u sound like ur doing a testimonial incase the plane crashes!

[jeanpierred]

I love that one

[deltaboy767]

I think the pilot needs to goo back to flying school, come on man seriously, I know i have decreasd thrust, once i have reached a certain altitude and set it to climb, but this guy keep increasing and decreasing, during climb out. If you set the thrust percent to climb you should be able to climb just fine. From a pilto's point i can tell he is an amateur with the 777-300.

[jeanpierred]

Thanks for your opinion, I'm not a pilot (I wish I were one) so I don't know what to say though the flight was a really smooth one. You might be a pilot on a 767

[deltaboy767]

And 777. You can get your qualification on both aircrafts, as the 67 77 are almost identical on the instruments.

[jeanpierred]

I also think that the 757 is also identical to the 767 and consequently to the 777... The 757 is so far my favourite plane

[theoneoflight]

that looked really comfortable and smooth. I almost fell asleep watching

[SirDeanosity]

@deltaboy767 Possibly the throttling up and down my be to control the altitude as the pilot weaves his way through the traffic near the airport until he in the clear and on his route to the destination. I remember the same throttling up and down around Minneapolis, MN and Orange County in CA when I macro commuted to CA in 2004 and 2005.

yeah when I was flying from london to vancouver on an air canada a330 (didn't get a 777 even though it was summer las year =S) we levelled of at 6000ft. for about 5 or 6 minutes before continuing...gave lots of time to see london..

I LOVE PLANES!!! ive only ever been on 2 planes ( to france and back) and on the way there i had a big plane and back i had a small plane ( sorry i dont know what they are called lol!!!) coming back we were above the clouds and it started raining, but when we got underneath the clouds it stopped!!! it was so weird not sure if it had just stopped rainig or if it was raining between the louds and not underneath ( dont know if this can happen???)

[TheRealGervais]

I know a pilot who does that route, he say's London is an amazing sight when landing, you go right over central London.

at 4 mins you see the new terminal 5 and at 4.50 you can see my HOUSE, SCHOOL and you go right over Windsor Castle!!!!!!!

Hi most traffic out of Heathrow are initially cleared to 6000ft which is the transition alt in the UK.

[jerrylee76]

I'm not a frequent flyer so I'm surprised by the contrast between low level rain clouds and the high altitude blue sky. really what a difference.

[ChrisCooper312]

It sounds very much like he's levelling out, most likely at Fl70 which is what all flights out of Heathrow are cleared to initially. Whilst controller try to give planes a constant climb, it's often not possible, especially in busy airspace like around Heathrow. Since it starts to climb almost straight away, probably just a busy controller with other priorities than giving extra climb. Not exactly the end of the world. Likely get stopped again at Fl130 so as to stay under Compton Sector anyway.
