@volcom1722 Not correct. The gear is put down when you are on the ILS glideslope passing 2000 ft above the ground. Only in cases when you are too high and you need extra drag, you can put the gear down earlier. In all other cases it is a waste of fuel if you put the gear down at 5000 ft as you are doing in FSX
@Writahman. In the cockpit an electric motor operates, at main gear touchdown, automatically a handle which operates the spoilers on the wings and that's the noise you hear.
@FF35Pilot. During cruise Mach .85. During approach depends on the weight of the aircraft. At max ldg weight (285 tons) it is about 155 kts with flaps 30.
Wow, weer een mooie film, bedankt dat je dat met ons deelt, Sured! Wow, great video! Probably the best cockpit view video's are from your hand! thx, Nicole (Everything)
@SuredT i guess we are expect to put down the landing gear when the glideslope indicator is just 1 dot above the required height. does that happen at 2000 feet AGL??
How do you decide which taxi exit to take off the runway once you've landed? Is it a case of taking the next one when you've slowed down enough, or is it prescribed? Great videos btx, thanks!
@sam9524 Yes it is. An ILS approach isn't the same thing as an automated landing. ILS is a NAV-aid to land the aircraft which can be connected to the autopilot/flight directors for an autoland. However you can also tune the nav radios for an ILS approach and fly the airplane manually. (you hand-fly the plane, but you get localizer and glideslope information from the Instrument Landing System.)
@SuredT This is a general question - I regularly get to watch aircraft approach on 27L/27R at Heathrow because I work under the approach. I sometimes see a B747 with gear already down when it passes over us (approx 7 - 8 miles from touchdown) but more often the gear is up - I'm guessing 2000ft RA is usually approximately 6 miles from touchdown? Would the reason for early deployment be likely to assist with slowing the aircraft at ATC request? Thanks.
Hi. I was wondering what kind of approach speed a 747 needs. I'm currently doing a flight from Heathrow to Johannessburg in a 747 and wonder what kind of speed is hould use for approach and cruise speed??
Wicked amazing. Your videos are truly one of a kind! Especially since you take the time to mount the camera so it's not shaking all over! I bet GoPro would be willing to give you one of their HD mini cams if you put their logo at the end or something. And they would be easily mountable while able to shoot in 1080! Just a thought.
Hi! it's very nice to see that you put on new video's on youtube!!. Your'e vids are just the best!!!! so keep on going. klm is de beste. ik ga dit jaar naar Malaysia vliegen. heb je misschien enig idee welk vliegtuig ze op deze route gebruiken? 747/777?.
@avengedNOOB. How about you get landing permission at 500 ft because the preceding aircraft is late in clearing the runway? Then there is no sufficient time left for letting the gear down. Besides there is something called a stabilized approach. That means you have to be stabilized in speed and power and no more configuration changes from at least 1000 ft AGL.
I envy you, SuredT. :) Sincerely. Since the earliest childhood I saw myself a pilot, but my eyesight got poor, and in my the then country - xUSSR - you got to be a perfectly healthy robot to crew an airplane. Not like in the Western world where I can see every other Boeing pilot wearing glasses. Thank you, I travel with you all over the world. Now Almaty 05, now - Amsterdam 06. Great.
what is it that the copilot says after landing?90....60....40...is it the distance from the taxiway through which the plane is supposed to exit the runway???
Another great video from you. Would it be possible in your next video to include the taxi to the gate? If the video gets too long you can just play it with 2x or 4x speed.
this great to see it one time from the other side. normaly i drive there on the A4 to Amsterdam(exit Alsmeer just before the runway) thanks for uploading 5 stars
Hello SuredT....I wondered what that short high pitch noise was....the noise we hear just before the plane touches the tarmac....It sounds like a motor of some sort.
Hi. I was wondering what kind of approach speed a 747 needs. I'm currently doing a flight from Heathrow to Johannessburg in a 747 and wonder what kind of speed is hould use for approach and cruise speed?? In FS2009 of course. Wouldn't be able to fly a 747 in real obviously :/
@beatlesvickz Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust or changing of propeller pitch so that the thrust produced is directed forward, rather than aft. This acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reversers are used by many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing distances.
excellent landing in all ur vids, show us ur not so good landings too, like bad weather conditions, missed approaches,...i love the 747...ur engines are the G.E. or the Rolls ???
