Canadian Airlines 747-400 Flight Attendant Training Video

This video from the now defunct Canadian Airlines is a refresher course for flight attendants on the Boeing 747-400. The video goes over emergency procedures on board the aircraft as well as normal arrival and departure procedures. In addition the video shows the location of emergency equipment on board the aircraft and its operation. I hope you enjoy the video and as always feel free to leave comments!

Also, here’s a fun fact. Every aircraft toilet has two masks. This isn’t for mile high club members, nor is it a backup. One is for you, the other one is for your baby, if present in the toilet with you. Might help parents to know this fact.

[@Crumblstategov]

That’s cool

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

Your a few years late buddy. The FAA ordered them all removed because they are possible terrorism risks.

its really intresting to see how they trained flight attendants in the 90s and 00s. Thank for uploading!

I'm from Mexico and me and my boyfriend moved to Canada on March 9, 1998. We flew Canadian Airlines; Airbus A 320. It was a beautiful experience and in those days before we landed in Toronto they served breakfast (fruit or eggs). As a kid I remember watching in awe when CP Air planes were landing in Mexico City. I remember those beautiful DC-8's (they were huge). I miss Canadian Airlines. It offered such a great service. We still live in Toronto, and we both work for a hotel that years ago was a CP too. Sometimes I found cutlery with the old logo (CP) embroidered. It brings back memories when CP Air used to fly, the same logo in the cutlery as it was on the planes and trains too (CP Rail). Those were the good all days.

[@slinkybones]

Now that I have thoroughly watched this video, I feel that I am now ready to be a flight attendant on a Canadian airline.

[@zero696]

still gotta watch the video that teaches you to say "thanks" propperly

[@slinkybones]

DOES IT INVOLVE BOWING AND KISSING THE FEET OF THE PERSON YOU ARE THANKING???

[@theboyintheair]

It's a shame that most airlines don't have training videos for their cabin staff to take home, it seems to be such a practical way to revise your SEP's. You can read the manual a hundred times over, but seeing the visual makes it a lot more real. I also loved BA's ditching segment. That came out in the 70's when the 747 was new and most crew members couldn't imagine evacuating an aircraft of that size.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

they all do

[@uzaiyaro]

It’s somehow rather comforting to know that no matter where you are on your plane, you’re never too far from fire extinguishers or oxygen bottles. Especially since if a flight attendant (or you?) is waking around on a decompression, you kinda need those bottles rather quickly.

[@personofinterestchocolatem9158]

Daytime, No ice, Zero precipitation,Calm waters, everyone is calm, no medical situations, nobody screaming for their meds, nobody overweight, nobody physically disabled, aircraft fully intact. Everyone working as a team ( even if their part is to simply sit quietly) This would be great if even 1 water ditching of this caliber ( the Hudson ditching was unlike a 747-400 going down in an Ocean / Sea where rafts and their canopy's are needed ) Truthfully no matter how many pieces the aircraft breaks up into and if the exits can even be located to blow the slide / rafts, the fact that training is instilled into crew members minds will be better than not having any knowledge / training at all. So good for them, besides they learn from each unfortunate accident.

[@MandoMonge]

Don't know why this was on my recommended list, but loved to watch the similarities with my training...sadly, despite loving the 747, I just saw some design aspects that have been greatly improved on Boeing's later aircraft

The water ditching was what happened to US airways flight 1549

[@ShakespeareCafe]

If Sully’s not in command forget about water ditching

[@DanMcDine]

i wonder where did they do the ditching video, it does look like if it was in the sea with a mockup.

[@DanTheCaptain]

Most likely. Probably with a fuselage mockup in a dunk tank or something.

[@thedman1992]

That, or a large swimming pool.

[@jaswindersinghsuniara800]

upper deck door appears to rotate slightly before unlatching and can be operated in the disarmed state (no slide deployed)

[@starlightdiamond1]

Great video man you earned a subscriber

[@roachtoasties]

I've always wondered if the plane needed to ditch in the middle of the North Atlantic, far from help reaching them, whether the passengers in the life rafts will be in bad shape, in case help takes a long time to reach them, especially in poor weather, and I'm not even thinking about no food or water. At least with the survivors of the Titanic, everybody who made it to a lifeboat managed to survive.

[@jamesfildes5038]

Amazing videos! I'm so glad to see these. Do you have any more videos from Canadian Airlines?

[@thedman1992]

I wish I did, but I uploaded everything that I have. I hope you enjoy them!

