KLM Boeing B747-400 Night Landing Bangkok Cockpit view

[Kaipeternicolas]

Amazing video. That's a really cool perspective! Thanks for sharing!

[stevey2020]

They are Dutch. I know this, because he says "Flapsh Five"

[samborlon]

@stevey2020 No shit! It says KLM. Also SHpeed brake!

[Rammstein971]

Thumbs up if your dream is to become a pilot but you have color blindness.

[ScrappySuper91]

What airline was this? KLM?

[FSXreality]

For further information on 747 procedures from the real world, perhaps enjoy my channel.

[kelvinti]

Great Video!

It was my dream to be a pilot too! But, my grades couldn't make it. It's one big regret in my life!

However, I took a opportunity years ago to become a cabin crew at the tail end of the fuselage even though it's not as good as sitting in the front end of the fuselage as a pilot as I have been dreaming of.

WTH! Thinking to myself now! I had traveled and seen and touched the world too all these years.

However, I still want to be a pilot in my next life!

Cheers!

[sonicgearHD]

woo respect! manual landing not a APP, woo nice !

[GioAcostaFCB]

What's flight take 3:30 min on a 747! o.O

[marcs990]

Smooth landing. Wish I paid more attention in my school days then maybe that could of been me :-(

[ProGamingInfection]

At first I thought that it is in the simulator: D

Sorry for my bad English ^ ^

[FernandoEstebanEsteb]

Manual landing i think i've heard the autopilot disconect signal.

[wouterboy2]

nederlandse piloten :-) / Dutch pilots :-)

[Loveaium]

which sound is pilot and co-pilot?

[LoveEunHye]

Super Smooth

[hassannassaralah]

was in that new airport many times that was a nice aproach and landing

[dezhnl]

very nice video!

[lebensvideo]

It's definitely a great video. You've done a great job, thanks.

[punisherworldwide747]

(747psychic) of the Seven Sea's, Trade Wind's,Atlantic Seaboard,Pacific Rim,Panama Canal,and I just--got--laid........

[bigmaxy07]

Loved this video thanks! 

[a44977]

When is that change from VNAV to FL CH , After TOP OF DESCENT???

[spambot2]

@a44977 VNAV is when the autopilot/flight director fly the plane according to the vertical (climb/descent) profile that the crew has loaded into the flight management computer, FL CH (Flight level change) can be selected instead to make the airplane climb or descend at a pre selected speed (on the glareshield)

[CamShaft200]

@a44977 I think It was way before this video (although I'm not entirely sure)..Its usually when the ATC starts giving the pilots vectors for the approach (they also disengage LNAV at this point)

[saranghaelove1]

@a44977 Depends, could be on your approach to slow and manage your speed on your own. Otherwise leave the VNAV on and enter in the speeds into your FMC with the altitude and it will do it self. FL CH is recommended though.

[klblackstar]

this pilot is a beast.

[antharro]

Superb video. Thank you for posting. :)

[funandy97]

Absolutely stunning video!!!! As an avionics tech it is always amazing to see everything working together for a smooth approach and landing!!!

[sonic187sq]

A pilot has to pay at least 120.000 euros for his commercial flying license and finding a job nowadays is nearly impossible. But when you eventually are a pilot then you have one of the best jobs in the world.

[raphy1123]

@sonic187sq divide your amount by two and that's pretty much the minimum you'd have to pay to earn your ATPL(f) + CPL + MCC while going through modular training with a nice flight school... Ab initio training can cost up to 95k euros but why pay more for less total time in the end ! And it's even cheaper overseas. and no it's not impossible to find a job, there's plenty of work in the general aviation sector all around the world, before applying for the airlines. ;-)

[ShelbyGT500TT]

can you do a vid of the starting procedures??? plz???

[afgrocks123]

Beautiful! I hope for your videos to have a part of it show the inside of the cockpit as such. THANK YOU!

[jameshuntercox]

Beautiful

[migueldegonzalo1]

very good video man , i love the 747 , good job :)

[motmot203]

good landing !

