KLM Boeing B747-400 Landing at LAX Los Angeles Cockpit view

A landing on runway 25L at LAX international Airport. Good visibility for a change!

[@pwnerpinistic]

Thanks very much for posting this vid. As a guy who found out at 18 years of age he was color blind and had his dream of being a pilot crushed, I can at least live some of my dreams through these awesome KZbin posts. Thanks so much!

[@michaelsparks8632]

Phil, there are some really great Pilot Simulation Programs you can adapt to your computer and you would get a great deal of satisfaction from them, so I'm told. Don't give up the dream man.

[@pcg2806]

I have an infinite amount of respect for air traffic controllers (and pilots of course!) after this. It must be one of the most difficult jobs in the world monitoring such busy airspace. Thanks for all these videos SuredT! I could watch them all day.

[@SpartanW98]

I went there while i was in LA! this is probably the best plane spotting airport, its so busy and there are so many great spots where you can see the planes land and take off.

[@chocolatcats]

That girl working that ATC is amazingly intelligent......wish I had that job. I' m proud of her. i also like the men who do that job...sometimes bad things happen and they are all ready for it. Yes I know their supervisor is near but...THEY KNOW THEIR JOBS...EVERYONE would like to thank all traffic controllers and pilots for all they do....amazing people she can be proud of her achievements as well as those men

[@georgelefeber5809]

That girl knows her stuff. Nobody is going to give her any grief. If they do they will get it from someone who sits behind a bigger desk

[@andreaforcella1094]

Agree,she's good,and she has quite a stressful job too.

[@FredHerrman]

OMG was that great! I loved hearing the pilots talking AND the control tower talking to other flights. Thank you!

[@McIntosh1581]

Cool video. It's neat getting to see a cockpit-view landing. We can definitely tell this is L.A. with it's enormous size and thick haze.

[@narnarlovesu]

The best moment in flying in an airplane is when it takes off and lands. Truly magical.

[@smoovay]

Watching this vid and reading all the helpful and informative comments posted makes me wish every industry had such enthusiam and professionalism. We would have a much better world to live in. Great post!!

[@paulhaye]

That ATC lady is boss!

[@wolfmanjack3451]

Your right the ATC ladie has a sexy authority to her voice,someone send me her Email address!

[@chocolatcats]

I wish I had her intelligence.....she's too cool

[@bkboeing]

Beautiful laninding! Thanks for sharing, always love when a new video comes out from you!

[@crocodile1313]

From those of us who fly around this great country and world for our jobs every week, I just want to say THANK YOU to all the pilots, attendants, ground people, TSA and the outstanding, ATC crews (people with nerves of steel!). You all do jobs that allow all of us to keep the world working....You all are the greatest! Thank you many times over!! Oh, and, outstanding video as well. :-) : > }

[@AlvaroMolano]

Thank you so much SuredT. For all of us who love aviation this videos are quite an experience. Please keep posting.

[@CSRLaunchpad]

Hearing those comms with the ATC reminds me of when I used to watch this video all the time in 2015. I love it still, cannot wait to go to LA one day.

[@lineygoblue]

Excellent video! And thank you so much for adding in the radio traffic. And mounting the camera up front just makes it that much better. I wish there a bunch of videos like this on You Tube because I really enjoy them. Thank you so much for posting it.

[@williamburke8242]

My dad and I have the same color circle like yours!

[@loboboy5113]

It always a pleasure watching your videos. Excellent job! Thank you for sharing! Thumbs up!

[@NoFL88]

Very smooth landing! Great vid!

[@wolfmanjack3451]

I've seen this approach many times but never from the cockpit view,How cool was that!!

[@thomasriebe9242]

Great stuff, I always enjoy to see your videos. Hope you continue publishing such great entertainment.

[@volvodadfast]

Thank you for posting this and the other videos. I take a KLM 744 between LAX and AMS at least once a year so appreciate seeing and hearing what happens just a few feet in front of me during the flight. I really appreciate the annotations as it is sometimes difficult to understand what is being said. These videos makes me feel good about choosing to fly KLM.

[@mytubetv23]

Good to see an LAX approach. Thank you. Welcome to LA.

[@julianofpaignton6202]

This was good. I like this video. It was neat see the approach to LAX this way

[@MartyRoca]

Jeez, its a whole different language they're speaking. The amount of numbers that are made into sentences is wildly amazing.

[@Einhander49]

SuredT, you're awesome. You actually take the time to answer the questions from these people. Thanks for your time.

[@Lannister1717]

The best ATC ever !! Dammmn

[@CockpitVideos]

watch it in HD.. it´s absolutely beautiful ..watch that cars on highway :) beautiful man..

[@nataliew7412]

That was amazing footage. Always love a great landing video.

