Litteraly the best video i have seen in a very long time. Kudos to Lufthansa and Gabriel with his excellent filming skills.

[@TomSunderland]

Is it only me who thought the pilot in this was 74gear at the start 😂😂

[@Aapoplayz]

😂 I was super confused too

Might be Kelsey undercover, we will never know 😏

I thought it from the thumbnail, then realized it was flightradar, I didn't even know they had a channel. Cool

I'm saving this one to my playlist for multiple views ... What an incredible video! I am so grateful to organizations like FlightRadar24, Lufthansa, and Madeira Plane Spotting for providing access to experiences like this. Absolutely informative and entertaining - THANK YOU

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you!

Fantastic. I can almost smell the “new plane” smell. Beautiful

[@eftu97]

These flightdeck videos are just pure gold! Good job!

[@claycarter3535]

Thanks to Lufthansa and Gabriel. Love these unique corners of aviation with all the quirks and thrills they offer.

[@youxkio]

I went to Madeira (I am Portuguese) on March 2000. They were still working on the extension of the airport as they had to implode the Hotel Atlantis. It was quite a scene to see. But he greatest climax was the airplane landing. Those cross-winds are almost always occurring and they are quite fierce.

[@nikkiredfern4515]

Fabulous! Loved the capt intro to the navigation and way points and how that all works. My first, and only jump seat experience was back in the late '80s on board an Ansett 737 from SYD to AYQ, including the landing at AYQ. Amazing experience, skills and the most stunning views of Uluru .....and so my avgeek journey began! Thanks @GabrielLeigh another great video!

Please keep these cockpit videos coming! Great camera quality, good audio, good editing - great watch :)

[@marcusdamberger]

This video and the previous one over the north pole with the A350 were fantastic videos with enough detail to let you know what it was like to be on those flight decks with the pilots. Superb sound and video, and just enough narration between those quiet moments. I hope Gabriel and FlightRadar24 get's more invites to the flight deck in the future, these are engaging and fun to watch!

[@a320nick]

I am sure that 100% of flightdeck crew have used flightradar24 more than once...

[@QueSeraFredE]

Wonderful capture of the flight to the beautiful island of Maderia. The final turn onto runway 05 is a treat to experience.

Hi Gabe, I enjoyed the flight; thank you for taking us along.✈

One of the most challenging approaches in the world ✈️✨ Amazing cockpit video

Really love this kind of videos! If I would have a free wish: Make it like 45-60min in length! Thanks a lot for providing!

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always my friend. In the old days there was a big hotel when you land on rwy 22 and the rwy was a lot shorter. All dep aircraft had to refuel on the mainland. Looking forward to the next. Be safe!

Very nice video, Flightradar24! Your content is fresh, and seems to nail the sound score, too. Keep 'em coming!

[@mattcherry276]

Excellent video thank you! We were only there this time last month for our eighth holiday there. We love the island, it's become a bit of a home from home and I might even describe it as our 'happy place'. Our repeated visits aren't just because of *that* approach and spotting opportunities, honest! ;-) Also, Pedro's Madeira Airport Spotting channel is great!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

It’s a fantastic island!

[@gerardmoran9560]

Great video Gabriel! Made me think of New York's Laguardia (KLGA)- the last few hundreds of feet of RWYs 4 and 31 are constructed on piers over the East River. Especially bad place for an overshoot.

[@JOHNRUSSELL-v7g]

excellent flight by the captain and 1st officer. thank you. I have never been to Madeira, but have been 3 times to Seychelles and the trip in 2024 was by Emirates A380 to DBX then on B777 to Seychelles Island,

[@coriscotupi]

I've been sharing ADSB data with FR24 for some 4 years now. The web application and the mobile app are first rate. Those flight videos are outstanding too. Among the best of this kind in youtube. As for the unbeatable view during the final turn into Funchal - you just gotta see the final turn into RWY 02 to Santos Dumont (SBRJ / SDU) in Rio de Janeiro, just a few meters from the Sugar Loaf mountain. Might be worth contacting Latam, Azul or Gol for a jumpseat ride in a flight into Rio. It's as breathtaking as it gets.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Good point will definitely add that to the list!!

