"where is the bloody runway" love it!

[@graemewilson1726]

I heard that too and it made me laugh

[@rigor.m9422]

It's become obvious that this is the best a cockpit video can get. Subtitles, perfect camera angles, unusual approaches. 10/10. Ps. make sure your company is okay with filming on the flight deck, i know some guys who got fired for posting footage from the cockpit. It'd be a tragedy if that happened to you man. Edit: beware the MCAS bois

[@melbrooksonbusiness4396]

And another BIG PLUS is that there is no Music.

Merci pour ces excellents reportages! J’en regarde beaucoup et pour ma part vos reportages sont pour moi les meilleurs car a tout moment on dispose les échanges radio , de la vue du PDF, de la vue extérieur ,des échanges et ambiance du cockpit... et tout cela très bien filmé. Impatient de découvrir vos prochains reportages. Merci!!

[@TheJayMoses]

Bravo. Very smooth landing and a great garage point to watch. Cheers.

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

I remember a few years ago flying from Manchester UK to Boa Visit, our Female Captain advised that as the airport had no ILS she had to make a Visual Approach. “Don’t worry I have flown into this airport a lot, just now there’s a Big Black Cloud obscuring my view” she circled and once under the cloud made a perfect landing. Love Boa Vista. 🛬

[@justinli4647]

Excellent camera angle! Really like watching your video!

[@dirkdebelder9745]

Long time no hear. Great video again, always looking forward to them, they are among the best on the net! Love the captain's sense for humour. Das nog eens plezant sé! :-)

[@maltimoto]

Heel mooi video!

[@Tobidako]

Nice Video and epic circling! And the landing very smooth...but I personally don't like the fact, that the Captain puts his hand on top of the thrust lever at 50ft RA. Of course he has a lot of experience but in case of late go around for whatever reason he would first have to put his hand under the thrust levers again to get to TOGA which can cost some critical small seconds..but nice video anyway :)

[@brampanneman8283]

Vette video! Zag eruit als een lastige approach

[@stonnyvans6855]

Hi there, first of all great vid! Just wondering where you got the camera mount for the window handle (blue). It looks custom made (3D printed) can you confirm? If so, did you print it yourself or had it made somewhere? I could use a piece like that ; ) Also, isn't the camera pointed at the PFD blocking your view? It's probably the side perspective which is giving me this impression. And lastly, what's the setup for the WG2 gimbal? Did you place it on your shoulder like a parrot? In my view it's to far from the aft cockpit window to be physically attached to it and other than that, there is nothing in the 73 to properly attach it to. Your insights would be highly appreciated. Have a nice day skipper.

[@anasseljanati3326]

Could you please film one of your Landings in GMMW ?

[@Jake_Peralta]

Nice

[@TheGeschiften]

ferm is een video in het nederlands .bedankt !!!

[@benjamingodesar1656]

Max does your descent rate standing on -800 or -1800

[@krmaty1862]

The landing was so smooth! Good work, keep it up! I think you guys don’t work for RyanAir ;)

[@martin.B777]

Thanks Max! Did you continue to Sal for refueling/crew change? Was that a circling approach programmed in the FMC? Have ground/cabin videos of the circling at GVBA on my channel ;)

[@pilotmax]

We did continue to Sal yes :) Stay tuned for that video ! We only programmed the NDB 21 in the FMC and flew the circling visually ;)

[@Josh-ck8yf]

What airline do you fly for?

[@WyattGoulet]

Were the pilots in the cockpit the whole time?

[@a.jbandel5462]

mooi gefilmd and thanxx!! maar een vraagje: decent 1800 Ft straight in...maar waarom besluit u deze procedure niet in te gaan?? Bij kontakt twijfelt men dus blijkbaar ook en zegt men u goodbye en neem kontakt op met de tower...okee het zij zo,maar roept wel vragen op?

[@pilotmax]

Hoi. De volledige procedure zou betekenen, over het vliegveld vliegen, dan volledig terug, en dan opnieuw draaien naar de runway, dit zou 3x langer zijn. Hier zijn we al van ver recht voor onze baan, de bedoeling is om recht binnen te vliegen, en daardoor moeten we kunnen zakken naar 1800ft. Voor deze aanvraag moesten we de toren contacteren ;)

[@foxtrotthotel6492]

I would like to fly this flight in the Flightsim. What was your departure airport? Great video!!

