737 ILS CAT3 Autoland - Cockpit View!

[@StreamlineSMusic]

My heart rate jumped a little when I heard the TCAS warning! That's the last thing you want to hear with that kind of visibility.

[@austinroberts8623]

Sometimes the TCAS will alert you of a plane that is on the ground. Or, if there were a parallel runway, it could be alerting of traffic on that runway taking off/landing The ATC would make sure that there was no traffic issues during an approach like this. Thats why the pilots did nothing about it.

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

Nahum Strickland Warnings of proximity are common, what you do NOT want to hear is "Climb !, Climb !" (or "Descend !", Descend !"). If those go unheeded you will get a '"INCREASE CLIMB !", or "INCREASE DESCEND". Look up "Air Crash Investigations - Deadly Crossroads".

[@flightmaster178]

Nahum Strickland If you're referring to the countdown of feet to the runway. That system is called TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System.) Or, some aircraft have GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System.)

[@Ihaveanamenowtaken]

Nahum Strickland What you were hearing was the Radio Altimeter.

[@StreamlineSMusic]

smlbstcbr Nope, I was referring to the traffic warning alert.

[@sjtom57]

No matter how many times you land in such conditions it's always a tremendous relief to finally see those lights come into view. Great vid.

[@93hopeless]

I never knew santa flew in IMC. I guess its good that Rudolph has ILS capabilities in his nose!

[@PlaneCrazy1999]

XD

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

Nice to see that Santa has TCAS.

[@preppedpilot2473]

Santa need not have TCAS; The interrogation only needs a mode C or S transponder to issue a TA.

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

Prepped Pilot Shut up.

[@Crazy--Clown]

Prepped Pilot Bullshit dude....Check ya books

[@barakatmohammed3299]

santa forgot to switch his TCAS on

[@PlaneCrazy1999]

LOL

[@viviparoplacentario2847]

02:31 ...jajjajjjajjajja...!!! :))))))))))))))

[@NebbieNZ]

In theory Santa should be going near light speed so this 737 should be pretty much at a standstill relative to santa.

[@IntellectualHazard]

barakat mohammed he also turned off his transponder and quite missed the localizer

[@philipbyrnes7501]

As a pilot that is the most frightening video I have ever seen. No thank you, that nice city above the clouds to the right would suit me just fine

[@D800Lover]

The wonders of ILS. I remember a similar landing in Zurich in 2006. The pilots just have to have faith in the technology - and ILS is what keeps airports open when they otherwise should not! .

[@Taser1-1]

Cat III is no joke.

[@IFlyPlanes]

Dang, a Boeing 737-300 has autoland. Not bad!

[@Ronald7077]

Technology is amazing- thick fog and landed straight on the centre line 👍

[@anirudhkrishnamittal6180]

I wonder if santa's sleigh can do a CAT3 APP.

[@etudigger3340]

I think Rudolph's nose so bright has a built in CAT 3 Approach system. Santa seemed quite happy when he flew in front of the jet, so he must trust Rudolph's advanced in-flight TCAS.

[@meatballofdeath9846]

etu digger But does he have landing lights? Also I hear he uses a special, prototypical MAALS (Magic Assisted Approach and Landing System). I hear he also has a HUGS that is built into the ass of Blitzen. Rudolphs nose works as both TCAS and rotating beacon. Donner is the radar equipment.

[@madrush8]

I'm just glad it wasn't the wicked witch of the west!

[@marcinna8553]

This is so cool. Essentially, it's landing on a runway in the middle of the clouds. The clouds happen to be on the ground.

[@siddharthdeokota9982]

Its pretty incredible the engineering and fine tuning process over the years have now made it possible to these kind of things. As a passenger it is my dream to get an opportunity to ride the cockpit jumpseat. Would be like a kid in a candy shop only NO PRESSING BUTTONS !

[@nickv4073]

Love the Santa addition. That 737 sounds like its in dire need of a wheel alignment though.

