Boeing 747 British Airways landing at LHR - IN COCKPIT

[mimdotcc]

Heh... seems like the "FAKE" shouters are everywhere... just that in aviation videos, they say "SIM"...

What a world full of idiots.

Great video btw!

[DaVader8394]

Decide? Is that like minimums?

[airplanes66]

@DaVader8394 i think its for going around i.e the minum height at which you can power up and go around before you are commited to land.

[Beech165]

thats NOT a sim!

Great!

[radar050976]

Great video and what a nice landing too. Incredibly smooth.

[timothyngim]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to London's Heathrow Airport, the local time is........we thank you for flying British Airways...

[jazzdrum100]

If that's a sim then I'm the friggin Queen of England!

[TheBoeing737Pilot]

How can people possibly think this is a sim??

[SquaLLidO100]

Very nice and soft landing

[CaraveoArjohn24]

nyc landing Capt :) :D

[jonathanaus2010]

seems ages to touch down

[sunnypyara]

Late landing....but nice and soft touch down!

[levelat350]

"50 ABOVE.DECIDE" TARGET'S JUST AHEAD. TARGET SHOULD BE CLEAR IF YOU GO IN LOW ENOUGH. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE . YOU HAVE TO DECIDE.

[jordan4541]

@levelat350 loool movie airplane!

[levelat350]

@jordan4541 I LOVE THAT MOVIE TOO!!!

[mikey0118]

Great video. I am confused as to why so many 'thumbs down' votes though? What more did people expect from a video titled 'Boeing 747 British Airways landing at LHR - IN COCKPIT'?

[ShaggieHans]

Funny that every one thinks its a fake by looking at the scenery. Is it just me, or isn't it strange that the Pilot Flying, the Captain, has his right hand on the yoke and not on the throttles?

Isn't it also very quiet in the cockpit? No communication amongst the pilots? Then again I don't know BA's SOP's

[a44977]

Thats A Catastrophic Error, Plane Landed After "Piano Lines", Crew Had To "Go Around"...

[Cloudsupthere]

@a44977 =,= No not really :p

[mekydro]

They 'hidden voice' that does the altitude countdown usually says 'minimums' just before the touchdown, but not in this clip. Why so?

[SVAFnemesis]

@mekydro isn't it supposed to be reported by FO?

[istvanklein]

People who say it's a simulator have never seen a simulator.

[Cathaydude]

i landed in heathrow on cathay flight CX255 and there was a severe crosswind on runway 9L

[fooksake69]

if you think this is a fake you are a cock.

[mrcaptaincj]

What the heck why do people think its a simulator?

[jegue187]

gbhjjh

[11esky]

beautifull

[noversibirsk]

nice would love to fly the 747 never seen the landing from the cockpit i was always in couch, cool video

[Iamwatchingyou75]

Is it me or was touchdown very late on the runway.

[DreamFlightPro]

Anyone know any Pilots for British Airways? Please inbox me asap...thanks

[LukeNAESA10]

@DreamFlightPro Yes I am a pilot.

[DreamFlightPro]

@LukeNAESA10 Do you know a Filipino pilot name Michael Dy? Also 3 Flight Attendants one is Filipino Name Mitch Chan or goes by the name Marie Michelle Dee Chan, 2 other girls Trish Smith and Tiffany Jones. these 4 people claim on facebook that they work for British Airways and I don't believe them. Thanks

[sly433]

it might be both, don't know, it could be the camrea quality is bad so it looks fake, but the outside looks too high a quality to say it not, haha, guess it a be there kind of thing :) good video though mate

[jay123lufc]

godd smooth landing how did u get permission to go in the cokpit for landing.

[dontbeasquuare]

A sim? how about i simulate my foot up your ass!

[Tiemyshoebish]

If you think it's a sim, you are retarded.

[Tescok]

@HDFlightSim Watch my other video ;)!

[Tiemyshoebish]

@HDFlightSim How is it a sim..

