Asking Permission to Fly to Mexico City

[@74gear]

Based on the comments I can see some people are confused if I was legally allowed to do the flight. That is why I called to confirm that I was allowed to do the flight, however who is going to fly the flight is at the captain's discretion on any given day. That is why I was asking him to fly, not because it was prohibited for me to fly it. Enjoy the video.

@Phillip Banes Doing it in real life can't be done in a simulator.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@Phillip Banes high elevation is done in the sim. But it’s not the same as real life.

[@macattack123mattc3]

@Phillip Banes You can't simulate real life, also you can't realistically or economically train pilots on every single "special" airport. Also, booking simulator sessions just to go to one airport wouldn't be economical either. In this case, just going and doing it is pretty much the best option if the captain has flown in there before, and can ensure a safe landing.

Welcome to Mexico. I live in Merida in the Yucatan which is incredibly hot and fly into CDMX often.

I appreciate seeing a new perspective on MEX which is a fascinating airport and probably "fun" to fly into.

Free back readjustment with every landing in Mexico City. Sometimes it bounces so hard that it goes airborne again, and it feels like they're not gonna be able to get it back down.

[@cccherry05]

@@Anna_Xor I’ve definitely prayed during a landing or two. Also how the airport is directly in the middle of the city and probably overdue to be replaced. And all my landings there have been on 737s or similar size Airbus so trying to imagine how it would be in a 747 (sad I’ll never experience) so I even panicked a little when the captain said yeah full thrust reversers 😬

[@Anna_Xor]

@@cccherry05 I've flown in some 737s as well. I don't know if I just lucked out and the pilots were really skilled but on my last two trips the landings and takeoffs from Mexico City haven't been that bad. (I probably just jinxed myself.) There have been attempts in the past to replace the airport but for some reason it never works out. I guess it's because it's more accessible where it is, It's not even a 20-minute drive from the Zócalo in the city centre. In my opinion the only thing that would actually work would be to expand it's but it would displace a lot of people. Originally it was at the edge of the the city but now the city and metropolitan area have grown so much that now it's in the middle of everything.

The -8 isn't just bigger, its a lot heavier. The skin was gauged up over the -400 and there's extra metal in the nose gear torque boxes, and you actually have less lift from the flaps because they are not segmented like the -400 flaps, and the main landing gear doors look different on the -8 because they had to be redesigned so the horizontal stab would work efficiently.

Holy cow, that's a lot higher than Denver. I had no idea. And I noticed the air thing in Denver too but was expecting it.

[@bradhaughton6698]

When you showed the diagram of that airport and all that red lit up, I would like oh boy. This is going to be a nightmare for you guys.

I want you to know Kelsey I've been watching your videos for quite a time now and I've always been interested in aviation my dad was in the army Air corps and then the United States Air Force he taught aircraft maintenance at Sheppard Air Force base but man I would go up with you anytime and I would feel completely safe but anyway I like the excitement you had in your face when he allowed you to land there that was cool.

i LOVE when an employee is excited to get to work and challenge themselves.. regardless of whether(weather

Kelsey: Can I fly this leg? Captain: I was gonna fly but if you wanted to, I could care less. Then that face the Kelsey makes. I’m laughing so hard.

[@lillian8589]

You make me smile. That is saying something. I am so pleased you got your landing.

Kelsey never disapoints us with his content 👇

[@b0rd3n]

You got me. I upvoted. Damn you! :)

[@ericmcgovern1764]

No upvote from me. Asking for likes is pathetic

[@b0rd3n]

@@ericmcgovern1764 so you don't agree that kelsey never dissapoints? I believe he's not asking for himself but to support what he says, which is... well, read the comment. You are right tho. even if politicians do it all the time and any other elected official, it's certainly pathetic to ask for support of a true fact, right? I don't know man, maybe you should start considering more than what you can see on the surface before taking decisions on stuff. I'm sure it would be a great life improvement for you and the people around. If not that, how about injecting some humoristic fun into your life once in a while. I guess it's pathetic too.

[@T0AST_WT433]

@@ericmcgovern1764 Yeah but didn't really ask. I did that to see who agrees with me. I don't care about likes. They don't do anything.

Glad your airline finally okayed you to film while on the clock. Makes for new interesting content.

Mexico/ locked in van / Security rolling up their sleeves headed toward you... Ransom demand to follow? That felt like a movie, well done you and your assistant. A lot of care and talent went into making this.

The video editing and content is TOP NOTCH, Kelsey! It feels like I'm watching a Hollywood production...just on a topic that I actually care about! Thanks!
