NYC_747 JFK Rwy4R Landing at night Cockpit view

[Superwhicked]

who would dislike this?

[samr846]

you have dream job!!!

[jdwu]

@samr846 Yes, it was.

[enigma800]

Pilots get to see some amazing views.

[gotacola152]

really starts at 6:08

[anurek123]

what is minimums??

[ibizamaria]

wow! very nice video and filmed.

My Respect to all of you Pilots!!!

[DjhushaTV]

i remember landing in jfk... thinking wheres the skyscrapppers

[FA22RaiseHell]

That was a short runway.

[GeGe1000]

on a 747 the final approach speed is usually like 170-180( it depends on the weight)

[shunsky115]

great vid man

[soufianeltm5techno]

that's really great !!!

[jdwu]

thanks and enjoy !

[soufianeltm5techno]

thank you :)

[airfreak789854521]

Three more years and I'll be coming up with better aircraft. Yes, an Aerospace Engineer!

[saipansmall]

why does it look so slow during approach when like its going 150 or 160

[bulbadox]

It's not slow, this happens when you zoom the camera too much. Usually the approach speed is around 140 to 155 knots during normal weather.

[ccubsfan94]

the object is far away so your mind looks at one object more than the plane is passing it so your mind is making it seem slow. it is an optical illusion. when your in a car look at one object that you are going to pass and watch it. now at the same speed look strait out the window. when you are fixated on an object it seems slower. when in an aircraft your great mind does this for you and you cannot correct it

[Doglovee94]

i want to become a piolet

[Jamiropat]

better learn how to spell correctly before you entertain becoming a pilot...thats the bare minimum in a highly competitive field...

[JonteKrok]

The city of blinding lights..

[1995azm]

great video!

[arabjude]

Used up nearly all of the concrete there. 4R is the shortest JFK RWY at 8400 ft. Nice video thanks for posting :)

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Yep! But still one of the safest because of it being wider, and there being an arresting bed at the end of the runway.

[deccas1391]

At 7:14 what does 'minimums' mean?

(I think thats what it says)

[wincav]

"minimums" means the lowest altitude the plane can fly that at that point, if they do not see the runway they have to execute a "missed approach" and go around. The computer lets the pilots know when this altitude is reached. Primarily used in low visibility IFR landings.

[deccas1391]

Ok thanks

[jofus2019]

@wincav yeah I cannot wait will I start doing approaches. Basic attitudes is extremely boring and easy.

[deccas1391]

Thanks

[av8rdav]

@deccas1391 Minimums is the altitude at which, if you don't have the airport environment in sight, you must go around, AKA a missed approach. 747 can autoland itself meaning the pilots don't fly the plane, they monitor all aspects of the approach. Normally for the flying I do, I can go as low as 200 feet agl, on a precision approach, then either see the airport of miss the approach. Anyhow, that is what minimums means.

[sebbie4life]

how do pilots taxi at night with no visibility? do they have some kind of gps in the cockpit??

[indydave91]

There are blue lights on each side of the taxiway that mark it out, there are signs on each taxiway (they are basically like street signs), and aircraft have landing and taxi lights so that pilots can see what lies directly ahead of them. We can get what's called a "progressive taxi" from ground control. That just means that they give us turn by turn instructions to help us get to where we need to be on the airfield. At this point, we don't use GPS to taxi, although that technology is here,

[midgetrc1993]

It's called taxiway lighting.

[pussy321pussy]

i lived on long island born and proudly raised west babylon

[dael101]

the cockpit say 100,15,14113,20 and the plane landing¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[LeFatCobra]

They were 100' at the threshold which is PERFECT.

[aka03271]

approach too high....it was calling 500 above the runway!

[PilotJamesD]

yea above the beginning of the runway. its at the threshold where it called 100 which is a money landing

[lefonceur26]

approach too high

[ddevlin721721]

what? lol...theyre prefessional pilots, dont question their ability

[JMIZZLE22]

incase u didn't realise a 747 is like 4 stories high so it jus looks like the approach is high and i agree with ddevlin

[RB904L]

first, their professionals...second, it's a 747, the cockpit is higher, therefore, you think the approach is quite high.

