    Hey joe. Back in June last year, I was traveling to Norway through Singapore. I was taking photos of planes from the terminal and I saw this exact aircraft, D-AIXG. Kinda lucky that you used this A359 out of the 22 Lufthansa has. I want to be a pilot and your videos inspire me. Keep making more!

      I have a friend who did something similar. He actually has a clip for his glasses when he's walking for the inspections that he uses. It flips down and up so he can just flip it down and it magnifies a ton in where ne needs It. It also moved forward and backward slightly for focusing if he needs too. One of his friends actually 3d printed them for him and he bought lenses online to add to the clips.

But since the Captain has ultimate responsibility for their aircraft, it is only natural that they perform the last check to confirm everything is in order. It's both an assurance that a verification is performed by the person entrusted with the safety of the souls on board, and a reminder for the Captain that they should care just as much about piloting the plane than about the physical soundness of the aircraft; both of which being equally required for a safe flight.

    Hint using cowls for wind determination is highly extraordinary!! By the way, we have to determine wind even prior to start-up. I fly twin-engine helicopter, and its flight manual requires to start up engine on downwind side first. because if you made the other way around, second started engine may suck hot gases from running engine and it may lose revolutions consequently.
    So prior to start-up I prefer to determine wind direction with face skin, absolutely if there is no any different means to find wind out. Because face skin is much more sensitive in comparison with other parts of body.

      They are either stored in the cockpit or on some planes behind one of the access doors.
      If they are stored in the cockpit, 1 ground crew member simply goes up, takes them Out and attaches them. If the are kept in the fuselage behind the access door, the quick releases are pushed open, the locking pins or sleeves, depending on the aircraft, are taken out and put into place.

    Excellent video, thank you, Joe! I wonder why the left/right cockpit window wipers seem to be different models?

    Very cool! I've seen an instructional video of an A340-300 walkaround before so I can definitely expect what will happen even before I watch this.

    This are a lot points to consider. I'm surprised: didn't expect this much. Massive respect for the professional airmanship détails.
    Isn't there a checklist? Are these "memory items"?
