Crazy technology, BOEING 747-400 LAND at nearly ZERO VISIBILITY!!! cockpit view, Auto landing.

[@kevkev5935]

So impressive. The most dangerous part for these pilots would be the cab ride to the hotel after the flight.

[@2unexpeted]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

👏👏👏

[@nenblom]

LOL!

[@WayCoolDog]

Wish this was true in the real world. Such a difficult landing when the pilots cannot see where they are landing. I could not do it, no way. A ride in a taxi to the hotel is different from a ride landing a 747-400 in zero visibility. I admire the pilots who have the training and discipline to be able to land in zero visibility. Love all pilots!

[@crfdln]

Nothing could be further from the truth. You are clueless.

[@mka70]

Just incredible!!! Was anyone else more concerned once they had actually landed? Lots of faith put into technology there. again, just incredible!!

[@metatechnologist]

Lol yea I was watching until the end to see if they'd make it to the terminal ok!

[@bobsimmons5274]

Yes, I was wondering that also. I was an avionics tech so I was familiar with the IFR and CAT3 flight instruments, but taxi guidance = ?

[@jennybroad1763]

Absolutely incredible! The noise in the flight deck is giving me goosebumps as I spent many flights in the jump seat while my husband flew the Queen of the Skies. Just love it!

[@2018paulrobbinx]

It’s even more impressive that the design architecture for zero visibility landings was established in the 1970s and 1980s, but it did not see wide scale adoption by airlines until the 1980s and 90s

[@markpritchard4447]

First fully automated landing occurred in early 60's and first commercial pax auto-land a year later in 65 in the HS-121 Trident

[@2018paulrobbinx]

@John Smith adapted infers change, I think you meant adopted, and you would be correct as the gentleman stated above. Although the tech was available commercially in the 60s it was not heavily adopted until later as many carriers did not feel the need to put it on their planes. The people who wanted it most, as Mark pointed out was UK carriers because of the dense fog that had caused so many accidents in the UK.

[@johnnyappleseed68]

Chalk that landing up to technology. I didn’t not see ANY visual cues while on approach. That was awesome

[@lbowsk]

None are required on a CAT3 ILS.

[@BST-lm4po]

pilots are highly trained people And wings are not easily won, But without the work of the maintenance man, Our pilots would march with a gun. So when you see a powerful airplane As it makes its way through the air, Remember the grease-stained man with the wrench in his hand, is the one who put it there!

[@cicci0salsicci0]

I think the pov of the camera add to the drama. They can probably see what's really un front of the nose, on the tarmac. From where the camera is situated we can only see upwords. at 05:26 you can clearly see the top of the tail of another aircraft. basically we are watching the sky all the time.

[@thomasjoseph6007]

That was so very brilliant and phenomenal . Hats off to these talented, highly and very professional air crews. Absolutely 💯 spectacular handling these powerful tonnage machines in an excellent and extraordinary manner. 👏..Rightly deserve much appreciation. God bless the Pilots and grant them safe and happy landings.

[@neutrino78x]

Reminds me of submarines, there is no window, and at greater than 200 feet -- we normally operate a LOT deeper than that, I am allowed to say "greater than 800 feet" -- there is no sunlight penetration, and even if we had a light on the boat, we only be able to see a couple yards ahead. So we navigate with passive sonar and a lot of math. (I was a sonar tech.) :)

[@outermarker5801]

Perfect example why 5G towers too close to airport perimeters is potentially catastrophic and banned in most countries. Autoland is completely dependent on the aircraft receiving accurate, uninterrupted realtime Radar Altimeter data. And not just autoland either, GPWS and other safety equipment needs solid RA too.

@@WayCoolDog I would imagine that in a blind test between the two options, most pilots would choose the technology. You might find that were they to have to rely upon guardian angels to help them land their planes in conditions of zero visibility, flying would be considered somewhat more hazardous.

[@xvillin]

So who's plane is this? I'm trying to see if I can remember the sel call numbers, which I don't memorize anyway. It's pretty crazy knowing that you just have to trust where the airplane is going according to navigation. It's pitch black and then just lands. It's really traveling quite fast it doesn't feel like it.

[@sl5311]

I understand the vertical calculation to the ground, but how do they know they have lined up laterally on the runway to the dead center?

[@lbowsk]

The localizer beam is an electronic extension of the runway CENTERLINE. The plane has a receiver and tracks that beam. And I mean centerline. It's just that exact.

[@jimtewa8096]

Boeing without a doubt makes the best autopilot system a true triple channel autopilot so you can fire the CAT 3B Autoland, just don't forget the Tech's that work and Qualify the system that these Pilots depend on.

The amazing part is the 747 series was one of the, if not the, first to be able to do the automatic landing. Unfortunately, from my understanding, it functionality was limited due to it could only be used at a handful of fully equipped airports. The military uses a very similar system for it's carrier landings in bad weather...

[@petertownsend252]

I appreciate the comment with respect to instruments, but it further appeared the pilots were doing were doing nothing more than closely monitoring what the autopilot and automated systems were doing. From a layman's perspective the whole approach and landing appeared to be a fully autonomous operation. It didn't appear as if the pilots were actively doing anything in any "hands on" sense. Am I speaking from a place of ignorance? Did I miss something? It almost appeared like the pilots could have gotten up out of their seats and joined the passengers in the rear cabin during this approach and landing. This seemed like something far beyond actively flying on instruments in IFR conditions.

[@amritlohia8240]

@@petertownsend252 Indeed, all the pilots are supposed to be doing is monitoring the automated systems - they only need to actively do something/touch the controls if there's a problem (e.g. a sudden gust of wind makes it unsafe to continue, or the autopilot fails to maintain the plane on the centre line of the runway).
