A350 longhaul behind the scenes (in the cockpit with SAS!)

We’re back on the A350 flight deck for the 11 hour run from Copenhagen to Bangkok, this time with SAS (Scandinavian Airlines). And we’re going to see firsthand what the growing problem with GPS jamming and spoofing looks like for pilots, not only near Russia and Ukraine but also in the Middle East; as we start feeling the effects over Poland and don’t regain normal satellite connections until we reach the Persian Gulf. Apart from that we’ve got a video full of amazing A350 cockpit technology, beautiful views from these massive windows, and much more.

It's so reassuring to see these pilots in action and how aware and professional they are of their surroundings at all times!

[@tyta1]

True - but the level of professionalism and skills doesn't seem to be the same everywhere. We can only hope that pilots in other parts of the world - who tend to rely more on automated systems and be less confident with identifying anomalies in these systems and flying / navigating manually if needed - will be able to cope with any complex situation they encounter.

[@Detvanliga]

It is just because they are being filmed. Normally they just sleep through it. .

[@user-ex5sw5jd6c]

They are very experienced, professional and alert, and very seasoned Pilots, and must say, I admire them.

[@parimal7528]

Also important to note is aircraft is Airbus, not Boeing!!

[@RAVIOLIdS]

@@Detvanliga not true, at least in my family and most pilots I fly with don't sleep through any procedure. Were being watched by the company too and most companies follow with this.

same here bro

[@TimLinden]

I must say it’s been much more dangerous than last Middle East Palestinian conflicts in 2012-2013. Even it appears ADSB coverage just started then, it was more assuring and safe to take the trans continental flight. SAS should fly more on arctic Japan routes

[@AviationVlogger]

Like others said, 40 minutes of pure entertainment, education, and beautiful views. I had no idea there was such a big issue with the jamming and spoofing across Russia/Ukraine. You could see the pilots were very situationally aware during that time. Huge respect to them! Fantastic video!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Nice!!

How you use wifi

[@lapo78]

That landing was smooth and precisely on the centerline hence the bumping from the centerline lights. The pilot flying even counted down accurately from 4-3-2-1-touchdown (in Danish)! So proud of SAS, I used to work for them for 5 years

[@peterwoods3623]

Possibly your best video yet. What helpful and interesting pilots explaining all their difficulties and even housekeeping in words that even I could understand. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep it up and thanks.

[@mildcorma]

@@beauhathaway6627 Email some airlines and ask. Some have policies that mean you won't be able to, and on those that do it is always subject to change until you're actually in the seat on the aircraft as they need to get pilots / other crew home or positioned to the destination for the company etc. These seats always have the lowest priority as well which is why it's rare for this kind of video to be possible. If you email enough people it will happen though!

[@EasyjetVirtualCaptain]

The best 40 minutes I have ever spend in my life watching these amazing pilots, thank you.

[@Babyboffa2018]

I bet your wife had a fantastic honeymoon 😂

[@jeremypearson6852]

I never realized commercial pilots had to deal with so much flying over certain countries. It makes me wonder how domestic flights are within Russia if so many systems aren’t functioning. Kudos to all the crew for dealing so well with everything.

[@NerdX151]

I know it would be a huge privacy and security issue, but sometimes I wish we as passengers had the option to view the pilots in the IFE system. It would help a lot of nervous flyers if they could switch on a camera and see what the pilots were doing during take-off, landing and turbulence. Seeing these guys laughing and chatting during moderate turbulence would have calmed a lot of nerves on that flight.

[@Fuxser]

SAS pilots are some of the most professional in the world. Landing in the arctic cicle aswell as the most busy airports in the world

[@atuhaisederrick]

Great vlog, lovely Captain i hope more airlines could get on board as well for such vlogs otherwise great work Gabriel and the whole Flightradar24 team 👍

Very cool cockpit crew.The Captain is a very nice and friendly person.

[@christerry1773]

The SAS livery on the 350 is one of my favs. While the computer elements of modern aircraft are safe and much more efficient, there’s now two sides of pilot skill and knowledge. One how the aircraft flies, and second how to operate all of the computers. But all they’ve really done is replaced paper EFB’s.

[@patrickburns4607]

God, that flight deck is a masterpiece. What an airplane! Thanks so much for making this video.

@@anitastanley8986 Haha. I live in Thailand. I'm very used to hard chairs and beds

[@captaincarl1603]

As an Air Force officer (Swedish) I can give a little information about the jamming. The reason the jamming is random and without clear boundaries is because jamming is an inexact business. When jamming you aim your resources toward the general area that you want to affect. With different methods you can then approximate the effect of your jamming operation but you will never know the precise reach, boundaries, and outcome. That's why these pilots experience that the jamming is somewhat random, because it is.

[@syahirulfadhli4255]

Thanks for the info, captain

[@theswede5402]

Isnt that extremely dangerous? Cant believe planes are even allwoed to fly near Ukraine.

Really enjoyed your video as a totally confirmed aircraft nerd after only flying for the past 35 years and looking for more! Keep it up, loving everything you are producing from a nerd's perspective ( preferably from a jump seat!) It is so assuring that the crew can advise the cockpit that turbulence is affecting the cabin... lovely to know when the service is halted. Imagine that in a Fokker Triplane?! It is flight crew like this who make me convinced to sleep on long haul flight.
