I don't speak German, but I do catch on to the Lufthansa aircrew's subtle little bits of humour, sitting here near Trudeau Airport in Montreal, QC, Canada on my computer. Their humour is very crafty and subtle!
German humour is all about that buddy.... Meet the professionals on their job on the airport, in the cockpit, or even in a library, or the bank manager. Germans are living for there job until dead since military didn´t suite them anymore it is there replacement for it and they take it very sirious, even the humour. Thing is Germans have a very humoristic culture, the only sad thing is they can´t laugh about themselves very good so every satirist if not getting slaughtered will be critisized and penalized unofficially 10 times a lifetime for sure. I can tell you that because I am German and they tell me to be kind of a bit more british, because of not taking things very sirious and mostly joking about myself for benefit.
I dont know why are many people here complaining about them spending time with chating, there wasnt any emergency, it was pretty basic so what to do, descents and approaches take so long sometimes, should they just sit silently and get bored?:) Its their job, they done this propably hundreds of times, so why not have some fun :)
Excellent video. I like the professionalism in the cockpit. I fly Lufthansa often, and I seek them out because they give me peace of mind in the air over the Atlantic. Lufthansa rocks!!
This is so cool. I monitor Seattle ATC on a regular basis and hear these controllers every day! I've flown Lufthansa in my travels to, from Greece, out of Atlanta. (ATL)
welcome, we have really many dutch pilots flying for Lh, they have been trained in KLM flying school in the 90ies and after a crisis at KLM they didn´t get a job there, so they got hired by Lh. It is a tough time now in aviation. I wish you good luck, hope your dream comes true same like it did for me!
I like you video good job, very professional , I am a&p Technician with experience in Airbus family, nice. the best video I see regard Jorge live in Vegas USA.
Obter informações de dentro do cockpit de uma aeronave é muito interessante,espero que gravem mais vídeos , porque já faz algum tempo que não vejo diferente....Desde que seja permitido...
the best video i seen, i love that i can listen into the communications, tower, atc, etc..and also see the pilots with the panel and controls....amazing and best video so far i seen ever....good work, and thank you..
Thank you, verry interresting to see your job and to hear "mizes speaking". I'm surprised that you can understand she and even memorizes the infos. Otto
The Lufthansa crew is very well trained and they follow all the rules, that´s why they have the position of one of the best airlines in the world. The same thing happens in Air Portugal (TAP) another one of the best airlines too... Nelson
This Crew makes an ILS Approach. ILS has a localizer and a glidslope. You can make an autoland with ILS in right category. So, first you're intercept the localizer, this is for the direction and after this the glidslope this is for descent.
AIRBUS A-330 LUFTHANSA FLIGHT 490 INBOUND TO SEATTLE. YOU CAN APPRECIATE IN THIS VIDEO, ""IFR"" COMMUNICATIONS, ATC, APPROACHES AND GROUND STABLE COMMUNICATIONS. EXCELLENT FRASEOLOGY IN BETWEEN FLIGHT CREW AND ATC. GREAT VIDEO!!!!.
I say go for it! whatever makes you tick. also hearing lady's voice from tower always calm me down before take offs. I don't know why, but this is how it is.
To dream the imposable ! what a career this must be to fly around the world in modern aircraft the training must be intense but the rewards must be incredible ! and to listen tho all that chat on the CB must be fun !
Usually the tower gives them the route but pilots can request their own and the ground will clear them if there's no conflict. At least that's the case for small airports.
The triangular shaped form you are referring to is / was used on all models smaller than A330/A340 i.e. A310 and A320 series. It is called Wingtip Fence. As opposed to the "Blended Winglets" on Boeing aircraft except the 744 which features "classic" winglets...
It hadn't ever occurred to me, but I'll bet Lufthansa pilots hear lots of "Delta... correction... Lufthansa ###" from ATC in the US. DLH is probably pretty easily confused with DAL when you're working quickly.
Ha! I don't think I'd confuse it either, but if you were flying an old 152 or similar with a dodgy radio fit like the one I did my hour building in, you may well find the 1st part clipped! Very well, just thought I might stick it up there in case you or anyone else wanted clarification ;)
the KSEA Ground Controller cleared them on a direct way to the gate and the FO called on the second radioset the Ramp Controller.........( that was cut out in the video ) the Ramp Controller gives then a clearance to taxi into the gate. That is a standard procedure in USA. In all other coutries normally a Ground or an Apron Cotroller gives you a clearance where to taxi to the gate after landing! I fly B-747 for Lh, so I wanted to clear that for you! You may NEVER taxi without a clearance!!!!
By the way, when I learned to fly 8 years ago, I was asked to "taxi into position and hold", while my friends in Europe were asked to "line-up and wait"... Last thíng I heard, the FAA adapted the ICAO phraseology a couple of years back...
haha I am such a nerd, i LOVE these videos. I am a 20-year old girl, who loves fashion/music and other superficial things, AND airplanes. My friends always make fun of me, but its just who i am haha:P I would love to work as a fligh controllant:P
What a great view! I always wanted to be a pilot when I was a boy. But I was not so good at Maths. So I never reached that dream. I still think I would have been a good pilot. Too late now, I'm probably too old, haha. If you fly into Sydney, call in to see us for a latte.
oke thx for clearing that out and it's awesome you fly b747 for lh :D. i would like to become a pilot for KLM but if the waiting line for getting a job there is too big i'm going to look for a job at LH it would be awesome if one of the 2 would become reality.
A bit strange that the captain was both flying and responding to ATC Commands? And the FO didn't seem to be doing anything? Usually they would split it right?
The difference is to avoid confusion, 'taxi and hold' could easily be confused with the instruction just to 'hold', whereas 'line-up and wait' leaves you in no doubt you are entering the active runway without clearance for take-off. I believe it stems from our military, though that may be a myth fed to me during training!
Good video , but on their final to 16c do they see the boeing field? Either way after the localizer is intercepted I don't think they would see the boeing field. I am not from that area but based on the areal charts boeing field is quiet a bit far from ksea. They where on final app after the field was showed up. Great video.
I flew Lufthansa from Seattle to Frankfurt, some of the smoothest landings have been with this airline :) I love listening to Germans speak all day :)

