide slope 100% perfectly the entire way down. Of course, that's what you want to see and expect I suppose, but it still amazes me how precise it was.
A picture of remarkable skill. Landings have come from a long way off, back to the days when the only way you were going to land was visual, and a lot of pilots died. Now we have this great illustration of CAT II and III landings, all automated, and most recently, well, a few short years, AUTOLAND, along with AUTOPILOT, etc. We can all feel a lot safer.
Airplane: barely touches the runway
Computer: Minimums
Safety guideline: “Am I a joke to you?”
If the minimums were set higher, the airport might as well be closed in those conditions lol
You know they dont choose the minimums?
They dont choose the minimums, they are defined by each airport
And the minimums are said by the GPWS
Beautiful and impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Man hardly 10 seconds between minimums and touchdown, that's nuts
Wait until you see a CAT III ILS...
Way too risky for me. But then, I am no pilot.
ILS CAT III C doesn't required any decision height and no RVR, that has to be epic to fly in
@@gabyjustiniano5114 Exactly, that's my point haha
@@gabyjustiniano5114 We have CAT 3C here at KPDX
Gives "having faith in your instruments" new meaning. Nice work.
Amazing to see all the controls in the cockpit, and know that each one has a specific function!
Absolutely fantastic ! Thanks a lot for sharing these unique scenes with us Captain :)
This is one of the Reasons pilots gets a lot of Training!
❤
BWI A321 Yeah of course, but this one was a fully automatic ILS landing, approach and landing was done by the autopilot itself :)
Yasin Aygün do you know how hard it is to get an instrument rating let alone one on a 737
Currently a student pilot ( my program includes instrument rating as well) , landing is the easiest part of flying, even though it may seem scary , everything you saw in this video was done by a computer, pilots only make sure it’s running well and they are there if it fails .
Btw pilot training is really fast, maximum of 2 - 3 years, mine is 1 year and a half.
@@ahmedbilal760 its not maximum 2-3 years....especially not in an integrated atpl training like i am doing. And please explain why you find the landing the easiest part, as it requires a tremendous increase in workload?
NDABE ZITHA yes , you are correct I apologize about that, it may take more than 3 years in some institutions, and about the landing , yes I find it the easiest part of my flight training no doubt, my instructor was as surprised as you when he saw me do a smooth landing in my first time landing ever, maybe it’s some skill that I have , but I usually find maintaining smooth flight while in the air is harder than just landing the plane , I definitely know that my comfort feelings about landings will change when I start training on jet engines.
Incredibly fantastic landing! It looks really exciting at the first time I have seen the runway. Good job, congratulations.
Wow! Relying thoroughly on ILS to land. How frighteningly amazing! Beautiful job pilots.
Very cool. I ground handled an Alaska Md80 that landed in PDX doing a CAT111b approach. The fog was so thick you could wave your hand and watch it swirl. We didn't need ear protection either as the plane was escorted to the gate by Ops because they couldn't see a thing. Rare to experience.
The approaching runway lights looked like the Stargate sequence in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’
Well thats because the footage used in A Space Odyssey is actually runway lights, just upside down and mirrored.
This is pretty much the video definition of the word " professional' ! This crew can fly me any day! Hats off!
Sound quality was equally as impressive. Great video.
The 737-800's I flew had HUD. Only airplane I flew in my career with HUD. Retired now. Miss the flying but not all the other B.S. that goes with airline life.
What do you dislike the most about being a pilot (stress,schedule, pay)?
Would also like to know your input on the other B. S. of airline life ?
@@commander6546 Dislike? Probably the schedules but I signed up for it 38 years ago so I knew how it was going to be. The pay got good once I made captain so no complaints there. Stress, I'm more stressed driving in rush hour traffic than shooting an approach as shown in this video. Union politics are no fun and training cycles always seem to fall on your kids birthdays, graduations etc but thats life. I encourage any young pilots to go that route if thats their goal. I flew International 26 years, that was my favorite flying. Long haul in the DC8's and 747"s.
Kevin N I spoke with another 737 retired captain who said he didn’t like the corporate atmosphere. I appreciate the insight... I may consider the business jet route.
@@Kevin_747 DC-8s? Cargo? Emery? Just curious. Thanks.
Nothing but respect! To each and everyone involved making things like this happen.
WOW... the pilot must have his eyes glued to the gauges. Awesome stuff.
