    Just to clarify that we have totally different way of communication in China (like aviation English versus aviation Chinese) so that captain in the middle is translating ATC commands for other captains so that they can focus on flying. Not that they can’t understand or read English or anything, cause all the checklists and manuals are probably written in English.

    • @fatrat6988
      @fatrat6988 9 месяцев назад +1

      You are absolutely wrong. There are 6 pilots because this is the first ever flight flown by air China on the 748, and they most likely wanted the most amount of eyes to watch for anything that goes wrong(though I highly disagree with this philosophy). Also, 3 pilots aren’t needed at a time for a flight, only 2. Not to mention in a 12 hour flight, 3 pilots are usually enough. For flights that are say 16 hours, 4 pilots are needed. Never does a flight need more than 4.

  • @ZhaoxinXue
    @ZhaoxinXue 4 года назад +14

    Apparently they do understand English. The pilot in the right seat react to ATC commands every time before the radio pilot say anything.
    The pilots flying are the chief pilots of Air China 747 division. They were ex-air force pilots and their spoken English is not too good. Hence there's someone younger there. Plus, they are the boss and they can ask any pilot to be their radio operator if they don't want to speak.
    There's a hater in the comment posting multiple times saying it's scary. What a racist.

      @wtvideos3205 Год назад

      Yes I agree. If they are experienced in flying international routes it's unlikely the flying pilots don't know any English.. but they may not be very fluent or comfortable in responding, and may worry they misunderstand or don't hear something correctly, so the translating pilot who is obviously fluent and comfortable in english is there to to handle the communication and he confirms what the flying pilots thought they heard ATC say.

    you can see how stable the wheel,few move can do the landing.you do not need to move the wheel all the time, most time is not necessary.We (pilot)all know this,but hard to do it. Apparently these guys is top pilots.

    If they fly international routes it's unlikely any of these captains don't know any aviation english.. but may not be fluent or comfortable in responding to ATC very easily, so it's still better to have someone who is comfortable and fluent to handle the actual communication. The pilots flying probably have caught most of the instructions and the translating pilot is then confirming what they thought they heard, but with him there they are much more sure of the communication. If the flying pilots knew no english whatsoever they wouldn't even know which buttons to select on the flight computers

    This is a unique video, having a dedicated comms pilot frees up the 2 pilots in the front seats. The pilot in the left seat is hand flying the plane above the clouds which I've never seen on any other airline delivery flight. Sure it wastes more fuel and I don't know if western airlines do this on their first new aircraft type delivery flight. But I certainly think it should be done.

    • @Hk-uw8my
