In this year of uncertainty, these videos give me a boost, taking my mind off the outside worries for a time. love these videos, waiting that maybe one day you'll do a B-52 video, which would be totally awesome! Thanx!!
So interesting for a NON pilot…we sit in the seat and wonder what’s taking so long and not even giving it a little thought all the things that are being done in the cockpit to keep us safe…so much respect for all these professional pilots!!
This flight is a "special flight" because it has 2stage, a "normal" flight over U.S mainland, then 2nd leg which is Transoceanic over the pond to Dublin, we need to get Transoceanic clearance before proceeding over the pond,(north Atlantic,NATRACKs),before Halifax,GooseBay ,Gander .all these clearance are done through ACARS, a nonverbal communication. It's 6hours over pond with special ops clearance called ETOPS/EDTO, mid-diversion alternate at Keflavic, this clearance ends once you're 60mins flight time from land or an nominated airport, or destination. Happy Flying!
New admiration for the hostesses/hosts - essential for them to be keeping things cool in the cabin. The folks up front have shit to do and can't be distracted!
Damn, I miss my job. After 33 years with Continental/United I was forced to retire Sept. 1st. Not because of health or ability reasons but because I turned 65. My last flight as a 777 Captain was August 29, Seoul to San Francisco. and every day since it gets a little more depressing. It's scary how fast 33 years goes by when you love what you do. So be sure to take in and enjoy every minute of it, for before you know it it will all be over.
My son is 17 and getting his pilots license right now. I begged him to stay on the ground but he’s wanted to do this since he was 5 yrs old and I don’t think I could sway him to do any different. I tried tho. I sit and wait at the airport while he takes his lessons. He flies a drone for my business and saved up all the money to pay for these lessons himself. I’m very proud of him. I bet you do miss your job a lot.
@@matvei15 lol...Funny you asked that as it was my most stressful flight of my career. My first Captain flight was 23 years ago on a 737/800, Houston to Anchorage. I had completed my 25 hours of IOE, (Initial Operating Experience, the final check rides operating actual passenger flights with a Check Airman as my FO) just two days before. The IAH to ANC flight was a 757 flight, but a mechanical problem caused them to have to switch airplanes, but no other 757’s were available so they equipment substituted it to the 737/800. Problem was, that was really stretching the range of the 800. If upper level air temperatures and winds were good, and no in route weather deviations were needed AND the weather at ANC was good, the flight could be made and arrived at ANC with adequate reserve fuel, for which the absolute minimum was 4000 lbs. which just so happened to be the amount Saber, the company’s flight planning software, calculated I would arrive with. Everything seemed to be working out fine, up until it came time to climb to our final altitude of 36,000 ft. from 34,000. At 350 we entered an inversion layer and the OAT(outside air temp) shot up to ISA +15. We now could not safely make it to 360 and had to return to 340. And after doing the math it should we now would arrive with 3200 lbs, not 4000. Not only was it now illegal, but in the event I would have to do a go around it would have become an emergency to get priority to land. At the time we were about 45 minutes south of Seattle. I had my first officer call the company and explain the situation and told them we were landing in Seattle for fuel. The stressful part came in telling the passengers, who were already upset for being three hours late, that we now had to land in Seattle for fuel. lol.
@@MK-hz2bn yes, I miss it very much. And no, you will not be able to talk him out of it. This was all I ever wanted to do since I was three years old. I had planned to go into the Air Force after college, but thanks to Jimmy Carter and what he did to the Armed Forces that dream evaporated. So after college I got a job at Western geophysical as a systems analyst. It was a very good job and I hated it. After a few years I realized that if this was gonna be my life I would probably commit suicide. That thought frightened me so much that the next day I went down to a small airport by my house and signed up to take flying lessons. I got myself put on the night shift at work and took lessons during the day. After about a year and a half I had my Instrument rating, multi engine rating, commercial pilots license and Flight Instructors rating. I found a job in Tulsa has a flight instructor, quit my job at Western and packed up and moved to Tulsa. I spent the next 10 years working my way up through the general aviation world and finally, on May 11, 1987 I was hired at Continental Airlines and began my Airline career as a 727 Flight Engineer. please tell your son for me, to not let anything dissuade him from his dream, for that would be the one thing in his life he will regret forever. Actually I feel sorry for people who are happy when they have to retire. That means they have spent a lifetime doing something they didn’t enjoy. I certainly can’t say that, thank god.
I'll never understand how this world recognizes a pop star as an idol or inspiration, when individuals such as these two pilots are the real worthy idols!
@@jelliott8424 sounds like you're one of the ones not worthy. You miss my point and took the stance the world is forcing down everyone's throat.. that everyone is equal when they are not. I grew up in a time when you wanted to be the best not the participation trophy.. but hey congrats to you and whatever YOU do
@@jelliott8424 your replies are juvenile in deep thought if you think our worth isn't judged by everyone. I applaud you living such a life of blissful ignorance.
First, I’m a retired air traffic controller. In my day we were able to occasionally ride in the cockpit jump seat. In addition I’m a licensed private pilot. (Single-engine). This is one of the finest videos I’ve seen on what goes on in the cockpit. Fiona does an outstanding job explaining procedures prior to pushback. This crew, both Captain and First Officer show the coordination and professionalism we all want when flying.
Thank you, so much for your service, your career is so important, without air traffic control, planes wouldn't be able to fly, you are the human traffic lights for us in the sky,any mistake can be tragic, may God bless you all ,# Salute to all ATCS AND THE WHOLE FLIGHT CREW DOWN TO THE MAINTAINCE. It takes a village to fly😊❤❤❤
Love the dialogue between the 2 pilots, so respectful, intelligent and professional. Much respect for pilots and their knowledge, skill, attention to detail and nerves of steel. Thank you to all pilots for your dedication to perfection.!!
Well, it is a job that depends not only on deep knowledge but careful preparation. Those two know many lives depend on them performing at the highest level. I've watched too many crash videos, and I think SOME came from more casual approaches. This also is good PR for Aer Lingus. Wouldn't want to project a bad image.
The Professionalism of these two pilots makes me proud to be Irish and our flagship airline Are Lingus can be so proud of them. Loved the video. All in a day's work for these two wonderful people, I guess.
Love them or hate them Ryanair are one of the safest airlines in the world and have done more to put Irish aviation on the map than Aer Lingus ever will
I’m flying Aer Lingus from Dublin to Prague next week, just hearing how professional these guys are in the cockpit is settling the nerves of a nervous flyer. Also the lilting tones of the pilots’ accents is reassuring too.
Wow !! Fiona you are amazing!! Passengers have NO IDEA how much is actually happening in the cockpit!! You are all so amazing and professional. I am SO IMPRESSED!!
I worked as a cardiovascular perfusionist for 27+ years and it was the same thing. If you had an ‘off day’ it could mean a patient’s death. We operate the heart-lung machine for cardiac surgery.
"off day" -- yes, they can -- kinda/sorta! Before a pilot can even begin the preflight paper work in their office (yes, there's such a thing) each member of the crew has to sign and confirm that they are mentally and physically fit to work their schedule. During training they are ingrained with the idea that not being fit to work can mean immediate termination, and worst case, death. So, what happens if one or more crew members pull back for whatever reason? Believe it or not, every leg of a flight has standby crews ready to take over, if one or more members of a crew are in any way incapacitated.
@@HermannTheGreat thank you for your kind words. Most nurses that work in the cardiac operating rooms are pretty good and on top of things. I did that prior to perfusion school. Most docs were good, but some were very temperamental. I’m pretty easy going most of the time, but if the docs were doing something that put the patient in jeopardy, they would definitely hear about it. Most of them that I worked with knew that if I was complaining about something that there really was a situation developing and they paid attention. Of course there are those few that thought everything revolved around them. I’m glad that I’m out of the rat race now. More time for golf.
As someone who navigates a generalized anxiety disorder and who also gets anxious when flying, Fiona’s professionalism and overall brilliance gives me peace of soul. Thank you for this video! Makes me want to prioritize booking a flight on Aer Lingus to Dublin as soon as I can!!! Hope the crew are well and continue posting!
