GOLD Flight - Flying the Presidential Boeing 747 BBJ

[@chrismwaniki3903]

From time 12:36 who else notices that the Pilot Flying missed deploying two Thrust Reversers Levers of engine1 & 4? And the pilot monitoring was very keen, attentive and sharp to quickly notice it and notify the pilot flying. Importance of CRM in terms of ensuring Flight Safety. I just loved that one

[@mrcannotfindaname]

PF deployed Eng TR 2&3, then TR 1&4. Since the PF is wearing Airbus lanyard, deploying only TR 2&3 makes me think he is A380 pilot.

[@GREGORY5TV]

is it normal to land a 747 with autotrust on ?? It can be danger as you can see the autotrottle increase power .

[@GREGORY5TV]

@@mrcannotfindaname maybe but the lanyard is customisable /i saw other pilot with different lanyard example ,captain boeing has a pan am lanyard , the PF could also be a 777 pilot as you can land 777 with autotrust on and the PM say to the PF " this one have 4 " refering to the engine

[@mrcannotfindaname]

@@GREGORY5TV auto thrust can be used, this actually helps to maintain the approach speed more easily, but the PF must make a firm and positive effort to retard the throttle levers, and can press the A/T disengage button if needed.

[@anasmaaz5731]

It is a 747-400 and some -400s are not supposed to be landed with autothrottles. As far as I know Boeings that are able to land with autothrottles on has a function where the thrust is idled at around 25ft. In the video, the autothrottles remained on SPD mode and it actually tried to increase the speed back to approach speed by increasing the throttles when the pilot tried to idle the thrust. You might have also noticed speed brakes stowing as soon the as thrust levers moved forward. So, may be this particular 747-400 does not have that option. I am not sure why the pilots tried to land with autothrottles though. It is similar to Airbus. In Airbus aircraft, even when you land with autothrust, the idling of thrust has to be done manually by the pilot. If this is not done, the aircraft will keep the thrust to maintain approach speed.

I was one of the Captains of A6-HMM before we sold it. That airplane truly lived up to its reputation of being the “Queen of the Sky”. Cherry on the cake, the GE engines were a charm to operate ✈️ 🇦🇪

I fly a similar aircraft in the left hand seat. One of my worries in life is that I’ll encounter a problem with my annual 1st class medical and lose my ability to provide for my family. However when I see the physical state of these two captains, especially the guy in the right seat my worries dissolve. Thank you. 😀

Dear Mr. Chui. I love watching your videos. Today I have only one reservation - during the flight over Central Europe, you also named my country - "Čečia". Our country is called the Czech Republic and, thanks to the stupidity of our journalists and politicians, Czechia for short. It is pronounced as you see it. Chechnya borders Georgia and has nothing to do with our beautiful country. I wish you a beautiful day.
