  • Nice video!

  • Nice Video

  • do u know what it takes to be a pilot i wanna be a pilot for FDX here at MEM

  • Thats definently Dulles Intl

  • My Home Airport of Dulles IAD

  • hes taking the autopilot off late because hes extremely lazy... taking it off at minimums in VMC??? whats the point if your not in IMC??? BORINGGG. the plane is on autopilot 98% of the time, might as well have some fun. any real pilot would have hand flown that. BTW @rdrd4544 its on the inner right side of the yoke, It's a 3 way toggle swtich

  • A great video. Entirely accurate. If you want to learn more, then checkout

  • What's that EICAS caution message hanging out there?

  • why take the AP off so late

  • @LockerzUnlocked PILOTS SOMETIMES DO THIS TO GET THE SMOOTHEST LANDING POSSIBLE THATS WHY HE TOOK AUTOPILOT OFF LATE.

  • CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

  • why not ;-) but seriously it really doesn't matter, if pilots want to hand fly that's fine if they don't that's why the AP is there

  • @LockerzUnlocked ILS landing you can let ap do it down to 200ft i think is legal AP limits

  • Awesome video, thanks for posting

  • if the pay sucks for a pilot at a regional carrier, then what do the mechanics make? im trying as we speak now to get on at a regional carrier as a mechanic. i live for this shit and it wouldnt matter to me if they were only paying minimum wage. god bless these pilots for making it all possible

  • i love this plane

  • wat airport was this

  • what airline?

  • Mesa

  • Hey man, hope you're surviving the furloughs... it sounds like it's not going to be as many as Paul Foley said it was going to be. It'll probably be a year or more before I'm called back...

  • KIAD right?

  • Yes that is correct

  • That captains a bit old to be at Mesa no? Feel sorry for that guy.

  • There are janitors (the folks tha clean toilets) that make A LOT MORE money than this.

    Whats wrong with THAT picture???

  • everything, lol.

  • Is this at Dulles?

  • Yes it is

  • Isn't that pathetic? You are responsible for 50 or so lives flying for the poverty level of pay but driving a semi by yourself you get 4 times that amount with little liability?

  • Tell me about it they should be starting at 80K as a f/o

  • Bullshit, When you're driving a Semi by yourself you have the responsibility of everyone on the road around you, I could easily end anyones life in a SECOND on the road by the turn of my wheel, crossing into opposing traffic etc.. 80k lbs on a road going 60mph is no joke people, you all may think its all simple but its NOT

  • Nobody is saying that driving a truck is a joke, the point we were making is that you are flying as a 1st officer and responsible for 50 lives at a time and considering all the schooling and flight hours you have to log just to get to be a 1st officer then you only start out at $18,000 a year is pathetic, truck drivers are just as responsible but get paid alot more. Not undermining your job at all, I have great respect for truck drivers and all you guys do! Thanks!

  • The despairity in pay is pathetic, but I knew that going in. I was a tractor trailer driver who became an airline pilot. I tried to survive on low pay and extended periods of time away from home. I had hoped the time to move over to the left seat would be no more then 3 years, but the economy has slowed that to possibly 5 years. God bless the guys and girls who are able to stick it out and hold onto their dreams. Be extra nice to them the next time you fly on any airline.

  • wow that's crazy! what about all the cost of learning to fly? Also have thought of working abroad?I have heard guys doing that and after 5-6 years they plan on returning to the U.S and get a job with the big boys like SW. The cool thing is they get to fly 37's and 320'S and they are only in their 20's! should look into it.

  • I flew the CRJ200 for Air Wisconsin and the EMB 145/140/135 for American Eagle. I was based at KLGA/KPHL/KDCA. I loved flying so much, but I gave it up to go back to driving tractor trailers for a living. I made $16,500 a year at both airlines and was a first officer for both airlines. I worked at for 10 months at both airlines. I am now making $60,000 a year as a local tractor trailer driver.

  • hard to believe these guys only make about $17,000 a year isn't it?

  • No kidding

  • What is the difference between final and short final?

  • Final is when you turn facing the runway from the base, short final is just a few seconds from actual touch down on the runway...

  • Flawless landing. I kept waiting for the annunciator saying "100"..."40".."30"..."20" and such. O welp, not on the jet.

  • nice, he came straight it

  • nice video my friend flys for ASA in Atl.

  • Gotta love Bombardier aircraft. Canadian made FTW!

  • I hate them i hate the quiet engines

  • KDCA is it? Nice Landing!

  • Great vid! Are you one of the crew in this video?

  • Nope, a friend let me post this, I just like the landing... Makes you feel like you are right in the cockpit with them.