I haven't been so relieved to see these approach lights in my entire life
Same
Damn.
lol IKR...
Lol what are you doing here babe
How did you go from battlefield to 737s lol😂👍
Dude I would never say you're flying enthusiast as well.
Didn't expect to see you here
*A PERFECT LANDING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS, A JOB WELL DONE, WOW!!*
Thanks a lot!
Big salute to these pilots, I can't even drive a car in that kind of weather!
Flying a plane like 737 is a little bit easier than driving a car. You have instruments that can help you with navigation and ILS that (in some cases) can land the plane for you. In car - all you have are fog lights ;)
Oh, and don't get me wrong - becoming a pilot is way harder than making a driving license (and way more expensive too)! My previous comment regarded comparing pilot with experience vs. driver with experience :)
thank you for all your great service even in this kind of harsh environment.
You could barely _drive_ through this kind of soup. This is what's called: "trusting your instruments."
yup. ILS works.
Amazing technology - down centreline in dense fog - wow - trusting pilots👍
ILS Capable runways Sens a radio beam out in a cone which the plane will follow down to the runway (A basic example)
Kudos to all the Pilots out there who make so much of effort for the safety of aircraft and people on board.
Wow, these pilots are something special. Great job guys!
Such talented pilots.. That light switch manipulation as the autopilot flew the plane was SUPERB!!
When I die and I travel that long, dark tunnel towards the ever-growing, ever-intensifying bright light at the end...it will probably look just like this video did.
I guess you could call it My Final Approach.
The Great Hadoken thats deep lol
Don't count on it.
I died and got resuscitated mate with heart attack , no life flashing before your eyes , or tunnel or hovering above your body , load of crap it’s like falling to sleep in a lot of pain , then waking up and seeing loads of strange faces looking down at you and wondering were you are ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Man... STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT! 😱
I had to do that in a car to be able to get home. Fog so thick (and no fog lights) that I had to drive with the headlights OFF and only the yellow parking lights on to see. It worked and I got home safe.
WoW that was intense. That has never crossed my thoughts about the fog at the airport.
The hard part is NOT the landing, that is dialed in and performed by a computer. The HARD part is taxiing and finding the frikkin gate!!!
I know nothing about this, so keep that in mind reading my reply... Why don't they have a GPS based system that helps direct them on the ground? I'm thinking just like GPS for a car, but in a much more integrated and well thought out solution.
@@tscooter22 What he said is completely incorrect. Pilots do the landing pretty much every single time and even on poor visibility. Only the approach might be done by the autopilot and even that not always. And they do have a screen in the ground control where they see all the aircraft on the ground.
@@jjansgi Did you read the description?
"Boeing 737-800 making a fully automated approach AND LANDING"
@@FordyHunt Yes, and?
@@tscooter22 Ill respond lol. I dont remember the year its supposed to go into affect, but they are starting to have it set for ground controllers to see everything on the ground with the transponder set to ALT all the time now. But there is a system that helps pilots navigate. forflight is another good one where it will place you on the map on the airport and you can navigate off that. However, it is just there for guidance and not responsible for anything. It's just better than nothing.
Nerves of steel those pilots have. Very impressed!
Very cool! I made an ILS to 300ft in blowing snow to land in Rock Springs while bringing a Cessna 172XP from Wichita to Troutdale Oregon in the winter of 1977. It is great fun to hand fly single pilot IFR in a new airplane. I was 22yrs old. Never got to do a Cat 2 approach. CFIA&I ERAU Prescott 1980.
Amazing. I’m sure it’s a good feeling when you see those flashers.
Amazing night time footage !
That is worth a thumbs up and sub.
After landing is the trim wheel set auto,lot of spinning i notice.
harleyblue999 After landing, job is done. That is why the cash register starts spinning and ringing.
737 Max 8 it's trying not to crash.
I'm guessing you were thinking about 5:32. When you pull the flaps back up, the aircraft trims back automatically.
@@bahenbihen ahh thanks.
@@bahenbihen no, the pilot does it. I also flew the 737.
They are locked in to that beautiful Glideslope. One of the most satisfying things ever!
It really is!
those pilots deserve an applause, a free hug, and free beer.....just incredible landing
2:23 *Bravo Six going dark*
Woah.....that trim wheel sound would drive me crazy.
