It actually slowed down very fast (especially for a cargo plane!). Very smooth landing, and he actually hand flew into the final approach. Very good, Captain! 👊😎
Stunning ! It makes the 747 look like a small propeller approaching a small mountain airfield ! But it's a jumbo jet ! The queen of the sky surrounded by mountains landing at a high altitude ! Wow !
How cool is that a virtually brand NEW Boeing 747-8F freighter. What a super cool thing to fly. I flew cargo in LARGE jet as well as Passengers in LARGE jets and I FAR preferred cargo. There were never any complaints from those boxes about the food NOR the rough ride
My hat is off to every one who flys , From commercial jets to military 💯 respect ! You people got the best job in the world in my book. Be safe and God bless .
Finally, here it is, the first video after a long time. A lot more content will follow in the next months. Thank you all for your support to the channel. Enjoy this beautiful approach and landing to Quito!
Wowwww zo gááf ik woon in Ecuador , gráág alsjeblieft ook de take off vanaf Quito uploaden. Kan ik jou persoonlijk bereiken , heb je een e-mail adres ? Stay tuned ik ga binnenkort ook een klassieke opname uploaden uit 2009 vanuit de cockpit van de SLM / Surinam Airways Boeing 747-300 PZ-TCM ( Amsterdam - Paramaribo ) !
Coming from a minimal aviation background great job to the pilots and a special shout out to the editing and footage contained in the video. Superbly done!
This is a honor to watch, honestly. The only 747 that arrives to Quito is a cargo used mostly to export flowers, and I get to see the pilots behind that!? Simply amazing! Also there's some history to this video. If this was really recorded/uploaded on Nov 2019, it means this was one of the first flight they did after a series of riots halted the entire nation and marked a before and after in Ecuador. This is one of the first flights on our new 21st century period.
hallo, blij dat jullie weer terug zijn. Ik zit te genieten. Heb vliegangst, maar met deze Captain durf ik wel de hele wereld over te vliegen. Alleen jammer dat hij alleen Cargo vliegtuigen vliegt en geen passagiersvliegtuigen. Geweldige vlucht. Ga zo door.....
My friends, that was a NICE landing. gentlemen, the entire crew there, working together, made for a nice flight. i simmed this landing. with this plane lol. at this airport. but added complete engine failure to the mix. so i had to go ap off. wasnt pretty but it survived. i am envious of your occupation, but being as im an amputee ( mrsa) as well as a diabetic, the only way i can get some stick time is with another pilot. in A CESSNA. either that way or using an ultralight. i can fly. bt not ever in this . sooooooooo i enjoy watching these flights uploaded. and i duplicate them on fsx. i rigged my thrustmaster pedals with a loop since ive but one foot. but again tyvm for taking me along.
You can see the stress of this 2 men. How he reassures going back and forth with his hands to the controls. The moving inside the seats. Co-pilot holding his hand on dash board panel. I mean, this 2 extraordinary pilots. They have a challenge looking straight back at them. Aproaching at a high speed. There was a cliff right before the run way starts. Damm it's all I can say. That's a damm hard airport to land something that big like a 747.
@@dmrxy. Moet 111 is a Frenchy it sounds like. So he's in heat for the A380....the French Bassett Hound with wings. Also someone needs to remind Moet 111 that the A380 is DONE!! 747's are STILL being built as freighters bc Americand designed it for dual purpose use:cargo or passenger!! Airbus was only concerned with beating Boeing as far as having the biggest plane. Typical...always trying to "one up" Americans. 747 was built in 1969 and still flying today. .
Awesome capture cap, like two months ago, we went around just in front of a KLM 744F (taxing in) in Quito, they landed just before we go around, crazy winds, starting with tail changing to head winds on short final, we were in a B767F from Latam Cargo! Keep doing these amazing videos!
Incredible view from the controls. Thank you. When I was a 5 year old (I’m 52) I flew with my parents to Borneo to visit grandpa who was consulting for logging operators for Weyerhaeuser. We connected through Singapore. I actually sat on the pilots lap in the cockpit on approach (not landing). I don’t remember it but my Dad said the pilot told me not to touch the windows because they are hot. I touched the window of course. Cool story back in the day. Don’t remember it. 9-11 changed everything.
Outstanding performance and footage! Something very notable about this approach and landing is how much more was at stake when landing a seemingly easy to fly behemoth! Consider an approach speed of 150-160ish knots (in benign conditions), take into consideration the high pressure and density altitude which can yield a small performance margin and a high ground speed of 180-190 Mph (200 + kph) as they cross the runway's threshold. Imagine losing an outboard engine during take-off with the buildings just off the departure end of the runway (let alone surrounding terrain). This is what is being grossly discounted when bean counters consider more automation and less human talent in the flight-deck. Good work by the captain and crew.
Thanks for posting and sharing. The "old" Quito airport was very challenging and one of the highest elevations This new Quito airport is not as big a challenge but still a challenge and has a runway that is much, much safer. The old airport (2,813 m/9,228 ft elevation) (3,120 m 10,236 ft runway length) and the new airport (2,400 m 7,874 ft elevation) Much , Much lower (4,100 m 13,451 ft runway length) much more room to land and the mountains are a little father away but still a danger if you are off course. Love the video of the new airport. great views.
@@herbertcourtesie2459 Not sure about the date of this video. February 2013 was the last flight into the old airport. But this is not the old airport in Quito. This is the new Quito Airport, NOT the old airport. The old airport was surrounded by the city. In the video you see lots of green and countryside(12:45 to 13:00). Look at the satellite views and it matches perfectly. There is a big ravine at the approach end of the runway. There were no ravines anywhere near the old airport just lots of city and buildings. Notice no buildings here only nice green countryside, which means this is the "new" airport. Amazing views. One of the best looking airports in the world.
Thank you Captain for this upload. You videos have been greatly missed and I am sure that I am not the only one to say that. I am looking forward to your future uploads! :)
Exactly this approach with exactly this plane is in tutorilals for msx flight sim.Tried many times,always challenging.Cant imagine how is in real life.Amazing.
Oh my goodness. Thank you very much. I have to say I absolutely love this video! I am a subscriber for a long time. What I really love about this video is that you allow the video to tell the story without any outside interference. Too many of your colleagues post very good departure or arrival videos but feel compelled to dictate the story via their editing. I hope you do not change your style. Thank you again. BobD!
That canyon on short final sure is intimidating and would create some mighty gusts to contend with. Amazing that enough flat land was there (or created?) to accommodate an airport in such rugged terrain at such altitude.
*'O YOU GUYS MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY...LOLOLO...IT JUST PROVES YOUR PROS!!* *THANKS FOR SHARING, IF AND WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT, WE LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS, WE KNOW SOME OF THEM, BUT NOT ALL...IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR VIEWERS TO UNDERSTAND MORE AND WHY YOU FIDDLE WITH THE KNOBS, ETC.* *THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!*
Wow, I didn´t know my city airport was so challenging for pilots, by the way I live in the valley in front of that beautiful mountain 7:10 just below of the plane route.

