[airplanefreak100]

The landing was pretty rough

[itachiuchiha026]

[3halljo]

wats that flappy lil bit in between the 2 flaps

[xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx]

@3halljo Its bassically to help the aircraft to turn and keep level :)

[itachiuchiha026]

@xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx np

@3halljo

That's the aileron. It's used in conjunction with spoilers (in sharp banks/turns) to bank the aircraft left or right, but the 747 is the only plane with ailerons between the flaps...

[asharwin930]

@EmadIV 777s as well

[BlackPride386]

lol chingy chingy ching chong :D

[fsimpro]

We're on our final approach now.

please put away all portable electronic devices.

how did you record that without getting caught?

[Airportchris2]

You are allowed to have anything that does not send/recieve a wireless signal, like a laptop, cellphone, etc.

A digital camera, etc, are fine.

[fsimpro]

yea but on final descent landing no electronic devices.

[Airportchris2]

Ummm, no, my dad works for Delta, and he says you are allowed to have anything that doesn't send or recieve a wireless signal, I have also seen videos of pilots who video their landing and takeoffs from the cockpit, so yes, you can.

[Cross80z]

I also flew on Cathy Pacific to the Phillipines on 2004.

[DWongster]

I thought that most -heavys use 28R for landing. Why did this plane land on 28L.

[EngineJoe31]

that indian fool sounded upset when he realized that they wern't gonna land in the water

[princevarun09]

r u guys indians cuz even im an indian

[gorbidog]

HOLY MOLY!!!

That was a NOISY landing after you touched down ... either the airport needs a new runway or the plane's shocks need replacement ... LOL!

Nice video!

[ian95x]

It's the runway--I flew CX SFO-HKG and back, at SFO, it was LOUD! This video doesn't do justice to that noise.

[mistaphill]

only used about 6000 feet, good landing

[goingtobeapilot]

I think the spoilers might have opened automaticly (Or however you spell it) because of the timing on them. Although he did flare alot. well whatever I guess I'm just thinking out loud. He still did good landing it though! :)Nice Video! :)

[mattinhk]

the spoilers do open automatically. they set the speed beak lever to auto. so as soon as the gears touch down. the spoilers come up.

[GangreneVagina]

Emily-

Where in the world do you live where you'd be going apeshit about that?

[Parubhi]

Best airline EVER!

[LFMusicRocks]

I agree.

[gorbidog]

Nice video ... and the lighting was very good too at that time of day!

[lilredz71500]

i always fly free cathay pacfic my dad pilot

[kungfutofu2]

i love cathay pacific they give me good food and have smooth takeoffs and landings

[BatteryPoweredLove3]

Smooth take-offs and landings has nothing to do with the airline company.

Silly... LOL! Hahaha!

[aznturtle1]

true but their piloits are highly skilled

[BatteryPoweredLove3]

aznturtle1-

Then you know nothing about modern jet airliners. The "pilots" are basically computer babysitters. The computer is taking off and landing the airplane.

[OMGLysses]

I think pilots do more than computers when taking off and landing. Well, im emergancies, anyway.

[tanker013]

Hmmm, how come nobody showed me where the "land" button is on my modern Airliner? Probably less than 1% of all landings are done on Autoland...and ABSOLUTELY 0 takeoffs are done by the Autopilot.

[supyowhoa]

they mostly choose to take manual control in case if the computer messes up

[EmadIV]

@BatteryPoweredLove3

Not exactly. They do pull the plane up during takeoff and land it manually if the weather conditions are good. Autopilot basically controls the plane's lateral and vertical movements after takeoff, and pilots must monitor that.

[FatihFrankfurt]

Whow, I love Cathay Pacific