I love the excitment from Fiona when the two planes coming in are almost parlell and the male pilot whispering 'i know '😅 makes me proud to be irish watching theese two 😊🇮🇪
Personally, the best parts of flying are when the plane is running with full throttle on the runway and when the plane is about to touch-down on the runway. It gives me an adrenaline rush every time.
Agreed, no matter how many times you do it, takeoff is always a total rush! Although i rememeber leaving Nashville one stormy night and that was a rush not in a good way lol! Those scary times are when you appreciate the professionalism of these flight crews
Me too Kamkuert!! The Old Jumbo aircraft were MASSIVE and the engines at full throttle was amazing as the Jumbo needed a real good run. I thought it was never going to take off, then it just “heaved” itself off the runway. It actually brings me to tears at actual take off. Anyone else feel that way?
I had a client that was an ATC when I practiced law. One of the sharpest people I've ever met doing one of the most stressful jobs I can imagine. Vids like this help me understand why she was paid as she was (Well).
If I lived to be a thousand years old, I would always remain in complete awe and reverence at the science and technical skill it takes to design, build, and fly these machines, not to mention the years of developing procedures and processes that facilitate the smooth lifts and lands that have become accepted as normal. Much respect to tower crews, pilots, mechanics, engineers - everyone throughout the industry - for making a very complicated process work like a well-oiled machine.
It’s just a shame people behind the scenes like engineers get treated like crap, the pay is also pretty shocking for skilled engineers, I know car mechs that get more
@@ravikumarpillay8419 yes buddy I’m sure being a skilled and qualified aircraft engineer meant I chose the easy road. Clueless lol, you don’t know anything about me.
It's so wonderful knowing how many precautions are checked and set in place before a plane even begins to take off. and even DURING takeoff....just absolutely phenomenal. I have terrible flying anxiety and these videos make me so much more comfortable while traveling.
I’m intrigued by this, despite not knowing anything about aviation. I just admire the professionalism of everyone involved in flying, from the flight crew to ATC to ground crew. Thanks for sharing!
This professionalism, SOP, (standard operating procedures) is based on unprofessional, (shoddy, overtired, hung over, drunk, drugged, inattentive, blazee) cockpit operations, that resulted in dozens of fatal crashes , with t he loss of thousands of lives. (Rtd. Airline Check. Capt. Pilot Union Rep at air crash unvestiigations). You sure don't want to see that series of vids.. only for our eyes!
Damn, the amount of planning, communications, and coordination that is required just to get off the ground is mind blowing. Kudos to all the professionals!
It is mind boggling, to say the least! Do any of you ever wonder how we even got to this point...the technology, intelligence and expertise involved that's actually improved a lot in a very short amount of time, as in a few decades!? Each and every person involved in making, maintaining and operating/flying these massive birds has such a vital role. It's nothing short of a miracle!!!
@@Goatzies american ingenuity....they nick ideas...claim for themselves...just like bill gates back in the 70's/80's. Without the german world war 2 scientists you'd have no NASA etc...check out Von Braun...he had a major play in the cold war, using american's gullibility that Russia had everything and more than the americans. Rocky IV shows that, russian boxer had all the best tech, rocky had a wheelbarrow.
Listen when ever your foot is no longer on the ground you are on top off everything🤣 🤣 Nor seriously though with a job like that 4real you got to be on top of everything, she's very good💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I would say that they only behave like this because the cameras are on but that would be wrong. All commercial pilots behave this way when carrying passengers. They always remain so professional at all times. Maybe when they are at altitude and there is nothing within 100 miles and on full auto pilot they have a bit of a laugh and giggle but at all other times......
I’m under the impression that commercial passenger planes fly on auto-pilot pretty much from runway to runway. The pilot (the human) is there to ”monitor” in a sense. That said, I loved this and loved her and her beautiful accent! I haven’t flown in two years (!), I got almost teary-eyed when the plane lifted off 😥
@@ram-4 lol. Not necessarily monitor. They take charge of flight safety. Left alone, the plane will not fly on it's own whether on auto pilot or whatever. Pilots jobs are very complex and hence should be much appreciated . The least mistake you make might cost the lives of many. It's not an easy responsibility .
That was way cool. I don't care how many flight hours or high tech these planes are, it takes balls (even the ladies) to sit in that cockpit and do what they do. Kudos to all.
Yes it does, like all professions where you hold in your hands the souls of people you share a moment with. As a physician and surgeon and prior ER director now 63 retired I to held many a hand of the people I could save and also those that were to pass away. Take balls either way.
Just how clear and concise are these pilots in terms of explaining what they are doing and why? And the team work between these two is something that could be used as a model for leadership and team work in other industries. Two professionals at the top of their game sharing what they know collaboratively for the benefit of all of us. Two emerald gems in the sky you have there, Aer Lingus. Thank you for sharing them with us. And that beautiful view of a SFO departure that I miss so much in the era of covid-19. Edit: A special thanks for referring and filming the airport books with departure vectors for this video. It makes it so much easier for those of us who are more visually oriented and not aviation trained.
It's a basic part of training everywhere for flight crew. Senior pilot is captain jr hour pilot is first officer. However if they can't communicate as a team they could be fired.
@Private Eyes a common problem in aviation is that two pilots see themselves in a cultural situation where one needs to take charge and they might not know all that was going on.
Two professionals at work ,and what else would you expect, from the EMERALD ISLE.well done,and a nice presentation on procedures in the cockpit. Safe journey 🙏
It’s mind boggling, when you really think about what is going on here, that we have the ability to do this. All of the innovation and engineering ......just wow.
My head just exploded watching and listening to this MASSIVE amount of info pilots go through!!🤯 WOW!!! It seems it would take years and years of training and experience to learn all of this! Just absolutely extraordinary!
Naaaaa... Richard... it is like anything else in life, buddy... If you spent pretty much your whole life and spend all that time really concentrating on your goal, it won't be MASSIVE. lol... Just look at Doctors like Surgeons.... They pretty much spent good 10 -15 years studying of their life to be called a DOCTOR and then by the time they are ready to practice medicine, they are like 35 to 40 years old. lol... That's why in airline industry, they count number of FLYING HOURS... The more hours you spent flying any kind of plane, the more experience you have.
And I would like to think a lot of checks are done considering if the plane goes down that’s everyone on board killed so I would think a lot of checks are done as 1 human error and that’s it !
Having had time to think about it, that’s probably part of the reason why there are two pilots, because commercial airliners might just be at the uppermost limits of human brain processing power given one flies and the other handles everything else.
@@mikoto7693 yep its a huge fatigue issue, plus the double checking. Even in a simple plane, a single pilot flying by instruments is worn out and unsafe after 3-4 hours due to the continuous focus and concentration, maybe 6 hours with an autopilot or in visual conditions. With two pilots, not only is the work divided but trading jobs provides more frequent breaks from the most focus-demanding tasks.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this! It brought me to tears. It means so much to me that you featured a departure from SFO. Our beautiful light, skies, water, and hills are unmistakable. My father was with TWA from 1945-85; the majority of those years were at SFO. My mother began with Delta but moved to TWA, and my parents (both gone now) met at TWA at SFO in the late 1950s. I grew up with the airlines in my blood. When I was young, I listened to Channel 9 to hear the cockpit-air traffic controller communications, and my father and I would sit in our car behind the runway to watch takeoffs and landings. He taught me to identify all forms of aircraft. I miss those days! To this day, when I board an aircraft, I touch its exterior with my right hand as I leave the jetway, as if to say “thank you”.
You touch the exterior too?? I thought I was the only one who did that!! Although for me, I touch it as I board, telling it “thank you” in advance. Hehe.
I'm from the Bay Area. Had an uncle who worked at United during the 50's. Took us on a tour through the United kitchens in about 1958. We loved it! First flight I ever took was from SFO to SLC in 1964 (and it wasn't a jet!) Second flight: 747 from NY to Amsterdam. Culture shock! :)
I wish I'd had my camera to take the view of the bay when we took off from SF. It's an opportunity to get some fantastic pictures that no one in the city can get. If you're flying anywhere in daylight get a window seat & keep your camera handy.
