A350 longhaul behind the scenes (in the cockpit with SAS!)

We’re back on the A350 flight deck for the 11 hour run from Copenhagen to Bangkok, this time with SAS (Scandinavian Airlines). And we’re going to see firsthand what the growing problem with GPS jamming and spoofing looks like for pilots, not only near Russia and Ukraine but also in the Middle East; as we start feeling the effects over Poland and don’t regain normal satellite connections until we reach the Persian Gulf. Apart from that we’ve got a video full of amazing A350 cockpit technology, beautiful views from these massive windows, and much more.

It's so reassuring to see these pilots in action and how aware and professional they are of their surroundings at all times!

[@tyta1]

True - but the level of professionalism and skills doesn't seem to be the same everywhere. We can only hope that pilots in other parts of the world - who tend to rely more on automated systems and be less confident with identifying anomalies in these systems and flying / navigating manually if needed - will be able to cope with any complex situation they encounter.

[@Detvanliga]

It is just because they are being filmed. Normally they just sleep through it. .

[@user-ex5sw5jd6c]

They are very experienced, professional and alert, and very seasoned Pilots, and must say, I admire them.

[@parimal7528]

Also important to note is aircraft is Airbus, not Boeing!!

[@RAVIOLIdS]

@@Detvanliga not true, at least in my family and most pilots I fly with don't sleep through any procedure. Were being watched by the company too and most companies follow with this.

Glued to the screen for 40 minutes. This is great content!

[@Sniper21361]

same here bro

[@TimLinden]

I must say it’s been much more dangerous than last Middle East Palestinian conflicts in 2012-2013. Even it appears ADSB coverage just started then, it was more assuring and safe to take the trans continental flight. SAS should fly more on arctic Japan routes

[@AviationVlogger]

Like others said, 40 minutes of pure entertainment, education, and beautiful views. I had no idea there was such a big issue with the jamming and spoofing across Russia/Ukraine. You could see the pilots were very situationally aware during that time. Huge respect to them! Fantastic video!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you!

Watching this video on Lufthansa's FlyNet on an A359 over Greenland. I love this airplane, its a masterpiece.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Nice!!

[@lapo78]

That landing was smooth and precisely on the centerline hence the bumping from the centerline lights. The pilot flying even counted down accurately from 4-3-2-1-touchdown (in Danish)! So proud of SAS, I used to work for them for 5 years

[@jeremypearson6852]

I never realized commercial pilots had to deal with so much flying over certain countries. It makes me wonder how domestic flights are within Russia if so many systems aren’t functioning. Kudos to all the crew for dealing so well with everything.

[@phantomopera5525]

So basically, while the passengers are calmly (mostly) sleeping in the back, the pilots are there trying to figure out where they are and what time it is. Amazing.

[@peterwoods3623]

Possibly your best video yet. What helpful and interesting pilots explaining all their difficulties and even housekeeping in words that even I could understand. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep it up and thanks.

[@EasyjetVirtualCaptain]

The best 40 minutes I have ever spend in my life watching these amazing pilots, thank you.

[@Babyboffa2018]

I bet your wife had a fantastic honeymoon 😂

[@captaincarl1603]

As an Air Force officer (Swedish) I can give a little information about the jamming. The reason the jamming is random and without clear boundaries is because jamming is an inexact business. When jamming you aim your resources toward the general area that you want to affect. With different methods you can then approximate the effect of your jamming operation but you will never know the precise reach, boundaries, and outcome. That's why these pilots experience that the jamming is somewhat random, because it is.

[@EARTHELEMENT_]

I used to fly as cabin crew and on my first supernumerary flight post training, between STN - IST, the f/o casually informed me “we’re being jammed”. Safe to say I nearly evacuated my bowel - crew found it hilarious but were incredibly reassuring 😂 I miss flying so much! Thanks for the great content.

[@kitman9894]

[@christerry1773]

The SAS livery on the 350 is one of my favs. While the computer elements of modern aircraft are safe and much more efficient, there’s now two sides of pilot skill and knowledge. One how the aircraft flies, and second how to operate all of the computers. But all they’ve really done is replaced paper EFB’s.

Had the opportunity to visit BA Concorde cockpit , after meal service and 2 hours into the flight. It was hot and snug - like flying in a tube - however the 3hr 20min flight was amazing. Best Champagne “ Pol Roger, Sir Winston Churchill. Canapés , caviar , lobster fish cakes , desert , cheese/fruit + 25 year old port. And after initial decel close to Cape Cod and slowed and fell into JFK traffic at well under mach 1. Great flight - superb food & a warm ride - it was over way to fast 💨 Sterling silver gifts were handed out with custom cards. And ur signed supersonic certificate after the captains signature.

Love the cockpit teamwork! Was fortunate to be in the cockpit , jump seat, landing and taking off in India, China and Turkey..... regrettably not on the A 350. Really enjoyed your video as a totally confirmed aircraft nerd after only flying for the past 35 years and looking for more! Keep it up, loving everything you are producing from a nerd's perspective ( preferably from a jump seat!) It is so assuring that the crew can advise the cockpit that turbulence is affecting the cabin... lovely to know when the service is halted. Imagine that in a Fokker Triplane?! It is flight crew like this who make me convinced to sleep on long haul flight.