  • Great vid! Are you one of the crew in this video?

  • what airport was that? i couldnt catch it on the communications

  • Dulles in D.C.

  • Well not actually in D.C. as some jerk off pointed out to me and ended up on my block list, but close enough... Just put D.C. because it's the biggest freaking city there!!

  • how did you slow down that fast?

  • A CRJ-200 is a really small aircraft, its basically a business jet converted to a commuter. My dad is a mechanic for Delta ASA's CRJ-200, accasionally they get other CRJ variants.

  • Thanks for posting the video, it's always nice to see my hometown big airport from the cockpit of a CRJ.

    As for the person asking about the runway 1L and 1C, Runway 1C is now what used to be runway 1L. they added a third North/South runway so the one he's landing on in this video was 1L at the time but is now 1C

    correct everybody? I haven't flown into IAD in a long time

  • Correct. The old 1L is now 1C, and the new runway is 1L.

  • I just posted the video for ENTERTAINMENT and PLANE LOVERS, not to bring out every critic from all over the freaking world... Just enjoy!!!

  • Thanks for the awesome post. This is my dream career. Ignore the critics because they are usually the ones who don't actually fly in real life.

  • Well, I found it entertaining. I'm flying on one of these next month out of Lewiston, ID. Never been on one of these planes before.

  • very small! i went on one from cincinnatti to huntsville, and from hunstville to antlanta. 4 seats across, 13 rows!

  • For the love of Christ!!! I changed it to a CRJ-200 for all you NIT-PICKING "right seat experts" out there!!!!

  • Its a CRj200 landing on IAD on 1C by Mesa Airlines. I think landing was a little off since 50 feet callout should of been at the threshold if he was flying a 3 degree glidepath and touchdown at the 1,000 foot marker instead of 1,500.

  • it says 1L but idk about the rest of what you said

  • Actually...the 1000 foot markers are a visual aiming point, touchdown may and normally occurs further down the runway. Not sure what your experience is, but centerline and within touchdown zone (first 3000 ft) is all that really matters on most runways...Flying these is a little different than a cessna...only problem w/ this vid is the poor guys are stuck at mesa...

  • nice landing. i am soon going to fly the CRJ 400 for Air canada JAZZ

  • nice landing

  • Dulles airport

    1L

  • For all you clowns commenting on this video. It was Mesa Airlines (hence "airshuttle" callsign) the landing was in Washington Dulles (hence the runway 1L (now 1C) and the runway 30 crossed over just before touchdown) The radar altimeter callout went "50" to "touchdown" because of the rate of decent prior to landing. If it cant keep up with the callouts, it doesnt give them. The landing was fantastic, some would call it 'non standard' due to descent rate, however it was very nice.

  • i don't understand why u are calling them clowns for asking where this airport was.

  • well sorry for not being as familiar with the airport as you are.

  • Mesa Airlines

  • not a 700. look at the standby attitude indicator....

  • are you going to tell the pilot who flies the plane what plane he flies. it is a 700

  • take it there pal. since your on the right seat attitude like that won't get you to the left.Currently I am a line check airman on 700 and 900NG. Also I thought that the 700's and have an ISIS not the old fasion SAI. And since I have jumpseated on MESA few times back when i was based in ORD did not see that kind of layout on their 700's. And I don't think so you are the pilot flying it. best of luck.

  • im not the pilot. but thanks for yelling at me

  • Thats for sure Mesa Airlines. Probably United Express.

  • how do pilots know when and where they re flying next???????

  • landing cvg, via comair?

  • I'm not sure... Actually a friend let me use this I will get back with an update

  • mycars, the runway was 50 ft above sea level

  • oh i understand

  • NO thats not true the gpws (ground proximity warning system) monitors an aircraft's height above ground as determined by a radar altimeter. So it gives high above ground not sea level. And as soon2bpi said "just depends on the airline, or specific plane" trust me i should know.

  • you know...he was partially right...embraer's don't call out below 100 ft. AGL... at least the 145

  • how fast was he going when he exited, looked fasted

  • i don't get it.... 50ft.........touchdown.what happened to 50,40,30,20,10

  • its different for different airlines, some go 50,40,30,20,10 others don't if you've seen an airtran 717 it goes 50,40,30,20,10,5, just depends on the airline, or specific plane.

  • wow that guys arm is very hairy and also that was a beautifull landing...

  • very beautiful video and,thanks 4 posting!

  • If you can't resist the urge to be an asshole with your comments, I will have them removed and report you as spam.. This goes for you moonshine or moonsuck...whatever your name was..
