American Airlines - Boeing 777-223/ER - DFW-MIA - Takeoff and Landing - Inflight Series Ep. 76

[@JustinLHopkins]

I will and always will be obsessed with those 777 wings. They're beautiful.

[@sla31]

They are indeed! The lighting on this flight definitely helped! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@SFAPowerhouse]

Alright, taking the big Triple 7 to Miami! Let's go! 1:24 I don't recall ever being on a Triple 7, but the interior looks awesome! Big and lovely! 3:32 What carrier is that going down the taxiway? The tail doesn't look familiar at all! 4:09 The ERJ preps to go as one comes in to land and another is in the distance. Busy, busy, busy in Texas! Nothing new to me. 5:39 I noticed how the flap directing the engine thrust adjusted down as it went to full throttle for takeoff, only to point back up for a moment and then down again. Then as y'all left the ground, it went with the turning of the plane...It never ceases to amaze me how far aviation has come to perform its best! Directing thrust exhaust based on turn direction! Amazing! 8:00 I love the big wings as much as the next airplane junkie, but can't really see much down below. Oh, well. The machine has to have what it needs. 8:59 WHEW!! Now, that's a cool turning view! Also, I want to say that airport down below was Dallas Love Field (DAL), but I can't be sure. Knowing that y'all took off from Runway 17R makes me think y'all were high enough and not that far away from the airport to see it. 10:34 Ah, pretzels and soda. Nice snack for this relatively short flight (long to me is 3+ hours). 11:37 I have to ask: Does AA, or any airline for that matter, have the planes regularly washed to get rid of the dirt and grime like what I see on the wing there? Just wondering... I know it's not like taking it to the nearest Car Wash or anything, but does that ever happen? 14:12 Spoilers up.....descent approaching or just a brief slow-down? 15:18 Nice patch of clouds against the setting sun. 22:44 Mighty big flaps for a mighty big bird! 25:22 Man, I had my headphones on, and I couldn't even tell if the reversers were on at all. I'm pretty sure they were working upon touch, but I can usually hear them when they're on. Then again, very big bird....very big fuselage to absorb sounds. 27:01 Ooooh....mood lights in the cabin. Neat-o! 28:00 Hang on! Am I seeing this correctly? Miami has a ground transportation system identical to DFW's Skylink? Sweet flight all the way, man! Very cool to see the big Triple 7 from the inside! By the way, I saw that you switched jobs. If you're ever around IAH or HOU, give me a shout-out, alright? Safe travels, my friend!

SFAPowerhouse The Plane taxiing at 3:32 is an American Airlines a319 with the special America West livery (I believe it was an old airline that isn't around anymore).

[@mooutlaws32]

David Morrison you're correct. America West was acquired by US Airways.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

Thank you, too, for the clarification.

[@sla31]

Alright! I finally had time to sit down and get this all written down :D. At 1:24 yes the 777s are quite roomy inside compared to narrow body aircraft. At 3:32, as others have already mentioned, that is one of American's heritage liveries. This one is for America West Airlines. At 4:09 yes indeed! There are always plenty of ERJs to be seen at DFW. At 5:39 that particular part is called a flaperon. It is effectively a hybrid between a flap and a aileron. As you already noted it has several different jobs to do, and does indeed showcase how far aviation has come. At 8:00 yes it would have been just a bit better if I was just a bit farther back, but it turned out ok. At 8:59 I'm not 100% sure what airport that is, but I can tell you that it is not Dallas Love. Dallas Love has a fairly large terminal, and doesn't have any water around it. That must be a mostly general aviation airport. At 10:34 I always hope the flight attendant gives me the option to have cookies or pretzels. I always choose the cookies. Not on this flight unfortunately. Pretzels had to do. At 11:37 you've asked a question that I really don't know the answer to. I know airlines to have their planes washed. I don't particularly know how often. The airlines always say "that plane ins't making money if it's on the ground." If you reference back to my previous video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIC3cqaBms51qaM&list=PL6poUgHngiIE-WExG3CP0alHh4zqYZfYt&index=2 at 4:20 you can see a 777 being washed. But you can imagine how long that would take... Like I said before. It isn't making money there... So yes they do wash them. Probably not very often though. At 14:12 yes we had started our decent at that point, so they were shedding off some of that speed. At 22:44 yes big flaps, and a flaperon hard at work. At 25:22 I don't remember for sure if they did or did not use them on this flight, but by watching the entire roll out I'm not sure they ever used them. They may have deployed them, but the engines may have just been at idle. They may not have throttled the engines up. DFW-MIA is a very short flight for a 777, so it would've been very light when we landed. The pilots may have decided to save some fuel, and wear on the engines. At 28:00 it is very similar to DFW's, but ins't quite the same. In my opinion DFW's is much better. Again for reference if you want to see my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZmwlaKHfM1_aqs from 3:25-3:28 is filmed from the train at MIA. Thanks for watching my friend! I did switch jobs. Still working in aviation, but no longer for American. So hopefully the airlines I fly on the Inflight Series will be a little more varied now :D. If I am ever going to be in HOU or IAH i'll be sure to let you know. Thanks again man!

