[@Helmut1610]

Great video on a great airline. Used to do this entire trip at least twice a year.No wonder they win so many awards.

[@dalemay7498]

Thank you heathrow Spotting for the effort you put in making these.

[@ManAirportSpotter]

[@TheChosenRed]

[@moshrunnersHD]

That is an amazingly clean wing haha, I love the feeling of flying on a new aircraft. I flew on Air France's F-HPJD just 12 days after delivery. Welcome back to the UK btw :)

[@fachy1981]

[@MalindaRajapakse]

Lovely video. Boy wish we could see more of that sun in the UK...

[@obtjk]

Such a clean aircraft!

[@kingflyer223]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Just bloody Awsome mate!

[@akuferatik]

nice video..look at the flaps, still white and clean =)

[@AndreasRh93]

I would love to see the captains POV as they fly into the fog, must be a wierd/funny sight.. great vid!

[@LAXTraveler7]

Good video and loved the tour of Heathrow. Many videos stop after landing which I will never understand. One of the best parts is the taxi, thank you. Maybe some inside pics, I want to see the Skycouch, sounds interesting. cheers

[@kuin5566]

Such a great landing skill and I must say u took a very good skill film. I will waiting for ur video with different airlines especially cockpit view. Good luck

[@cheekykent]

Awesome video! glad you enjoyed NZ's newest tripler! my friend is an FA on them :) poor wee bubs, usually babies cough medicine helps - just a little :)

[@mariodebontridder]

BEAUTIFULL!!!

[@UltraMarioGalaxy]

whoah new plane! =O

[@AirportEntertainment]

Cool, thanks for your answer.

[@izzypaynee]

That's a pretty smooth flight dammm!

[@rb21122b]

Nice brand new airplane

[@draoi99]

Going through the clouds was amazing,

[@mikemarz5463]

I have to agree... I did this flight last year and it was the best i've ever done! Love AirNZ and their new birds :)

[@Best97West]

Amaziing Landing !!

[@Slaners100]

London gatwick :-) going there tomorrow to meet the airfield manager and may actually go on the airfield so I'm really excited :D

[@Erick0917]

i love this plane very clean :)))

[@faisalalshahrani3882]

good landing

[@airbxnee]

Nice to see someone not complaining about the Baby! I'm the same as you, I don't get mad one bit. Course could be a little agging but they can't help it..

[@dean157799]

Just like how Anchorage is a major stop in between flights. just did some spotting there earlier. Magnificent birds!

[@DEFENDER1able]

Its time when you feel the engines work different and start the descending ,is really very nice .Flaps down ,everybody inside the plane are very quite its something exciting waiting the time actually you going to step in land.

[@airbxnee]

Thanks! Tired of filming? Never! I wanted to share as much as possible. Everything you see are my favourite parts of the Flight.

[@Shadowcloud1]

Fully agree with you on that! :D

[@Supahemz]

1:53 beautiful shot

[@MrFaizan28]

I just love the B777.

[@MrAman707]

Brilliant

[@qwertyguy76]

the wings are very very clean

[@hornbyfan29]

look how shiney and new the wing is

[@airbxnee]

@scanmannz No it was a full flap landing (30). Cloud was minimum 500ft. Not sure on the total thickness. Probably around 1,500ft-500ft. Full flaps on the 777 normally comes on Final Approach along with the gear.

[@airbxnee]

I'm flying back to LHR next week so maybe I'll include some in that video. Don't expect me too go in the toilet or anything though ha! And I do edit these videos, if I didn't they would be even longer because I film pretty much the WHOLE departure. Same with descent. I'm flying United so if they've got their ''new cabin'' in the one I'm on I'll give you guys a look.

[@huzayfahLOL]

Welcome back to the Grey Old England!

[@airbxnee]

Because I'm from London and moved out here to the states back last August. I've had two trips back so far. The Frankfurt trip was in the second trip home for a day of spotting :-) Plus I'll find any reason to fly ha!

[@airbxnee]

@minitrundle Me too! Yes she's been flying almost a Month actually! Will try and catch her and add her to the collection!

[@ohHellYes10]

good to see they're playing NZ music after landing :)

[@Boeingbmaster]

The cruise at 0:48 is just has a beautiful sound

[@airbxnee]

CAT II, I believe. Standard landings at LHR are CAT I, however in these conditions CAT II was used. The F/O landed this one manually.

[@MattyByTheSea]

I hate it when it's really nice and sunny above the clouds and then you go below and it's all shitty haha. Nice vid :)

[@airbxnee]

@howardflight09 No the First Officer Landed it from around 1,000ft, pretty easy for them just follow the Flight Director. The Cloud in the video looks lower as we got Condensation all over the wing so the Pilots had much more Visual than we did on Finals.

[@triskal12000]

Was it again this week? Wonderful!

[@airbxnee]

Thanks! Yep, Gear Down & Flaps 20.

[@airbxnee]

@rachaelmatt Yeah we were fairly lower than normally. I'm always normally FL370 going West to East. Only been FL400 that was on the way to LA for the first time in a couple of years! We were a heavy load as well so had to be at the most efficient altitudes calculated by the FMC. We only filed for FL310!