[@Jerricette]

Wat een mooie filmpje! Ik heb ook ooit eens met de KLM B747-400 naar Los Angeles gevlogen. Ik vond het wel een lange vlucht. Maar ik was ook weer blij om uit Los-Angeles te gaan. Chappeau voor de kwaliteit van dit filmpje.

[@rocketcab]

.... please post more of these, complete with radio traffic.... Thank you !!!

[@NUKE-W.E.F.]

Awesome visibilty! Thanks! I agree, ATC lady is in the zone.

[@crazynaska]

That was great! and that woman talking is the BOSS!

[@dkt3wings]

Sweet, this was sort of a response to my recent question! Nice landing and awesome quality

[@TheAutumnEffect9]

Love the ATC with this!

[@frankyjayhay]

Beautiful big HD unobstructed view and a nice long time to relax with it right to the end. Much better than quick 30 sec highlights.

[@Heknows37]

Cool. Nice visual

[@Slaterator]

Simply awesome ! Great view ! Thank´s so much !

[@andreaforcella1094]

Wow, I used to take this flight twice a year for 10 years. Amazing memories.

[@Sfinxweb]

Thanks again for another great video! Please make one every trip ;) Bedankt, ga zo door.

[@hiway51biker]

Awesome video with spectacular LA views. Really enjoy the cockpit videos. Thank You!

[@tomax7]

Thank you for sharing this! I dream about flying a plane, let alone a 747. Enjoy listening to the traffic, that's a lot to listen to while landing!

[@zeronemcs2]

Thanks for sharing man!, I always download your vids in HD.

[@emanuelmota7217]

Beautiful, smooth landing, Excellent video.

[@diverhose]

Truly awesome! I caught myself at the end of the video wild-eyed and starring into space...I just landed a 747!!!! thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays from New Jersey USA!

[@justinhun9430]

Incredible view, I wish I could see it in real life.

[@FF35Pilot]

Wicked!! Like it even better with all the ATC chatter in the background!

[@SuredT]

@guidodeukuzeta1234. In a 747 you start the flare at about 40 ft (the book says 30 ft but in my experience that's a bit too low) by increasing your pitch attitude with only 2 degrees, then close the thrustlevers to idle while keeping the pitch attitude the same. A smooth landing should follow.

[@goobi11]

This is the most incredible video on the whole of youtube

[@danielonn2002]

Did you know that you can see Union Station(Alameda Street), Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills Century City on your right and on your left La Brea Tarpits, Rancho Palos Verdes/Long Beach/Catalina Island. Just before touchdown you can see the 405 freeway Hilton Hotel.

[@stewartbloomfield8035]

thank you i will look out for these places next time.

[@Tocodrive]

This quality is awesome! Great video i really love it so much.

[@SuredT]

@henkvanderlaak. In the States it is. Certain ceiling and visibility criteria apply.

[@zaphr89]

I flew with "this" flight a couple of weeks ago (klm601 to la and 602 back) service was good, airport kinda sucked lol (the departure area didnt have many stores, food courts etc) LA was freaking amazing but damn it was nice to fly the 747, my first time ever :) Thanks KLM!

[@johroo]

Sir i love your vids. I am not a jalous type but man what a job you have. thank you for your uploads and keep m coming.

[@terenzioberni]

Could you live a bit of taxing to the gate next time? Great video! Thanks a lot!

[@TheKimTwister]

@TheKimTwister i still cant get over these awesome videos hope u get more best regards kim

[@RobotGenitals]

WOW! GREAT video!!! Not only did you have a steady, non-handheld shot (unlike MOST other similar videos), you also had GREAT audio... Including radio traffic; and no stupid music to completely ruin it! OUTSTANDING!!!

[@SuredT]

@MarcoPalva. Do you know there was a time there weren't any PC's? Well in those days I got my flight training. There were only linktrainers, no vision, no 3 axis movements, only very simple computers. And nobody had a PC at home, they still had to be invented at that time. I am talking about the early 70's ;-)

[@DenisKomment]

poor people living in those houses below)) great video! i want more!

[@SuredT]

@mechan9. For flights longer than 9 hrs we have three pilots and for flights longer than 12 hrs we have 4 pilots.

[@FlywithGerrit]

I can see where you're coming from with the 4 and 2 runways, heathrow having more movements if you look at one runway for a given amount of time, but i was talking about the total traffic movements. And yes, I am aware of these rules and I know them by heart.

[@Jinti42]

Woho nice! Need more of this awesomeness !!!

[@sohcsarewicked]

this sound is very relaxing :)

[@FF35Pilot]

@1053857 there is always a glideslope. when flying a visual approach, the pilots still use an ILS, just not connected to an Autopilot. There are triangles that show up on the PFD showing localizer and glideslope situation

[@crazymxrider]

Damn, big big kudos to the men and women working as ATC on the airports around the world. Amazing how co-ordinated it all can look for a outsider!

[@ssscyborg1987]

Awesome video

[@unclecoolie]

Great job! This may just be your best video yet!

