Uncle flying 747. MEGA ARK

[ionutshowcase]

This is the SA Cargo

[murphyslaw16]

Autoland touch & go... How useless can it get.

[Rwy02]

@murphyslaw16 thumbs up

[Psycho9263]

Nice Touch 'N' Go!

[aqawiety]

34 years and still learning on a 747??

[bo31n9]

@aqawiety you dont start in a 747 you most likely start off in a dash 8

[grousserr]

Wow..touch&n go's in a 47...KOOL!

[robouts]

@grousserr

i'm sure that doesn't cost 140$/ hr ! LOL

[spartan12349]

the guy who sayd .... 30 20 10 sounds like the narratore from how its made

[salman501]

that vibration did the stick stacker came on for bit there

[robouts]

@salman501

no, it's the nose wheels spinning as the enter the wheel well after gear up. They don't have breaks like the main gear.

[SesamaLho]

What's sound it's mean (0:20)

[Darkrampage001]

@SesamaLho Minimums is the callout for the point at which if they were in IMC (cloud/fog/mist) they would have to make the decision if to abort the approach or continue to land. It varies between airport and approach types, ILS will generally get you down to 200/300 feet for your basic Cat1, anywhere down to no minimums which is Cat3B where it is completely flown by the autopilot. Your NDB/VOR approaches which are different have minimums that are usually more in the 500/800+ feet range.

[SesamaLho]

MEGA-ARK is the plane callsign?

[voja2000]

MegaArk is name for all SIA 747-cargo planes...

[Darkrampage001]

@SesamaLho Its the 'name' that SIA use on their 747F's

[sutton513]

Was that panel rumbling when departing or was it a stall warning?

[kingshane94]

You can´t stall when you the ground :D

It was the sound of the Auto-Pilot switch off and Auto Throttle.

[taineplane]

n right back up thats werd

[636555530]

Touch and go it is a training after all so this time they practice auto landing.

[michael123124]

whats mega ark

[alex9734]

mega ark is a Singapore 747 cargo aircraft that around Asia and back and forth to Australia transporting goods and stuff like that

[jorgete25]

They're practising autoland

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

was that a touch and go

[usafpilot29]

Touch-and-go.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

Oh thanks :-]

[usafpilot29]

No problem. They're practicing ILS approach.

[DBZTheLegend]

why did they got in the air again?

[mfatah281]

I think that was the sound alert of autopilot being disengaged after touchdown? Was this some touch-and-go exercise?

[Flightlevel000]

yes..it's a autopilot discon alert...

[nikolasdominguesduis]

yup it was the autopilot being disengaged

[jef1500]

its the autopilot disengage because he was landing on ILS he needs to shutdown the AP after touchdown ;)

[eclipse245]

You're supposed to disengage autopilot after touchdown. If it's a 747 it deff has auto-flare. Once you land you usually disengage, to then initiate reverse thrust. And since they took off again. they kinda HAD TO disengage cuz plane was in APPRCH mode.

[rischjuice]

very nice landing. probably one of the best 747 landings I have seen.

[madisonelectronic]

Another stupid Obozo lover with shit for brains.

[hhhvvim]

Well if you think it is ok to waste valuable resources for this type of nonsense, and everyone thought like you, this world would be a sad sad place.

[CaptainMoury]

definitely auto land, and disconnected autopilot after touchdown

[issueagent]

5stars + favorite! Fast flaps 20 touch and go! Good job!

[lolvks]

autoland??

[cwikstrom]

Not really... Look at the pilot to the left... He is flying the stick.

[wyz101]

why was this a touch-and-go ?

[21ADB21]

could be some sort of base training or aircraft checkride

[cwikstrom]

It is usually due to training... I would guess that the captain is new to the aircraft or the airport...

[heffron91]

if it is a Mega-Ark 747, it is a cargoplane, B747-412F :)

[ProGun1]

Very Good Crew Coordination.

[cwikstrom]

This is a normal check ride (training flight). If they had been to high they would have aborted the approach. They are both captains. The reason why the pilot to the right handles the throttles is for the flying pilot to focus on flying the bird. It is always (nearly) the pilot on the left that is the pilot in command.

[kondordv]

first of all it's real this movie? How they can land and take off on the same runway which doesn't look so long! Then you can check at 0:53 that the left one is captain, and at 1:18 that the right one is novice but at the hand for thrust the right one appear to be superior. Who know...

[ecuaviation]

both pilots are captains, on the 8 or 9th second, if u pause it, you would be able to see, they both have 4 stripes.

[1to2gay]

Touch and go toa payoh.

