United Airlines 777-200 - Sunrise Landing At Chicago O'Hare

[@CyberSystemOverload]

This is how its done. No music, no long dubstep intro, no massive captions, no narration - just exactly as the video title has said!

[@309Aviation]

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching!

[@vuho2075]

I still like spending a bit of time in the airport lounge before boarding

[@309Aviation]

i’m sorry but that view of the Chicago skyline was absolutely stunning! this approach was 11/10 absolutely beautiful/breathtaking

The best skyline in the world! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this video! Everything about it was amazing! I also wasn't expecting that view towards the end mixed with such soothing music. It was beautiful to watch. Thanks again and safe travels!!

City so big over there USA I live in Australia ` Brisbane ` makes our city look like a country town. Lovely Video really in joy it. Love the sound of flaps coming down. I Subscriber. G`Day from Australia..

Thank you for watching and subscribing! It’s a really jam packed city when you think about it with it being right on Lake Michigan but it is beautiful. The 777 has classic sounds! G’day!

It’s a very popular route!

Living in Park Ridge, Illinois and watching the various aircraft take off and land at nearby O'Hare is fun. Always look for the various foreign carriers like Air France, Japan Airlines, British Airways and so many others.

[@309Aviation]

I’m jealous of the vantage point you have - always a treat to see those heavies!

[@ATLcentury334]

One of THE most beautiful cities to fly into at night. I recall a flight I took from SFO to DTW as we flew over Chicago, clouds were lit from beneath that were surrounding the skyscrapers. I sat pressed against the window taking it all in.

[@309Aviation]

Agreed! I do the exact same thing, it’s so mesmerizing. Thanks for watching!

[@luigiperrone8169]

[@309Aviation]

[@gerardmoran9560]

Great video! I'm glad you captured the remarkable deflection of the inboard flap. I flew the 72, 73, 75 & 76 but never had the seniority to hold the 77. Happy landings

[@309Aviation]

Still that's an incredible list of legendary aircraft to have flown! The 777 has such unique characteristics including the noises that it makes. Thanks for watching!

[@TenMinuteTrips]

For anyone who cares, that flap segment between the inboard and outboard flaps, the one that’s moving a lot while the aircraft is on short final, is called a “flaperon.” It functions as a flap when drooped with the main flaps but the deflections are designed to augment the roll control of the ailerons, particularly at slower airspeeds. If you watch carefully, you can see it deflect upward when the aileron out towards the wingtip, deflects up. The movement of the aileron is much more subtle than the movement of the flaperon.

[@gerardmoran9560]

@@TenMinuteTrips Great explanation. The flaperon is a good supplement to roll control. Like the spoilers, which aid in roll control way before the aileron reaches full deflection, the flaperon and roll control spoilers help even out the spanwise load on the wing resulting from roll commands. Smaller forces occurring all along the wingspan create less stress than a large force out at the tip.

[@chuckmiggs6703]

Surprised to see UA flying B777s on the ORD-LAX route. Love it !

[@309Aviation]

I believe it is just an easy way to reposition the 777s back to Chicago for the start of a busy day but I can't complain! It looks like the 777s will be operating the red eye flight from LAX-ORD for the foreseeable future. Thanks for watching!

it takes about 3 minutes from when you cross over the lake until you land by air....by car thas almost an hour with the traffic in chicago. great video.

[@tonyde52]

But you're also going at a speed of 180 MPH.

[@fightlikehell781]

The approaches to O’Hare and Midway are intentionally designed to highlight downtown Chicago.

[@309Aviation]

I’m always sad when ATC decides to land planes on the west side. This is definitely one of the best approaches in the world.

[@alwaysguessing4571]

Not because the winds?

[@309Aviation]

@@alwaysguessing4571 It does have a lot to do with the wind direction and speed, especially with being over the lake.

[@pacnwguy9056]

They are? I've never heard of approaches (or takeoffs) being "intentionally designed to highlight" any city skyline, including Chicago. I thought it was mostly wind directions and speeds. This is news to me and to be honest, I'm quite skeptical.

[@coyotelong4349]

IDK about that. Not every approach to either airport gives a view of downtown

the view is so amazing ❤️

Dated? Perhaps. But considered by many as Boeing's best, along with the 300ER.

When Boeing remembered how to build airplanes.
