This is a special flight without passengers. After Chinese first Boeing 747-8 aircraft was delivered to Air China, 6 captains took the 747-8 airplane back to China, took off from Seattle Everett, and flew straight to Beijing.

Just to clarify that we have totally different way of communication in China (like aviation English versus aviation Chinese) so that captain in the middle is translating ATC commands for other captains so that they can focus on flying. Not that they can’t understand or read English or anything, cause all the checklists and manuals are probably written in English.

You are absolutely wrong. There are 6 pilots because this is the first ever flight flown by air China on the 748, and they most likely wanted the most amount of eyes to watch for anything that goes wrong(though I highly disagree with this philosophy). Also, 3 pilots aren’t needed at a time for a flight, only 2. Not to mention in a 12 hour flight, 3 pilots are usually enough. For flights that are say 16 hours, 4 pilots are needed. Never does a flight need more than 4.

This is a unique video, having a dedicated comms pilot frees up the 2 pilots in the front seats. The pilot in the left seat is hand flying the plane above the clouds which I've never seen on any other airline delivery flight. Sure it wastes more fuel and I don't know if western airlines do this on their first new aircraft type delivery flight. But I certainly think it should be done.

It doesn't waste more fuel to handfly if you follow the path that you ve assigned to the autopilot.

Since when does hand flying vs using an autopilot use more fuel during climb out?

I'm guessing they took delivery out of Paine Field in Everett. I might have seen this flight go overhead!

I hope that Korean air puts the 747-8 on the lax route so I can fly it on my next trip to Korea on the upper deck

Just to clarify why you see the captain and first officer wear sunglasses. It’s not to look cool. It’s because it’s really bright outside the clouds reflecting from the sun. Like if you ever go skiing the snow will make it too bright to see.

I'm surprised how long they were hand flying. I thought they'd switch to AP onced they started the SID.

This was their first 747-8 back in 2014. So the pilot definitely want to manually fly for longer.

So 1 captain in charge, 1 monitoring captain, 1 radio captain, 1 cameraman captain, and 2 unseated and unbelted captains at the back