[FLIGHTANIMATION]

@HDFlightSim ahah! lol.... mate this is the real deal :)

[HDFlightSim]

@FLIGHTANIMATION maybe : )........anywayits just my opinion to say its a sim.....u know i loved the video whatever its is....i mean i like the footage

[16vr6]

@HDFlightSim get laid

[blueb0g]

@HDFlightSim NOT a sim

[Daohanleem]

@HDFlightSim I wish my sim was this realistic.

[butterscottch227]

oh cool :)

[DerGeckarbor]

pika pika :D

[butterscottch227]

why do pilots let you in the cockpit at landing?

[BringEllisTheHoriZon]

@butterscottch227 theres a jump seat in the back, this guy is either a pilot that let someone else film or he is a flight attendant, i have friends who have done it, its up to the captain though :)

[MightySmith1983]

She said "Decide"... This is the point of no return... If the captain wants to abort the approach, this is the last moment to do it!

Greetz

[Amtrak1194]

What was the female voice in the beginning saying?

[planeboy737]

Just to say that the user planepod has decided to use your video. Claiming it as his. ;) Don't stand for it.

Excellent video by the way

[trechan]

I'm looking at this and I laugh because usually on the GPWS, you hear 40 30 20 10 bam. instead its 50 40 30 20 10 ........................... bam.

[ollo1982]

@trechan this says 50,30,20,10... haha

[trechan]

@ollo1982 you know what I ment. lol

[ollo1982]

@trechan Yea... lol.. just had to when i saw that.. sorry :)

[hessen211]

هبوط جيد جدا very nice

[BasingstokePSB]

Voice at 0:14 & 0:18, Ysanne Churchman?

[Flightmode747]

i think baloney geek has a point since when runway lights flicker an if u look good this looks like a sim scenery u guys should compare it to other 747 cockpit landings an see

[Rafal102able]

@Tescok You kept aircraft on the central line perfectly.

You used flight director during approach or visual path?

[drovais]

Lahore, Lahore aay....................

[636roadrunner]

There are movable simulators. I was lucky enough to get to ride in one. A 747-400 actually. They do look a bit like this, so I can see the point. But this is real. If it were a simulator the screen would look distorted and you could see black lines on the edge of the screen where the image stops. That isn't true with this though. It is real.

[TheMrVisitor]

AMAZING

[TheMrVisitor]

AMAZING

[nabuhodenozor1]

Wow it was amazing landing ! Well done pilots and great plane 747 5/5

[walekfan]

funny GPWS voice "50 above" like my mothers voice :)

[DJSAIA1]

aaah that is amazing

[cyrium]

what time of day is it? Dusk? or Morning?

[Djcarvamooiboy]

No, it's not a simulator

[Skipper56270]

This is a simulator for the training of the crew, look at the lights ! and for the hand, it's because they are real pilot in a simulator. Write "747 simulator" in Google images and look the first photo of the second page ... !!

[HDFlightSim]

it is a simulator indeed

[natofsx8]

@HDFlightSim and you a retard ineed.

[blueb0g]

@HDFlightSim Not a sim.

[CargoMD11]

They kind of missed the TDZ (Touch Down Zone)... That means that they should have gone around!?

[gopack42]

good lord. All of you guys are pathetic trying to argue if its a sim or real world. Do any of you get laid? Who freaking cares if it's a computer or not? All of you are a bunch of losers, regardless of whether its a computer or not. Get a damn life.

[BaloneyGeek]

It's a simulator. Not Microsoft Flight Simulator. the kind of simulators used for training. They are like mockups of the real thing. Besides, common sense and physics will dictate that runway lights CANNOT shine so brightly even in early morning. And then again, if this was real, the light coming from the side windows should have illuminated the instrument panel. The instrument panel is not lit with ANY sort of natural light.

[Tescok]

@BaloneyGeek If you care to check out my other video that include pictures of the flights, you will see it's not a simulator - thanks!

[murderblade7]

@Tescok It is a simulator, thanks

[TheGreatFlyer]

@Tescok There is no way this is a simulator. Ignore everybody telling you that :) Nice video!

[Markuzzo0505]

@BaloneyGeek you should see a real 747 cockpit before posting. This is a real video and not a simulator.

[leafsfan234]

@BaloneyGeek thats not fake stupid

[0oCrimsono0]

@BaloneyGeek waw your such a dipshit.

