[4K] - Full Flight - United Airlines - Airbus A319-132 - MCI-SFO - N889UA - UA1763 - IFS Ep. 786

[@sla31]

This is flight 1 of 13 from my recent journey around the world. In September/October, I set out to circumnavigating the Earth, and after 9 days, 8 airlines, 13 flights, and over 24,000 miles, I eventually landed back in Kansas City after visiting San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Doha, London, Dublin, Munich and Newark. Over the next 3 weeks I'll be posting these flights in order, so you too can take this incredible journey with me! If the video doesn't have this bit at the top of the description, and in the pinned comment, it is not part of the around the world flights.

Awesome achievement mate. You must be the first person holding a camera continuously to finish the around-the-world journey.

I love an early morning flight when it's clear and calm.

[@scottiebartz3098]

Air travel is the way to go I've been to Vegas by plane and south Dakota by plane and the view is spectacular and it's so relaxing to fly

[@janverhulst2220]

I'll be watching every single second of this - perhaps not actively as this is my go to background noise for work. I've even considered going across the world myself just to get some work done :)

[@williamstoertz]

Really like this particular flight; I'm watching it for the third time now. The mountains and deserts are crisp and clear; the low angle of the morning sun, constantly with us, makes their silhouettes stand out in 3-D. The Rockies begin from 1:14. Other aircraft show up at 1:18:12~:39 tiny against the mountains, 1:38:14~:47 heading East, 2:00:31~:01:05 over a fertile Utah valley, 2:08:20~:24 just as we pass the playa, 2:12:06~:28 far above pulling a jet trail, 2:18:37~:52 a little nearer as we cross the basin-and-range, there's a couple perfectly round craters at 2:25:55~:26:41, a distant plane pulling contrail at 2:27:03~:40, a nondescript black object trundles past at 2:41:12~:16, as we pass Mammoth Ski Resort a jet heading due north crosses right over us at 2:50:12 till it simply disappears in the distant haze at 2:51:00. Descent begins at 2:52 as the Bay Area cloud cover draws into view. Forest fires are evident at 2:53. Becomes socked in by 3:00 hrs. Motorboat at 3:15:54~:16:01! Great show from start to finish!

[@sla31]

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend! Sometimes the weather just cooperates, and other times it definitely does not haha. On this day it did. Thanks for watching!

[@AviationFlights2023]

Thats awesome my friend!

This brings back memories of all the early-morning flights to Phoenix I’ve had through childhood.

[@partyrock2081]

Where did you fly from to phoenix?

[@emadraza3698]

Cool its so good to see this whole flight

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

The noise starting at 8:17 is the power transfer unit (PTU), part of the hydraulic system on Airbus A320 series aircraft, which include this A319. To my understanding, it helps distribute hydraulic fluid to different systems in the aircraft. It can often be heard just after push back when only one engine has been started.

Welcome my friend! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And good news, I post brand new full flights like this twice every week, and I post new takeoffs and landings every day. So there plenty for you to sift through 😁.

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

I had to come back to the Flying Around The World 2023 Trip. If I’m were too guess, do you prefer the Around the World 2023 Trip or the Around the world 2024 trip? For me: 2024! It has new airlines, airports and has more segments than ever! Will there be a Around The World 2025 Trip with 50 Segments 🤔💭

[@sla31]

Oh that's a good question. Both were great for different reasons. Of course, 2023 had way less actual flying. Only 13 flights I think... 2024 obviously had a lot more with 33. So, I really enjoyed both for different reasons. Obviously I love aviation and flying. Otherwise I wouldn't do this at all haha. But, I also really love traveling in general. Experiencing new places, cultures, foods, etc. And in 2023, with only 13 segments, I had A LOT more time away from the airports. I did a lot of exploring and stuff away from the airports. In 2024 I didn't really have time to do any of that. With 33 flights over a 14ish day period I was exhausted at the end of every day and I pretty much just checked into my hotels and crashed. But, 2024 was also way more diverse aviation wise. Which, as we've determined, I also love haha. So 2024 was more fun in that respect. They both had their great moments. I haven't decided what I'm doing for 2025 yet past January, so that's still an open book. But I'd say there's probably a pretty good chance something similar happens again. 50 segments though... Man... I don't know about that. 33 was already crazy haha. I guess time will tell haha.

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

@@sla31Yeah 50 sounds like too much…. Maybe 40 or 43 are better… Or you may reduce it.

[@sla31]

@@GarlandTexasSpotter2024 Well with the way I do things, I doubt I reduce it haha. We'll see though.

Is there a captain announcement before descent and inflight?

Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure there is a captain announcement, but I don't keep notes on every flight on when those happen, so I couldn't tell you where it is at.

If you blink, you'll miss the opposite direction traffic, close and nearly hidden by the engine 2:08:20. And another 2:50:18 south to north, over the top. Greaser landing on 28L. Appears the cabin crew didn't bother your fellow pax much.

Good catches my friend! And yeah, it was a pretty quiet flight all around. It’s a nice change compared to airlines like American where they won’t quit talking up their credit card lol.

Part 1 of A long Journey

[@scottbridge9391]

Wow. Looks like you did your OWN version of The Amazing Race! About 8 years ago, one of my friends did a full 360 around the planet leaving from SEA arriving back in SEA. She did this in much less time than you did. I congratulated her when she did it. You and her have proven that the Earth really is round and not flat. :) I don't think that a Flat Earther would want to see your videos. :) It would shatter their reality too much. Anyhow, great views of Utah and Nevada. Your next adventure is to become a passenger aboard the ISS and do 10-20 orbits around the earth.