As a young soldier i flew over the bridge in 65 and sailed under it in a troop ship. on my return back i rode over the bridge. now at age 80 i have a grandson that is a pilot at American Airlines.
Definitely not like jumping in the car, starting up and shifting into drive. A lot of respect for the time taken to ensure the safety of everyone. A lot of respect to the people who fly us safely to our destination!!!
I'm 40 years old. When I fly I am still like my 5 year old self. Totally in love with it all. Still stand at the windows at the gate, watch the planes, get excited every time a plane flies over me when I'm driving or at home or anywhere. Its such an amazing thing. Wish I had money to continue my flight lessons I started years ago. Maybe one day....
Congratulations young lady sound like you’re a top notch pilot I would be more than happy to have you in the captains chair on any flight I took. Keep up the great work !
Yes. The double landing of the two incoming planes looked like a practiced synchronized landing the way the aircraft lights lined up bc of the darkness. Plus a lot of the time they are using ILS and a standard speed limit for each airports approaches. So I'm thinking that could make that happen also. It was just cool to see!
As soon as a Ryanair pilot hears “50” I’m pretty sure they either A. Attempt to kamikaze the ground or B. Decide that it doesn’t matter if the passengers get a concussion from a hard landing.
As a passenger, I've always loved that sound when everything revs up for the last quick taxi into take-off. 22:52 Don't know why, but it makes me smile every time.
The last rev is bringing the engines to 50% N1 (RPM) to stabilise them evenly before applying takeoff thrust. Each engine manufacturer has a different number but the A330 is 50%. This helps to maintain stable acceleration as a pair during thrust application.
This video shows the amount of detail and professionalism the Pilots possess to fly passengers. I am in awe and grateful for all the training they go through to fly commercia aircraft. I have a good friend who is a Pilot currently flying 727s-she is an amazing and professional who spent so many years to get to that point. So, next time you fly, know your pilots are very capable of getting to your destination.
Aeronautical engineering is a feat of genuine wonder, to ensure consistent safe air travel day in and day out with such complexity is a tribute to all those in the industry
@Immortal Hold up, you think a car is safer? A dump truck could bulldoze over your car and have the same effect on your family as the scenario you gave.
@Immortal Exactly! Where as on a plane, as Steve pointed out, it is a very professional, SAFE mode of transportation with thousands of professionals making sure you're safe the whole flight.
@Immortal Are you insane or what numbers are you looking at? There are around 40.000 land road traffic fatalities each year just in the US and only 200 to 300 air traffic deaths a year World wide and most of them with smaller and private planes. Look it up. Flying in a commercial plane is the safest way to travel by far, it's not even worth a comparison. This is a tribute to the astonishing success of today's Aeronautical engineering and the absolute professionalism and skill of the Ladies and Gentlemen pilots like these two. Tons of respect and Thanks to all of them!!
Yes, Fiona appears competent and even a little bit hot. But why does she deserve a diamond medal for doing what thousands of commercial pilots do on flights every day?
This is the first video of this nature that I've seen and I'm just astounded at the amount of preparation you go through prior to take off. I imagine there is even more that goes on prior to getting into the cockpit, thank you for this, I'll be watching for more of these!
It's VITAL to your safety. They check everything, especially to make sure whatever is necessary for the flight is actually turned on/deployed. Tragically, I think checklists are too long and we're only human. There have been horrifying examples of planes crashing because the crew were probably overworked and missed something on the checklist. An example was a plane that crashed after the crew forgot to lower the flaps and the investigators got a hold of their last checklist. They had somehow overlooked it. Everything else was fine but that was all it took: ONE missed item on the list. I think the brand was Northwest Airlines but I may be wrong.
Mad amounts of respect to commercial airline pilots everywhere and the amount of professionalism, scrutiny, knowledge and patience required of them to do their job properly and make sure their passengers arrive safely at their destinations. I listen to their communications with air traffic control, and to me, they might as well be speaking a foreign language every time I hear random numbers followed by "fox trot" or "alpha" or whatever code names they use. It's almost like learning another language if you think about it. I'm absolutely mesmerized by it all and how it's all intricately designed to make sure they execute their jobs flawlessly.
@@alistairthow1384 Do you mean during the takeoff? Before a flight we always assign the duty of each pilot to be a pilot flying(PF) or pilot monitoring(PM). The PF is responsible for taking-off/maneuvering/landing (basically flying the aircraft) and the PM will be assisting in radio telephony/call outs and doing certain things in the procedure published by Airbus. In this case, she(the first officer) is the PF so she is doing the takeoff. The reason the captain put his hand on the thrust lever is because the captain is always responsible for the “STOP or GO” decision of the aircraft during takeoff, no matter he is a PF or PM on that flight. Once a very important speed is reach(V1 speed, you can look it up easily what it is), if the captain agrees that it is safe to lift-off, he will put his hand off the thrust lever indicating a “GO” decision. In any case of emergency before V1 speed he will “STOP” the aircraft and pulling the thrust back immediately. Hope I don’t confuse you and feel free to ask more questions!
..Thanks Fiona!!..Dr. says I must tell you to stop Smoking!...you're too Beautiful to be Naughty !!...Safe Flight Lovely officer....My ❤️ lies in pieces!!...
Every time I fly when getting off I always say thank you about 3 times to the pilot and crew I really want to hug them because I feel so grateful for their expertise and professionalism and getting all of us to our destinations safely. I hate flying but know it's something i have to do in order to travel to other places. I appreciate them all not everyone can do this job. Thank you very much you are amazing!
Same... I always thanked the pilots and crew. Wanted to hug the pilots as well. 😊 I haven't flown in 17 yrs... My fave part is take off being I cant drive over 150mph..... And landing... ✈ ✈ Nice to see all the safety checks they do...the technology is awesome. Id love to fly in the cockpit....just once. I hate being a backseat driver.. 😅😅
Just stumbled on this channel and I am in awe. My dream after HS years ago was to join the Navy and eventually fly planes. I had my son and I couldn’t leave him. The whole situation left me so broken hearted. To this day, I see crop dusters fly over my home and it takes me back to what could have been. ❤ Stay safe and God Bless!
Madam, although the path of the Navy and airplanes was out of reach years ago due to parental responsibilities, the devotion you have shown to your son is a priceless accomplishment. The spreaders that fly over your home may evoke memories of an unrealized dream, but the sacrifice and love you invested in raising your son is priceless. Your dedication to his growth and happiness represents an accomplishment just as noble than the one you envisioned. Your impact on her life is a far more precious flight than any plane could have provided. Michel-Henri ( France ) Madame, Bien que le chemin de la Marine et des avions ait été hors de portée il y a des années en raison de responsabilités parentales, la dévotion que tu as manifestée envers ton fils est un accomplissement inestimable. Les épandeurs qui survolent ta maison peuvent évoquer des souvenirs d'un rêve non réalisé, mais le sacrifice et l'amour que tu as investis dans l'éducation de ton fils n'ont pas de prix. Ton dévouement à sa croissance et à son bonheur représente une réalisation tout aussi noble que celle que tu avais envisagée. Ton impact sur sa vie est un vol bien plus précieux que n'importe quel avion aurait pu offrir.
You pilots and crew are super humans, honestly, how much training and ability you have is mind blowing. Thank you for just letting us sit in a chair and eat :)
This is exactly why flying is the safest form of travel. Imagine if we did this every time we jumped into a car. Outstanding work from the pilots! Thank you for what you do!
Yeah, most people don't even walk around their car 2C if their tires are going flat. Then they wreck when a tire blows out, due to heat buildup from low pressure👎😒....😺
Even if we did this with cars it still wouldn't be that much safer because the drivers are complete dicks. Any numpty can pass their test and drive a car.
I disagree that this the most safest mode of transportation or travel. What if hydraulic system fails or mechanical devices that controls the surfaces of the wings fails or worse the whole tail section falls of the plane? Any catastrophic event taking place while flying 39,000 feet up in the air in a plane usually won't end well for the pilots and passengers. On the other hand, your wheels come off or hood flies off or brakes fails, etc, etc, etc... you have a better chance that you will live to talk about it. lol...