[chibyelol]

why they do at toa payoh?

[CathayMachado]

touch and go? for what? autoland was disengaged after touch down?

[Cris02212]

Did i hear the autopilot disarming just after touchdown?

[Jerram89]

another good indicator for a t&g is that the 4 light thingy on the side of the runway is at 4white (too high) (for normal landing)

[heffron91]

that lights are called the PAPI-system: Precision Approach Path Indicator

[yoto5951]

what happen?

[steelwall1]

yo isnt the AP suppose to be disengaged before decision height?

[tombewick380]

not always. pilot can choose eitehr way.

[patrickjambzlilpj]

whats the purpose of touch and go? :D

[tombewick380]

it is for training purposes only so that you can practice your takeoff and landings over and over again without taxiing and wasting fuel

[ymmijR]

Autolanding! look at the autopilot panel at 0:08 you can see autolanding is armed with CMD3

[Naim356]

Man i want to be a pilot to but for MAS.. Malaysia airline

[neversaydie1990]

i want to become a pilot!

[janrusgo]

My dad fly the 747 at lufthansa

[handscombmp]

I fly 757's for Thomas Cook and its a great job. Being a pilot may be stressful buy it is the only job i would want.

[pega57]

my dream is to fly the 777 and 787

[cornskid]

I think it was a touch and go, didn't see any reason for go around

[daniel840]

Hi,

no, I think that was a "Go Around"

[pineappleboy1]

It wanst a go around - it was a touch and go at senai airport. Thats where many of the SQ crews conduct their base training.

[mchou2002]

was that a touch and go?

[janrusgo]

yes

[jetpilot786]

Think your full of shit mate. EasyJet ain't been trading for 25 years so I'm not really sure where you think your grandads been working.

[dibdabson]

my grandad has been a pilot for Easy jet for 24 yrs And I idol Him I wanna be a pilot and also I wish i could get into a cockpit to watch him fly :(

[simpleythebest23]

whats the point of a touch and go??

[A69GOLDHAWK]

training for the nmew airline i think, they do alot of touch and goes for practice

[br76892]

What were they doing? Was it a touch-and-go?

[Frabusne]

A touch and go is the landing of an aircraft and the immediatly departure of this after touchdown

[samrammstein13]

I like the planes voice! 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10... BEEP BEEP BEEP...

[ASSHOLESHITBITCXH]

that is autopilot disengage

[polarbear60]

This is so hot!

[MajorYT]

Hi georgeyboy, how did you get inside a Singapore Airlines Cargo plane? And was that a Touch-and-go or something?

[Moulham2]

this sound of the auto pilot disengage , because it was an auto land landing and the pilot should disengage the autopilot as soon as the airplane touch down.

ITS NOT(the sound tells them they landed. i also work as a pilot for singapore airlines boeing 777. )

[elfling]

Yea that's what i said. Whatever your point is.

[IFlyIt]

the sound tells them they landed. i also work as a pilot for singapore airlines boeing 777.

[mammerlemam]

Are you sure you are a pilot?

[staxtics]

i really wanna be a singapore airlines pilot

[lolvks]

lol master caution and warning at touchdown

[747fanatic]

it means autoland

[RedoutesChoice]

Congratulations on a fantastic video, I highly enjoyed it - well done! Long live the 747.

[eltish96]

I want to be a singapore airlines pilot when i grow up

[SpAmHaCk123]

Man i may be kinda young to talk about this,but ive always dreamed about being an SIA plane pilot when I grow up.Though the stress,pilots are respected,highly-regarded and highly paid.They are also wowed by those"gossiping" ladies

[elfling]

No stress here mate :)

[airbus94]

why did they do a touch and go was it like training or something

[Frankof747]

thats why our friend here put: "here he is moving on to another airline"...now its pretty obvious right?? new pilot=training for new pilot?

[asdfasdffdasasdf]

What's the buzzing/whining sound after they touch down?

[elfling]

Yankee.....Idiot.

[sldauby]

It's the pilot setting the elevator trim back to takeoff position in order to continue with the touch-and-go.

[elfling]

Read below.

[elfling]

Cont'd....which is what baffles me about the Airbus disaster in Sao Paulo. Their approach speed was abnormally high, i saw the surveillance videos. I would even dare to say they didn't even select flaps 3 cause at that speed the flaps would have gotten ripped right out the trailing edges. Something is terribly amiss for pilots that supposedly had 15k hours under their belts but that said it all points to terrible CRM and human error.

[Riccardao007]

Touch and go is awesome, i like it alot!

