Boeing 737 Flight Deck @ 41,000 Feet [HD]

[rohit11pokemond1999]

my god its awesome .....

[fmatos22]

awesome video....

[joepatroni77]

Lots of radiation up there.

[snipingace34]

@joepatroni77 why?

[rkan2]

@snipingace34 Away from most of the Earth's atmospheric shield!

[crstian2009]

Beautiful Cockpit !!!!

[hozie482]

737ng has to be the one of the best planes boeing ever built

[tengoindiamike]

PECK (ECK) is a waypoint not far from my house where planes fly to all the time at high altitude; thnx for posting this cool video

[immortal4942]

ROFL archie comics 0:22

[denelson83]

@immortal4942 Uh, isn't this supposed to be a sterile cockpit? :s

[fourwheelmaniac9]

@denelson83 below 10,000 feet

[rohit11pokemond1999]

I was wondering wht the pilot do whn he set the plane to autopilot and just sitting for 2or 3 hrs maybe even more , and i got the answer in this video the pilots r reading ARCHIE COMICS see at 0:02

[afgrocks123]

Lol, cause of the high alt.. there was just a little gap for the speed. turbulence would result in bad effects...

[HKS134]

@JCVdude must pilots wear t-shirt or they can choose what type of shirt they wear?

[bluekillz1994]

@HKS134 No, they have to wear their uniform (or the T-shirt only, ofcourse).

[behringersteyr]

And to think this was one of my career choices.... I wish I had better eyes. :(

[Jingogunner]

you are a real jerkoff - I was just looking at the pfd and pfc and reading the nav screen and you pulled the camera away. aren't you interested in the process of flying or are you just a jackass? for chrisake hold the camera on one thing long enough to read it.

[xusmcguy]

@Jingogunner Did it ever occur to you he DIDN'T make this video for your sorry ass? Try pressing the PAUSE button instead of being such an asshole.

[Jingogunner]

@xusmcguy

look old boy, you aren't in the marines anymore, ok, so just pay attention: keep the cam steady and allow the poor viewer to register the image in their mind. most amatuers try to 'edit' as they film with a consequent jerky, fractured image quality - like in this particular video. just try it and see if I'm not right.- edit afterwards if a shot seems really too long

[KhanIndustries]

@Jingogunner You sound like a complete asshole in real life. Just saying.

[kurzweilmanable]

boeing 737-800

[KCBOYZ1307]

@kurzweilmanable No it's a -700 or a -600, the only difference in the -6/700 and the -8/900 is the pneumatics panel. There is only one Recirculation fan switch, there is two in -800's and -900's.

[DerPilotMann]

@KCBOYZ1307 He says -700 in the beginning of the video lol

[TheBadameco]

0.77 cause of the tail wind, right?

with headwind would be o.79?

[210482fmj]

Cabin pressure tends to feel quite nasty at 41,000ft and makes you feel very tired

[Ortagafilms]

Why are you going 226Knots at FL410?

[mohdzo95]

@Ortagafilms Because it is the indicated air speed. His true airspeed is about 470 knots :)

[EinkOLED]

The IAS is showing 226 knots because at 41,000 feet the air is less dense. The total air speed is showing 434 knots relative to the air with a ground speed of 490 knots.

(Ground speed is when the wind speed is subtracted or taken away by the IAS/TAS.

The total air speed is the measure of the airspeed if the aircrafft was flying at sea level. This is why it is much more effecient and faster to fly at altitudes where the air is thinner.

[EinkOLED]

At sea level the 737-800 maximum speed IAS is 340 knots. At 41,000 the 737-800 would struggle to reach that IAS without having to descend rapidly.

However the 737-800 maximum speed (TAS) at cruising altitude is 473 knots/MACH 8.2, this is why at cruising altitude the 737NG and other commercial jet's fly at a target mach speed (TAS) rather than IAS. The difference between IAS of 340/ TAS 473 knots is the air pressure at lower altitudes acting on the air frame and flutter approaching near mach 8.2

[gorkemwade]

226 knot? very slow.

