- Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden vocalist), is taken for a demo ride of the A320 for a Discovery Channel documentary. Bruce shows off the computerized FLCS of the aircraft and how these protect the aircraft from control errors.
bruce is real legend. a rock star who never destroyed himself with drugs or alcohol. he is very clever and talented person. a man like him is born at every 500 years.
up the irons, bruce for life!!!
You like then? 😂
Bruce is officially one of the most interesting men
+English DO You speak it? Replacement candidate for "The Most Interesting Man in the World"
I started listening to Iron maiden during the end of my initial pilot training, made all the difference.
Definitely♡
He’s a genius
Epic bruce
Bruce has such a good narrating voice, he should make more shows like this.
Doing the research for this show was one of my first jobs in TV. This clip brings back good memories. Bruce is the nicest, easiest guy in the world to work with. You'd never guess he was a mega star.
He is not only a megastar he is a human beeing
Yeah I think all the guys in Maiden kept their feet on the ground.
Bad choice of words for Bruce I just realized, hah!
Wow! Just when I thought I couldn’t love Bruce anymore, then I see this❤️ Ur so lucky you got to work with him, what a thrill!
Met him at the Crobar in London where he used to frequent with a couple of the other Maiden guys. Absolute diamond of a bloke. Lead singer of one of the greatest bands in history, a qualified airline pilot, international standard fencer, and STILL a lovely human. There's a lot of 'celebs' these days with less than 0.5% of that talent and achievement that could learn a hell of a lot from his example.
"I'm a Boeing man, but there is only one way to describe that flight. That was F***** Awesome!"
"However, there is one condition that it hasn't encountered yet, and this could be perhaps its most severe test - ME."
I died
A jack of all trades, truly an universal man.
Bruce Dickinson; rock star, airline pilot, international class fencer, author, TV show host.
Quite possibly the most awesome man alive?
Dickinson is not only one of the greatest singers of all times, he's very intelligent, eloquent and very skillful in many many things!!! We love him, don't we!!! :)))
3 2 0!!!!!!! THE NUMBER OF THE PLANE!!!!!!!!!
Britton Kirkland saaaacrfice is going on tonight :P
+JetMechMA it's a reference to the Iron Maiden song "The Number of the Beast"
+JetMechMA It's an airbus 320
:D
5 years later. Looongggg haul flight, is going on tonight!
I remember seeing this as a kid, and I've always thought this was Steve Irwin..but damn, it's actually Bruce Dickinson....
+KKOPPI
They don't even look or sound alike..
+shallowlord They have the same enthusiasm about their chosen professions.
Bruce has the most remarkable and definitely the best singing voice in heavy metal history!
EXCELLENCE
After all, it is French! What a fine Brit humor, Bruce! Up the Irons..
While many rock stars spent the 80's binge drinking and destroying hotels, Bruce Dickinson was busy becoming an airline pilot in his spare time.
I completely admire this man, hmp rocker, singer, Jet pilot, entertainer, show man, entepreneur, etc...and just I am a CH750 aircraft student.
GET WELL SOON, BRUCE!!
Yeah, my two favorite things: HEAVY METAL AND AIRPLANES YEAHHHHHH!!
UP THE IRONS!!!
And now he is flying a 747 \m/
+Scott Davey Is he? i really would like to see him testing the jumbo.. pilots say she flyes wonderfully sweet
sparrowlt yeah he is.Bruce is flying the band in a 747 around the world on their latest tour.I will be seeing Maiden on monday.I don't know if you are a Maiden fan but that is what is happening
+Scott Davey Top Rock Star **and** an airplane pilot. Tell me about realising one's kid's dreams
+Mauro Rezende he is definitely living his dreams 🤘
sex, drugs and avionics
ACES HIGH!!!!!!
ROLLING
TURNING
DIVING
Do it again!
Bruce is awesome.
Who wouldn't love to hear this announcement on a commercial jet, "Scream For Me! This is your Captain, Bruce Dickinson!" At that point, every Iron Maiden fan would go absolutely crazy! Best flight ever!
That's exactly what he did say on this flight.
ruclips.net/video/YBGdmxhN6nY/видео.html
He can sing and fly a plane. Blimey is this guy talented, plus he at fencing too.
Brilliant stuff. I watch Flying Heavy Metal whenever it's on Sky. Bruce Dickinson is very enjoyable. Five stars. Go on!
Bruce really is an exceptional man. I remember when he first got his pilot's licence many years ago. They were interviewing him and asked how on earth he could manage all of it... touring, composing, fencing (he was one of the best in the UK), publishing books, and flying.
Anyway he was trained by B. Airlines and now employed with Astraeus. You may never fly with him but thats just you being biased. He is 100% qualified... they even trusted him to fly Rangers FC apparently.
"...rolling, turning, diving, doing it again!"
