Kenya Airways B777-200ER - Cockpit Video - Flightdeck Action - Flights In The Cockpit

[vinsterful]

thank you vikingaviationphoto for giving me a taste of what goes on in the cockpit . By the way i am going to become a pilot hopefully

[basimpsn]

Bigup

[nighttrain334]

Nice vid bro!!

[pocopocoenjuegosdan]

i wanna be a pilot just saying

[civilman203]

cool

[fsxlover]

I didn't know Wanda Sykes worked for Kenya airways...

[xxquiker]

261 mph at 39,0000? thats very odd

[CX135pilot]

@xxquiker it's 261 knots

[houshidar558]

@xxquiker no that's 261 knots but that's not accurate what you see there is IAS (indicated air speed) as the plane climb it gets less and less because the air is very thin at 39,000 feet indicated air speed is used for sea level, if you notice on the bottom of the screen where it says ( 84.0 ) that's the planes mach speed witch is the speed used a t that altitude so the plane is going over 550MPH

[N0rM3lz]

great video

[Tierren32]

Love the video ! To bad Kenya Airways does not fly to Atlanta, Ga

[Gilmar2134]

Very good!! nice video!! congratulations!!

[armbender777]

Does anyone know that name of this song.. The narrator of this video told me he does not know the name of this song he used to produce this video..

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@armbender777 Again, it is written in the credit section of the DVD. Look at the end of the DVD and you'll find the composer's name.

[LongDrivesAtNight]

I flew on Kenya Airways from Lusaka Zambia to Nairobi in 1982. I was just a child then and the pilots let myself and my bro come into the cockpit to see what goes on. We were flying over Mt. Kilimanjaro when we had to return to our seats because they were preparing for landing. They were so kind...the entire crew were so kind. I guess nowadays with all the security issues, no one gets into the cockpit. Would love to fly KA again from Canada back to Kenya...miss Kenya alot!!

[andrewhurricane]

@oliverjumelle the route is from London to Nairobi

[ajoutram]

right lads, now that you have seen the dvd, go fly some planes.

[sevenstrong3]

I love how it cuts out right before the best part of the landing im an alien

[oliverjumelle]

whats the route?

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@oliverjumelle On the DVD we join KQ for a return flight Nairobi to London Heathrow and return to Nairobi. (NBO-LHR-NBO)

[LopezGun]

Yeah i was flying with Kenya in 2010,good service,cute stewardes. I think this is the most progressive airlines in Africa

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@armbender777 Same goes for this one. As soon as the DVD is released that information is tucked away in the files and the work begins for the next cockpit DVD. Best advice is to watch the actual DVD and wait for the credits, the name of the composer is listed there. Happy to hear you like it.

[kenyajin]

I am proud of the Kenya airways crew and equipment. WE JUST NEED TO SPRUCE UP nbo aka Jomo kenyatta int airport! Bole at Addis is a far much modern than JKIA and that's a challenge.

Kenya should learn from Ethiopia. I recently flew on their 777 ET-ANN and ET-ANO from Dulles to Addis and Back and I loved the experience!

[iwannaplaycs]

Great video! How do you get such extensive access to film the various airlines' crew briefings, procedures, cockpits, external inspections, etc.?

[mastrilho]

Du carai ;]

[chadberry75]

whats the service like?...rude or friendly?...

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@chadberry75 Very friendly!

[duyan2211]

Great video. I like Kenya Airways

[blacklightning98]

I'm flippin proud of how Africa has advanced over the years >:3

[9gent]

why the hell didnt they show the landing ????

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@9gent Well, this is a trailer you know....

[FlightSimXflyer]

@9gent It's real annoying!!

[9gent]

@FlightSimXflyer ik

[leathermodelcuir]

@9gent Because you need to buy the DVD, they didn't just do it for charity you know

[9gent]

@leathermodelcuir well they should thats stupid

[Igberunrun]

I am amused when GA pilots critisize pilots flying at the highest level.

[armbender777]

this video is a class act.. and representation

[armbender777]

really nice video.. i enjoyed watching it.. can u pls tell me the name of the song this video started out with.. thx

[shanetk00]

Winds North westerly direction, 254@54? You mean South westerly?

