@TonyFirelli Just saw your infantile response. What are you, 13, 14? And I'm not American, so that makes your cowardly ignorance even more obvious.
This cockpit environment is unacceptable in todays flying! An experienced captain does NOT shout at his co-pilot. If the co-pilot is making a mistake that is dangerous, he should simply say "my aircraft", and take over. There was no mention in my comment about nationality, I don't care where you're from, you simply don't communicate like that.
That was an excellent plane in his time...There were a time of triumph of Soviet aviation....There will be a time of today's modern and safety aircrafts such as Boeing and Airbus which are considered the best for today be an obsolete
What is crazy i this video is that this is actually Flight simulator in Russian Style one pilot is more or less pro and the second pilot is student if we assume that this plane can carry at least 150 passengers this is just crazy this actually life simulator i mean that pro pilot actually shows what to do what to check how do landing what steps should be done before during and after landing This is so Russian style Airline trying cut on pilot training programs on flight simulators
Liked the ATS system. The Captain seemed "pissed" with the way the First Officer was piloting the airplane (did you see him grab the yoke and rock it back and forth).
The safety records for tu-154 are not so bad. Its just that the maintenance of these aircraft can sometimes be poor. The plane itself is great. more than 30 years in service and still carries people safely.
Isn't this the Russian plane that needs 5 crewmembers to fly it? If so, why? American and European planes need only 2 or sometimes 3. Also, how many Tu-154's have gone down? This plane doesn't look like a quality aircraft, the design looks like it was borrowed from the Boeing 727, yes?
@RealMuGen Nah, only problem there was shitty safety culture which forced them to land in too bad visibility. That president had called those pilots cowards before when they didnt land in war zone, I guess that he now got what he wanted, too bad that so many innocent people died with him.
Pytanie 11 dla Rodakow i Braci Rosjan. Dlaczego w celu unikniecia Smolenskiej katastrofy nie powiedziano zalodze samolotu TU154M, ze w oparciu o optyczna kontrole stwierdzono tylko czesciowe wysuniecie podwozia samolotu i dalsze ladowanie doprowadzi do katastrofy.
Question 11 for Polish Citizens and our Russian Brothers. Why, in the goal to escape the Smolensk catastrophe, did nobody warn the crew of the TU154M that, on basis of optical control, it was found that the landing gear of airplane is partially extended and continuing with a landing would result in disaster.
Yes, sounds very bad...The captain is not a mad man, student is not doing very bad. Russians are rude, have no communications skills or culture....(I am not Russian but speak fluent Russian) and again, Russians, if you do not like my comment you can simply kiss my a...
@iberia777us only in your dreams ))) No of russians will kiss your black georgian ass )) May be you gayfriend will, i dont know. Hurr hurr hurr. No culture or skills, you are so funny ))) Make me laugh. Pilots must communicate fast and clear to understand. But not a Shakspeare language )))
Блин идиоты англоязыкие комментят то,в чем не петрят. Yo! silly lamers! dont comment and judge russian pilots. Those chaps are really great! Your Caps wouldnot even take our birds off the deck ,so have respect .
Hey, this is what I'm talkin' about!! This is flying!! Check out all of those "steam gauges" - wow! "Doncha" just luv em? Yesssss! Did anyone notice that the slip-skid indicator always indicated about "a half ball to the right"? Maybe the airframe is "bent" causing the aircraft to fly "a bit sideways" - just a thought.
Oh, I think I had "that guy" when I was working on my Instrument; sounds familiar. He was a furloghed Pam Am pilot - and was exceedly pissed off!!
OMG russian pilots are really crazy, they are like gestappo in the cockpit! And what the hell is that ringing signal hahahahahahahhahahah, they are so retarded lol

