Lufthansa has one of the most idiotic SOP's I've encountered....not to mention the "famous" BA SOP's. It's time to come to the 21'st century and do what Boeing writes, not what you've been doing since the Middle Age.
I stand corrected - the point I was trying to make (and comment on some other views) is they work a lot harder than many assume, and yet their job is at risk every 6 months for as you point out medical reasons - very few jobs place this level of scrutiny on health (though clearly it is warranted for safety reasons)
@swiper1818 you are now correct. The physical is not that intense, but very strict with no "do-overs". Any pilot using his ATP license and whatever type rating that they have must do a physical every 6 months. The physical is not a rubber stamp thing. There are 3 different physicals...class 1 is good for 6 months, a class 2 is good for 12 months and a class 3 is good for 24 months. Any pilot using their license as a "commercial" pilot, must have at least a class 2 (flying for hire).
@sgtpepperaut you are totally wrong - - ever landed or taken off in a strong crosswind, or typhoon - these guys earn every cent they are paid - and, by the way (before you ask I am NOT a commercial pilot) this is the only job I know of where if you aren't up to scratch you risk getting fired every 6 months when you need to renew your licence. They don't see their families for days at a time also,.....
@swiper1818 They do not renew their license every 6 months. They have a class 1 medical certificate and that is what must be renewed every 6 months. Every 2 years they must do a refresher course, called a bi-annual review, to keep their license current. And yes...I am a pilot...retired now with an ATP and a double I.
@ICproductions2020 just like all teh other times he has run for President...he doesnt have a prayer, but yet people like yoou vote for him and basically toss your vote out the window. Then we get Marxist cock-suckers like OBAMA and all you people whine even louder. I like Ron Paul too, but he doesnt have a chance...WAKE THE HELL UP DUDE.
Well my youtube friends get armed when marshal law comes. Obama just signed the bill on 12/31/11 for indefinite detention on Americans, we are God's children. We were put on this planet for a reason to take it back.
Level IV Tactical gear, Dragon skin vest, AR-15 magazine loaded hollow tip bullets, gas mask, ballistic helmet...hmm all I need is night vision. Freedom or death!
@MotorsbyShooter Fuck you motherfucker. You're a motherfucking republican traitor to America. Go suck a communist Chinese dick you fucking traitor. You like communist China so much, why don't you go join your fucking commie business partners over in china. Leave America the fuck alone you republican pice of shit!
@JetMechMA Typical response from a PUNK. You have shown theworld your education level as well as demonstrating your writing skills...but I would guess that that is what is to be expected when STUPID people breed. Their off-spring is not even qualified enough to be stupid. Like I said dude...look at your history. Every time he has run , he hasnt even made a small dent and has no chance what-so-ever. So go ahead and waste your vote and help put OBAMA back in power.
@MotorsbyShooter Idiot, I'm not a Paul voter, I'm an Obama voter. YOU on the other hand promote communist China over your own GOD DAMNED country. God damn all republicans to hell !
@JetMechMA LMAO...you have such a way with words...spoken like a true card carrying Marxist Liberal Dum-a-crap who voted for Bro. You must like taxes and government in your face...no wonder you are in California...a State damn near broke because of your Dum-a-crap leadership. I must apologise to you...you are not smart enough to be stupid...you are just plain dumb. Talk to your buddy Clinton for giving the Chineese nuclear secrets and Obama for giving the drug cartels weapons.
The only thing I really worry about is take off, a mean what if the engine just conked out, also the noise when the landing gear goes up scares me as well, it makes the engines sound as of they are shutting off!!
Sitting in the cockpit of the 747-400 during take-off and landing is an amazing experience. I did it when I was in flt attendant training at United 20-years-ago. Thrilling is the best way to describe it.
i would love to be a pilot by i wouldn't have the confidence to grab the controls of one and let alone have 100 people which lives are in my hands....
Interesting video! Really nice. How long it was taking off? I mean from take off to V1 and rotate because in 737 it takes ( take off ) about 30 seconds.
@The10diamonds After takeoff the Pilot Not Flying (PNF) announces "positive climb" (if it is positive !) and the Pilot Flying says "gear up" as a command, then executed by the PNF
@Michael55443 well i love flying, but sometimes it feels weird for me too :) too bad that i probably cant be pilot cause i have some colour perception issue :(
@Michael55443 That's awesome, I'm actually terrified of flying as well, which oddly enough is why I fly as often as a can... Now I'm in school to become an aerospace engineer, wish me luck!
@Serpico261 you would have to be flying smaller planes for years before even getting close to being a co pilot in that thing. private flying schools can teach you how to fly a max 7 person airplane, witch is a lot less complicated to fly then this thing.
@daylatedollashort These things are easy to fly. The whole thing about flying one of these things....a public conveyance.....is that it carries hundreds of people. You can't make mistakes. The actual flying of airliners is easy. But doing it consistently, safely, day or night, in all kinds of weather....THAT's the hard part. That's why they hire only highly experienced pilots who during their career will make a minimum of mistakes.
@JetMechMA LMAO...who the Hell told you that flying a 747 is easy? Pilots are under stress from the time the doors close to the time that the doors open dude.
@MotorsbyShooter I've been a taxi qualified mechanic for 25 years. I've landed the full motion 747 simulator in LAX. I've flown the A320 full motion simulator. I think I know how to handle one of these things. Been doing it for 25 years. But it's like I said, the difference between me and a line pilot is talent, experience, good looks and lots of money. Take away all that from those glory boys and they're nothin. ;)
@JetMechMA Check lists, Flight deck instrumentation, all the software and manufacturer paperwork is in English. Good habits and checklists make for safeness. English is a worldwide agreed language in aviation. Everyone needs to understand each other.
@MotorsbyShooter if you actually new anything about flight schools you would know that 90% of the hands on learning happens in a flight simulator. Thats the only way they teach you to fly a full size plane like this.
@daylatedollashort lmao here at your statement. They do use flight sims for vatious aircraft, but there also has to be the real thing. You cant get a type rating flying Flight Simulator 2010 dusche.
No offense, but your video isn't all good at the take off. During the take off you should have zoomed out and kept a focus on the windshield so it wouldn't be too bright to see it. That would have made the take off look interesting. Other than that it's pretty good.
When making a video of people doing something, always keep the camera aas absolutely still as you can. In this vid you have allowed your anxiety to sjow absolutely everything and your inability to focus on anything for more than 2 seconds to create a jumpy, anxious, meaningless montage of fractured images. Keep the camera still, let your subjects do the work for you and your viewrs will appreciate your self control.
Today I read what I was expecting for years in the newspapers: most pilots don't know how to fly the plane manually anymore, the FAA has found out that most accidents where due to pilot error, they blame most cases due automatisation.. I have always said there must be a flight engineer on board, simply cause pilots aint technicians and that's needed in certain emergency..common sense..not a checklist, and pilots must do more manual flying.
@hairysaccs If anything is ugly it sure is the A380, with that pig nose and huge bulky forehead. The 747 design is proportionate, with the flight deck on the second floor and a clean straight nose in front. 747's all the way and definately THE 747-8 INTERCONTINENTAL ! ! !
@vTeamPaNiCv i wish it could still be my dream but with small demand for pilots at the major levels and the terrible salery at the regional levels I have sadly given up on this dream =(
@billiepipersteeth Are you joking? I will say that being a scientist takes lots of education and knowledge but my uncle has an IQ of 166 and he logged 45,000+ hours as a pilot. So don't generalize pilots.
@vTeamPaNiCv Knowledge? Even a 3 year old with a Teletubbies read with mother electronic picturebook knows which buttons to press after a bit of monkey-see-monkey-do coaching. It's no different for modern commercial pilots.
the should start using commercial jets to do scenic tours and fly to lower altitudes over scenic points. That would be great over newfoundland & labrador to fly low over the mountains
@jetpiloteric Hope you can accomplish your goal , i missed the train and now i'm a student at Harvard law school. I took the PPL and instrumental rating , now im on duel engine training . it costs a lot to pay for school and aviation. But still im trying :)
@jetpiloteric I would recommend joining Emirates Aviation School . They have the best pilots and their training is one of the best training worldwide. And they pay descent money.
@drey4lyfee ik. but the air force should help my odds to becoming an intl pilot. and college is mostly paid for so i will get a degree. then hopefully more college.
@nikobellic163 good for you , but the comment i posted was for the people who missed the train :) i already have me PPL, but its different if my career was a pilot . hope u could understand the difference now
@b3eedXaldaar I would of became a Pilot for FedEx, but because of my Colourblindness, my 15 year dream was ended by a complete stranger telling me no in 2 minutes. I always watch these kind of videos because I like knowing the joy of it.