[aleki2424]

Having personally flown on this plane, and with some of the crew, I can only say a big kudos to you all. Great service and an amazing flight. Good to know we have our own skillfull homegrown people in command as well.

[GBraidi78]

Beautiful plane and Airline!! Kudos to Kenya!!

[TheAviationfreack]

i knw from the nav screen that the plane was over greece precisely over athens and exactly over elefterios veneselos airport (LGAV) hahaha

[jorgen1990]

Why if the True Air Speed is 480 the PFD shows 260?

[TandSStudios1]

@jorgen1990 its a different type of airspeed i for get what its called but they have that type of airpseed shown for pilots because its easier for pilots to set the speed of the plane to one speed that way. Im not an expert but i think thats why

[engineer1able]

@jorgen1990 the PFD displays indicated airspeed which does not account for changes air density. At sea level it is the same as the true airspeed, but as the altitude increases and air becomes thinner, indicated airspeed becomes lower in respect to true airspeed. Here the plane is at 39,000 feet, at this altitude there is a big spread between the true and indicated airspeeds

[mimana2]

Nice video.  Go Kenya!

[nyumbayamumbi]

Awesome video, you manged to chat with the FO before the flight, good job and bravo KQ and all pilots especially the FO. KQ is the pride of Africa.

[spekiion]

Very nice!

[Michaelc136]

My brothers:)

[bipap1000]

very nice video. Thanks

[FAC207]

its funny am kenyan and i have used most airlines, except Kenyan airways 

[pacrat90]

I'm a little bit racist.. coming from my south african background it's hard not to be. But people must realize that there's no difference whether your pilot is black or white; regardless they are still highly trained professionals especially if they're flying the apex of commercial aviation - a 777 in a major airline.

[11esky]

5:02 they should move the HEADING to the correct FMC point (the pink one)

[TJace50]

@11esky Its called ATC directed them away from their planned approach. (which happens in most cases; different runway maybe

[FSXProductions100]

@11esky Actually because they were given vectors to final for the runway by ATC and also using V/S.

Thanks,

Alex.

[11esky]

without the land this video means nothing

just showin approach :P

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@11esky The DVD shows the complete takeoff and landings. This is just a trailer you know...

[HKS134]

at 5:02 why they dont follow the route? the pink one

[pilotnicco]

@HKS134 It's because when they fly, they have to show off there swag.

[chemerich]

Very informative video. I really appreciated that the crew took the time to explain what they were doing. It's very rare to see that.

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@chemerich Yes, the Kenya Airways crews were lovely to work with. Very friendly and informative!

[KKopiev]

I'd fly with them, definately

[sashman3988]

lol there all white like me

[JohnnyEMatos]

What do you call an african driving a plane?

- A pilot

[BettinaFromBrazil]

i'd rather fly with kenya airways than any other american airline.

And it's good to see black crew, though I'm a white woman, studying to be a commercial pilot and theres also prejudice against pilot women

[itinariaguku]

went to school with this guy way to go juma

[campc1]

I wanted to see the landing. But, the rest was superb.

[MultiSurvivor93]

EXCELLENT VIDEO



[robichelo]

we have a good pilots in africa

[TurkHavaYollari1]

Verry nice Kenya Airwayse

[zonkozonko]

A few years back I asked my son to order a "Tusker Baridi" as a test of his Kiswahili language (OK I Thought I would get one extra). The lady gave him a ticking off saying he must be 21 before he orders a beer and even then he must be sensible about it! Those words still are in his ears today. He does not have any interest in alcohol Thank you Kenya Airways.

[playasonline]

YOU really are pride and joy! As an African first, and aspiring pilot second; I find having black pilots flying great aircrafts such as the 777, a reason to keep fighting to make my dream come true and maybe one day be on one of these awesome videos. Happy landings fellows!

[camafrik]

Thank you to share this great video : so nice !!! THX

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

I rather fly Kenya Airways any day 24/7 over American Airlines, better service, safer, faster, not treated like an terrorist by the crew, newer fleet, cleaner aircraft.

[jalil714]

the price is to expensive!

[scoobs747]

anyone else notice that 254 is not north westerly but south westerly... little worrying :P

[wmoltke]

chicken or meat?????