That was friggin' awesome... accents and all. MAN... I think the hardest part about being a pilot is interpreting everything on the radio!!!
Gotta love the pilot sneezing into his hand at 2:45 and then operating the controls without wiping his hand at all.
+traxan650 ..Your point?
+Ken Price It's unhygenic for the next pilot to use those controls.
+Ken Price, what's the point of sneezing into his hand? xD

Nějakej Plaesant Sterile cockpits are the norm.
Query and response between pilots and ground is what keeps us safe.
Because of Flight Simulator X players.
Lufthansa is a great airline. The best I've ever flown on. Hope to fly on the 747-8 or A380 with them someday soon.
I've been watching airliners on take-off and landings all day.Thanks for the cockpit view.
I am a retired pilot and found this very interesting. Great cock-pit procedure and view. It brings back lots of good memories. Thank you....
I can't get enough of this type of videos...Magnifico!!
Lovely..... At 2:44 he sneezes and then changes the heading. Other pilots and engineers have to touch that!
Jack Adams So what ?! He can't get up & waste 2 + minutes washing and drying his hands.
I never actually said he had to. I'm just saying, he could've at least used his sleeve or something. :)
Excellent video. I like the professionalism in the cockpit. I fly Lufthansa often, and I seek them out because they give me peace of mind in the air over the Atlantic. Lufthansa rocks!!
I work at Seatac, S gates mostly. Cool seeing things from a different perspective!
hervorragend !! Outstanding. English with german accent remainds me my beloved father...!! RIP
Er ruhe in Frieden.
I am really admire pilots
Take out the "am". Your sentence becomes correct.
I to like them also
Great video! It goes back to Germany over my house at about 16000 feet. Flight 491. Love watching it pass by
This is so cool. I monitor Seattle ATC on a regular basis and hear these controllers every day! I've flown Lufthansa in my travels to, from Greece, out of Atlanta. (ATL)
Excellent Captain and First Office working together...Captain calls FO by first name....cool
Standard procedure :)
finde ich schon beeindruckend - die Jungs leisten ganze Arbeit!
This video is superb. The shots on the instruments .
It's not just non English speakers, "line up and wait" has been used in Australia for as long as I've been listening.
Superb movie, details and filming, realy amazing work guys
Lufthansa pilots are rigorously screened and selected-they get exactly who they want
welcome, we have really many dutch pilots flying for Lh, they have been trained in KLM flying school in the 90ies and after a crisis at KLM they didn´t get a job there, so they got hired by Lh. It is a tough time now in aviation. I wish you good luck, hope your dream comes true same like it did for me!
one of the B-E-S-T cockpit videos I have seen online! THANK YOU for sharing.
Those controllers are really nice!
Will be on that flight in September, happy to go again to Seattle, hope the weather is fine!
Awesome Flight with Lufthansa
Ty really appreciate this. Hope for you that you have alot of fun flying the plane
What an awesome approach into the best city on earth. Also funny how both the approach and tower controllers called them "delta" on accident
first time realized how difficult and strenous this job as a pilot is in reality ;)
Tolles Video
Thanks a lot for sharing.It's the best view point I have ever seen
C'est super de faire des vidéos comme sa !!!!!
I like you video good job, very professional , I am a&p Technician with experience in Airbus family, nice. the best video I see regard Jorge live in Vegas USA.

