Hi everyone! What did you think of this approach and landing video? First time to work with different camera's so I hope you liked it! Any other approaches you'd like to see? Have a great day guys! 😘 Michelle - Sponsored by NordVPN: www.nordvpn.com/dpg

[@thesillypig785]

I was a total noob before I started playing Microsoft Flight Sim, it's so cool to understand at least half the stuff that's going on now.

[@whoprofits2661]

Michelle, another great video! A couple of points: 1. Somehow this video felt even more immersing (better!) than previous landing videos. Maybe it's the cameras' locations and switching between them. 2. It's surprising how shallow is EHAM descent. You stayed at 5000/4000 feet for miles! 3. You need a new aircraft, the way the top of dashboard was moving at landing made it look like a WW1 plane :)

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Thanks for your feedback! Hahaha, indeed! 😌

[@annatamparow4917]

That's because if Michelle stayed with the same airline, it's the dirt-cheap no-frills Ryanair where even the FAs have to buy their own uniforms and baggage is charged extra.

[@AaronHarberg]

@@DutchPilotGirl Maybe the airline could upgrade to the 737 Max 8!

Great video. I worked for American Airlines for 23 years as an aircraft mechanic. I started off as a baggage handler,I’d be one of those guys waiting at the gate. I’m retired now and this brings back lots of memories. Have a long,safe,and happy career in aviation.😁

[@rodneywatson7855]

Another great flight video. Liked the little white message boxes which shows what's going on. However yes, that old plane might need retiring some time soon. Funny the way the dashboard is all melted and shakes like hell.

[@gregorymaupin6388]

Very impressive I miss flying and aviation as a whole. Last year I was in an accident and hit my head and can no longer fly due a TBI. I’m just now learning to walk again so maybe one day I will at least enjoy the skies as a passenger.

[@metalheadmalta]

Best of luck on your recovery!!!

[@mehdimohamed5593]

This is quality. The descriptions of every step and detail on the screen are what makes this video, along with the raw, multi-angle footage. Love it

[@colmortimer1066]

I am sure there are rules and regulations working for an airline, but one thing I love, when I watch more General Aviation youtubers, is they almost always have full ATC recorded. So the viewers hear the pilots communicating with each other as well as any ATC communications. I understand if it is not possible, but if there was any way to include those, it would make these even more special. Even the ones that include ATC are usually not monitoring busy Bravo Airspaces, as GA flights are usually routed around them, so it would be great just to hear all the other chatter you are dealing with as you land, at a large airport, as I try to follow along as well.

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Hi! I would love to add ATC, unfortunately I can't do that at the moment due to privacy reasons and company policies. Maybe in the future though!

[@Juanvanemmerloot]

I think this one was one of the best landing videos That I have seen on KZbin.I love your camera angles as well as all the extra information you have put in this video. Keep making these great videos

This was wonderful. It’s especially calming seeing a a highly educated, articulate, and professional pilot in control; exactly who I would want piloting any plane I was onboard!

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Thanks Ben! Appreciate it!

[@BillAnt]

Is it normal for the dash to vibrate that much at 9:57 ?? Also is she piloting a cargo plane? Because she's not making any announcements.

[@rossi6113]

What - as opposed to those nasty uneducated, inarticulate and unprofessional ones?? ha ha.

[@tobias9031]

Hello white knight - she is more busy filming herself than being aware of her responsibility of so many human beings life’s lying in her hands.

[@jpdj2715]

@@BillAnt - as she takes the plane to Pier D, this must be a passenger flight. Pure cargo planes go elsewhere on this airport, not to passenger terminals afaik. Not making announcements must have fallen into the editing out cracks. I Guess she was co-pilot here and the other person may have made the announcements. I was wondering the same thing about the dash vibration. Seems to me this will wear out cable connectors in the dash faster than desired - but it my be catered for in the design and component selection (that said, considering how Boeing cut corners in recent years, I feel this needs very good monitoring from the airline's maintenance dept.)