Quel sérieux, quel professionnalisme! Un exemple pour bien des professions. Rester détendu et concentré en même temps, admirer le paysage, c'est vrai que c'est extraordinaire.
The expression of true professionalism! Aer Lingus is so right to show these operations. These two people in the cockpit really rock. Would be a pleasure to fly with them!
As someone suffering anxiety and sleep disorders, I regularly turn to this Aer Lingus pre-flight preparation program for calmness by understanding the cooperation, respect, trust, and professionalism expressed so calmly to one another in such a confined space, where the safety and comfort of so many people within and outside the aircraft, literally rides on the constant attentiveness of so few individuals.
This could actually make a good ASMR video. I won’t get personal and ask what kind of sleep disorder you have, but if by chance it’s simply not being able to fall asleep, ASMR videos are great for that. I discovered them…oh man probably like 8 years ago or something. They were kind of fringe back then, but they’re all over RUclips now.
@@smilingpukpuk No problem. Good luck. Just keep in mind that some of the videos can be a little weird, especially when they do role playing but most are simply relaxing because all they do is make tapping noises or, whispering noises and stuff like that, but even most of the role playing videos are the same way.
Stunning! Just what I imagine it would be like in the cockpit, staring up at the planes flying overhead. I get to see the approach into EWR from the South. What a great job. Thanks to all those who fly for a living, ... and for fun.
Captain Fiona knows more about aeronautics than I'll ever know about anything! ..it's not for nothing that Irish pilots are deemed among the best pilots in the skies... ..that's an awesome video guys, well done!
@@onegmsgmailcom .....Please don't tell me you actually believe that. The pilots fly the plane using headings and altitude settings, the pilots take off and land the plane as well as creating a flight path, landing plan, talking with air traffic control constantly. They monitor the computers constantly. The amount of responsibility each pilot has is extraordinary and for you to dumb it down to "a couple of buttons and the plane flies itself" is extremely ignorant. I suggest you do your research before writing stupid and uneducated comments.
Out of all my interests, represented, on ScrewTube, this is one of the few "they" didn't choke-off, in a tyrannical fashion! Susan Wuchamacallit, (ScrewTube Pres.) Be smug, for now. The "Little People" can only take so much.
Aer Lingus have a very good reputation, only two fatal crashs in it's history since 1936, both propeller driven planes, a DC3 Dakota and a Vickers Viscount.
Se fosse como carro todo irresponsável, estava provocando um monte de acidentes , imagina esses motoristas que puxa arma no trânsito, arrasta carro com caminhão, por isso desde o começo foi definido que não era para todos ser pilotos
I enjoy watching Cockpit views but this has so far been the most enjoyable. Wao. The Co-Pilot flying is the most informative of all the Co-Pilots I have watched so far. Her words are so explicit and clear. She is definitely very experienced. I love her Eye lashes for the record. Thanks.
This video really makes you appreciate all of the training, preparation, and detail that goes into making sure everyone on board is safe and has a seamless flight. Great video!
The attention to every details, drive for perfection and zero tolerance for assumptions and guess work is the reason air travels are the safest form of travelling.
I think there's something wrong with me, i randomly watch a video of an Aircraft taking off and find myself with tears in my eyes at the brilliance and professionalism of two Pilots just doing their Job, unreal this happens thousands of times a day across the World, these People are Amazing.
I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am to you pilots do your job along with all your support personnel.. this coming from a 20 years navy veteran.. I flown all over with different air carriers both domestic and flights.. thank you..
Aer Lingus has much to be proud of in these pilots. Fiona is marvelous, so cool, calm, collected and confident, and all very obviously well earned and the captain would be exactly who I'd want next to me were I piloting this craft. So impressive!
What an impressive display of training, dilligence, respect for the safety of others, and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing, and I hope I get an opportunity to ride in a plane with either of these amazing pilots.
The relaxed attitude coupled with the highest standards is the norm for Aer Lingus. They have the highest percentage of female pilots, including their chief pilot for many years, of any international airline. They have not had a crash or incidents involving injury in more than 55 years. They also have a rule of regularly flying without autopilot to maintain their skills. A few people find their cabin crew somewhat abrupt, but it is just the normal Irish manner.
As a passenger, the crew look very focused, and a heightened awareness. Very professional and the next time I fly I will remember this video. Thanks for posting!
Never seen anything like this before but it just goes to show you how important preparation and communication is between everyone and that everyone understands what's happening.
I really enjoy these videos. There is so much that goes into a flight. This is really great to have an inside look into the cockpit and see how the pilots prepare.
This is such a GREAT team, Fiona makes it even better, So informative and patient with us beginners out here. The captain is a smooth and confident gentleman---these two make up a fantastic team and so much fun to watch; Shamrock, you're the best. From here on in, it's Aer Lingus.
@@ValMartinIreland Heavy literally means, "BIG ASS AIRPLANE!" This helps Air Traffic Control (and other pilots) differentiate between that lil single engine Cessna and a ~300,000lb AirBus.
Two marvelous pilots making it look easy and effortless! I'm a nervous wreck listening to all of the details that Fiona and her co-pilot have to be totally aware of! Great job!
I was thoroughly impressed with the ground ATC. She was rattling off all the information with barely a hitch and so professional. In amateur radio parlance she handled that pileup to perfection.
It's impressive how well trained and professional the pilot's are. Thank heavens there are so many people like them in our world. Next time I fly I'll remember to thank the flight crew.
I always dreamt of being a pilot, no support as a child and hard times made me have to grow up fast. Now with a family seems nearly impossible but thank you for making these videos makes me feel a part of the team and that my dreams can still be possible. Thanks guys!
sorry to hear. unfortunately i don't get it why these are reasons for not being a pilot. growing up to fast? and hard times? are there specific jobs which can only be taken if someone has hard times? what are these jobs? And there are a lot of pilots who have family and kids. Thank you explaining.
@@langzeitstratege3191 Here is my take: *"no support as a child"* As a child he was not encouraged to pursue what could have become a career. *"hard times"* Financial issues kept him from taking flying lessons. *"made me have to grow up fast"* He needed to take other jobs to support himself and/or his family, preventing him from having the spare money and/or time to become a pilot. In fact he describes the usual hassles which keep most people from realizing their dream of becoming pilots. I find it odd that you didn't grasp this.
@@coriscotupi how about taking a loan at a bank how everyone does to get the money for the flying school? I know two pilots. Both had to take a loan because, guess what, the did not have the money on their account.
@@langzeitstratege3191 You do know that not everyone lives in the same conditions... don't you? People might already be paying bank loans for their home, etc, might have to support their families and guess what, might not afford o pay another loan. I find it odd that you don't grasp the concept. *"I know two pilots."* Good! I've been a pilot since 1985 and I can vividly recall the hard choices I had to make to be able to afford it. And I reckon that most people who have the dream would also make those choices if they at least had the chance. Sadly, many didn't.

So interesting for a NON pilot…we sit in the seat and wonder what’s taking so long and not even giving it a little thought all the things that are being done in the cockpit to keep us safe…so much respect for all these professional pilots!!
This flight is a "special flight" because it has 2stage, a "normal" flight over U.S mainland, then 2nd leg which is Transoceanic over the pond to Dublin, we need to get Transoceanic clearance before proceeding over the pond,(north Atlantic,NATRACKs),before Halifax,GooseBay ,Gander .all these clearance are done through ACARS, a nonverbal communication. It's 6hours over pond with special ops clearance called ETOPS/EDTO, mid-diversion alternate at Keflavic, this clearance ends once you're 60mins flight time from land or an nominated airport, or destination.
Happy Flying!
Yeah, apparently the pilots are busy making videos, watching other planes, or admiring the view. 🙄
They smoke mids up in the cockbox and get it spacey like Kevin. Then they ghost ride the b all the way to the destination 🤙
I'd never keep up with the radio.
New admiration for the hostesses/hosts - essential for them to be keeping things cool in the cabin. The folks up front have shit to do and can't be distracted!