Question: Two flights leaving Moscow for London both using Airbus 320, one is operated by British Air the other by any Russian Airline of your choice. Which one do you get on or put your wife and kids on? Just asking.
So there. I don't need to learn Russian to criticize the captain. As someone who has spent years in the cockpit training environment, I know enough to know this approach is not productive, cultural differences aside. One only needs to look at the Russian accident rate to know they need to make significant improvements. And that telephone still makes me laugh everytime I view the video.
@Tom28770 They have their ways. Some aircraft do crash more than others, due to the amount in service (e.g. TU-154 is the best example). However, that isn't that bad even
Because the captain is yelling and is unprofessional. There is no checklist use. Checklists from memory do NOT count. A checklist needs to be read. And that telephone ringing sound for a marker beacon is hilarious, it sounds like a 1930s phone. So if you cannot handle stupid comments on the Internet, I suggest you refrain from surfing because 99% of what is posted online is STUPID!
I thought the ringing was the flight engineer sending a telegraph signal to the engine room. The captain needed more coal in the TU-154's boilers. "All ahead full steam, comrade!"
For a bit of sanity here, I only wish to know if there are still any Tu-154s in regular service on this planet. Though I would LOVE to fly in one in the flightdeck, even to be a passenger at this point I would be thrilled! Never yet got to fly in any former CCCP build aircraft! LOVE to do so before they are all retired and taken over by the comercial monopolies of Boeing and Airbus! Please let me know how I can find where these planes are still flying! Thanks.
@electricrailwaygod You can come to Russia and fly 2nd class airlines like UTAir. Unfortunely major russian airlines doesn`t use tu-154 anymore. Love this old fast reliable bird, hope to fly it again too.
@rmlchin at 3:09 he says ''u can jerk it left and right itll still fly forward'' lol. so im guessing the captains control yoke was on standby or sumshit

@Tom28770 Yelling becouse the FO is sleeping, Checklist is heard starting from 2:18 till 2:36, and that is not the phone, thats the beacon marker audio alert. Captain does the right thing, the FO makes lots of mistakes... I suggest you lean russian before you start to criticise these pilots.
The strength of Russian aircraft, both civilian and military, is their reliability and simplicity. This makes maintenance costs lower without affecting performance. Granted, they might not be as sophisticated as their Western counterparts. Then again, if you need an aircraft to take you safely from point A to point B, then why bother with luxuries?

@underworldblu You must be a Russian in the U.S to make such a stupid statement .
Today Jan-1st 2011 the news once again shows another T 154 has blown up on take off and just a few weeks ago on take off from the Moscow airport a T 154 crashed on take off .
And what about the Crash with a Russian aircraft that like the head of the Polish Government .
Russian plans fall out of the sky, Blow up, crash land so often its not funny.
These planes are nothing but Russian Junk like everything in Russia