[@sludge4125]

👍👍👍👍

[@crrodriguez]

Santa got to have his license revoked. ! dunno how many regulations he violated there..overweight,overloaded, separation rules..etc :-D

[@TheBarnem13]

That's what happens when you have no transponder!

[@audigex]

+TheBarnem13 Have you ever tried to make a Reindeer squawk?

[@violetmartha916]

Ha Ha ha ha Ha ha

[@RobertoRMOLA]

CAT III is when ceiling is at less then 100 feet, but the video shows clearly (if sound is synchronized) ALS visible around 150 feet = CAT II...

[@turbofanlover]

Absolutely awesome!!!!! A great little bonus Christmas present for us all! Thanks so much for posting this and all of the other vids. I'm looking forward to more great stuff in 2014! All the best to you!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I wish you happy holidays and merry christmas :) I'm sure there will be more in 2014,. Or even before ;)

[@MrNagun]

Wow,now I realized that flying is really safe with autoland...an amazing video,thank you for sharing.

[@PilotsTubeHD]

getting to the airport is way more dangerous than flying haha. Merry Christmas!

[@НовиСадСрбија]

Always brings tears to my eyes to see this 😭 so beautiful

[@kylerider7125]

Why did I hold my breath before going into the clouds lol

[@danahan01]

It's a wonder more jets don't crash flying into weather like this. Amazing!!

[@jibeneyto91]

+danahan01 Not really, there's very little room for error in an Autoland approach. Also crews have been trained specifically and are extra cautious and alert. Kind of the same reason why there never were any serious accidents landing in Hong Kong Kai Tak.

[@danahan01]

jibeneyto So I looked it up and a total of 195 people were killed at Kai Tak before it closed. I guess if you don't count death as being "serious" then there were no serious accidents at Kai Tak.

[@jibeneyto91]

+danahan01 195 fatalities over the entire life span of Kai Tak is an EXCELLENT record in absolute terms, and even more so if you consider how difficult it is to get in and out of there :). In MANY airports there's been more deaths in just ONE single air accident (JFK, LAX, CDG, AMS, MAD etc) :)

[@descent815]

Awesome! Really gotta trust your instruments in that kind of approach!!

[@billace90]

The Santa thing was a nice, funny, unexpected detail.

[@STEVEHARLEY1956]

Quite amazing...thank God for ILS CAT3....liked the two Santa flypasts.....Steve.

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Cat3 is a nice invention huh? :D thanks man!

[@mariafrasunkiewicz918]

Fairytale movie :) Awesome landing!

[@BananaT3arz]

Wow! Awesome view man! Merry Christmas to you! :)

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Merry Christmas to you, too, man! :D I still laugh everytime I see your pic haha

[@noodles636]

I loved when santa rode across I laughed my ass off !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RossAviationWorld]

Awesome landing! Great view! Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Thank you man! To you too :)

[@taraskobzar4813]

Merci bien pour la vidéo. C'était magnifique!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

De rien! :) Joyeux noel!

[@Quick_wit.]

I couldn't find landing strip until last minute..... Awesome video ....Thanks to technological advancement....

[@StonyRC]

WOW, ... I mean, just WOW!!!!!! To see absolutely NOTHING until just a little way above the runway. It goes to show how far automated landings have come and how much trust you have in the technology. By the way, Santa needs to get his ass back to flight school.

[@catmar1944]

Great demo of an auto-land, thanks.

[@penelope8557]

Santa Claus and his reindeer! How cute!

[@christopherfischer6998]

Damn. Minimums were like 50 feet from the ground

[@ArztvomDienst]

Wonderfull dive through the clouds, merry christmas und schöne Feiertage ＝]

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Frohes Fest dir! :)

[@johnferguson7235]

Awesome Sauce ... winner of a COOL VIDEO AWARD .... definitely THUMBS UP

[@magnoboavista]

Awesome the precision level!