[robbspace]

Excellent! 

[stewie142996]

hey everybody whats the capilat of thialand

bangkok

egsacly

[bartlebyscrivener]

OMG. Who's flying the plane?



[fucku6303]

is the PMDG 747?? hahaaha

[HRkapitan]

@fucku6303

Yeah this is exactly how it looks when im on approach in me beloved PMDG747

[theblueroomsstudio]

brilliant great video...watching post like this is probably the closest I'll get to fulfilling my dream to pilot an aircraft.............dream on!

[Bryanz098]

Reverse thrust at 6:15

[divinelykeyed]

@Bryanz098 cool



[MsHouseboy]

FOLLOW THE STEPS.

step 1. while watching this put the sound high or wear headphones so u can hear nothing else except this clip.

step 2. shut of all the lights . so u watch this in the dark.

step 3. press the 720p HD button.

step 4. sit back , and enjoy . U are in a cockpit !

[MyhreProductions]

I don't get it? Why does he turn of the AP when he captures the localiser and glide slope?

[rossoarancione]

@MyhreProductions : When to turn off the AP is all about company policy. Some companies leave it on until minimums, but others disengage it way sooner. I've seen Belgian companies disconnecting at 10.000 ft and higher.

[SoundShunter72]

Finnaly youtube is used where its made for GOOD VIDS

[323tiim]

Looks like FSX

[MANTLEBERG]

A great approach i love a long final, the ap held speed well, good call-outs

[Pete4000uk]

I dont know if its the camera angle or lens, but is the aircraft in a nose down position until the last moment?

[1234Pipo]

En daarna nog even een drankje in de lebua state tower sky bar?

[rahulras]

And then they know they are going to have a great night at Bangkok! :)

[beaum1cah]

thumbs up if its your dream to be a pilot

[arjennovic]

@beaum1cah Man you're gonna break the thumbs up record now...

[beaum1cah]

@arjennovic i just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only one who was taking a riskful leap by going to flight school.

[Tommovdv]

@beaum1cah nope, you're not alone. 153.000 euro investment in the future. It better damn well be worth every single coin:P

[divinelykeyed]

@beaum1cah but am kinda scared

[t88boost]

@beaum1cah my dream is to be an astronaut

[Rijelthelovefool]

@t88boost gl, you'll have to be an officer or a pilot in the airforce, or navy, gl

[afgrocks123]

@beaum1cah it WAS my dream too! but now it's a reality,, i swear to god! just go for it,, you will never regret it,, and know that you only have one life to make choices,, :)

[ContentRequest]

Hierom vlieg ik klm

[TheAnsarias]

i have a question and I am desperate to know the answer.

My Granddad has Glaucoma and so did his father.....my uncle may have it aswell but its not confirmed. Even if i dont have it when I apply to be a pilot..... would the fact that its in my family restrict me from being a pilot.

[TomCook1993]

@TheAnsarias No. Even if you do have it, you can get your PPL (with restrictions). It's never the end of the world. Just remember, there are blind pilots out there.

[TheAnsarias]

@TomCook1993

Thank you sooo much...thats a huge load off my chest, Im really grateful to you.

[EinkOLED]

It must be very rewarding for you and your flightcrew for bringing yourself and your passengers all the way to Bangkok.

I can't think of any job out there that is more exciting.

[Avatarnightfuryblade]

FS or real thing?

[razorTin]

@Avatarnightfuryblade Are you serious? if that was a FS you'd pay a shitload of money for such graphics !

[TheHedgehogPilot]

@Avatarnightfuryblade nice question! but unfortunately it's real

[Avatarnightfuryblade]

@TheHedgehogPilot How did you get inside the cockpit? I have seen many planes land in suvarnabhumi airport, as I live in Bangkok

[TheHedgehogPilot]

@Avatarnightfuryblade It's not my video, it's real so obviously the video should be filmed from inside the cockpit, I expect that there won't be anyone who would fly with camera on the nose!

[LeicesterPilot]

feel right at home-FSX!

