It's interesting to see the co-ordination between the three in the cockpit, in the days when there was a flight engineer on board. I understand nowadays automation and computerization takes care of many things and has brought down the crew numbers to 2 only, but an engineer on board as a third officer is still important even in today's modern flight deck set up. Improves safety and a third eye and hand is always helpful if any stressful situations arise . Those who fly will know.
The Iran Air Captain sure has a lot of experience flying with 22,000 hours over 40 years. I would feel very safe flying with this kind of crew in the cockpit.
When I see this plane it reminds me of the time when there were no cell phones, no social media etc. It was just you and your dreams flying t trough the skies
Excellent video. Great and well coordinated crew. Just one question. Is that a plant or some cylindrical decoration in the First Class cabin on everyone’s table? The food looks great.
A very special B-747 SP that looks as though it has shrunk after washing! The Iran Air crew worked hard to satisfy the passengers. Is this plane still flying? Thanks for sharing this nice flight 😊!
Very nice landing, but the captain made an error during landing checklist. At 1:48:56 he confirms that speed brake is ARMED. But later 1:50:28 at touchdown we see that in fact speed brake was not armed, and he had to deploy it manually when he noticed it wasn't armed.
You are correct. The Flight Engineer reads the challenge “SPEED BRAKES. “The Captain responds “ARMED” but his right hand is still on the throttles. His right hand should have moved from the throttles and lifted the Speed Brake lever and moved it from the forward detent position back to the Armed position. He might have done this step prior to the Flight Engineer reading it, but I’m not sure. Upon landing there are a few requirements that must be satisfied before the Speed Brakes will automatically deploy. First is the landing gear must send an UNTILT signal. I am sure you have seen the 747-landing gear hanging down in flight. That is a TILTED gear (air mode), on the ground the gear is UNTILTED (ground mode). Then the throttles must be moved to IDLE thrust. With the speed brakes ARMED and these 2 requirements satisfied, the speed brakes (ground spoilers) will automatically deploy. After touchdown there can be a bit of a lag before they auto-deploy, so some pilots just go ahead and pull the lever manually instead of waiting. So either he did not arm the auto spoilers or he just did not want to wait a second or two for the auto deployment.
Do Iran Air 1st officers ever get to touch the yoke or do they strictly operate radios and read off checklists? I haven’t seen a single Iran Air video where the 1st office flies any leg of the trip! Seems like the captain takes off, flies the route, and lands!
Interesting to hear the radar altimeter call out 2500’ during the climb when they’re indicating 7000’ msl 😬 Must have been flying towards rising ground, explains why the flaps were left extended so long and they did not accelerate for some time
If you please read the description of the video you will find a lot of interesting info. Also the info that it was filmed in 2010. Thanks for watching 👍
Great Nation, beautiful Airlines. I personally love Iran. Desire to visit IRI to see the Nothern area beautiful cities. I have already visited Tehran/Mashad and other cities and witnessed the development of IRI despite being strict sanctioned by Europe.
All Iran Air's 747s are either grounded waiting to be scrapped or already scrapped, this perticular aircraft, EP-IAB nicknamed Khorasan did its last flight in 2012 after 36 years and is currently in graveyard since then waiting to be executed. this is probably filmed in 2000s. all the crew in this video is retired i think. i remember flying with one of these exactly on this route(my first international flight), lots of magazines and no flight entertainment, they played something like a podcast during flight and there was audio jacks on the seats but so noisy that you couldn't hear anything. such good times
The SP has the same lower lobe cargo door system/operation as other classic 747s. The only difference is the SP has fairings on the cargo doors that smooth the air flow into the wing since the doors are much closer to the wing with the short SP body.
@@JohnDuffy-c3t this belly door system Was on the Syrian Arab airlines B747 SP were the cargo doors opened and closed the 200 300 400 had a flush that you pressed opened then used to go on to the pickle Knob to close and open the door and reverse To close by pressing the flush back inwards To lock The Syrian SP as far as I remember did Not have a flush system in the belly so you Went on the pickle switch to open and Close doors .
@@RayhanAhmed-qr3vz All the lower lobe cargo doors, forward and aft, have a small panel next to the door where the electric switch is actuated to open and close the cargo door. In addition to the switch, there is a larger handle for opening and closing 2 small vent doors located on the large cargo door. This also varifies that the door is properly locked after closing.
i remember this treatment way back flying in the 747-200 going to the Philippines, mainly i fly coach but i flew business class a couple of times in the mid 90s using my miles and the service and food was amazing. This service reminds me alot of my experience when i flew on northwest frequently. We even had good meal service in coach for domestic flights. What has happened now to this especially in the USA and Canada is it just greed?
Yeah, it sure was better back then, wasn't it. Unfortunately not only in the US, everywhere... Proper meal service is rare these days... Thanks for watching!

