[360kal]

tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock, bloody retard retard wipers!!! lol

[goccioloni]

explain me one thing

the vast majority of videos about kai tak landings are taken the last days it was open, as they say on the description

does this mean that once the world knew that kai tak was about to close every planespotter came to hong kong with a camera and lots of tape while before 1998 the airport was barely known?

[Jamesbond0008]

those wipers are a headache for da pilots lol!

[dustziggy]

Those wipers....can't they design a less annoying wiper system? Id be cursing at them after 5 min.

[JSAirways]

those wipers have to get annoying after a while... lol

[KaityRSProduction]

it says restart, i always thought it said retard too lol

[rmetal]

No...it doesnt

[KaityRSProduction]

yes it does; and if it didnt genius what else do you think it says

fing retard

[rmetal]

....How bout you go into an Airbus cockpit and listen to it, or ask ANY pilot who flies one? Why would it be screaming "restart restart restart"; does that make any sense?

[highonfsx]

you can not jumpseat unless you are an airline employee, it's against FAA regulations which requires all cockpits to be sterile....especially in this world we live in

[tbmavengerstuka]

it says retard... not restart. It means the throttles need to be brought back to idle.

[msethisuwan]

yea i heard 'retard' too, what does that mean? is it like 'touchdown' 'touchdown'?

[jastar08]

"retard" in this content means that the autopilot advises the pilots to put the throttle in idle...

[charlieechovictor]

actually it's not the autopilot thts saying retard but the GPWS

[locdown120]

did u just call me a fool? watch the video b4 u comment..the plane actually saids retard

[locdown120]

100 50 40 30 20 retard retard reatard

[trent8002003]

Kai Tak had an awesome reputation for being a small airport capable of taking on a huge workload. But Kai Tak was ugly and awkward with its haphazard expansion. The cured approach was hair raising and frankly, quite unprofessional for an airport to require its flights to do. Chek Lap Kok is much more beautiful.

[joshslocombe88]

was just wondering if anyone knows what airline this is? im thinking cathay pacific?

[stevekach]

it almost looks like evergreen cargo but its probably old cathay pacific livery..

[uploader1010]

did u know how long i have been looking for windshield wipers like that ?!

[asia1mage]

It's my honor to satisfy you ~^_^

[delacerdaa]

Doesn`t the computer voice sound like Lord Vader from Star Wars LOL

[delacerdaa]

Is it to late to become a pilot? im 37 but i dont have 20/20 vision

[dOOrkyydude]

I know that it's never to old to get flying lessons but I'm not sure about becoming an airline pilot. You can you have 20/20 vision with or without glasses to pass the medical exam! ;)

[stevenmorabu]

don't worry about vision..most, if not all airlines, have pilots who cant see a thing without glasses..don't let anything stop you,even age...b'live me,u'll feel better if you make an effort to it...get flying..!!!! i jus started off my private lisence last month but i don't have all the money in the world...but i know i'll still achieve my dream...get flying..!!!

[ABflyersk8r]

Long LIVE KAI TAK! Great Vid! I like Windshield wipers for some reason lol

[ProfPilot2007]

Thai Airways?

[DeeptothaMars]

Thanks, A330 is my favourite!

[chicolover1]

wow some terrible conditions

[PresidentsAirline]

yes it is saying retard. Retard simply means pull power back to idle for touchdown.

[escarcia]

Really cool, thanks for sharing,

[leandrexxx]

China Airlines

[asia1mage]

When operating in VHHH/Kaitak, China Arlines not using A330 yet.

[chris12121]

ennit, retards

[ishymind]

I thought abort landing, retard....retard......i cant hear it clearly but its hella cool.. dude

[asia1mage]

retard is the Airbus' way to advice the pilot flying to cut the throttle.

[dennisjerulez]

looks en sounds like a nose landing?

[dennisjerulez]

what does the computer say at the end? 50 - 40 - 30 - retard? retard?

lol..

[ishymind]

yeah thats i heard too... I thought abort landing, retard....retard......

[musicalaviator]

All airbuses have Voice callout Altimeter which reads out fifty, fourty, thirty. At 20 feet the throttles should be closed to idle thrust in preperation for reverse thrust, the computer will say "Retard" over and over as a reminder to reduce throttle to idle. It will stop repeating once the throttle is at idle. This is why you often here "Retard Retard Ret.." with one of the repeats suddenly cut off.

[asia1mage]

I believe the radar altitude callout is the function of GPWS, not just Airbus. Have a look at my video named: "GPWS Test Mode". It's a B737NG!

[musicalaviator]

this is true. However boeing aircraft have a different voice readout which does not have "Retard" but instead just sais altitude. 50 40 30 20 10 (usually followed by sound of touchdown and things rattling around). Most glass cockpit aircraft have GPWS, including things like Embrariers, and Dehaviland DHC8 Turboprops. Some of these only say 400 300 200 100 50 and with different voices.

[380300]

Hello, excuse-me, it s not the EGPWS which gives the height above the ground but it's the Radar altimiter, the EGPWS announces : PULL-UP woop woop PULL-UP!!! take care

[musicalaviator]

true.

[thatswassup22]

LOL Noisey wipers....

[SpaceMtnFreak]

Hahaha, those wipers looked like wings that were keeping the plane in the air XD

[cxpilot]

LOL those wipers crack me up. Great video.

[getokgoreng]

what airline is this?

[Rubbergayboy]

The first plane buddy is Cathy Pacific airways. Hong Kong's the Hub for the airline. Plus had a new paint and logo design since this video was shot.

[getokgoreng]

Cool I like the jumpseat video, you shot it perfectly, look like very challenging landing under bad weather.
