Boeing 747 fuelling operation

[@Rastafromfl]

I’m a fueler in Orlando (mco) most people never get to see the work of the fuelers lol it’s not a exciting job to some people but it’s important thanks captain and I hope you have many more glorious trips god bless 🙏

[@pilot_obet]

Thank you so much- all the best to you too.

[@barclayjamesharvest9354]

Day by day i am learning more.Now i know few things that are happening while waiting for takeoff.Thanks captain

[@pilot_obet]

My pleasure to share information with you 😊

[@B747-4OO]

Oooh yes, I like the video very much! Very interesting to see the refuling process and the panel in detail! Thanks! 👍

[@pilot_obet]

my pleasure

[@iain8837]

Love these raw unedited videos, interesting job, I wanted to be a pilot but should have also tried to get a job on the ramp doing something like that, instead of stuck indoors all day. Would love to see some basic maintenance that is done. Keep the videos coming!

[@brew-doo5500]

Love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@reeltrides911S]

Absolutely love your videos Capt and love all of the very detailed information. I just did a tribute to one of our Quality Inspectors from Boeing who played a huge part in the building of -400 and -8’s on my channel. So inspired.

[@pilot_obet]

Excellent- thank you 😊

[@bubbleobill267]

Used to be a refueler. Glad to say I don’t miss the smell of raw JetA1. Burnt JetA1 now that’s a different story!.

[@pilot_obet]

A lot of people like the smell of jet fuel exhaust 😀

[@bubbleobill267]

Better than a good Barbecue!.

[@hoaxial2090]

That liquid jet fuel is my cologne when I’m at work refueling 😂

[@priyeshpv]

Hi Captain, do airplanes have internal pumps for refueling or are external ones always required?

[@pilot_obet]

Some aircraft do have pumps but more often they rely on external pumps. That is because fitting own pumps would increase the aircraft weight, reducing payload etc

[@priyeshpv]

@@pilot_obet Thanks a lot for the answer!

[@jacqueskalala5134]

Hello captain, How can you explain a wrong checklist process and how it might affect the all fight operations. Is it possible to correct a wrong checklist while the plan is already airborne? Thanks!

[@pilot_obet]

Hello- yes you can. Just redo where you started originally when you had the failure

[@dialarod8387]

So is it true a 747 fuel capacity is 63,500 gallons and burns a galleon a second, as that is the equivalent of 8 tankers of fuel

[@pilot_obet]

CLOSE TO IT YES. THE B747-400 Has a total fuel capacity of 203,000 kgs which is about 66000 Gallons. The B747-8 capacity is about 75000 Gallons.

[@fusion82]

No way these planes are holding over 600,000 pounds of fuel. That's equivalent to putting a hundred Ford f250 trucks worth of weight inside the wings. Not happening despite what you've been told to believe.

[@DaveQZ85]

Closer to 430,000 lbs of fuel. It's got wing and a center body tanks for all that to go into. The MTW of a 747-8 is 975,000 lbs so that much fuel is not impossible. Humans are bad at gauging large numbers. The wings are plenty large to hold a good portion of that 430,000 lbs between them.

[@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT]

Do you have to turn off all fuel pumps during refueling in the flightdeck?

[@pilot_obet]

Yes they are generally always all off. In some transfer situations or defuel, pumps may sometimes be turned on

[@NEWCHAPTER-gp2xf]

How much do airport refuelers make? I will have 20 years of similar experience in the Army

[@DennisTISAC]

Some companies pay better than others usually the bigger the company the cheaper the wages 😢

[@kualua6612]

@@NEWCHAPTER-gp2xf I retired as a refueler for 17 years. My salary was about 75k.

[@jdsumner]

Love it. Thanks.

[@johnwayne2775]

Keep those videos coming captain 👍

[@grobbelm]

Wow, Captain, interesting video. I assume if those guys make a mistake, then they would have had their CHIPS? :-)

[@pilot_obet]

Ha ha

[@markchristopher9515]

Cool. Thanks

[@johnboxxy3432]

Earth lead to aircraft first then second one to ground .

[@sukottora]

But how do you steer your aircraft when it is on the ground, Captain, I won't sleep until I know!

[@shazdaz1508]

He's already covered that just look back through his previous clips

[@sukottora]

@@shazdaz1508 Really? Cool, I'll take a look. Thanks.

[@KingdaToro]

For taxi there's a handle in the cockpit, called a nosewheel tiller, that's essentially a steering wheel. It's for low speed and allows very sharp turns. During takeoff and landing roll you use the rudder pedals, they also turn the nosewheel but only a few degrees to each side.

Hi pilot Obet 👋

[@tomiokakanrafire]

thank you movie🎥

Wow more than a 5,000 kilo imbalance at the time of that recording.
