Aircraft ‘Plug type’ doors- B747 demonstration

[@merlynnelindo4766]

Thank you Captain for ALL of your educational videos.

I don't know what's more incredible ... that door design or Capt Obet.

@@n6mz cheers😀

Thank you for explaining the plug type door,. When I first heard a plug fell out, I was assuming some kind of plug but not realizing it a BIG plug!!

[@grace777333]

As a non flying person,I must say each time I watch your video I feel more and more like a pilot. Sir You have a special gift of making complex concepts look so easy and digestible . Best skipper 👏👏👏

Great demonstration Captain! I've always wondered how a "plug type door" could open outward, but that demo showed exactly how.... the mechanics of the door allow it to fit through the "hole" to open outwards and still be pulled back inside the aircraft to close and seal.

[@B747-4OO]

Thx a lot. Again, very good presentation and easy to understand the principles how it's working!

[@faisalmahmood1908]

Pilot obet is always the best, thanks for your videos.

[@phynessea247]

Very informative. Thank you Captain Obet. See you@ YYZ soon I hope.

[@azjoe_6310]

Translation: If at cruise someone tries to open it, just relax and watch the show. Love your videos Captain.

[@NDBoost]

Such a great explanation and demonstration, thanks Captain.

[@TheFurreid]

that guy who opened the door did it when the plane was coming in to land, at much lower altitude.. i forget, was it in Korea.. anyway, thanks for the demo, Capt..

[@wschou711]

it was very difficult to close the 747 door when i was a ramp agent. Thanks Capt Obet for the video.

THANKS CAPTAIN OBET 💥💥🙏🙏

[@CaptainSwoop]

I bet ya Tom could give it a good test.😊

[@Boeing747-8i]

Hey Obet. I like your style.😊 Would you know by chance the Spoiler extension logic on 747-8 at touchdown for panels 4,5,6 and 7? At MLG touchdown (tilt) they come up half way. Sometime later, they extend fully and on KZbin-clips it doesn’t necessarily coincide with NLG touchdown. Weight on NLG, maybe? Not documented in my manual and I‘ve asked quite a few smart people, already. Best, Kim.

[@ace_warrior-d1n]

remember the Boeing door incedent?

[@Bro-wb4yr]

Good morning! captain Obet, I’m a pilot from Canada and I just got accepted for an interview as a Second officer. I’m extremely excited! Any tips?

[@PGJGalasyn-zu1tr]

Is there any book that talks about different plane alarm sounds like terrain terrain pull up pull up

[@petermcgraw7759]

Captain, do the 747-800 and other 747 types have "speed locks" additional fitted to the doors?

[@pilot_obet]

@@petermcgraw7759 I believe it is a customer option- certainly for the B747 upper deck doors we had a locking system as they opened outwards and were not plug type

[@petermcgraw7759]

@@pilot_obet I came across speed locks in HS748’s back in the days!

[@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT]

Would it be possible to open the door, if all packs would fail?

[@pilot_obet]

@@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT Yes- if all the PACKS failed, the aircraft would slowly depressurise until the cabin altitude inside was equal to that outside. Then a door would be open. During routine annual flight testing to renew the airworthiness certificates in airlines, we conduct what is known as a ‘leak test’. We turn off all the PACKS at an altitude of say 35000 feet, then time how long it takes for the cabin to climb to equalize to 10,000 feet or the aircraft altitude as the leaks out- its a test of how well sealed the aircraft is and must meet stipulated requirements :)

Mr Obet Can I have your email?
