747 approach & landing into Dubai

[jonstewartforprez]

Wow, I have great respect for you for flying the -200. I fly the -400 right now, but I cannot imagine myself flying that beast. Alas, the glass cockpits have made me much lazier. What year was this?

[TheBillzilla]

@jonstewartforprez - I think early 2007 or so. FWIW we also had three (out of the 15 747-200's that British Airways converted to partial glass cockpit) 747's that had FMS's and a big moving map display.

The Co-pilot behaves and looks clueless. Was he new to the plane or to the business or maybe both?

[emp29]

wow look at that instrument panel! Looks like it came from a gen av twin. :)

[8007494225]

Hey FO wake up and help get this thing down . How many plane have you damaged ?

[mehdi4992]

QANTAS ?!?!?!?

[TheBillzilla]

No it's from when I used to fly for Air Atlanta Icelandic. That flight was when we worked for Malaysian Cargo out of Kuala Lumpur.

This is Boeing 747-200 Classic

[rsfan010]

you flying?

[HapSmo420]

can anyone say 737?

[ElAl4ever]

If you know you're cockpits, it's a 747 classic. You can start by looking at the throttles. Do you see two or four?

[poisunoskid]

LOOOOL, you got him there

[Designandrew]

Awesome.

[momekty]

i think that is Emirates airlines.

[Lamborghini09]

[heffron91]

[kekecom]

[375GTB]

Bill is a pretty good road racer, too!!

He survived The Nuerburgring 24 hour Touring Car race this past year....after many laps on the Sims.......I'd LIKE to see Bill drive DP's AWD 875lb 350hp dp1 there.....someday soon....they MIGHT beat Stephan Bellof's longstanding 6:15 lap record in the 962.....Bellof's "Memorial" to this day....cut down the very next race, at Spa, Bellof could have been another Senna.....

But I digress

Hi, great video..but what airline do you fly for? Cool seeing the cockpit of an older 747.

[TheBillzilla]

That was when I was with Air Atlanta Icalandic. I'm now with Qantas.

[WillBePilot]

You are the ? pilot or the camera man

[TheBillzilla]

Yep, that's me in the Captain's seat.

And I quit Qantas last month, getting a new job now.

[ahmedkhan1]

Hi im 15 and i wanna become a pilot. i have glasses and have been told that my dream of becoming a commercial pilot cannot be fulfilled can someone tell me if i can have glasses and still become a commercial pilot?

[biipboy]

ja ofcourse you can be a pilot even if u have ur glasses.. you can be commercial pilot .. but not jet pilot like F16 ...then u should see 100%

[Diazafar]

As long as your vision can be corrected to a certain amount then a commercial pilot, fine.

[Planemaster2go]

Yes you can have glasses, but you must keep an extra pair in the plane just in case

[biipboy]

this was a good video ... good jobb ... any idie how much it cost to become a commercl pilot ... like 737 or 747

[CoolOrb]

Dubai must be very sunny ! Unable to see view from the

cockpit towards the runway.
