Cockpit View of Foggy Landing by Private Jet

[markyboy28able99]

the cockpit displays look like they are flashing but it's simply the camera capture rate has the same frequency as the display pannels.

The monitors are effectively flashing the image. But its so fast you cannot notice it with your eye. But the camera also receives images by flashing on and off. Some times the camera and the monitor flash off at exactly the same time and so you see blackness for a moment.

[aviationplanet]

Very nice!

[ghDRFT]

your video's are extremely interesting ;p keep filming!

[Nabokov50]

Thank goodness for instuments.

[uraluda]

большая благодарность пилотам!!! а вот кто ж их смена? мечтающих стать лётчиками уже нет......

[WilliamJSSequeira]

Its the camera. The panels have a refresh rate somewhat like a computer monitor, and a cheap camera will pick it up.

[rklionel]

finally: runway in sight!

Quite a relief.

[TheAnden4ever]

What wrong with the lights in the cockpit? Or is it just the camera that shows them so wierd

[radar050976]

@TheAnden4ever Just the camera. See my previous comments on this in "Top Comments" above.

[rahulshah747]

what was that light that went off

[racingfanz]

what is with the instruments it is like they keep flashing?

[Fsxlovely]

@racingfanz Its just bad camera :P

[radar050976]

@racingfanz See comment in "Top Comments" above explaining why.

[M0JRA]

awesome footage great to watch

[radar050976]

@M0JRA Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It was a real privilege to have to opportunity to be in the cockpit of a private jet for a landing like this.

[hakan737]

Amazing and nice landing. Just I'm curious, around 1:38, visual sight totally lost into runway? or just only cause of camera adjusting?

[radar050976]

@hakan737 It was just the camera adjusting. The camera I had at the time wasn't great and could when I pointed it down at the inside of the cockpit which was darker relative to outside it just over exposed the brightness outside.

[hakan737]

@radar050976

Thank you for your answer, once again it was nice approach.

[radar050976]

@hakan737 No problem. Glad you enjoyed it.

[miklar19711]

please, come to northern canada and fly 30 year old a/c with no modernization to mins every day!!! thats why it takes years to become a cptn on a small a/c not months...

[radar050976]

@miklar19711 Believe me I'd love to come to Northern Canada. Maybe some day :)

[RichieEaglefreak]

one question, when should the ils be turned off when landing?

[radar050976]

@RichieEaglefreak After you have landed!

[HaloToday]

do all airports have ILS approach? Or is that only for the larger airports?

[radar050976]

@HaloToday Not all airports have it. But certainly any airport with any decent amount of commercial traffic would have it these days I'd imagine.

[MTproductionsss]

Nice video

[radar050976]

@MTproductionsss Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[comeonfhqwhgads1]

HOLY COW! what was going on with the electronics at the beginning?

[radar050976]

@comeonfhqwhgads1 Nothing. That's just the effect you get when filming a computer screen. It's to do with the refresh rate of the video being different to that of the screen being filmed. It's the same if you ever see a computer screen on a news report on TV or something like that.

[qazxsw21000]

If there was fast pace music in the video, it be the best video I ever seen (I'm referring to the instruments).

[NumanFsl]

Are the instrument suppose to turn off and on, off and on?

[Pavouk106]

@NumanFsl I suppose that's because framerate (camera vs. instruments). Try to record your TV or better - old CRT monitor, you'll see for yourself.

[Triple777ER]

I just wanted to boast to everyone in here that I am the best youtube armchair aviation expert there is. My comprehensive investigation has led me to conclude that this airplane is a Cessna citation.

[radar050976]

@Triple777ER Well done :) It's in the first line of the video description!

[Triple777ER]

@radar050976 Thankyou, I'm glad you appreciate my investigation!

[zuludelta100]

Beautiful Dedication mate, Well done.

[radar050976]

@zuludelta100 Thanks. Appreciate the comment.

[dialecticon]

The citation has a wonderful cockpit.



[ShutTFup]

good line up while in the fog, that's when we really appreciate the instruments.

what's the plane, a Cessna?

[crstian2009]

how did you get on this plane

[crstian2009]

is this at cork airport

[radar050976]

@crstian2009 Yes it was Cork Airport.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Full marks for a great video. And regards to you for your humility regarding the fatal crash on this runway. There but for the grace of God, eh?

[bratonabike]

very nice. was this a leerjet 45 by any chance?

[radar050976]

@bratonabike Thanks. No it was a Cessna Citation.

[TheRipperSPN]

soooo lucky:)

[corkaviation]

Your soooooo lucky

[radar050976]

@corkaviation Yes I was very lucky to get this opportunity. It was pretty amazing.

[onix320]

Maximal respect! :-)

[Axmedkoole]

How can you trust ILS?.

[transPlanko]

@Axmedkoole yeah, I hear ya, ILS is riddled with bugs!!

[Axmedkoole]

@transPlanko Exactly. It is like driving blindfolded and let GPS guide you.

[1Explosivez1]

@Axmedkoole They get tested every week.

[ladyspy84]

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis, Indeed Rest in Peace.

[helihot]

Only low clouds and mist, it does not seem to be fog! Fog is less than 1000m visibility.

[thedudewithoutabrain]

what the hell is up with instruments?

