Southwest 1156: Las Vegas - Denver

[emymares]

i like take offs much more than landings cause landing means the adventure is over

[kambridge967]

@emymares true

[francescorossetto]

fantastic!!!=)

[dylanhelmer]

i have a buddy who flew a 737-300 also and got it down to touchdown about 115 knots crazy shit but it was a deliver aircraft and landed on a short runway, as long as full flaps and low fuel and low weight, its good.

[umahuma4]

yeah, you can touch it down all the way to stall speed if you want.

[yenal91]

wahnsinn so viel schnee ist ya wie in einer schneewelt

[FSXdirector]

Nice

[Kisaragi4e]

Dependent upon weight and temp, VR is probably around 140 to 160

[mutanator]

dang thats weird it goes from being a hot desert environment to a cold snowy one!

[thefsxflyer]

Actually Colorado can be very very hot. In the summber it can get to 105F

[benjamincundari]

HOW FAST DO THEY GO WHEN THEY TAKE OFF?

[LufthansaFlightSim]

Depending on the plane, anywhere from about 150 to 180 kts

[umahuma4]

crusing speed around 260 to 270 knots, an landing speed around 120 to 130 knots

[winningfreak01]

depends on the plane and weight really, a 737 hits at about 140 a 747 hits around 120 and a 787 hits at around 135

[dylanhelmer]

you mean more like 310-320 knots. thats what I fly at, really depends on what you fly, like me, im a first officer on a 737-300. we cruise 310-320, depending on if we needa hurry and make time.

[umahuma4]

well, it depends on the cruise altitude also doesnt it? I made this comment 9 months ago, so i think i was wrong about the landing speed

[dylanhelmer]

well all 737-300,400,500 cruise about 310, dont ever really try to overspeed it though. keepin it in that area, 270 though, thats a little to slow, unless your wayyyyy ahead on time and u ned to slow down the flight then maybe 280 290.

[SenorSpode]

Cruising speed 260-270 knots IAS (indicated air speed); at ground, 260-270 is still 260-270 GS (ground speed), but at 30-40,000 that same 260-270 can be anywhere from 400-450 knots GS, depending on the jetstream. Many people don't understand that, but I'm sure you do.

[umahuma4]

well at FL300 its about 300 indicated, decreasing by 5 knots IAS per 1,000 up from FL300, but you still maintain about 440-450 knots GS. So you dont really slow down any.

[dylanhelmer]

@SenorSpode and depending on if u got a good tailwind:D now if u do, thats a good flight

[SenorSpode]

Especially if any flights before that were tedious and you just wanna get home!

[chanm910]

That blizzard was something else man, I live in Thornton an it was absolutely horrible for even 2 months afterwards. it was rediculious.

nice video btw, great job!

[skylimitone]

Excellent landing.

[SWA1453]

Agreed

[l337Jeff]

It's against the law really, just be glad that people got away with it so that we can now enjoy the videos.

[futilityroom]

I never had a problem with camcorder usage on my recent Liverpool-Paris-Liverpool flight...I think it`s because camcorders do not transmit signals.

[SkinnyPimpYYZ]

hey im not sure what about this question but dont they tell u to turn off electronic devices before takeoff and landing, tell me how u get away with this cause i wanna film this kind of thing also,comment back please

[pilotnicco]

you just do it, no one really cares

[krispykreme82603]

not really...you had to cross utah and half of colorado

[krispykreme82603]

i flew SWA flight 1156 back in february...i see ive commented earlier...it was cool to fly from someplace rather warm to a freezing cold mountain of snow

[chris627]

Nice!

I flew out of Denver on January 5th, in the evening. :)

[pochothepilot]

Cool me too. The trip was actually a daytrip to DEN. Spent the day there and flew right back in the evening to SAN via LAS, again on Southwest.

[XxGr8tLaughxX]

@pochothepilot I do the same thing I love to fly! On Feb 22nd I'm flying from Phoenix to Denver, spend a couple of hrs in Denver and then jet back to Phoenix w/ a connection in Vegas. Denver airport is the best, i love their bars in the terminal. Subbed!

[ERAUPRCWA]

Southwest 7377s are the best

[krispykreme82603]

i get to take this flight in a little under 4 weeks
