Pacific Blue B737 Cockpit Landing Auckland-Wellington

[Temperos89]

Does It was an ILS approach or just a manual one? I didn't hear the AP disengage waning, so...

[FlyPacificBlue]

@Temperos89 It was a visual approach onto runway 16. The autopilot was disengaged before I started filming. Cheers.

@FlyPacificBlue What a good landing for a visual approach :)

No offense meant but looks a tad rough and a bit off-centre after landing....Regardless, nice job! (And, NO, I'm not a pilot!)

[tnobe3]

@msk7046 It's called windy Wellington for a reason :P That was actually rather smooth. Look at my vid to see how smooth it was :)

The bad thing about cockpit videos is that you can't see both cockpit and outside ahead.

Im a reasonably experienced pilot and fly this bit of dog every day.

Great video mate! When did you film it?

[FlyPacificBlue]

Thanks mate, I filmed it back in March last year (2008).

[benfalas]

How? I mean, its not forbidden to be in the cockpit while the pilots are flying?

[clc38]

Great shot of cutting the throttle then applying the thrust reversers!

[FlyPacificBlue]

Thanks mate, a little bumpy after touchdown though :)

Why do we have people pretending to be pilots? Using language like "reasonably experienced" and describing the 737-800 as "a bit of a dog" strongly suggests to me that the most you fly is a keyboard!

[zippyTRG]

It flies ok.. as long as you don't pull the nose up to 11 degrees on T/O while the gear is still sitting on the ground....

Iam 32 years old and i do fly the 737-800, and i don't live in australia.

[FlyPacificBlue]

My apologies, I just read that your profile stated otherwise. Anyhow a great airline, I worked for them as a Load Contoller in AKL. A great bunch of guys!

[jhaigh03]

the 737 is not a pig to fly are you a pilot i am and i fly the 737-800 for Pacific Blue and the plane flyes like a dream like all things it has its moments but other than that its a great areoplane and i agree the 767 and 777 are also great plane

[FlyPacificBlue]

Pacific Blue dont employ 19year old pilot from Australia...hmm...

However, you are correct, not only does it look great (esp with the winglets) but I would imagine it flys well from what Ive heard.

[haughtney]

Nice views of WLG, and despite the nice displays..its still a 40 year old design that flys like the dog it is. Cheap to build though.

[musicalaviator]

no stovepipe engines on the NG's. Though I'd probably say not much has changed apart from the materials used and the avionics since the -300/400 classics. -800's a bit longer though.

Cool Video!
