Thanks for the most informative video on this topic, very well explained and demonstrated. That's why you're a training captain, your students are very lucky.
Very nice video! I have watched hundreds of aviation videos over the years, but this is the first video I have ever seen that explains how these big jets are maneuvered on the ground so thank you so much for this!
Thank you ! Thank You Sir , for this impressive , most exciting , and unlimited fascination information about the Boeing 747-8 ! Thank You very much Sir ! Thank You !! May God Bless You !
I have always wanted to be a pilot 🎉. Skipper, you are making me feel like I am undergoing training. Please Captain, link me to your favorite flying school. Love this…
I knew there was a lever there to turn the aircraft while taxiing, but I have never seen it used like here. Very clear! Thank you. Extra question: I always used to think that, especially on big aircraft, like the 747, there is a camera mounted somewhere near the nose wheel to assist in following the lines on the ground. This image from such camera would have to be shown on some monitor in the cockpit I guess. Is there such a feature? Maybe modern aircraft use one of their multi-function displays to view this. Or are you just using some marks from inside the cockpit to judge when it is the right point to turn? If so, for any precice maneuvering, this can be quite difficult...
Yes - the B777 has a camera for example but the B747 didn’t have it as a standard fit. To taxi a big jet you really need to look outside. Can you imagine driving your car and everyone you approach a turn you look inside a t a screen…
Interesting. I knew it already, but stil one of my questions is answered. I was always wondering if one could also manuevre with the rudderpedals, but that is limited as you said. I know that with some companies only the captain does the taxi procedures, and others just the pilot flying. How is that with yours?
Thank you very much for this informative video, you have done a perfect and simple demonstration for viewers like us. In this video you have answered a question for me that I was looking for a answer for long long time ago, I have subscribed in your channel and will be waiting for more interesting videos like this👍
Training skills and experience…..the 748 is different than most aircraft. Not only long but high. The nose gear In most larger aircraft is usually behind the pilots. Make a note next time you fly. The aircraft taxi beyond the runway centerline and make a 90 or almost 90 degree turn. With that turn the nose tires should be straddling the centerline. After that just use rubber pedals and very slight adjustments until you get full rudder control. Very very shortly after that the v1 speed is called…the point at which it is safer tao get airborne and return to airport for emergency landing. A few seconds after that the “Rotate” is called and the control column or control stick in some aircraft is pulled back slightly to raise the nose. Once the nose is rotated the plane will eventually climb off the runway. When a safe and reliable “Positive Rate” as in aircraft is climbing the landing gear will be raised usually by the non flying pilot. A few seconds later the flaps will be raised in either one or possibly two steps depending on flight conditions and performance parameters for that aircraft’s weight, altitude, temperature and obstacles ahead. Sorry for stealing your video Captain. This video is a 747 but most aircraft especially larger aircraft like commercial airliners have the same principle.
That tiller seems kind of awkward to use and looks like it takes a bit of force to move also. Is it as awkward as it looks ? Or does it feel intuitive and natural?
ive seen most pilots use the rudder panels instead of that, so ive came to this question: is it only on the 747 that you dont use the rudder panels? or do you just take that taxiing method in favor of the rudder?
Hi can you make a video about the TOGO button ...I want to know more about the TOGO button , should I disconnected the TOGO after take off,,,an incase a go round how would I use the TOGO to help me get the maximum speed for the manuver.
Wonderful video! Thank you captain~ What’s more, I would like to know the force we need to move the control yoke. And whether the force will change during the flight due to the wind or any other reasons. And I know the -8 is flight-by-wire, while the -400 is flight-by-cable. So what is the difference feeling in the yoke force. Thank you. 🎉
I have a question that I've wondered about: Logically, I'm tempted to believe that this is reversed for the FO (push = left; pull = right). Is this correct or is it mirrored? Thanks for the video and you got a subscription.
@@pilot_obet I didn’t have one in the Learjet either, but I thought it would be useful in an aircraft this large, before you apply a great deal of thrust on the ground to a nose wheel that is turned at an extreme angle.
@@pilot_obet I can think of times when a configuration warning would’ve been nice to have, but they weren’t equipping aircraft with those systems back in the 1970s.
