GOLD Flight - Flying the Presidential Boeing 747 BBJ

[@madewithlofi]

What a privilege to join you with just two pilots on this epic journey on a presidential 747. ❤🙏🇬🇧 You're living the dream, Sam! Thanks for taking us with you. 🌟🥂

[@SamChui]

Thank you for watching my video!

[@gadgetsgimmicksandtech]

Sam, as someone who has also been in the privileged position of being able to film in situations and locations that the general public have not been granted access to, I completely get your humbleness, excitement and thrill at being there. Thank you for sharing this unique moment with us all.

Sharing it is why he was there and why he got the opportunity. Dunno what contacts he got but they must be top level

[@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.

[@gregory5tv135]

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

[@gregory5tv135]

@@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]

@@gregory5tv135 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.

747…hands down my favourite airplane. Beautiful and majestic

[@l8gendary763]

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 ✈️ 🇦🇪

Congrats Sam on your new promotion to Chief Flight Attendant! 🤩✈️

[@pilotguy5075]

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. 😀

Sam, an outstanding opportunity for you, really a once-in-a-lifetime you'll always cherish. My special memories are 2 B747 delivery flights with SQ, one 743, N125KL, and the first 744, (to enter service) 9V-SMB.

[@probablytwhatyouthinkB777]

I remember seeing this aircraft in Beijing on the 1st of September and questioning the resemblance to the Amiri flight B747. Thanks for another great video.

The ability you have to fly these V-VIP planes is above and beyond the most sought after dream of mine Sam. Im truly jealous of your life. Id be crying from joy for probably half of the flight.

[@MrKVETAK]

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.

Greetings Sam Chui another amazing video! I was wondering why you ask the main captain was he a 747 ferry pilot however, from your video I could plainly see that the main captain was a bit out of touch with flying a 747 ferry as the co captain pilot had to assist him with the 747 controls. Very dangerous !Sam Chui, is there a planned upcoming geopolitical NATO war with China? Thanks for sharing.