Damn, I miss my job. After 33 years with Continental/United I was forced to retire Sept. 1st. Not because of health or ability reasons but because I turned 65. My last flight as a 777 Captain was August 29, Seoul to San Francisco. and every day since it gets a little more depressing. It's scary how fast 33 years goes by when you love what you do. So be sure to take in and enjoy every minute of it, for before you know it it will all be over.
Hey at least you’re not dragging bags through the airport wearing a “face Panty”
What was your first flight as captain? Keep your head up. Plenty of ways to stay involved with your passion. You're still a young man. Cheers.
My son is 17 and getting his pilots license right now. I begged him to stay on the ground but he’s wanted to do this since he was 5 yrs old and I don’t think I could sway him to do any different. I tried tho. I sit and wait at the airport while he takes his lessons. He flies a drone for my business and saved up all the money to pay for these lessons himself. I’m very proud of him. I bet you do miss your job a lot.
@@matvei15 lol...Funny you asked that as it was my most stressful flight of my career. My first Captain flight was 23 years ago on a 737/800, Houston to Anchorage. I had completed my 25 hours of IOE, (Initial Operating Experience, the final check rides operating actual passenger flights with a Check Airman as my FO) just two days before. The IAH to ANC flight was a 757 flight, but a mechanical problem caused them to have to switch airplanes, but no other 757’s were available so they equipment substituted it to the 737/800. Problem was, that was really stretching the range of the 800. If upper level air temperatures and winds were good, and no in route weather deviations were needed AND the weather at ANC was good, the flight could be made and arrived at ANC with adequate reserve fuel, for which the absolute minimum was 4000 lbs. which just so happened to be the amount Saber, the company’s flight planning software, calculated I would arrive with. Everything seemed to be working out fine, up until it came time to climb to our final altitude of 36,000 ft. from 34,000. At 350 we entered an inversion layer and the OAT(outside air temp) shot up to ISA +15. We now could not safely make it to 360 and had to return to 340. And after doing the math it should we now would arrive with 3200 lbs, not 4000. Not only was it now illegal, but in the event I would have to do a go around it would have become an emergency to get priority to land. At the time we were about 45 minutes south of Seattle. I had my first officer call the company and explain the situation and told them we were landing in Seattle for fuel. The stressful part came in telling the passengers, who were already upset for being three hours late, that we now had to land in Seattle for fuel. lol.
@@MK-hz2bn yes, I miss it very much. And no, you will not be able to talk him out of it. This was all I ever wanted to do since I was three years old. I had planned to go into the Air Force after college, but thanks to Jimmy Carter and what he did to the Armed Forces that dream evaporated. So after college I got a job at Western geophysical as a systems analyst. It was a very good job and I hated it. After a few years I realized that if this was gonna be my life I would probably commit suicide. That thought frightened me so much that the next day I went down to a small airport by my house and signed up to take flying lessons. I got myself put on the night shift at work and took lessons during the day. After about a year and a half I had my Instrument rating, multi engine rating, commercial pilots license and Flight Instructors rating. I found a job in Tulsa has a flight instructor, quit my job at Western and packed up and moved to Tulsa. I spent the next 10 years working my way up through the general aviation world and finally, on May 11, 1987 I was hired at Continental Airlines and began my Airline career as a 727 Flight Engineer. please tell your son for me, to not let anything dissuade him from his dream, for that would be the one thing in his life he will regret forever. Actually I feel sorry for people who are happy when they have to retire. That means they have spent a lifetime doing something they didn’t enjoy. I certainly can’t say that, thank god.

First, I’m a retired air traffic controller. In my day we were able to occasionally ride in the cockpit jump seat. In addition I’m a licensed private pilot. (Single-engine). This is one of the finest videos I’ve seen on what goes on in the cockpit. Fiona does an outstanding job explaining procedures prior to pushback. This crew, both Captain and First Officer show the coordination and professionalism we all want when flying.

Makes you realise these guys can never have an “off day” - always have to be spot on. Huge respect.
I worked as a cardiovascular perfusionist for 27+ years and it was the same thing. If you had an ‘off day’ it could mean a patient’s death. We operate the heart-lung machine for cardiac surgery.
"off day" -- yes, they can -- kinda/sorta! Before a pilot can even begin the preflight paper work in their office (yes, there's such a thing) each member of the crew has to sign and confirm that they are mentally and physically fit to work their schedule. During training they are ingrained with the idea that not being fit to work can mean immediate termination, and worst case, death. So, what happens if one or more crew members pull back for whatever reason? Believe it or not, every leg of a flight has standby crews ready to take over, if one or more members of a crew are in any way incapacitated.
@M E one or however many, if it’s you on the table, you don’t want someone that will screw up. A death is a death in my book.
@@HermannTheGreat thank you for your kind words. Most nurses that work in the cardiac operating rooms are pretty good and on top of things. I did that prior to perfusion school. Most docs were good, but some were very temperamental. I’m pretty easy going most of the time, but if the docs were doing something that put the patient in jeopardy, they would definitely hear about it. Most of them that I worked with knew that if I was complaining about something that there really was a situation developing and they paid attention. Of course there are those few that thought everything revolved around them. I’m glad that I’m out of the rat race now. More time for golf.
They are little cogs in a massive machine, same as most jobs..
As someone who navigates a generalized anxiety disorder and who also gets anxious when flying, Fiona’s professionalism and overall brilliance gives me peace of soul. Thank you for this video! Makes me want to prioritize booking a flight on Aer Lingus to Dublin as soon as I can!!! Hope the crew are well and continue posting!
This is weirdly satisfying and reassuring to watch such competent, professional, and pleasant execution. Love it!
I love the excitment from Fiona when the two planes coming in are almost parlell and the male pilot whispering 'i know '😅 makes me proud to be irish watching theese two 😊🇮🇪
Personally, the best parts of flying are when the plane is running with full throttle on the runway and when the plane is about to touch-down on the runway. It gives me an adrenaline rush every time.
I haven't been on a plane since 2002 but my favorite is also take off and for some reason, turbulence.
I love flying and enjoyed this video greatly, thank you. 😊👍🙏
Agreed, no matter how many times you do it, takeoff is always a total rush! Although i rememeber leaving Nashville one stormy night and that was a rush not in a good way lol! Those scary times are when you appreciate the professionalism of these flight crews
Me too Kamkuert!! The Old Jumbo aircraft were MASSIVE and the engines at full throttle was amazing as the Jumbo needed a real good run. I thought it was never going to take off, then it just “heaved” itself off the runway. It actually brings me to tears at actual take off. Anyone else feel that way?

I would say that they only behave like this because the cameras are on but that would be wrong. All commercial pilots behave this way when carrying passengers. They always remain so professional at all times. Maybe when they are at altitude and there is nothing within 100 miles and on full auto pilot they have a bit of a laugh and giggle but at all other times......
Aa, what would a Martian know about it?
I’m under the impression that commercial passenger planes fly on auto-pilot pretty much from runway to runway. The pilot (the human) is there to ”monitor” in a sense. That said, I loved this and loved her and her beautiful accent! I haven’t flown in two years (!), I got almost teary-eyed when the plane lifted off 😥
@@ram-4 lol. Not necessarily monitor. They take charge of flight safety. Left alone, the plane will not fly on it's own whether on auto pilot or whatever.

Just how clear and concise are these pilots in terms of explaining what they are doing and why? And the team work between these two is something that could be used as a model for leadership and team work in other industries. Two professionals at the top of their game sharing what they know collaboratively for the benefit of all of us. Two emerald gems in the sky you have there, Aer Lingus. Thank you for sharing them with us. And that beautiful view of a SFO departure that I miss so much in the era of covid-19.
Edit: A special thanks for referring and filming the airport books with departure vectors for this video. It makes it so much easier for those of us who are more visually oriented and not aviation trained.
It's a basic part of training everywhere for flight crew. Senior pilot is captain jr hour pilot is first officer. However if they can't communicate as a team they could be fired.
@Private Eyes a common problem in aviation is that two pilots see themselves in a cultural situation where one needs to take charge and they might not know all that was going on.
Two professionals at work ,and what else would you expect, from the EMERALD ISLE.well done,and a nice presentation on procedures in the cockpit. Safe journey 🙏
Fiona is quite good and very detailed and audible in her preflight briefing. She absolutely amazing !

