KLM Boeing 747 take off Hong Kong cockpit view

[sampintilie9]

I like it !

[jonstewartforprez]

@mycomputersucks1993 @Dominoes911 Also, spooling up engines reduces wear and stress on the engines. Applying maximum thrust immediately after the engines are in idle leads to fuel loss, and some considerable damage that not only shortens the engines' lifetime, but could also lead to potential problems in flight. Again, spooling the engines' up prevents, or at least curbs, these problems.

[jonstewartforprez]

@mycomputersucks1993 @Dominoes911 We spool up the engines at about half throttle to make sure that the engine is stabilized. There are a lot of things that can go wrong when it comes to jet engines and airplanes. One concern is that at high power, the engine vibrations can be so strong that it can cause significant damage to wings/aircraft. Spooling them up before applying maximum thrust is just one way that you can make sure engine vibrations are in check.

[RnnBeatz]

I'd love to fly this aircraft! He flies the aircraft well. :)

[henry1989]

that's a 747-800 :o

[flypilot70]

V1 Rotate Gear Up; Now down to business!

[SceneOneVideo]

Strange...the acting Co-Pilot never called out V1, V2, etc....

[stebyh]

@SceneOneVideo Yes he did..... I heard 100.... V1.... rotate.... gear up... he didn`t say V2, but I clearly heard V1

[engineblock1]

@SceneOneVideo 1:29 he says V1 and 1:36 he says rotate

[Dominoes911]

@futurepilot95 Yeah but if they do slam it into full power can't they just slam it back to no power, or reverse thrust?

[Battygad]

@Dominoes911 Well I don't fly this kind of aircraft yet, but for the ones I am familiar with we apply power smoothly simply because it's more comfortable for the people and isn't rough on the plane.

[weeminnie]

@Battygad LOL

[jonstewartforprez]

@Battygad That might be true, but if you want to join the 747 pilots' club, you'll have to start following procedures like these gentlemen did! Applying power smoothly for the comfort of passengers might backfire in the end if you run out of runway space. With an international flight and fuel tanks and cargo loaded to nearly 90-100% of maximum allowed weight, you need to apply full thrust since the near beginning of the runway to ensure proper speeds near the end for take off

[mycomputersucks1993]

@Dominoes911 Well, I don't think it's possible, if they apply full throttle they will probably gonna reach V1 (velocity 1) so fast, and if a problem comes then, by the time they realize aircraft has a problem they would have probably reached V1 so they are not going to be abble to go back, this is because it will take a lot of time and distance to stop the plane and runways aren't large enough (I hope its clear enough, I'm not pretty good at english)

[Dominoes911]

Why do pilots slowly push the throttle, why don't they slam the engines into full power?

[futurepilot95]

@Dominoes911 because then they'll blow up.. kidding, no the reason that they do take it easy is because they want to make sure that the aircraft can handle the amount of power. if there would be an error, and the pilots would immediately apply full take-off power they would probably blow up, while when they take it slow, they would notice something is wrong in time, before they applied full power, giving them enought time to shut them down and keeping them from blowing up.. answered? cheers mate

[batmanh20]

@Dominoes911 I think its because the plane might do a wheelie :P

[karlbbb]

@Dominoes911 Just as a side note, the pilot didn't push the throttles up to full power, he does the first bit of power application at 0:47 (you can hear the engines increase), checks they are all stabilised, then at 0:51 you can hear the click and see his hand movement; he applies TOGA, you can see TOGA mode activated on the FO's PFD, and from then on he is just resting his hands on the throttle as the Auto-Throttle spools the engines up to calculated take-off thrust.

[diegocastrocalvo]

how did you do to enter in the cockpit of the airplane?

[hermancm]

@diegocastrocalvo He most likely got in through the hatch....?

[AqwWarf]

lol if that is a 747 cockpit im laughing hard thats THE SMALLEST COCKPIT EVER

[Bkeytx]

Nice

[tburden09]

Wish i could be in the cockpit and film that

[s9360321]

no offense, but it's a freighter plane. @0:23, look at the air condition panel, it's freighter type panel which differs from what the passenger or combi planes use; besides, the aircraft lined up via the cargo apron side(K, K1 Taxiway). that's pretty clear this plane is a freighter!

