Boeing 747-400 Cockpit Takeoff in LAX

[miara1979]

couldn't agree with deephesh more, it's clearly a 747

[deepesh9097]

It is not a Boeing 747-400,it is single aisle twin jet engine airplane,see the throttle levers,Boeing 747 has FOUR throttle levers

[Kenny9131991]

@deepesh9097 Look at the center display. Four engine indications. That would be a 747.

[ckrailvideo]

@deepesh9097 Ummm.. that's very clearly a 747-400.

[InuKun2008]

@undpilot87 Save for regional jets such as the CRJ-200&700, as well as the Emb-145 which due to their weight restrictions combined with weather and runway lengths at various airports, often do use Full Power takeoffs. Hence why many regional carriers require the crew to identify whether the takeoff was a Full or Flex power takeoff. But they will reduce power after the set positive rate of climb has been achieved.

[AcepilotC172]

what airline is this???

[mharrop396]

how do they know how much to rotate w/o hitting the rear fuselage...

[squiddy820]

I am assuming the pilot in control never takes his hands off the throttle in case of the need for a take off abort?

[UAL1200]

@squiddy820

Correct. In fact, if the throttles are let back before V1, the autobrake will kick-in and help stop the plane. After V1, the plane is going too fast and used up too much runway to stop, so it's committed for takeoff. It's standard procedure for the pilot to remove his hand from the throttles at V1 and place it on the yoke. You can see this at 1:23

[Ryanyarb24]

@squiddy820 Generally speaking yes.

[crazyfox564]

at 2:39 im fallin off my seat !!!

[Trevo711]

lmao at the co-pilots voice!

[DennisH8706]

my ears are popping just from watching this video.

[LY7610]

What did the pilots say @0:38 - 0:45 ??

[UAL1200]

@LY7610

"Looks pretty stable to me"

During takeoff, throttles are advanced to 60-70% power to stabilize the engines for takeoff. Once stable, the pilot presses the Takeoff/Go-Around (TOGA) switches on the throttle, then the computer takes over and spools up the engines to computed thrust setting based on runway length, atmosphere, weight, etc.

"Thrust-ref, TOGA, TOGA"..."Check"

Copilot verifies activation of the TOGA switches and computer has control. Pilot confirms.

[ImTheMan63]

@LY7610 it's pretty stable to me.

[computer305]

is that female co-pilot?

[Marineperson]

@computer305 no its a chode



[randomstuff5464]

25R?

[bushydream125]

heart touching, beautiful moment wish if could get a chance to fly one of these planes only for once in a lifetime......!

[yejiadong]

are u a pilot?

[nathanfishing3000]

pilot is livin my dream

[sfflyer123]

Great video!

[MrMatt828]

Why are the computer screens flickering?

[seriousfisherman3]

@MrMatt828 They're only flickering in the video...to the pilots, they look normal. Not sure, but I think it has something to do with fps recording speed of the camera and the high resolution of modern digital displays. If anybody knows for sure, I'd love to hear..

[msvisio]

@MrMatt828 - try recording a TV screen or your computer screen it will behave the same way. Its only on the camera for what ever reasons. To human eye it looks normal.

[thebestf15skyhawk]

Why are the gauges/screens flickering?



[LuckyBambooExpert]

@thebestf15skyhawk There not, its just the camcorder used to film.

[cinipaes]

NiceVideo!! it`s B747-400F (Frighter)

[bermuge]

does the pilot have the plane at full power the entire time he's climbing out? i'm curious since in fsx, i keep shooting past 250 knts before 10,000 ft unless i lower thrust early in the climbout.

[mrblujet]

You can tell that this aircraft is carrying a pretty good load based on where the rotation-point was.

[op3l]

Wow you really can't see much out of those windows can you? Do these commercial pilots use IFR or VFR mostly?

[5150dhbiker]

You can actually see quite well. Any time you're above 18,000ft you have to be on an IFR flight plan. Technically every airline flight is filed as IFR even if it's flown during 100% visual conditions.

[astoniz]

what is IFR and VFR ??

[traineepilot57]

@astoniz VFR-Visual Flight Rules

IFR-instrument flight rules

[teddy96]

@astoniz IFR means Instrument flight rules

VFR means visual flight rules.

they have rules for practically everything in aviation industry

[ljotczik]

IFR

[ALSTALA]

It is a Singapore Airlines Cargo 747-400F... His callsign was 'SinCargo 7970 Heavy'

[27Riverdale27]

What is his call sign? I can't hear it..

[Fighter3694]

long and fast take-off

[The747Captain]

the 747 was heavy cuz the take off was longer than 40 second.

[andrescaraudio]

whats the speed at 40 seconds?

[SuperMcfly12]

thats not a very accurate reason lol. nice try

[SFConifer]

great video you feel up close and personal

[PhilPhysix]

HAHA i think you should know that this a 747-400

there is no other aircraft with a cockpit which looks like that and even the other 747s (200/300) don´t have that cockpit layout(no displays)... just the 747-400F .. but that´s a 747-400 too

so please think a bit more about that what you are writing;)

[AviationNation787]

Trust me, that's a 747-400. If I'm not mistaken the -400 model is the only model to have CRT screens installed in the cockpit rather than analog instruments.

[tomywomydoodle]

@AviationNation787

Im pretty Sure the 747-8 Will have Digital screens

[AviationNation787]

@tomywomydoodle

I know. All models of the 747 starting with the -400 have glass cockpits.

[Frogger564]

hey it is a 747 i fly them a lot on flight simulator!!!

[camerongoll]

@Frogger564 I fly them in real life

[LJOD522]

@camerongoll lucky B****

[prostar2236]

R.E.T.A.R.D.

!

[mattyflyboy01]

how did u get in the cockpit

[gary747pilot]

wat a dumbass

[AirWillie]

Holy crap they used almost the whole runway.

[gary747pilot]

dats wat day pose to do cuz b747s r heavy (duh)

[AtomicSubTech]

what language are you writing in pilot? ghetto language?

[triple7man]

Nice video in cockpit. What airline was this and where was this flight going to?

[encinitasmel]

"Sincargo" callsign is Singapore Airlines Cargo .. don't know the destination could be Dallas with a left turn off 25R, they list Dallas, Anchorage and Singapore as destinations out of LAX.

[camerongoll]

@encinitasmel i think it would dallas aswell with that left turn after departure oof of 25r

[camerongoll]

@camerongoll out of 25R

[MeAndMyM14]

@camerongoll y would they be going to dallas? its a 747 not a 737. they dont need a 747 to make it to dallas

[LoSamZayin]

@MeAndMyM14 If it is a cargo aircraft especially from a foreign country, they fly one plane in and it makes several stops. Like a huge cargo ship stopping between several close ports, not all the cargo is offloaded and replaced at each port, only a portion of it, times the number of ports it reaches. If it goes to A, B, C, D, and E, the simplest example would be that 1/5 of the originating cargo from Country X is deposited at each, and each of A, B, C, D and E contribute 1/5 back to country X.

[carbon4me]

Thank you for sharing. The video provides an opportunity to better understand the communication and teamwork in the cockpit.

What was the arrival city?

Thanks again.
