Boeing 737 Landing in Vienna Cockpitview

[@macktheinterloper]

What I find amazing is the coordination and speed at which the pilots are doing things. I know, it's training, routine, they've done it a hundred times, but it's still incredible none the less. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@zuppzuppzupp]

Both the cockpit and the outside are clearly visible. And it's nice to see the F/O controlling the throttle! Really well done!

[@ancestron]

good thing there are people out there that love flying and are good at it. So many frickin buttons and switches! I really admire pilots.

[@1fpm]

this vid is way cool. so intense. i love watching the captain doing flow checks after landing, real smooth.

[@BYZVIDEOS]

i'm so impress with their dexterity in manipulating the switches and buttons. I don't even what are those for! Im so gonna learn it! Looks cool being a pilot

[@oompaloompa413]

What a landing!!!! that yoke was going in 50 directions!!! awesome video man!!! This is the best job ever!!! ohh i cant help but become one.

[@Winglet520]

Excellent.. I love this video, I love the way you mounted the camera so there is no movement. 5 stars, thanks for posting.

[@RojanTrojan100]

Excellant video. Great landing. I find it amazing how quick you guys are working through your workflows.

[@usmctanks1]

thanks for that, I had heard various reasons for shutting down engines in flight, and never thought they were practical, but your answer explained why that is NOT done. I should stop listening to those who give simple answers to complex questions

[@bumscab1]

the speedbrake lever(spoilers lever) can be set to the setting "ARM" wich means the pilot pulls the lever down slightly to the "ARM" setting and that arms them, meaning they pop up automaticlly on touchdown

[@TheCece96]

I want to be a pilot so badly. They do it so flawlessly. Its impressive.

[@BoeingRules]

The 737 does have a pretty loud cockpit, and alot of pilots love the 737 and other Boeings; just like many pilots still love the DC-10. The wipers are not visible because it is all the way down below the windwhield, it is not visible unless you reach your head over the glareshield. There are ATC conversations at 1:16, and you can see the FO reach down to the radio panel to switch the frequency to 117.75.

[@jaguarantony]

This has to be one of my favorite videos on the 737-700, or 800!

[@jhar88]

Yeah your right, the NG versions have a really efficient wing if you start flaring to early they just float and float down the runway. Most tend to flare fairly late and fast to try to prevent a long landing.

[@TheAppleMan100]

well ya your right. on the newer airplanes they have a control above the throttle but some older ones you have to pull it all the way back

[@leon38588]

feel so safe after seeing this landing , thank you so much !

[@mggordon]

One of the better videos on this site. 99% of people shooting from the flightdeck point the camera out the window. Big deal. What all us enthusiasts want to see is the manipulation of controls by pilots, not out the window. Good job.

[@Gunzee]

I live not far from Heathrow and watch these land daily, the noise from the reverse thrust is deafening. There was only one thing louder than it and that came every Tuesday roughly 12:00 or it might have been 18:00, the Concorde! It sounded unlike any other aircraft, almost as if it was ripping apart the molecules of air, the whole house vibrated especially the light fittings and glasses on the shelves.

[@jeanorwin]

@powpop1 You set auto-break min/medium/max(depending on the runway length) and the spoilers in some sort of a standby position. As soon as the hydraulics/systems of the gear/plane notice a "touchdown", the spoilers will automatically activate and the plane will be slowing down due to the break. You only activate the reverse thrust, as soon as you go slower than 60kts you de-activate it again in order to avoid engine damage.

[@18vallancel]

When you've been in the flightdeck of a 737-800 (which I have), you notice that the bright light from outside gives a 'blinding' effect which makes the cockpit look darker. Also, there are moving cars outside, and the plane vibrates more than it shakes, which the simulators don't tend to do.

[@hartiganutube]

Smooth landing!Great video. Screwing the camera on the jumpseat resulted in a perfect picture!Well done!

[@namsook]

how many buttons and switches are there in the cockpit, how could a pilot handle all these thinge? isn't it amazing!

[@GokselFatih]

That's a bit improvised and fast landing. It is totally a style of whoever this pilot is. And I love it. I love improvised landings.

[@guy014]

Whoever is patient enough to see that after 2:10, you can see service cars and people walking outside... it is real. And also, the camera was mounted so that it wouldn't shake upon touchdown. Great vid!

