Fantastic Landing Video

[AdamZ]

Great video of a 747 landing at KSFO from cockpit view. Interestingly this is almost exactly how it goes down when Gary and I are flying his Cherokee, Same systems, Same checks, only difference is that the Co-Pilots seat in Gary's Cherokee is not a powered seat like on the 47.

Yeah - pretty cool. It is neat to see the big boys still go through essentially the same checks and procedures as us little guys. (Or maybe it's the other way around?)

Do you guys have as much trouble not passing the 757 on the parallel?

Well if we bring it down to say 2200 rpm and a notch of flaps its not really a problem. Plus who ever is in the left seat can stick thier hand out the vent window for some extra drag if need be.

It can be kinda fun when the controllers at Madison have you landing on 14, and ask for best speed to clear rwy 18 for landing airbus traffic.

That's an awesome video!

I wish I had a plane that was quiet enough to use those headsets.....well, at least I now know that I could overtake a 747-400 on final quite easily

LOL!! Just need a bit of right rudder to keep the nose pointing down the runway.

Unfortuately the silicon gods that run the Corporate IT have deemed this site "banned", have to wait till I'm home to see it.

They banned a site called "Laughing Squid"? That's an insult to the Navy!

I have no idea what criteria they use to ban sites from viewing while at work. For quite a while POA was on the banned list. It took a sightseeing flight with one of the IT folks (and a bit of negotiation) to get POA back on my "viewable" list.

Obviously you didn't let him see the spin zone.

Their criteria may be a bit skewed. If you look at some of the comments between Jesse, Tony and Felix... one might suspect this site was based in San Francisco.

Great videos. I found it interesting that they briefed their departure altitudes in feet, not meters, considering they were flying in the UK and departing Heathrow!

Thanks for sharing!

Done it! :smile: They even had the early lead on us as they were over the marker established on about a 9 million mile final when we got turned on just outside the marker for the visual, but we still beat 'em and were established early! Long live the Mighty Beech!

Don't they use English measurements (feet/inHg) in the UK?

The only place meters is widely used is Russia, all the "stans", you know kazakstahn, uzbekistan, etc.. and China.

Nice! Nothing beats a high gear speed! I'm just hoping they'll tell me to keep my speed up. 200 knots to the OM!

Awsome vids. Cool to see how they follow the same things we are trained. Hmm a little over 360 Tons,... here we are in our cessna 127sp at just over 1 ton with full load.

It's even better when, at night with the TRACON closed and ZAU in charge, ATC tells you that you're going to arrive at the same time as one of the Airbussen, but you have a crazy tailwind, 209 knots grounspeed, and smoke 'em to the field so bad that you're on the South Ramp with your flight bag packed up when they finally touch down.