[Benjemen85]

@Stickman698 yeah it depends: if they have a headset connected, you can´t hear the atc com. if there is no headset connected you can hear the atc throughout the cockpit and the pilots communicate via micro with atc instructors

[blueeyessonny]

Thats one of the best night landing videos i've seen.. well done.

[Furiouswindbottom]

I meant 757 (doh).

[MrBowie08]

oooh jezus:) goed gedaan man. gewoon ff manual een 747 aan de grond zetten

[Benjemen85]

strange i heard no atc

[Stickman698]

@Benjemen85 Don't the ATC communicate through the headset?

[MixMoose]

KLM "gefällt" das also, wenn da im Cockpit rumgefilmt wird. Lässt sich das denn mit der Sicherheit bei der Landung vereinbaren?

[BlackHawk95955]

nice work ;)

[jtic21]

nice landing Captain!  Being a virtual 747-400 captain in microsoft FSX I can only be jealous! Great flying!

[viktorshch]

Great video, many thanks !

[joaoromeuferraz]

what was your payload? light landing

[townman1]

This is why I love Youtube ! great Video no hype .Thanks for the post

[hairysaccs]

flight sim has got more advanced

[MrEurocup]

he's taxiing with Idle Thrust. The Pmdg can't even with 35%N1

[arjennovic]

@MrEurocup Yes, the PMDG 747 needs a redo, just like the 737NG needed it.

[heffron91]

@arjennovic and there will be one, i think ;)

[joaoromeuferraz]

best video i've seen!!!!

[size50plus]

Excellent insight thank you for the opportunity to see what must be an amazing feeling ( lucky one cool captain

[SkyR1D3rDE]

Great Video. I can't wait to fly the 747 in the Lufthansa Training Sim. I love this plane so much. LoL@ the landing checklist. " Speedbreak? armed! , landing gear? ..... aeehhhh down!......" :-D

I wish you always 3 green and happy landings!

[TheBart1997]

@SuredT are you a pilot KLM ?

[kcg5000]

What is the alarm type noise at 2:30?

[tuniturntablist]

@kcg5000 I think its the "autopilot" disconnect . but I'm not sure ...

[TheBart1997]

@tuniturntablist True, the autopilot was turned off

[DHMaNiAc770]

@kcg5000 its a warning and its beacause the A/P auto pilot was disconnected

[dkoy123]

Where did you place the camera?

[tudobmw]

the best vid I've ever seen!!!! thanks a lot!

[scarface4600]

b747-400 hahah i'm going to bangkok and that's my flight number

[englandish43]

What is the maximum reverse thrust N1 for the GE engines?

[footballfreak1904]

which idiots have voted negatively??

Great aircraft, great airline! In a few days again at Polderbaan!!!

[DarkFox03]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice landing boys!

[airforceaggie]

smooth touchdown

[aircraftpilot4]

nice approach and landing

[dave134377]

IS this ifly? Or PMDG?

[flynabilx]

@dave134377 It's the real boeing one -.-

[pawelo81]

Shpidbreak ;)

[TheXshot]

@The12rspc Not really. You can't get in the cockpit anymore, since 9/11. Only way you'll be able to even see the cockpit, is to get officially invited with a pass so you can sit in the cockpit for 1 flight. (not on all planes)

[NumanFsl]

How are you able to get inside the cockpit?

[JorJorArmany]

OMG! its awsome runway light, it makes the pilot for feel to it...NICE ONE! =D

[rafous0206]

Thanks for posting this video. I've watch in HD and it was really nice! Thumbs up! =D

[AERODYNAMICMICROSOFT]

OKAY! This shows that pmdg did a REALLY GOOD JOB! I am aware that this is real, but, on the flight sim, a pmdg 747 could literally be used to copy this approach. WOW! GREAT FLYING GUY!

[Rafal102able]

@SuredT Hi SuredT

When I watched movies from cockpit 747, I noticed a curious SOP in British Airways during landing.

FO had control to 500 ft AGL and then Cpt took control and he carried out the landing and after TDZ he gave back control to FO again.

KLM has also that SOP's?