Thank you Gabriel for that amazing video, that look like that was so much fun and as you said the crew was so inviting and genuine, I wonder what that be the case in the United States with domestic flights and would you be able to do the same thing here? I definitely enjoyed seeing all the sophisticated equipment and the computers and the runway maps, I love looking at those through the live ATC app I have on my phone again thanks for the video it was very interesting

greetings from eddh.. did the rules for being in the cockpit change? When i was younger i remeber flying to maledives in LTU and actually visiting the pilots. FR24 has this option. How so? Id love to know some history. Cheers

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

A lot changed after 9/11. Many airlines have a strict no-access policy still, while others will consider it after extended discussion and vetting. Some airlines see the benefit in press about their flight operations and are open to ideas, and Lufthansa is a standout in this regard!

[@skicrz]

I've only flown with Luftthansa once due to a scheduled flight cancellation out of Munich to SFO. Since I was flying business, I had lots of time to kill in their Munich First Class lounge. Gotta say, it was better than any American flag carrier lounge and I almost wished I had more time to kill. Flight was great, crew was superb and the experience was tops. I only wish I wasn't limited to US planes. Next time I'm on vacation I guess.

[@youxkio]

BUTTERRRRRRRRR.

[@jamessmitka8066]

Alright Gabriel, now you are starting to spoil us with flight deck videos, GREAT! It is fabulous that you are not only getting access but you are going to interesting airports. I might be confused or is this a big surprise video. I believe you showed a “plane spotting” video, not long ago, from the ground at Funchal was this your flight to get there? The information the Capitan gave us was indeed also very interesting, as you have commented about. The qualifications to operate in an out of Funchal are not totally rare though. I can think of an airport in the Himalayas, one known as Lukla. Anyway you did it AGAIN . THANKS, JIM S.

[@phuketexplorer]

How did you get to sit in the jump seat, with cabins closed and locked to everyone except flight crew? 🤔

[@tomstravels520]

Asking very nicely

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Right! Over many weeks of discussion and planning and gathering necessary permissions. Plus, they know us by now, so that helps.

[@millie8311]

I love watching these videos I am starting next year with my flight training but have never been on a plane before 😂😂I also had a dream about a month ago where I sit in a cockpit of a Jet it was a Boeing me and this Captain and he ask first time and laugh it was wet weather but when we about to departure I could not do it because the speed was so fast I felt the plane and its power and then woke up 😂😂It sounds messed up but do you really feel it like that wow my heartbeat was raising so fast in that dream

[@Aviation-220]

Very nice landing 😊

[@CMBelite-FR]

nice video. Why can't in find the RNAV 05-V for LPMA on navigraph . besides strange that for a NPA, the captain kept the FD on past the minimum and didn't switch to TRK (bird) ?

[@tomstravels520]

Modern Airbus can keep the tracking the FINAL APP down to the missed approach point which for most approaches is the runway threshold. The pilot still needs to have visual by the MDA though.

[@hugochan2821]

So much better than b737. It seems to be more comfortable, things are organized and put in the right place.

[@hussienalsafi1149]

THANK YOU 😍😍😍😍😍🤠🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎😎

[@jjaus]

Anyone know what that autopilot disconnect sound was around 18:07?

[@tomstravels520]

Non pilot commanded mode reversion. Up until then the aircraft would be in FINAL APP mode so the flight directors would be guiding the pilot to follow the path on their navigation display. Once past the threshold it would switch to HDG and Vertical Speed mode uncommanded. It’s just another alert to the pilots something changed they did not do themselves

[@jjaus]

@@tomstravels520 Thanks! Very interesting. Always something to learn.