[@juxtapos99]

@3:01 KLM 6-0-1 heavy LA tower wind 2-4-0 at 9er runaway 2-5 left clear to land. only took me 10 times to understand what the hell she said. wow lots of instructions from the tower. @4:11 it's cool to see Delta 1508 sitting at the end of the 25R, the challenger crossing 25R and American 1458 taxing to 25R. nice vid. I just learned a bit about ATC in this past 30 minutes. thanks!

[@1053857]

@Flooo9090 This was a visual approach I believe, so there is no glideslope, although he can use the PAPI. But when you're on an ILS, once you've disconnected the AP, you follow the localiser/glideslope with the flight director.

[@FSstefan7]

very bissy airport!. Great video. realy love the ATC. Any tips or advice for an upcoming pilot?. bij klm natuurlijk:P. ik moet alleen nog een paar jaartjes wachten. Keep them coming.

[@SuredT]

@FF35Pilot. Certain visibility criteria. No, the morse code is automatically translated into the Ident letters which are then shown on the PFD or ND.

[@Anthony1970ifly]

I love USA! As that Qantas 747 was on approach I just looked outside and LA is amazing! Comparing it to Australia, LA is so much better. Thank you for posting this vid!

[@renebroneinternationalthew8565]

*Cool & Lovely Landing Again! Cheers: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines! :-)*

[@Baskasin10]

beautiful great video..! thanks for sharing pilot.. :)

[@egeneric]

excellent resolution ! airspeed seems so slow in this (short runway?) enjoy the weather Sured T ^~^

[@Sanfthauch]

Great thank you! Los Angeles is so huge o.O

[@piggypolice]

Excellent video!

[@leviathan85]

Another great video . If you ever fly into CYVR, can you please put it on KZbin? I've been waiting for a good one of Vancouver to come on here for the longest time.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

fantastic video !!!!! very impressive.

[@Rubinho96]

Amazing landing

[@markyyyyyyyy321]

I keep coming back to this video I love it, I land just like this at LAX on GEFS :)

[@jeanorwin]

@dyn4mic87 That the boeing is heavy ;). I think you're referencing to the "Caution Wake turbulences heavy boeing 747" - These are "winds" or actually turbulences that appear directly behind an aircraft and they can reach about 2-3 miles behind it.

[@egeneric]

I'm supremely captivated !

[@Mr11101956]

This was soo fantastic...i would love to see more of these keep em coming...

[@FF35Pilot]

@1053857 yes, but during any visual approach, a pilot will use every navaid available: vor/dme, GPS, PAPI, ILS

[@emd645e3c]

Great video. The ATC is a nice touch.

[@SnitchHeinrich]

Ja toch, dat had ik ook ergens gelezen. Beter krijgt dit even heel veel thumbs up zodat niet iedereen steeds blijft vragen waar de nieuwe videos blijven :P Jij hebt btw ook super videos man, keep em coming !

[@cyclingchantal]

Nice. Looks like a very windy approach.

[@marcelkrchnak]

Wonderfull !!! Please, keep filming. Regards, Marcel.

[@spacexplorer100]

I'm addicted watching this kind of videos.... may i request videos that include the whole taxiing procedure? that way.. i'll be more addicted ;-)

[@marioRamirez-sv3hm]

Great 👍👌👍wiew of 405 freeway. Missing la from New York.

[@jefferychow4765]

Man I miss my commute so much (Anaheim to Culver City) that I got teary-eyed watching this =D

[@Tuppoo94]

People dislike stuff just for the hell of it.

[@ThePlaneShow]

the lady in atc is very intense. Great Video

[@SuredT]

@Rafal102able. No Autoland means Autoland. The autopilot stays connected till the point where the pilot wants to leave the centerline at taxi speed. So the autopilot keeps tracking the ILS localiser on the runway exactly over the centerline by steering with the rudder. The autothrottle disconnects after the throttles are retarded to idle setting and reverse thrust is given. So after touchdown.

[@Starbuckin]

Very nice vid of 747 landing!

[@TheKimTwister]

@TheKimTwister amazing

[@woodlakerun]

@MyPilot747 It's all rubber. When those planes touch down, they first leave a good portion of rubber from the wheels on the runway, until the wheels roataion speed matches the aircrafts speed. The smoke you see from an aircraft that just touches down is an indicator that rubebr was melted and the runway got a little darker.

[@eminem0413]

@supersnozzer95 Incorrect, KLM is in the process of retiring the md11 and if anything, would switch to an a330 or 777, not to MD11, from what I know, it is still currently a 744.

[@evdude2005]

@Deltapilot96 Gotta love that LA smog lol.

[@50d4573reo]

Nice video thanks for sharing!

[@lorenzomelchiori8750]

Also in 2020 I'm inlove of this woman!

[@SuredT]

@MrBlackwoodTV. Most of the time we land manually. Only with bad visibility we land with autopilot.
