  • WTF! The A320 no Honeywell Sounds in the EGPWS like The Boeing planes! :-l

    Bruce Rocks! :D

  • Did anyone else think he was swearing the warning sounds were going off?

  • Love the A320 Series!

  • This explains why I wouldn't want to be an airbus pilot, the plane does everything for you. I would want to be the one flying it, not a computer! Also, this may be a matter of opinion, but I would find a yoke easier to use than a control coulmn.

  • @MegaEvilToaster A new Boeing works exactly the same with flight management computers and electronics and fly-by-wire controls. The stick instead of yoke and anti-stall system are the only two major differences with an Airbus.

    So tired of uneducated Boeing fanboys that have no idea what they're talking about.

  • What tv series is this from?

  • why did he deploy the reverse thrust at 10 ft?

  • @unixkid52 He didn't, he retarded the throttle "RETARD, RETARD" there's a lil' latch you have to release to execute reverse

  • Steve Irwin.

  • chuck norris!

  • Bruce (dick)inson

  • anyone with the whole show???

  • He sings Aces High and he pilots planes.He cans do everything!!!!!

  • live to fly, fly to live, aces high lml!!!!!!!

  • I can quite easily imagine Bruce at the controls of a Jumbo jet going into a death dive tail spin over the Himalayas whilst simultaneously battling with a sword some Al Qaeda hijackers and singing “Run To The Hills” to his passengers; stopping occasionally to comment on the technical construction and dynamics of the song.

    Phew! He’s that type of guy !

  • Fly on your way, like an Eagle. Fly as high as the sun, yeah!

  • Acesssssssssssssssssssssss Highhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

  • All this crap didn't help air france 447.

  • @brunocoelhobass Because all this "crap" cannot work without speed indication, which was not possible at the time due to the fact the the pitot tubes - small tubes which indicate the airspeed were malfunctioning, due to super cool liquid water. Might want to watch a documentary on what cause the AF447 to crash, before making dumb accusations of how the FBW did not help AF447. If anything, the pilot's lack of training caused the crash.

  • @ceco150495 Ah, single point of failure. I got it.

  • @brunocoelhobass You're obviously too ignorant to understand that if the pilot was properly trained, this would've never happened. There is never a single point of failure. If something were to happen to an airliner. You obviously know rats about aviation, stating a single point of failure was the case. There was never just one failure which brought an airliner down. The computer did it's job, the pilots didn't do theirs.

  • @ceco150495 ah, you mean at the end, all of this crap was useless, right? And that with a good pilot, none of this is needed. Got it.

  • I remember fencing practice at University of Miami in the mid-1980s and Dickinson would take a break from recording in Nassau and come practice with us.

  • v1 Rotate I LOVE TO HEAR THAT!

  • Hes favorite plane is the AC-130 \m/

  • Bruce is the REAL Chuck Norris

  • yeah Bruce... legend.!!

  • absolutely beautiful

    

  • Bruce aint stupid

  • I can't wait to get my pilots license

  • This guy is living my dream. All i have ever wanted to be in life is a pilot and/or in a metal band. Bruce You are a legend.

  • look at 6:45 airbus a380 repaint

  • Wow that's awesome! :D I had no idea Bruce was a pilot!

  • A side-stick or sidestick controller is an aircraft control column (or joystick) that is located on the side console of the pilot, usually on the righthand side, or outboard on a two-seat flightdeck. Typically this is found in aircraft that are equipped with fly-by-wire control systems.

  • A rock star for one of the most infuential bands of all time, and now a pilot. What a life. Where do I sign up?

  • iron maiden!

  • Iron Maiden. rules your face. and they didn't even play here.

  • why didnt they put the gear up ?

  • Bruce can't be wrong.

  • Bruce flies the A320...Stig doesn't :P

  • fly to te hills you forgget :P

  • Comment removed

  • Flight Of Icarus, Where Eagles Dare, Aces High, Satellite 15, The Final Frontier, Starblind. There's a lotta Maiden songs you can pick ;)

  • What the hell? He is a pilot too???!!?

  • @metaltera86 Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, airline pilot, fencer, broadcaster, author, screenwriter, actor and marketing director, best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.(Wikipedia)

  • @metaltera86 yeap, he is a captain for the UK charter airline Astraeus : D..

  • My point is Boeing lets the Pilots to fly past the planes envelope, Scarebus doesn't do that the computer prevents them from doing that. A prime example is the Fedex DC-10 (flight 705), it was attempted to be taken over but, the F/O who was Ex-navy used his training her got in the navy and pushed the DC-10 to do things it wasn't designed for. Airbus the flight envelope protection cannot be overridden completely, but with Boeing the flight crew can override the flight envelope limits

  • @VFA103JollyRogersThe moment you say Scarebus you automatically tell the world you have no fraking clue about airplanes

  • @sparrowlt is it my fault I'm pro-Boeing?

