As a fixed wing IFR pilot, dual autopilot means one pilot channel & one copilot channel. Understand what helicopter 4-axis AP is. What does Airbus mean by dual-duplex 4-axis AP i.e whar does the duplex refer to? Duplex electrical bus? Thanks.

Beautiful fighter jet, brilliant pilot, corrupt and ineffective government.

Probably the most beautiful helicopter ever made..

120kts ias :(

هذه الطائرة حينما يرى شخص غبي أدائها المبتذل في الحركات البهلوانية يظن أنها مبتذلة لكنها من أحسن الطائرات المقاتلة المتعددة الخدمات

What is the registration of this aircraft?

That kulula 737 ZS-ZWD Ive flown on that same 1 before in 2013.looks alot different now with the white nose and double winglets

You just have to love Airbus

What did you do with those upper switches at the 1:40?

Great videography Much appreciated thanks As a former 35mm anti aircraft gunner I can say very well done on your ‘marksmanship’ 🤩

I was last at Virginia Airport some 50 years ago!

Don't get me, wrong guys, i am not saying that the Grippen is a bad plane. It's just I am dreaming of the days when the SAAF Mirages III CZ, and Mirages F-1 CZ, AZ as well the Cheetahs all in their beautiful camouflage colors flow over the skies of South Africa those were the days.

Voel assof die swede geweet het wat ons wil he...

Is it just me, or does it appear to be that someone is in the car waving? Really hope not!!

SPARTAAAAAN ! ! ! ! The first SAAF display pilot in SA to do the 4 point hesitation roll.

Why the gloves?

I see the problem. He turned the wheel in the direction of the grass.

5 bae hawk t2 aircraft give me i need

The F16 has for almost half a century been the plane to beat. Since the 70s when it came it has been a success, both as an air superiority fighter due to very good aerodynamics and a very good T/W ratio and also as a striker aircraft due to the high payload it can carry. It is a plane loved not only by the pilots but by most all with some insight in this industry. Just looking at the specifications of the F16 it seems that it is equal and in some aspects better than the Gripen but nothing can be further from the truth. And this is more or less independed on version of both F16 and the Gripen. Depending on configuration and version the F16 has an equal or higher T/W ratio, but one needs to consider the wing load and the drag too. The Gripen has much lower drag and far lower wing load. The transonic area is much narrower for the Gripen and it can reach supersonic speeds on dry thrust while carrying a full A2A armament and an external fuel tank even for the A version even if it is just on the limit (Mach 1.1) Gripen E Mach 1.2. Even though the Gripen in some aspects lacks the TWR of the F-16 it can match or nearly match the climb rate thanks to low drag. When curving Gripen hardly lose any energy which makes it a serious adversary in any merge against any modern fighter including the Typhoon and the F-22. The T/W ratio might not be impressive on the Gripen but in combination with the extremely good aerodynamics, low drag and low wing load it can turn inside anything in the air today, The F16 is no match. How about BVR? The latest F16 Block 70 has all the bells and whistles identifying it with modern “4+ gen” fighter and is on some arenas (India) competing with the Gripen E and even seems to win that race. Which only show how little capability is involved in theses affairs compared to politics. The block 70 is a CPR on a plane that no longer can compete with modern fighters in the air superiority arena. It is limited to the NATO armament and will likely not be upgraded to include any development of those. Gripen on the other hand can be configured to almost any armament on the market, NATO or not. In the occasions where they have been flying against each other in exercises as Red Flag and here in Scandinavia the Gripen has no problem holding the F-16 off. During Red Flag 2006 in Alaska one Gripen A pilot knocked down five F-16 block 50+ during close combat. During that exercise Gripen never lost any areal encounter or failed their mission objectives. It was the only fighter that performed all planned starts, while others were sitting on the ground waiting for the weather to clear up. The evaluation was that Gripens capacity needed to be revaluated. And no disrespect to other pilots, they are equally trained and in a Gripen would be performing equally well. During a combat exercise with the Royal Norwegain Air Force, 3 Swedish Gripens went up against 5 RNAF F-16's. The Result was 5-0, 5-0, 5-1 after having flown 3 rounds. However the F-16 is still compatible on the Striker arena, here it can show as a good, robust and reliable striker which for the size can carry a considerable payload, much more than the Gripen. The Gripen can however compensate this with a significant shorter turnaround time, which for a strike mission is never more than 20 minutes, performed by a technician and 5 conscripts in a parking The F16 has for almost half a century been the plane to beat.