[KIDLATglp]

@BaloneyGeek if you look at the center of the runway the yellow taxi lines are beside the White Center Line of the runway, in Flight SIm the Yellow Taxi Line is in the Center line of the runway you notice that hmmm?

[ollo1982]

@BaloneyGeek Try to pull your eyes out of your ass before saying that this is a simulator... Not har to see its a real flight...

[incheon]

@BaloneyGeek If this was a sim, number one the outside screens would flicker, number two I have yet to come across a Level D sim with such realistic traffic.

[dookiekong007]

@BaloneyGeek wow, you're dumb

[XxStalkerxSasquachXx]

@BaloneyGeek You're just really stupid. That's all I can really say.

[TheIcecooldk]

@BaloneyGeek you are fake its not a sim!!!!!!!!!

[hcvideoproductions]

@BaloneyGeek hahaha at all these dumbasses that think this is fake, haha wow

[jojo12455]

@BaloneyGeek Also, the glare shield prevents the natural light from shining on the instruments unless its diluted. Also, those runway 'lights' are also reflectors so they shine whenever light is on them. Therefore, if the landing lights are on and theyre usually bright, the reflection will be just a bright.

[codzomz]

@BaloneyGeek if you are a pilot I fear flying now cause I fly and you dont know shit about the internal set up of a 747 or the basic theory of how light even refracts.... get off youtube dumbass

[OmsoiTekken]

@BaloneyGeek Your a moron. Of course it's real.

[chrissyboy129]

@BaloneyGeek prove this a simulation smart one?

[mimozmar]

Its took me less than a cm to figure out all of this mayhem(sim vs real)! I dont think they re is any bugs on a Sim! This is a 747 REAL Flightdeck....And thats only one thing...Beside the car at 0.06 bottom left on the road flashing his lights!

[rodrigoborgesflores]

What is this woman talking at the beginning? I do not understood what she said.

[ryanhaart]

@rodrigoborgesflores The "woman" is a computer voice. "50 above" means 50 feet above minimums. Minimums is the altitude at which the flight crew must have visual contact with the runway - of not the approach must be aborted. The "50 above" callout is effectively a pre-warning to the following "Decide" callout. "Decide" is the decision altitude - if the flight crew does not have visual contact to the runway at that point, they must abort. Otherwise the approach will continue. 

[rodrigoborgesflores]

@ryanhaart Hey Ryan! Thanks for the explanation, it was so helful. But i mean about the voice because i never heard a woman in the 'callouts'. Indeed i heard in MD-11 callouts, but it's the only one. Anyway, thanks dude! :)

[ryanhaart]

@rodrigoborgesflores The Honeywell EGPWS has various configuration settings for male and female voices. I guess it comes down to company preference or policy.

[freddurst222]

GREAT! Thx for sharing!

[Michaisi]

why people always behave like everything is fake on youtube? It's not a simulator, it's a real plane! People be positive for god's sake!

[pablomartinr]

@Michaisi your are right so many stupid and negative comments but its not only in youtube.

[cookiecave1283]

Very good quality and clear sound! Thanks!!

[skazhiprivet]

Wow, FSX looks pretty realistic now!

What add-on is this?

[KiwiIngenuity1]

@skazhiprivet hahaha!

[Rafal102able]

Whats a nice flare :)

[69fearfactory]

why does it say 100 above decide?

[skazhiprivet]

@69fearfactory - It asks if you´re sure you really want to land there... there is still 100 ft to go, so you can choose whether you want to go on or go back! :)

[superman797]

@skazhiprivet I would say go back to werever we flew from that was sunnier LOL

[superman797]

@skazhiprivet And no your wrong minimums is a height that's different at each airport for safety and noise laws its the height when on approach were the pic (Pilot in command) decides whether its safe to land or not the GPWS calls Minimums or decide as in this plane. So it would be decide and the pic would call land if he would be landing and abort if unsafe to do so :).

[skazhiprivet]

@superman797 - You´re right on. I was just kidding :)

[superman797]

@skazhiprivet Hey dude i know chill :) i chuckled myself :)

[superman797]

@superman797 Also if i way expand in Heathrow they bring down to DH (Discension Hight) to as low as 80 feet as for if the airport gets crowded. So planes are quicker to land then go around.

