Final simulator ride for a friend who retires in 3 months on the B747

- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Today I conducted a final and last proficiency check on a good friend that I trained some 18 years ago. Gary first upgraded to Captain on the Boeing 747-200 ‘Classic’ Superjet (with Flight Engineer)18 years ago. I was the Base training captain that did his first takeoff and landings in the Left seat for his command upgrade on the aircraft. In those days we used to use on occasion, Prestwick airport. We would pick up the aircraft at Manchester airport after it arrived from Dubai. Once it was offloaded, I would hop in with my students for touch and goes😊Gary previously flew the Hawk, Jaguars and the Tornado in the Royal Air Force- he is a top pilot. With 15 minutes or so to spare, Gary had a last request- to fly the Kai Tak approach of old Hong Kong airport-. We even flew under the Tsing Ma bridge that leads to the new Hong Kong airport😂- a bit of fun go Gary. Watch the video😀😀✈️✈️✈️So it was appropriate in many ways that having trained him on the B-747 18 years ago, I got to do his final proficiency check before he retires in April😀✈️✈️✈️✈️ We only have the best . All the very best Gary!👍🏾”We are Cathay Pacific “
(Could you recognise all the alerts and warnings that sounded in the video clips?- list the ones you recognise 😀)
3 full grown boys horsing around and having fun.
When you said he's just playing around, I instantly thought "I'd go to Kai Tak!" and 🤣😂 when you said he was there.
What a memorable way to end one's career. What a blast! Nothing beats reliving KaiTak as a way to create a lasting flying memory! Very generous and encouraging of you Capt.Obet
This is one of the best videos on youtube. People just havent seen it. Its such a special experience and very rare for the public to see.
@@kalashnikovdabs cheers
i think gary is going to need that simulator in his home office gary needs no magenta line that unpowered glide to landing was awesome
Interesting to hear how the graphics need to be updated to allow for new buildings. Absolutely fascinating to see pilots 'at play' Superb skills...
Absolutely fantastic, about to retire yet he was like a kid with a new toy, the best sim video ever.
Yes!
When your job goes with pleasure, dream becomes reality !!! Wonderful 👍🏽
Wow.. this is 5 years ago and Im watching this in 2024, I hope that they are both doing good and you Obet 👍
A DREAM last proficiency check full of fun and nice souvenirs between a real and very sympatic pro "band of brothers" as wrote Ernest Gann, who was one ot them.
Oh Kai Tak is so hard Airport. Buildings and Ocean wow good Job
Now that I can see Captain Gary can fly under that bridge…..I want him as my captain. Crazy he has to retire.!
Hi Capt... awesome. Missed the experiences approaching into Kai Tak on jump seat of L1011 and the B742 which used to operate the PEN/HKG and KUL/HKG vv sectors. Which later replaced by A333 and the B777s.
100% love the stunts you guys did in the vid. Too bad, I have never got the chance to try the sim. Was arranging hard through flight ops but never get a slot.
Thanks for the vid again.
Yes,Yes. Very nice and much longer then all your other videos, which is great. Keep them nice and long the time.
Terrain call out alert. Pull up. Sink rate. Master caution alert. Bank alert. Stick shaker alert. This video is just like a Skardu approach captain!
Love your videos! 😁😄😃
C Archer thank you for watching them😊
Great video, so awesome that Gary got this sim session! (Lol, "I waited 25yrs for this" - Gary). Great landing.
Another good one Crew members. Thank you Capt.Obet 🇺🇸
You guys are pros! Thanks for sharing. Safe travels!
Great stuff. I have to recommend the same flight to my sim instructor next time👍 have a great retirement Garry 🎉
Thrilling! I thought my flight sim sessions were crazy. Haha.
747: "Bank Angle Bank Angle"
Capt: Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah 😒😏
Congrats on a great career Gary. Enjoy retirement!
I would've passed out from that bank angle.
Barf bags for everyone!lol!
Pure awesomeness. Cheers 🍻
Your Just Perfect Man, Very Good Teacher man.
cool!
soo beautiful!!
Fair winds to you!!😀
Pull up, pull up Gary!
Whoever designed that airport was trying to test pilots."too low terrain pull up sink rate and your dreaded stick shaker" I am surprised nobody thumped into a building
Not nearly as many buildings around the airport then, but you're right still.
Interestingly he went more left side than you normally used to see, maybe that was because of that easterly wind. Can't make it out but looks like quite a big number!
Really happy for you guys 😁😁😁
How do you retire from that? You have the best view of the world!
lol this is so cool, thanks for sharing.
I remember flying the hong-kong approach in the 737-800 full-motion sim, I think I was 13 at the time. Boy, that turn at the end really stresses you out, I gotta tell ya! Even with the flight director, I couldn't believe how steep I had to turn. I did land, but let's say it wasn't a very smooth landing, heh heh. I haven't been able to fly in a sim since, but that was the time of my life.
Wait, how did you get to use a sim at 13..?
@@hariranormal5584 There's companies that hire out flight sims, I went to one of those. It was very expensive, think ~€100 for an hour. I would say it's worth it in the end, but it definitely feels overpriced
@@LunaProtogen Ahh I see. If you don't mind me asking but like do you plan to have a career in aviation based stuff or did you do it just purely for an hobby?
great video
Fantastic!
flew manilla to kai tek in P3D
used 717 n dc8,,,,, great fun
n fealing of accomplishment
That is good !
You know he's a 747 captain because even at the very end he retracted the the speedbrake handle
10:36 xD
These videos are awesome
Wow ❤
cool
Beautiful dead stick to landing
Wow
Haha..nice
Had these maneuvers been done in reality would the plane be handle the stresses put upon it?
Boys will be boys 😂 😂
Nick Name terms, that's how you know.
Alternative title: this plane does NOT shut the hell up...
Waited 25 years to do what I do everyday on a sim.
Boy do I miss flying. Flew passenger on the Kai Tak approach and was exhilarating. One question, on that sim ride after rolling out on final, how close was that building on the left. Could have sworn the left wing would have hit it.
❤️❤️🙏
Captain Obert is from 🇿🇼
Is it possible in real life? I cant believe it!
Tarcisio Alves you probably could but likely cause some structural damage😋
I hope he flow better than this throughout his career, though he very well might have been catching the , you know favorable tailwinds, all along. Gary happy retirement. you will be remembered by bank angles. Hahaha....
Probably this weekend I can go to the Checkerboard for a field trip.
That will be good. Take some pics
@@pilot_obet7815 BTW, from your video of Lateral & Vertical Navigation B747-400, I have a question: Why sometimes I see when the speed tape indicates say flaps 10, pilots start retract to flaps 5 in other models (737, 777…)? Is that 747 have different flaps retract procedures like your demonstration in the video? Thanks
Fly it like a cessna...
Wow where abouts is the simulator as I have flown the same
why the message pull up?
Like really ??????