[0salot]

smooth like a 10 year old girls bum

[SkateGeek27]

@0salot What the fuckk?

[TheWarPlanet]

@0salot lol.

[InTheCity3D]

@BatterioKiwi It's looks insanely close to fsx. The approach felt slow in game (even in a good rig) but apparently its slow in real life.

[500rona]

i hear no claps?

[Armigo91]

is part of the IFR flight plan.

It does happen on flights that heavy aircraft are assigned to do a VFR, only if runways close mostly due to whether conditions.

But in modern times anno 2011, almost all big airports and many smaller airports have all ILS runways.

Many international airports only have ILS runways.

That doesnt mean VFR flights cant land their, they wont use their ILS as its not part of their flight plan.

[IRAQ4EVER95]

@Armigo91 are you a pilot?

[gosiaaagr]

I love U pilot!

[iscope100]

why did you need ils, was it rainy?

[Armigo91]

@iscope100

FYI, aircraft are assigned to a IFR or VFR departure plan. In 99/100 times heavy aircraft like jumbojets are almost all the time assigned to IFR flight plans which means instrument flight rules. This includes the departure tower to vector a ils runway during the IFR.

You cant switch from IFR to VFR or the other way around once the plane is assigned to the ATC. So once you made a IFR plan, it doesnt matter whether it rains at your destinations or not. It will land by ILS, as ILS

[iscope100]

@Armigo91 yes,yes i know what ifr,vfr, ils...all of that stuff means....but thanks for the info,not trying to sound insulting.

[ikrambaig123]

WOW. VTBS IS SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT... VTBD IS DONMEONG BKK APT RIGHT??? OPLA LAHORE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OPKC KARACHI ITL AIRPORT.....

[777Plox]

I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for making it...what was the camera attached to? Thanks again!

[pilotwave]

awesome! would love to see more from this vantage point. thanks for sharing.

[mshogeveen85]

Love this video also love KLM. Thanks for uploading! Love from Amsterdam, Holland

[MrElfro89]

I bet you love your job :)

[rambocivilairpatrol]

why do you say cleared and then the co pilot says checked when you pass through 500? does this mean that you are cleared to land or does it mean that you are committed to land. and when he says checked is it because he is verifying that you are passing through 500?

[Jeahryn]

@rambocivilairpatrol 500ft RA is just a standard point in the approach to check if you are cleared to land. Both pilots have to be sure they are cleared to land, that's why the other says 'checked'.

[rambocivilairpatrol]

@Jeahryn Ahh. Thank you!

[dimastraton]

Бля пилоты озадачены самолётом или камерой, это же пиздей просто

[mshogeveen85]

wahahahah geniaal wat ie zegt wil de een wat uitleggen aan de ander over de gate. Zegt ie bij: 7.36 ja wacht ff ben ff met de bocht bezig hoor....hahahah. En bij 7.48 zegt ie weer: ja ik rij weer rechtuit..en de 2e gast gaat dan door met z'n uitleg verhaaltje over de gate...wahahahah

[Rettungsliegerfan]

@TheAusraelian thanks!

[XXGentelXX]

luv the way those pilots communicate with eachother sound professional

[SuddenImpact69]

thumbs up if you saw Hnagover part 2

[FF35Pilot]

When you do manual landing, do you control speed as well or do you let Autothrottle do that?

[Jeahryn]

@FF35Pilot At 2:32 you see SPD dissapear from the PFD and you hear him click two times, that means he disengages the autothrottle. The basic rule is when flying without the autopilot you also disengage the autothrottle. Cheers.

[FF35Pilot]

is FLCH speed just getting to an altitude at the speed set in MCP?

[cinefilo80]

great landing

[einsteinboricua]

Great video. Question: is this landing done with autopilot or was it a manual one?

[soccerking002]

Buetiful,buetiful landing

[MrKyvegas00]

bangkok, haha reminds of Hangover 2

[sp2141]

IN HD, YOU CAN'T READ THE INSTRUMENTS

[thunderheadsquadron]

thumbs up if you like night flights as a pilot but not as a passenger

[ollie2007uk]

great video. at what alt do you disarm the autopilot and land manually?

