Am I the only one who loves the sound of the 747s engines spooling up for takeoff? Flying for a regional in a ERJ, hope to see the cockpit of a 747 flying freight.

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

Did ya see it?

[@carolfreitag6847]

i do too!!!!

[@Alinecms]

Love It Very Very Very much

[@mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat]

I adore the sound and has given me a joy of adrenaline since I flew when I was young!

[@torontoross]

I sure do

[@indiraiyer4097]

Love watching these experienced Pilots controlling the huge airplanes with so much of Expertise and Skill❤️

[@trentranford]

Pilots are amazing. Take my hat off to these men and women pilots.

[@kenw.1112]

When he goes full throttle that is the coolest sound I have ever heard! Jet engines are sweet!

[@juliocajueironeto2515]

Blessed are the aviators who have or had the privilege of flying this wonderful and incomparable machine, the Boeing 747!!!

[@fayecox9401]

I take my hat of to all pilots it’s hard skill job ,knowing they have peoples lives in there hands god bless you all stay safe

[@gerardreinking8170]

Counts also for the busdriver

[@peterng3607]

it goes without saying

[@modulliYdhken]

I like the engine sound especially during take-off

[@davidhancock91]

I was in business for most of my working life, and while it gave me a good income and lifestyle, and I am grateful for that, I would love to have been able to do a job you love. Like these guys.

[@timkellyD2R]

I am constantly amazed how the Dutch speak English with barely an accent.

[@merightin]

Not always...but they are good at mimmicking..which is what I do when I speak Dutch

[@fairingfans3575]

Just a few days ago, I went to the road beside 07R and spotted some 744 while they takeoff. I'm amazed by the sound of those roaring engines!!!

[@Dan-nt2yb]

Remember to tell the flight crew how much they’re appreciated when you see them walking through the airport.😊👍🏾👍🏾

[@markfox1545]

They just do a job and they're very well paid, stop the silly hero worship.

[@monex5]

I'll always be in awe of pilots..They make it look so easy..

[@bluescouser0308]

In reality it is...

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

It really isn't. You have too many things to watch out for

[@peanutpistachio6532]

Because it is, the computer is doing most of the work

[@kfamily381]

when those engines power up that's usually when my heart starts racing

[@SimpleAdventuresLLMSX]

I should've done something better with my life and became a commercial airliner pilot :(

[@Gokii-rl4bl]

JUST DO IT!!

[@angelog4150]

As long as your younger than 65 you still got time :)

[@projectbighead1278]

[@Un4ble]

Me too, but my ears...my ears...

[@samueladewole4060]

I'd say you won't do it

[@candicef4709]

so calm and collected.

[@ferrariscuderia4290]

I hope PMDG 747 V2 will be out soon, because seeing the real cockpit and the primitive, graphic rendition in the current PMDG 747X makes it so unenjoyable.

[@haboab0216]

Most critical for plane is during takeoff when both engines at their full thrust reaching first 20000 feet altitude

[@victorschepers6286]

haboab0216 4 engines in this case

[@davidstrawther1858]

Very awesome, neat, and educational video !!, not until I stumbled upon your channel and videos did I realize what actually happens during the takeoff and landing process onboard a jetliner

[@urszulajaskierska3111]

Ale piękne ,zazdroszczę zawodu 👍👍👍👍😊

I thought my old car rattled on the road, but damn!

[@schwarszendeust]

[@P3DJumboJet]

Listen this engines !

[@P3DJumboJet]

I don't no for this T/O if he have full power or a an sel OAT.

[@jakejones5736]

Full power and that beast was giving the engines a run for their money..

Gonna be doing this pretty SOON, start class Feb 2nd :-))).

[@endiath9419]

Nice, what plane?

[@topautos]

Brilliant videos

[@frankhall7005]

Does taking off in fog rattle the nerves a bit? In my flight sim I get get kinda nervous when I can't see out of the plane. I guess you just gotta trust all the instruments. I think that's the hardest part. Flying blind.

[@stnicholas54]

Very considerate of the airport construction people to put that zebra crossing on the runway. Mind you, it must be annoying for the pilot when a woman with a pram crosses over in front of them. Or schoolkids with their teachers. They're the worst. They take all day to cross !

[@peterng3607]

stnicholas,irrelevant words for this movie

[@MalindaRajapakse]

Great view turning into the runway for takeoff!

Great video. Should cause KLM to go on a 747-8 shopping spree.

[@frankgrippi2330]

Gear UP Auto Pilot ON Time to check out the circuit beaker panel.

