Hi from the Hong Kong Radar, thank you for flying into Hong Kong, honored to be included in your video, been watching you since FSX days. Looking forward to see you flying in Hong Kong again
Just to be clear to all you non-Chinese. The Chinese comms were mostly just standard normal ATC in Chinese language, AirforceProud's translation is just comedy of his own creation.
As an irl HK ATC id say the ZSPD delivery guy speaks better english than 90% of mainland controllers/pilots out there. Great stuff and keep up the good work
Maybe I'm wrong given that Hong Kong is under the "One Country, Two Systems" set-up, but I was told when I went over to China in 2019 that they have compulsory English lessons for school students in China. Is that not correct? A lot of the time, I'd say "Ni hao" as a greeting, and the person would say "hello" back to me in English.
Hey pal .. On the EFIS press the MTRS button and will show the altitude in meters above the altitude in feet ..So when ever you scroll the altitude knob the altitude will automaticaly convert on the pfd
I like that Americans get surprised when someone speaks English when it's literally "The Universal Language" If you're not American, then I'm sorry for assuming you are. Still my point stands. It's very amusing.
@@notapplicable8957In reality Chinese ATCs need to be certified in English. In larger airports English is spoken quite frequently, as not only foreign pilots use English but also some Chinese pilots elect to do comm in English as practice (probably due to company policy). ATC will ask the latter to transmit in Chinese during rush hour, though.
@@SN57ONEon top of being an international trade language, its also the official language of aviation comms, everyone has to speak it or they get fired😂
Darth plaegus the is a Sith legend, a long time ago, there was a sith so powerful, he could literally save someone’s life, as someone so powerful, you are always afraid to lose your power. So, Darth plaegus taught his apprentice everything he knew, until one night, his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It’s ironic how, he could save lives, but could not stop himself from dying.
Just did my first flight yesterday on VATSIM. KDAL to KMEM. Not too busy and the controllers were super nice and helped me with any mistakes I made. You should try it out!
Lol, it's definitely not above your skill level. I can hear a lot of 10-12 year old kids flying on VATSIM, if they can do it I'm pretty sure you can too.
@@Funiculusjust completed a couple flights today and all my controllers didn’t speak as fast in this video. So you will probably be fine. And they never verbally gave me clearance they were sending it out through vpilot
This is my asmr NGL. I love all the Comms and conversation between Tc and pilot. I feel so safe and comfortable listening to this. I could listen to a transatlantic flight full no problem
You can also look up asmr ambience videos of ATC on RUclips my guy. I get it fr it's soothing af it feels like proper professionals are overseeing everything.
When he sets autobrake to RTO, the flaps are already set at 10 degree. Next shot is him setting flaps to 10. So I'm guessing it's just editing out of sequence. Edit: Nvm 😂 it is at Off after that too.
2 things, In the glare shield panel, just left of the barometer selection knob there is a button called "MTRS" which is essentially opens an altimeter in the PFD that reads the altitude in meters. For Offsetting just press RTE on the 747 FMC and on the bottom right corner you can enter an offset distance and the plane will follow it i.e. L05 for Left of track 5nm, or R20 which is Right of track 20nm. Hope these helps :)
Bro you got the unannounced PLA takeover of ATC and restriction of airspace. Authentic Chinese aviation experience. Both the ZSPD and VHHH tower nailed it props to them.
A 737 too! But not entirely out of reality: Pan Am did have a hub operation in Tokyo (first from RJTT, then RJAA when it opened), which was sold to United along with the rest of their Pacific division. United have since dismantled the Tokyo hub, but still they still hold the fifth-freedom traffic rights through Tokyo inherited from PAA (they were actually supposed to launch RJAA-RPVM this summer but it was postponed). Had Pan Am kept the Pacific division (and otherwise didn’t go kaput), I feel like it wouldn’t be too out of the picture to see their planes at Shanghai, at least before the 787. That said, a 737 seems a bit small for Tokyo, considering United and Delta (who inherited Northwest’s fifth-freedom rights through Tokyo) pushed loaded 747s through Tokyo. I did once fly the busy RKSI-RPLL route with Korean on a 737 though (it was essentially a holiday extra).
The people in ATC speaking English as their second language did a good job, i could understand enough of what they said. Doesn't mean i could fly where they want me, but id understand. 😀👍
The number reading is in aviation standard not in regular mandarin way. They read 7 as Guai (aviation standard) not Qi (daily conversation) much like nine and niner

Thank you for sharing this video, I'm current flying in a chinese airline, with this video you just reminder me how I was feeling during my training when I arrived to this beautiful airspace 😊
Exactly what I needed this morning. Something about your voice and all the lil' fiddly details you highlight so nicely took the edge off my migraine. That, or it's the Tylenol and coffee. Nah... soothing readbacks for the win.
BTW you don't need to use the Salty Sim 747-8. After the AAU2 the default 747 is equivalent (if not better). Also, salute to the poor Air China pilot involved in the legendary "Negative, Get Your Hands Off Of Air China" incident. Also, maybe worth turning on the meters display on the PFD next time lol.
Groundpound69 I love you shit man. You have actually made me take an interest in total realism flight sims. I suck at the moment but I'm getting better. My goal is to do a full blown complete flight like this one, atc and all. I'll check back in a decade with a progress report.
This was one of my favorite episodes. I really enjoyed the professional approach taken by everyone and a sense of pride. Most importantly, that smooth-as landing.
Glad to see you are still making funny and informative content!! I had thought u were done after 2021-2022. Glad i was wrong! The YT Shorts of irl ATC situations made me think of you and now its brought me back
His Chinese passengers are much more quiet and polite than his American passengers with their fighting and profanity. Of course, the Chinese were screaming when he lost control, but that's understandable!
Just came back to london on a Qatar A380 and the back tail cam just looked epic. And here I am now watching this video. I am fascinated by such machines and always wanted to try playing the game but I feel like it is very complicated. Maybe I should try it now haha
Not sure if the default 747 has it, but a lot of Boeing aircraft have a button you can press next to the QNH/altimeter knob to display meters on the PFD for your altitude
Very cool video. I learned from the black box down podcast that English is the universal language of air traffic. Neat that the controllers upheld that.
11:29 tip: on the heading control knob, there is a “bank angle” selector. You can use that to restrict how much the auto-pilot will bank the aircraft to maintain a selected heading. I like to set it to “5” in cruise to prevent exactly that from happening.
11:24 inside the range knob, there’s a black button which says TFC. On an actual aircraft it clicks. If you are able to press it you’ll see Range rings and traffic on your ND
