  • Are first officers allowed to taxi?

  • He will reach up to turn off the taxi lights, an ASR must be filed if you turn onto stand with lights on and blind the marshaller. I presume that's where they are on a bus.

  • Great vid! Thx m8 :) Finally i know Easyjet's cost index. Was lookin' that for ages )))

  • What is it??

  • It is one little nasty thing in FMS which is not really easy to find, especially if u do not know where to look...but anyway, I dont think, that it will be intresting 4ya m8...it's aviation terminology, that cost index i mean, u dont need it, believe me ))

  • No I mean what is the number. I am a flightsimn enthusiast so I know what it means but I just couldn't find the number.

  • Ahh, thats what lol...ok then. 19 is that number. U will see it on 0:41 on the FMS. It will be INIT page opened there, and that number is above cruising FL390.

  • We not longer use a CI of 19 on the bus

  • @pilotDH6 How do you know? R u flying for easyjet now?

  • brillant video!!!

  • how did you get in the flightdeck? do you have a job that would alow you to do so or did you just ask?

  • the Civil Aviation Authority sattes that no passengers may be in the flight-deck whilst the aircraft is in the air

    This video then, is probably filmed by a member of the cabin crew, air traffic controller, engineer, etc...

  • Actually, I was on United flight 884 KORD to RJAA (772ER) and the nice flight attendant though I was adorable. So she let me tour the cockpit. I was 13 and I was flying by myself to visit my grandfather. I stayed in the cockpit for atleast 40 minutes. We talked about how they stayed on the center line while taxiing and approach charts. Pretty cool!

  • I'm referring to a UK registered aircraft in UK airspace.

    Not sure what the rules are in different countries

  • Oh okay

  • At that time I was a technologist at an avionics company. I gave a pilot a tour of our simulators and he invited me to see the real thing.

  • Very interesting video. Must have been nice...

  • Great video!!!!!

    Nice to see a vid of an EZY cockpit!

    I hope to fly for EZY one day!

  • Is it true EZY pilots have to do about 4 flights a day?

  • I am not sure. It obviously depends on the length of the flight. I would imagine they could do a few london-manchester movements a day.

  • Hey, is there a longer version of the video available? There's a few places where it cuts to a different scene.

  • Unfortunately not. I shot it hand held with a limited number of shots and then removed that which was too shaky.

  • Its depends which sector there flying, for instance most airlines will use there pilots for a return leg (Birmingham - ibiza then ibiza - birmingham) In one day (Or night), It depends on the airline and the route i.e short or long haul, Easyjet pilots are usally home the same day because they only do short haul regonal sectors.

  • Some days a crew do up to 6 per day, some as little as 1 or 2....it all depends on many factors. FTL (Flight Time Limitations) dictate what flight and cabin crew are permitted to work

  • At around 3:40, just after turning onto the stand the Capt appears to switch the APU on and makes a comment along the lines of "ooops, I forgot to do something, taxi slowly!" (which would allow time for it to spool up) Anyone else notice that? It shows how easy it is to forget simple things when you're engaged in a bit of banter or showing off for someone in the jumpseat. Quite useful for people on CRM courses I reckon.

  • Funny I never noticed that until now! It might have been the navigation lights or something were on and he did not want to dazzle the ground crew. (The captain reaches to the overhead panel to do something.)

  • On my holiday coming back from alicante the engine fans were spinning even though the engines were not started and it was not even windy any body have any ideas as why that is?

  • Hi there! I work for easyJet on the ground at Bristol and have seen this neumorous times and actually asked a captain once.

    All it is is the engine blades continuing to slow down and loose momentum after they have been shut down. They have to slow down at there own pace and this can take ages to do. So it isn't anything bad and you wont get sucked into the engines.

    Regards

    Passenger Services Agent for easyJet at Bristol Airport

  • thanks

  • As well as slowing down after shut down, they can also be spinning because of the wind. Sometimes you can see one engine spinning while the engine on the side that is shielded by the fuselage is stopped.

  • hehehe im guna be in alicante in just 14 hours!

  • great video

  • Me and my family travel quite frequently on this flight. We only live down the road from gatwick and have relatives in spain.

  • those poor LGW boys, they do get up early dont they! ;)

  • Hehe I am hoping to get in the cockpit on my supernumery t/o and landing.. I'll be out 'observing' in the cabin for the rest I suppose...

  • How did you get into the flight deck?

  • We invited the pilots play with our simulator and they invited me to visit the real thing.

  • that's a great deal :-)

  • Thanks for the vid :)

  • reminds me of last years holiday, i was glued to the window looking out:)

  • You based at Gatwick with EZY? I may have flown with ya!

  • Loved the video!! Really Nice, Well Done

  • very nice, hw did you get clearance to film in the cockpit? i thought since 9/11 there was a ban on allowing all ppl other than flight crew in there, n e way, non the less, very nice video, try film more like this cz its a very clear video of everything in there such as fmgs, efis, etc... :P

    peace

  • Hehe, forgot to turn the taxi light off turning on stand, blinded the poor marshaller!

  • Thats Great video..

  • amazing video, man ...

  • i swear when they leave its sunset, yet when they arrive its sunrise, yet its only a 2 hour flight from gatwick to alicante. hmmm

  • I can't remember exactly but it was about 6AM departure and an 8AM arrival. (Highly approximate!)