[@kenw.1112]

747 Uses 1-gallon Of Jet Fuel A second. It takes around 36,000 gallons to fill a 747. The cost to fill a 747 is roughly $180,000 dollars. 747's have a range of around 7,000 miles. See where the cost of flying is justified. Add up maintenance, fuel, etc adds up real fast.

[@Un4ble]

Was that a 100% take-off? I'm not sure since somebody told my that the numbers on the display has nothing to do with the percent in thrust.

[@louisbarley1433]

I would love to do this job in my life and have qualifications for this hard job, It takes years of practice and lots of simulator training aswell, they probably train around 10hours

[@Igorms01]

I have what it takes but cant find a job..

[@xcop985]

With all that rattling and shaking in the cockpit is the airport runway that bumpy?

[@100american2]

HOLD ON, WAIT!!! Is there another instrument the pilots use to turn left or right when they are on the runway, because in the video I DIDN’T see them using neither one the steering wheels when the plane was turning onto the main runway before takeoff???

[@victorschepers6286]

Left hand on the wheel

[@johnwayne2775]

Rudder pedals

[@AvocatDude]

You can almost feel the weight of all of the heavy fuel and laden weight when it starts initial roll down the runway. The actual speed when they rotate doesn’t seem to ever be enough to me to get airborne.

[@yaelbj]

I always thought these people got balls! They just there doing them like it's nothing !

[@bluesaxon1]

185 knots of speed, flaps 20 and climbing rate 2.100 to 7000 feet as first target!

[@t.8584]

100% n1, Just sounds like music to my ears

[@paulmitchell9550]

Great job !

[@leisulin]

The plane is so damn big when they get to V1 it looks like they're doing maybe 65 mph...........

[@TheGeekazoid]

flaps at 20 but they kept them there right till the end of the video plus slow climb rate??? heavy load?? cargo??

[@yolsclassics6347]

lots of load, lots of heat.

[@frankgrippi2330]

If you can fly a Cessna you can fly these magnificent flying machines except for Deleted. She takeoff out of the Bahamas and heads east to go to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida KFLL. The navigation computer picked up a KFLL in Africa and she heads for it. I waited a couple of minutes hoping she would catch her mistake since the computer was picking up KFLL but not the right one. The distance to destination should have been a red flag as well as the heading EAST. I finally told her " Ft Lauderdale is that way-pointing to the tail "

[@thamriniskandar5696]

Wow ....👍

[@Robochop-vz3qm]

Smooth

[@tenirpaslager]

is it safe having someone filming in the flightdeck, its not a distraction?

[@andycyyeung1]

yes it is safe pilots during takeoff and landing will listen thru their headsets and providing the person filming is not talking, it shouldn't be a distraction.

[@cheeseman7453]

The copilot has. Two hands on the control.column

[@frankgrippi2330]

Full throttle is done on the first flight of the month on a 777. Only done once a month. The passengers must be notified because of the extreme acceleration and noise.

[@TVShortShort]

It's awesome!

[@corentinchaillet7738]

747 is the most beautiful plane

[@larrykeene4733]

Wow! I think they need to fill some of those potholes!! That sounded like one rough A** runway.

[@briandressel1344]

I’ve read that it’s the tire running over the center runway lights.

[@ryanspillane6162]

@@briandressel1344 it is :) the nose wheel

[@thecornedbeefcouncil9792]

If I was a pilot being filmed like this I’d find it almost impossible not to show off by doing a take off ‘no handed’.

[@ozbolli]

Those guys were loaded

[@oodykaywan9011]

At 3:56, Captain push at the altitude selector knob for several time. Why he did that?

[@dietzold]

Oody Kaywan to cancel altitude restrictions on the SID...” climb unrestricted “....

[@mjmqubesi]

At 3:55 why pushing the Alt. button 3 times? Is it for deleting constraints?

[@bonan960623]

A small stearing wheel on the captain's left.

[@abdalmusavir]

Björn Lillpers needa figure it out.. thnx though..

[@abdalmusavir]

MrMillar27 thnx bro 😊

[@samuelsann8219]

Man this thing was so heavy, 1.2 rate of climb at 190 knots with flats 20 lol Even for a 747-400 this is very low climbing profile. Must be very loaded and full of fuel for a very long trip.

[@shrimpflea]

+Samuel Sann Well, it is a cargo plane.

[@yolsclassics6347]

not to mention it was hot out.