[@747Togi]

Awesome landing, cool stuff! olsonr, it is called a GPWS (ground proximity warning system). Aircraft now have EGPWS installed (enhanced GPWS). EGPWS, I think, has included "TERRAIN TERRAIN" warning i.e. too close to the ground in the wrong config.

[@stevenkiel6452]

A bit windy was it? Bags of yoke movement right until the nose gear touched down :-)

[@Boeing737800MAX]

@jonweinraub No. That is the Ground Proximity Warning System. It calls out the radio height above ground level.

[@finalcitrus]

@beastboss90 the flight crew data services for airlines monitor flying hours so pilots don't pass the threshold of what we call "sky fever". Winter sucks though because delays cut pilots short on their trips and for SOME reason it screws up everything else :( idk if you experience that bs or not?

[@18vallancel]

Frederic333, you are right to be suspicious of the scratchless windscreen and the quiet cockpit. I was lucky enough to fly with easyjet in the flight deck of an a319 a couple of days ago, and I must say that it is unbeleivably quiet in there, you can barely hear the engines at all! As for the camera, I think it might be attatched to the wall above the circuit breakers, hence the small vibrations, and I assume that the resolution is too low to be able to notice bird crap on the glass :D

[@moud22]

Me too. Its a little bit dark in there for a normal sunny day, isn't it?

[@Haxenhans]

No, most have been logo light which is being switched on mostly when passing 10000ft. You can only put them on our off. Or they are inop :)

[@motormusic1]

@taxi7676 Good point on the driving part... but how is it 'safer' to fly than drive? Planes must break down sometimes as well. I noticed the captain only turned a little... cheers

[@icemann002]

Did you watch the end of the video when they turn off the simulator and the screen fades out? Also, modern simulators do portray the "bouncing" on landing as well as turbulence.

[@Thesixem]

im totally wanna be pilot....how often i watch this video...its inspired me ....impressive...

[@usmctanks1]

I wonder with fuel costs if they are shutting down engines during the roll out to save fuel? are there new flight procedures for fuel savings i.e. shutting down engines during flight to save etc..??

[@RasM3211]

you are the best damn pilot i have ever seen land planes in all three of your videos. your a pro

[@falconflyer34]

I've never flown a 737, but it looks like he really scooped that landing out at the bottom. The countdown from 50' came pretty fast.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

The landing is soooo perfect you can´t even believe it. It´s perfect! Pilot Kai

[@AdamAviation]

@MrDaan747 They connect their route up through Waypoints and other navigation equipment which is then entered in the FMC and it draws the purple line on the Heading indicator.

[@dinohoo]

@jeanorwin correction here, u activate reverse thrust upon touchdown, and deactivate RT at 60 kts to prevent damage:)

[@Harti2000]

Gute Idee, die Kamera fest zu installieren! Super Video!

[@patrick3178]

thanks i did see it strange that they use the pedals to steer the aircraft on the ground cause everytime i watched an aircraft moving i never saw the rudder or the winglets on the wings(which i forgot what they are called) moving but many thanks.

[@_sunsor]

CaptainZ1627: It depends, usually it is not a problem. depending on the distance from center of thrust to the nosewheel, it could be a factor, but with proper differential braking I dont see it as a major problem.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Best Landing I Have EVER SEEN!

[@goingtobeapilot]

Your right though, I just played it again and he does move that thing arround. I wonder if there were a lot of winds.

[@TheNudeBiker]

Don't know what some of you are talking about. These men just do know very well their machine. Perfect landing.

[@smartalpha]

Perfect flare!!! Fast and precise, altough I wouldn't try it many frequently.

[@Gizmolv5]

Great Teamwork, they went through everything really quick.

[@djknightmare666]

you talking about when he pulls on the handle and turns around? its just a hand that u use to adjust the seat????

[@loscantos]

wamux...can u explain the movements the co-pilot does with the throttle when they touch down? i thnk first he reduces throt and then engages reverse....thnx!!

[@andyplace]

No, it just looks like that. The yokes move in Unison by a control mechanism. FO landed it, watch him controlling the thrust levers.

[@kissklassics]

flyboy...I agree. Except for a little shaking, the cockpit never moves only the outside does.

[@appleglory]

holy shit? smoothest flare i have ever seen in my entire life

[@andyplace]

That's the master caution switch, and pilots push it each time, so that when a new problem comes up, the are alerted again. This way, they don't ignore the indicator. Also, they can bring up all of the problems by pressing recall. Just FYI stuff.