  • @VFA103JollyRogers Not at all.. i like Airbus but still love Boeings and have full respect and confident for them .. dont have a need to put mock Boeings, MDs, Bombardiers, Tupolevs, you name ir

  • @VFA103JollyRogers just see which sells more airplanes. Airbus.

  • @ctdesing Actually Boeing

  • @VFA103JollyRogers No. For the last many years, Airbus has sold more planes than Boeing. See for yourself if you do a search on Google.

  • @VFA103JollyRogers Actually, you can switch all the computers off in an Airbus and it reverts to Direct Law which makes you able to do whatever you like in the Airbus

  • tell me one reason to dislike this

    it's amazing, watch their Somewhere In Time Tour! Bruce flies their whole crew around the world AND sings every second day

  • @19grand

    Yes, a moron that flies airliners, in one of the most successful bands in history and is a millionaire. If that is being a moron, then I want to be an idiot at least.

  • @19grand

    Yes, a moron that flies airliners, in one of the most successful bands in history and is a millionaire. If that is being a moron, then I want to be an idiot at least. He is obiously exited in this video. Wouldn't you be?

    Fly on your way, like an eagle, fly as hight as the sun!

    On your way, like an eagle! Fly touch the sun!

  • this guy is my hero!

  • why are landing gears down while flying?

  • Comment removed

  • @Juankinator They are testing the aircraft to see how it handles when it stalls. There are a few different conditions under which an airplane can stall but what you see them doing here is a landing stall. So called because when the airplane is on approach to landing it has its gear and flaps down. In a real emergency if you stall on approach it is very dangerous b/c you are at low altitude and might crash into the terrain. That's why you practice this maneuver at a higher altitude.

  • The A320 may have all the fancy avionics bells and whistles, but as Bruce says, he's still a Boeing man. On Airbus systems, it's just information overload and a lot of unnecessary fluff. Boeing airplanes are designed more reliably, more ruggedly, and have all the computerized avionics too...but where they matter. The flying is still done by the pilot and supplemented by computer...not the other way around.

  • @RaiseTheAbyss

    Bruce calls himself a Boeing man because he flies a 757 for Astraeus. Where did you get the idea from that a Airbus cockpit provides "information overload" or has "a lot of unnecessary fluff"? Have you ever seen one?

  • @blablubb12345 Hi. I know he flies the 757. I fly a Cessna Citation X (a business jet). The avionics in the X are Honeywell, who also makes most of the big Boeing avionics. I have flown the B767 in full motion simulator. Now I have only flown an A-320 on a PC-based simulator, but the EFIS and FMC and autoflight are ridiculously over-automated. Who gives a 8hit about "flex temps" and "flight path angle"? With all that automation, Airbus still can't calculate its own V speeds or its weight

  • is he even a qualified pilot?

  • @infernodood3 Absolutely. He holds an FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificate...the same held by other professional airline pilots. He might not have as many flying hours (yet) as a senior airline captain, but I bet he will towards the end of his career.

  • Even I could fly one of those..

  • Bruce is Chuck Norris' English counterpart

  • I bet the first thing bruce said on his first flight was, "FLYYYYYYY ON YOUR WAAAAAAAAAY LIKE AN EAGLEEEEEEEEEE"

  • Much as I prefered Judas Priest over Iron Maiden back in the day, the most you'd ever get outta Halford in this life is him ridin a Harley out on stage and whipping it! Bruce D. is really a smart guy.

  • Much as I prefered Judas Priest over Iron Maiden back in the day, the most you'd ever get outta Halford in this life is him ridin a harley out on stage and whipping it! Bruce D. is really a smart guy.

  • "bout all this dude has left to do is run for fuckin' Parliament.

  • @jimmy5150ify If he's elected one day, I move to England!

  • @cello3 See ya at tha concert!

  • In my videos, there's Ed Force One landing in Brazil (Curitiba, Paraná) in full HD 1080

  • "...rolling, turning, diving, doing it again!"

  • Bruce, it is time to change to Airbus-man.

  • @raulox71 more like time to change for death star

  • ha you could see the a380 fuselage in the back ,

  • scarebus

  • Iron Maiden rules!

  • blimey!!! hahahaha bruce!!!!!

  • I can't believe that well mannered neatly groomed guy is the same "metalhead" I worshipped as a kid listening to Iron Maiden. Back then you really believed Bruce and Ozzy and the rest were the psychopaths that the album covers depicted.

  • WATCH THE MAIDENCOVER CHANNEL!!!!

