CAT II ILS into Zurich low visibility

[PeteAA8GK]

I LOVE Switzerland! I would give anything to be there right now! I've spent most of my time in Sankt Gallen, but have been in Zurich a couple of times, too.

IS IT AUTOLANDING? 

[Maydayn1]

woooow.!! i said wow cuz its first time i see pilots landing completely on autopilot, before that i only saw a/p beeing disengaged just before the minimums..nice flying!!

Greetings

[piloterj195]

[zorbazig]

Fantastique ! Awesome ! Magnifico ! Great job !...

[siebenmann07]

@dnhug

Warum? Nix Illegales dabei!

[dnhug]

@siebenmann07 ich muss es runter nehmen. Meine frühen Vids sind alle ohne Wasserzeichen, eine Einladung für einige Viewers da draussen es einfach zu kopieren und erneut hoch zu laden.

Traurig aber wahr..

mfg, es kommt aber Ersatz dafür :)

Mfg, danke fürs vorbeischauen, dom

[snnezone]

nice.

[dnhug]

@snnezone thanks man!

[snnezone]

nice

[tastyryan]

@dnhug why take it offline?

[dnhug]

@tastyryan because my early stuff dowsnt have watermarks, and obviously some viewers think if its not watermarked , its not copyrighted. So many idiots just re-upload vids and think i wont find them.

So its a concequence realy.

Il replace all removed ones with edited versions.

cheers, thx for stopping by, dom

[tastyryan]

@dnhug ok that explains, i thought you offended the pilots or something by posting this vid.

Keep up the great work man! good stuff

[a340x]

I wonder why the landing lights aren't visible in the clouds and fog? Could it be that they do not put it on for the landing in low visibility so that they don't get disoriented?

[dnhug]

@a340x the landing lights are (in swiss) activated when stabilized, latest then.

Good Thought, but its standart ops to have landing lights, strobeand NAV Lights on for landing, if the pilots like it or not.I remember that in that landing the fog was so thick, the lower we got the better it got :)

greets, dom

[alnilam66]

thats some serious flying right there JA?

[dnhug]

@alnilam66 very serious :)

Thanks for stopping by,havve a good one!

[BlueWingsAG]

Brillant thanks!

[Garinb747]

Autolands are notorious for being rough. Thanks for uploading!

[MacartoChan]

Love it when the nose wheel touches the ground and the Pilot goes like " WAHHHH"

[hagios9]

"waaah!" haha.pilots are so cool

[amandeuce]

hey. schaffsch du irgendwie bi de SWISS oder am ZRH-Airport dases immer is Cockpit schaffsch? ;-)

wür gern mal en jumpseat flight mache, weiss aber nid wie..

cooli vids hesch!

[Swissflier101]

perfect landing. especially in such low visibility!

nice video!

[patryk7771]

I like Whaaaaa during touchdown... Very funny ;D

Do You remember RVR for this landing?

[NicuMD11]

wow.. what a landing!! =)

[slaneyboi]

Hey, when the guy says retard, what does that actually mean cos ive heard it loads but have no clue, and id love your job!

[dnhug]

@slaneyboi

That callout is "reminding" the crew to take the Autothrust from the climb detend to Idle.The Autothrust will continue to maintain the speed if you dont reduce the thrust to Idle and you will end up flying with the landing speed at flare height.

hope it helped , thx for commenting!

cheers

[amandeuce]

hey. supergeils video ! 5*

mache gad SPHAIR, ha im april de kurs und wett nach de matura denn mal bi SAT istiege ;) miis gröscht ziel isch hauptsächlich mal pilot bi de swiss, später denn langstrecki A340 :-)

[Turkorican1978]

@amandeuce ha grundsätzlich e frog, wie gsehts eigentli mir dr Altersbegränzig für

ATPL Lizänz us gits nach obe e Altersbegränzig?Wenn jä bi wellere Airlines? Isch es möglich nach dr Privatpilotelizänz dATPL Lizänz z'erwärbe? Hoff du kasch mr do e Antwort gä

Gruess

[amandeuce]

@Turkorican1978

hey.

eehm bi mer au nid ganz sicher! bi de SAT chasch ja d ATPL mache, muesch glaub 20gi si, und wend di den bi de SWISS wilsch bewerbe muesch au 20gi si mindischten, meint ich! also wend ATPL wilsch mache chasch das bi de SAT mache, wen zu de swiss gasch wirsch sogar teilfinanziert. isch hald e rechte huufe geld wo da muesch zahle. nach de ppl chasch sicher d ATPL mache.

hesch de d PPL scho gmacht? ;-) lg

[Turkorican1978]

@amandeuce Hy.. also nach obe use kai Altersbegränzig..isch SAT e schwyzer Flugschuel? Jo sicher dass mit der Teilfinanzierig macht z.B. Lufthansa jo au so, Nai i ha dr PPL nit aber mi Kolleg isch ATPilot bi Alitalia, i weiss dä so öbbe 150'000 Euro het müesse aneblättere, bi uns in dr Basler Flugschuel zahlsch 19'000-20'000.- für PPL, das Gäld muesch zerscht au mol ha :-) Nach PPL ATPL grundsätzlich möglich dänk ich au... Gruess usem Baselbiet and happy landings

[amandeuce]

@Turkorican1978

lg

[amandeuce]

@Turkorican1978 bi google chasch iigää swiss-aviation-training nah chunsch uf d website! chönnt der helfe.

