B747-8 ‘Superjet’, creature comforts and Captain Ryan.P.

Hello again everyone! Yesterday I flew with a very talented pilot who has come across to the B747-8 ‘Superjet’ fleet from the B777. He is finishing off his conversion on to the B747. The sequence is that he had to complete a full technical course of the B747, then he had 10 sessions (4 hours each) in the simulator culminating in two Simulator check rides. Next he had to do a zero flight time base training session (touch and go landings), in the simulator. Next phase is to fly the actual aircraft with a Base training Captain like myself for his first four takeoffs and landings. We went to Hanoi two days ago, and todays flight to Mumbai will complete his landings requirements before he goes off with a normal (non base training Captain) for remainder of route training. So it’s a process! I wanted to also show you some non technical creature comforts that we have on the flight deck. Lastly I show you the metres sekection for flying in China. Take a watch/listen and hope you enjoy it- ‘Chi Di Gin’- later!✈️✈️✈️✈️

Excelente Profissão. Parabéns.

[@voloftn]

Kind of shocked at how high the cockpit was off the ground.

[@pilot_obet]

Yes- we sit pretty high

[@punk839]

Absolutely incredible insight. And something I've personally never seen covered before. Thank you Captain. Laterz!

[@namilolos]

Capt. Obet, I love watching your videos. As a child growing up in Africa I loved aircraft and built a few from scrap metal, wire etc but never accomplished my goal of working on them professionally, so I enjoy seeing those who made it and have great passion. The 747 series, DC-10, L1011, and the Concorde are top on my list. Safe skies!

[@pilot_obet]

Wow, just reading your message now. I wish you’d made it- you clearly still have the passion for it! Thanks for taking time to watch my posts😀

[@BenzAviation]

Loved your video, earned a new sub! I really loved the part where you put the sun visor and called it HUD comparing it with the flashy 787s and a350s out there 😂😂❤️

Never enjoy flying to china. flying in meters. and the constant "Standby" by ATC every time you request something. and of course priority to their own domestic airlines during arrivals and takeoffs.

[@SyriusStarMultimedia]

I’ve never seen anyone do Boeing 747 videos with such detail. Nice.

[@aviationdhuk]

You guys are awesome thanks for sharing that with us and the 747-8 sure is a beautiful aircraft!

That must be one heck of an experience to fly something that massively large.

[@MegaSKAGGS]

Wow The captain has just landed the plane and then doesn't know where the front visor fits because " I'm not fully rated on this aircraft".......

[@chronicawareness9986]

you guys ever crack your necks and back allot or go to the chiro?

[@samueljohnclark]

You’d think for commonality/safety, flight levels or altitude would now be universally in feet! Wonder how many accidents have arisen from the inevitable errors/mistakes arising

[@jaredjost311]

Always an excelent new video. Keep up that Obet! Big hug from Brasil!

[@pilot_obet]

Cheers

[@roarkm.o.banjonjeffries3713]

So as the first officer was switching it from feet to meters. I noticed on the top of the dashboard that there was some worn area there and I would imagine that that is because you usually use your thumb while you're flying one hand on the yolk right hand left hand on the dashboard switching the switches with the thumb. Just guessing.

[@pilot_obet]

Yes

[@roarkm.o.banjonjeffries3713]

@@pilot_obet well there's some observations for you I had no idea thank you.

Good presentation. I just regret I've never got the opportunity to fly in a 747!

[@delten-eleven1910]

Funny, for such an advanced multi-million of dollars aircraft, the cockpit comforts look awfully cheap. Thise visors look like the first things to break; completely sidelining the 747-8 for overhaul.🤣🤣

[@Smile-uwokeup-2day]

Am 55 will be 56 age February 26,2022. Still want to go to pilot school to this job here I have dream of since 6 years old back in Jamaica n I wear glasses 20/20 corrected . Am an army overseas combat wombed warrior veteran. Can I still do this here . Amazing pilots here cool vlog too . Informative happy nee year 2022

[@patrickmasai1141]

I suggest but not necessarily recommend that the front window visor display the speeds and configuration... Even air force jets have that capabilities and we make much more money than them...Expedite/ with haste!

Big fan of the 747. This time of the year is great in Memphis, TN when the 747's make their annual return for the season. I've got lots of photos of them this year.

Excellent- thank you

Watching these kinds of short films, I want to sit in this third seat waiting for the take off, to feel the positive atmosphere and hear more interesting stories about the 747 or aviation. Greetings to you and your fellow aviators.

captain, do the seats have memory while you're flying, or do you have to re-position it each time you leave you seat(breaks, bathroom etc)?

[@pilot_obet]

Sadly not but there are markers to indicate position