[@pilotmax]

Brussels ;)

[@paulo948]

Great video. What is “3 green above”?

[@pilotmax]

I'm talking about the 3 green landing gear lights that indicate that the gear is down and locked. There is a set of them on the main instrument panel, but there's an extra one on the overhead panel, that's the ones I'm referring to.

[@paulo948]

PilotMax Oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you very much.

[@DUBaviator]

What are the technical differences between a B738 with and without the shortfield performance package?

[@pilotmax]

Some differences include : The leading edge devices will fully extend at higher flaps setting (flaps 30 vs flaps 10 on NG), the spoilers have a higher deflection, some engine parameter differences on landing. You don't really notice the differences in reality.

[@adamlink2485]

They good pilots

[@Dutchbird757]

Mooie video weer MAX! Mag ik vragen hoe je die animatie op 01:00 hebt gedaan? De TUI kist animatie die de circling weergeeft. Welk programma/add-on gebruik je? Ik zoek hier al lang naar maar nog niks gevonden. Ik hoor het graag van je. Merci en keep up the video's!

[@wim2817]

[@LudwigVonBremen]

reverser was kept on below 60kts even after first officer calls sixty knots...big hope for a clean runway :-P

[@pilotmax]

Yes reverser needs to be reduced to idle reverse at 60kts (which it was already), and reversers are stowed when at taxi speed ;)

[@LudwigVonBremen]

@@pilotmax ok, i got it. thx for the reply, P-MAX ;-)

[@WalleTPLT]

Did ATC ever approved for descend to 1800ft? 2500ft was approved for NDB 21 followed by circling to approach RNW03 and report final, or did I miss something? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pilotmax]

When you are cleared for the approach you are cleared to descend below the platform altitude (in this case 2500ft) ;)

[@WalleTPLT]

PilotMax ok then I follow :-) Make sense of course when you’re cleared for the approach. Thanks a lot for your answer. I’m neither a pilot or ATC. I’m just quite fascinated by and interested in ATC. I listen a lot to ESGG’s frequencies, I live nearby. I like your videos a lot, keep em coming :-) Also, the fact that you have the communication with ATC in the videos makes it even better.

[@thepatzer1742]

Quite a polyglot cockpit. Since the flight is out of Brussels, I'm guessing the pilots are Belgians -- so in addition to English as the universal language for talk to the control tower they speak Flemish to each other and toss in a little French along the way. Très amusant!

[@louisjacob7293]

kan het dat de ldg lights defect waren en dat je op de backup moest kijken?

[@pilotmax]

Landing lights werkten perfect :) En overdag heb je ze helemaal niet nodig ;)

PilotMax that was in ferry config though? fair enough. I've dispatched all sorts to places I didn't think would make it. But you've got pax, surely RTOW is just the same MTOW on these flights?😂

Beste, Ik zit als Nederlander te twijfelen of ik bij de piloten academy van TUI Belgium de selectie zal gaan doen. Ik heb nog een paar vragen die ik op de website niet kan vinden. Zou ik u een paar vragen mogen stellen over de opleiding en TUI Belgium zelf? Bij voorbaat dank! Met vriendelijke groet, Ronan van Langen

[@brampanneman8283]

Niet de KLS proberen?

[@ronanvanlangen6720]

Keuzes.. kls is erg onduidelijk over de financiering en zit momenteel vol. TUI Belgium is er de mogelijkheid om tijdens de opleiding part time te werken en zo zonder schuld en met baangarantie uit de deur te wandelen.

[@brampanneman8283]

@@ronanvanlangen6720 klopt dat is een keuze. Ik vind de site van de tui opleiding zelf erg vaag over de opleiding. Dat is een reden waarom het niet mijn eerste keus zou zijn, maar het is wel degelijk een goede optie! Succes verderl!

[@louisjacob7293]

gebruik je bijna de hele tank om naar boa vista te vliegen?

[@pilotmax]

Op de NG wel, deze dag hadden we een beetje meewind, en toch al 17.000kg fuel. Met wat tegenwind of meer passagiers zou een fuel stop nodig zijn. Op de nieuwe MAX toestellen is er veel meer marge, daar kunnen we zonder probleem met een volle vlieger deze route doen ;)
