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!
When my friend moved up to piloting commercial jets, he invested in a pair of mini binoculars to help him check all of the sensors. His captain saw what he was doing and he also invested in a pair on mini binos to help with his inspections.
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.
@@PrograError I'm guessing spotter lenses would only be able to focus on much more distant objects and have too much magnification? Unless there are some very weak ones I guess?
@@Sterlingjob when you are out there and the sun is being reflected from all that white, it disrupts your vision hindering accurate inspections. It also helps when you are only 5 feet high!
I've never seen a pilot do a walkaround with noise cancelling headphones rather than ear defenders but it makes quite a lot of sense really! Insightful video as always!
Lovely. It’s interesting to see all the additional probes, cameras and antennas on a modern day aircraft as compared to the older ones! Thanks for this Capt. Joe!
Captain Joe, Thanks for all the knowledge you have given me! You put a smile on my face with every upload, knowing that I will learn something new! Wish you all the best!🛫
Hi captain Joe and captain Thomas! Captain Thomas, you were my captain on the flight MUC-HKG on the 28th January 2013, my first long haul flight on the A340-600 D-AIHM, first flight in a widebody. I remember visiting your cockpit and taking a lovely photo with you. I would like to thank you again for the visit, showing me the instruments etc! Capt joe, please forward this message to him! Thanks!
I love Munich airport! They were the most friendly and helpful people in the world. It was my first international flight at the time I went and I was having trouble finding my way. They really took time to help me out. They even walked me over to where I was having issues finding which was unheard of. I didn't even ask them to. They just said sure thing follow me, I'll get you there :) Great people and such an amazing and beautiful country!
@@VEE727 Definitely the ground crew will do all of this as well. 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.
@@jonathanvanier it isint necessarily a "Captain" only duty to do the walkaround. PM aka Pilot Monitoring does the walk around which can also be the First Officer. In this particular case, the Captain happens to be the PM, which would mean the First Officer is PF (pilot flying) for this sector.
This was the first aircraft that went in that was an international flight. I had the best experience in the a350 out of any flight in my life with Lufthansa. The aircraft has a great place in my heart and it is my favorite aircraft of all time. I plan to pilot this plane in the future! This was a nice walkthrough of the plane.
Das war sehr interessant und professionell dargestellt und erklärt. Ich hatte nicht erwartet, dass das Flugzeug so viele Sensoren, Öffnungen, Antennen, usw. hat, und Piloten bei Rundgang auf so vieles achten müssen.
Damn the 350 is a MASSIVE plane! I see them flying overhead every day but the fact that a person can hust walk under the fuselage with headroom just gives the right perspective!
HE LIVES! ✈️ I just bought your book and I love it! I’ve implemented several of the checklists so far and they’ve really helped me manage my days better and be more productive
Prettiest plane in the sky in my opinion! Question: if you come across something quite simple to put right, for example, a hatch isn't closed or the camera lens is a little dirty, can you fix that as you go, or does every issue need to be reported and fixed by ground crew/maintenance?
Really interesting video! There's an impressive amount of equipment to check on these walk arounds. Kudos to your editor for the professional labels and graphics! It really made it easy to identify what Joe was talking about.
Thanks Joe that was fantastic I love the walk around video,s I worked at Adelaide Airport for 3 year driving Airside BUSES and refueling DIESEL ground equipment so I got up close to a variety of planes my most mind blowing was the 747 freighters their size isn't appreciated until your close up to it ,so for an Aviation Nerd this was my best time ,but I don't need to tell you this is your daily life and I'm envious thanks again mate any jet walk around or flight deck content is the best Cheers Kym Adelaide
What a privilege to watch a video of this quality for free 😁 a walkaround with a Lufthansa fleet captain, voiced by Joe, it doesn’t get any cooler than that.
Great video Captain Joe! Captain Thomas is so cool , always smiling! He was really enjoying being in this video! Nice touch also with the Your Checklist at 15:05!
The A350/1000 what a beautiful aircraft it was such a privilege to fly in it I flew with virgin atlantic I think they are a world class airline. 🛩 i should mention thanks to the guys at lufthansa for this informative video thanks guys keep up the good work by keeping passengers and all the flight crew safe ✈
Very interesting! Thanks all good captains for keeping us safe. I have a question: the landing gears have safety pins that need to be removed. Where are they kept/stored once removed and how does the ground crew at the next airport get them when needed?
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.
@@CerberusTenshi Thanks! So this is a fixed location specific to aircraft type and/or carrier procedures, I assume. Is making sure they are stowed away correctly part of any checklist or other protocol?
As someone who used to work on the a350 it was nice when it cold outside to hide under the pack outlet bc it was like 200 degrees f. Also it makes more sense what you are looking for now when they were doing the walk around during the loading process
I’m flying from Texas to New York next week and will be on this same type of plane. I have a fear of flying so I’ll make a checklist based on this video and perform my own pre-flight check. lol
Vielen lieben Dank fürs Video, Joe! Und herzlichen Dank für die Unterstützung von Lufthansa und Cpt. Thomas. Es war wirklich schön noch ein Video von Dir zu sehen! Ich hoffe, dass wir mehr davon dieses Jahr mit der selben höchsten Qualität zuschauen können.
Last year flew with my family on such a plane to the Seychelles from Moscow. Extra comfortable plane for the long flight. Really love it, especially business-class suit.
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.
When looking at the A350 from the front, it is the most beautiful aircraft with the Hawk-eyes and wings spreading out... I have not yet have had the opportunity to fly with with this baby.
Good to see that the pilot did not kick the tires which is a completely useless habit ! This check is much more comprehensive than others seen on other channels. Is it because it was after a long maintenance stop, or just an example of the high level of Lufthansa's procedures ?
Nice video Joe 😎🧑✈️🧑✈️ Pre Departure walk around is one of the Most nice moments because that's when you will Feel your Flying Vibes 💯 coming on, the way you wear the safety vest, Protective Earpods and glasses
I didn't realize there are so many cameras on the exterior of a plane. It would be nice to see an episode on how the pilots use them in the cockpit. Thanks for the informative videos.
@@SJF15 That has 2 reasons. 1. Ground time for Ryanair is super short. 30 minutes. 2. A 737 does not have as many sensors, vents, etc. as the A350. It shouldn't be rushed though, granted. But people want to fly cheap. Time on the ground costs money. A lot of money. So, you get what you pay for.
Thanks next time when I will be boarding, of course as a passenger,I would be doing myself a limited visual check of the aircraft as tutored by this captain.
Very interesting video Captain Joe! I would like to ask which is the most common problems and failures found in ground check and seems like checks are done in visual but do you ever use any devices to check some values or data / have other pilot changing parameters and captain confirming the action outside?
The name of this specific airplane it’s Mannheim 4:04 (yes like the city) if you’re going to fly with LH search for that name and you will know if you’re flying on this one in the video.
The A350-900 and 1000 are awesome twin engine heavy aircraft. Aren’t they? Your awesome yourself Joe! I always watch your videos explaining different parts of the plane so I’m ready to fly on a passenger jetliner again after a decade and a half. The only largest aircraft I’ve flown is a 767-300. And an A300-600 before conversion to cargo aircraft. The more common aircraft I’ve flown are 737, A320, MD-80, 757. And the smallest for me the Embraer ERJ-145. US airlines I’ve flown are Delta, Continental (before United merger), American Airlines, US Airways (before merger with American Airways), Allegiant Air (before MD-80 retirement), and more commonly (because of how cheap they are) Southwest Airlines. I’m waiting and raring to fly JetBlue Airways next.
Thanks. That was amazing. Also thanks to Lufthansa, to let you do this recording. 👍 Could you please make more videos about all the details of those checked points? What are they for, how do they work and so on?
I am suprised how many items there are to keep in mind for this alone. Also, I wouldn't have thought that the engines are so low to the ground on such a large aircraft. Thanks, that was quite interesting! Last but not least, I recognized over the last year or so, that you seem to like the A350 very much. Can we expect you to be switching to Lufthansa to fly one of those maybe? Of course, you probably can't answer that, but I wanted to ask anyway :)
As engine sizes keep getting bigger and bigger while landing gears don't get longer for obvious reasons, engines do come very close to the ground. Also, maintenance crews still have to be able to reach crucial access panels. Just think about the GE9X, an engine with a diameter bigger than a 737 fuselage. On the same note, the 737 engines are squared off at the bottom for that reason. If they were round like on other planes, they would hit the ground.