[@nrlazear]

This was the best one I've seen. You showed a over the nose view of the runway on approach, the approach plate and the airport diagram that really gave a great overview! Thanks

[@jamestraynor9947]

We flew out of Amsterdam a few years ago on 18 R, or 360 R it was a 20 minute taxi ride before the engines spooled up. That runway seamed to be in a different town as we taxied along for line up. Nice lighting on the approach, very colorful. Nice to see the plate on the way points and turns. The best time is takeoff and landing. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

[@garykennedy5263]

Hey Michelle, I love your videos and content. I am not a pilot, but I really appreciate that you are a young, intelligent, professional person, who is constantly trying to better herself and others. And I love your accent! I am in the USA. Thanks, and keep the vids coming! I actually am learning by watching you!

[@tonywatson7988]

A picture of calm competence! As a retired RAF transport pilot I rarely watch aviation videos nowadays but occasionally I need a fix and this did it for me. Great camera angles. The only additional thing I would have liked to see was the stand entry guidance system. This was hidden by a windscreen pillar. It was very helpful to include views of the STARS and the taxiway layout. I have often flown in and out of Schiphol but never as an operating pilot. My daughter flew for 13 years as first officer for Flybe until shortly before that airline's demise then for about 18 months as first officer with BA on B747s before being made redundant because of the effects of the pandemic. She then worked briefly on the shop floor of a supermarket before returning to BA on the ground in the LHR cargo department. She has now just been offered a position as B747 first officer with Longtail cargo airlines and thus avoids having to join the BA low cost operation planned to start at LGW which would have been for a minimum of 5 years during which time she would not have been eligible to apply for another BA long haul fleet at LHR which is what she now hopes to do in due course. I am happy for you that you apparently managed to avoid the dreaded Covid redundancy epidemic.

[@michelv580]

Nice video, is the landing more difficult when you are heavy loaded?

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Thank you! Probably easier to land a heavier airplane

[@denisemeredith2436]

I have flown in and out of Schipol many times as a passenger and it was great to see a pilot's view through the cockpit window. You did a brilliant job of landing and parking - the Captain should have more faith than clinging to the dashboard lol. Have you ever flown into Birmingham (BHX)? I know that can be tricky especially on a windy day. My house is under one of the flight paths into BHX and sometimes there can be a stack of planes circling and waiting their turn.

[@DutchPilotGirl]

Hi Denise, never been to BHX yet, maybe in the future! All the best

[@MaartenOtto]

Did a AMS-BHX several times in the Dash when FlyBe was still around. It also is my all time favorite aircraft in the sim and learning to exactly fly it on FlyBe’s Standard Operating Procedures I sat next to three friends and when I yelled V1..... Rotate.... Acceleration Altitude, set RPM 850... and the aircraft did exactly that one or two seconds later. One of them asked “need to tell us something we’re not aware of you do for a living”

Most impressive landings in real plane: Florence (maiden flight Sabena Embraer) by the mountain side; Kai Tak (now closed) on very windy day and hard landing; Quebec with a KLM MD12 (medical emergency landing November 2001); Aspen during snow; many LCY landings. Preferred airports for flightsim: Innsbruck; Sion; Serajevo; Salzburg from the South; Nice; Zurich

[@jimmurphy6095]

14:45 Watching the Pilot grab the dash to stop it from shaking reminded me of every one of the 4 737's we were on over the last weekend. They all felt like they were going to fall to pieces as soon as the reverse thrusters were deployed. Fun stuff...

[@ephotosaver]

I love these videos and the attention to detail they stand out above all others I've seen, for example the different camera angles, charts graphics, and text explaining things on the screen. When you approach the minimums I like the camera facing the runway head-on as you have shown. Well done pilot!

that looked like a really smooth landing :) my compliments. just had a less smooth one yesterday in almost zero visibillity. sat right behind the wing and were on final aprouch with flaps down and gear out when all of a sudden the engines powered back up and gear and flaps retracted. so they flew us around once and i guess they decided to land us on instruments. deff. my first experience of this kind, and i did put a hand to the seat in front of me :-D but a minute later we were taxying the runway :)

[@Jimorian]

After hearing the various pilots on KZbin talk about go-arounds and the reasons for them, it's comforting to know that if the plane I'm in does a go-around, it's because the pilots are putting everybody's safety first by not landing unless they are 100% sure about it.