[Flight322]

Greatest office in the world!

[wisnu1231]

can you record the landing at Jakarta?.....................m­y home airport lol

[Gian092]

"Localizer, ooh" It's a relief when you capture it, uh? Were you approaching manually from 2:31? Also, you were pretty light to land at 144 Kn, weren't you?

Great video and thanks for sharing it :)

[runerinpoke]

@Gian092 H was obviously flying manually you could hear the sound that signifies that the autopilot has been disengaged

[SuredT]

@Gian092. The "ooh" was because the AutoPilot was banking rather roughly to intercept the localiser.

[Rettungsliegerfan]

@SuredT i bet this is very difficult isn't it?

[ganjasmoker112]

@SuredT are you a pilot because im gonna catch a flight soon and wana ask some questions im not the best with flying n all that ahah

[dave46563]

@ganjasmoker112 flying is safer than driving mate!

[ganjasmoker112]

@dave46563 something that weighs that much shouldnt leave the ground trust me im not terrified of flying i love the flight but some shit gets me paranoid like turbulence just wanna hear a pilots opinion i believe there trained enough and all that surely he can tell me something about turbulence thats going to ease my nervs on a flight once from south america we had bad turbulence im a frequent flyer and the turbulence on my last flight was something else thats all ahah

[Pegasus1507198915]

@SuredT Can someone change the bank angle for each turn? Or the autopilot has default bank angles depending on how much you want to turn?

[SuredT]

@Pegasus1507198915. The autopilot uses a fixed bank angle. Mostly 25 degrees. Only when we fly at high altitudes (above 30.000ft) the autopilot adjust this bank angle to lower values

[MrBowie08]

@Gian092

With the flaps set to 30 degrees the plane can land with speeds between 122 and 165 knots, depending on the weight.

knowing this info you can do quite an accurate guess

[DHMaNiAc770]

hmm thats for sure right but i will tell you something.i started my pmdg by watcing tutorials and i allways wanted to find a video with everything and nowhere nothing,allthough i learnt everything by myself.A last question XD what is the cabin and landing altitude and where do you get your charts?

[Pedrovra]

@DHMaNiAc770 Most countries have government AIS pages with free charts. Some key words like AIS or aeronautical chart or notam and the name of the country on google should do the trick. Google knows and sees (almost) everything. You just have to refrase your question sometimes. Some links for Europe on this site: eurocontrol.int/aim/public/sta­ndard_page/web_eur.html

[DHMaNiAc770]

@Pedrovra link for them

[flevobirdy]

jesus christus wat is dit mooi

!! degene die in de cockpit zat moet erg gelukkig zijn , het was trouwens een nederlandse bemanning ..

[averredude101]

also why did you not use Idle reverse? Quite a long runway you guys had there

[flevobirdy]

amazing !!! i hope i can watch the same in a cockpit when i go to bkk again ....;)

[DHMaNiAc770]

and if you remember what was departure (origin) airport?

[DHMaNiAc770]

what is FLCH SPD? and why at the top center of the left screen appear all the time LOC and not APP at the end?I cant stop watching your videos =D they are great

[Pedrovra]

@DHMaNiAc770 At the top of the PFD (screen) you will see the status for throttle to the left, the horizontal selection at the center and vertical selection to the right. The horizontal mode is LOC. FLCH means the autopilot will mantain the vertical speed needed to keep that airspeed. APP was pressed at 1:39, you can see GS light up at white below FLCH. When the glide slope is intercepted it changes to green and you'll see the pilot change the selected alt to missed approach (3000).

[DHMaNiAc770]

@Pedrovra aaaa thnx for replying but i have a last question XD how you can see your DME from a waypoint or stasion?

[Pedrovra]

@DHMaNiAc770 It's shown in the bottom corners of the middle screen. There's a VOR/OFF/ADF switch beside the VOR/MAP/PLN selector at the EFIS controls that must be selected and the VOR must be at range for DME to show.