[timothyngim]

Wow, that was fast braking and reopening of the throttle. That's JB airport?

[khelm2]

First time ever seeing a touch and go in a -400!

[elfling]

Great work by the FO......spot on

[p51pilot28]

awesome vid

[flyingphantom1988]

what kind landing was that? they seem 2 land then take off again?

[midgi320]

this is called touch and go landing; it is probably done for training purposes.

[p51pilot28]

or testing the aircraft. Georgeboy, this a training excercise or is he testing the new aircraft for singapore?

[elfling]

A 744 doesn't need "testing" as such. They are conducting a line check and the guy on the right acting as the FO is a check pilot. They also conducted a Cat II or III approach since the mcp alarm didn't go off till after the land 3 prompt & touchdown so this guy was obviously getting his 744 ticket. I just hope i don't need grey hair for it when my time comes.

[MADTASS]

Whats a MCP alarm,and are line checks a very formal affair or is it just a case of,"Do what you have been doing for the last umpteen years and lets go for a beer" if you get my meaning.

[elfling]

MCP=Mode Control Panel disengage alarm-6 tone sequence followed by auto throttle logic during reconfiguration from landing to go around mode. Line checks are very formal.

[MADTASS]

Cheers.We all have bad days and good days,if you have a bad line check,can you actually get relieved of flying duties(Sacked)or does the Airline address the relevant issues with a little extra down the line training?

[elfling]

No worries mate - Yes we all do...but if you fail a line check it's more than likely you won't get the job at all. Line checks may be formal but they're also very redundant and there's a lengthy training process behind. The check pilot is not gonna fail engines or do anything dangerous in a final assessment. You already did all abnormal procedures in simulators and mastered them to get you here, flying the real thing, the heavy metal.

[MADTASS]

No,what i meant was,say an already well established Pilot with B.A. or Easyjet does a bad six monthly line check,is he out of a job? And also, what would constitute a bad line check,I mean,your all professionals,doing the job for years,what could you possibly do wrong?

[elfling]

What you're asking is very airline specific and depends on many factors - things like seniority and experience weigh in most of all. If you're a noob and you fail a line check your chances of getting sacked certainly increase considerably. That said regardless of experience you can always make mistakes and we're all human, that's what Biennial Flight Reviews [BFR's] are for.

[p51pilot28]

touch and go

[SilentKiller91]

is that just a runway with no airport?

[matthew1137]

he did a touch n go

[lMattyl]

why did they go back up, and dont you think they were a little too high? anyway, nice video its unlikely i see a video with actual pilots flying the plane !, thanks for that one !! :-)

[lMattyl]

was there traffic??

[pilotboy4655]

no its not hard trust me

[qwert92]

yeah. you could be right. i wrote that 2 weeks ago. know im smarter :-P

[chris157666]

yeah it was an automated landing, you could hear them disengage the auto pilot upon touch down

[B747430]

Automatic landing during practise traffic patterns. Instructor is sitting right (also a captain). Seeing automatic landings during practise approaches is rare. simply a waste of 'manual time'. Nice vid.

[qwert92]

you can try landing a plane like that manually. call me if you survive :-P

[nasdaqdjitraders]

How do you think pilots have been landing jets since the 60's? With a computer? and what happens if the auto-pilot malfunctions? By the way not all runways have the capability for auto-landing, so the boys do it manually, like they've been doing for thousands of years!

[AmazonChitlin]

thousands?

[nasdaqdjitraders]

very intelligent, is that the best you could come up with?

[canhal]

it is a hard work, congratulates

[jsyoo]

a 747 doing touch and go!!! WOW, never seen one...

[qwert92]

you don't want to... that's hard...

[wtamim]

I know this. I used to work in factory right beside this runway. They do this touch and go for hours every day, damn noisy.

[davidpiloto767]

Y ademas desde cuando el coopiloto quitaria los mandos al comandante?? Cuando pone la mano en la palanca de gases como diciendo: "Anda ya acelero yo" ;) A aprte si te fijas los "spoilers" no estan armados al aterrizar por lo tanto no saltan y por lo tanto esperaban despegar nada mas tomar. Jeje bueno un saludito y felices vuelos.

[Ragfla]

Frustrada en toda regla probablemente por fallo de reversas.

[davidpiloto767]

FRUSTRADA? Fallo de reversas? no sera que estan en un vuelo de intrucción y eso es una de las toma/despegue? flaps en posicion de despegue, desconecta el autothrolle, compensador en posición de despegue....

[goldlion2]

hate that stupid computer talking shit

[danieljrm23]

It really helps you know.