[@pilotwave]

man, they make it look so easy. very impressive!

[@cfg003]

@hourbuilder boeing 737 does not have a 40 ft call out. it jumps directly from 50 to 30

[@Biggin66]

You can compare the visuals from this movie to 1 of my 737NG cockpit movies, and decide for yourself if its a sim. See how much camera shake there is after touchdown with reverse thrust, and braking on a pretty smooth runway. Sims are very smooth during the landing roll-out, and the visuals are amazing these days.

[@FoxtrotSierra_FL410]

@FSX09pilot The allowed maximum is 20 knots, but for curves you shouldn't go over 15 knots. Also try to not stop in curves, because you'll need a lot of power to accelerate! For straight parts, it's ok to speed up to a bit less than 20 knots. But remember to reduce thrust as soon as you're near a curve... just because breaking means wasting energy!

[@notar1]

Why so important to shut off all switches so fast? did captain correct thrust reverse control when co- pilot let go ..?

[@yousurfer2]

in crosswind landing do you angle the plane slightly into it and increase power to stay in line with runway?

[@sk8ersagz]

u notice when they off the course n stuff like that, a warning light comes on, then the captin pushes it to reset it

[@goingtobeapilot]

So, I have a question, I know about the parking brake, and the auto brakes and how they work, but are there other brakes as well? I mean I have always wondered if there is like a break switch on the yoke, or anywhere else. Thanks for the help! : )

[@TimFit86]

lol how fast they are with the switches on the top! respect to all pilots o.O

[@Aviator213]

Flare looked fine to me, looks like there was a bit of a crosswind and thats why he had the yoke moving, all in all it looked like a decent landing, wasnt that rough

[@powpop1]

just touching down is one activating spoilers or speed brakes, and one reverse thrust?

[@Winglet520]

It was probably a little windy or the pilot flying is new and still a bit tense at the controls.

[@falconmanf16]

Yep I heard it. And this time I actually noticed it too. It's very sneaky if you don't pay close attention to it, but the noise helps to seek it out. Thanks ^_^

[@samfisherman007]

@imdudits2 pilots hardly ever touch most of the switches, how often do you flick your cruise control or wiper switches or high beam in your car? not often

[@falconmanf16]

It looks as though the plane didn't even touch back to front it just hit the runway. That is interesting. Do all landings from cockpit look this way? I will go check. :)

[@finalapproach42]

That depends on the software version of the airplane. Either it does it or not. You can't turn it on or off.

[@BoeingRules]

Most 737NG's like this one have an EICAS. Unless if the displays are configured to emulate the 737 Classics which does not need an EICAS.

[@HolyTrouble]

It is actually pretty easy to learn what a single button does. When I was studying to become a pilot I thought that it was harder to learn flight vocabulary than buttons.

[@Pewpew4]

That was an excellent landing. A little bit over-flared it seemed like to me.

[@767nutter]

video real, plus one thing i dont think anybody mentioned about the speedbrake is the reason why it was armed was the green light just above the captains ND, thats the light that say the speedbrake is armed

[@SaulBasley]

Yeah fair enough, but most pilots I know (including myself) handfly onto the localiser, usually because your being radar vectored and I think it makes it easier, and also because who wants to be turning knobs all the time rather than actually flying the plane! Also, you dont start descending once established on the localiser, you always intercept glidepath from below, you hold localiser and wait for the bar to drop to you, then start the descent, but i'm probably just being pedantic now!

[@Askelairlines747]

i love when he smashes the thrust reverser forward :D

[@mirrorgust]

strange !!? why is the FO handle the throttle while the captain in control ??? he could have engaged the AT if he don't want to control the throttles and disconnect it when flaring anyway .. nice vid ;)

[@18vallancel]

you don't have to speed up in a crosswind; forces acting perpendicular to the aircraft don't affect its forward velocity

[@pkkb]

i guess it is about the reverse. if you leave the thrust a little on, the reverse's efficiency is much better after landing

[@rosewetzel8284]

This was a great landing but which airline were these talented pilots flying for?💞✈️🇺🇸💞✝️💞

[@Kopihucky]

No.. planes on the ground use a tiller to turn not rudders.. so unless the plane was skidding sideways across the pavement it would not be much diff.