    VIDEOS of a BRAZILIAN MAIDEN COVER

    IP THE IRONS!!!!

  • Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines ! :)

  • Aces High! I saved this, I think its hilarious amongst my vids of him friggin' rockin' peoples faces off around the planet!

  • Aces High!

  • O Bruce é um Senhor...

  • ...the airplane, even it has its own BOLLOCKS tanks.

    ROFL, just joking.

    Bruce Rocks.

  • BRUCE IS THE MAN!!!!!!:D

  • high aces :D

  • LIVE TO FLY!! FLY TO LIVE!!!

  • Up the Iron from the skyes...

  • No wonder why the throttles reopen

  • The plane speaks right by saying "retard". That is funny, lol. Bruce acts like a retard.

  • juffair101 a380 farthest thing from safest plane in the worl

  • beautiful technology looks like anyone can fly it if he/she wants it,but in reality landing and takeoff usually most hard part for pilots where most of accidents happened as I know.

  • Hey, Just wondering if anybody knows, what was this show on Discovery Channel called?

  • @Mare4586

    It was "Flying heavy metal". Very good show. :)

  • WUUP WUUP pull up

  • Aces HIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!!!!

  • He's a real professional!

  • that stall alarm is scary sounding enough to get me to fix whatever stupid thing id be doing

  • u funny fucker know 2 give expressions

  • \m/

  • airbus a319s and a320s look and generally sound better than the 737 i think. the cockpit layout looks better and the cabin layouts look nicer. i'm pretty sure the airbus has a more quieter cabin.

  • Even in a Boeing aircraft the pilot has only his left to hand to steer when he also has to work with the engine throttles. I think you have to exercise it but as thousands of Airbus flying around the world show its not a real problem.

  • What I always wondered with Airbus planes is: If e.g. the captain (left-side seat) is right-handed, he still has to operate the joystick and steer the plane with his left hand. People generally have less control and sensitivity in the hand that they don't normally use. Wouldn't this affect the pilot's ability to steer the plane in emergencies? In a Boeing plane, there's a central control wheel, operated with both hands, and symmetrically, so no difference between the pilot's and copilot's seats.

  • Cmon, he is flying a computer, although i woulda die to have his life.

  • i didnt know he did this stuff

  • thanks bruce for this info about planes and more thank you to you because youre one of the greatest singer and much more thank you to you and iron maiden :D

  • Bruce is the next Chuck Norris :O

  • Live to fly, fly to live, aces high!

  • @domdom111111

    why do u think he did that song?;)

  • can the airbus a321 do the same?

  • @Cathaydude yeah, its fly by wire, all airbus' have it

    at least, i think its the fly by wire, im quite sure, but im not 100%

  • @BringEllisTheHoriZon like 60%?

  • @Cathaydude what do you mean? how sure am i or what?

    im quite sure, just not 100% lol look it up

  • @BringEllisTheHoriZon A300, A310 and Beluga dont have it, others have i think, at least all other commercial airliners.

  • @Pvjinflight yeah, i didnt think they would, they are really old, apart from the beluga, thats not as old i think, im not actually sure if it was before or after the a320s started being produced

    the beluga is an amazing plane though :)

  • @BringEllisTheHoriZon

    The A320 was the first productional Fly-by-wire Airbus, but an A300 was used as the FBW testbed. The Beluga is a modified A300 without FBW.

  • @blablubb12345  thanks for the info :)

  • 50% of all air accidents are caused by men at the controlls. Airbus corrected that, now it's caused by Airbus!

  • @TheJeffreyklm LOL!

  • that was absolutely awesome :D

  • @bhs117 you forgot the *beep*

  • @SirHardRock that was fkin awesome :D

  • \,,/ IRON MAIDEN \,,/ EEEEEEEK

  • a musician AND a pilot, impeccable.

  • Don't die Bruce!!!!

  • Bruce is awesome..

  • Oh shoot.. He is flying!!!

  • He sounded like Steve Irwin

  • @blackmondae Steve Irwin was Australian, not English.

  • wow!

    I've done this on the piper tomahawk

    but a 60 degree bank on a A320!!! that's really amazing!!!

  • @mercury46 thats a 67 degree bro ..

  • Bruce should try the AC-130 :)

  • My name says it all.....

  • lol flys like a french Ferret up your trouser leg. LMAO.

  • It's very hard not to like Bruce Dickinson. There's something very endearing about this man.

  • Bruce Dickinson:what a dude!

  • Up The Irons <3

  • METALLLLL!

  • he flies the 757 ?!?

  • @LufthansaA343 Yes, The Ed Force 1

  • @sueder80 what is that? was that supposed to be a joke?^^
