In the Cockpit of the lovely BOEING 737-200 (Canadian North)

JustPlanes flightdeck filming of the Canadian North Boeing 737-200. For the fill film www.worldairroutes.com/canadia...
Ten years ago we first visited Canadian North and we're delighted to be visiting this great airline again mostly because it allows us to feature a full program now in HD on this fantastic aircraft which is becoming harder to find as time goes by. The program covers half a dozen great destinations out of the airline's Edmonton hub with some great approaches and very nice scenery. Most importantly we have 2 sets of pilots who go above and beyond to present every aspect of the 737-200 in complete details to you and take you step by step through each flight as they explain what they're doing and how each flight progresses.
+ Cockpit filming using 6 cameras for great views on takeoff & landing!
+ Program shows several wing views on takeoff/landing including trust reverser operation
+ Company Presentation
+ Pilot Presentations
+ Briefings & Checklists
+ Cockpit set-up
+ Cockpit Presentations
+ External Walkaround
+ Fantastic scenery

It is fantastic to see the 737-200 still is use regularly. Very glad that Canadian North operates its classic 737 fleet. Excellent video.

[@grahamrothphotography]

I see at least 10 of these aircraft a day at YEG. The cargo airline Cargo Jet, use to fly a 727-200 in the early morning, I nicknamed it "The Rocket" because it sounds like a rocket taking off, now they use a 757 in the morning.

[@canadianplanespotter]

Hey Airforceproud! Love your FSX trolling videos :)

I work over at YXE and we got that 727-200 Cargo jet here it shakes the windows in the office! Ive also fueled the Canadian North Aircraft before as well both the 200 and 300! :)

[@speedbird1598]

Well, at least you get the other rocket

[@christopherescott6787]

My Dad flew this type for 3 airlines in the North. Transair, PWA and Canadian. He was both 1st officer and Captain. A VERY robust,versatile aircraft.

[@Kiwssie43]

I have wonderful memories of my first ever flight in an aircraft, and subsequent flights on the 737-200. That was in 1984. Auckland to Christchurch unaccompanied with Air New Zealand. I've been in love with Boeing aircraft from that day onwards.

[@joeycarr1398]

I was happy to see a 737-200 which happened to be a Canadian North cargo relief flight today at SJU. This is probably my favorite jet.

[@97I30T]

I love seeing the 737-200 still being flown. I was lucky enough to fly on a couple 737-200s back in 2005 that Aloha airlines flew for inter-island flights in Hawaii before their bankruptcy. Plus it's pretty cool that they were the last airline in the United States to fly the 200 in scheduled passenger service. They're definitely a very sturdy aircraft and you can't beat the sound of the jt8's on them so this video was definitely a treat!

[@andytaylor1588]

I used to fly on the 200s back when the seating room was spacious. I loved that type.

[@robertanderson1907]

I love Canadian North's livery - I think it's the best in the business. Unique, colourful, powerful. It was penned by Dawn Oman of Yellowknife. I built a 1:144 Airfix 737-200 kit with JBOT Canadian North decals. It holds pride of place on my desk.

[@davidstaples8865]

Robert Anderson oh wow, I didn't know the livery was by Dawn Oman. I have to stop by their studio sometime. Also, I'm building that kit, too, but the decals are from V1 Decals. Probably not as good as JBOT's but his site is never up...

[@matthiashaenni]

OMG... I love the B737-200! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

[@andytaylor1588]

I love it. My Uncle Stan used to fly the 737-275 for Pacific Western. He was the Captain on flight 501 when they had an uncontained rupture of an engine while on takeoff roll in Calgary in Mar. 1984. Aborted and all survived. There were burn injuries, both major and minor. Very close call. Plane burned to ground.

[@robertbalboni3797]

love the classic 737-200 a really great workhorse of a jet that's more than proved itself over the many years its been flying.hope they are around for many more years! rob

[@WysteriaGuitar]

This is one of my most favorite liveries. Great vid too - long live the 737-200.

[@dphotos007]

I can tell the pilots love working for this airline. They like the hands on approach to flying into some beautiful spots on our planet.

[@hena330]

Wow, what a beauty, so good to see them in use today... the old steam gauges are just fantastic coupled with the old sperry autopilot! and the jt8 engines are music to my ears.

[@andytaylor1588]

The jt-8 are great until they explode.

Until 5.58 that is just another cockpit video, altough already quite interesting but that is personal opinion. Now at 5.58 with the music setting in and the fabulous taxi over the camera pass this becomes truly a marvellous and emotional video, simply from beauty and motion together. Nicely done JP. Congrat !!