(i'm a 747 FO, my company operates both 400Fs, 400PAXs)

[bodochecker]

i heared the rotate, who else?

[654321825]

Either your camera is really good, or KLM does a very good job of keeping their aircraft looking like new!

[antidiz]

Damn, honk the horn!

Happy 2012 desde España de la pintora de la alegría

[bhs117]

why did u stop recording ?

[blackshot1941]

ikool



[speculous]

@crawlcraft No offense intended, but why do you say this is a pax flight. When the aircraft enters the runway from the cargo side of VHHH, and KL175 (the card on the F/O's side) is a cargo flight #?

[a090006]

As a passenger the sound off the engines getting full power for take off frighntens me every time,for you pilots its the most comon thing to do ,as you can see how relax pilots are

[StarTrekRocks100]

Dude, sorry but there are a lot of things wrong with that statement. First, there are a lot of things to do before even punching the thrust levers. And it's not a steering whee, it's a yoke. And it's definitely noticeable here.

[sabhierules1]

i'm just a teen and all i know about taking off a plane is that you speed up and tilt the nose up by pulling the steering wheel to yourself...you barely notice them doing it...

[modykhan1805]

Is ground speed for the jet liners like 747 and 787 is 180 to 200 Knots?

[xaamp]

@modykhan1805 Depends in wich phase of the flight, if you are talking on the approach i think 170 180 kts.

[FSXreality]

@modykhan1805 As 'xaamp' said, it depends on phase of flight. It varies so much because of weight, wind, altitude, temperature, etc... but basically, a 747 takes off around 165, lands about 150 and cruises around 500 ground speed, not indicated, because indicated airspeed is lower at altitude. However, a very heavy, high take-off could be 190 (!) or landing could be 135! Cruising, with wind, could even be 530 or as low as 460. Enjoy my channel for professional 747 videos.

[flowmp]

Amazing, Flight the queen is a REAL MAN'S JOB!!!!

[DreamToBeAPilot]

The main pilot has wife xDDDD

Just kidding, nice video I like it xD

[Zyvex10]

American Made!

[tempak332]

Wow the captain looks like Bashar AL Assad with his moustache as well.

BTW. Great video.

[MRgamefreak236]

best goede video maar het kan ook in een simulator zijn

[dutchbhproduction]

@MRgamefreak236 of je bent blind, of je weet het verschil niet tussen een simulator en real life.

[sid77777]

time waste. whole video is the runway roll.

[NBOC777]

@TheDutchWings Ik hjeb even gekeken, maar Peter Hartman is gezwicht. Ik las dat in een stukje in de Telegraaf op internet. Dat betekent, dat wij dus ook gaan kopen. Inderdaad. Wat kunnen wij FSX-ers toch goed de toekomst voorspellen. Nu gaan ze ook over naar de Embrear 170. Of de directie gebruikt in hun computers ook de FSX, wanneer ze niets te doen hebben. LOL. Je hebt idd. gelijk, mijn excuus.

[KLMTRANSAVIA]

KLM doesn't have an MCP with digital digits and a single screen for the standbyinstruments on the passenger flights, only the cargo version.

[ThePrins777]

Ik denk dat de KLM toch maar eens de A380 moeten gaan aanschaffen.

[TheDutchWings]

@ThePrins777 ze hebben er al een paar op bestelling staan hoor :)

[NBOC777]

@TheDutchWings Ik heb gehoord van de directeur die over de vliegtuigen gaat, dat ze wel interesse hadden in de A350-1000 en de B787-800's, maar dat de A380 te groot is voor de KLM. Ik weet het niet, maar hij zei.....De A380 komt er niet in. Wel de B777-300ER en de Boeing 777-200er en de A330-200 en waarschijnlijk de 300 ook, maar dan gaan ze over op de nieuwe broertjes. Dat hadden ze overigens na het contract van 9 A330-200's al besloten.

[TheDutchWings]

@NBOC777 Als het van de directeur zelf komt geloof ik hem :P maar zeker awsome dat ze interesse hebben in de A350 en B787!!

[Diartoo]

@NBOC777 Waarom dat gegis? Er is een besluit genomen + bestelling geplaast: 25x 787-900 voor KLM, 25x A350-900 voor Air France. Nadrukkelijk gezegd door Dhr. Hartman dat de A380 aléén voor Air France is.