Yes! As well. the professionals, here, are so dang good; I'd trust them, with just an altimeter, and a compass!
I wonder the amount of human hours, and money used to make it happen
Agreed. The science of flight is largely ignored. Its a phenomenal human achievement and i think the greatest of the last 100 plus years.
There is no we. Only smart people are capable of this.
no worries. just fly our own small plane like i did
My head just exploded watching and listening to this MASSIVE amount of info pilots go through!!🤯 WOW!!! It seems it would take years and years of training and experience to learn all of this! Just absolutely extraordinary!
Naaaaa... Richard... it is like anything else in life, buddy... If you spent pretty much your whole life and spend all that time really concentrating on your goal, it won't be MASSIVE. lol... Just look at Doctors like Surgeons.... They pretty much spent good 10 -15 years studying of their life to be called a DOCTOR and then by the time they are ready to practice medicine, they are like 35 to 40 years old. lol... That's why in airline industry, they count number of FLYING HOURS... The more hours you spent flying any kind of plane, the more experience you have.
And I would like to think a lot of checks are done considering if the plane goes down that’s everyone on board killed so I would think a lot of checks are done as 1 human error and that’s it !
@@dodgersfan8598 Check✔️
Having had time to think about it, that’s probably part of the reason why there are two pilots, because commercial airliners might just be at the uppermost limits of human brain processing power given one flies and the other handles everything else.
@@mikoto7693 yep its a huge fatigue issue, plus the double checking. Even in a simple plane, a single pilot flying by instruments is worn out and unsafe after 3-4 hours due to the continuous focus and concentration, maybe 6 hours with an autopilot or in visual conditions.
With two pilots, not only is the work divided but trading jobs provides more frequent breaks from the most focus-demanding tasks.
The amount of confidence on the pilot lady is outstanding great job
Note how they had ground clearances and she kept double and triple checking the taxi ways for other traffic, superb work!!!!
It’s usually required to check anyways, but YES very professional and reassuring work these amazing pilots perform! :)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this! It brought me to tears. It means so much to me that you featured a departure from SFO. Our beautiful light, skies, water, and hills are unmistakable. My father was with TWA from 1945-85; the majority of those years were at SFO. My mother began with Delta but moved to TWA, and my parents (both gone now) met at TWA at SFO in the late 1950s. I grew up with the airlines in my blood. When I was young, I listened to Channel 9 to hear the cockpit-air traffic controller communications, and my father and I would sit in our car behind the runway to watch takeoffs and landings. He taught me to identify all forms of aircraft. I miss those days! To this day, when I board an aircraft, I touch its exterior with my right hand as I leave the jetway, as if to say “thank you”.
Thank you for sharing your memories.
You touch the exterior too?? I thought I was the only one who did that!! Although for me, I touch it as I board, telling it “thank you” in advance. Hehe.
I'm from the Bay Area. Had an uncle who worked at United during the 50's. Took us on a tour through the United kitchens in about 1958. We loved it! First flight I ever took was from SFO to SLC in 1964 (and it wasn't a jet!) Second flight: 747 from NY to Amsterdam. Culture shock! :)
I wish I'd had my camera to take the view of the bay when we took off from SF. It's an opportunity to get some fantastic pictures that no one in the city can get. If you're flying anywhere in daylight get a window seat & keep your camera handy.
As a young soldier i flew over the bridge in 65 and sailed under it in a troop ship. on my return back i rode over the bridge. now at age 80 i have a grandson that is a pilot at American Airlines.
Definitely not like jumping in the car, starting up and shifting into drive. A lot of respect for the time taken to ensure the safety of everyone. A lot of respect to the people who fly us safely to our destination!!!
:-)
I'm 40 years old. When I fly I am still like my 5 year old self. Totally in love with it all. Still stand at the windows at the gate, watch the planes, get excited every time a plane flies over me when I'm driving or at home or anywhere. Its such an amazing thing. Wish I had money to continue my flight lessons I started years ago. Maybe one day....
I thought I was the only one still fascinated by every aspect of flight. Watching them land, take off, etc.. and btw I’m over 40. Just barely.😊
I like most cokepit view
Michael Dolch, just curious but how far did you get with your previous flying lessons?
I'm over 50 and i still like to get a window seat. Never could understand the bored, reading a book like flying is an inconvenience to them traveler.
@@janethammer9501 only 2.5 hours. So basically nothing.
Congratulations young lady sound like you’re a top notch pilot I would be more than happy to have you in the captains chair on any flight I took. Keep up the great work !
The teamwork within this crew is like a concert. Amazing.
Well put
Has to be that way for accountability if they crash.
@@brianvector or to prevent it maybe
I've never seen such a beautiful crew working together as one. Thanks for all you do to keep use safe.
The parallel landing of those two planes , just amazing
Yes. The double landing of the two incoming planes looked like a practiced synchronized landing the way the aircraft lights lined up bc of the darkness. Plus a lot of the time they are using ILS and a standard speed limit for each airports approaches. So I'm thinking that could make that happen also. It was just cool to see!
@@patrickmollohan3082 Yeah, a sight to see alright!
A good demonstration as to why Aer Lingus has one of the best safety records globally in aviation. Proud to have crew like this flying our flag.
Love the Irish ...dont like Ryand Air. Its shit
Ryan Air can suck me from behind!! Love Ireland!
Ryanair... just throw the thing in drive, let's get the hell out of here.
Ryanair Land approach... 100 feet ... 50... 10... bam!!!
As soon as a Ryanair pilot hears “50” I’m pretty sure they either A. Attempt to kamikaze the ground or B. Decide that it doesn’t matter if the passengers get a concussion from a hard landing.
As a passenger, I've always loved that sound when everything revs up for the last quick taxi into take-off. 22:52 Don't know why, but it makes me smile every time.
Same! It's like "here we goooo!"
@@codysearchfield8258 hahahaha so accurate
The last rev is bringing the engines to 50% N1 (RPM) to stabilise them evenly before applying takeoff thrust. Each engine manufacturer has a different number but the A330 is 50%. This helps to maintain stable acceleration as a pair during thrust application.
It makes all my sphincters clench.
I'm the exact opposite 😂 My anxiety sky-rocketed while watching and suddenly hearing the whining of the engines. And I'm sitting on a barstool haha
This video shows the amount of detail and professionalism the Pilots possess to fly passengers. I am in awe and grateful for all the training they go through to fly commercia aircraft. I have a good friend who is a Pilot currently flying 727s-she is an amazing and professional who spent so many years to get to that point. So, next time you fly, know your pilots are very capable of getting to your destination.
Aeronautical engineering is a feat of genuine wonder, to ensure consistent safe air travel day in and day out with such complexity is a tribute to all those in the industry
Absolutely!!
Unreal. Every single person involved at every level deserves massive respect
@Immortal Hold up, you think a car is safer? A dump truck could bulldoze over your car and have the same effect on your family as the scenario you gave.
@Immortal Exactly! Where as on a plane, as Steve pointed out, it is a very professional, SAFE mode of transportation with thousands of professionals making sure you're safe the whole flight.
@Immortal Are you insane or what numbers are you looking at? There are around 40.000 land road traffic fatalities each year just in the US and only 200 to 300 air traffic deaths a year World wide and most of them with smaller and private planes. Look it up. Flying in a commercial plane is the safest way to travel by far, it's not even worth a comparison. This is a tribute to the astonishing success of today's Aeronautical engineering and the absolute professionalism and skill of the Ladies and Gentlemen pilots like these two. Tons of respect and Thanks to all of them!!
Fiona deserves a diamond medal. Her briefing is so detailed. No doubts, she is great
No she doesn’t. That she gave a standard brief.
Yes, Fiona appears competent and even a little bit hot. But why does she deserve a diamond medal for doing what thousands of commercial pilots do on flights every day?
This is the first video of this nature that I've seen and I'm just astounded at the amount of preparation you go through prior to take off. I imagine there is even more that goes on prior to getting into the cockpit, thank you for this, I'll be watching for more of these!