[ozzyreca]

Sehr geiles video!

Ich hab ne kleine frage, findest du dass Swiss AviationTraining eine gute möglichkeit ist, wenn ich pilot sein werde??

[dnhug]

Die SAT ist meiner Meinung nach eine der besten Adressen um die Pilotenlaufbahn zu beginnen.

Wenn Du fragen hast, bin ich dir gern behilflich.

gruss, dominic

The ruff landing (when nose wheel hits ground) was the effect of the autoland.

When you land the A330-XXX and A340-300 (the only aircraft I have been flying in the airbus series) you pull the stick back (when wheels touch the ground), to get a rely soft landing. You should set auto brake to low instead of medium if strip is not to short.

In this case he had the auto brake set to low but the stick is locked when autopilot is enable so he cant pull the stick back

[loco1113]

nice videos dude!!!!

ich flüge am 31. dez vo zrh uf bkk gits da echt en möglich keit binere landig im cockpit zhocke? weis das öper???

[dnhug]

hey dude,

thanks for your comment!

Leider gsehts sehr düschter uus für nicht flüügends personal is cockpit zgah... :-(

Es mues e "Flight deck permission" uusgfüllt werde, und em BAZL vorgleit werde.

Isch jedesmal es riiiise gschiss-

wännt de captain nöd kännsch : unmögli.

sorry dude, enjoy bkk and the 343!

cheers , dom

[loco1113]

danke für die info.... auch wen sie nicht erfreulich war.... als ich klein war, war das nie ein problem ein blick reinzuwerfen aber seit dem 11.sep ist das wohl vorbei. ist ja aber au ganz gut so...

hei cooli videos witer so

[dnhug]

in der tat, sit em 9/11 isch schwirig. Evtl chasch am Bode gschwind en blick inewerfe- wänn mich passagier fröged klappeds meistens für e fotitour is flightdeck zgah.

merci fürde comment,

bis gli, cheers dom

[vidpt001]

How long does it take to get to crusing altitude out of Hong Kong?

The A340 would be close to max takeoff weight on this sector

Im doing this flight at the end of December

[dnhug]

Hy there,

whith full payload we reach the first cruising altitude (FL. 300 - FL320 ) after about 20 minutes.

Later, when more fuel is burned and the 343 is leighter, we climb upto FL440.

Yes we are close to the weight limits there.

cheers, enjoy HKG!!

[Almini1]

I have to say that FL 410 is a more normal cruse altitude then FL 440.

[dnhug]

440 is max cruising altitude for that sector.

As you know cruise alt does varie.

cheers

[vidpt001]

Thanxs heaps mate for the information, cant wait to get to switzerland :) The A340 is a beautiful aircraft flying airbus all the way from Australia to europe

[dnhug]

welcome mate, hope you catch a sunny day when arriving in ZRH :-)

Glad you liked the vid, safe (airbus) flights :-) ,

cheers man, dom

[canadafast]

wow, very rough landing, i guess the nose took very hard pounding down the runway.

[dnhug]

it looks worse on the vid then it felt in the flight deck, but your right..

all the nice flare-ing can be distroyed when you try to get the nose down slowly :-)

aswell, they did pavement construction on that runway..

cheers man

[habbsterr]

sweet

[773ER14]

I like the moan when the front wheels hit the runway!

Rgds James

[Sueni]

very impressive how the runway shows up and how the runway lights shine, you can see just the runway and nothing else like in a tube....! VERY NICE

[Moestimportant]

Excellent! Eifach schön, zum Schwiizerdütsch ghöre im Cockpit. Top videos dnhug!

[airberlinPilot28]

Lol ^^ Bei 2:40 wars witzig. Schönes Video ;) 5 Sterne ^^

[FSpieter]

Impressive how the runway shows up in the fog =D

[gesnut]

was isch da am bode los??

[dnhug]

wie meinsch..? Es hät enorm dichte näbel gha, unds bugrad isch echli heftig uft pischte "zuecho" :-)

Wie gahts dir alte.-.?

mfg, las eus gli mal was mache, evtl nach mim JFK.(das gits next video!!)

cheers dude!

[youtrein]

Very nice video! Bad visibility!

[gesnut]

man ich bi mängisch soo ifersüchtig ;-) cheerio simon

[cypriotpilot]

that sounded like a hard landing!Even the pilots were not satisfied with the autoland!

[dnhug]

well the touchdown was alright, but as the front wheel came down it was a bit rough. They are working on this runway since quit some time now, i don't know if the old pavement had something to do with it or not..

cheers and thanks for rating mate!!

[cypriotpilot]

ohh i see!Thanks for the info!Happy Landings

[dnhug]

youre welcome mate, take care, cheers, dom
