Approach and Landing in Sydney, Australia

[@PatrickJWenzel]

Wow, I remember watching this 7 years ago when I was a Jetstar engineer. Fast forward to today and I'm now an airline pilot. I'll see me in another 7 years I guess!

[@borarider669]

hello sir, just wondering did you become airline pilot through flight school ? and in australia do you need to have atpl in order to become a airline pilot ?

[@I8A4R3]

I'm A Sydney born living in Adelaide. I used to holiday with relatives, as a young boy, in leichardt. Earliest memories are of watching the Fuselage of Jumbos flying so low i felt i could just about touch them. Now i can see the flight path from Gladeville Bridge, over Leichardt, & on to SYD Airport

[@Stan_Humphries]

I always approach and touch down with the heels of my feet on the floor so I have good leverage on the rudders. The manual wheel brakes are applied using the top of the rudders with your toes. You don`t want the manual brakes on during touchdown, so heals on the floor is good. I use auto-brakes after touchdown and during the initial roll-out. So when I transition to manual brakes, I guess I grab the glare shield when I lift my feet up to apply manual brakes for the turn off the runway. - Stan

[@LesBell]

@Andrew_koala C-FIUJ is an Air Canada Boeing 777-233(LR).

[@drjzee]

This is absolutely outstanding, thank you! It is really nice that some pilots are able to share the otherside of the flight deck door for those of us that love aviation but aren't pilots. I think it does you and your profession great credit. I hope for many more like it!

[@ronaldsimmons9517]

Amazing how they're arriving in a city where the average 4 bedroom home is about as expensive as the aircraft.

[@maxwellcavill5081]

LOL

[@omaryounis751]

Looooooool

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Although one on the harbour at Point Piper just recently sold for more than a brand new Gulfstream 650.

[@markshanahan5707]

What a stupid comment

[@VulcanOps]

This made me fall in love with aviation again.

[@dextropropoxyphened]

Check-out the 9-11 videos to fall out of love !

[@VulcanOps]

dextropropoxyphened Why should I be reminded? I am not a pessimist.

[@davemail66]

That was totally amazing to watch Stan, you blokes certainly do an incredible job flying and landing those big birds. Thanks for posting this clip.

[@leoniesweetman9622]

Fantastic!! My City Sydney, Australia great flight/landing. Thank you Stan!

[@hcrun]

Gladesville Bridge at 6:21...I used to row under that when it was being built back in 1963.

[@ini_eddie]

Bruce Kennewell How old are you?

[@hcrun]

71.....72 this year. :)

[@ini_eddie]

Bruce Kennewell Ahh. Alrighty. Wish I had that much experience. Great to see people at the age like you on KZbin! (No offense whatsoever)

[@hcrun]

None taken! :) Oh...I've been around the internet since 1993...helped set up one of the first ISPs in Canberra: we started with 14x9600baud modems. :D Brings back memories now I think of it. back then we had DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1 came on 21 1.44Mb floppies. Took forever to install! You youngsters have it easy. :)

[@RedNovaMedia]

I've been waiting to see this vantage point into Sydney all my life. Thank you !!

[@kiwaussiegirl]

Red Nova Same here. Love it! 👍

[@AUmarcus]

Its even better for real.....trust me.

[@arsenaln03]

Best office in the in the world.

[@gmngvlogsmore2013]

Agree...

[@neha85neha]

+Angolan Da Cunha with the best view from the window .

[@KeaneAddict]

in the in the?

[@gavinbarbara]

Thank you for this. And best of all, just the natural sounds, no silly music. Much appreciated :-)

[@raphaelweb9677]

These off-center POV's are better at relaying the real sense of speed of the plane as it's landing. Center mounted cameras create the illusion that the plane the going very slowly. These work better for my eye. Nice vid.

[@MellyHudd]

This is by far the best landing video aswell as taxiing in video ive ever seen! Thank you for blessing me with this video!

[@GARYINLEEDS]

One of the best Cockpit landings I have ever seen. Thank You Sir.

