QANTAS Boeing 767 - Sydney to Bne

[@Crosshead1]

Great video. Gives me a new appreciation for just how much the flight crew actually fly the plane, at least during take off and landing.

[@peteacher52]

Very informative. People who are good at their job always make it look easy!

[@planesounds]

@Blazy9 I'm not sure what your question is. But everyone uses the same runways. Here we're on one six right (16R). It is actually the runway closest to the Int Terminal in Sydney for most operations. I'm sure that if load factors justified it, Australian operators would use a 747 for a domestic route such as Sydney-Perth. But we don't need such capacity at this stage.

[@planesounds]

We'd really have to ask the strategists in QANTAS as to exactly why they allocate specific planes to particular routes, but, the Sydney - Bne route can be passenger intensive and the 767 gives up to 100 extra passengers capacity. Which can translate into significant efficiency savings. 767's are scheduled on the run as I write this. At least one per day in addition to the small fry on the route.

[@ChrisFrameOfficial]

Yes, it's a 767-238ER "City of Lake Macquarie" (Del 12/85). I flew on this aircraft between PER and MEL in April 1997!

[@planesounds]

@guesswhat6789 That's the trim for pitch and roll. (Elevator and aileron) Shows how busy it can be for that smooth arrival.

[@nenblom]

I just returned from Europe yesterday. We flew from Stockholm, Sweden to Munich, Germany, to Boston and then to Philadelphia. I am feeling that time change now! LOL!! I do love planes though!

[@nenblom]

CNBC did a very interesting documentary on American Airlines some time ago. You should be able to find it online. It approximately 1.5 hours long. It shows how major airlines operate and the challenges that they face in the air and on the ground.

[@planesounds]

Pretty sure that the panel and grouping that you're curious about is all about circuit breakers. Only need a quick glance as popped breakers are usually obvious and then only show up under fault conditions. That's why the pilots won't pay much attention to the panel after first checks. Fault indications show up on lights on the panel and the the pilots would start looking for the popped CB and then track down the fault.

[@planesounds]

@jjownsall Thanks for the positive comment. It was great being up there after only flying littlies. It's the speeds that knock you out. Looking at the numbers when we were slowing down on descent and seeing that we're well over the Vne of Warriers and 172s! And rate of descent that isn't even on the VSI of the average lightplane!

[@leyva1998]

This is an awesome video. great flying on that final cross wind. you lucky guys!

[@planesounds]

@tmacization For non-aviation fans, if I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand anyway. Glad that you enjoyed it. I tried to capture the essence of so much that is happening when "all they are doing" is flying the plane. Glad that you're a future ATPL who loves planes and flying, long may the romance prosper and take you to places other people only dream of. Good luck, thanks for commenting.

[@planesounds]

That's the pitch and roll (elevator, aileron) trim. It is interesting how he flies it in on the trim.

[@ch64621]

Great video......I love Brisbane airport.......I enjoyed landing there on runway 19 in a Cesna 210 while doing my CPL training

[@planesounds]

That's correct. That's why I made sure I videoed it. He certainly toggles it a lot as we turn onto final.

[@planesounds]

@fsxpilot21 No. sorry. It was one that was only promoted at the airshow and tickets sold then and there. The best I can suggest in that sort of situation is, whenever at airshows and fly-ins, keep an eye open for the local raffles. For example there were a couple of flying prizes being raffled at Watts Bridge weekend before last.

[@pigkiller7171]

the stuff behind the overhead is the circuit breakers for everything that use electricity, about the only time pilots touch them is if one pops inflight.

[@aerobliss]

What an amazing video. Thank you for uploading!

[@planesounds]

You'll notice that registrations are used for all of the communications that you can hear during this flight. No QFs. It was a scheduled flight. Sorry I can't confirm the date, but that may give an idea about differences in procedures.

[@grulloc]

@dombarca97 ILS probebly, You heard a marker beacon and there was what look like a glide slop on the left of the attitude indicator. Could still be wrong, that's my best guess.

[@legomovies64]

@louis5224 Because back when the 767-200's were in QF service, they used the registration as the call sign, so EAM = Echo Alpha Mike. Now though, they use the flight numbers.

[@felix_gliem_headhunter]

@planesounds false..the switches or buttons are also for the communication with AES Push-back, ground control and/or Tower and Air-traffic-control. To get the IFR-clearance you usually use a special tool on a side.

[@trentos10]

fantastic video!

[@planesounds]

It's just a trick of the light coupled with a non-matching area of paint. There were no calls of the concern from the aircraft as it came into Sydney.

[@pigkiller7171]

there can be many reasons. it could be the passenger demand, required equipment, broken plane, extc

[@sy2015]

I couldn't make out the PA explanation for 16R departure for Brisbane (unusual - normally 16L). Do you remember?

