[RedSamurai1000]

hahaha wie geil ich fahr nächsten sommer nach miami :D wie ist es da?

[teknoloji38]

Miami is really delightful. regards turkish guy from germany

[thetool96]

Nice vid.

[Mrmartinnico]

wait, you tried to spell landed or landing (description fail)

[alexlt0102]

@Mrmartinnico He wrote it on German! ;-)

[alexlt0102]

@Mrmartinnico He wrote it in German! ;-)

Hey Im The Captain Of LH462

[englandish43]

Why do people clap? It's like clapping when a person parks a car rofl. Landing procedures are practiced and performed so many times that crews know the approaches like the backs of their hands, especially in good visibility.

[GGGunitNextLevel]

I flew many times with Lufthansa. Probably the best airline.

[caballoalizeero]

woh your coming from france no?

[kudak240]

good video!

[qTRUq]

I flew from San Francisco Ca. to Atlanta Ga. and everybody clapped after we landed. Thought that was pretty funny.

[theengelsbak]

i enjoy the flight from frankfurt - Miami:)

[AirplaneJunkieJr]

good video

[Phughy]

That's what they call a parallel landing ;D

Nice video

[Earthlinked]

Not strange at all - in Atlanta - we handel up to 5 planes landing at the same time!!!!! You can always tell an airplane of foreigners - they applaude when the plane lands!!!!!!! Same in Europe - then the wheels touch down - everybody applaudes!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueandSimi]

von welchem Flughafen sind sie weg- geflogen?

[ealhussain]

Nice and smooth landing 

[ahad911]

what are you guys talking about..??

Emirates is the best airline ;)

No doubt and nice video 5/5

[ealhussain]

@ahad911

Coul you advise Emirates best in what?

[MetalboyRock]

I'm gonna be there on July hopefully the weather will be nice with us

[iDansWorld]

Why is there clapping at the end? Anyway, nice video!

[heywatchme101]

why all the clapping??? lol

[kullerkeks3009]

It's german ;-)

[heywatchme101]

Singapore airlines is the best

[heywatchme101]

747-430?????

[SuperAlexrios]

wow that is very impresive landing softest ever

[mo26092609]

whats the date ang the exactly time of the flight?

wann war der flug? zu welcher zeit? schon 2007?

danke

[mo26092609]

Do you remember, whats the name of the crew?

[mannem88]

@mo26092609 no, i'm sorry

[seaboo143]

@mannem88 oh fuck no PTV's?

[a380rockerfan]

YAY! A landing in the 'Drug King Town' But seriously, drugs are very bad for you... Great vid any way!

[2009AdamH]

@dingdongditch1000, Why would they be speaking english first when they're a german airline FOOL! they probably made the second announcement in english it was like that when i flew KLM

[rosenrot201]

....Welcome to Vice City.

Three months until I am gonna see the same scenario for real :-) Of course with Crockett's Theme in my ear ;-)

[iflydelta1101]

i onder why Lufthansa Fly's 47's to miami and A340's-330's to orlando.... :()

[SongsBritneySpears]

and the problem is???

[somebody03321]

Perhaps because more people departing from Germany go to Miami than to Orlando ?

[Ferrariman601]

I think the pilots and the cabin crew appreciate the clapping especially after a long flight. I always thank the flight attendants and pilot after landing.

[muffdriver69]

@Ferrariman601 one time on a 10 hour flight, i clapped like in this video during landing, and many people looked at me as if "why is this idiot clapping for?"

needless to say, i was embarrassed. why didn't people clap with me? :( *sniff*

[xhappyxlifex]

lol that happened to my brother I joined him on the clap but stopped quickly XD

[yoyoyoyoshua]

@muffdriver69 one thing I don't under stand is why do people cap on landings

[LetMeChooseMyName]

um why was everyone clapping?

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

Long flight and they landed safely. Its good nature to the pilots to clap after landing.

[maurimvf]

lol. its too funny be clapping your hands

[dingdongditch1000]

Yes, but Emirates Airlines is more nicer!!!

[southflorida704]

he missed the touchdown zone by alot, but Miami's runways are very long

[johnmju]

worlds greatest airline

[SuperArshavin2010]

@johnmju no british airways is the greatest airline

[trayceyv]

yea i agree...lufthansa means solid and reliable...best airline in the world :)

[millu1986]

LUFTHANSA best airline ever!

allways brilliant flights!

