  • Sir, have you landed in St. Marteen yet?

  • @afgrocks123 Have you checked his videos yet? ...

  • @ebksb123 no, but i am going to now!

  • What would be your best advice for nervous fliers like myself, which I don't fly at all but because of circumstances of Mexico drug war I must now. Need advice and kinda of assurance of a plane not coming down if I may... Thxs

  • @Barriolaclemencia Just try and suck it up... remember, your actually in more danger while driving to the airport that while your on the plane. I think everyone (including myself) gets nervous while flying, it's only natural. It may help to keep the window shut, and remember that turbulence is normal.

  • SUB

  • I LOVE taking off!! :)

  • are you the pilot?

  • Comment removed

  • If this is a boeing 747...why then do I hear Props in the background?? Or what sounds like Props anyway?

  • @ Have you ever taken off on a 744? Its just the purr of a GE!!! My favorite sound

  • These videos make me want to jump on my Flight Sim! But then I can't watch these cool videos....humm Dilema :)

  • wow echt vet cool om dit te zien ;) geniaal

  • @razkkl2nite as long as it's not a cell phone your good.

  • Nice vid :)

  • Where are you from and how long did it take for you to become a pilot?

    im 15 and thinking about becoming a pilot,why im asking.

  • @Callestahl Best way to become a pilot is through the military. I had the same dream since I was 12 but it would become a very expensive doing because of all the ratings you would need. First, you would need your private pilots license, then your instrument rating, twin engine rating, commercial pilots license and ATP. Then you would need to rack the flight time as well. If you became a pilot in the Navy, Air Force, etc. You would need to be a college grad though.

  • hey dude, at what age can I be a 747 pilot? When I flew KLM the first officer was soooo young, 22 years old!

  • what a grat life

  • ben jij zelf piloot lijkt me egt gaaf maar dan wel propjets

  • where were you headed on this specific flight?

  • @djwilson33 Based on the direction of the flight, looks like somewhere to Europe.

  • Hi how do you get the camera to be there?

  • this means having electronic equipment such as camera etc. during flight is actually OK?

  • @majestixblue Yes

  • Now i wanna play Microsoft Flight Simulator !

  • ok im guessing your a pilot , so please can you help me , i want to be a pilot and i am 15 years old , where can i start off as i have definitely got all my GCSE'S and im am going to sit ICT physiology and economics for my a levels. what can i do whilst doing my subjects to get me started to be a pilot. and what qualifications do you need?? thanks

  • @2manreds Hi, there is a multitude of things to learn about flying, the qualifications are Physics, Maths, English, Chemistry, geography..... Note that airlines Vary on requirments. I did not get into the industry via a school. I was an RAF pilot and transfered my lisence over.

    My biggest tip/advice is to simply read up on flying, Ground schooling. There are a multitude of books you can purchase. Learning the ground school things really pays off. This is not the practical exam therefore boring

  • @Jetairwayscaptain thanks for replying and i dont stop reading up on planes and watching how to start them up and all of that stuff and i have all of the subjects u listed for my GCSE's and i got told i require 280 UCAS points to be a pilot. i would go to air cadets but the one near me is full of street 'gangsters' on bail and the police put them there to keep them off the streets not giving a damn about the other people there. My dad is going to start taking me to lessons on a air strip. thanks

  • @2manreds The things you listed are a help, but starting an aircraft engine is not required knowledge. Learning the things about flight are. Rules of the sky, rules on the ground, taxi procedures, t/o procedures, also, remember, no aircraft is alike. Yes a 737 is a 737, but how do you know that it is the same as a 737-300 fully loaded? you see you will learn step by step, take in the basics first, the rest follows. Good luck anyway pls note this is only a basic descrition on what you need

  • @Jetairwayscaptain thanks and i understand what you mean , is there any guides that offer everything you said to learn and understand ? what aircraft should i start looking at first ? and is there any more advice please ?

  • @2manreds do you ? 

  • Hi SuredT

    Thanks for this nice vid.

    To fly at such a wonderful day overhead Frisco .......... wonderful.

    Best wishes from Germany

    Jo

  • Did you ever get to cruising altitude near the end of this video?

  • Ok...I am a dunce here. So what does "rotate" mean before they call gear up?

  • @deetjay1 >>> Rotate, is the call used when the aircraft has reached the airspeed at which it can climb. Upon that call, the pilot will rotate the aircrafts' pitch access, thereby climbing into the sky. I am only a Private Pilot, so I am not sure about this next info, but i know there are 3 calls:V1 (VELOCITY 1) indicating the airspeed at which an abort is still possible, Rotate (indicating take-off airspeed, and V2 (VELOCITY 2) indicating a commitment to the air (airspeed).