Ooooh, how about it 74gear Kelsey, he just showed thousands of people how to maneuver a 747 on the ground 😮…in 5mins! I always thought you turn with the yolk 😂.

Proudly Zimbabwean, continue putting our country on the map
That’s incredible captain 👨✈️
Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons Captain Obet!! I could watch these for hours!
Thanks for the video, Skipper. My request is for a demonstration of a crosswind landing and take-off with aileron and rudder input.
Amazing Video ! The pilot is a very Knowledgeable and Educated Man.
And there was me thinking the rudder pedals alone were at play here. Every day’s a school day! Thank you Captain.
Finally found a how-to video on youtube to taxi my 747-8 from my backyard to the front lot. Thanks.
Very interesting.Thank you Captain.👍
Great presentation, captain 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'm curious how much force is required to turn the tiler. Thanks for sharing. I could watch these all day.
thank you captain, one of the great mysteries of commercial aviation finally solved!
Very detailed demonstration, thank you.
Very nice video!
I have watched hundreds of aviation videos over the years, but this is the first video I have ever seen that explains how these big jets are maneuvered on the ground so thank you so much for this!
My pleasure.
Thank you ! Thank You Sir , for this impressive , most exciting , and unlimited fascination information about the Boeing 747-8 ! Thank You very much Sir ! Thank You !! May God Bless You !
This is neat!! Thank you for sharing!
A Tiller the hun Lolz! Fair winds and blue skies. 😁👍
The best video captain...one of u fan and follower. Keep on sharing !
Great content as always Captain.
Great presentation, pacing, camera work and perfect explanation. Thanks!
Great informative video one of the best I've seen 👍
Great info Captain Obet..enjoy watching your videos
Thanks a lot, very informative video
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you.
I have always wanted to be a pilot 🎉. Skipper, you are making me feel like I am undergoing training. Please Captain, link me to your favorite flying school. Love this…
Thank you Captain for sharing this
Thank you Captain
747 one of the last planes to have a control column. It's amazing how old it is now. New sub
plenty of airplanes have control columns what are you talking about
Great job explaining sir! I just watched the video till the end…even though I have zero interest in flying planes.
Great video. Best explanation I’ve seen on UA-cam. You are a great instructor Captain.
Great Capt. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯❤❤
That was awesome,you make a great teacher pilot😎👌
Amazing content. I always wondered how the plane is manoeuvred on the ground
Nicely explained
Wow thanks I always imagined you having a small wheel.✈️✈️✈️🌍💗🕊️
Thank you so much Captain Obet
Very straight and clear thanks captain
Thank you for your videos. They are so informative 😀
Great videos! Thanks!
Captain, have you ever thought of doing a Q&A? I have so many questions and I thought if I do, many others probably do as well!
Many thanks for this simulation👏👏👏👏
Cap. great video. I always thought the tiller on all Boeing jets was that half circle type.
I knew there was a lever there to turn the aircraft while taxiing, but I have never seen it used like here. Very clear! Thank you.

😊great explanation sir👍well done chief
since i see your videos flight sim became more interesting . grts
Thank you for showing
Interisting channel. One question. How do you keep the plan on the taxiway center line?
TRY LOOKING OUT THE WINDOWS THAT USUALLY HELPS
@@melekanaka2288 Answer in a real way or shut up !
It's also possible to use the engines to perform sharp turns no ? By applying more thrust on one side than on the other ?
Thank you sir, well done...
Thanks for this video. The question now is how do pilots centre the front landing gear with the centre mark on the ground?
Training skills and experience…..the 748 is different than most aircraft. Not only long but high. The nose gear In most larger aircraft is usually behind the pilots. Make a note next time you fly. The aircraft taxi beyond the runway centerline and make a 90 or almost 90 degree turn. With that turn the nose tires should be straddling the centerline.

Sorry for stealing your video Captain.

Perfect always wondered how to taxi my 747-8 Super jet. Just going to start mine up now and get going lol.
That tiller seems kind of awkward to use and looks like it takes a bit of force to move also. Is it as awkward as it looks ? Or does it feel intuitive and natural?
id love to go in a 747 sim, is this a training center or accesible to everyone? and were is it located? thanks and great videos
Thanks so much, I have been stuck on a runway and had no clue how to fly back home.
