British Airways Airbus A318 London City Airport to JFK

[lugonic97]

How long was the fligh? aand great video :)

[amc3]

@lugonic97 ...The real flight takes about 9.5 hours outbound including a refuling stop in either Dublin or Shannon. The return flight is usually about 8 hours direct from JFK. to LCY.

[lugonic97]

@amc3 Thanx how long was the game flight though?

[TheSKRFan]

Why fly with the landing gear on the whole time? Lol.

[amc3]

@TheSKRFan ...the gear is retracted at 1.35. Its down again at 1.58 as the a/c is on approach on its return from JFK......simple :)

[Skyflyerification]

poor quality

[evenairlines]

Is this the Abacus Airbus?

[yunnes09]

It is quite funny to see BA operating a 767 to AMS almost daily and a A318 to NY :P hahhaa

[iloveEngland16]

thats not an a318 :p

[amc3]

@iloveEngland16 ....watched by over 23,000 people and your only the second person to notice its a A318 and A319....your an aviation detective :D

[iloveEngland16]

@amc3 yup, A319 i think :D

[HBZERaviation]

@iloveEngland16 It's an A318 only from 1:04 before it's an A319.

[AvaitonCrazy1]

he probs took off at london then stopped the vid and did a go around at JFK ahaa

[0Heavy0Metal0]

First, put FSX in the title. Not too many like to watch a sim. And can a 318 make a trans-atlantic flight? I think the EATOPS rule prohibits it. Oh well, just a game, right?

[comercialaviation]

Bulshit, Why would British Airways fly their european A318 over the atlantic? Think about it.

[joshi18l]

@comercialaviation idiot... research before you put stupid statements up....

[ThePickleBranston]

@comercialaviation Maybe you should do some research before you claim bullshit

[amc3]

@ThePickleBranston .......would seem its not only your user name thats pickled ?...visit ba.com....the A318 flies non stop from JFK to LCY no problem :)

[ThePickleBranston]

@amc3 I wasnt in a pickle, I was telling someone else that said something along the lines of "Why would BA send their european planes over to america..." I was telling him to do his research, not the video uploader.

[jwo99odvideo]

what flight sim is this?

[chrizzler100]

GREAT plane video

[rayhan1231000]

fsx beteer

[wwdm]

sry I did not know that I was already clear to the British Airways flies there

[amc3]

@wwdm ...no need to say sorry mate, when i read they were going to do it, i thought, thats impossible!!!!...but its made possible due to the configuration of the aircraft, they only carry 32 business class passengers. So this allows for maximum fuel enabeling the aircraft to cover the distance back to London. Flights back across the atlantic always take about 30 mins less due to the north atlantic jet streams. But going out, they always have a re-fueling stop in either Dublin or Shannon.

[oktal3700]

@amc3 The only reason for the refuelling stop at Shannon is because a fully fuelled A318 cannot take off from London City due to the short runway.

[happyguy82]

@amc3 I thought the stop was only in Shannon. Does Dublin have facilities to process US Immigration and Customs?

[amc3]

@happyguy82 .....the passengers never leave the aircraft in Shannon or Dublin...

[happyguy82]

@amc3 at Shannon they do. The passengers clear US Immigration and Customs at Shannon so that when they arrive at JFK they can walk straight out of the airport like a domestic flight.

[OmsoiTekken]

JUST TO CLEAR IT UP:

British Airways have a successful operating service which two A318 aircraft go from London to JFK. They refuel in Dublin when on the way to JFK and refuel coming back from JFK.

[kudizu]

Great Video and hard flight, how did you do the passenger view at the start when you could see closing door, i see many people on you tube getting that views.

[amc3]

@kudizu .......Thanks for your comment. Not many flight sim aircraft have inside views of aircraft doors closing. But the one I used is an add on called Aircraft Collection, its all Airbus aircraft. The add on itself is not very good, but the inside views are not to bad. I just done the door closing, then added it to this video. Hope this helps.

[wardyboy6]

What's the song called? :)

[amc3]

@wardyboy6 ....the music is by the brilliant scottish band "frightened rabbit" song is called "swim"

[Senaku007]

The Airbus can't fly London to NY it's so long for that aircraft!

[amc3]

@Senaku007 ...the a/c re-fuels in Dublin outbound and returns to London non stop from JFK.

[myrnaloysboy]

@amc3 It actually refuels in Shannon

[wwdm]

unreal !

a a319 fly never so a long flight for example a b 747 his fly to JFK

a good video ;)

[FlightsimmerFMO]

@wwdm O.k. so that is not unreal! That's a real route from BA! And a special version of the A319 for example can fly from Germany to Peking, non stop! (A319 CJ VVIP) So, first think and look and than say a word!

[Trancelife200]

A318, A319 never fly that far

[amc3]

@Trancelife200

BA use 2 A318 aircraft on their London City-JFK route. Both aircraft are configured with 32 buiness class seats and have a refueling stop in Shannon, inbound and ourbound.

The service has been operating successfully for almost 2 years.

[gdwnet]

@amc3 Refuels in shannon outbound only. KJFK - EGLC inbound.

[Aviationnation10]

its an a319..

[Frederick15100]

You tuk off at LONDON CITY then you landed back at LONDON CITY.

[lfarrell96]

What's with the landing gear all the time??

[amc3]

@lfarrell96 ....the gear retracts @ 1.36 then at 1.56 he is lining up for the approch...hence the gear is down and locked = 3 green. I tend not to do a lot of "in flight vids as the are a bit more boring, but thanks for your comment. Good to sknow that people actually watch my shit lol...its just a bit of fun for me, nothing serious.

[lfarrell96]

@amc3 ...cool, i onl play on it for fun aswell. i wasnt being rude. But good flight!! keep it up!



[AugmentedB737]

Simple but entertaining, good work!

[planeboy737]

0:00 to 1:03 The aircraft is a A319 from First Class Simulations. After that you use a A318 :L WTF?

[amc3]

@planeboy737 ......its a daft video on youtube for a bit of fun mate. im not a serious video/film maker. but you know your flight sim addons...lol

[planeboy737]

@amc3 I know I know. But why don't you use the same aircraft for all shots lol :L

[amc3]

@planeboy737...... well I started off using the A318. Then wanted the door opening from the inside, hence the airbus from Fist Class Simulations ( pretty crap btw ) and forgot to change it back.

did the dame with one of my ryanair videos as well...2 different a/c.....lol