[elskerstine]

@gorkemwade No, the ground speed (GS) is 490 Knots, and True Air Speed (TAS) is434 knots

[EinkOLED]

During 911 is often debated how those jets managed to fly at 500 mph at less than 500 feet above sea level without any the aircraft breaking apart. 500 mph at 30,000 feet is fine, but at sea level and at hhigh atmospheric pressure the air frame and engines are exerted to a lot of air pressure when pushing through the air above 340 knots.

[GioAcostaFCB]

@gorkemwade Not really, when you fly that high speed tends to be different with respect to ground actually is traveling at a speed of 0.84 Match is 490 Knots

[pcorf]

C-CWJO 737-7CT WestJet

[norbi330hfl]

WWWAAAAWWWWW FL410 , 850 km/h

[BLAZZER245]

bei 41000 feet aber nur 225 knoten?

[AirportBremenTV]

@BLAZZER245 ja schneller geht nicht siehst du ja bei 0:55 auf dem fahrtmesser/geschwindigkeitsan­zeige wenn der bei den roten strichen da ist, ist er zu schnell und das zieht zu viel sprit würde ich mal sagen ;)

[AirbusA330Pilot]

@BLAZZER245 die 225 kts sind nur true air speed, die normale reisefluggeschwindigkeit einer 737NG is 0.76 mach

[YannickElite]

@BLAZZER245 ja umso höher man fliegt umso geringer wir die IAS grenze, aber das GS bleibt eigentlich das selbe

[JamKick]

Does Boeing have a plan to standardize their cockpits like Airbus currently does? The cockpit of the 737 always looks messy to me when compared to the Airbus. Not sure how that really reflects on the logical layout of any of them. I am not a Boeing or Airbus driver, hopefully one day.

[vkn128]

very nice ..n' cool Captain...happy landing

[itsayskeds13]

lol at the archie comics!

[jennymanda]

Just did AGP - EMA at FL400 in 737-800 and ride was very choppy most of the 2.5 hours and significant crosswind. So there is wind!

[revowild]

this is were it confueses me i thought the higher you go there is no wind so your ground speed would just be your tas

[Serpico261]

@revowild its exactly the opposite

[Serpico261]

@revowild its exactly the opposite

[revowild]

whats the benefit for flying at the 40s thousand foot range?

[deccas1391]

@revowild Fuel efficiency and faster ground speed

[GoPensGo377]

Westjet is the best airline

[TheSGCGaming]

Looks like the pilots love comics! Who can blame them?

[airbornerat]

20 knot wind at FL410 wowsers!

[dabois85]

@airbornerat Yeah high Altitudes can = High winds Tho oftens smooth winds hopefully,

Winds Aloft at FL400+ can be upto 75Knots, or something like that

[airbornerat]

@dabois85 I meant 120kts as displayed ont the MFD. they can reach up to 200kts and more

[nextofkin99]

what always piss me off is that ugly ,unprofessional people operate commercial aircrafts.

[afgrocks123]

@nextofkin99 fuck off stupid ass bitch!

[LegendxHD]

@nextofkin99 not sure what you are referring to. If you think that all pilots need to be Tom Cruise to be good, you're extremely ignorant. If you are referring to the comic book, he probably picked it up because it would keep him entertained during the 8 hours of flying that day, while not distracting him too much because it is such a light read.

[TheViperAttacker]

how did they let you in? And where is tho co-piolet?

[andyskateboarder]

@TheViperAttacker the copilot is the one filming!

[heresyournametagmark]

lol as he hides the archie comic. i grew up on those things

[SilentAsasin97]

beautiful i cant wait to be a pilot......im guessing the camera man is your co-pilot?

[S9025]

1:20 Im looking at the Anti/ De- ice switches arent turned on ? At FL410 , It's usually about -50-60c Degree .Ain't they supposed to turn it on below Freeze Level and remain on? (or +10 or below ?)

[SpeedbirdDK]

@S9025 Usually icing only occurs in clouds - the air almost includes 0% invisible water vapor at these levels, ice will not appear on the aircraft. This is also as a result of the friction done by the air when the aircraft is doing 200+ kt

[afgrocks123]

@S9025 haha, it is alway negative above 15000.. so you want them to keep it on on every flight? and you can easily reach +10 at 10000 on a summer...

