No, i believe you when ,we flew over fortyfive thousand feet on our way bake from Orlando several years ago because of severe turbulance from the start of take off , so much so that the stewardesses were told to get back to their seats and they remained there for almost forty minutes after take off and even then having to go back on several ocassions because of a very rough flight ,
@Clempt90 Tell me 1 airliner thats licsensed to fly at 50-55 thousand feet, because it's not legal. And i'm not mistaken, Planes do generally fly at 37,000ft.
Some business jets can fly at 55,000 feet, so could the Concorde....so im not entirely sure if it's legal or not. Even if it is illegal though, most commercial airliners cannot physically climb higher than around 42,000 feet!
The thing that worries me is that if lets say at 55,000 feet if there is a cabin depressurization, you only have a few seconds to react while at lower altitudes you would have slightly longer.
@thomasboss01 Yes but this is an airliner and concorde is out of service.... i've seen no other airliner approved to fly past 42,000ft....And i don't any pilot would stupid enough to do so.
Looks like the tops of a super-cell or two. A nasty storm under them no matter what you want to call it, for them to have tops over 40,000 is a big updraft. Probably could tie a knot in a windsock with those winds.
since they say in some tales that you could lay down on clouds jump out of the plane and land on the clouds right there and tell me what happen to you :)
On my way to Ca last week we had the same announcement. This cloud, however, had well defined borders, rose about 5,000 feet (or more) above our plane, and as our pilot approached the large cloud formation, he turned slightly to the left, and went around it. I have never seen such a large cloud formation so high.
Maximum service ceiling altitude is 39,000ft for the A320 those cumulo where probably about 37,000 luckily enough. True enough those cloud formatiomations can go right up to 65,000ft depending on the severity of the storm. Thuderstorms generally max out at 47-50,000ft while hurricanes will go right up to 65,000 at a catagory 5.
Great video :) never knew you got storms that high .... Nice to learn something new .... This might be a stupid question bit can a normal passenger plane fly above 40000 feet ???
@Celticbhoy18881916 often in the US midwest, you'll see storm tops 55-60K feet. It's not terribly unusual when flying from (say) Austin to Dallas where you'll have to fly south to Laredo then back up to Dallas if there is a line of storms like that. No way to go over them at that point...
@Celticbhoy18881916 To answer your question, yes. Normally they like to stay at anywhere from around 30000 to 40000 depending on weather, traffic, and even direction of flight. I do believe the traveling passenger jet was concord which could travel as high as 60000ft at a speed of Mach 2.
That's a Jetstar A320 which have a surface ceiling of 39,000 - and its a prerecorded announcement but its not automated. The crew have to select that PA to play as they secure.
As a pilot, and after watching the video, I don't see anything wrong with the information given. It's true that you don't normally find such thick cloud at such an altitude, but just because it isn't normal, doesn't mean it can't happen. Thunderstorms and other vertically developed clouds are a different ball game, they could start somewhere near the ground, and extend all the way into the Stratosphere (not 100% sure, would have to reference). Wish I could have been flying.
Everyone is a cloud expert just like now that Fukushima has happened everyone is a radiation expert. we need more natural disasters like that and videos like this imagine how many 5 minute experts we'd have!
@jaronee No, they are seriously 40,000 feet above the ground. I was flying frontier, and the have the channel on their tv's showing us where they are, how fast they are going, and the altitude. We were 39,500 feet above the ground, and we hit clouds just like this. NO JOKE.
ok 1st of all listen up A320 CANNOT I REPEAT CANOT fly abocve 39,400 ft THATS MAX)))) MAXIMUM ALTITUDE SO NO ITS NOT ATLEAST 40 its maybe almost jus dont argue with me i no for a fact that a320 cannot fly above 39 and also the service celling is 38K
Spectacular footage, thanks for sharing. I encountered similar weather flying at 37,000 near Chicago. it was very turbulent but very scenic as well, after we broke through the tops - I'll share the vid as a reply
Another reason that these clouds are cumulonimbus are the tops burst from the storm anvil. These "bursting tops" in this cloud represent continued instability of air in this region of the atmosphere as warm air continues to rise and condense. This effect is almost always characterized with storm clouds.
Seeing the bursting tops and the flattening of the clouds, I can probably assume the storms below you were strong or even severe. Great video.
I am not a professional in either field, but let me explain my opinion on this video. 40,000 feet is a normal cruising altitude for larger jets, although slightly higher than the average 32-35,000 feet we're used to. On the clouds, there is little doubt in my mind, as an amateur meteorologist, that those clouds are cumulonimbus. Hugbear is correct in saying that these clouds are being sheared by the jet stream, but there are other factors that make these tops flat. See next post.
Isn't this great? An amateur meteorologist meeting on youtube, who use wikipedia to source their info? Then you have the amateur pilots, who have never flown a plane before, probably other than Microsoft Flight Simulator, and they probably sourced wikipedia too. Besides, when you have passengers on a flight, wouldn't it make sense to fly ABOVE a storm, rather than through it? I wouldn't call the pilots crazy... just plain smart.