@LompicoEletronics I can guess from looking at your Profile, you are a glue sniffing 25 years old who lives in the U.S and believe everything Russian is superior to anything in the world because you play video war games that shows everything Russian is superior , and you hate George Bush and Obana but you love Vladimir Putin because you think he is a warm and fussy soft kind of Russian ! I have never seen so many Fucked up shit for brains American kids as their are here on You Tobe forums
@Moldovawineimporter Amazing that comment just reinforces the Fact your ignorant and have no fucking clue what your talking about in the very least. But then again Im quite used to that on the internet.
I wont be responding to you anymore. Its simply a waste of time.
No creo que el TU-154 sea un avión, feo o un "tronco volante" como algunos quieren hacer ver. Este es un avión mítico, seguro, fiable, rápido..., cómo toda pieza de ingienería humana es propenso a tener fallos o sufrir accidentes, pero lo mejor de esta tecnología de la era sovietica es su fortaleza y duravilidad, con la exección del DC-3, estos jet sovieticos han resistido la prueba del tiempo. En cuanto a su aviónica, el hecho es que se puede volar con ella de manera segura aunque si arcana.
its a very ugly plane and cockpit, And I would hate to be air traffic control trying to understand them! And I would hate if the captain flying my plane did that to the steering (3:08)...
@squizzoo Can your Cessna fly at 975 km/h, I don't think so!!!!! man this aircraft is like a muscle car, fast and loud as hell without the modren tech gizmos whereas cessnas are honda civics, slow as shit with tech which is dummed out to a point that if you want speed you would have chuck out your entire savings just to make it go fast without killing yourself!!!!!
@deino117 If you would know the technology of the Tu154, you wouldn't say that it's behind the west (I think this thinking is still a remnant of old American/European propaganda against "evil communist Soviet Union"). In fact, the Tu154 was/is more advanced that it's American competitor during those days, the Boeing 727. The Tu154 is that much powerful, it can reach cruise altitude within only 10 minutes. And it can land on grass, not only on concrete!
@AirSimming I'm with you man. I think the Soviets were totally underrated. I guess the main reason I said that was that the planes were certainly heavier and dirtier (i.e. more pollution) than western models, according to an air traffic controller I spoke to once anyway. And I do remember seeing a Tupolev airliner lining up for takeoff - he has to goose the engines to max while keeping the brakes full on, and even so it looked like he used every last foot of the runway.
@AirSimming You're definitely right that they can take rougher conditions. That applies to later fighter variants too - their most advanced models, like the Su27, can handle gravel strips. And they use basic jet fuel. In wartime conditions I think they'd have an edge over the 'thoroughbred' US fighters, that need advanced strips and hyper refined fuel.
@deino117 Further, the autopilot of the Tu154 does not only fly heading and radio navigational radials like it was the case for the 727. It could already fly orthodromic courses + it already uses an auto thrust system even for landing, which the 727 did and does not have at all. For emergency landings there is a switch which is used to replace air by nitrogen in fuel tanks 1 and 4 (the tanks located in the fuselage) to prevent fire. This is something no Boeing or Airbus aircraft has until today.
@deino117 I got those info from the Tu154 operating manual (a translation of it). But you certainly can get some information in the web. Just search a little bit.
@deino117 In case you mean spaceflight stuff as well, there are some good web sites available. First of all NASA and ESA of course (just look via Google). Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, also has a web page of course. spaceflightnow dot com also is good for news and info.
@deino117 And also, even if all three engines stop working during flight, there is no complete loss of hydraulic power since the engine driven pumps are still driven by airflow through the engines. This is also something which is not the case on Boeing or Airbus aircraft. They have to use a ram air turbine/power transfer unit. And did I mention the automatic stabilizer which the 727 also doesn't have? ;)
Russian aircraft, especially the Tu154, are great products of human engineering.
@deino117 We finally have to get rid of that old thinking that Russian technology can't and could compete with western technology if we talk about aviation and space flight. They easily could and can: first satellite in space, first being in space (the dog Laika), first man in space (and first woman in space by the way). And they still hold the record for the biggest aircraft ever build (Antonov 225).
@AirSimming I totally agree! The Soviets are still unrecognized for their achievements, simply because we still think of them as the enemy. (The biggest travesty is that even now no one in the "west" will admit they won WWII - but that's another story.)
At Pearson airport (Toronto) we see the odd Antonov 124, and they're impressive enough, but the 225 has never come here. I guess Volga-Dnepr has no customers in this part of the world, although they did take it to Edmonton once.
@deino117 Oh, that was a quick answer. I guess it's the time difference. It's almost 5 a.m. here in Germany right now :)
I know what you mean by the airplanes are dirtier. The problem is that Russia has more airlines than any other country in the world I think. Most airlines are small and some of them sadly don't take much care of maintenance than we do in Canada, Europe and the USA. That's why the seem to be less safe. Aviation is regulated differently in Russia but it gets better already.
@deino117 By the way, applying power and then releasing brakes is the usual procedure for the Tu154. But I don't know for other Russian aircraft models. They also can use reverse thrust on the Tu154 already before touchdown to be able to land on shorter runways.
@deino117 And last but not least: Russia operates the most reliable and most used manned spacecraft and rocket, the Soyuz (as even cited by the European Space Agency). Yes, it's not the US Space Shuttle. Soyuz operates for 38 years without any loss of spacecraft, whilst the Shuttle had two total losses including 14 death astronauts within 17 years (1986 and 2003). Soyuz is that much reliable that NASA chosed it to be the primary crew transfer vehicle to and from the international Space Station.
@AirSimming Thanks - I didn't know the reliability figures on Soyuz vs Shuttle. I'll mention that to my friend who tends to disparage Soviet technology.
@deino117 Times have changed a lot. NASA will have to rely on Soyuz and even buy seats once the Space Shuttle will be retired next year. If you would have told this to people in the 1980's, everybody would have laughed at you :)
Never say that western technology was/is ahead of Russian technology. It never really was. It was just the propaganda from our governments which made us thinking that way. The only time the USA was "ahead" actually just was the Apollo (Moon landing) program.
its strange to see the aircraft in real life after flying it for so long on flight simulator. I feel like i could step in and have no problem flying it xD.
@AZ1994Ab Russian aircrafts are old but reliable. The russian aerobatic planes are the best like Su-31.If you fly with something,which has cockpit you can understand that old soviet cockpits also.
This captain deserved a nice kick! Jerking a rooky isn't a good idea, even if conditions are fine. But my point is, did anyone see that captain's blinder was actually CLOSED until they've got down to 80m?! He kept it closed to imitate low cloud cover (commander's weather minima allows cloud base at 80m). This is strictly prohibited since that blinder got stuck once and guys have eaten a lot of dirt...
A really composed and carefully considered atmosphere in that cockpit, just the job for a professional and competently handled flight you might say........NOT!!
@TonyFirelli Just saw your infantile response. What are you, 13, 14? And I'm not American, so that makes your cowardly ignorance even more obvious.

