[@Jacksonrodriguez]

crazy to see how little thrust is actually applied during taxi. Great video. Congrats on captain!

[@PilotWanderlust]

That's true! Even in ground idle the aircraft accelerates and when it reaches max taxi speed we use the brakes to decelerate down to 10kt. This way it's better for the brakes than applying constantly brake pressure during taxi. Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@Jacksonrodriguez]

@@PilotWanderlust wow that’s really informative! Thank you! I like to simulate on ms2020 and it always blows my mind how quickly I accelerate when I bring up thrust! Thanks for the content and the inspiration...will be looking forward for more videos :D

I remember my first flights as a captain...my co-pilot was a former military pilot and thought he was the big boss. He ignored the fact that I had 10.000 more flight hours than him. A horrible week. Thanks god all the other co-pilots were cool guys. So far...

Dennoch kommt einem der Blickwinkel anders vor. Fliegerisch kannte ich das Flugzeug bereits als Co und in der Rolle als Cpt fühle ich mich auch sehr wohl. Wir haben eine super Trainingsabteilung und während der Ausbildung bekommt man den letzten Feinschliff für die neue Position. Liebe Grüße 🤗

Sehr informatives Video-sehr lehrreich und interessant für ambitionierte X-Plane-Piloten. Jetzt aber mal kein Kommentar zum Thema Fliegen, obwohl ich wie die meisten hier eine Menge Fragen haben. Wie kommt es zu dem Namen "Wanderlust"? Ist das ein ungewöhnlicher Nachname oder die Bezeichnung für ein Hobby? Ich bin selbst Wanderführer und seit 30 Jahren Bergtourenfüher und habe einen Bezug zum Thema Wandern bzw. Gehen.

[@PilotWanderlust]

Vielen Dank für die netten Worte! Den Namen habe ich gewählt, weil es auf meinem Kanal ums Reisen gehen wird. Die Cockpitvideos waren nur der Einstieg und sollten für etwas Fernweh sorgen 😉, ab diesem Sommer sollen dann auch Videos rund ums Reisen und Fotografieren/Filmen auf Reisen hinzukommen. Eigentlich wird es dann hauptsächlich darum gehen. Schönen Sonntag! 🙂