آخه از هواپیما چی سر در میاری اونم از یکی از ایمن ترین هواپیماهایه دنیا که مسلما اور حال میشه تا اجازه پرواز بگیره اونم یکی از گرانترین هواپیماهایه دنیا تا چک نشه اجازه پرواز نمیدن بعد بویینگ ۷۴۷ تا حالا سابقه سقوط نداشته ونخواهد داشت بعد این هواپیماها در خود ایران وتحت سخترین آزمایشها اور حال میشه بعد اجازه پرواز بهش میدن اونم تو خط بین المللی.
The Iranian regime is returning a once civilised and modernised country back to stone ages. They are on the path of destruction. Middle Eastern airlines such as Emirate or any other airline have decided not to allow uneducated clerics to rule their country. By the way…. All the clerics in charge of Iran are lackeys of western and Russian powers.
Yes it is an old plane but it's more reliable than most newer planes built today. The power & Speed of this Airplane is amazing I flew on many different planes but the flights I'll always love & remember we're on the Boeing 747-SP

I hope you enjoy this flight on EP-IAB Iran Air 747SP as much as I LOVED filming it. I tried to bring you that feeling of being there. Enjoy!
Does Iran Air serve alcoholic beverages??
Take care out there safe travels important welcome Twitter as much
Great video thanks for the awesome work. I flew on Iran Air Boeing 747 SP and Syrian Air 747 SP I loved both flights..
Ok
Yes

As you said, three set of eyes, three minds being aware is a safety factor. Thanks for watching 👍
Had many flights with this beauty in the IKA-PEK route! always safe and well travelled!
Ah Nice. Yes PEK was an important routw for the 747SP.
Happy to hear you flew her many Times. Thanks for watching.

747 Queen is best Aircraft ever
Couldn't agree more. Long live the queen 👍
Must have been before 2011, there are still Tupolevs at the airport
If you read the description you see it was filmed back in 2010 👍
Loved seeing the Tupolevs.

747 SP Cargo door operation is under the
Belly as compared to the 100 20O 300
And 400.
The SP has the same lower lobe cargo door system/operation as other classic 747s. The only difference is the SP has fairings on the cargo doors that smooth the air flow into the wing since the doors are much closer to the wing with the short SP body.
@@JohnDuffy-c3t this belly door system
Was on the Syrian Arab airlines B747 SP were the cargo doors opened and closed the 200
300 400 had a flush that you pressed opened then used to go on to the pickle
Knob to close and open the door and reverse
To close by pressing the flush back inwards
To lock
The Syrian SP as far as I remember did
Not have a flush system in the belly so you
Went on the pickle switch to open and
Close doors .
This was a same system of closing and opening
Cargo doors of the A321 , A320 .

@@JohnDuffy-c3t I think the Syrian
B747 SP had a different system - this aircraft i use to handle on the ramp at Heathrow
Between 2002 / 2004
Amazing plane I wish to fly
If you haven’t flown the aircraft how do you know it’s amazing?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS SP ? WILL IT EVER FLY AGAIN?
Currently parked in Teheran. Who knows...? 😜

How old is this aircraft ?
32
Iran's planes are very old...!!🤨🤨
almost yunk🥺🥺
Sanctions hit them hard, denying them the ability to buy new aircraft....

Beautiful aircraft.
Unfortunately inside looks like (cabin)
Never been upgraded.
Sorry for the all the passengers..

It’s confusing and mind boggling that Iranian flight attendants wear hijab but not middle eastern (Dubai etc.) how could this be?
Tradition...
The Iranian regime is returning a once civilised and modernised country back to stone ages. They are on the path of destruction. Middle Eastern airlines such as Emirate or any other airline have decided not to allow uneducated clerics to rule their country. By the way…. All the clerics in charge of Iran are lackeys of western and Russian powers.
How many pilots does it take to fly a plane?
Iran: Yes. 😂
Worse airline, worse service.
No air-conditioning, not comfortable seat.
OMG, this Airplane is too old, should be retired and dump it in to the scrapyard.
OH, it is old but Beautiful. Unfortunately this aircraft is retired. Queen of the skies 👍
Yes it is an old plane but it's more reliable than most newer planes built today. The power & Speed of this Airplane is amazing I flew on many different planes but the flights I'll always love & remember we're on the Boeing 747-SP
Manual speed brake deployment?
Good catch.
During the LANDING checklist at 1:48:00 the Flight Engineer reads the challenge “SPEED BRAKES. “The Captain responds “ARMED” but his right hand is still on the throttles. His right hand should have moved from the throttles and lifted the Speed Brake lever and moved it from the forward detent position back to the Armed position. He might have done this step prior to the Flight Engineer reading it, but I’m not sure. Upon landing there are a few requirements that must be satisfied before the Speed Brakes will automatically deploy. First is the landing gear must send an UNTILT signal.

After touchdown there can be a bit of a lag before they auto-deploy, so some pilots just go ahead and pull the lever manually instead of waiting. So either he did not arm the auto spoilers or he just did not want to wait a second or two for the auto deployment.
from 1st class video only? and economy ?
This is one flight from a 4 hour video. Might be economy in the next release.. Don't remember... Stay tuned 👍