[@glorysdejesus9651]

Nice footage and quality nice wing view too, I liked and subscribed

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to the channel!

[@HirosAviation]

Awesome inflight video! Loved seeing all of the American tails!

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@yurlareness]

This is just AWSOME!!! I I agree that this is a very nice swing shot all the way through from beginning to end. You show a lot of patience with study film work this is well done. Very well done... thank you for sharing...Lare

[@sla31]

Thank you so much my friend! I greatly appreciate it! Thank you for watching!

[@delta_5088]

I love how on the larger Boeings how the ailerons will also extend with the flaps.

[@sla31]

Very cool isn't it. That piece is called a flaperon because it is a mix between a flap and an aileron. Thanks for watching!

[@xtremesoccer909]

How'd u like the 777? I'm flying this same plane from Mia to Dallas and back with my job. Connecting from JFK in a little over a week.

[@sla31]

I like it. I enjoy flying on the 767/777/787 on domestic flights. They have more room (not necessarily the seats) but overall the cabins are much roomier. It takes longer to board and deplane though. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@FlyingAsia]

Great video, love the wingview!

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Thatadventureguy321]

As always, amazing footage!!! That landing looked pretty firm though haha!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! It was a firm landing. The captain definitely planted her on the runway. Thanks for watching!

[@JaydenWong]

Great video! Congratulations on 1k subs!

[@sla31]

Thank you very much my friend!

[@theplanesnet]

Great wing view!

[@sla31]

It was indeed! My favorite place to sit is right at the back of the wing. Either that or right in front of the wing so the engine is in view. Thanks for watching my friend :D.

[@skier7378]

Awesome video! You had a great wing view! I've never flown to MIA but i would like to one day! That's a like from me!

[@sla31]

Thanks man! The nice thing about DFW-MIA is American usually has come wide bodies running that route everyday. 763s and 772s. It's hard to find domestic wide body flights. Thanks for watching!

[@MaulinAgrawal1217]

Skylite Productions AA uses 772s and 788s between DFW and ORD

[@MaulinAgrawal1217]

@Leeann Jacket hmmm... I know that they’re often re positioned but they sell tickets on the re positioning flights

[@heroknaderi]

wonderful

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend!

[@kaamsogrimm]

Around 13:21 you can see the sub sonic shockwaves on the inboard aileron

[@sla31]

Very cool my friend. I had not noticed that. Thanks for watching!

[@intransit9333]

Nice wing view. :-)

[@sla31]

Thank you my friend!

I subbed to your channel as well :D.

[@louisdebruyn4395]

Do they ever was these american planes??

[@sla31]

I do not know what that means my friend.

[@elijahdiaz2897]

Usually people don’t have to take plane rides

[@sla31]

What's the fun in that though? Thanks for watching my friend!

[@michyogurung2991]

Only the wing is seen ! Bad photography !

[@sla31]

This video is 7 years old. I've improved my technique greatly since this was filmed... Also, at the time, I worked for American, so I flew as a non-revenue passenger, which meant I was lucky to even get a window. I didn't get to pick where I sat. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this one, but perhaps you'd enjoy may new videos where I don't sit directly over the wing. I post two new videos every day.

[@michyogurung2991]

@@sla31 Thank you very much for your kind response . I didn't make- up very beautifully in my saying , I expressed in a rude manner , sorry for that . Thank you for such videos . I will certainly enjoy them perhaps repeatedly many times as I like aeroplane's bass- sound and the view outside.

[@sla31]

@@michyogurung2991 No worries my friend. I just wanted anyone seeing this to understand that I realize this wasn't a great seat, and I've improved my technique greatly over the years. Everyone starts somewhere, right? Thanks my friend!