@isocrate27, I didn't see any UFOs. You're misleading.
oh wait that is not even 40k feet ... I can even give you your proof ,if you go to 1:00 then you can see that there is a much higher layer of clouds which are the atmospheric clouds sooo this is totally wrong ....
ok first of all this is not cumulous and second of all when I went to my home my plane visited many of thoose clouds at 39k feet and 3rd of all if it was a thunderstorm cloud at 40k feet then it wouldve reached much higher than it alrady is .....
this is exactly why i want to be allowed to carry a gun on a plane so if things get to scary or i feel a panic attack comming on BANG! "oh hello jesus!"
Hey hugbear27, I believe you when you say that this took place at 40,000 feet. The dark blue color of the sky that we catch brief glimpses of at the very top of the picture indicates an altitude of roughly 40,000 feet. You don't see that dark blue color in the troposphere, where thick clouds are usually spotted.
Do yourself a favour, before you post information that you obviously dont know about, do your research, here is a hint research Cumulonimbus (Vertically developed clouds (base near surface to ca. 10,000 feet; tops ca. 40,000 feet or higher)
@hugbear27 why get so aggravated by it, hate comments like this from people like you, mr know it all. take the video for what its worth and the fact someone has taken the time to post it up for our benefit. people like you ripping people on youtube to bits. LOSER !!!!
this looks like a pretty good size cell if the tops are FL400...but thats impossble unless you're flying over the himalayas or something. also, no bumps???? must have been edited out :P
And that Fool Pilot carried the plane through that stormy clouds which could explode the plane and raised it in higher altitude at the last moment. They should remember the Air France Tragedy in South Atlantic in 2010.
This happened to me on a return flight home from Orlando, Florida going over the state of Texas in the summer of 2009. The captain had to suspend beverage service due to considerable turbulence and also asked the flight attendants to take their seats. When it hit, it was pretty rough for a while. But the captain lowered altitude to go underneath the roughest part of it. It was pretty tense for a bit.
For the people questioning the thunderstorms and clouds at this altitude clouds can reach up to 60000 ft in the tropics. And yes airliners do cruise at this altitude often only some jets can only get so high after while once some of the fuel has been used, but business jets regularly cruise at FL 500-550. The Concorde, on the other hand, would cruise at even up FL 580-600.
@MrSpongebob000 40,000 is about the highest they would go. Up to yesterday my uncle flew in on a Virgin Atlantic flight and their altitude was also 40,000 so yes they do cruise at this altitude. Last year i flew as well and coming back to NYC our cruising alt was 39,000 on a B 757.
@MrSpongebob000 That's not really the case. The cruising altitude can be anything from 25,000 ft to 40,000 ft on regular passenger airliners (business jets and military aircraft go much higher). The cruising altitude depends on what has been assigned on the flight plan for that leg of the journey i.e. it might change later in the flight or the pilots or radar controller can request or assign an altitude change.
your dumb. planes r not allowed to fly at 37,000, theyre only allowed at multiples of 4 dickhead. 40,000 is normal for usually international flights, domestic are usually 32,000 - 34,000.. and sometimes down at 24,000
In reality, aircraft are regulated by a 1 mile, 1,000 ft vert rule. Aircraft are to be seperated a minimum of 1,000 ft vertical distance, and 1 mile horizontal distance from another aircraft. Aircraft flight levels worldwide are based upon these basic rules. Flight level IS NOT A MULTIPLE OF 4! It is a base 1000 rule: Flights flying North or East fly at odd altitudes seperated by 1000 ft (330, 350, 370), while flights flying South or West fly at even altitudes (320, 340, 360).
@edmfflyer Maybe if you knew more about clouds you would know there are 4 types of clouds. Low, middle, high, and clouds with extensive vertical development. Clouds from sfc to 6,500 are stratus, middle are from 6,500 to 20,000 and they are alto, and high are cirrus. Clouds with extensive vert dev are cumulous. That being said there is nothing called a "normal cloud layer"...
@slowmocrow why dont you get fucked? Fuckin bird brain, your making out your some kind of hot shot pilot. Your a fuckin grub. Im a meterolologist and what your sayin isnt 100% accurate.
@Teltcher If you're the meteorologist, then by all means, tell us what he got wrong. As far as I can see, though, he pretty much nailed the cloud layers. Well, except for the fact he spelled cumulus wrong.
Cumulonimbus Incus clouds can easily get up to 40,000 feet and when they hit the stratosphere, they anvil outward. Often, when the storm is powerful enough, it juts through into the stratosphere up to 50,000 feet. Please get your facts straight before you try to get smart.
The A320 has a service celling of 39,000 feet so IF you were flying at 40,000 feet you might have some stupid pilots, so in what I am trying to say, you were not flying at 40,000 feet
stop at 1:24 dat cloud near der rite side od der wing and screen looks like a face lolol
i hate turbulances so much once i was walking bck from der toilet yh it smelt bad and a big 1 hit and ma knees bent i fell it was funny and all ma friend were pissing wiv me bout it der whole flight
Just want to say all you dicks are wrong you can get thunder storms at 40,000 feet the vidoe doesnt lie so stop being arsholes by sending wido comments

