Airbus A400M Exclusive View from the Cockpit - Landing at Brussels

[@Tiax776]

02:35 That was uncalled for. I think the landing was fine.

[@Gojournal]

The video is truly impressive! The footage from the cockpit of the A400M is unique, offering a rare perspective that not everyone gets to experience. The view is amazing, and this experience truly makes the video stand out. Thank you for sharing!

[@Patr10]

As someone who work on A400m project, I have the chance to visit this mighty beauty this september in Melsbroek. It is of course a special occasion for people who work on this project. I make mostly main landing gear parts and some flaps(mechanism) parts. My work is not that far from. Straight in line with RWY02 :) btw great video 🫡

[@AlexvanNoije]

I really loved it to be able to fly this beast. To my opinion a very decent aircraft for the European forces!

[@bruno84]

Beautiful beast!

[@AlexvanNoije]

Definitely

Superb. The same model of the Belgian Air Force flew from Kinshasa to Lusaka, last week.

The A400M is just an awesome appearance!

[@cabochart]

Yes very exciting to land in Brussels

[@AlexvanNoije]

it was very nice to do it once from the cockpit 😎

Very interesting to see the F/O using both displays as ND. Didn’t know it was possible!

[@AlexvanNoije]

Me neither 👍

[@user-os6ed5tq6d]

It’s possible because the HUD is certified as primary flight display.

[@09shadowjet]

Probably the only Airbus that can do that.

[@phil-nz5nh]

Superbe vidéo 👍👍👏👏

Great upload. This aircraft is my favourite propeller aircraft. I'd like to know about the rank slides. It looks to be a very well organised flight deck. I spent many happy hours at Brussels airport. 😊

[@Chris_at_Home]

One of these flew over our house a few weeks ago here in Alaska. I heard it coming from a long ways away as it is very noisy.

[@AlexvanNoije]

Big plane much noise :-D

[@SytseKuijk]

It is clearly 25R of Melsbroek/Zaventem. You can see the terminal A at the left side and in the distance the NATO headquarters building. Also, around 500ft, you can see the graveyard of Steenokkerzeel, to the left of the flightpath.

[@AlexvanNoije]

Fully correct 👍

[@Belgianbanshee]

A major, a captain and a captain-commander in the back

[@thehighwayband]

If I'm not mistaking it is a Major (pilot) a First Lieutenant (second pilot) and an Adjudant-Major (flight technician). But I could be wrong, the colors are not that distinctive.

[@pikachu6031]

The Captain / Commander ALWAYS sits in the Left Hand Seat….No matter what Rank they happen to be…..

Yes it was. Safety of NATO personnel is important.

They’re not blurred.. You should set the blurriness way higher and also blur the faces throughout the entire video.

Le comptage se fait ici en pieds, mais c'est en effet le même principe, d'ailleurs regardant souvent des vidéos de Dmytro Antonov, je constate qu'ils sont devenus maîtres du jonglages entre le métrique et l'impérial, car ils utilisent les 2, mais préférentiellement le métrique...