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!
When my friend moved up to piloting commercial jets, he invested in a pair of mini binoculars to help him check all of the sensors. His captain saw what he was doing and he also invested in a pair on mini binos to help with his inspections.
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.
I wonder a spotter lens like those for sniper operations would have been better... it's a lot more compact
@@PrograError I'm guessing spotter lenses would only be able to focus on much more distant objects and have too much magnification? Unless there are some very weak ones I guess?
The inspection is a general visual, there’s no need to inspect every part so closely.
@@Sterlingjob when you are out there and the sun is being reflected from all that white, it disrupts your vision hindering accurate inspections. It also helps when you are only 5 feet high!
I've never seen a pilot do a walkaround with noise cancelling headphones rather than ear defenders but it makes quite a lot of sense really! Insightful video as always!
Lovely. It’s interesting to see all the additional probes, cameras and antennas on a modern day aircraft as compared to the older ones! Thanks for this Capt. Joe!

I'm always amazed that the outside check is performed without some form of checklist in hand.
You should have to know your aircraft
I'm surprised pilots do this. I thought this is more of a ground staff tech person's job

Sir your videos are so addictive. I keep on seeing videos after others. Thank you sir so much.
LH 458 - been there in the back (and on the inbound leg from SFO) many times! Great to see the action behind the scenes. Ein Herz für München.
This is so satisfying to watch , almost like an ASMR video of a plane check
As a 350 training pilot, I think this video should be embedded to AIRBUS ACE program absolutely. 🥰
Thank you Captain Joe and Thomas!

sexiest airplane on the planet. 787 is sweet, but this one is off the charts.

It is just an incredibly beautiful aircraft. I have flown on a -8 and must say that is the best aircraft I have flown on so far
Thomas seems like such a great guy and pilot. Great video although i was too astound by the size of them engines on that beauty of a A350
The drain mast at 11:45 is a grey water drain, if there is water coming out, that’s normal drainage from the galley and wash basins.
I flew on Delta to South Africa on a A350-900, it was a very comfortable ride.

Es más complicado de lo que hubiese pensado, si bien es cierto es una inspección visual, son muchos los detalles a observar.
Great video, Lufthansa one of the best airliners.
It’s also good to look for exposed strut to make sure they are serviced correctly
Thanks Thomas, thanks Joe! I had no idea there were that many things being looked at during a walk around.
Just watch Ryanair pilots do it, they literally run around the aircraft, I actually saw one trip over the towbar as he was rushing so much.
@@SJF15 That has 2 reasons.
1. Ground time for Ryanair is super short. 30 minutes.
2. A 737 does not have as many sensors, vents, etc. as the A350.

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.