the should start using commercial jets to do scenic tours and fly to lower altitudes over scenic points. That would be great over newfoundland & labrador to fly low over the mountains

@jetpiloteric Hope you can accomplish your goal , i missed the train and now i'm a student at Harvard law school. I took the PPL and instrumental rating , now im on duel engine training . it costs a lot to pay for school and aviation. But still im trying :)

@b3eedXaldaar im thinking about joining the air force and then moving onto aviation training for intl flights. :)
jetpiloteric 6 months ago
@jetpiloteric I would recommend joining Emirates Aviation School . They have the best pilots and their training is one of the best training worldwide. And they pay descent money.
b3eedXaldaar 6 months ago
@jetpiloteric You can't join the air force and fly enlisted. You need to do College ROTC, AFA, or OCS. Good luck in your dreams.

@drey4lyfee ik. but the air force should help my odds to becoming an intl pilot. and college is mostly paid for so i will get a degree. then hopefully more college.

@jetpiloteric Ah I see. That makes sense. Good luck man!

@b3eedXaldaar I would of became a Pilot for FedEx, but because of my Colourblindness, my 15 year dream was ended by a complete stranger telling me no in 2 minutes. I always watch these kind of videos because I like knowing the joy of it.

@Wo2010W If he has to learn, won't it make sense to switch seats with the captain?

@MrTubers101 i dont' think so. Both must have the same instruments.