[@tanebaker4115]

Good video. 4 months of flying and I only have 80hrs! Many more to go:)

[@GustavoSilva101]

@planesounds i am a pilot, and the switches on the yoke are only for the trim

[@GustavoSilva101]

@planesounds not the aileron....only the elevator

[@planesounds]

@Blazy9 We're in a 767. The 747 that slides across on touchdown in Sydney is nothing to do with us,

[@irish89055]

@planesounds what are the switches on the yoke you were manipulating with your left thumb? Not sure why the jump seat videographer didn't film out the windscreen at touchdown, maybe to show how the pilot has to work the yoke on landing , regards from Virginia

[@MegaHighflyer10]

great vid....cant wait to start flight school this is my dream

[@nenblom]

I remember, some years ago, flying on a 767 from Charlotte, NC to Philadelphia, PA which is only about an hour's flight. I have flown on the 767 a few times but the other flights were overseas. How long does it take from Sydney to Brisbane?

[@bpmuppet72]

Normally it’s just over an hour in the air from takeoff to landing.

[@planesounds]

@felix4ger What's false? In this case the question and discussion concerns the use of the trim "top hat" control. Communication PTTs are also on the yoke, but that's not what the PIC is toggeling on final. Have another look at watch and listen, there's not Flight Service chat and definitely no Push-back request. Or do you have a few hundred hours in 767's and know better?

[@EmpireofBritain96]

Btw, I know its been long since the vid but there is stuff behing the overhead panel, is that for the engineers to deal with, as I have never seen pilots touching it or maybe I'm wrong.

[@Apricotham]

i love the drawn out captain pax brief haha

[@VH-ZXB]

Nice work ..

[@turnnat]

I noticed them using the call sign Echo Alfa Mike, yet that is a bit odd. Most, if not all QF flights use the Flight number as their call sign. For example the QFA025 MEL-AKL-LAX use "Qantas 25" as their call sign, not the registration of the A/C, ie OJB. Just seems weird

[@markpeterson3220]

hand flying - love it

[@boeing737airliner]

I saw the speed indicator at 130 kts. i did'nt know the 767 had such low minimums.

[@FelicianB]

Wow, that was a quick acceleration during take off! No derate?

[@Macarto]

What is the function of the left button on the yoke the pilot is pressing?

[@planesounds]

@thestig747 As I understand it, QANTAS no longer allows any non-flying aircrew into the cockpit whilst en-route anymore. And I don't think that there's any realistic chance of a look in the cockpit during turn-around dis-embarcation, embarcation. How about having a chat to the careers guidance teacher at your high school. They may be able to arrange a visit as part of a careers outing.

[@Apricotham]

This for me is the ultimate dream on the 76

[@alex9734]

4:23 best sound, amazing.

[@aussieboi82]

Just a great video.

[@turnnat]

Great video! Brings back memories for me. Why was this a/c using the callsign 'Echo Alfa Mike (EAM)' Instead of 'Qantas (flight number)' on this occasion? Was this a Charter?

[@shanerobertspilot]

LOL at 6:45 "request clearance" "ahhhh you're on tower"

[@Acekiller29]

@tmacization how much did it cost you. and when ur in the air flying ur hours do u get paid?

[@anguscovoflyer95]

strong crosswind on landing there

[@alwalk21]

Hey, love the vid mate. I've watched it probably 10/11 times. I hope to one day become a pilot....just a quick question. Around the 6 and a half minute mark you're looking over the Captain's shoulder at his PFD. I notice on the left hand side of that are some symbols that resemble the aircraft's position on the ILS glide slope but it has a square instead of a diamond. What is this? Cheers again for the vid, you really did capture the essence of it all.

[@hena330]

Fantastic video, gotta love those GE's Terribly sad Qantas is Phasing out the 767, even more sad all of the -200's are gone, now all the 300 RR's have gone ;(

[@anels9]

Pratt’s not GE

[@passie-paparazzi]

Nice vid !! This is a dream for a lot of ppl.. Lucky Bastard :)

[@technobuddies1]

It could have been a stop bye at Brisbane, the plane could have continued on to New Zealand or something... One time I went on a A330 from SYD to ADL then the plane continued on to Singapore :)

[@boeing757200american]

why such a big plane for short flight?

[@thestig747]

Hey mate, I am 13 and realy, really interested in aviation and I would love to get in the cockpit for the flight. I am flying domestic qantas in a few weeks, and how can I get in there? I have been in the cockpit just on the ground, but I would like a better experience. Thanks, Ollie

[@planesounds]

@gustavo87467357 Sorry Gustav. Pitch AND roll. Watch that he's moving it across as well as up and down. Check with a pilot if you like.

