Just type “Etihad Vamsys” in Google, we will be happy to have you on board so you can fly exactly the same routes. I would post link, but it is not allowed.

Nope, look at how stable the real airplane is. The MSFS physics aren't this realistic. MSFS is unfortunately just about visuals!

The choice of music was spot on. the triple 7 cockpit is truly one of the most beautiful marvels on earth. I am forever wholesomely in love with the 777. most beautiful aircraft on earth. thank you for the spectacular video, very informative and intuitive (especially from the pilots). thanks for the video

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks so much!

[@tomhaywood8619]

Beautiful aircraft. I was flight crew with Pan Am and Delta for a total of 29yrs. When I started in 1977 I worked on the 747 which was an outstanding air plane. If I were starting a career today with aviation I definitely would want to work on a triple 7, what a beautiful plane. Thanks for sharing this great video!

[@SurajV320]

The B77W is an absolutely gorgeous beast of an airplane! Them GE90-115Bs pack a lot of punch, and she’s one aircraft that I’ll never have any qualms flying. Thank you for this video, mate. Also, cheers to the FR24 crew.

[@airedition]

Thank you!

[@Christian-vq8rd]

I've become sort of nervous about Boeing lately (as many have), but the 777 is an unbelievable plane. A buddy of mine flies one for Emirates.

[@IBo99608]

@@Christian-vq8rd Most suck for him knowing Emirates flies a so much better aircraft.

[@Christian-vq8rd]

@IBo99608 He loves the 777, although yes, the other aircraft for him would probably be an A380 which I still see as the ultimate.

[@jrbuch]

Flew the Etihad 777-300ER from Sydney TO Abu Dhabi - Sat down the very back. Over night - you could hear the auto-throttle giving the engine more power when needed. When I got off the plane, my first thought - the GE90's are HUGE!

[@zylux5868]

PMDG really nailed it

[@manoalex6575]

One of the best real time technical and support info from taxing ..to take off..Cruise mode and descend...landing gears and landing ... Loaded inputs etc..Excellent by Ethihad and it's Pilots.. good presentation...

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks!

[@krisoopower]

FCO is one of my most visited airports so it’s just so wonderful watching this and knowing exactly where this 777 beauty is taxiing and taking off from! Almost as if I’m inside that cockpit myself!😍

[@jasonrigas8697]

As a lifelong fearful flyer and frequent 777 flyer this video has helped me more than any other. THANK YOU

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

That's so great to hear! Thanks for leaving the comment.

[@indigogamestudio]

Started learning the pmdg boeing 777-300ER for my flightsimulator yesterday. Realy cool to see how it is done for real. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@bozinny]

I really enjoy your content. To me, your humility and enthusiasm shine through. Unlike other ‘miles’ focused accounts, where they focus on ‘humble bragging’ about their premium class passenger experiences, I enjoy your attention to why aviators love to fly.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you very much!

[@bluecouchpodcast24]

So true

[@andersdrakkar]

Awesome video! Nice to see a Spanish Captain in this flight!

[@martynbragg2286]

Absolute incredible video, and such great guys on the flight deck giving us so much interesting information. I thank you.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Eyob797]

Nice flight review, the triple seven is a cool airplane, I had the opportunity to get into the cockpit previously. I knew the co-pilot is an Ethiopian when I saw him. He flew for Ethiopian Airlines, Air Peace and now Etihad.

[@YohannesTesfaye-mc7tp]

Yegramal betam... I knoq dagm he is a very humble guy

[@daviddenham1511]

I worked at Etihad for 9 years and flew on this very plane many times (Tango Papa)……my favourite was our oldest trip7 Tango Alpha……when I left in 2017 our fleet was Alpha through to Sierra

What a fabulous job. Many Congratulations to you. Such a great idea to include The Bard's beautiful music. ❤

[@kavehkazemi1004]

What a vibe with the music you chose! absolutely loved it!!

[@Carlo-f1e]

So nice, ATC adds realism and highlights both difficulty and pilots professionalism, please keep on posting 👍🏻

[@paulprosser8308]

Gabriel, I don't really like to fly - particularly takeoffs and rough weather - but I really enjoy the glimpse into the cockpits, and the calm professionalism of the pilots as seen through your camera lens. It helps with my confidence and my nerves when I board a plane. My son-in-law is a captain for SWA...he and I often discuss matters relating to SWA and aviation in general. I appreciate the dedication displayed by the pilots, crew members and ground and operations personnel. Gotta be in their DNA! KUTGW!

[@airedition]

That's great to hear! Thanks a lot.

[@kwluth]

What a cool video! I love the triple; super nice to get a feel for what it's like to be up on the flight deck of one of these amazing machines!

[@jamessmitka8066]

I just had a 777 flight in April with a US carrier. Listen, if Flightradar24 needs positive feed back for videos like this it is easy to hit the thumbs up! A few thinks, it still amazes me that not only are you allowed on the flight deck but you get an in-depth conversation with the crew and of course Gabriel does a great job at that. Plus isn’t it incredible on how much pilots, of such a technically advanced aircraft, rely on iPads of some sort. Thanks - Jim

[@richardhingston6073]

The iPads are by far the most modern thing on that flight deck. They've always had a system of some sort, be it paper of a fixed screen. The iPads offer the portable element.

[@ritikrana7973]

A350 have laptops instead of iPad

[@frizziator5121]

iPads have replaced tons of paper that now does not have to be carried on board.

[@777Kills]

The Boeing 777 is my favourite aircraft and like you mentioned it has the authentic Boeing executed PERFECTEDLY and not too cluttered like the old 737, boxy like the 747. tbh im not that much of an airbus fan but I feel the manual simplicity of the beasty 777 make it better than any airplane no matter how advanced❤

[@beefjezos2713]

“Old school Boeing feel” What??? Can someone remind me what year we’re living in?

[@Blazingspitfire]

To be fair, this brown interior styling first showed up with the 757/767, in the 80s. It's been over 40 years.

[@cobra1010]

A great video, thank you very much!

[@pierrem4560]

very nice video ! it's a very good surprise ! More thanks

[@Izmael1310]

Why captain at 18:07 manually input the speed to 0.82m? I guess the common cruising speed in 777 is 0.84 - 0.86. Was that because of the turbulence making speed go crazy (up/down)? He pressed it when the camera start shaking (I guess turbulence). 22:22 flt control page display showing rudder trim 0.2R - is is set by AP automatically or crew set it because they have right tailwind?

[@yannickh3433]

0.82 is turbulence penetration speed for the 777. FMS cruise speed depends on different factors set by the crew. Normally the rudder trim should be 0, it may be very slightly off as the manual trim indicator is just an analog gauge and isn't that precise, but that's acceptable. The autopilot normally only trims the rudder to compensate for thrust asymmetry for example during an engine failure.

[@seanlxgue]

I flew this route on the 787-10 on Dec 2nd, 2023

[@davidcole333]

I love the 777, this was most enjoyable.

[@MidnightPodcast]

I have NO IDEA what that A REE ABE is saying in the radio, talk about a serious danger to everyone on board. The lady was clear as crystal.

[@071949]

Hi Gabe, I had a good time riding w/ you and the pilots in the cockpit. Cool that Etihad permitted it. About "old school", one of the things I like about my 2017 Camry LE (lowest trim level) is the oversized knobs and buttons for climate control/radio/CD player, and that it does NOT have a complicated infotainment menu and stuff like Apple carplay, stuff that I think distracts the driver from the business of *driving*.