BEST LANDING EVAR!!! ik dacht even, aangezien bijna al uw video's van KLM zijn, dat u nederlands bent, bent u zelf piloot? en zo ja, mag ik u dan wat vragen stellen, ik zit in HAVO 3 en wil graag verkeersvlieger worden, ik zat te denken aan Stella Aviation Academy, door de job-garantie.
Why idle reverse ? noise abatement ? what do you use for filming ? very good, steady pic ! I´m an A320 driver in Brasil....lived in Ijmuiden long time ago....Kyle.
Thats exactly why the deceleration was so long! The deceleration distance is influenced by the weight of the aircraft, the heavier it is, the longer it will take for it to stop; because it needs more force to stop it. Exactly the same way a truck will brake on a longer distance than a small car :)
which school is the to learn in the Netherlands to become a pilot? And how difficult is it to learn *natuurkunde* besides the normal lessons. Because im very interested in becoming a pilot but I didnt do an exam in *natuurkunde*. You can answer in Dutch if you like:)!
Is this your landing after your KJFK Take-off from previous video? If it is, that was must be a long exhausting fly, doesn't it? And you still make this video for shared w/ us here in RUclips!! Thks a lot capt. SuredT!!
@ mmaaxx EHAM is the Icao code for Schiphol and is never changed. EGLL is for Heathrow while EDDF is for Dusseldorf for example. Its a system pilots and flight management systems are using. The code AMS is used more for passengers and booking systems. Great video! Why you don't film the parking part to? I always like it to see other aircraft to ;-) Keep them comming.
KLM is IMO the best european Airline. Lufthansa has exactly the same service, but they cost more. And the best thing to hear on a flight is: "Flight attendants, take yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr seats!"
@fishis14 ATC gives a stand number followed by directions e.g. stand 104 via A3, M, N3, W1. The airport has signs with taxiway designations, you follow the signs with the numbers/letters ATC gave you.
@jm431 decision height. You either say 'landing' if you are going to land or 'breaking off/going around' (something like that,not sure about 2nd part) basically, decide whether to land or not.
747 captains have worked their entire lives to achieve the seniority required for the job. It's the highest level (both paid and prestige) for commercial piloting (with respect to the sorely missed Concorde). What do you think?
very true, but landings always seem smoother from the flight deck than in the rest of the cabin, and in general the 747 has the softest landings. but im sure you know that : )
@volcom1722 Not correct. The gear is put down when you are on the ILS glideslope passing 2000 ft above the ground. Only in cases when you are too high and you need extra drag, you can put the gear down earlier. In all other cases it is a waste of fuel if you put the gear down at 5000 ft as you are doing in FSX
Great to see you back posting these great clips again, thanks for sharing them with us.
You make it look so simple to fly...amazing!
@Writahman. In the cockpit an electric motor operates, at main gear touchdown, automatically a handle which operates the spoilers on the wings and that's the noise you hear.
I would never noticed when did you touched down if i didn't hear speed break lever extended!! Very nice accurate smooth landing!! Great job Capt!!
Thanks for sharing Sured T. Looking forward for more!!
@FF35Pilot. During cruise Mach .85. During approach depends on the weight of the aircraft. At max ldg weight (285 tons) it is about 155 kts with flaps 30.
Mooie video zo. Leuk om afslag Aalsmeer zo te zien. Deze neem ik elke dag als ik ga werken.....
Wereldbaan hebben jullie toch....
Wow, weer een mooie film, bedankt dat je dat met ons deelt, Sured!
Wow, great video! Probably the best cockpit view video's are from your hand!
thx, Nicole (Everything)
You make flying look so easy... Great Job !
The shadow of the aircraft at the end is cool. The beautiful Boeing 747~~~
@amccall999. Yes. And also when you have the gear down you can select more flaps and fly even slower if so requested by ATC (air traffic control).
how many hrs SFO to Shiphol? last time i connected at JFK
Sweet! Thanks a lot. Keep 'em coming. I could watch these videos for days.
Nice one. Fine to know you're back filming those nice landings.
@SuredT i guess we are expect to put down the landing gear when the glideslope indicator is just 1 dot above the required height. does that happen at 2000 feet AGL??
How do you decide which taxi exit to take off the runway once you've landed? Is it a case of taking the next one when you've slowed down enough, or is it prescribed?
Great videos btx, thanks!
@Rafal102able. Sometimes you need the extra drag to get down more quickly in case you were kept high by ATC.
simply amazing.... Flight makes from sky the most beautiful place on Earth... am I right or no?
Sneller of wat roept ie?
Geweldig SuredT echt dankjewel voor het uploaden al die video's ik hoop dat ik ook piloot word.
@sam9524 Yes it is. An ILS approach isn't the same thing as an automated landing. ILS is a NAV-aid to land the aircraft which can be connected to the autopilot/flight directors for an autoland.