It's VITAL to your safety. They check everything, especially to make sure whatever is necessary for the flight is actually turned on/deployed. Tragically, I think checklists are too long and we're only human. There have been horrifying examples of planes crashing because the crew were probably overworked and missed something on the checklist. An example was a plane that crashed after the crew forgot to lower the flaps and the investigators got a hold of their last checklist. They had somehow overlooked it. Everything else was fine but that was all it took: ONE missed item on the list. I think the brand was Northwest Airlines but I may be wrong.
Yeah I decided to watch this to help me get rid of my fear of flying
Mad amounts of respect to commercial airline pilots everywhere and the amount of professionalism, scrutiny, knowledge and patience required of them to do their job properly and make sure their passengers arrive safely at their destinations. I listen to their communications with air traffic control, and to me, they might as well be speaking a foreign language every time I hear random numbers followed by "fox trot" or "alpha" or whatever code names they use. It's almost like learning another language if you think about it. I'm absolutely mesmerized by it all and how it's all intricately designed to make sure they execute their jobs flawlessly.
I am an A330 Pilot and lost my airline job 4 months ago.
Watching this makes me miss flying so much.
Hope to get back on that beauty again soon!
Sorry to hear that you have lost your job I hope you get back in the cockpit very soon 🙏
@@careyewart4413 Thank you so much Carey 🙏
Sorry to hear about that Pat, question.
Why does the Co pilot put his hand on the throttle after the pilot has taken her hand off?
@@alistairthow1384 Do you mean during the takeoff? Before a flight we always assign the duty of each pilot to be a pilot flying(PF) or pilot monitoring(PM). The PF is responsible for taking-off/maneuvering/landing (basically flying the aircraft) and the PM will be assisting in radio telephony/call outs and doing certain things in the procedure published by Airbus. In this case, she(the first officer) is the PF so she is doing the takeoff. The reason the captain put his hand on the thrust lever is because the captain is always responsible for the “STOP or GO” decision of the aircraft during takeoff, no matter he is a PF or PM on that flight. Once a very important speed is reach(V1 speed, you can look it up easily what it is), if the captain agrees that it is safe to lift-off, he will put his hand off the thrust lever indicating a “GO” decision. In any case of emergency before V1 speed he will “STOP” the aircraft and pulling the thrust back immediately.
Hope I don’t confuse you and feel free to ask more questions!
..Thanks Fiona!!..Dr. says I must tell you to stop Smoking!...you're too Beautiful to be Naughty !!...Safe Flight Lovely officer....My ❤️ lies in pieces!!...
Every time I fly when getting off I always say thank you about 3 times to the pilot and crew I really want to hug them because I feel so grateful for their expertise and professionalism and getting all of us to our destinations safely. I hate flying but know it's something i have to do in order to travel to other places. I appreciate them all not everyone can do this job. Thank you very much you are amazing!
Same... I always thanked the pilots and crew. Wanted to hug the pilots as well. 😊
I haven't flown in 17 yrs...
My fave part is take off being I cant drive over 150mph.....
And landing... ✈ ✈
Nice to see all the safety checks they do...the technology is awesome.
Id love to fly in the cockpit....just once.
I hate being a backseat driver..
😅😅
Agree 100 % except sometimes I enjoy flying
Just stumbled on this channel and I am in awe. My dream after HS years ago was to join the Navy and eventually fly planes. I had my son and I couldn’t leave him. The whole situation left me so broken hearted. To this day, I see crop dusters fly over my home and it takes me back to what could have been. ❤ Stay safe and God Bless!
Madam, although the path of the Navy and airplanes was out of reach years ago due to parental responsibilities, the devotion you have shown to your son is a priceless accomplishment.
The spreaders that fly over your home may evoke memories of an unrealized dream, but the sacrifice and love you invested in raising your son is priceless.
Your dedication to his growth and happiness represents an accomplishment just as noble than the one you envisioned.
Your impact on her life is a far more precious flight than any plane could have provided. Michel-Henri ( France )
Madame,
Bien que le chemin de la Marine et des avions ait été hors de portée il y a des années en raison de responsabilités parentales, la dévotion que tu as manifestée envers ton fils est un accomplissement inestimable.
Les épandeurs qui survolent ta maison peuvent évoquer des souvenirs d'un rêve non réalisé, mais le sacrifice et l'amour que tu as investis dans l'éducation de ton fils n'ont pas de prix.
Ton dévouement à sa croissance et à son bonheur représente une réalisation tout aussi noble que celle que tu avais envisagée.
Ton impact sur sa vie est un vol bien plus précieux que n'importe quel avion aurait pu offrir.
You pilots and crew are super humans, honestly, how much training and ability you have is mind blowing. Thank you for just letting us sit in a chair and eat :)
They're like surgeons.
This is exactly why flying is the safest form of travel. Imagine if we did this every time we jumped into a car. Outstanding work from the pilots! Thank you for what you do!
Yeah, most people don't even walk around their car 2C if their tires are going flat. Then they wreck when a tire blows out, due to heat buildup from low pressure👎😒....😺
Even if we did this with cars it still wouldn't be that much safer because the drivers are complete dicks. Any numpty can pass their test and drive a car.
@@Dan-jg7zl whats a numpty?
not with a woman
I disagree that this the most safest mode of transportation or travel. What if hydraulic system fails or mechanical devices that controls the surfaces of the wings fails or worse the whole tail section falls of the plane? Any catastrophic event taking place while flying 39,000 feet up in the air in a plane usually won't end well for the pilots and passengers. On the other hand, your wheels come off or hood flies off or brakes fails, etc, etc, etc... you have a better chance that you will live to talk about it. lol...
This is so soothing to watch.
I have a deep respect for Pilots👨🏼✈️👩🏼✈️🧑🏾✈️👨🏽✈️ and their crew👩🏻💼🧑🏽💼🤵🏻🤵🏾👩🍳👨🍳
She's amazing !
@@larrylarkin8882
Yes she’s wonderful
Quel sérieux, quel professionnalisme! Un exemple pour bien des professions. Rester détendu et concentré en même temps, admirer le paysage, c'est vrai que c'est extraordinaire.
The expression of true professionalism! Aer Lingus is so right to show these operations. These two people in the cockpit really rock. Would be a pleasure to fly with them!
I love their focus and professionalism. I didn't realize how often the air traffic controllers need to communicate!
4 active runways that cross each other, atc has a lot going on lol. Everything about this video is impressive.
As someone suffering anxiety and sleep disorders, I regularly turn to this Aer Lingus pre-flight preparation program for calmness by understanding the cooperation, respect, trust, and professionalism expressed so calmly to one another in such a confined space, where the safety and comfort of so many people within and outside the aircraft, literally rides on the constant attentiveness of so few individuals.
Hang in there...😀
@@theeconomytraveler9999 🙏🙏🙏
This could actually make a good ASMR video. I won’t get personal and ask what kind of sleep disorder you have, but if by chance it’s simply not being able to fall asleep, ASMR videos are great for that. I discovered them…oh man probably like 8 years ago or something. They were kind of fringe back then, but they’re all over RUclips now.
@@Whoopdido777 That's a very good suggestion. I shall check them out. Thanks for the heads up.
@@smilingpukpuk No problem. Good luck. Just keep in mind that some of the videos can be a little weird, especially when they do role playing but most are simply relaxing because all they do is make tapping noises or, whispering noises and stuff like that, but even most of the role playing videos are the same way.
Stunning! Just what I imagine it would be like in the cockpit, staring up at the planes flying overhead. I get to see the approach into EWR from the South. What a great job. Thanks to all those who fly for a living, ... and for fun.
Captain Fiona knows more about aeronautics than I'll ever know about anything! ..it's not for nothing that Irish pilots are deemed among the best pilots in the skies... ..that's an awesome video guys, well done!
You go Girl!!’ Your parents and family has to be so proud of you.
I did not realize how much preflight checks and coordinating had to be done prior to departure. Great job. I love female pilots as well 😊 Fiona!!!