[marcdadrummer]

SUPERB!! Wow, gotta love ur uncle yeah! haha

[mutont]

impressive!

[lightyears380]

as long as they are electronic devices that does not emit some sort of signals like vid cams, mp3s etc, its ok to leave them on as they will not affect the plane's radio communications.

[orca1982]

the videocam didn't interfere with the instrument? i mean, like, no all electronics devices must be switched off during take-off and landing right?

[772pilot]

cameras don't emit electronic signals

[prost8]

sorry, but why the touch and go? training or problem?

[Scotawa]

Beautiful touch and go..

[jbo777]

too bad u did not keep shooting the runway.. would have liked to see how short they were...

[GabrielBean7]

yes inmagine how many miles, what about how many trees its killed. (gobal warming)

[Paintballparrot]

yeah because like all 500 or so people in the plane driving an SUV across the country would have produced LESS greenhouse gases.

[GabrielBean7]

who said anything about an S.U.V

[Paintballparrot]

that was way over your head wasn't it? I'd imagine all 500 of those people in the plane DRIVING across the country would have produced less greenhouse gasses than having them all on one plane. Its like carpooling to the extreme, unless you wanna kill 300 years of technology and use horse and buggy. like it or not big planes like that are HELPING the envrionment and don't actucally produce alot of pollution

[GabrielBean7]

Shut up dont give me that bullshit.

Planes are almost the biggest contributors to global warming, and nothing is way over my head batty boy.

[Paintballparrot]

Further communication with you would pe pointless

I suggest you shut off your main power supply because the Fossil Fuel fired power plant feeding it probably produces more polloution every month that that plane will in its lifetime, It would also save me and the rest of the world from your nonsensical environmentalist ranting.

*End Communication*

[GabrielBean7]

im sorry i dont really think role play *End communication* responds to me. you really thing your a G but your probably a little computer nerd sitting hiding because you are scared of the world.

[buddhaboyRSX]

gabrielbean7 is a mother fucken hippie. WHAT A BITCH. Airplanes are not the biggest contributers to global warming. SO SHUT YOUR MOTHER FUCKEN MOUTH UP

[yoimaster]

and first i never said that they are the MOST contributors. i said one of the most. are you blind. and by the way are you meant to be a buddah because by swearing like that is gonna get you nowhere in that religion.

goodbye

[Snorkmaiden82]

Actually GabrielBean7, shipping, deforestation and power stations in China and India produce far more pollution and greenhouse gases than aviation. This is a fact. Give planes a break, they're always demonised as the bigger polluters.

Your video is brilliant, btw.

[lloydwilson1990]

klkl vid !!!

[BulutSarac]

cool touch and go with 747...

[PKPeter]

Was there any passengers on board that practice flight?

[BeckenPowa]

Singapore Airlines MEGA ARK, is a Cargo plane

[moman1208]

i have an uncle who is a 747 captain for eva air and i can relate

[GoDFather1974]

Thats a nice one touch and go

[Vectrect1]

I am a pilot of Singapore Airlines and that was a practice. my Co pilot makes jokes like were gonna crash or the left engines are blown up. ect ect ect

[persiaruler]

aah shut up little kid who dreams of being a pilot, your just 15 and live in australia, so whats this bullshit for...whats the sense of pretending to be a pilot OF not FOR but OF singapore airlines.

yeah i'ma astronaut...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[772pilot]

ooohhh preposition issues!

[gilitos92]

you'r right man well after so many years of his uncle flying I would like to see a manual landing please post any video of you'r uncle in manual app!!

THANKS!!

[darrenliew]

Yes of course he will have to. I was smiling to myself as I read that WMKJ has a short runway. What I meant was that if they have better apron facilities they will kick CHangi`s b*tt! Been to that airport so many many times. See the Sultan`s private hangar as well!

[darrenliew]

That is not really a short runway. Johor`s runway is a really long one something in the neighbourhood of 11000 feet so I would not call that short. My dad has also done a couple of touch and gos there when he was doing his first few flights on the B747. Also the landing in the video was an autoland so the credit should be given to the aircraft`s computer on that one too!

[gilitos92]

well men you're right about the autoland but I'm shure his uncle will do it all manually

[Matty231]

exactly!

[gilitos92]

wow man congrats beautiful landing really full respect to your uncle really well done and to do it in a short runway like that really wow!!

[nasadesign]

i wanna be a pilot of the great 747 but i am a graphic designer its a great video full respect to your uncle!!

[asruff]

if u say his uncle wasnt good,why dont u fly the plane all by urself with nobody helping u.u cant even land a parachute and u wanna complain