[@endiath9419]

Amsterdam to Hong Kong is like a 11 hour flight

[@samuelsann8219]

This concern me a bit after see what happened in National Air Cargo in Afghanistan. In this profile there is not much room for pilots to recover the airplane, after some cargo shifts inside happens. I do know KLM has pretty hard checking and precautions to this never happen, but is interesting for me to think what you gonna do if happens. So it aways concern me in my SIM flights on heavy loaded 747 take off.

[@joemed02]

wow that sound in the cockpit when the plane took off was like there was an earthquake

[@raddybeer2067]

Great video. Nice sharp close-ups, good sound. Must be dutch!

[@grahammaguire404]

Anyone fancy a ice cold beer!!!

[@sebastiannamieta5162]

While he was climbing his airspeed was going down, to steep , asking for troubles , but under control :-).....

[@FSXreality]

Incorrect, the PF (pilot flying) was doing a very, very good job at maintaining bug speed (the purple marker). There was also an obvious wine component. A real 747 is not like Flight Simulator - the moves a lot in real life but is incredibly minor - don't forget, this is indicated airspeed, not ground speed; that is increasing all the time (once past acceleration altitude of around 1200ft or so). His pitch up was required to bring the speed back a touch to maintain bug speed... that is all!

[@andycyyeung1]

FSXreality agree with you....the typical acceleration altitude is about 1500 ft in Hong Kong and the small fluctuations in speed is because of the small changes in headwind due to the special high terrain near the airport which causes some changes in wind speeds. the pitch up and speed is as planned in the FD which is shown as the purple cross

[@FSXreality]

Thank you for some added common sense, sir.

[@billsalton8660]

V2 (climbout) speed set to 182kts. He was a bit above so he can alter his AoA to match it the best he can

[@heartwilson.8943]

I bet he can’t drive a Citroen 2cv though...like I can .

[@InsaneMetalSoldier]

Wow, 25 flap takeoff? or was it 20?

[@bonan960623]

Flaps 20 for takeoff, rather normal for the 747.

[@Sh8rk1]

That's normal, 20

[@alexkremer6243]

Excellent job. Seems easy to do. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️🧑‍✈️✅✅✅

[@pauld2305]

I've only ever ridden in the passenger portion of an airliner, so I hope this doesn't sound too silly... but am I correct when I say that the captain/pilot is sitting in the left-hand seat and the co-pilot is in the right? And if so, why did the co-pilot handle the take-off? Is that just up to the pilot's discretion? Thanks!

[@Tank50us]

the First Officer is usually a trainee for the aircraft. He's usually already completed his simulator time, and is now needing to complete is live time in the plane to get the captains seat. To facilitate this, pilots and FOs often alternate the duty. The pilot is usually senior to the FO anyway, and usually has thousands more flight hours under his belt. And with 3 simple words, the pilot can re-take control of the plane... "I have control"

[@pauld2305]

Jonathon Davonger Thanks very much for your reply!

[@CaptainArt777]

It does not matter how much or how little time the co-pilot has they alternated each leg. It keeps both of them in the loop. It also gives the co pilot time in type and gets him ready to take over as captain when a slot opens up.

there are too many controls in a plane, one wrong flip of the switch & its all she wrote!

[@DEO777]

Why all that rattling on take-off? Does the runway need to be repaved or is the plane an old piece of junk?

[@danielson1989]

No planes a piece of junk

[@TracyExplores]

Duh Enlightened One was thinking that myself

[@nicgeld]

It is probably because of the nose wheel going over the runway centre line lights.

[@bseaward1145]

AWESOME MATE

[@paulhoward4161]

In this video, is the pilot flying solely by the artificial horizon (if that is what it's called)? Can the rate of climb be adjusted on screen, that is, can those marks that he is flying to, be moved up or down the screen?

[@andycyyeung1]

The pilots fly with the Primary Flight Displays in front of them which does include a AHI(Artificial Horizon Indicator). the two lines after takeoff both vertically and horizontally is the FD(flight director) path which is preset and determined by the weight, thrust and acceleration altitude etc. the rate of climb can be adjusted manually using whats known as the V/S mode which climbs/ descends the aircraft to the rate which the pilot inputs.

[@paulhoward4161]

Andy YCY Thank you for your reply.

[@sullysuhaimi]

I'm a 14 year old aerospace fanatic... I think it's something like IFR, yes?

[@andycyyeung1]

XxPhreedomxX both the pilots and the aircraft are IFR rated and due to the amount of aircraft in the air at busy airports, VFR rules are rarely used as VFR is not as precise and is more difficult to follow SIDs and STARs

[@andycyyeung1]

yh I kinda said it reli ambiguously but SIDs and STARs are designed for IFRs only anyway

[@26ghifar]

Autopilot not turn on???