When it comes to reliability and accessibility Gripen has no match on the modern arena. Also here, even if the payload is not as high it can carry almost anything that is available on the market. The Gripen will be able to do this with an app. Of course some testing is required but not in any level compared with other fighters. Also here Gripen has showed in exercises that it can without AWACs support get battlefield awareness due to the Link 39 P2P system and undetected complete mission objectives and efficiently defend itself if necessary. Gripen is not a stealth aircraft but it is very difficult to detect. In the last role as reconnaissance fighter Gripens performance in Libya showed that is more than reliable, available and always completes the mission objectives. It came down to Libya as a tactical resource but very soon was lifted up as an strategic. Also here it showed how adaptable the plane is, how easy it is to maintain and is always available. One C130 can carry all the equipment necessary to support four Gripen during a month of overseas missions. The Gripen is more expensive to purchase than the F-16 but is half the cost to fly. The choice if you have no political bias is a no-brainer in favour of the Gripen. So how does the Gripen compare to the F-16? It is simply superior. F-16 is an excellent of the shelf fighter if you for some reason can´t afford Gripen and must buy US made, but it is time to put it in a museum. If the customer must buy US I would look at Super Hornet, Super Eagle or if you want to get ripped of the F-35. Yes the F-35 will probably be superior in many aspect but the cost to fly it will kill any defence budget short of the US."

Good choice Brazil.

Amazing 👌😍

RIP Kobe.we will never forget

That is some really nice footage from the cockpit. What camera was used for that?

Great video Mnr. Griesel. Love die sunset en die HD kwaliteit saam met dit. EN daardie tyd v d aand wys die afterburner ook mooi.

Nice helicopter but the bell 429 is quieter and a whole lot smoother

in birmingham

i saw where we go plane spotting

But why? Accidentally?

Jeez you were not kidding about ultra smooth! It's like watching a flight simulator. The flight attendant even sounds as if she's fallen asleep during that approach.

Well done Gerard!

This helo seems to have a much lower HUD panel than others in it's category, giving it excellent visibility to it's pilots!

i love the sound the gripen makes when it's coming in your direction, it's way more pronounced in person. it's almost as if you can hear it sucking in air, then the sound turns and you just hear the pure roar of the jet. love that

Good SOUTH AFRICA

Very good video! Fantastic light. And a terrific performance of pilot and aircraft, nice!

The PAF will have this planes!

epaulets... seriously douscher?

which country is that?

Väldigt intressant och bra skriven diskussion om Gripen och dess förmåga i nedanstående länk! wisemanswisdoms.blogspot.com/2014/09/gastinlagg-gripen-e-vs-jsf.html

Really I feel proud,that Linköping city produces Gripen 39E

Nice display, great filming!

Well done sir

At about 2:08 the damn thing goes nose up then 90degrees left bank wow.

I don't know whether it is the plane or the pilot, but this display seems lame compared to what Russian pilots can to with a Sukkhoi! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWHXo6J3op2omrM

Wow !!! Spectacular

Lovely quality video camera. You should rename the video to sunset display though - the afterburner is clearly visible and may get a few extra eyes on this clip. Also invest in a Fluid tripod - they are expensive but will help tremendously with shake. Last thing - one tip - when i film these guys, I zoom in when they are far out, but as they get closer , I zoom out - it's impossible to keep them in view properly. And play around with zoom - sometimes getting too close spoils the shot a bit - a vital error I made a 1000 times. Hope you are at AAD in September, as i was jobless for 2 months and can't afford a flight ticket and a B&B at the moment.

Damn, nice avionics! Love the fuel quantity indicator on the EICAS.

Canada.. wake up n get a hold of this!