[@Dunstire]

The first time you do this in that kind of visibility must be a real ring-piece clencher

[@ptommy5301]

Perfekt automatic landing!

[@50624]

Merry Christmas, and thx for the great vids!!!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

to you, too! and you are very welcome haha

[@lauragadille3384]

And I thought night time was bad. Good job!!

[@snatr]

Rather than Santa showing up, I keep thinking about this being one of those videos where something really scary jumps out at your. Not that the landing wasn't scary enough 😬

[@JelmersAviation]

WooW beautiful video mate!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing!! Well done, liked!!

[@moofey]

"Traffic! Traffic!" In those conditions that sounds scary af.

[@flybyplane]

Super Video. Santa über der Schweiz. Dann ist er ja bald hier. Frohes Fest wünsche ich Dir. :-)

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Wünsch ich dir auch! :)

[@michaeldunne7139]

excellent - and great flypast by those reindeer. I wonder what it feels like for pilots when they have to trust instruments in such conditions.

[@PilotsTubeHD]

haha thank you! They feel very safe, you just need to concentrate a lot, since you gotta go around quickly if the ground isn't visible on minimums

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ein klasse Video wie immer! Toll gemacht mit dem Weihnachtsmann! Zu mir ist er trotzdem nicht gekommen :-D Ich wünsche noch angenehme Feiertage!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Haha danke dir! Warst du etwa nicht artig dieses Jahr? :P Dir ebenfalls!

[@moriver3857]

Not CAT III minimums. CAT IIIa is 700 RVR and 50 foot ceiling and by the time you reach 50 feet, you are at your TCH over the threshold, so you would not see the threshold. That's a US runway markings, btw.

[@lideelo]

Although after Christmas - This video blew me out, watching it over & over again !:))) #PlanesAddict

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Haha awesome! Thanks a lot man :)

[@brianmorton4989]

Nice to know it can do that for you when it's a bit misty.

[@scotty3034]

“Then one foggy Christmas Eve............” This was the moment Rudolph had been waiting for all of his life.

[@sludge4125]

But, imagine what a mid air collision would look like... 😳

[@integraf40]

Actually made me laugh out loud, love the vids, a very merry Christmas

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Haha nice! Happy holidays to you! :)

[@jspriver]

Santa is a great touch

[@daykamicruz5931]

the best youtube video ever.......

[@garyvale8347]

IMC looking thick....and pretty sure Santa is rated for VFR only.....but sled has ILS ......Rudolf is IFR.......

[@nicoroz6912]

Lights can be seen before the 100 foot callout. The conditions are not CAT 3, they’re CAT 2...

[@LeptirAviation]

Great landing ! have an awesome christmas !

[@PilotsTubeHD]

thanks man, you too!!

[@anthonyglee1710]

What’s the rattling background noise you often hear in Boeing cockpit planes?

[@themaestromusician]

I have been travelling for long time now but I hardly see the ailerons in work during the flight these days. Why?

[@Pwhisperer]

It is absolutely amazing how those planes can land them selves dead center on the runway all by them self. Even tho I know the system works, it would still likely skeer the crap outta me the first few times using it.

[@sludge4125]

👍👍👍🤪🤪🤪

[@sebastiannamieta5162]

Nicely done , great video, thank you.

[@nyceyes]

Thank you for this nice video uploader. 🤗

[@tntkop]

Santa was awesome!!!

[@Yonlawlawlaw]

AMAZING!

[@dimitrimarinos1]

"clear off conflict". Hahaha. well mixed.

[@ronniec8370]

what happen if there is a black out on the ground? powering off those radars or signals?

[@Joe-uo9wv]

Dam I wouldn't walk down my front stairs in that soup, nice job.

[@bigtaxrefund]

why is there a horse drawn cart moving along the screen from left to right

[@appasonata2]

Waaaaw great landing

[@PharmChemKlef]

Excellent video!.The ILS autoland ,when visibillity is almost zero, is very usefull. What would the pilots do without it...