[PrEtTyGeRiSr90]

Ich Liebe de Deutsch LUFTHANSA :)

LUFTHANSA ~ There's no better way to fly!

[capthebest]

very interesting!!!!!!!!! good video!

[travelplus1]

Schnell Ausfahrt e abflug

[dingdongditch1000]

ENGLISH!!!

[amzad89]

woooo fun

[marinho94]

i am flying with lufthansa 747 from frankfurt to miami on 30th of april!! ya

[ahocknul04]

why did that flight go all the way to the top of america then down could you not have just gone strate down from frankfurt instead please reply soon thanks and great vid 5 stars

[mannem88]

sorry i don't know the reason.. but they don't fly from the top of america down...actually the aircraft flies a curve over greenland and then changes the course to southwest and flies straight on to miami etc.

[iDansWorld]

I think these are called the polar tracks, in which airliners fly across the Arctic Circle as opposed to going across the Atlantic. The map that you see at 0:06 is a Mercator Projection map, which distorts the shapes and distances of continents. If you look on an actual globe, or Google Earth, the distance through the Arctic and the rest of the US is surprisingly shorter that crossing the Atlantic.

[Evertie2]

Its called North Atlantic Tracks (NAT's). Aircraft wich cross the Atlantic are flying via these tracks because the aircraft gets in an airstream above the Atlantic ocean. Then they can fly faster.

[iDansWorld]

Ah, I see. Interesting!

[thefsxflyer]

Hmm, not the airstream but the track up there is actually shorter. Think of it this way. You can walk around the north pole in 4 steps but if you were on the equator it would take you a couple of years to walk around the earth to actually walk around the north pole.

[Evertie2]

No, there is really a stong airstream above the Atlantic Ocean. In this windstream are strong winds with 400km/h. That's why the NAT's are updated every day to get the exact position of the airstream.

[gurubaba95]

one of the best approaches

I've ever seen  , great job

keep it up man

[muffdriver69]

I got told off by India airlines for filming during take off and landing. They were so strict, and I couldn't understand their accent. And no, giving them a quarter to them didn't work. :(

[Captainbritishair]

@muffdriver69 LOOOOOOL

[Caspar560]

@mannem88

They do that because of the rounding of the earth. Passing over Greenland is faster! :p

[runway34r]

@mannem88 that is the shortestroute between the two points due to the curvature of the earth

[nolliewood1]

@mannem88 it's because of the curve of the earth. It´s faster to fly over greenland then to fly strate from frankfurt because the earth is there not so big,#

[amarth23]

the world is round, and from parts of europe such as germany, it is basically a straight line, but when the map is flat it just looks like it goes up then down

[yoyoluc]

@ahocknul04 the flight takes that path because it is actually shorter. The plane uses the earth's curvature to fly. It would be easier to look at it on an actual globe rather than a flat map.

[istvanklein]

@ahocknul04 Just take a globe and have a look at it and you'll have your answer. It only looks like the plane making a curve because you have the globe spread out as a flat two-dimensional sheet. But if you take a real globe and follow the route with the point of a pen you'll see that what looks like going "straight" would actually be the longest possible routing of the flight.

[aldo0815]

@ahocknul04

its because of the NATs (north atlantic tracks) there are usualy always 4 active, some are more nothern and some are more southern, this flight had one of the northn one.

[lveaasaez]

@ahocknul04 Actually, flighs from Germany to the USA go up to the North because the routing that way is more direct and shorter than if they flew over the Atlatic. At the same time, it´s safer because they´ve got more airports where they can divert in case of emergency. If you want to test it yourself, grab a thread, put it on a globe and see that the distance from Frankfurt to Miami is shorter if you go to the north and then "down" again along the east coast than if you go direct.

[AviaWay]

@ahocknul04 They use the curvature of the earth to their advantage to shorten flight distances. If the earth was flat, they would fly straight down.

[ExpectantPilot]

@ahocknul04 try to follow the flight path on a globe, you will see that the curve over greenland is much shorter than flying direct, due to the fact that the earth is a ball

[AirBerlinFSX]

@ahocknul04 Because the World is round

[Deltapilot96]

@ahocknul04 That's because if you look at a globe that is curved (ofc) you see that taking the route over greenland is the shortest route. Taking it straight as you see it on a 2D map you'll see on the globe that this is a big detour

[ThePole1989]

@ahocknul04 look on a globe and you will see that the straight way is longer than the way above greenland...