Shout out to Fiona 😜
They not necesary, computer tells you anyway and lift plain for ya, did u saw them using flying stick ever :O
@@onegmsgmailcom .....Please don't tell me you actually believe that. The pilots fly the plane using headings and altitude settings, the pilots take off and land the plane as well as creating a flight path, landing plan, talking with air traffic control constantly. They monitor the computers constantly. The amount of responsibility each pilot has is extraordinary and for you to dumb it down to "a couple of buttons and the plane flies itself" is extremely ignorant. I suggest you do your research before writing stupid and uneducated comments.
AK
there's just a little bit more to it than that
Me too. I thought all they did was 'kick the tires'!
Pilot’s never cease to amaze me just everything they have to do just to take off & land, these guys are flippin fantastic ❤
Ah I love youtube for things like this. Opportunity for regular people to gain an insight into other people's careers or lives. 👍
Love what said
True Sir. Thanks to YT.
LIKEWISE. .Congrats and thanks for your very professional work and commentary
Out of all my interests, represented, on ScrewTube, this is one of the few "they" didn't choke-off, in a tyrannical fashion! Susan Wuchamacallit, (ScrewTube Pres.) Be smug, for now. The "Little People" can only take so much.
I agreed. 🌷
This is one of the best, if not the best, flight video I've seen. Just incredible! So well trained, so professional. Just great!!!
Aer Lingus have a very good reputation, only two fatal crashs in it's history since 1936, both propeller driven planes, a DC3 Dakota and a Vickers Viscount.
That’s so true , I watch it over and over.
What a thrill it must be to pilot these amazing machines. The complexity of the cockpit is mind-boggling.
Se fosse como carro todo irresponsável, estava provocando um monte de acidentes , imagina esses motoristas que puxa arma no trânsito, arrasta carro com caminhão, por isso desde o começo foi definido que não era para todos ser pilotos
I enjoy watching Cockpit views but this has so far been the most enjoyable. Wao. The Co-Pilot flying is the most informative of all the Co-Pilots I have watched so far. Her words are so explicit and clear. She is definitely very experienced. I love her Eye lashes for the record. Thanks.
This video really makes you appreciate all of the training, preparation, and detail that goes into making sure everyone on board is safe and has a seamless flight. Great video!
planes still crash and when they do.. everyone dies. Period.
@@ericdraven7185 Cars still crash too. Duh.
So a train driver with more than 1000 passengers is a joke to you?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡
@@ericdraven7185 cheese and rice, lol calm down. Nevermind 😏🙄
@@aaronwasserman3637 when a car breaks down you can pull over and fix it, when a plane breaks down 99% chabce you still crash and die 🤷♂️😂
The attention to every details, drive for perfection and zero tolerance for assumptions and guess work is the reason air travels are the safest form of travelling.
I love how she talks pilot talk. I've no idea what she's saying but sounds good to me 😃
I think there's something wrong with me, i randomly watch a video of an Aircraft taking off and find myself with tears in my eyes at the brilliance and professionalism of two Pilots just doing their Job, unreal this happens thousands of times a day across the World, these People are Amazing.
RUclips is fantastic. One could never experience this when I was young - not without being in the jump seat.
@Cat Princess In my country you can still do that. obviously not now during covid.
I visited the deck last year.
@@monalisa3510 He didn't say anything about not being able to sit in the jump seat.
I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am to you pilots do your job along with all your support personnel.. this coming from a 20 years navy veteran.. I flown all over with different air carriers both domestic and flights.. thank you..
Aer Lingus has much to be proud of in these pilots. Fiona is marvelous, so cool, calm, collected and confident, and all very obviously well earned and the captain would be exactly who I'd want next to me were I piloting this craft. So impressive!
What an impressive display of training, dilligence, respect for the safety of others, and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing, and I hope I get an opportunity to ride in a plane with either of these amazing pilots.
The relaxed attitude coupled with the highest standards is the norm for Aer Lingus. They have the highest percentage of female pilots, including their chief pilot for many years, of any international airline. They have not had a crash or incidents involving injury in more than 55 years. They also have a rule of regularly flying without autopilot to maintain their skills.
A few people find their cabin crew somewhat abrupt, but it is just the normal Irish manner.
Fiona is very efficient! What a great team of professionals this flight crew is. Well done! Great job!
Not to mention one ☝️ of the prettiest 👩✈️ pilots I’ve ever seen ! Lovely as the Captain says ! 🫡
As a passenger, the crew look very focused, and a heightened awareness. Very professional and the next time I fly I will remember this video. Thanks for posting!
These kinds of detailed people are majority of how aviation accidents are prevented.
You can thank 9-11 for that.
Never seen anything like this before but it just goes to show you how important preparation and communication is between everyone and that everyone understands what's happening.
Yes, I agree. Very educational for us wannabe pilots. Really loved this video. Thorough preparation. Great pilots and work well as a team.
most of airliners' biggest disasters were because of poor crew ressource management, rio-paris as being one of the prime example.
I really enjoy these videos. There is so much that goes into a flight. This is really great to have an inside look into the cockpit and see how the pilots prepare.
The amount of training these pilots go through. Much respect!!!
This is such a GREAT team, Fiona makes it even better, So informative and patient with us beginners out here. The captain is a smooth and confident gentleman---these two make up a fantastic team and so much fun to watch; Shamrock, you're the best. From here on in, it's Aer Lingus.
Go Aer Lingus..Go!!!
lots of love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Is Shamrock = Air Lingus? What does heavy mean in the call sign?
@@ValMartinIreland Heavy literally means, "BIG ASS AIRPLANE!" This helps Air Traffic Control (and other pilots) differentiate between that lil single engine Cessna and a ~300,000lb AirBus.
Two marvelous pilots making it look easy and effortless! I'm a nervous wreck listening to all of the details that Fiona and her co-pilot have to be totally aware of! Great job!
one is a B I *T-CH you mor on
I was thoroughly impressed with the ground ATC. She was rattling off all the information with barely a hitch and so professional. In amateur radio parlance she handled that pileup to perfection.
Fiona is very detailed in her preflight briefing in the cockpit. No questions about anything as she basically covered it all.
The the plane was taking off , Fiona was bouncing on her seat due to the runway.
Yeah ! I want to fly with Fiona and her crew.
@@starlitelodge7410 Top Notch! A cut above! The cream of the crop! Best in the business, need we say more?
@@leonardmottjr1 creamy.. yes
Cute too!!!
It's impressive how well trained and professional the pilot's are. Thank heavens there are so many people like them in our world. Next time I fly I'll remember to thank the flight crew.
I always thank the flight crew when I get off of the aircraft.
I always dreamt of being a pilot, no support as a child and hard times made me have to grow up fast. Now with a family seems nearly impossible but thank you for making these videos makes me feel a part of the team and that my dreams can still be possible. Thanks guys!
sorry to hear. unfortunately i don't get it why these are reasons for not being a pilot. growing up to fast? and hard times? are there specific jobs which can only be taken if someone has hard times? what are these jobs?
And there are a lot of pilots who have family and kids. Thank you explaining.
Purchase Microsoft's Flight Simulator or similar product and become a "Sim Pilot". There is a whole virtual world waiting for you.
@@langzeitstratege3191
Here is my take:
*"no support as a child"*
As a child he was not encouraged to pursue what could have become a career.
*"hard times"*
Financial issues kept him from taking flying lessons.
*"made me have to grow up fast"*
He needed to take other jobs to support himself and/or his family, preventing him from having the spare money and/or time to become a pilot.
In fact he describes the usual hassles which keep most people from realizing their dream of becoming pilots. I find it odd that you didn't grasp this.
@@coriscotupi how about taking a loan at a bank how everyone does to get the money for the flying school? I know two pilots. Both had to take a loan because, guess what, the did not have the money on their account.
@@langzeitstratege3191 You do know that not everyone lives in the same conditions... don't you? People might already be paying bank loans for their home, etc, might have to support their families and guess what, might not afford o pay another loan. I find it odd that you don't grasp the concept.
*"I know two pilots."*
Good!
I've been a pilot since 1985 and I can vividly recall the hard choices I had to make to be able to afford it. And I reckon that most people who have the dream would also make those choices if they at least had the chance. Sadly, many didn't.
I think aircraft and pilots are absolutely amazing!