[@taxi7676]

@motormusic1 the change that you crash with a car or even getting hit by a vehicle when walking in the city is so much bigger than crashing with an aircraft. you should be afraid when you take a taxi to the airport. the 737 is a very good aircraft and about that steering: the captain turned a little bit to the left. thats why it moved slowly. and in the air you don't need to turn real fast.

[@18vallancel]

Descision height isn't regulated by any scientific institutes, it's decided on by the crew through the FMC, as the DH varies depending upon visibility and other factors.

[@ernanihi]

Hey my friend.. ! Where can I find place with those simulators to enjoy..?

[@whoddaya]

Is this a real cockpit? Seems like a training one more like. GOod one, though!

[@ChrizRockster]

Yep thats bull. In certain daylight conditions and directions a cockpit can be dark and require panel lights. Its a real landing, especially when they pull up at the gate and there is all sorts of busyness going on outside like random traffic (white van at 2mins for instance).

[@kissklassics]

how do you know who it is clapping? were you there? it just as well could be someone in the sim behind them.

[@XxStalkerxSasquachXx]

@daniel30650 Actually it was manual, at no point in this video was autopilot engaged, plus they shouldn't have it on anyway. There was a perfect visibility and they used ILS to lineup.

[@AeroB737Sim]

Because I do not want to let a question without a answer. When I remenber correct it is 4.4 ft/sec.! To know it correctly I have to spend a look in manuals, like the F/O! The video is top and the landing is wonderful!

[@arayashikinoshaka]

@hourbuilder ok mr, over here our crj900 recognises when we are on ground (pressure on landing gear when down and park set), that if the engines turn off, automatically the plane shuts off master for hyd, a-ice, probe, door, lights... what i mean, is that on ramp, with park set, the master is set for "ramp", dont know the 737, beautiful plane, but i stay with the crj :D

[@18vallancel]

@HHan13 Nope. Runway lights reflect off the side-wall in the flight deck. Sims don't thud when the nose wheel makes contact with the runway and you don't get AI trucks that look as good as the real thing. Oh and you can see a person walking in the distance just before the end of the vid :)

[@BoeingRules]

The pilots did not cutoff the fuel until after docking, as shown by the two announciator lights above the captain's head. It's a common misperception that planes save fuel by flying with one engine off, the inop engine actually produces drag and put alot of strain on the other engine. Some airlines do have procedures for one engine taxi, since taxing does not involve aerodynamics, but as we see here, Austrian (Lauda) does not have such procedures for its pilots.

[@SaulBasley]

Well, you didnt mention anything about reverse thrust, but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt! Also you never use reverse thrust to lower the nose, you use it to slow the aircraft down once all wheels are firmly on the ground Also, just a little bit confused as to why you think most pilots have the auto pilot on when they are in line with the runway?? Are you thinking about auto land using an ILS?

[@18vallancel]

Not necessarily, because you can't see either of their hands and the yolks move together. Usually the one landing the plane is also the one controlling the throttles, in this case the F/O

[@hathawbj]

@RockyRaccoonsFriend Because the 737-800 is a beautiful modern airliner. For those who know the procedures, it is rather interesting too.

[@18vallancel]

The camera doesn't move because it is mounted. Also, you can see reflections from the runway lights on the wall to the right of the camera, so it is real.

[@Concorde707]

i could be wrong but from a 747 i no u cant really tell i think the main wheels touched and when the camera shooked it was the front wheels that touched down cuase without a flare that plane at that speed would bounce

[@SaulBasley]

Oh, fair enough, sorry about that! I fly a whole bunch of piston twins, ranging from the smaller partenavia P-68, through to midsize C303 and Islanders, all the way up to C404, all single pilot which is great fun and really challenging. I also do a bit of freelance and instructional work, eg ferrying a TB-20 from England to Abu Dhabi, which few pilots get to do these days. I'm young so want to vary my flying whilst I have the chance and move onto buisness jets later.

[@BoeingRules]

The nose gear running over the taxiway centre lights, they protrude out of the pavement just a little, just enough to be felt.

[@goingtobeapilot]

Ok, so I have another question... Are an aircrafts wing lights adjustable, because I was just on a flight at night, and the lights on the tips of the wings at the last min. turned to the plane. Through the flight they were pointed out/back and at the end they turned in to the plane. Does this mean that they can adjust them?