Ya they did. I remember doing my last flight saying "taxi into position and hold". Sadly that's in the past. But "line up and wait" is also okay.
Maravilhoso esse voo e pouso. Me fez lembrar dos tempos da VARIG.
One of the best videos
flying in the Seattle Tacoma Everett area is always fun. lots of lots of traffic in close prox
ii love the 747, but a3-series are just WONDERFULL planes!
the best video i seen, i love that i can listen into the communications, tower, atc, etc..and also see the pilots with the panel and controls....amazing and best video so far i seen ever....good work, and thank you..

Sehr professionell! Echt cool zu sehen!
via 2way radio... and yes, it's commonly referred to as PTT (push to talk)
Krass, Horatio Cane arbeitet heute als Lufthansa Captain, hätte ich nicht gedacht... :-)
wao maravilloso esos pilotos valen oro gracias a ellos uno puede unirse a sus familia en otro lado del mundo
Excellent video!!! How many cameras!!! Every single detail shown. Ausgezeichnet!!!
Thank you very much.
( Please keep posting excellent videos ;-) )
Don't let your friends change your love for aviation! Good luck with your dream =] Have a nice day!

He took the Autothrust and hand flew it, quite impressive!

Copilot is wearing a nice Sinn E6B Chronograph watch. Great taste in watches.

Interessante Dokumentation auf dem Sektor der Verkehrsfliegerei!

Un reportaje elaborado y muy completo, pero. OK
It hadn't ever occurred to me, but I'll bet Lufthansa pilots hear lots of "Delta... correction... Lufthansa ###" from ATC in the US. DLH is probably pretty easily confused with DAL when you're working quickly.
That looks like a hell of a plane
the reverse thrust looks scary though
I think the american ATC talks very clear and precise :)
That end line put me in tears!!! haha
An all round great video. Well done!!!!! Very enjoyable.
Ha! I don't think I'd confuse it either, but if you were flying an old 152 or similar with a dodgy radio fit like the one I did my hour building in, you may well find the 1st part clipped!

your not nerdy, your awesome!
From your new friend in Australia (I ride a Kangaroo to school btw xD)
Perfect time!! Great job LH490!!
L'avion A380 EST EXTRAORDINAIRE
Excellent video!
Awesome video!
I love to fly Lufthansa.
Excellent video, Love this crew!
By the way, when I learned to fly 8 years ago, I was asked to "taxi into position and hold", while my friends in Europe were asked to "line-up and wait"...
Last thíng I heard, the FAA adapted the ICAO phraseology a couple of years back...
All i got outta that was SMOOTH OPERATER!
That's one hell of a job
very good crew coordination - between two equal pilots - even one was P.I.C.
haha I am such a nerd, i LOVE these videos. I am a 20-year old girl, who loves fashion/music and other superficial things, AND airplanes. My friends always make fun of me, but its just who i am haha:P I would love to work as a fligh controllant:P
Anytime you see a Cockpit Layout that looks just like this it's 100% an Airbus. All Airbus planes have nearly the exact same cockpit.
thx for clearing that out
Merci , très intéressant a regarder.
What a great view! I always wanted to be a pilot when I was a boy. But I was not so good at Maths. So I never reached that dream. I still think I would have been a good pilot. Too late now, I'm probably too old, haha. If you fly into Sydney, call in to see us for a latte.
oke thx for clearing that out and it's awesome you fly b747 for lh :D. i would like to become a pilot for KLM but if the waiting line for getting a job there is too big i'm going to look for a job at LH it would be awesome if one of the 2 would become reality.

Sehr gute Dokumentation auf dem Sektor der Verkehrsfliegerei (Pilotenkanzel)
amazing video
The difference is to avoid confusion, 'taxi and hold' could easily be confused with the instruction just to 'hold', whereas 'line-up and wait' leaves you in no doubt you are entering the active runway without clearance for take-off. I believe it stems from our military, though that may be a myth fed to me during training!
at 1:50 music starts playing and i was like "thats cool, they have a stereo receiver in there" lol
We went out on LH-491 in july 2012
I don't like their accent but it's a great video. Great job!
i love this pilot staff i wish i could be be a pilot
This the coolest dam video!! awsome!
Good video , but on their final to 16c do they see the boeing field? Either way after the localizer is intercepted I don't think they would see the boeing field. I am not from that area but based on the areal charts boeing field is quiet a bit far from ksea. They where on final app after the field was showed up. Great video.
Go to Google Maps and look at Seattle. The north end of Boeing Field's runways is directly north of Sea-Tac's runways.
That is a really cool video! Thanks!
Jeez...the female controller needs to popp some tranquils. If she talked to any Air China pilots at this rate, it's a disaster in the making XD
Eine interessante Reportage auf dem Sektor der Verkehrsfliegerei.
Wow! It's amazing how much they rely on computers to control the aircraft. So amazing to be a pilot. :)
