    Let me take you along to Amsterdam Airport, Schiphol (EHAM). A cockpit view landing in a Boeing 737-800 (Boeing 737NG) on ‘the polderbaan’, runway 18R. The video shows what it's like to fly a standard ILS approach in a Boeing 737-800. Interesting facts, approach charts and actual call-outs and Boeing procedures were added to provide a sense of everything that is going on inside the cockpit during landing. Let me know what you think of this video guys! BOEING 737 800 LANDING Amsterdam Airport 18R | Cockpit View | Life Of An Airline Pilot

    Michelle, another great video! A couple of points:
    1. Somehow this video felt even more immersing (better!) than previous landing videos. Maybe it's the cameras' locations and switching between them.
    2. It's surprising how shallow is EHAM descent. You stayed at 5000/4000 feet for miles!
    3. You need a new aircraft, the way the top of dashboard was moving at landing made it look like a WW1 plane :)

    I am sure there are rules and regulations working for an airline, but one thing I love, when I watch more General Aviation youtubers, is they almost always have full ATC recorded. So the viewers hear the pilots communicating with each other as well as any ATC communications. I understand if it is not possible, but if there was any way to include those, it would make these even more special. Even the ones that include ATC are usually not monitoring busy Bravo Airspaces, as GA flights are usually routed around them, so it would be great just to hear all the other chatter you are dealing with as you land, at a large airport, as I try to follow along as well.

    • @DutchPilotGirl

      @@BillAnt - as she takes the plane to Pier D, this must be a passenger flight. Pure cargo planes go elsewhere on this airport, not to passenger terminals afaik.
      Not making announcements must have fallen into the editing out cracks. I Guess she was co-pilot here and the other person may have made the announcements.
      I was wondering the same thing about the dash vibration. Seems to me this will wear out cable connectors in the dash faster than desired - but it my be catered for in the design and component selection (that said, considering how Boeing cut corners in recent years, I feel this needs very good monitoring from the airline's maintenance dept.)

    A picture of calm competence! As a retired RAF transport pilot I rarely watch aviation videos nowadays but occasionally I need a fix and this did it for me. Great camera angles. The only additional thing I would have liked to see was the stand entry guidance system. This was hidden by a windscreen pillar. It was very helpful to include views of the STARS and the taxiway layout. I have often flown in and out of Schiphol but never as an operating pilot.
    My daughter flew for 13 years as first officer for Flybe until shortly before that airline's demise then for about 18 months as first officer with BA on B747s before being made redundant because of the effects of the pandemic. She then worked briefly on the shop floor of a supermarket before returning to BA on the ground in the LHR cargo department. She has now just been offered a position as B747 first officer with Longtail cargo airlines and thus avoids having to join the BA low cost operation planned to start at LGW which would have been for a minimum of 5 years during which time she would not have been eligible to apply for another BA long haul fleet at LHR which is what she now hopes to do in due course. I am happy for you that you apparently managed to avoid the dreaded Covid redundancy epidemic.

The initial plane I flew on was a Canadian made plane, twin engine about the size of a Boeing 737.

Suddenly, it was like a giant hand pushed the nose of the Cessna down hard. I had to fight the instinct to pull back on the stick because I was coming in without power. I would have stalled. I pushed the control yoke down slightly and made the landing. He and I both kissed the ground that day as we exited the aircraft! That landing had to be a little scary in gusts like that!

      After hearing the various pilots on UA-cam talk about go-arounds and the reasons for them, it's comforting to know that if the plane I'm in does a go-around, it's because the pilots are putting everybody's safety first by not landing unless they are 100% sure about it.

Thank you for sharing your flight experiences with us and the effort you put into your videos. It would be rude not to subscribe, so I have. Thanks again. Stay safe and fly well. Simon

    I am very impressed with you. I loved that you gave footnotes, this really helps explain what you are doing. I love to watch aircraft as I have many at about 2500 ft above my home heading for a landing ( mostly freight flights) at Rockford, I’ll (RFD). I’m 76 and still get excited to watch and listen for aircraft and head out to my deck to spot them. I should have taken flight lessons years ago, that’s one of my regrets in life so now I only watch from my home in Belvidere,il. Great video, great piloting and God bless.

    I am subscribed to your channel. I have truly enjoyed watching you work and have enjoyed your welcome, informative and very educational videos with open arms.
    But above all, I love your rich speaking voice. Your English is Impeccable and your presentations are so professionally done. Thank you for bringing us common folk into your world inside the cockpit. You are a testament and an asset to the world of flying and to the airline industry.
    And most of all, thank you for just being you. It makes your videos enjoyable to watch. And not to put too fine a point on this part... I still love those gorgeous gun-metal blue eyes. Hey, I'm a mask carver/artist. Eyes are important to me.
    Never stop doing what you love... and thank you most of all for remembering us, the common folk who knows nothing about the important and valuable kind of work you do. Not everyone can do what you do... that's why you're so special.
    If I could, I would share one of my photos of my work with you to show you what I do. It isn't as important as what you do... but I'd be proud to share it with you nonetheless.

    Loved this video. By chance I flew exactly that approach in ms flight simulator last week. It's a long taxi to the gate from there. Wish I could have seen the docking guidance better but I'm not sure where the camera would need to be to get the pilots view
    It must be hard swapping seats and learning to fly with the other hand.

    I really love your videos, thx for making them available. As a non pilot who loves aviation, I really appreciate watching them! Question- are there limitations or certain policies you must follow to film inside the cockpit? For example, do you need permission from your airline or regulators? Do they require seeing video before made public? Do your co pilots need to sign off? Or do you just sneak your camera into the cockpit 😉. Thanks for all you do.

    Extremely standard! Very nice Captain Michelle! I suspect you chose this video to post because of the landing, which was one of the best executed ones I've ever witnessed. That's just it with any Boeing 737: don't do anything with pitch until you reach 10 ft. After that it's just power off and flared it. Nicely done! A very interesting thing is the tiller on the right side. I didn't have that luxury in my first officer days... What about the docking system at the gate? Is it ground configurable for the 737 right seat? Best wishes from Brazil!

    The caption about the automatic adjustment of the trim wheels had me thinking: Is there any health and safety concern related to those trim wheels adjusting spontaneously, like getting your fingers jammed/pinched next to them or something like that? And then I wondered more broadly: What health and safety concerns are there for pilots when you exclude everything that deals with keeping the plane safe? That could be a video :-)

      The stress can increase at that point particularly at an unfamiliar airfield with a long taxi route that has runway incursion hotspots. Only by the time the engines are shutdown can there be relief. Even then you will be preparing for the next sector.

      Pilots don’t really stress over any one aspect of the experience. For us it’s a continual chain of actions and expectations. We are constantly doing everything we can to manage what is about to happen and control the situation and keep things inside our comfort zone. Sure, if you have to land in really shitty conditions we are happy that that is behind us successfully, but until we are safely at the gate and shut down, we don’t really let our guard down. Taxiing on a large airport is an experience full of perils if we take a wrong turn, can be fatal for many. Normally flying more than 2 or 3 legs in a day so even at the gate we are already moving on to whatever is next. It can be very busy, and we need to stay focused. Emotion, worry, and stress are best left out of the equation, for they solve nothing and only contribute to distraction.