Pilots make this look so fluid and simple. Amazing jobs these folks do!
Love the pilot channel love airaplanes since I was a young kid ! Now 77 years old !
Greaat job Captain - nice one! 😎✔👍😎✔👍
I love how they threaded a perfect needle between those thunderstorms.
😍😍🌹
those thunderstorms are actually terrain reflections
Welcome to Ecuador
Stunning !
It makes the 747 look like a small propeller approaching a small mountain airfield !
But it's a jumbo jet !
The queen of the sky surrounded by mountains landing at a high altitude !
Wow !
How cool is that a virtually brand NEW Boeing 747-8F freighter. What a super cool thing to fly. I flew cargo in LARGE jet as well as Passengers in LARGE jets and I FAR preferred cargo. There were never any complaints from those boxes about the food NOR the rough ride
Very nice video The clouds were great
KeepSafe .. pilot is a hero🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! is beautiful, and my town is wonderful, my Quito!
If the planet were populated with people like me, we would be walking everywhere for eternity. Three cheers for pilots past, present, and future.
My hat is off to every one who flys ,
From commercial jets to military
💯 respect ! You people got the best job in the world in my book.
Be safe and God bless .
Well said Johnny
Wooooow Boeing big woooooooooooooooow great airplanes great you feel safe for sure inside it it and another feeling great .
The true masters at their craft always make THE most difficult and challenging things look very easy and this looks easy AF!
Good job guys! Im so proud of y'all
Those guys have the best job in the world.
very smooth Landing
Those views are spectacular!! I have so much respect for pilots as they truly hold every soul in the hand

MASTERFUL piloting this grand 747-400 in very difficult terrain.
What a beautiful Airplane! The Queen of the Skies has always been my favorite!
Done that a few times myself at Quito starting with DC8's in the 80's and finishing with 747's in 2014. Nice video.
Coming from a minimal aviation background great job to the pilots and a special shout out to the editing and footage contained in the video. Superbly done!
Fantastic video, thank you very much!
That landing was so smooth I couldn't even tell when you actually touched down. Great flying.
Those pilots are straight up BOSSES when it comes to those planes!!🙂
"The Queen of the Skies", the Boeing 747...what a beauty.!
Amazing cloud formations! The 747 one of history's most phenomenal engineering miracles! At least 99.999999999999% of the time, eh?
Flying the 'Queen of the Sky' must be a great experience every time.
Great video. I liked the extra footage of walking down the stairs and driving away revealing the beautiful 747 KLM Cargo Plane.
The captain really kissed the asphalt! Perfect landing.
The Boeing 747 is my favorite aircraft, ever.

Beautiful landing. Awesome job by the pilots
Never been to Quito, totally different than what I thought, beautiful jet, very easy to fly and land, wonderful airplane...
This is really not Quito. This is in Tababela located on a warm valley far east from Quito
Quito a is very beautiful city.
Great job! Literally and figuratively. Without having been a domestic or long-haul pilot, I still think this is the coolest job.

Am a cargo pilot, well done! Those of you who cant handle heavy load, you have no idea that this is not a small Cessna, cheers
Wonderful video thank you for sharing, we miss you, Queen of the Skies ❤️✈️
Very nice approach and landing. Like to see pilots actually hand flying in VFR conditions!
That is a Serious Job my Hats Off
Admire Pilots!
What a beautiful, massive bird! I wish I could fly the queen of the skies!

Merci pour toutes l'équipage ..vraiment bravo le pilotage , un métier noble et au même temps difficile ...!
Nice to have you back sir! Great video! Thank you!
Welcome back The Pilot Channel
I missed your 747’s cockpit takeoffs and landings. It’s great to be back on UA-cam.
WOW!VERY NICE AND THX 4 POSTING !
Flew there with the 777F - beautiful place! stunning
Procedures baby! That’s what flying is all about!
Beautiful this is my favorite channel love to see you fly it is so unique. You are the best of all.💕👍💝💕
Thank you very much!
Very, very good video. Thank you very much for share it.
nice to see a pilot manual flying long before the landing
One of the best aviation videos I've seen, aside from the audio. Good work.
I like the 50 year old blue KLM Volkswagen type 2 bus @ 17:48 and 19:58. Amazing it's still around and in such great condition!