@Tom28770 Yelling becouse the FO is sleeping, Checklist is heard starting from 2:18 till 2:36, and that is not the phone, thats the beacon marker audio alert. Captain does the right thing, the FO makes lots of mistakes... I suggest you lean russian before you start to criticise these pilots.

The strength of Russian aircraft, both civilian and military, is their reliability and simplicity. This makes maintenance costs lower without affecting performance. Granted, they might not be as sophisticated as their Western counterparts. Then again, if you need an aircraft to take you safely from point A to point B, then why bother with luxuries?

@underworldblu You must be a Russian in the U.S to make such a stupid statement .
Today Jan-1st 2011 the news once again shows another T 154 has blown up on take off and just a few weeks ago on take off from the Moscow airport a T 154 crashed on take off .
And what about the Crash with a Russian aircraft that like the head of the Polish Government .
Russian plans fall out of the sky, Blow up, crash land so often its not funny.
These planes are nothing but Russian Junk like everything in Russia

No creo que el TU-154 sea un avión, feo o un "tronco volante" como algunos quieren hacer ver. Este es un avión mítico, seguro, fiable, rápido..., cómo toda pieza de ingienería humana es propenso a tener fallos o sufrir accidentes, pero lo mejor de esta tecnología de la era sovietica es su fortaleza y duravilidad, con la exección del DC-3, estos jet sovieticos han resistido la prueba del tiempo. En cuanto a su aviónica, el hecho es que se puede volar con ella de manera segura aunque si arcana.