[@simonstininato5851]

The initial plane I flew on was a Canadian made plane, twin engine about the size of a Boeing 737. Anyway when we got lined up on the runway and the pilots put the pedal to the metal.....I was amazed at the thrust and acceleration that plane had. Very exhilarating and fun ! Good job Michelle !

[@eckligt]

The caption about the automatic adjustment of the trim wheels had me thinking: Is there any health and safety concern related to those trim wheels adjusting spontaneously, like getting your fingers jammed/pinched next to them or something like that? And then I wondered more broadly: What health and safety concerns are there for pilots when you exclude everything that deals with keeping the plane safe? That could be a video :-)

[@DutchPilotGirl]

It's definitely something we have to be aware of. Many pilots, me included, bumped their knees into these trim wheels at least once!

We didn't have doppler to warn us coming into Livermore at this time. I was flying with mybuddy in his Cessna 310 after an annual. I was at 810 AGL and the wind gusts were unbelievable. Suddenly, it was like a giant hand pushed the nose of the Cessna down hard. I had to fight the instinct to pull back on the stick because I was coming in without power. I would have stalled. I pushed the control yoke down slightly and made the landing. He and I both kissed the ground that day as we exited the aircraft! That landing had to be a little scary in gusts like that!

[@garyholtfreter5076]

I am very impressed with you. I loved that you gave footnotes, this really helps explain what you are doing.

I’m 76 and still get excited to watch and listen for aircraft and head out to my deck to spot them.

[@RobertoRMOLA]

Extremely standard! Very nice Captain Michelle! I suspect you chose this video to post because of the landing, which was one of the best executed ones I've ever witnessed. That's just it with any Boeing 737: don't do anything with pitch until you reach 10 ft. After that it's just power off and flared it. Nicely done! A very interesting thing is the tiller on the right side. I didn't have that luxury in my first officer days... What about the docking system at the gate? Is it ground configurable for the 737 right seat? Best wishes from Brazil!

Hi Roberto, thank you for your kind words! Nope the docking system is remotely activated by the ground crew 😉 All the best, Michelle

Hi everyone, hi Michelle, Amsterdam schiphol is my favourite destination while I am from there to but not living there. Amazing Netherlands!!! Next video could be an approach video of Geneva which is my current home. The video is nicely added with such a nice comments for the aviation enthusiast. How many hours of adding it takes. Hope you and your will colleagues are keeping up in this difficult corona circumstances. Thanks!!! Frank

Thanks Frank! Yes it takes a while to add the comments but I feel it's worth it. Will try to record a flight into Geneva! All the best, Michelle

Can't believe I only just found your channel, amazing job, great videos, thank you

As a passenger, I always feel a sense of relief that we've landed. How do pilots feel when the wheels touch down? Are they somewhat stressed till that point?

[@davidandjessicaclay2333]

The stress can increase at that point particularly at an unfamiliar airfield with a long taxi route that has runway incursion hotspots. Only by the time the engines are shutdown can there be relief. Even then you will be preparing for the next sector.

@@pattyhaley9594 No, because nothing they’re doing is dangerous and pilots aren’t scared of flying as that would be a big issue

[@markg7963]

Pilots don’t really stress over any one aspect of the experience. For us it’s a continual chain of actions and expectations. We are constantly doing everything we can to manage what is about to happen and control the situation and keep things inside our comfort zone. Sure, if you have to land in really shitty conditions we are happy that that is behind us successfully, but until we are safely at the gate and shut down, we don’t really let our guard down. Taxiing on a large airport is an experience full of perils if we take a wrong turn, can be fatal for many. Normally flying more than 2 or 3 legs in a day so even at the gate we are already moving on to whatever is next. It can be very busy, and we need to stay focused. Emotion, worry, and stress are best left out of the equation, for they solve nothing and only contribute to distraction.

I liked the descriptions on the screen explaining what is going on. Thanks.

As a somewhat nervous flyer your videos are very reassuring. Thank you.