[@davidstaples8865]

I fly this airline regularly, and when I was sitting next to a guy he said to the flight attendant "I've been all over the world and this is the only airline that still feeds you." They still do, and they're hot meals and included in your ticket. They fly from Edmonton to Inuvik and back again every day, with stops in Yellowknife and Norman Wells. I usually catch the morning or evening flights from YZF to YEG (or back), and that's when they give you breakfast or dinner. Oh, and the plane that flies that route is the -300. Needless to say I love this airline :D

[@matthewq4b]

Yukon Air also serves full hot meals on their flights included in the ticket price.

Nikola Levnaich The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit ALL IN ONE. Many Examiner Pilots that walk the tarmac and cross the skies today, started as little potatoes in the B737-200. Many also lost their lives in it, demanding as it is. You needed to be smart and fit to fly it, You needed to be an Aviator not just a pilot. What we have today is Cockpit clerks - push some buttons then fill a few forms.

[@Republic3D]

Nikola Levnaich 737-200 Jurassic. :)

[@ErickC]

David Halligan It depends entirely on the autopilot. The SP-177 in the later Advanced series aircraft was very similar to the SP-300 in the -3/4/5 and was tied into an FMC, in fact, since the introduction of the SP-177, the 737 MCP hasn't changed much at all. This particular aircraft has the SP-77 originally fitted to the 737 family.

[@bernard240vdc]

I have flown with this Airline in 2007 departing Calgary stopping in Edmonton and then on to the Horizon Tar Sands Site that had their own runway long enough to safely allow 737 aircraft to operate there,,,, when I worked there there was around 10 or more jetliner flights in and out everyday just to accommodate people going back home for their days off and back to work ,,,, flights whent to nearly everywhere in Canada even as far as Newfoundland,,, there where 8.000 people working there when I was there and the workforce peaked at 14,000 after I was there

[@andytaylor1588]

OILsand, not TARsands. (tarsands is a mentally ill leftist term)

[@michelgardes]

I love the sound of the JT8D. My opinion is that when it comes to civilian aircraft only the Olympus 593 sounded better. Those were good times!

[@gabaquino]

Nice!

[@palonazo]

I fell in love with aviation BECAUSE of this airplane. 18 years later, as a real pilot, I could never dream of flying an airplane like this one, the last "real" airplane to my eyes.

[@tomjhpage]

it's sad, but flying is a lot more efficient and also safe because of technological advances like in the a320s and NGXs

[@palonazo]

***** You mean NG.

[@newagincourt99]

The flap on the nose gear is a stone guard for the gravel runways introduced by the old Pacific Western which has supplied some of the early 737-200 planes Canadian North took over.

[@Cta2006]

Busy Bee Airlines of Norway had also gravel kit on their one 737-200 back in 1980/81 and onwards ... Really cool :-)

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Don't they have similar gravel protectors on or near the under wing landing gear too? In Anchorage, I watched a number of Alaska Airlines 737-200 combos maybe even a 737-100 or two landing with what I assumed to be gravel kits. The classic aircraft you can see at Edmonton or Anchorage is like a trip back to the 50s, with DC 6/7s, Convair's, Electras etc everywhere. If you haven't visited Edmonton you haven't been in Canada, it's an incredible city.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

At what point would you run up your engines while holding the aircraft stationary with the brakes, instead of just doing a standard takeoff? Given the loads the captain was making reference to, I couldn't help wondering if there weren't times when you might be required to utilize the alternative method on shorter runways, and how you decide to do so. I recall flying on the old Frontier in a fully loaded 737-200 from SLC to DEN, not being able to land at DEN or COS because of a blizzard to then fly to the next alternative, which was one of the small cities on the west slope, not Grand Junction FWIW. When we were finally able to proceed to DEN the pilot in command, rev'ed the engines up until the aircraft felt like it was going to shake apart before releasing the brakes, and Baby did we take off like a bat out of hell. It was a blast. I would guess that we were likely at 7000 feet or higher in airport altitude, using a rather short runway that was mainly used by Dash-8s, but it worked very well.

[@TheRampAgent]

I work this aircraft everyday out of YOW

[@amstevenson]

I'll admit to not having heard of Canadian North before. Quite a unique airline! QQ - What is the purpose of the apparatus on the nose gear? It looks like it functions as the gear door.

[@Airforceproud95]

I believe thats the gravel kit so gravel doesn't get deflected into the engines when the nosewheel touches down.

[@andrewolson248]

amstevenson FOI prevention for the turbine engines. They land on runways with alot of particulate that could be ingested into the nacelles resulting in lots of engine damage.

[@glennsmith3473]

The purpose of that apparatus is to deflect stones when they land on gravel runways. It is part of a special kit designed for the 737-200 to land on gravel. There is also a tube near the engines that helps deflect any gravel into the engines.

[@BAredcap]

It's part of the GravelKit. You can read about it here: www.b737.org.uk/unpavedstripkit.htm

[@grahamrothphotography]

Canadian Norths aircraft is made to handle gravel runways, as for unique airline, so true. They also do charters to the oil sands, flying in and out workers to Edmonton.