737 Max 8 trying not to crash lol.
Modern aircraft are truly amazing, landing in pea soup with no more than 50 metres of vertical visibility and that is only for a quick go around, I love to hear the AP go off once all wheels down.
Nerves of steel. Amazing demonstration.
I got anxious just watching that...wow.
I flew from Nantucket Island to Tweed New Haven one night years ago -- sometime in the mid-1980s -- on a DC-3 (what a great plane, by the way). I remember seeing nothing but white outside my window and kept waiting for it to open up. Turns out, it never did. I was shocked when the wheels touched the ground -- I finally saw the vague yellow blur of runway lights well after the tail wheel landed. I was surprised the pilots could even land in fog that thick.
PBA?
Tells me your pilot busted his minimums. Bad deal.
Funny, I had flown this same flight just last year. With a stop in Washington D.C, then Charlotte, then Philadelphia, before finally coming into New Haven. The nonstop flights you could take back in the day, were amazing.
your profile pic look like harrison fog sorry ford 😂
@@yaterspoon57 That's the one. It was just before Continental -- or maybe it was People Express back then, and then Continental -- took over the airline. It had been in bankruptcy for a while.
I cannot even imagine how difficult this is... they're literally flying blind!!! God bless these men
Stephen Anthony are you dumb? I bet you don’t know a thing about flying, get off your moms phone
Stephen Anthony it’s more then that bud, might want to do a bit of research.
Seen a lot of CAT II landings. Still amazed.
Nice! In my aviation career I flew thousands of approaches. I think only three or four were in conditions this low. Most of the time you pop out of the overcast well above minimums with decent visibility underneath. However, once conditions were so low that as I got down to 200' there was absolutely nothing. No glow of the approach lights, no rabbit, NO NOTHING! Went missed and waited for conditions to improve! The glow of the approach lights was always appreciated as I closed in on minimums! Oh yeah, almost forgot, we didn't have autopilots so had to hand fly them as well. Fun times for sure!
Fly'n Brian : nowadays a lot of Bizjets are equipped with Enhanced Vision System, an infrared sensor with image being projected on the HUD, making life a little bit easier at that 100 feet to ground. But kudos to you Sir, real pilot flied without AP
I thought aircraft aren't permitted to land in visibility less than a certain point. This was certainly that. Personally, I'd rather not fly than to depend on a mindless computer to fly the aircraft. Anyone with half a brain, who cared at all about the people on board, would have flown on to a safer airport.
@@dwightstewart7181 leave it to the pros. ;)
all lies. there's one very easy giveaway in his lie aswell
@@dwightstewart7181 You must be really old, set in your ways, and lack knowledge and understanding of technology.
The mindless computer can objectively fly the aircraft better than humans and doesn't get distracted, disoriented, depressed or sleepy like the human brain. Do you remember MH370? That was a suicidal human brain, that ended up crashing the flight into the Indian ocean. Reliability and consistency are huge targets for commercial airlines because of the sheer number of flights that take place. And so this seems like a very natural progression.
The autopilot isn't restricted to shitty human sight, it can localize the aircraft via GPS, radar and lidar. It's also orders of magnitudes faster than humans in reaction times. If you call the autopilot mindless, you are calling its creators mindless.
That’s the coolest aviation video I’ve seen yet!
Wow. Awesome landing given the conditions.
Yes, when the lights are pointed forward and down of your eyes in fog (rain, snow, etc.), the light reflect back to your eyes is lowered. High beams are angled upward, ergo, more light is reflected back to your eyes. The landing lights, while low and off to the side, are still pitched slightly upward. The hot spot of reflected light from them, washes out the (dimmer) approach lights.
Absolutely breath taking to watch. I can’t wait until I get to do this
Wasn't that a CatIII instead of a 2?
Fully automated and definitely lower than 100 feet.
minimums 100 RA 3:25 and no rollout
@@iclicklike3397 it definitely had rollout since A/P disengaged after the plane landed but still a CAT II from the minimums
@@tommegg8486 A/P disconnect the moment main gear touched 3:36 A/P only did flare
@@iclicklike3397 I've seen CAT III without rollout as well but you know what? I've never piloted a real boeing before so I'm not really sure what should and shouldn't happen
Could also have succeeded as a regular ILS -- runway environment was in sight at ~220 feet.
I can’t even drive a car in the fog damn dude got skills
Holy cow that is some excellent piloting skills! Flying into total darkness!