[@MrStefanovvv]

how long is flight?

[@apache1234657]

why wasn't it an ils approach

[@MrStefanovvv]

@AlexFHDVideos why only 737 flies this route?

[@planesounds]

@fsxpilot21 Certainly was. Won a trip to Sydney to do an hour in the 747-400 simulator. Won it at the Archerfield Airshow that Bob Hoover performed at. It was raising money for the QANTAS Founders Museum at Longreach. It was funny checking in and telling the checkin girl that I was to ride up the front with the pilots (and a friend of mine came too). Jump seat 1 or jump seat 2 isn't taken seriously at checkin.

[@Allexxtt]

hey at what age can you get in to aviation school?

[@Mdemons12]

when was this?

[@nenblom]

Must be pretty good then!!

[@nenblom]

How long of a flight is that? Great video!

[@bigbadbossyoc]

It's probably just a stop over flight before they do the actual flight.

[@adamtassell4001]

Really Enjoyed the video. Well done :) I have a question... After 9/11 I have tried for months to get the chance to sit in the cockpit of an aircraft... How do you do it? or should i say how did you get to sit in the cockpit? :)

[@GustavoSilva101]

@planesounds ohh...ok then... i guess i didn't understand pretty well what you said so

[@joaofbi4321]

@tmacization Hey, I heard You recently Licensed commerical pilot, Have you been hired by an airline yet? Also i was just wondering what kind of grades did you get in your GCSE's And did it have any affect on you getting your license?

[@planesounds]

How does 1995 sound? Top marks. That's probably the right model.

[@OriginDeeziire]

I've Seen Qantas 747 BNE - Sydney, While I take 777 BNE - Auckland

[@alonsoflight]

why he is pressing two buttons in the helm

[@ashfaqul11]

nevertheless, absolutely brilliant video, i REALLY enjoyed it, 5*

[@felix_gliem_headhunter]

I did not say you were false at all, that was just an addition for nearly all types of aircrafts. I don't want to offend you...

[@ClarkeyAviationHD]

Wonderful

[@captainchris93]

who was the dude in the back with the excellent mustache?

[@maknam]

Nice !

[@505stealth]

Too bad the camera was so dang gittery...really messes up the spectacle of what the plane and pilots are doing.

[@QuentinCarter1975]

About 90 Minutes give or take.

[@planesounds]

@Mdemons12 Found the hiding logbook. July 1996.

[@louis5224]

why can't they say qantas 52284

[@AussieAircraft98]

why was your callsign EAM, Was this a charter flight?

[@AussieAircraft98]

Robo Lepro i know that but usually, a QFA radio call is "Qantas" so I don't know why they use Echo Alfa Mike

[@planesounds]

This was a few years ago leading up to a Federal election. PM John Howard was in a VIP jet going up to Coolangatta to address a gun control campaign meeting, that's his plane that we look down on as we're climbing out. Originally you could hear his name mentioned in the cockpit discussions. We also had to divert out to sea not below 10,000 over Cooly for security reasons!!! Well. we were asked to. The captain refused and continued with a normal approach into Brisbane.

[@amdsasr3]

@planesounnds looks like hes following the gs indicator.....

[@marknicol9405]

Only 4% N1 for fuel run is amazing

[@oYFOR]

nice..

[@auzzierocks]

i never realised pilots could film the cockpit

[@ashfaqul11]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH, im at a point in my life of deciding between a pornstar or a pilot, now i know which path to choose.

[@planesounds]

@gustavo87467357 Exactly. Just as has been said.

[@FelicianB]

because they do a good job.

[@Thunderbirds747]

the GPWS is just like in payware addons of FSX

[@MrDgunning]

nice manual flying

[@505stealth]

No kidding. but with continued new trickle orders that keep happening for the 767 program(in the private sector)................it may well in deed still be flying as Freighter/or Air refuel-er in 50 years time. Will trained and skilled pilots be around as they are today? or will they be considered like fast-food workers? low-skilled and low-paid?

[@planesounds]

Careful or they'll become lost skills. Headline in 50 years time: "Man flies airliner without using computer!".

[@grulloc]

talk about cross wind! lol

[@bijlmermont]

@joker1031000 17

[@FatPizza56]

why qantas still use 767 is beyond me, plane has become old and out-dated, hopefully we see them use A350's in the future

[@505stealth]

This is a bitching video, shows Pilots actually controlling the functions and flying the plane by muti-tasking

[@felix_gliem_headhunter]

@planesounds false..the switches or buttons are also for the communication with AES Push-back, ground control and/or Tower and Air-traffic-control. To get the IFR-clearance you usually use a special tool on a side. on the right and on the left the trim-switches

[@Mdemons12]

what is it on the front of the hump on the 747-400.
