Switching from autopilot to manual.

I am amazed when I see videos like this. Huge pieces of machinery like that, all controlled by two highly trained people operating all of those knobs, switches, controls, computers....it's mind boggling to me, and very impressive!

True, mostly the copilot is on the way to the dest. the Pilot Flying, and the captain back. It's no rule but mostly the captain asks on the CP if he wants to do the first or second flight. And mostly first is choosen because copilots don't want to land on their home airport and captains doesn't care if they land on TNCM (Sint Maarten) or EHAM (Amsterdam). They did already hundreds of landings

@felipegames12 it really is a stupid rule. Cameras dont interfere with anything onboard the aircraft. If it was a serious issue, then wouldn't it just make sense to not allow cameras in carry on luggage?

BA is using the 777 to Rio de janeiro.

@BrenoGraciano BA id guess from the crews accent. haha

[brahiam13]

Yeah, it must be a BA 777, at 0:06 their accent sound quite British.

It is much more difficult to program a VCR than to fly one of these airplanes.

How do I know? I fly one. It is very boring.

[BrenoGraciano]

Which airline?

[felipegames12]

I don't understand,when the crew captain say the rules of the flight,like:Turn of the cell phone,turn of the video cameras,etc...so,how this guy(of the camera) is making a video of this landing?With his camera turned ON....how it's possible?

@ThePilotBuddy well basically there are three different procedures: Cat I( about 2500 ft), Cat II ( about 1200 Ft and Cat III which is 500 ft but there's also the CAt IIIc, it's generally used when the visibility is 0/0 and you only disconnect the autopilot after you've landed. Unless there's no visibility at all, manual landings are way safer simply because you have a human being at the controls, not a computer.