Awesome video! Being an Electrical & Electronic Engineer and a Pilot I appreciate the use of ILS Technology and the skills and trust of the pilots have when flying these machinery ..
i really had a strong propensity to go to this path as well but i ended up becoming a doctor because i found myself doing well at it too
Nice one ! Would you mind sharing your camera settings for this shot (assuming the cam is a GoPro) ? All my attempts have been unsuccessful so far...
Guess not , that wasnt very nice of whoever made video....Ancient chinese secret,huh
WOW, THAT WAS JUST SO PERFECT...AND INCREDIBLE TO WATCH!!...THANKS FOR SHARING AND A WELL DONE JOB TO THE BOTH OF YOU...THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!!...WE'D LIKE TO SEE MORE!!
Wow even though I have stuck with Boeing during the whole 737MAX fiasco, the computer work here is amazing. Love it!
Well done thank god for great pilots like these guys as well as the ILS
My dad landed in fog like this in the 50' and '60s in a C-124 all the time. He said the hard part was taxing.
They used ground radar at the time.
That was back in the day when men were men. He probably used a Ground Controlled Approach too. My dad flew KC-97's and 135's back in the same era. They would be amazed at the technology today. Sadly, though, it comes at a loss of flying skill, because when it's down and dirty, the autopilot does the work. I will never be the instrument pilot I was when I was flying a Jetstream or Metroliner with no autopilot of flight director. My had is off to your dad.
@@kensnyder3311 I hope this comes through disciplesofflight.com/zero-zero/. My dad knew this pilot.
My dad like yours said they flew a lot so they were really good at zero-zero landings.
In no way am I knocking today's pilots it takes a lot to trust your instruments.
BTW, My dad emails a KC-135 pilot and he told him they once "towed" an F-105 home. It was so badly shot up it had holes in the fuel tank.
Hats off to you and your dad!
@@scuddrunner1 Geesh! What a read! Thanks for that
Mike M What a great story! Hey everyone(pilots and enthusiasts especially)!
Click on the link and have a read. It's a real good story. I could listen to these all day.
Old Shaky, right? They had them at Stewart AFB in Newburgh, NY. ANG, I think. From what I remember, the flight engineer would open a top hatch and provide taxing direction to the pilot from his vantage point above the fuselage. This was in 1966. It was a helluva cargo plane.
Which of those instruments shows heart rate?
I'm in my apartment with all the lights on....and I'm freaking nervous watching that.....that's confidence!
Mad respect for that kind of successful landing
I'd have loved to hear more of the crew communication during the approach, and especially after the landing. Lots of sighs of relief I suspect?
Sterile cockpit once on approach, not too much to say.
@@TyphoonVstrom that's right...below 10,000 ft., no words other than required, and maybe an "ahhh shit" for good measure ;-)
You wouldn't sigh relief after a standard procedure
THIS IS INSANE. FEW PEOPLE CAN DEAL WITH THIS; PILOTS ARE BADASSES.
It isn't that hard!
Here, take my beer.
dardoukLYS you know there are more than 500 buttons knobs and switches in the small cockpit? I’d like to see you land a plane. Even though they used autoland here you gotta have iron balls to sit up there not seeing anything
@@latifsamour8763 Of those, only a few switches are needed. I knew how to land a Boeing 777 in Aerofly Fs 2020 by myself in a period of about a day and even did a full flight from Denver to San Fransisco in that simulator without using the controls displayed on screen and only the levers and knobs (except for the rudder throttle and yoke). Of course, flight planning and Atc are a different story, but I already know some basics
@@latifsamour8763 no you don't. You program in the course and ils frequencies then you just monitor the instruments.
I think this video is magnificent. I can't get enough of seeing. I always watch him before going to sleep. It's very good and congratulations on the video!
Thank you :)
brass ones on these boys. Great IFR/RVR skills and Chapeau for a job well done
When you descend pass minimums and you still don't see anything:
This is where the fun begins!
This is were the soiled pamper begins.😊
Then there is a mandatory go -around
The 737 is the Greyhound Bus of the skys it's built like a tank and has some pretty advanced avionics .. it can land itself ..
Until the MCAS kicks in and turns it into a lawn dart.
Just awesome. Perfect example on how to rely on instruments in IMC.
Nice ILS WORK! I am 8n instrument training Right now and I love these thing!