No knock on Soviet technology though. Very impressive planes, even if they were somewhat behind the west in some respects.
deino117 1 year ago
@deino117 If you would know the technology of the Tu154, you wouldn't say that it's behind the west (I think this thinking is still a remnant of old American/European propaganda against "evil communist Soviet Union"). In fact, the Tu154 was/is more advanced that it's American competitor during those days, the Boeing 727. The Tu154 is that much powerful, it can reach cruise altitude within only 10 minutes. And it can land on grass, not only on concrete!
AirSimming 1 year ago
@AirSimming I'm with you man. I think the Soviets were totally underrated. I guess the main reason I said that was that the planes were certainly heavier and dirtier (i.e. more pollution) than western models, according to an air traffic controller I spoke to once anyway. And I do remember seeing a Tupolev airliner lining up for takeoff - he has to goose the engines to max while keeping the brakes full on, and even so it looked like he used every last foot of the runway.
deino117 1 year ago
@AirSimming You're definitely right that they can take rougher conditions. That applies to later fighter variants too - their most advanced models, like the Su27, can handle gravel strips. And they use basic jet fuel. In wartime conditions I think they'd have an edge over the 'thoroughbred' US fighters, that need advanced strips and hyper refined fuel.
deino117 1 year ago
@deino117 Further, the autopilot of the Tu154 does not only fly heading and radio navigational radials like it was the case for the 727. It could already fly orthodromic courses + it already uses an auto thrust system even for landing, which the 727 did and does not have at all. For emergency landings there is a switch which is used to replace air by nitrogen in fuel tanks 1 and 4 (the tanks located in the fuselage) to prevent fire. This is something no Boeing or Airbus aircraft has until today.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@AirSimming Where do you get all this info? I'd like to know more of this stuff.
deino117 1 year ago
@deino117 I got those info from the Tu154 operating manual (a translation of it). But you certainly can get some information in the web. Just search a little bit.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@deino117 In case you mean spaceflight stuff as well, there are some good web sites available. First of all NASA and ESA of course (just look via Google). Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, also has a web page of course. spaceflightnow dot com also is good for news and info.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@deino117 And also, even if all three engines stop working during flight, there is no complete loss of hydraulic power since the engine driven pumps are still driven by airflow through the engines. This is also something which is not the case on Boeing or Airbus aircraft. They have to use a ram air turbine/power transfer unit. And did I mention the automatic stabilizer which the 727 also doesn't have? ;)
Russian aircraft, especially the Tu154, are great products of human engineering.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@deino117 We finally have to get rid of that old thinking that Russian technology can't and could compete with western technology if we talk about aviation and space flight. They easily could and can: first satellite in space, first being in space (the dog Laika), first man in space (and first woman in space by the way). And they still hold the record for the biggest aircraft ever build (Antonov 225).
AirSimming 1 year ago
@AirSimming I totally agree! The Soviets are still unrecognized for their achievements, simply because we still think of them as the enemy. (The biggest travesty is that even now no one in the "west" will admit they won WWII - but that's another story.)
At Pearson airport (Toronto) we see the odd Antonov 124, and they're impressive enough, but the 225 has never come here. I guess Volga-Dnepr has no customers in this part of the world, although they did take it to Edmonton once.
deino117 1 year ago
@deino117 Oh, that was a quick answer. I guess it's the time difference. It's almost 5 a.m. here in Germany right now :)
I know what you mean by the airplanes are dirtier. The problem is that Russia has more airlines than any other country in the world I think. Most airlines are small and some of them sadly don't take much care of maintenance than we do in Canada, Europe and the USA. That's why the seem to be less safe. Aviation is regulated differently in Russia but it gets better already.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@deino117 By the way, applying power and then releasing brakes is the usual procedure for the Tu154. But I don't know for other Russian aircraft models. They also can use reverse thrust on the Tu154 already before touchdown to be able to land on shorter runways.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@deino117 And last but not least: Russia operates the most reliable and most used manned spacecraft and rocket, the Soyuz (as even cited by the European Space Agency). Yes, it's not the US Space Shuttle. Soyuz operates for 38 years without any loss of spacecraft, whilst the Shuttle had two total losses including 14 death astronauts within 17 years (1986 and 2003). Soyuz is that much reliable that NASA chosed it to be the primary crew transfer vehicle to and from the international Space Station.
AirSimming 1 year ago
@AirSimming Thanks - I didn't know the reliability figures on Soyuz vs Shuttle. I'll mention that to my friend who tends to disparage Soviet technology.
deino117 1 year ago
@deino117 Times have changed a lot. NASA will have to rely on Soyuz and even buy seats once the Space Shuttle will be retired next year. If you would have told this to people in the 1980's, everybody would have laughed at you :)
Never say that western technology was/is ahead of Russian technology. It never really was. It was just the propaganda from our governments which made us thinking that way. The only time the USA was "ahead" actually just was the Apollo (Moon landing) program.

This captain deserved a nice kick! Jerking a rooky isn't a good idea, even if conditions are fine. But my point is, did anyone see that captain's blinder was actually CLOSED until they've got down to 80m?! He kept it closed to imitate low cloud cover (commander's weather minima allows cloud base at 80m). This is strictly prohibited since that blinder got stuck once and guys have eaten a lot of dirt...