[magellanmax]

I could sit here and watch videos like this one for hours and not even notice the time.

[sid77777]

no landing/takeoffs shown....but still a nice video man.

[87strat]

Really Enjoyed this. What are the prospects for flying with this Airline as a foreginer?

[ottoramsaig]

Very well done, also from an American. 

[samueltanjk]

Not bad!

[dondycluck]

The Pilots Looks Young For Flying The 777

[dewey911]

@dondycluck because they dont have crazy competition for pilots seat in kenya they probably go straight onto the 777 after doing CPL

[dondycluck]

@dewey911 oG i UNDERSTAND NOw thanks

[kenyajin]

@dewey911 wrong! There are so many planes and pilots in kenya, just go to Wilson Airport and see how busy it is! Almost every 45 seconds a plane is landing or taking off, and these are from 172's all the way to Dashes and Fokkers and Citations etc. Just like anywhere in the world you have to earn your seat on the larger mordern equipment, there is no shortcut. African Aviation is par with the rest of the world. See Ethiopian, SAA or KQ and you will see a glimpse of what is happening!

[kenyajin]

@dondycluck . maybe by American standards they are too young for 777, but in kenya, the cockppit politics aren't as bad as they are in other airlines. I have know cases in the US where pilots with thousands of hours and possesion of types and ratings etc and still position/pay and advancenment opportunities are limited. see the ny times article "Pilots’ Lives Defy Glamorous Stereotype".In Africa pilots are compensated very well! And in turn they quickly build up the hours/skills needed to go up

[cmuasya]

i was wondering about that too an not a pilot but 254deg should b south westerly

[210482fmj]

@cmuasya maybe it was something to do with the true and magnetic directions. maybe that display is not entirely accurate but if its based on co-ordiantes i would of thougt it woudl be very precise. perhaps there is more to it than what is displayed on that screen

[raphy1123]

@210482fmj nope just a slight error from the first officer, happens quite often to mess this up when you have a needle showing the wind direction relative to the aircraft, and a magnetic direction relative to the magnetic north.

[raphy1123]

@cmuasya he meant from a southern westerly direction a tiny mistake he made. Confused probably by the arrow showing the wind direction relative to the aircraft.

[ottoramsaig]

@raphy1123 I am confused. If he is reading it and following the needle point to the North West at 254 Degrees, wouldn't that mean it was coming from the south east? Good observation by the way, thanks.

[raphy1123]

@ottoramsaig wind direction is given from where the wind is blowing.

The needle is showing the direction the wind is going(the heading) which is 254°-180°= 74°. the plane is flying on heading of 138°, so the wind is coming from the right at an angle of 116°(4 o'clock position) and is blowing away to the left at an angle of 64°(10 o'clock position) to the aircraft's trajectory. So the wind is coming from the S-W and is going to the N-E and the plane is flying to the S-E. It's as simple as that :D

[TheGrossAnk]

Great video! I would love to fly with the friendly people of Kenya.

[timmydeinum]

wind is 254 is that NW i dont now where the guy went to school haha

[deetjay1]

Wow! Professionalism, defined. A poor country with many problems. The willingness to work hard is NOT one of those...

[Jasonjaggy]

This is a beautiful aircraft. Loved this video.

[kimseongkon]

good

[Gokidd2008]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I would like to purchase the DVD as well. Can you post the link please Iam in the USA.

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@Gokidd2008

The DVD is available here in our webshop.

see link in the description of the video.

[trainfreak7745]

@VikingAviationPhoto great video from an american

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@trainfreak7745 Happy to hear you like it, but we're a Swedish production company :-)

[trainfreak7745]

@VikingAviationPhoto HEy great video but what is the music at the very beginning like from the start

[KLMPilot03]

Very nice vid! Thanks for sharing!

[kaffdenge]

I actually build the 777. Right now we build the 300-ER( extended range) From my perspective as a mechanic and a pilot its good to see what we build serving my fellow kenyans.

[birminghamcity123]

I went on Kenya Airways from PAris to Nairobi...nice flight. Gotta say the staff are friendly.