[@markpeterson3220]

Thanks Stan - loved every minute of your clip - thats my home airport! Fine memories of all my long trips...

[@Kidzeegames]

amazing collection of videos you have

[@michaelo4276]

Just came across this video. Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you very much for adding this.

[@Pulkovospotter]

I love this video so much! I can watch it over and over again

[@Pulkovospotter]

***** Yes, it's in my favourites, last time was 2 days ago

[@finmjone]

Fantastic excellent quality video-thank you for uploading this sir

[@daintellekt]

Great video, are you allowed to clamp the Gopro on the front screen, will bring better perspective.

[@danseventyseven]

Looks like a beautiful morning in Sydney. I always get excited seeing Air Canada fly in as it brings back some great memories.

[@basilnewhook7967]

Very nice video Tks for sharing it.

[@TheAirmanYouTube]

Beautiful weather, excellent video, smooth landing :) Thumbs up!

[@markwarwick2920]

Great video Stan. Living in Oz I've flown in and out of Kingsford-Smith so many times and it was great to see such a good cockpit view. Thanks.

[@cansw81]

Such a great perspective. Awesome video.

[@daveojacko]

What a delight to watch! Thank you Stan.

[@paulej2871]

That was awesome...came in from the NW to the Pennant Hills beacon and then straight down the pipe to the N-S runway.

[@misterfaosfx]

Thank you for such a beautiful delicious landing.

[@markh767]

Excellent, thanks for sharing that with us. Will there be more to come?

[@Flightlevel420]

Nice position of the camera you can see outside and have a good focus inside good video thank' s for share

[@radal-shamm4702]

Thank you so much to share us this nice view from your place. to be a pilot was my dream!

[@radal-shamm4702]

I did not have a chance to be a pilot when I had finished high school

[@MrJohn1966elliott]

Beautiful !!!, Well Done....Capt.

[@rushfan3]

Great video, would love tho see a version that includes the tower/cockpit conversations and all the cockpit instrument noises.

[@nicksb5]

That was an awesome video, thanks so much for sharing!

[@marknicol9405]

The Captain looks like Malcolm Turnbull!

[@MrOgulcan35]

+Mark Nicol Who is Malcolm Turnbull ? Malcolm Bligh Turnbull (born 24 October 1954) is the 29th and current Prime Minister of Australia. He became prime minister and Leader of the Liberal Party in 2015 and has been the member of parliament for Wentworth since 2004.[2] Turnbull attended Sydney Grammar School before going to the University of Sydney, where he received a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws. He then attended Brasenose College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, where he attained a Bachelor of Civil Law. Before entering politics, Turnbull worked as a journalist, lawyer, investment banker and venture capitalist. In 1993, he became the chairman of the Australian Republican Movement, serving in the position until 2000. Briefly Minister for the Environment and Water in the Howard Government in 2007, Turnbull was elected Leader of the Liberal Party in September 2008, becoming Leader of the Opposition. In November 2009, his support for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme proposed by the Rudd Government split the Liberal Party, and in a ballot the following month Turnbull lost the leadership to Tony Abbott by one vote. Initially intending to leave politics, Turnbull remained in parliament and eventually became Minister for Communications in the Abbott Government in September 2013. On 14 September 2015, after consistently poor opinion polling for the government, Turnbull challenged Abbott for the leadership and won the subsequent ballot by 10 votes.[3] He was sworn in as prime minister the following day and formed the Turnbull Government.[4]

[@marknicol9405]

+TheBishop35 I said he looks like him, not who is he

[@MrOgulcan35]

+Mark Nicol ahahaha i know it. Only i wanna explain who is malcolm. Everyday i m trolling :)

[@marknicol9405]

+TheBishop35 lol they hatin

[@dietmarwolf79]

Yes mate. Pray to God it wasn't him!

[@bonhamhensley]

10:27 Btw, how do they control the plane movement on land? I thought they use the steering wheel all this long! Is it on auto mode or they use pedals on their foot or what? Somebody tell me please.