[gregaperkin]

@S9025 Not far off... The engine anti ice goes on between +10C (TAT) and -40C (SAT) and only in visible moisture (clouds). As you say, the temp at 410 is below this, so anti-ice not needed.

[LegendxHD]

@S9025 the air is way too dry to pick up ice. Cold weather doesn't = ice. <0*C with humidity could though. Anti ice is turned on going through clouds for this very reason.

[ann37876]

cool channel 

[cogabc]

Look left of center windshield at 2:58 and you will see a fast moving black object going to the right. Check it out!

[GamingGherkins]

@cogabc It's a speck on the window :) haha

[gspfan93]

@cogabc thts a black dot on the winshield lol

[DiamondPilotDan]

please upload more like this! and tell me.. how's the anlge of attack that high up? they say your max speed is close to your stall speed .. quite a concept to grasp lol

[mim915]

118 tailwind.. that made them so fast

[Mr777scary]

Archie comlcs, lol

[DiamondPilotDan]

lmao 225 knots indicated XD even though they're probably near 450kts

[maxou5757]

@DiamondPilotDan 491 knots for ground speed :) With 120knots 126 degrees from the right winds ahah

[DiamondPilotDan]

@maxou5757 haha there we go

[BuiltFordTough2011]

Whats the point in having pilots if there just gonna have it on auto pilot the whole dame time.

[LegendxHD]

@BuiltFordTough2011 because if you knew anything about the job, you would realize that what a Pilot does goes far beyond just flying the plane. It use to be that 4+ people were in the cockpit: an engineering, navigator, and 2 Pilots. Now the pilots do everything. Your comment is like asking "why do we have doctors, because we could just use an x-ray machine."

[mikjet]

The speed is fine. At hgh altitudes you do not go by the indicated speed. The mach speed is what counts and they are doing .768 which is just where they are supposed to be. Max for this aircraft is normally .78. Also the GS (Ground Speed) is 491 knots so you can safely ignore the 224 you see in the video as it has no meaning at 41000 feet.

[MartijnDFA]

They're not flying too slow. IAS (indicated) is 226 knots, TAS (true airspeed) is much higher due to less density etc. at 41k ft.

[julionica]

I wonder why they're flying too slow, only 226 knots at 41k ft

[odewepe]

FANTASTIC, WOWOW

[Jimkid118]

this made me want to become a pilot!

[CoolSpiffy1]

Where is the first officer ?

[TheBassPlayer1997]

@CoolSpiffy1 video taping

[NICEPUP1122]

I am so jealous of these guys.. :-(

[TheErikFasterling]

0:58 Coffin's Corner :D

[TheBoeing737Pilot]

@TheErikFasterling what does that mean?

[FA18pilot1]

@TheBoeing737Pilot A plane can only go so high, before it reaches Coffin Corner. This is where the plane's overspeed and stall speed are the same, thus, the plane's maximum hight. It is extremely rare to reach this point, mostly during testing or in simulators. You see here they have about 20-30kts before reaching this point.

[cossheisnmzenna]

@FA18pilot1 Is that because the air density is too low to fly the plane - i.e. not enough air particles to pass around the wing to keep it flying? Because the higher you go up, as your TAS increases, your KIAS decreases (lets say 320 KIAS at 16,000ft, and 225 KIAS at 38,000ft) then you are flying faster at 38,000ft - of course also depending on the windspeed and such

[sam9524]

Above where?

[jonny96]

@usmanchoudry The only thing that really affects the speed of sound is temperature.

[nukebuilder]

Really nice video :)

[Turbolad995]

How high can it go?

What would happen if you fly it higher than it's allowed... I don't imagine it would reach outer space? :P

[hyrrokinfamily]

@Turbolad995 41000 is basically the maximum height (or near) you're allowed to go : if you go higher, than you'll stall because you won't have enough thrust

[diegodaudt]

@hyrrokinfamily Isn't FL365 the maximum on -800s? I heard the Captain say in this video that they are using a -700.

[hyrrokinfamily]

@diegodaudt Both can reach FL410, they're quite the same

[tomtimex]

@hyrrokinfamily Completely NOT true. It can go much higher, but its for safety. IN the event of an emergency, the plane simply cannot descend fast enough from FL420 to FL180, (Oxygen levels.)