  • @deetjay1 rotate is the point in which the aircraft can start to climb, in otherwords rotate the nose up into the desired angle of attack and climbing

  • @Jetairwayscaptain

    Thanks to all who answered my silly question...Flying looks so sweet...I can only imagine how difficult it is to learn...

  • This is a great view of takeoff from the cockpit! This is what the passenger never gets to see while in flight. Nice job!

  • ich hätte totale angst :)

  • i love this amazing i sure wish i was with you guys in the cockpit of this awesome bird SUREDT U ROCK

  • this must be one of the best jobs in the world. Cant imagine how it must feel like flying a aircraft like that. Probably better than sex ^^

  • Thank you for posting this incredible cockpit view of my beautiful home. I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for my entire life. My father worked for TWA from 1945-1985, and I grew up with the airlines in my blood. I fondly recall flying on 747s to London on TWA and to Honolulu on Qantas as a child. Those were such special times, in the glorious days of flying before 9/11/01 changed the experience of commercial flight forever. I wish to someday return to that incomparable feeling.

  • Thanks for posting these cool landings and take offs.

  • An excellent video from the left seat. In 1970 I was with the 6th Army aviation and when we'd fly fixed wing from the south we'd fly west of SFO and the city over the Pacific Ocean side. To approach Crissy Army Air Field at the Presidio we'd have to fly towards the Bay by going between the towers of the GGBridge, then on to Alcatraz, bank 90 to the right to Fishermans Warf, and 90 to right to line up for final approach to the 6,000 foot runway at Crissy Field. Thanks for the memories.

  • nice ;)

  • Mooie takeoff.

  • great video thanks =)

  • hey i got a question. are u flying commercial planes or is this your own private 747 oh and im a huge fan of the 747

  • i fart alot ,can i be a pilot? especially after eating beans or curry!

  • quick question-

    what airline do you fly for?

    also, what is the destination of this flight?

  • @rohaig this is KLM and the destination is Amsterdam Schiphol airport

  • Thank you for the video. I must admit, however, that for the first few seconds, I thought, "Oh no... not another flight simulator software videos"... and then, "No, this is the REAL thing!" :) Great. Always wanted to see such a perspective. Many thanks once again!

  • Great! Thank you. I live in the SF bay area. (:

  • hmm, rotate just as it passed 1L, that's pretty early, my guess is this was a light flight, no?

  • great job very steady!!!smooth takeoff!!!! i love the quality of ur videos and the information!!!but i have a question...what is the rotation speed???

  • Ummmm Ok???? Please restate the question.

  • pls tell me this is fsx

  • @badnat6 Nope, Its a little better then that my friend, it the real thing!

  • @Skym88 then where you got all of there video and there are the same pilots

  • is het moeilijk een 747 te besturen, zonder automatische piloot.

  • Beste baan ter wereld. Tenminste geen 9 tot 5 baan tussen 4 muren.

  • To fly for an Airline company, Like you do, does that require a minimum of your Commercial Pilots license, or your Airline transport license? I thought it was CPL but then I read ATL and then I was a little confused

  • @cossheisnmzenna. As a copilot the minimum is CPL I believe. But a Captain needs an ATPL.

  • @SuredT Both pilots require ATPLs!

  • @Flyingmad2007. You can have a 'frozen' ATPL till you have acquired the necessary flying hours and only then you'll have a 'full' ATPL. So it possible to fly with an Airline without an ATPL. In fact when I started my career I had only CPL but with all theoretical tests passed for ATPL.

  • Comment removed

  • @SuredT so i wanna ask a question if i would wnt to buy a private propeller plane i just need the private plane lisense?

  • @bmwfanz. Yes you need only a PPL

  • @SuredT You don't even need that. All you have to do is have proof that a qualified pilot will fly the A/C to the destination. I know many pilots that bought single engine Props for Flight Training and brought the CFI along so they could build hours on the delivery flight.

  • @bmwfanz

    Yes, you only need a PPL for that. BUT! i really recommend you to take NQ (Night Qualification) so you are allowed to fly in the dark, also i recommend to get a IR (Instrument Rating) So you are allowed to fly in clouds. If you only have a PPL your NOT allowed to fly ether in the dark or in clouds. So then you are really limited of when you can fly doring the day and the weather... But if you also get NQ and IR you can fly anywhere anytime : )

  • GREAT video, taken on an outstanding, clear day in the Bay Area. Thanks for posting!