(you hand-fly the plane, but you get localizer and glideslope information from the Instrument Landing System.)
@SuredT can i approach with speed 170 knots?
Where you decide to put the gear down ?
where you are below 1000 feet or where you see the runway?
Great video! i have one question, when you program the FMC you have route already in database, or you have to enter it manualy? :) thanks!
Excellent video as usual, captain. Thank you for sharing!

Haha, daar sta ik altijd te spotten! links van 06 en aan het begin. Misschien heb ik deze wel gezien......
Weer een mooie video!
great landing captain,good to see you back
Nice landing, I think im going to fly more with KLM

Hi, i was wondering if most pilots most often land manually or auto land?
Thanks
Hi! it's very nice to see that you put on new video's on youtube!!. Your'e vids are just the best!!!! so keep on going. klm is de beste. ik ga dit jaar naar Malaysia vliegen. heb je misschien enig idee welk vliegtuig ze op deze route gebruiken? 747/777?.
Always enjoy your vids. Almost like being there!
How many kts is the taxispeed?
@ SuredT... What if you were landing with a full payload and about 20 percent fuel?
@SuredT WHat airplanes have you flown before the 747?
@Rafal102able. M.86 only when we have to make up time for connections etc.
wow thanks
It's cool to see the landing from this view instead of a windows place above row 40
great as always dude! Keep up the great work and thanks for uploading!
i love your videos.hope to see at least every week a new one :D
@avengedNOOB. How about you get landing permission at 500 ft because the preceding aircraft is late in clearing the runway? Then there is no sufficient time left for letting the gear down.

Nice nice :)
KLM from New York...nice flight....canarsie climb is so nice...nice landing :)

what is it that the copilot says after landing?90....60....40...is it the distance from the taxiway through which the plane is supposed to exit the runway???
What do you do in the middle of the flight? I have always wanted to be a pilot when I am older!
@scrablet I could answer this question for SuredT. A plane is never about to stall before touchdown. The flare is just for the smooth touchdown.
Thank you again Sir SuredT. That looked smooth as you like :o)
How come you stopped uploading on this channel?
Another great video from you. Would it be possible in your next video to include the taxi to the gate? If the video gets too long you can just play it with 2x or 4x speed.
this great to see it one time from the other side.

Jaa, ik zat al te wachten op een nieuwe. Hij is weer gaaf!
Hello SuredT....I wondered what that short high pitch noise was....the noise we hear just before the plane touches the tarmac....It sounds like a motor of some sort.
nice weather??
do you have any tips for someone who is in high school who wants to become a pilot
Two videos in one week? THAT'S AMAZING! Is this the return flight from KJFK?

Start flying now!
I'm also in high school, & I haven't started flying yet.
This plane seems to be very heavy, Why was the braking distance so long???

In all your videos you have greased this plane like crazy. Do you just happen to record these landings or do you just have that feel for the queen
Great job captain!! Thumbs all the way up for this!!
nice landing on the Kaagbaan!
amazing. glad your posting more
Excellent video. You always amaze!
Yet another amazing video! I have only one subscription, and its SuredT. A long wait, but well worth it as always.
BEST LANDING EVAR!!!

Waar kwam deze vlucht eigenlijk vandaan?
Erg mooi om te zien. :]

Keep them comming.
how do you know where to taxi??
oustanding videos sured. Love every single one of them, and thanks for patiently putting up with the noob fsx user questions :)
do you only fly 747s?
You just made my day!
Keep up the good work!
KLM is IMO the best european Airline. Lufthansa has exactly the same service, but they cost more. And the best thing to hear on a flight is: "Flight attendants, take yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr seats!"
put up the volume at 3:27. You'll hear 121. 7 that's the ground freq
Yes, i saw you flying over the N201
Cool! I would love to fly this plane one of my fav 5/5
IS it me, or where you flying very fast here?
@LDons22 Yep. Not so long, only 7 hrs or so.
@fishis14 ATC gives a stand number followed by directions e.g. stand 104 via A3, M, N3, W1. The airport has signs with taxiway designations, you follow the signs with the numbers/letters ATC gave you.
@jm431 decision height. You either say 'landing' if you are going to land or 'breaking off/going around' (something like that,not sure about 2nd part)

why don't they contact ground? and request taxi to the gate?

perfect landing as usual !
very true, but landings always seem smoother from the flight deck than in the rest of the cabin, and in general the 747 has the softest landings. but im sure you know that : )
your best landing but why dont you trying making a viv with instrument and whole cockpit view it would be great plzzzzzzz :D
@SuredT True! "Gear down" was the moment the G/S was captured!
Very smooth landing and deceleration!
Nice landing.