[@sla31]

Don't worry, I'm sure the flat Earthers have some ridiculous reasoning for home something like this is possible haha. And hmmm.... Anyone know anyone at NASA?

[@scottbridge9391]

@@sla31 Actually, one of my GF's high school classmates has worked at the JPL in Pasadena for many years. At my GF's 30 year HS reunion back in 2015 - this was right after the New Horizons flyby of Pluto - she (her classmate) gave me the full inside scoop of this mission and the discoveries they found about Pluto. She said that up until a few days ago, scientists thought they understood the many properties of water and ice - until the data from New Horizon completely shattered everything they thought they knew about it. They saw water do things that they thought were physically impossible. She was also heavily involved in the Cassini mission to Saturn and she told me a lot about that too. And... they also confirmed that Pluto was not flat either. :)

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! What's the total flight time that you flew in all 13 flights and 24,000+ miles excluding layover?

[@sla31]

Around 58 hours.

[@TristenChenLife]

15:19 i’m completely blinded. I’m curious to know what is that humming noise you hear during takeoff?

[@sla31]

So the hum you hear during takeoff is created by the engine's fan blades. When takeoff thrust is applied, the fan blades actually spin faster than the speed of sound, and the humming or buzzing you hear is the thousands of small sonic booms being created by the tips of the fan blades. The reason why it dissipates as you climb is because as you climb, burn fuel, and get into thinner air, less power is needed and eventually the fan blades dip back below the speed of sound.

[@TristenChenLife]

@@sla31 oh wow, interesting! Never knew about that. You know I’m traveling to Kentucky this Sunday and I’m flying on Southwest. But man, these planes are extremely rare on Southwest. Those planes with the humming takeoff noise. It is not on all planes, only on some of them. I think mostly airbus.

[@sla31]

​@@TristenChenLife all planes have it, you just don't always hear it as there are multiple factors that go into whether you can or not. First, you have to be sitting in front of the engine. Because of the complicated physics and the way sound waves work, if you are behind the engine fan blades you won't hear it. I don't know how to explain that as I have no idea how all of those things work to make that the case, but you will only hear it if you're in front of the engine. So where you are sitting makes a difference if you can hear it or not. And then there are tons of other factors that determine whether it happens or not. If the flight is light, or it's a short flight and there isn't a ton of fuel and it's a long runway, the crew will likely perform a de-rated takeoff. This means they are only using the power needed to takeoff and not more. Often times de-rated takeoffs do not require the engines to be pushed far enough for the blades to break the sound barrier. So in those cases, no one will hear it no matter where they're sitting because it won't happen. Another factor is the engine itself. On some engines it is more prevalent than others, but both Airbus and Boeing aircraft have it. In fact, many Airbus A320 series and 737's have the same basic engine. They're just modified slightly on the 737 to accommodate the fact it sits much lower to the ground than A320's. They're all basically the same CFM-56 engine though and they all do this. Now this particular A319 has IAE engines, so it's not the CFM-56, but it obviously still has the buzz. The last factor is whether it's a next generation engine or not. The new CFM Leap engines on the 737 Max have had their fan blades specifically designed to try to eliminate as much of the buzz as possible. And most of the time you won't hear it at all on a MAX, but you still do on occasion if you are heavy, and at high altitude airports. It's all completely normal though. Thanks for watching my friend. I hop you have a great trip!

[@TristenChenLife]

@@sla31 wow, thank you so much for this very detailed comment. That gives me quite some information. That’s interesting. So now where are the fanblades usually? So that way I know where is a good place to sit. I noticed on international flights. I don’t usually hear the “buzz.” And I’m guessing it’s because of the limited amount of fuel. But when I’m in China and I’m on a two hour flight from Beijing to Nanjing, I hear the buzz. I find it to be really satisfying though. I hope you put out more cool videos! I love watching your videos because of all the detailed chapters and all the details you have in it. Thank you very much.

[@sla31]

@@TristenChenLife ​ Well the fan blades are always right at the front of the engine, but the seats that are in front of that point will changed based on the type of aircraft and the way the airline has the seats configured. So I'd need to know exactly what type of plane and airline you're going to be on to answer that fully.

[@sla31]

So does Wichita, Kansas as they installed glass bridges when they built their new terminal in the 2010s.

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

let us know when you actually fly out of or into a different airport, seems like most of the videos are of the same 4 or 5 airports, can only watch the same airport so many times before unsubscribing.

[@sla31]

I’ve flown to 70 different airports, just in 2023…. And I’ve actually featured even more than that on the channel in 2023 thanks to footage I filmed the year before at airports I haven’t even visited this year. I’ve also only duplicated 4 routes in 2023, out of 96 full flights posted. So I don’t really get your criticism here my friend. I feel like I feature a much larger variety of airlines, aircraft, and places than 98% of other aviation channels. That, I do have to fly out from my home to film footage. Which means Tulsa and Kansas City inevitably get featured more. But even so, I do my best to not duplicate routes in the same year, which is why I’ve only duplicated 4 all year. You know what the next 10 airports to be features are? Hnl, NRT, ITM, HND, BKK, DOH, LHR, DUB, MUC and EWR. I do the best I can, while spending my own money to keep this channel running, to keep things interesting and fun. But if you don’t want to see MCI or TUL then maybe you should just go ahead and unsubscribe… Because those are my home airports. I mean, I don’t want you too, but I have to fly out of somewhere….

[@shutterbugshirlstravels]

Kansas City--the NEW MCI--is a lovely airport! I enjoyed it on a trip last month for the first time...plus, I also went to the TWA Museum! 🙂🩷