[WhiteSuper09]

I'ts so obvious.... i'ts real.

[AirbusA380rox]

how idiots could think that this is a simulator is beyond me...

[matthiashaenni]

GREAT vid!!!

[seamcon15]

very nice

[leonelp51]

HOW CAN SOME PPL CONFUSE THE REALITY WITH A SIMULATOR GOD DAMNIT !!! U NEED SOME GLASSES COME ON !!!

[Maxpilot777]

No offence, but there was floating.

[Vorox144]

ya they have simulators 2 dumbass but no its not a sim its real in real pilot sim they dont put traffic in airport

[Farmerpilot13]

I have a question.... when flying a large commercial airliner in real life do you guys use direct gps or do you use loran for oversese flights and VORs for overland

[DVA7498]

@Farmerpilot13 Direct GPS is never used for IFR flights, flightplans are based on routes containing VOR , Waypoints and Airways, specifically (Jet Airways) for turbojet aircraft and turboprop.While Props use Victor Airways

[jaimz1982]

Idiots, its not a sim, how do I know, erm, been to cranebank many times and the 747 sims crash with google earth! Idiots Oh and yes I know several guys who fly these things for BA!

[n16099l]

Tescok; Thanks for sharing Both Videos are great. Love BA, has the best pilots in the world flying for them. In responce to the people that think this is a simulation how can you explain the large amount of wind not too mention the sun glare on touch down. If you don't know what you are talking about,quit wasting energy typing.Thanks Tescok.

[musico81986]

Wow...nice landing, long flare!

Check out my videos!

[charlieiscool1000]

exactly this is real u idiots anyone who says it isnt is simply retarded no offence

[MsAdriano1989]

Lud Mój angielski ja z Polski ludzie angliki są pojebani rozumiecie smiecie?jestescie pojebani...

[TaylorDaPilot]

its a very good sim

if this was really heathrow there would be planes everywhere

[felixnittonhundra94]

if this was a simulator the view outside had been "flimmering" (i´m from sweden), because thats the effect of recording another screen, just look to the right, the terminal and the aircrafts there is real

[cathalkavanagh]

No thats the Yaw Damper auto off..... when Landing.

[igna924]

0:41, you can see the hand of the captain on the yoke. Besides, how can you be so stupid to say this is a simulation?I can not understand what's going on in your minds you guys!

[jelleenrs]

@igna924 igna924 I agree it isnt a flight simulator like fsx or fs2004 but it can be in a flight simulator like for training pilots...

[UltimateSonicFan0001]

@igna924 It is a simulator. You can see the "captains" hand on the yoke because it's a SIMULATOR. You sit down in it and it simulates flight.

[BiATom411]

@UltimateSonicFan0001 LOOK AT THE BUILDINGS YOU STUPID PRICK. IT ISNT A FUCKING SIMULATOR. SIMULATORS DONT HAVE THAT MUCH DETAIL. SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. Man these kind of comments make me angry.

[SAVDC10]

@igna924 When we say simulation, it doesn't mean computer simulators. Airlines have simulator's to train they pilots - they also look very realistic.

[sk8rguy178]

@igna924 whats the captains hand on the yoke have to do with anything IF it was a simulator i would expect to see someone flying it.......... just saying

[shidoski]

This is definately real because you can see several cars on the street before the runway

[PhilipDK5800]

How on earth can you mistake this from being shot in a sim???

[windh]

@PhilipDK5800 ignorance?

[PhilipDK5800]

Probably :p

[Transfusions]

@PhilipDK5800 The first reason is because of poor quality of video. The second reason is the latest simulator database for commercial use expressing amazingly detailed view with 3D and the real ground texture mapping. Third reason is that thought it's day time outside the light in the cockpit is like the night time which makes me remind of the flight simulator.(I have done the commercial sim like this before)

[ryanhaart]

@Transfusions Hello Transfusions, commercial simulators do not place much emphasis on realism of the landscape and 3D view. The main purpose of simulator training is to practice cockpit procedures, so the realism of the display is not very important. This is clearly an actual flight deck video.