[radar050976]

@thedudewithoutabrain Nothing. That's just the effect you get when filming a computer screen. It's to do with the refresh rate of the video being different to that of the screen being filmed. It's the same if you ever see a computer screen on a news report on TV or something like that.

[Sunamer1]

@thedudewithoutabrain it is due to sync problems between a shutter of the camera and strobe freq of screens

[wolframixx]

If the instruments really flashed like that all pilots would have seizures. Good video btw

[radar050976]

@wolframixx Ha ha true :) Thanks man.

[pigkiller7171]

@wolframixx that's the different refresh timing between the camera and the displays

[radar050976]

@fertobar Nothing. That's just the effect you get when filming a computer screen. It's to do with the refresh rate of the video being different to that of the screen being filmed. It's the same if you ever see a computer screen on a news report on TV or something like that.

[cesarparrav]

what type of citation is that?

[radar050976]

@cesarparrav It was a 550B Citation Bravo

[cesarparrav]

@radar050976 thanks, my brother fly a citation II nice airplane

[fsxlover07]

look at all those flashing screens XDD

[hugozaa]

you have a very good pilot :D

[moonpig310]

manx2 crashed in the fog at cork rip :'(

[carlingfordberg]

is that in cork?

[daluifh331]

@carlingfordberg Yeah it's Cork

[radar050976]

@carlingfordberg Yes it is runway 17 in Cork. The same runway that the ill-fated Manx2 aircraft crashed on yesterday.

[carlingfordberg]

@radar050976 Thanks , I was wondering. the fog was unfortunatly alot thicker two days ago than what is shown on this video for the pilot. I was travelling nearby at the same time in the morning by car and you could barely see a few feet infront of the car.

It was the thickest fog I have ever encountered in my life. The pilot should have went to Shannon.

[radar050976]

@carlingfordberg Yes I was in Cork City that morning too and the fog was incredibly bad. However lets reserve judgement and not apportion any blame until the full investigation is complete. Anything statement at this stage as to the cause is purely speculation.

[Digger843ASXM]

@carlingfordberg If you like fog, go to Gardemoen, Oslo, Norway, fog 24/7 -_- And it's really thick!

[ThePilot314]

Hi fellows ................. "a full ILS approach" ?

Before "MINIMUMS"

they could see the runway i.e. visual approach by PAPI.

Anyway .......... a good vid!

[loverofmusic1400]

Sweet free hand landing.

[bmjake]

haha look at their instruments, they're flying throught that vortex in Avatar lol

[l3thDisciple]

Excellent cockpit video.. Really good visibility out the windsheild in terms of seeing what the pilots actually saw..

[radar050976]

@l3thDisciple Thanks. It was a real privilege to have the chance to take that video. Glad you like it.

[superjjskate]

God, how small is the cockpit.

[radar050976]

@superjjskate Very small. I wasn't even in the cockpit. I was sitting the cabin. The cockpit is tiny.

[papan1990]

@radar050976 saaaaaaaaaaxyyyyy landing

[Brainiacs0]

@radar050976 most aircraft cockpits are small. If they were too comfy, the pilots would fall asleep.

as for the landing... ideally, more crew communication...but otherwise, good.

[youngestpilotinGa]

@superjjskate yea that is luxzurious compared to cessnas come fly with me for a day and your say the same

[dtiydr]

1:04 pulling down the landing gear..

[mattp1803]

@dtiydr Are you sure? That's insane!! They were under 200ft AGL by the time he pulled the gear if that's the case... talk about close one.

[dtiydr]

@mattp1803 No no, i was just kidding because it was a so perfect move of the guy toward where the landing gear lever was. If he would have pull down the landing gear at that point i doubt it would have time to be properly deployed before landing and the pilots should have been grounded if they had forgot or delayed something that important.

[AerCaptain]

AWESOME video! :)

[nemo227]

It's always nice when the runway shows up and you're at the right heading and right altitude.

[bhaveshnande]

Why are the displays blinking in the cockpit ?

[radar050976]

@bhaveshnande They weren't. That's just the effect you get when filming a computer screen. It's to do with the refresh rate of the video being different to that of the screen being filmed. It's the same if you ever see a computer screen on a news report on TV or something like that.

[bhaveshnande]

@radar050976 Ya you are right. :)

[LufthansaA343]

wasn't too foggy. they saw the runway even before the minimums. they could have landed this manually very easily!

[radar050976]

@LufthansaA343 I never said they couldn't. I just said "Low Visibility" not "No Visibility".

[LufthansaA343]

@radar050976

oh i apologize it thought it said "no visibility". great video anyways:P

[beergut111]

@LufthansaA343 manually land?.....no cessna product has an autoland feature on the autopilot.

[Cooltreivus]

How do they turn the plane once on the ground?

[Aviationnation10]

rudder and lef and right brake speeding up 1 engine

[Cooltreivus]

Oh that makes sense, but do they really have to speed up one engine when turning?

[roryj123ok]

ive seen it

[blkbltkyle]

No they dont have to, its called differential power, and it makes it a little easier but the front wheel turning suffices for the turn on the ground. in the air, they never speed up just one engine.

[doive1231]

Great vid. Liked it all. Must have been an ILS approach, bet the pilots are relieved when they see the runway lights appear.

[radar050976]

I have to say they were unbelieveably cool. Can't say the same for some of the passengers :)

[Gexo16]

mice....