  • its so cool to see how the sky above turns darker as you climb higher... seems to me, all these stunning views are all worth the hard study to become a pilot... :)

    thanks for sharing this great stuff :)

  • Excellent, 5 *****

  • SuredT, thanks for posting fantastic videos. Do you prefer stick and wheel or joystick control and why?

  • At what height do you engage the auto pilot ?

  • I wanna be a pilot!! Teach me how to fly XD

  • Hi! nice videos!

    I´m really afraid of flying and unfortunately I need to do it constantly. Your videos help me to understand what happens during the flight especially in the takeoff - my greatest scary moment- and see it as a normal and safe procedure.

    Thanks for helping make these moments less scary! =]

  • thanks but,please no commercial by the way type Ethiopian cockpit view and,enjoy my video!

  • thanks but,please no fkn commercial1

  • Wow, this is fantastic.

  • Very Very good video!

    At 6:50 of the video, what is the flight level on this flight?

    Thank you 

  • OMG, I'm so jealous of you. I wish I'm a pilot, too bad I wear glasses because of too much childhood video game time.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing, Please do post more videos, I can't get enough of watching your videos.

  • @dnhyy You can still become a pilot even with glasses, you just need to be tested to make sure your glasses give you 20/20 vision :D That was great news for me too!

  • @XxStalkerxSasquachXx That depends...If it's commercial, than yeah its ok if you use glasses if it gives you 20/20....The military is different, they require 20/20 vision from the naked eye, with no prior surgery....kinda sucked for me since I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the Air force :/

  • you are the luckiest guy i know. Flying fucking 747s all over the world and then putting the videos on youtube. I'm jealous.

  • why dont just turn right after take off? you go far then turn right.. i just want to know the answer im just curious about it is their a rules..? im sorry just a fan of your landing and takeoff videos

  • @keichan22 One, you're at the mercy of the departure controller, who may be vectoring you for traffic avoidance or some other reason. But, the main reason is commerical planes flying IFR usually fly published approach and departure patterns that are set up for traffic flow or terrain avoidance, etc...

  • Wow Amazing...

  • Comment removed

  • is flying anything like flight simulator... more difficult or easier

  • @MrAaront703 That makes no sense but if you are asking if simulators are easier then the answer is hell yes.But if your asking if simulators can help you and teach you too fly then yes.

  • you can see tanforan !

    this plane shudve dropped a bomb in dalycity

  • woah when u made a right turn i though those clouds where drawings

  • I have always wondered with pilots, how soon usually after takeoff do you set the autopilot? Because in the video, if i heard right, i can hear someone say autopilot a short while after takeoff.

  • @Swimfast37 it depends on the pilot. Some pilots like to fly manually to cruising altitude, others turn on auto-pilot earlier after take off.

  • my god , my dream is to be in that seat one day =]

  • Beautiful video :)

  • captain, when exactly do you know that the takeoff power is set? I thought they take a while to spool up.

  • Cool to see SFO from the cockpit for a change, thanks for uploading!

  • No don't leave. Your going to miss the PRIDE parade.

  • Very nice video!  RESPECT!

  • im sorry i just have t know.. is hand flying the 747 as easy as they say it is?

  • @TheMicwasherChannel If you know how to fly, then the 747 is rocksteady and easy to handle straight and level in the air. But as in every aircraft you need practice to fly precise when changing speed and or configuration.

  • Thanks again SureT.

    The sound from the cockpit alone makes these video's wonderful to watch.

  • Thanks again SuredT.

    The sound from the cockpit alone makes these video's wonderful to watch.

  • @TheMicwasherChannel from what i hear, the bigger the plane the "easier" it is.......because it doesn't get rocked as easily by wind n such...

  • An amazing video, thank you for posting it!

  • How come you didnt announce V2?

  • I really appreciate these videos for their quality and the information you provide. I am so annoyed that we as airline passengers never get to experience what is really happening, and most passengers seem unaware or too cool to care. We only get a side view of a jet's movements through a tiny window which is frustrating. I wish they would provide a cockpit view on a monitor in the cabin so I could pretend I'm doing the flying.

  • @STColeridge22 haha yes, that would be nice!

  • @STColeridge22 If there were a monitor, everything you would see is two people drinking coffee, and pushing switches.

  • WOW! Thanks!

  • what was the destination of the flight?

  • What a SID did you use?

  • I noticed that you don't announce V2. Is that just KLM standard procedure?

  • Although I am now in my mid 50s, I started my career as a pilot and flew for about 10 years. The last plane I flew was a Cessna Citation and I had to change jobs mostly because of medical problems. I haven't flown since. Your videos are excellent and you take the time to explain as if we were in the cockpit with you. Very VERY good!! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of something that we would never get to see!