After a lot of gameplays, you can feel the whole plane when navigating in the air, or on the runways, or airfields.
ive seen most pilots use the rudder panels instead of that, so ive came to this question: is it only on the 747 that you dont use the rudder panels? or do you just take that taxiing method in favor of the rudder?
Hi can you make a video about the TOGO button ...I want to know more about the TOGO button , should I disconnected the TOGO after take off,,,an incase a go round how would I use the TOGO to help me get the maximum speed for the manuver.
He has a video about that already. I think about a year ago maybe.
TOGO is a country in west Africa. TOGA is the Take-Off/Go-Around button. 🙂
Wonderful video! Thank you captain~
What’s more, I would like to know the force we need to move the control yoke. And whether the force will change during the flight due to the wind or any other reasons. And I know the -8 is flight-by-wire, while the -400 is flight-by-cable. So what is the difference feeling in the yoke force.
Thank you. 🎉
Thanks alot for this demo !
Hey captain when does it change from yoke to tiller? Nive vid
Just as we slow down below 30 knots after landing
Thank you, I always wanted to know how they steered the plane on the ground.
Sweet...!
By using the Tyler how many degree or pourcentage the wheels could reach captain,,?
Thank you captain now can you show us how to break into an airport
Thank you very much!
nice thanks
I didn’t know that the rudder pedals can be used for limited nose gear turning. I suppose useful for takeoff and landing.
Yes
Jankari dene ke liye dhanyvad sar aapka Din mangalmay Ho I am from India
Hello captain, I would like to ask how do you use the rudder pedals while during takeoff?
I touch on it briefly in this video
How do you know that your nose gear is aligned with taxi line straight?
Please do a standing start on a tight turn in the wet!
I always wondered how the airplane stays relatively straight on takeoffs and avoiding oversteering. Limited movement from the foot pedal 😊😊
How do you manually trim.. Thats better question.. Might save lifes if you learn.
How you guys follow the taxiway middle markers and keep the nose wheel on the line so accurately?
I have a question that I've wondered about: Logically, I'm tempted to believe that this is reversed for the FO (push = left; pull = right). Is this correct or is it mirrored? Thanks for the video and you got a subscription.
How does the aircraft stop 🛑 is it the engine who make it stop or the brake??
this plane i have to fight with on landing, it's quite heavy but all in the fun of flying..
Thanks dear
Which simualtion software is used in these full flight simulators? Is it p3d?
Very well explained, but didn't tell us here how a pilot keeps the nose gear on the yellow line?
Is this filmed in a flight simulator?
thanks i will try this at home
Thank you now I can finally taxi my super jet in my backyards underground tunnel
Seems way easier than the metroliners .. they were a nightmare to turn in taxiways
Thank You❤❤❤❤
Thank brother
thank you🥰🥰
Does he leave the engines power running or does he idle for every turn
Depends-usually idle thrust gets you round the turns
@@pilot_obet what about the u-turns and what if you're more heavier do you still use more thrust
Is the tiller linked like the yoke?
No
Whats the pcn requirement for 747-8 homie?
The tiller seems so counter intuitive.
Thx Capt
Does this model aircraft give you an instrument panel indication of the nose wheel angle?
Not really it’s by feel/experience etc. like driving a car- you don’t have an indication of how much you have turned the car - you just visually know
@@pilot_obet I didn’t have one in the Learjet either, but I thought it would be useful in an aircraft this large, before you apply a great deal of thrust on the ground to a nose wheel that is turned at an extreme angle.
@@arthouston7361 if the body gear is not centred once on the runway, you get a configuration warning.
@@pilot_obet I can think of times when a configuration warning would’ve been nice to have, but they weren’t equipping aircraft with those systems back in the 1970s.
Ooooh, how about it 74gear Kelsey, he just showed thousands of people how to maneuver a 747 on the ground 😮…in 5mins!
I always thought you turn with the yolk 😂.
Don't know why but I thought it turned by foot pedals. Thanks!
Does the tiller DEFAULT to "the straight position" to make it easy to align on the runway?
Yes
And knowing is just half the battle.