[@lukemcgraw6806]

bonhamhensley yes , they have rudder pedals which control the forward wheel of the aircraft and rudder but only on the ground the nose wheel moves.

[@virgin7478]

No this ist not correct. The pedals are only for the rudder. The Instrument to move the Aircraft on the ground ist not to see from this camera perspective. The Captain use it with his left hand.

[@TimGn]

Outstanding! Thanks for that, please keep them coming!

[@colinmark4380]

The placing of the cam is great. The view from this angle is extraordinary for those of us who will never have the chance to be in the cockpit.

[@kaitsho]

Great footage, thanks for sharing.

[@trevorhawk2000]

Lovely angle, a pleasure to watch what goes on up front, thanks

[@richardwilson9434]

Great video, it allows us who have a passion of flying to experience it from the best 2 seats in the house. Keep up the good work and safe flying

[@speedbird41]

The very best POV ever seen! Happy landings ;-)

[@vicjr.1813]

***** fuck off, please.

[@speedbird41]

***** Bist wohl als Kind mal die Treppe herunter gefallen.

[@bigglesbuilding3348]

great airmanship and a beautiful greaser...

[@telosfd]

First time i saw captain to use the stick so easy so smooth. Excellent.

[@tilleyzdogxd7680]

telosfd you mean yoke

[@maurinoana]

Nice, Mr. Humphries!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!

[@Wrahns]

Absolutely beautiful footage of YSSY, just stunning, thankyou so much for letting us see this. Such a shame the days are gone of letting people ride in the jumpseat or letting kids visit the flight deck. Huge Thumbs up.

[@JohnEustaceMarketingConsultant]

Surely the best bit of every overseas trip!

[@boston8581]

The lovely ACA33 heavy arrival. Been watching you guy land since 2011

[@johnrichard6802]

Amazing concentration and professionalism. Love watching these guys.

[@MrSintch]

I have flown with ACA34/33 Sydney to and from Vancouver and it was nice to be with you on the flight deck. The B777 looks like a dream to fly. And you only scratched once.

[@Theflyingtech1]

awesome video mate I'm starting study next year to begin my journey to become a airline pilot and I can't wait !!

[@peep5118]

did you do it?

[@maiaja4]

Excellent video, awesome!!

[@MrSmallgaint]

Thanks Capt Humphries for the awesome videos!!!

[@Luke-zt6xl]

Awesome video!!! Greeting from Perth, Australia

[@toddlavigne6441]

what an incredible career it must be flying commercial planes

[@Diztrix88]

Brilliant video! Should have more like these!

[@ELMASLAD]

Amazing !! What a totally unique angle. Beautiful job ! The tension on your face sure reveals how exacting the landing be, especially at touchdown !! It was great to hear we were on Air Canada !! I called Vancouver home once. At that time a one bedroom apartment on Comox was $250 a month hahaha !!

[@orville747]

loved every second of it...many thanks

[@AliHussain-cn7bu]

Very nice I love flying and thanks Capt.

[@solarisfire]

Awesome camera angle, and beautiful landing. Love this! :D

[@RomanAlexander1]

Thank you so very much for posting this marvellous video. I love Sydney, one of the best cities in the world. Populated by some of the friendliest, most down to earth and Straightforward people it has been my pleasure to meet.

[@scottsoutham8977]

Thank you sir for this high quality footage of your fantastic workplace. Would really like to hear both crew and ATC conversations to provide further perspective on what's happening on the flight deck.

[@roneiserrano460]

Very nice,,i am Brazil

[@dwbtv]

Incredible! Thanks for sharing!

[@solaroz]

Nice office >> The best..Sweet flying and a greasy landing to boot.. Thanks

[@AlfredoGomesMoraes]

Video fantastic as this I still had never seen, who did congratulations, great video.

[@renildopaiva]

sensacional!!!

[@et4751]

My late Uncle piloted Jumbos for Cathay Pacific and this was a nice reminder of what his work place was for the better part of 25+ years. 🙂

[@nenblom]

Darn! I missed the part where he scratched his nose! 😄 Great video!! 👍

[@PSYLLA2020]

It's always exciting to see the Harbour on the way HOME !!!