Anybody know if there is a clip of the BA training video seen at the end online?

[@airodyssey]

I found the full BA video here, although it's a different version (classic life rafts instead of slide-rafts): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWqVZ2mai8iZjbs

[@tonyktown]

I nearly fell asleep 3 times during this video...just like I do during recurrent. :-D

[@gordonmarvin9993]

The only thing that’s missing in their emergency equipment is raft survival kits, imagine being on a raft in the middle of the pacific or Atlantic without necessary survival supplies

[@odette4059]

they have it in a longer video of this. health kits, sos kits, repair kits, tools etc. This clip shown here isn’t the full thing

[@d0g3br34d]

I’ll watch a 30 minute long flight attendant training video but I won’t watch my 5 minute school lesson videos

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

[@2454605]

Where did you get these from?! They're great! CP forever!

[@thedman1992]

I got these off eBay. I found most of my videos on there and I wanted to share them with the world.

[@2454605]

Thank you! Out of curiosity, who is Ebaying these things? They are ex trainers or employees?

[@thedman1992]

Not exactly sure, I don't think they came from Canada so it might have just been a collector or an ex-employee of some sort.

that water landing situation actually never happens isn't it?

It is a mock situation

[@anonymoushater8479]

Captain Sully had to ditch into the hudson river. There alot more water than land and if you can't fly to land in time its your only option.

[@32snowbound60]

most water landings have not ended well...

[@arandompersonontheinternet2282]

There was a United flight a while ago where they would have had to ditch in the middle of the Pacific if they had taken a route that strayed further from Hawaii.

[@beehard44]

damn 1L requires 3 hands, what with: -holding down the gust lock while closing the door with the door handle and assist handle -evacuating bringing a first aid kit, radio beacon, and megaphone with you

[@arandompersonontheinternet2282]

Um. They don't close doors after evacuation. This is to allow the fire crew to get inside the aircraft quickly.

[@beehard44]

@@arandompersonontheinternet2282 you can board through 1L and close the door after to depart

[@arandompersonontheinternet2282]

Yes. But you would not bring emergency equipment with you. In normal operation it requires 2 hands to close, yes, but in emergency operation (which is what you are describing) the door is left open, and you still only need 2 hands.

[@beehard44]

[@Flyingfinn82]

Must of been expensive for Canadian to blow the slides for a video.

[@thedman1992]

I think its an important part of FA training to learn how to properly evacuate via the slide, plus they need to get tested from time to time anyways.

[@colonelpotter]

When they go into D check that's when they do this stuff

[@dintadoba4808]

@@thedman1992 I dont think cheap airlines will use real blow slide or film a video like this

[@thetomgamerboi6817]

That’s a new aircraft, the video was filmed before the fleet entered service. The cost was most certainly worth it.

[@straightpipediesel]

After a bunch of evacuations where the slides didn't deploy, government regulations require that they pop at least one slide every time they expire and need repacking. That's when they film these things, so it's basically free. Also, the footage at 10:55 isn't a Canadian plane, none of their 747 liveries had the dark blue stripe at door level.

[@crashskunk5888]

"Door 6 will be used as a last resort" Um... isn't the drop from the top deck on a 744 like, 10 ft?

[@adrianalbahaca4213]

Connor McColgan they will open those doors with slide inflation, obviously they won't just jump 10 feet into the water

[@nowaymuller6643]

It depend how big your feet are lol.

[@VelvetCondoms]

I suppose a 10 foot drop is preferable to drowning or being burned alive.

[@staycgirlsitsgoingdown2]

WAY more than 10 feet, I’m pretty sure the drop from the main deck doors was around 15-20. The upper deck woulda been something like 40-50 feet

[@w.clifford]

What ever happened to Canadian?

[@jessecancelmo7635]

Merged into Air Canada

[@thedman1992]

It went under, and became part of Air Canada.

[@ELPaso1990TX]

How is the escape shute attached to the door step when door is armed?

[@visionist7]

On a lot of planes the slide has a metal rod attached to the top of it that fits into a housing underneath the door. Opening the door pulls the slide out of its case but the base of the slide stays attached under the door as the slide deploys. Here the arming lever probably engages & disengages the rod from the slide container to the housing under the door. I remember some planes were where the whole process was manual and you placed a red flag on the inside of the door window to warn anyone outside that the slide was armed.

[@someguy23475]

Do you also have this in French? Otherwise, this wouldn't fly in Quebec.

[@jonathandpg6115]

False airlines operate in English even in Quebec. This is for safety purposes.