[leefuji]

yup the 747 cockpit it almost twice as high as the other regular planes !!

[VideoMaster2384]

what do you know about flying????????????

[Romani1969]

A little to the left... to the right now.... a little more to the right..... watch out for that bird *SPLASH* (too late)... to the left now, keep going straight ....YAY. Landed!

[bulbadox]

How to maintain airspeed when landing without Auto throttle?

[usmeagle91]

oh, I don't know, move the throttles maybe?

[bulbadox]

lol...no, that's all theoretical, works only in the standard scenarios. Your speed increases as you come down-at the same time you have to make sure there is enough power for the nose to remain straight, so maintaining constant airspeed is very tricky, also depends on the weather I guess.

[usmeagle91]

it may be tricky, but it is how they do it... Take Southwest Airlines. All of their a/c do not have Auto throttle connected, which means the airspeed is manual 100% of the time. Of course, within a few months, they should be connected, but only during the cruise phase.

[iamalmosteighteen]

where did you hear that? southwest flys 737s.. which all come with all APs

[usmeagle91]

your right, I never said anything about Autopilot. AutoTHROTTLE is/was not connected on any SWA plane. Now, they are starting to connect them on the 737-700's and using VNAV...

I work for SWA ;)

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Ever flew into Albany? SWA is a pretty major carrier there.

[jagara1]

Q - How to maintain airspeed when landing without Auto throttle?

A - There is a line on the speed indicator which predicts what speed the aircraft will be flying at in 10 seconds time.

Basically you want this ten second indicator to be within the threshold of your landing speed.

Speed tends to be maintained by the use of the yolk whilst altitude tends to be maintained by the throttle a bit like a carrier landing.

[ortale22]

very nice landing!!

[jdwu]

Thanks!

[HotShot28700]

jkf has one of the longest runway in the world

[Lobta]

That did seem kind of high, but I wonder if it's more of the fact that the cockpit is higher?

Either way, nice vid!

[kproDZ]

that aaproach looked way too high

[borg245]

oh man, well there are two major landind approach types: High and slow or low and abit fast. In this case it was definitly high and slow.

[mmichaeldonavon]

Sure seemed like a very high approach...must be the camera angle. Right, I looked for a VASI or PAPI - didn't see any. Really looked steeper than a 3 degree approach. Hey, I'm old; the eyes are like they used to be. ha

[Barno33]

lol yeh it did!

[kepanchee]

no VASI light at JFK....crazy...

[fsimpro]

yea rwy 4R is used so much in JFK, kinda dangerous because all the heavy planes land there

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Believe it or not, it is actually very much safer. If a plane was to ever overrun athis runnway, it would be stopped very quickly because there is an arresting bed made of cellular cement. Also, this runway is wider.

[chunga666]

What's a VASI (excuse my ignorance!)

[kepanchee]

The Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) is a system of lights on the side of an airport runway that provides visual descent guidance information during the approach to a runway. These lights may be visible from up to eight kilometers (five miles) during the day and up to 32 kilometers (20 miles) or more at night.

[ap1190]

We got no runway to spare captain!

[EARL131141]

this came out great for a night video! :)

[Elpelosnecios69]

LOL, it seems some girls scream when the 747 toches the ground!

[Jerram89]

I think you'll find that's actually the sound of the spoilers being deployed (or some other aircraft function. It deffo aint screaming).

[theevilmeister]

Thats the spoilers being deployed on the ground to keep the aircraft from accidently taking flight....

[musico81986]

Its the autospoilers being deployed.

[000az999]

very good video!

[86Timewarp]

i Just Got back From Vication And the first Thing You see Is The lights

[mggordon]

Great video if all you want to see is 9 straight minutes of lights. How about some video inside the cockpit.