Being a famous metal frontman and able to pilot a jumbo jet is has got to be the coolest combination of anything i can think of! Bruce is a very cool guy!
hold the fuck up. is that the singer from iron maiden?
Yes, believe or not, that is true:)
Cheers...
PS. I know none other than him, from any bands in the world,who does this. Prove me wrong but anyway, pretty cool this is!
*****
I mean Bruce when he flies the plane.
BRUCE, PLEASE TAKE CARE, THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to point out the man in the blue shirt narrating and flying the jet is the lead singer for what is considered by some the best metal band ever
“Flying a video game”. Perfect description of an Airbus
I wonder if the irons have played a gig on the playing where bruce sings over the PA system, would be pretty metal playing a gig in a flying chunk of 'metal'.
Aces High or Tailgunner would be appropriate...
Bruce-proof plane! :D Woow....he's such amazing in everything he does!
That was "beep" awesome - pretty much sums up Bruce flying an aircraft in Bruce's way.
Bruce Dickinson is awesome. Rock singer. Fencer. Jet pilot. He's an all around well rounded guy, smart, and always entertaining.
Bruce can read me a bedtime story anytime. Such a lovely voice.
@Mare4586
It was "Flying heavy metal". Very good show. :)
Acesss hiiiiiiigh YOOW!
hes so humble! fricken love this guy!
The VC-10 is fly by wire only in the sense that control column position is transmitted to the control surfaces via electronic signals as opposed to hydraulics or steel wires. There is no computer (digital fly by wire) to modify pilot inputs.
How many singers metal rock country opera etc.have the ability to do what this man does.Amazing talent AND intelligence BRUCE DICKENSON!
The man's got balls of steel to fly and sing in front of thousands of people.
My kinda guy! I love aviation as much as I love heavy metal! :D
i love bruce voice... even when he is just talking =D... so lovely accent
Loved watching his programs.
And twelve years later I'm flying this bird. And liking it. Who would've guessed.
If you have something more from this series ...please upload more because this is fantastic ! Bruce rulezzz
@BringEllisTheHoriZon
The A320 was the first productional Fly-by-wire Airbus, but an A300 was used as the FBW testbed. The Beluga is a modified A300 without FBW.
i love that guy!! what a life he's lived
@yryteny I highly doubt that the air-to-air footage is from this actual flight with Bruce Dickinson.
It is most likely from a much earlier, actual test-flight with this aircraft, to evaluate the aircraft's performance from an air-to-air shot. If you look carefully, you can see different planes appear in the footage. At 3.44 an A320 appears with its name in large letters on its right side while the gear-down sequence shows a plane without these letters.
I do prefer the A319 if nothing else because they're fitted with A320 engines and haul serious ass on the runway because of it. I've never been pushed back so far in my seat in my life. Awesome!
The gear is always deployed when performing crazy test flights because it creates something called landing gear wake during landing and want to make sure that even the most extreme maneuvers, it doesn't affect the flight characteristics one bit.
rough runways are no match for the king air, its got an awesome power to weight ratio short take offs and landings for its weight cruises in the flight levels at a decent speed and has redundancies for every system, its truly an awesome aircraft
hehe, not anyone can say "MY b757"
Bruce has a mind that seems to have no limits.Genius but yet funny and down to earth.
up the irons! hail from germany you are the man!
A very talented individual. 2 mega careers..Great Rock singer and Commercial airline pilot. Damn...Some people only get one.
🔥🖤 Bruce Dickinson 🔥🖤✈️🛫🛬🤘
Is there anything this guy can’t do? What a star ⭐️❤️
The system is supposed to respond by pitching itself down, even at low altitude. The A320 that crashed at the airshow did exactly as Airbus intended to prevent a stall. yes, it still crashed, but due to the fact that the stall was in a recovery state, the decent rate wasn't as severe and hence why most survived the crash. AF 447 should have done the same. sure, the speed was unknown, but it recognised a stall and altitude, thus should have pitched down, even with pilot input. That's the point.
Humans should always have the last say over machines.
As of mid 2019 Boeing had to 737 Max 8 accidents caused by a very bad implementation of a subsystem called MCAS that dares to nose down the plane based on a single (possibly faulty) sensor aggressively under "manual" flight.
Pilots startled by the malfunction could not act timely to save the planes and the lifes of Indonesian Lion Air JT610 and Ethiopian ET302.
Who would imagine Boeing of all plane makers would be involved in accidents where pilots had difficulty overriding computers...
There was a way out with the "Runaway stabilizer" memory item, but pilots are not used to it nowadays, and a quick enough reaction time can't be taken as granted.
IMO AF447 and ET302 show the limits of automation, and the need to prepare pilots to an eventual handover of controls in a clumsy situation. Maybe the're rare events, but always challenging ones.
You tell me whats not to love about Brucey eh!.
tell me one reason to dislike this
it's amazing, watch their Somewhere In Time Tour! Bruce flies their whole crew around the world AND sings every second day
Paul d’ianno disliked.