[Transfusions]

@ryanhaart I don't know in U.K. but Such as in Japan Air Line they have programmer for the simulator it's able to update the simulator program and they do emphasis on realism as well. Again with this quality of video above here it's not easy to say if it's the real or it's the flight simulator at once. Give you some example for you. Search with this key word " V Australia's first Boeing 777-300ER"

- adding to that I've seen more realistic one than this this video.

[hagios9]

I'm a flight simmer, and I know what's real and what's not. Real training simulators with the entire cockpit don't put emphasis on realistic scenery, but on situations.

[zoulation]

OMG man!! give it up already its been like a year since we talked about this ! :D ..

[zoulation]

but just in case what makes you so sure that its real, tell me what are you seeing in the video that gives a hint of reality, because I keep trying to find clear spots with rich texture to prove that, but I can't. You can't just base you're answer by just flying in a cockpit so many times. :) About the people who say this is a sim, what makes you so sure that it is either?

[zoulation]

well, It's hard to tell whether its real or a sim, due to the lack of texture in the video. I dont know about the people who are insisting its either real or fake (thats just so stupid from both sides.) Simmers are so sophisticated nowadays thats it could be a little hard to tell the diference especially in a crappy resoluation like this. And @ Marsaud, it doesnt mean anything when you have been a crew with BA for lots of flights..that has no effect because this is a video on youtube.

[marsaud]

Many times!!! Ha!!

[marsaud]

I'm British Airways longhaul cabin crew/flight attendant and have been in the cockpit many times for the landing into LHR many times....I can safely say this is 100% real. Can't believe people would think it was a sim!!

[1plaiboi]

@marsaud...Maybe you and I can meet someday, my dear. Wait...I hope you're a woman. Lol

[welshbrew]

how can you even say its a sim, its blatantly not!!

[solympic]

it looks like a simulator

[phileustace]

Watching this just makes me realize how dangerous flying really is. One gust of wind, one upsurge in thermal currents etc could cause havoc. I respect the jobs Pilots have. They are wonders in the skies. I really appreciate pilots and doctors in life for the tremendous responsibility they have over peoples lives. My hat goes off to them.

[ryanhaart]

@phileustace: flying is not dangerous. Cars are much more dangerous. They kill hundreds of thousands of people every year in the world.

[Logan8808]

nice landing! i like speedbirds

[Coollimes]

To be honest the realism of the professional training sims today make it hard to tell if this is real or not however the camera shake would suggest it is real unless they've simulated that too. Good video nonetheless. :)

[musico81986]

Nice landing! Big ol-long flare!

[rj5382]

ive traveled around and all over the world and i can say british airways has got to be my most favoured airline with great service and good pilots althought i must say some of its 747 fleet is getting on in years now as i came back from l.a a month ago and it was quite clear to see the the 747 we were traveling on was an old bird, sign of the times i guess, but in all b.a is a good airline, but i would say that being a brit, :)

[Miker3797]

@rj5382 Old? Most of the 747 fleet is only 10 years old.

[rj5382]

The ba planes we went on were older ones then i guess, but haveing said that i did fly up to hawii back in november from sydney on a qantas 767 which still had projector screens in it for the entertainment etc, looking at the projectors id say they were about 20years old, is it comon for companies to fly planes this old??? do you or anyone out there know which carriers have the youngest fleet?

[britishpride2]

i would say Ryanair might have the youngest fleet as it is mostly made up of 737-800s, but dont take my word on that

[Wheyness]

I cannot believe some ppl think this is a simulator...

Anyway! Nice Upload thank you.

[SomanNerveGasMT]

maybe they think because videocolors are quite pale just like the simulators you see on tv documentaries when pilots train. I dunno... maybe that's why some people think it's a simulator. by the way, simulators nowadays are very very realistic.

[FioX094]

how can ppl even think that this is a simulator you can see the speed in landing and the enviornment moves a lot slower than in the simulator

[fosky075]

this video is real, and i dont know why people are arguing on here !

[1littlelee]

at @41 you can see a hand on the control column, sims dont have hads on ctrol columns