[hyrrokinfamily]

@tomtimex Why are you talking about oxygen levels ? I'd like to tell you that in a plane, you're not breathing the fresh 41000 feet air, when they close the door, the cabin is PRESSURIZED so they are not ANY levels, not like when you're scuba diving ... I tell you the maximum height it can reach is 41 000, because the performances are not as good higher ! (slower)

[Jigsaw407]

@hyrrokinfamily

Actually you do breath the air from 41,000 feet. The pressurization draws the air for compression from the bleed air of the engines, i.e.: outside. ;)

[hyrrokinfamily]

@Jigsaw407 You're right there but I mean you don't care abou any levels like in scuba diving :D

[Jigsaw407]

@hyrrokinfamily

What he probably meant was the oxygen levels of the emergency supply in case of a pressurization failure. That oxygen supply lasts fabout 12 minutes, if I recall correctly.

[maxou5757]

@hyrrokinfamily Well the cabin pressure is like if you were actually at 8000 feet. The new B787 will have is cabin pressure at 6000 feet !

[gspfan93]

@maxou5757 what does that mean? could you explain what that does if the pressure is at 6000 instead of 8000?

[damaged01]

@gspfan93 Lowe air pressure means more comfortable for the passengers. Normally, aircraft are pressurized to what you would feel at 8000ft above sea level. The new planes coming out are pressurized to 6000ft instead. Lower air pressure closer to what you feel on the ground means less ear popping and discomfort.

[Jigsaw407]

@tomtimex

Define "much higher", because at about FL460-FL480 the 737 will be really struggling to not stall. It's not a matter of oxygen (except maybe pressure differential limits for the hull) but of aerodynamics. You see that yellow line at the bottom of the speedband at 0:56, and that red dot below? These are the minimum maneuver speed and stall speed indicators. They will creep up higher and higher when the aircraft climbs. At 46,000 feet they will be almost at the max cruise speed.

[tomtimex]

@Jigsaw407 I am saying that the plane can fly higher than FL410, to the point of the Coffin Corner, but I am saying the if the plane had pressurization issues at Fl420, the plane simply cannot descend to FL180 in time.

[ScullBayProductions]

At the end when they are looking out the window on the port side (left) of the aircraft you can see the shadow of the Earth.

[400mat]

In a few years, this will be my office :)

[Knife715]

Does this have a HUD?

[paololol098]

@Knife715 yes it does :). you can see the HGS configuration panel in the pedestal s left side.

[cjracer1000]

Hey JCV, are you a pilot? How did you get in there?

[ikolkyo967]

Nicer then the A320

[SebastienDS]

@usmanchoudry

huh? air pressure is just lower , so 226kn is indicated airspeed , true airspeed will be 300+kn

[rocklobstaaa77]

This is just beautiful.

[rcacad]

nice



[xazns0ulx]

how come it is only 226 knots?

[philthompson1988]

"and here is our...o how did that archie comic get there"

[sayrith]

is it actually that loud?

[boeing737d]

Impressive! I can see the Canadian airports, O'hare airport, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Saint Louis, Buffalo in NY, and I think I did catch Detroit on MFD. This MFD also shows .77 mach, about 450-480 miles an hour, it has 352 nautical miles left, heading 110, that's eastward direction.  Man, Im so glad you guys film this with 1080p, its sharp. LOVE IT!!!

[FPTAKA21]

It's nice Video !!!

[MrHaun]

Talk about service ceiling. Right at the max.

[Flumerda]

RVSM !

[RZ3296]

It is FORBIDDEN to read for the pilot's own pleasure when in-flight, what was he thinking?

[03Wale]

@RZ3296 What the hell are you saying? It isn't a sterile cockpit as it was above 10000ft

[RZ3296]

@03Wale Yes, they were at their cruising atlitude and speed. But that does not allow the pilots to read comics and what not... The ONLY few things they're are allowed during a flight is to check over the flight plan and navigation charts, at the same time, checking over their instruments and making progressive calculations between waypoints, nearest airports/airfields and maybe having conversations whilst conducting these FAA proposed regulations and guidelines.