[@57Jimmy]

Tell each other..."I think I can! I think I can!

[@sludge4125]

They would go somewhere else. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@csp103]

Seems like the cockpit, upon rotation for takeoff, would be in the clouds!

[@RootedHat]

Before reading the description I knew this approach looked familiar!

[@Musician_Robert]

Do they now have mandatory ILS Cat 3 Autolanding in all low visibility situations? If so, good. If not, they should.

[@donc9751]

Man, it went from minimums to 30 feet in about a second! The only thing with a lower minimum would be a submarine! I cant imagine breaking into visibility and not seeing the runway when that low, no time to react! Good thing the passengers did not have a pilots view.

[@worldaviation4k]

haha i just had it on the welcome page and i saw these red things going past while i was doing other things and i was like seconds later, wait a minute what usually goes past like that. so i rewinded it :D very funny :)

[@mrkhan2983]

amazing .. must be a skilled experienced pilot ....

[@setthestandard25]

wow this must be so intense !!! for the pilots if I'm here biting​ my nails LMFAO

[@av8tore71]

WOW, nice video!!

[@rekunta]

Damn, MS flight simulator is looking great! 😳

[@walkbyfeet]

Haha, lustige Idee! :-D Tolles Video!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Danke dir!! :) freut mich und frohe weihnachten!!

[@RodrigoSouza-hn2sl]

The best video ever

[@raj50231]

Good Stuff. Happy Holidays. Regards from India. Cheers..!!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Thank you! Happy holidays to you too! :)

[@bristar3004]

That was awesome!

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

That was so funny. thanks. 🙂

[@cro9909]

I'm pretty sure they still at least a certain amount of visibility to allow a cat3 autoland...

[@JIMJAMSC]

I see Santa missed. About time he upgraded his avionics.Rudolf's nose just don't cut it no more.

[@rosalvani1489]

Amazing Pilots !

[@cambodianriverpig7613]

TIL Boeing 737 have autoland feature!?

[@ejonys007]

Does most international airports have auto landing features. If yes, why don’t pilots always use it?

[@alvaroantoniodecarvalho3340]

Loucura, loucura, loucura!

[@mikebutler7605]

Unbelievable. I once asked a commercial pilot about CAT III landings and he indicated his crews would practice them on clear beautiful days just to develop trust in the system. I don't think a human could have done a better job putting that 373 down on the runway like the CAT III did. Just unbelievable.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

373?

[@srinitaaigaura]

What's interesting is that the fog layer is only a few hundred feet thick. Above that it's all clear.

[@denniskitainik5501]

Was it sea fog? Because that's one type of fog which has this habit!

[@888Winkler]

What's that Moo sound? Did they hit a cow?

[@alexandrereber8924]

Was that Geneva, Switzerland?

[@chanduindianidol]

Final minute run way visibility... Great the autoLand even with 2 mtrs visibility..

[@AviationSpottingFrankfurt]

Sehr geil! Coole Aussicht! Mir gefällt es wie die Bergspitzen aus dem Wolkenmeer herausragen. Beinahe hätte es kein Weihnachten gegeben ;) Mit welchem Programm hast du das bearbeitet? Like!

[@PilotsTubeHD]

Gut dass santa auch ein tcas hat :P war magix 2013.

[@AviationSpottingFrankfurt]

***** hahaha lol. Moderner Schlitten! magix ist generell sehr cool!

[@ibtm]

great video!!!!!!!!!!

[@BenBowman97]

Awesome. Can a landing ever be performed with a decision height of less than 50 feet?

[@denniskitainik5501]

IDK about the 737, but it can on the Trident!

[@euroc159]

very nice video :)

[@PilotsTubeHD]

thank you and merry xmas!

[@euroc159]

***** for you too

[@marthalujano1512]

What went across the 737 at 1:13 ??