@x87alpha1 youll have a high v/s when gear down to trigger the egpws.. you ll do the same in an emergency descent to get around 4000fpm
@demmylowther
Actually, he flies 757s for Astraeus, a British airline.
I was so scared when watching this on my computer.
Then again, i'm absolutely terrified of flying to begin with. :D
Oh my ... he sounds like the guy from Top Gear!!!
Richard Hammond?
@@shallowlord yeah, I think so. The accent is looks like Hammond
It's amazing that Airbus came up with the Fly by Wire mechanism. To SmallDude55, Boeing has their own plane with the flybywire mechanism in the B777 series. So therefore Boeing don't suck, they are beautiful aircraft as for the Airbus, both amazing aircraft manufacturers.
always good to hear mr dickinson talk about anything... UP THE IRONS!
The 40 dislikes were from Boeing employees
Yes, from what I understand. He was offered a chance to compete in the olympic fencing team, but at that time he was chosen to be Iron Maiden's lead vocalist. Iron Maiden were scheduled to start their tour. He made the decision to go on tour. I think he made a wise decision. I wonder if he ever wonders how his life would have been if he chose to go to the olympics instead. Well, I am glad he chose to Join Iron Maiden. It was the best decision he ever made, I think. Love him!
He is the singer in ''Iron Maiden''(The best band ever!)
I think Bruce sums it up perfectly "it's a bit like flying a computer game." Most Boeing-based pilots (after a few beers) will have a more colorful words to describe the A380's overrides..! The tray table is by far the highlight.
my fav 2 things in 1 place, iron maiden and an airbus a320,, lovely
Why isn't the rudder pedal included in the flight envelope computers? All parameters are included except the rudder pedal in which a pilot can cause catastrophic damage to the plane
@JUFFAIR101 yeah the Concorde was as well..... until July 25 2000
This guy is just incredible, he can do just about anything!!!
@LufthansaA343
Er fliegt im "normalen" Berufsleben eine 757 für Astraeus. Wenn er auf Tour geht nimmt er sich dafür Urlaub.
Dafür wird dann aber meist eine umlackierte 757 von Astraeus genutzt die Ed Force 1 genannt wird.
is there anything that the mighty Bruce can't do? Bruce, you're a legend buddy.
man where have you been?!?!? He is currently flying his boeing on iron maiden current tour. Screw those critics that say metal heads are losers.
Don't confuse FBW with autoflight. In an FBW system the computer is effectively replacing the old cable and hydraulic links between the controls and the flight surfaces - *not* the pilot. One thing Bruce doesn't mention is that the protections aren't just there to avoid mistakes, they're also to allow pilots to command the aircraft to its limits without worrying about exceeding the envelope and damaging the aircraft.
I remember fencing practice at University of Miami in the mid-1980s and Dickinson would take a break from recording in Nassau and come practice with us.
Love the A320 Series!
I want to know why the landing gear stayed extended the whole time.
@Speedbird103 no i hate when people argue over it and then say its usa v france when its not
A rock star for one of the most infuential bands of all time, and now a pilot. What a life. Where do I sign up?
And he’s also a very good narrator tho
So what happens if or when the electronics and computers fail? Does this plane have traditional mechanical systems as a back-up?
Bruce is a Champ !
What I always wondered with Airbus planes is: If e.g. the captain (left-side seat) is right-handed, he still has to operate the joystick and steer the plane with his left hand. People generally have less control and sensitivity in the hand that they don't normally use. Wouldn't this affect the pilot's ability to steer the plane in emergencies? In a Boeing plane, there's a central control wheel, operated with both hands, and symmetrically, so no difference between the pilot's and copilot's seats.
Is there anyone cooler than Bruce Dickinson? No. No, there isn't.
wow!
I've done this on the piper tomahawk
but a 60 degree bank on a A320!!! that's really amazing!!!
Who would thinks as an teenager that one of the kings of metal is an pilot. Now that's what makes Bruce Dickinson one of the most interesting men in the world.
Wow that's amazing to know, I love the airbus cockpits especially the a320. Did it take you long to get used to it though? Nice meeting you by the way........
3-2-0 the number of the beast... ? Grat Clip, thx for sharing it!
How can he fly this aircraft without a type rating on it? Sorry If this is a silly question
This is awesome! Is there more to this? UP THE IRONS!!!!!!
Bruce is the best!!!!! I love him!!!!!!!
Bruce, es historiador, escritor, piloto de boing, esgrimnista... Por dios te falta hacer milagros este si es un verdadero ejemplo de lo que debe ser un ser humano.
Bruce is like me, i love the planes and heavy metal
Bruce = LEGEND!
Crazy bank angle! Awesome plane
Really good...only, their vertical stabilizers have a habit of falling off if the pilot overuses the rudder pedal!
