747-200 Landing in Las Vegas

[@mIKEY2230]

True, it looked like he started to flare at 1:14, but he soon drops nose back down at 1:17. Just a thought maybe the Runway isn't that long which would explain the shallow approach and use of the full length of the runway. When landing normally you would aim the aircraft 1/4 down the runway to ensure rear wheels don't go rough.

Wow! Very nice transition and touchdown.

kool i wanna be a pilot wen im older i love flying

[@aerofiles5044]

@@stuka101 That's amazing man. Congrats.

[@Incuby]

Was that one guy asking "who is steering? lol ^^ Respect to the pilots and nice movie :D

[@FlyThompson]

@saulpilot WOW! people express! that's an old airline!

[@Springbok295]

I'd love to see the brake overheat video at Gatwick. That was interesting.

[@jman831]

no it doesnt. it prevents the plane from flipping do to a crosswind. ( the plane wont actually flip but a wing strike is possible).

[@flyoma]

This looks like it is from an old video called "747 Pilot's Eye View" filming Peoplexpress flights in the mid-1980s.

[@ljng]

question:can i know how you enter to the cockpit to shoot this down??As I know,we can't enter the cockpit,can't we???

[@saulpilot]

Hi, of course this video is real! from 747's cockpit.

[@mIKEY2230]

They would have turned this off due to the high wind shear beacuse steering would be erratic. I would think its standard procedure to leave this off until needed.

[@brownbrownson]

i thought for the 747, the time to flare was at 50ft radar alt...

[@valentinoCapriati]

trip7even,, yeah i'm 19 and i'm flying for klm, yes yóu've heard that correct, i started the the kls(klm flight academy when i was 17) and i finished it when i just turn't 19. now i'm flying for klm fot almost 3 months,, so don't talk i you don't know what you're talking about

[@gizmopunch]

Pilots bring there own cameras into the cockpit for personal reason or training,

[@Ubeans2001]

What year was this?? I know that KLAS rarely gets 747s besides the one from London....

[@LJDRVR]

People Express wasn't killed, they merged with Continental.

[@valentinoCapriati]

he was a bit under glide slope isn't ? and a bit of center woth his touch down, probably crosswind still like your video nice ils landing. i'm also a pilot but then foor the klm have the daily flightst to hongkong,, i shall make some video's to hold on i on me

[@Ubeans2001]

This is VERY OLD!! Dang runway 1L wasnt even as long as it is now!! plus theres no development before 1R there and now its a main city intersection!! Wow this is probably from 1993 or somewhere in that time!!

[@CarlHogan_]

probably an old video judging by the quality... they wouldnt be able to go in the cockpit now.. unless they are crew that have recorded this!

[@brownbrownson]

if this was at LAS, 25L should have been long enough...747-400s land on it daily with no problems..19L&R too...

[@brownbrownson]

are you sure this is KLAS? it looks more like KLSV...(Nellis)

[@simonrailways]

POV: you are landing at Las Vegas on a Boeing 747-200

[@saulpilot]

@wizzair1313 Hi is People Express.

[@dennis430]

The Captain's name is Paul Havis. The airline in this video is the now defunk Peoples Express, which was killed by airline deregulation.

[@VeracityMedia]

so much less stressful with todays technology and automation. You really had to "drive" those old heavies.

[@mIKEY2230]

He came in too low to flare

[@brownbrownson]

i thought it was 50ft...

[@lanelassiter]

what brownbrownson said beacuse this sure is not McCarren but More like Nellis.

[@flightsimpilot123]

@Riccardao91 If everything goes well you will be a pilot when your 17, im 16 and just my my pilots license

[@Adsterz20leh]

pilot at 19 = flying single engine props =]

[@simpledudeable]

*Daydreaming about me being on that left seat*

[@shadddey5]

you wanna land a 747-200 better than these guys did?

[@AndrewCheetah]

I don't believe it...lol A pilot at 19.

[@SFConifer]

If it weren't a Boeing he weren't a going

[@tiehut]

goog luck, but new pilots make very little money and get treated like slaves.