I don't know any planes that have a cruising altitude of 40,000 Ft. It's usually 35,000 or 38,000.
MrSpongebob000 1 year ago
@MrSpongebob000 40,000 is about the highest they would go. Up to yesterday my uncle flew in on a Virgin Atlantic flight and their altitude was also 40,000 so yes they do cruise at this altitude. Last year i flew as well and coming back to NYC our cruising alt was 39,000 on a B 757.

@MrSpongebob000 That's not really the case. The cruising altitude can be anything from 25,000 ft to 40,000 ft on regular passenger airliners (business jets and military aircraft go much higher). The cruising altitude depends on what has been assigned on the flight plan for that leg of the journey i.e. it might change later in the flight or the pilots or radar controller can request or assign an altitude change.

honestly, what is so amazing about that announcement??? I think I've heard it on almost every other flight with LH in 2007/2008 durong wintertime...

It is not surprising, cumuli-nimbi often arrives as high as 13-18Km (as to 50000 feet)

ur supposed 2 be 37,000 feet 40,00 is gravitational puull u could have got sucked in space and die jk but its 37,00 ft though
hikingpain47 1 year ago
@hikingpain47
your dumb. planes r not allowed to fly at 37,000, theyre only allowed at multiples of 4 dickhead. 40,000 is normal for usually international flights, domestic are usually 32,000 - 34,000.. and sometimes down at 24,000

@volcom1722
In reality, aircraft are regulated by a 1 mile, 1,000 ft vert rule. Aircraft are to be seperated a minimum of 1,000 ft vertical distance, and 1 mile horizontal distance from another aircraft. Aircraft flight levels worldwide are based upon these basic rules. Flight level IS NOT A MULTIPLE OF 4! It is a base 1000 rule: Flights flying North or East fly at odd altitudes seperated by 1000 ft (330, 350, 370), while flights flying South or West fly at even altitudes (320, 340, 360).

hey dude ;)
sorry but you chose the wrong cloud typ in wikipedia ;)
is is not a cumuli nimbus, this is just a normal cloud layer you know from a overcast :P
edmfflyer 1 year ago
well to be precise it is an anvil cloud spreading out in the jetstream
hugbear27 1 year ago 8
@hugbear27 This is indeed a Cumuli numbus, otherwise known as a CB.
These can range up to an altitude of atleast 11km..
As a glider pilot, everything I've been told is; STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM EM.:! :)

@edmfflyer why would it be overcast at 40,000ft?
6V92TA 1 year ago
@edmfflyer Maybe if you knew more about clouds you would know there are 4 types of clouds. Low, middle, high, and clouds with extensive vertical development. Clouds from sfc to 6,500 are stratus, middle are from 6,500 to 20,000 and they are alto, and high are cirrus. Clouds with extensive vert dev are cumulous. That being said there is nothing called a "normal cloud layer"...

@slowmocrow why dont you get fucked? Fuckin bird brain, your making out your some kind of hot shot pilot. Your a fuckin grub. Im a meterolologist and what your sayin isnt 100% accurate.
Teltcher 11 months ago
@Teltcher If you're the meteorologist, then by all means, tell us what he got wrong. As far as I can see, though, he pretty much nailed the cloud layers. Well, except for the fact he spelled cumulus wrong.

DanielR305 1 year ago
Cumulonimbus Incus clouds can easily get up to 40,000 feet and when they hit the stratosphere, they anvil outward. Often, when the storm is powerful enough, it juts through into the stratosphere up to 50,000 feet. Please get your facts straight before you try to get smart.
AndrewFilmsInc 1 year ago
The A320 has a service celling of 39,000 feet so IF you were flying at 40,000 feet you might have some stupid pilots, so in what I am trying to say, you were not flying at 40,000 feet