[@jennykhedr1715]

can't help but love this pilot cool dude

[@Geoffr524]

The B777-300ER is my favorite airliner, and this video is awesome.

[@jensensaviation4098]

This was an air canada 777-200LR

[@wongcg]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[@junaidrafique1840]

Beautiful and smooth landing sir

[@woohooboy]

Totally agree. The view is amazing and what it must be like for pilots to be in the front seat. Truly impressive.......

[@Cmplord]

They make this look so easy - such skill

[@carloscesar6341]

simple and perfect, comgratulations comander

[@BelowMinimums]

You can easily tell its ACA because in the bottom left you see the tail number of C-FIUJ which in google comes up with an Air Canada 777, besides the fact that most (if not all) Canadian aircraft have a "C" and a dash and letters

[@birdie2219]

Good ol AC. great airline used to love the A300-400 via HNL to YVR. Its a long stretch on 777 .

[@dafreedomfita]

Is this Air Canada 747 or 777? Also you can see Tempe Ikea store at 8:55 right of the runway (yellow/blue building), btw if any of you Sydney plane spotters are interested there is a spot right where the minimums are, it is open to public, that runway is used for bigger international carriers, and if the wind is from the south they land just like that dude did.

Beautiful late Autumn arrival on 16R at Kingsford Smith there captain.

[@aHighlandLass]

Great angle! Enjoyed it, many thanks :-)

[@londonpommie]

Nice, I used to kitesurf out in Botany Bay when I lived there and race the planes taking off. I don't think I ever won that particular race! :o)

[@richardbarben6449]

Nice landing and final approach flying Air Canada pilots! Nice to see true pros at work.

[@TheBillzilla]

Good job, Stan. I'm an ex-Air Atlanta Icelandic 747 Classic Captain.

[@Jrider72]

I heard them say AC33 on radio. Its a Air Canada flight from Toronto-Vancouver to Sydney

[@davidreynolds8397]

I love that camera angle/view.

[@alwalk21]

Awesome post mate!!! I hope to be doing this one day.

[@justinryan6880]

Great video. Who is controlling the plane when it taxis off the runway? at 10:30 the plane is turning but neither pilot is steering the plane.

[@f6jordan]

There is a mechanism out of frame called the tiller which steers the aircraft. Captain has his left hand on it

[@hunterfagan6272]

He is using the rudder which makes the plane yaw, the ailerons make the aircraft roll.

[@UnsyNZ]

TupolevPilot He is using the tiller.

[@hunterfagan6272]

yeah, thats another way to turn the rudder

[@UnsyNZ]

TupolevPilot They use the tiller on the ground mostly, because the rudder pedals provide only limited nose wheel authority at low speed. Its used primarily during the takeoff/landing roll to keep straight. The tiller (full NW authority) is used to steer the aircraft on the ground during taxiing.

[@timjbo]

Many thanks for the video, always a good feeling for long haul pax/crew, not long to go... ... kudos

[@DariusPeczek]

Finding a gate is a bit like finding a parking spot in Sydney.

[@schachtelhd4449]

First of all every plane has a gate. It's not like in the car where you FIND one. And second of all the ATCs tell you on which way you get there and you have the route in your flightplan

[@068chasz]

that is simply superb,well done captain

[@MrRundas]

What a short and smooth landing!!

[@Ashe452010]

Fantastic landing sequence into Sydney, right in cockpit

[@shaunakdass]

Excellent video.

[@cypriotpilot]

Awesome landing Captain

[@aerialpic]

Great vid! You might consider processing the raw footage through a video editing program so you can bump up the audio. Thanks for posting!

[@b777jnb]

Great job on that landing, good to see you in action on video!

[@1987Albatross]

Sir, This is an amazing video... Thank you so much for shared... happy flights and happy landings... I am a virtual pilot greeting from Turkey :)