    KEEP IT UP!!!!

  • what is your profession?

    are you pilot or airplane technician

  • what airline do u work for?

  • WAT AIRLINE

  • What a wonderful job you have. Thanks for sharing.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a question for you SuredT, do you get an adrenaline rush while flying, especially when going down the runway to takeoff? As a passenger, I had such a rush, it felt like nothing on this earth lol. Also to anyone who loves rollercoasters, and has never been in a plane before, I highly recommend it! It's such an awesome feeling! :)

  • whats the rotation speed on a heavy weight ?

  • on which angle do you pull up for takeoff?

  • @doubleBdasher when the plane is rotating, they do not pull beyond 10 degrees, otherwise the tail will hit the runway. Once they are airborne, the nose may go up to just around 20 degrees.

  • i love your "blue nose" videos. you are the f****** number one!!!!!! 

  • Пиздато!!!

  • I love your vids!

  • nice vídeo!!!

  • Great video!! Where was that flight going to?

  • Always love to watch takeoffs and landings from the cockpit!

  • god, that's so badass.

  • greetings Captain! one quick question: when is positive rate determined? I thought that it is determined once the aircraft passes the runway like shown in some videos, but in some videos, like this one, the gear up call(which comes after pos. rate) comes before the 747 pases over the runway. Is there some sort of speed or height at which positive rate/climb is determined? Great video anyways!

  • @ie210 positive rate is called when the first officer observes a climb rate of over 500 ft per minute on his vertical speed indicator.

  • Where did you learn to fly?

  • @FSXAce123 at flight school....obviously

  • @ToInfinity1 Yep, brilliant answer, I actually meant which flying school? Idiot

  • Comment removed

  • @FSXAce123 It's definitely some flight school in Netherlands. Why not you just go get a KLM ticket and break into his cockpit and ask him if you really wanted to know the exact location! MORON

  • @ToInfinity1 How do you know it's in the Netherlands, I'm from Enland and I want to go to a flight school in Spain... Why not just not reply to my comments and mind your own business! 'MORON'

  • is it right that you do first 40% advance before doing 95%?

    Sorry for bad english^^

  • @ebksb123 We advance throttles manually to about 40% and then push the A/T engage levers. A/T then advances throttles to 100-105% depending weight of aircraft and length of runway.

  • @SuredT so you always fly with A/T on besides when landing?

  • @SuredT hey i live in the bay and i wanna be a pilot. where can i star?

  • @SuredT Why do the engines need to be stabilised at 40% first?

  • @SuredT Wow, I didn't know you can takeoff on A/T. Is this to avoid 105% for

    longer engine life or less maintenance cost, or is it a protocol?

  • hi, im using PMDG 747 to fsx and i have gotten really good at flying and controlling it, but i wonder one thing, what is the tecnical explenation of a BUS? "Bus tie", Utiliity Bus and so on... sorry my english:)

  • You really have great videos man..Greetings from Miami

  • Beautiful aircraft :)

    I would like to become a pilot of B747.

    This is my dream.

  • Is this microsoft flight sim?

  • @PAULJETS75 lol its real

  • thank you for all viedeos!!! Is it KLM???

  • loud thud would be the landing gear retracting into place

  • Great clip!

  • Thank u for all ur videos, sir.

  • I think it's the same plane and pilot who took a video while approaching JFK airport.

  • I wish went into aviation. Fuck architecture.

  • @MisterMcKinney

    Why don't you go into constructing planes?

  • great video!!

  • wat een gave films zijn dit ga zo door

    groeten van emiel

  • Je vids zijn echt tof man! 5*

  • It's funny how on the videos it doesn't seem like you're going very fast. I remember taking the cruise around the bay and going under the bridge thinking how HUGE it was, then from this plane it's so TINY hehe :D

  • awesome view

  • The beginning looks exactly like Flight Simulator!

    Thats awesome!

  • Where were you flying to in this video?

  • @Blakey7612 Must be to AMS.

  • this is addicting... we want more videos:D

  • so nice to see my home from above. thanks for posting this great vid!

  • Superb!!

  • KLM ??

  • excellent clip!! thanks for putting it up. I can never get enough of these

  • Magnificos sus videos. Si me permite una sugerencia, creo que usted podria hacerlo y seria muy interesante, mostrar todo un vuelo en timelapse (para que quepa en el video ) aunque el despegue y el aterrizaje yo lo pondria a velocidad normal.

    Gracias y un saludo.