[heffron91]

Love the 777! KQ is coming into Amsterdam everyday at about 4PM with the 777 (sometimes 767) and I love the colorscheme :)

[cndam]

received it a week ago. excellent DVD. worth the money. very professional airline. Great video work!

[woodfern909]

Very informative video!

[kenyan114]

kenya airways we got 777's wow am shocked

[jorungu]

@kenyan114 KQ have an order with boeing for delivery of I think 12 Freamliners... however there has been a manufacturer's delay

[kenyajin]

@kenyan114 why are you shocked? KQ was the first country in the world to operate the 777-200 or 737-800 i forget which. KQ has a strong relationship with Boeing and ... Also KQ is the second and one of the only 2 with a crew to do C inspections on these planes in Africa, and will soon be equipped to do D checks. Yes kenya BABY!

[renoi973]

j'adore



[Michael55443]

Nice livery on the plane.

[AbbassHussein]

I find Kenyans speak English which EVERYONE can understand. They do not have some funny accent.

[Slaterator]

Realy awesome ! Very good work !

[solomonpilot767]

very nice clip!

[kenyajin]

@solomonpilot767  Kamere?

[eduardonpimenta]

One person pressed the "dislike" button by mistake.

[5129568]

please put up more videos please thank you.

[cinkmoot]

@5129568

Its a preview so we can buy it. I'm ordering mine right now.

[omnia762]

Amazing Video, Very Informative! :)

5 Stars!

[CA477544]

The first officer has a nice watch.

[TheExpress666]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO....I love it...

[dave4shmups]

Looks great! But do you guys have this DVD in NTSC format? Because I'd love to order it, but I live in the USA.

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@dave4shmups

Hi,

Yes, it is available in NTSC in our webshop.

[rcg8006]

@VikingAviationPhoto i like your video....grettings from Mexico :)

[CockpitpilotB737]

skyteam

[kimmwai]

Not bad. You should add more videos of the 767 and the 737 with takeoff and landing procedures. It would be fun to watch. There is a KQ DVD but not accessible to public. It would be nice if aspiring pilots could watch them on youtube.

[rubanikq2]

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for the video- Flying is my passion and that video just boosted my motivation- I can't wait to get my wings and hopefully, will soon fly for KQ!!!!!!!

[anadamayi]

Nice video! I am really proud of Kenyan Airways!!

[scuzz999]

Top video +++++

[bigwill619]

not trying to be racist but its about time to see a video with black people as the pilot and crew

[kenyajin]

@bigwill619 Huh? been doing this for almost 40 years in East Africa.

[solomonpilot767]

@bigwill619 well thanks,kenyan air ways is great Air Line.as well Ethiopian we do all our maint work in ADDIS Ababa which is the capital of Ethiopia such as c and,D check most African pilot have there own black pilots when able check my vid jst type Ethiopian cockpit view!

[kenyajin]

@solomonpilot767 I just flew ET- ANN from washington to Bole, then ET- ANO back to Dulles! i loved the experience. ET is definitely a great airline!

[solomonpilot767]

@kenyajin thank u,one of these days i want 2 visit kenya!

[Axmedkoole]

@bigwill619, well it is not that there are no black pilots, it is that some people don't have the passion to post videos like others. I lived in Africa, and traveled in every region and every pilot that flown us were all local pilots. Every major airline in Africa is flown by local pilots, I also traveled to Southeast Asia where I saw most of their pilots to come from North America or Europe. Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore.

[Triple777ER]

This is fantastic! I love to watch such under-appreciated airlines in operation. It really goes to see how much professionalism there is. Thanks for much for the upload.

[magellanmax]

Very impressive! Kenya Airways is not one of the best airlines in the world by accident. They pay attention to detail. Their partnership with KLM has paid dividends in a big way. Keep up the good work guys, makes me proud to be Kenyan.

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@magellanmax

Thank you. Indeed Kenya is a great airline to fly and work with.

[DetEJagDe]

Gör du de här filmerna själv Tommy?

[VikingAviationPhoto]

@DetEJagDe

Japp, filmar, klipper, och producerar allt.

[DetEJagDe]

@VikingAviationPhoto Oj, då är du verkligen duktig må jag säga!

[Dutchbird757]