[@airbxnee]

@AlexSupraBieber Thanks! Yeah was cool, some vortex's as well!

[@anthony75971]

Yo me halle el video entero espectacular, porque el video tiene buena calidad, el avion se ve fantastico y tiene un sonido extremadamente perfecto!!! Este video para mi, lo tiene todo!!! Saludos desde Republica Dominicana!!!

[@airbxnee]

It was actually just ILS CAT1 limits believe it or not. We were out of the clouds a lot earlier than it seems - the massive condensation trail coming off the wings makes it seem a lot later. FO hand flew her in (-:

[@airbxnee]

@ArmandoHerFlo Also I'm talking about the 77L which has a range of 9,395 Miles.

[@airbxnee]

@rachaelmatt Thank you! Yep a nice Altitude! Passed a lot of traffic over the US FL330, shame it was dark! I could see quite a bit though as the moon light was fairly bright. We were Mach 8.4 FL310, FL330 8.3 FL350 8.3 but slowed to 8.1/2 over the Atlantic.

[@airbxnee]

@Kassowar65 Well to be honest, this plane at the time was it's second day in service so the seats weren't broken in. Same thing if you get a new sofa it's a little hard at times. I wouldn't lay down but if 2 of you I'd get the extra seat as you have more room to stretch etc! On the way back seats were good as plane was a Year old. Love ANZ!

[@airbxnee]

Not down that high. Standard speed control at LHR is generally 220knts in holds and approach, 180knts base, 160knts till 4 DME once fully established on the ILS. Our VREF as around 144 so we needed the flaps a little earlier due gross weight. 777 normally lands quite fast. Cloud was OVC005 & BR conditions so Flap 30 was taken around 700-1,000ft.

[@airbxnee]

@bewareofcabbage Yeah now with the 330 Minute ETOPS Rule the 77W will be fine for now. Not sure if they have any more on order? I love the 763 with Winglets in the ANZ livery!

[@airbxnee]

@Honza8778 Thanks. This is the end of its Journey. It will return to AUK via LAX as ANZ1 which I'll be taking in a couple of weeks!

[@airbxnee]

@xSystemzZ I'm use to it if i'm honest. They only normally cry during Take-off, Climb, Decent and Landing. Simply because there heads feel like they're exploding and they have no clue what's going on! Completely understandable in my eyes.

[@airbxnee]

@No1ForFlightSimVids Thank you!

[@airbxnee]

@ArmandoHerFlo Not necessarily, the route you would take along with the different jetway I would probably only take 18/20 hours depending on winds etc. When you fly EGLL-WSSS you would fly a total different route than trying to go EGLL-NZAA. I believe you would fly high routing. In the case way high over Russia, then drop down to Tokyo then vis versa!

[@YOGS57]

@howardflight09 it also depends on company policy too like EVA air say you should always use auto land regardless

[@Gameflyer001]

It has to do with the airline's customer code. This code identifies the airline when it comes to ordering planes. NZ's code is -19, so that's why you see 777-319ER instead of the base aircraft model number: 777-300ER.

[@airbxnee]

@TheChosenRed Thank you :)

[@airbxnee]

Best food I've had. Remember though - food isn't one hundred percent down to the airline, it's the caterers they use.

[@boeingnerd77]

do you have any set dates when your going spotting at heathrow?

[@punzalan7]

Looks like it's foggy in London. Wow! you really covered the entire flight. Didn't you get tired of filming? Anyway, it a was nice video to watch. Felt like I was flying too!

[@nightowlnzab]

@HeathrowSpottingHD yeah, I don't think the 77L was on ANZ's roadmap, but the 787-9 delays have meant ANZ have had to keep hold of their venerable 767's that toil away mostly on the pacific routes, longer than they expected. I guess Boeing needed to offer something in return for the delays.

[@airbxnee]

@kingflyer223 Yep! Can't blame them though, there ears are popping etc and they don't know whats happening. Also the pressure at that time made us all go a bit 'wheew' as he was turning while trying to Maintain FL80 for the hold so he had to pitch up a bit at the same time of reducing the speed. My eyes that was the funnest part!

[@Slaners100]

Lambourne is the departure route we take to Ireland :-) right turn out of 25L cross acorn and over LAM VOR at 6,000 or above

[@airbxnee]

@TheDominoWolfsburg Yeah I have the Austrian 777 one. Correct me if I'm wrong but the First Officer had a DSLR with a massive lens photographing some of the passing Aircraft. I got a couple of mates that film their flights but don't upload. Mainly because most Airlines have Media Policies where you're not allowed to upload or they have to be screened by someone at the Airline first. Cheers!

[@FlyguyLonnie]

Poor baby her ears we're hurting after long flight. Video good.

[@DEFENDER1able]

Excellent video, beautiful cloud and very clear .How long was the flight?And how many times did you eat because of the long journey.?

[@Honza8778]

@HeathrowSpottingHD sweet, thanks! Hope you ll make some awesome video of your journey to LA ;)

[@lytee3720]

the attendant (at 16:00) spoke four languages...this company is very professional

[@airbxnee]

@superskullmaster Yes but Nautical Miles is what Pilots in Aviation work with.