[futurepilot95]

@ahocknul04 this is because planet earth is round. if you take a globe and plot the shortest route from frankfurt to miami, you'll see it is the shortest, if you would go on a straight line on a map, on the globe it will be a curve and so the other way around, if you have such a curve via greenland, on the globe you will see it is shorter! Thank you.

[blueskyalpha]

@ahocknul04

The reason for going all the way up to North America is due to the fact that it's a lot quicker. This is due to the Earth's shape. If you have a globe, try and plot the route! :)

[ollo1982]

@ahocknul04 There are special routes used when crossing the Atlantic. These routes change daily depending mainly on weather (winds aloft). The auto-routing algorithm may be instructed to act differently in relation to North Atlantic Tracks, depending on the value of the "NATs" option: There are also speed and altitude restrictions set for different NAT's(NAT's=North atlantic tracks)

Hope it helped a little bit :D

[indo83gmail]

@ahocknul04 the polar route is the fastest route if you flying to america. if you fly say from frankfurt to new york, take a globe and a string, becoz the world is round, using the string, measure the distance between that 2 point, st1 using the polar route and the 2nd using a direct straight line, which is the shortest string??

im no expert, but i hope this will answer your question.

[boeing0417]

cool

[unclecoolie]

Cool as the otherside of the pillow.

[karm53]

i was in this flight. i was sitting right behing the cameraman.

[shadddey5]

sure ya where...

[Backdoormember]

go fuck your self

[ximenovaldes]

Great video mannem88

[mannem88]

thx :D

[Nimaatre]

MANNHEIM! :)

[yopapa60]

did yall have individual tv's?

[TKV3192]

nope

[liveinvienna747]

great vid

[XoMileyMandyoX]

i thought ur not aloud to film or something during flight

[thestart93]

u have to do it in a way, that is not noticeable.

[gassyfartypoop]

i usually give a quarter to the flight attendants and they let me film

[yournameiswrong]

LOL!!??

[muffdriver69]

I got told off by India airlines for filming during take off and landing. They were so strict, and I couldn't understand their accent. And no, giving them a quarter to them didn't work. :(

[slader23]

heh i love the clspping at the end

[thetool96]

nice vid

[terpstra99]

could'nt you people tw=ravel bussines. You must be really poor. I will donate something how much do you 20 or 50 million you just say what you want and then my people will contact your people...Oh no I'm sorry you don't have any people. Whell then my people whill you contact you instead;);)

[louie77]

terpstra99, you probably don't even have one coin in your account. i can tell, because wealthy people don't brag about their money.

[Cross80z]

Did they serve good food?

[TheOrangeFrog]

LSG Sky Chefs (a Lufthansa company) serves the food on Lufthansa flights and on flights of 270 other international airlines - it is really good.

[padoindahouse]

the food is okay but the seats are horrible in economy but business is very good

[Cross80z]

How long wus the flight?

[mannem88]

9.40 h

[f1nut360]

one of the best approaches you can possibly get

[AeroplanumMaximum]

Awesome video, and it's very interesting that they clapped! Hardly anyone does that anymore....

It looks like it was very a smooth and peaceful flight.

[carlangaskpo]

nice landing!!!

[buschinator]

They clap if it was a nice flight

[louie77]

De Kommisar? Rock me Amadeus?

[sslentertainment]

Hallo. Ich fliege auch am 5. März nach Miami. Komme dann von Düsseldorf. Landet man immer von dieser Seite Miamis aus, bzw auf dem Runway? Da würde sich ja bestimmt eine Platzreservierung auf der linken Seite lohnen, oder?  ;)

[MidtownKrefeld]

Es kommt wohl auf die Windrichtung (und andere Faktoren) an... in diesem Fall wurde aus dem Osten angeflogen und in den Westen abgeflogen. So etwas wird von Flughäfen kurzfristig entschieden. An anderen Tagen geht es andersherum. Man kann also kaum strategisch einen Platz reservieren...

[mannem88]

Glückssache :) Kläre das mit dem Piloten ;)

[19Alpha30]

aso ok. danke für die schnelle antwort ;)

[19Alpha30]

wie lange seid ihr geflogen?

[truedanielg]

nice shot of downtown. Looks like it got kinda turbulent towards the end. Was this during the summer?

[engeladam409]

do people clap at the end of a flight because they're alive or because there happy to be there?

[mannem88]

i would say because they're happy to be there :D

[thetool96]

lol