[Diartoo]

@TheDutchWings

Niet dus

[TheDutchWings]

@Diartoo ? lees ale reacties naar mij gericht en je zult er achter komen dat jouw comment 100% nutteloos is -,-

[puran697]

Nice video i would like to be the same as you guyes.

[smacman68]

What's that switch do on the middle left of the overhead? mmm...

[bombcat91]

@smacman68 Netherland made auto-destruction switch

[samwong92]

In addition, at 0:38 u can clearly see the flight number in front of the co-pilot seat is KL 175

KL 175 is a cargo flight

[samwong92]

obviously its not a passenger plane, its taxing from the cargo area

if it's a passenger flight it should be taxi from the opposite side

[smoothyarra1]

best job in the world

[MfaraazH]

thanks for clearing that out...

[CommissarASSHOLE]

I thought that airline pilots wear headsets so that they may hear ATC. Guess not then?

[MfaraazH]

dude look at the vdo again, he has one side off so he can listen to the crew who helps him, for example when the plane speed is perfect for the lift the co-pilot say V1 and the captain pulls on the stick, then he says positive rate, and the pilot pulls the landing gears up... as the captain cant see all the instruements and fly the plane, he gets help and thus he has only one ear on the headfone... i think that answers it

[huracan200173]

@MfaraazH actually V1 is not the point of rotation (in some planes could be the same, like some 737 versions, but not this case). V1 is the speed at were you're committed to flight, even though you loose one engine, you need to take off. Then the "rotation" call out comes, and the PC pulls the stick... and just after that the V2 call comes, that's the speed at were you can "safely" loose an engine (in twin engines airplanes).

[MultiJoao10000]

vocês entendem o que eu falo!

[AirbusA380rox]

@MultiJoao10000 sim, porque eu sou português!!!!

[azmirsanazmirsan]

All the electronic devices must be switched off during take off and landing. hehe

[ioannis21shum]

Nice vid, why didn't you keep filming after the takeoff?

[Waddeck43]

when i grow up i want to have a mustache just like the captain has in this video

[crawlcraft]

@kansai: nope, it is a passenger flight filmed by a friend of mine who was in training

[heffron91]

@crawlcraft are you sure? Reg says PH-CKA i think. Only KLM's cargo 747s have those updated TFT screens, digital MCP digits and Integrated standby instrument. Also KLM175 is a cargo callsign for AMS-ALA-HKG ;)

[heffron91]

@crawlcraft are you sure? Reg says PH-CKA and SELCAL AL-CP. Only KLM's cargo 747s have those updated TFT screens, digital MCP digits and Integrated standby instrument. Also KLM175 is a cargo callsign for AMS-ALA-HKG ;)

[wazzawazza73]

@heffron91 You'll also notice it taxied onto the runway from the Cargo area of the airport...

[bananafai]

@crawlcraft

This is a 100% 747-400ERF..

PH-CKA

[hermancm]

@bananafai Yeah, I had one of those for a couple of years but traded it in for a newer set of wings last year... Mitt

[faisalhk]

@crawlcraft it was a cargo flight, it enter the runway from cargo terminal side,

[averredude101]

@crawlcraft Um thats not a passenger flight, its a cargo flight. The registration is of a KLM 747-400F

[kansai07]

is this the cargo flight?

[LY7610]

@kansai07 Ya

[crawlcraft]

yeap, they make a great sound

[rcg8006]

@crawlcraft where kml from? grettings form mexico

[babytweeze85]

@rcg8006 the Netherlands or Holland as it were. Full name is KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

[rcg8006]

@babytweeze85 OK MAN THANKS :) I HOPE TRAVEL ONE DAY TO THAT PLACES.....YOUR ARE WELCOME HERE IN MEXICO ARE YOU A PILOT?

[FlyingPhoAddict]

@rcg8006 I just got back from Holland I'm actually your neighbor. Im from Texas... You would love Holland. Amsterdam is a must for anybody. I fell in love with the dutch culture and can't wait to go back.

[delacerdaa]

@FlyingPhoAddict they still smoke weed over in amsterdam?

[FlyingPhoAddict]

@delacerdaa oh hell yes :)

[acuraboy1978]

I love how the engines spool up..
