Midwest Airlines Boeing 717 Cockpit View of an ILS Approach, KATL

[tnccoach]

I love how your captain exited the high speed at 60 knots. Very cool indeed.

Midwest isn't around anymore? They were the first airline I interviewed with in 1997 but they didn't hire me. I ended up at NWA a few months later but hated the cold MN winters so while the pilots were on strike in the summer of 98 I applied at AWA which is now USAir. Still there.

Enjoyed the passenger experience onboard a Qantas 717.  Too bad Boeing no longer makes this great little airplane.

Thanks for the video!

Can someone break down 2 me . what is ILS ? i always see it on my flight simulator x

[flightsimmer1234]

@FirstFlight271 instrumental landing system...where autopilot lands it for you...all you have to do is manage speeds n flaps n gear n stuff like tht...but not altitude :)

[FirstFlight271]

@flightsimmer1234 ahhh ok thanks . that really helped

Man I'm barely 14 and I'm going to highschool in couple of months and I'm already fascinated with aircrafts but I'm not shire to go a regular highschool or to an aviation highschool?

[jordyboy321]

man thats fuckin scary but still wanna be a pilot lol

[popester7]

@1:07, he turned the clouds off. I love that switch!

[JetChick717]

mickithebush: I make the standard callout prompted by an indication on one of the displays that, should the flying pilot choose, the plane is now in the appropriate "flight condition" when reverse thrust could be applied (which rapidly slows the plane's rate of travel on the landing rollout). I don't believe the flying pilot in this video used reverse thrust. Our standard callout at Midwest for this was "reverse available," which is what you hear me saying. Thanks for your interest.

[mickithebush]

What was it she said at 2:06 about "reverse"??

[jordyboy321]

@mickithebush reverse thrust available because they touched down

[PilotUTA]

Looks like a nice airplane to fly. the flight deck reminds me a lot of the MD-11. What is your opinion of this airplane?

[JetChick717]

@PilotUTA: The airplane was sweet to fly. And the passengers loved the 2x2 seating (until Midwest got rid of it), as well.

[crunkteezy]

@PilotUTA The panel was based off of the MD-11, Nice observation.

[gokumalo]

If only someone can make a detailed model for the sim world to keep this legacy living.

[rilowig]

@gokumalo Jetcity aircraft has a great 717-200 for FS9 or FSX(have to change panel and sound for FSX) it is freeware and very well done. Hope that helps

[NSFThunderbird]

Damn, that was one hell of a sweet landing, right on the center line! Great Job!

[JetChick717]

@NSFThunderbird: It was! The captain was great to fly with which makes for a pleasurable trip!

[darioandrade]

Yeah steady camera all the way! Why can't other people understand we need to see from a locked spot and not panning around every detail. Good job.

[brownbrownson]

this is awesome!

[teledawgwi]

Very well done. 5 stars. Props to the a-one videographer. He (or she) must be a real professional.
