  • Vintage footage of me in 2018 taking you on a flight from Houston to London.
    A quick overview of a longhaul Boeing 777 flight from Houston Intercontinental Airport to London Heathrow Airport.
    Join me at the airport, on the apron and in flight to get a glimpse of my life in the air!

    That was great to see a whole flight thru a captain's eyes. TYVM for producing it for us. :-)

    Great video. When you arrive at the aircraft in this video, it's already powered up. Who typically starts it up from cold and dark, the ground engineers? Thanks

    • @asarsealex
      @asarsealex 19 дней назад +3

      It’s never really powered down. Will usually be left with engineers on external power and taken over in the same way

    Friend of mine bangs the engine cowl several times with his fist. The idea being that if someone has left a spanner or whatever in there it will rattle and he will hear the vibration. He says over 20 years he has found one spanner...

    • @mikep9604
      @mikep9604 10 дней назад +1

      There is a difference between Europe and the USA. In the US first officers wear 3 stripes already at the beginning of the career. But in Europe it is a common principle that at the beginning of the career the first officers wear 2 stripes, and when they get 1500 flight hours they start to wear 3 stripes (and then can be called a senior first officer).

    Sincere question...I thought 3 stripes was first-officer. What am I missing?

    • @ATRFLYER
      @ATRFLYER 11 дней назад

      Many foreign airlines utilize the following…..1 stripe for 2nd Officer, 2 for Junior First Officer, 3 for Senior First Officer, and of course 4 stripes for the Captain.

      Hi! So it depends on the airline. Some you get to senior first officer once you gain 1500 hours, others it with a certain amount of years' service, and with others it's when you have passed your command assessment awaiting command (as in my previous airline). My current airline it's after 4 years continuous service. So it's not one answer here!