[03Wale]

@RZ3296 You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.Did you see 353nm to the next waypoint on the ND.The FMC makes the calculations and they just copy it from there,they can see their nearest waypoints on the ND.So you're saying they can't read anything not related to the flight?Tell me the specific FAR that quotes that the should only be checking charts throughout the duration of a flight.Oh,and Westjet is a Canadian airline.

[RZ3296]

@03Wale You are correct, the FMC and the ND does display the navigational data, therefore calculating the nearest airbase as soon as POS is pressed, BUT! Pilots still manually calculate it, WHY? Don't ask me, ask the FAA, I'm not just making some some false information... I seriously don't care about wth Westjet is tbh, ALL I CARE ABOUT IS QANTAS! =P

[03Wale]

@RZ3296 That's what i'm saying,there is no regulation against reading personal items when in cruise,i'm studying for my commercial license so i know this,an airline personally may ban it but the FAA has nothing against it.

[RZ3296]

@03Wale My bad, these small aspects and concerns are within the airlines control limits... =D

[kingshaun67]

i think it is the first officer who is holding the camera

[elskerstine]

Being a pilot is not a job, it's a dream come true!

[krogen42hull198]

The captain illegally doesn't have a mask on without the FO at his station. Way to advertise it.

[777fanboy]

@krogen42hull198 think the mask only has to be on above FL 410

[oscare76]

chingonnnn  coool!!

[bluekillz1994]

question: it looks like the gears aren't down, nor are they up, they're in the 'middle' position, can you tell me what that means please?

[juanfacu80]

@bluekillz1994 It's the [OFF] Position, it is used after the landing gear is up and retracted, it removes the hydraulic pressure from it.

[bluekillz1994]

@juanfacu80 Oh ok, thanks!

[youesteban22]

What is that thing that move that have white squares on 0:10?

[marlo1204]

@youesteban22 the trim control

[OmerMaz757]

Man that captain sure is nice!

[Semjochem]

what camera?

[artur4467]

fly westjet.com !!!

[HDPlaneSpotter]

225 Knots? thats it???

[Techinica]

@HDPlaneSpotter They're at FL410.... They're still doing mach .764. They'd probably have a ground speed of about 450kts with their tailwind too.

[HDPlaneSpotter]

@Techinica thats true



[artur4467]

@HDPlaneSpotter yeah cause the external air is thin air. so 225 knots is the airspeed. but u can see in the right panel the GS or ground speed. its your real speed. your speed that they were flying. 491 GS. its 491 MPH or 790 KM/h to me its very fast no ?

[HDPlaneSpotter]

@artur4467 no it is

[kostov9]

@artur4467 actually 491 refers to knots, so it is actually 565 MPH and 909 KM/h. Even faster baby!

[TheMiningWarrior]

@kostov9 I dont think 491 can be knots because the 737's limitation is 350 knots..

[kostov9]

@TheMiningWarrior there is no limitation in ground speed, only in air speed. Its is knots

[TheMiningWarrior]

@kostov9 Ah ok sorry i got confused :S i knew that limitations are endless on gorund i just mistaken The GS for Knots :)

[Davem151]

Why are u guys flying on Autopilot B?

[DreamboyCAT]

@Davem151 Provably the F/O is the pilot flying so it uses A/P B.

[Davem151]

@DreamboyCAT Ok thanks ;) Again learned something

[jassim4]

captain should wear the oxygen mask when the first officer not at his station above 26000 ft ....

[archer49d]

@jassim4 Sure, but nobody gives a shit.

[VGN737]

F/O is the pilot flying ! See the autopilot B is in command :)

[Youre1Garbage]

Where is the f/o?

[houshidar558]

@Youre1Garbage taking a leak im guessing

[trainfreak7745]

@Youre1Garbage he is the f/o

[bluekillz1994]

@Youre1Garbage probably filming?

[Ps3Dino013]

@Youre1Garbage filming.

[saranghaelove1]

@Youre1Garbage Maybe he's the one filming this?

[JayPattersonTV]

@Youre1Garbage Joe who is JVC dude asked the Steward to give his camera to the flight crew to film this and returned it to him later on.

[streetsurfer133]

@Youre1Garbage In the washroom having a shit
