Yep. The pilot gets only one go at the turn point. Stuff it up and he will either need a tug to pull him around or more serious get a bogey buried in the grass.
Love these videos. Had a classmate who became a commercial pilot for American who flew New York to Heathrow, that was his long time route. Maybe two jaunts a week. It takes a lot to run one of these ships.
Great bit of cockpit footage. When I saw the turning point I thought that would be tough for a truck let alone an airliner! Get the tarmac man out quick! Very scenic runway though and wow, what a modern plane the a350 is.
What a great vantage point. The professionalism is incredible. The stress level on takeoff and landings must be extremely high. The training that you got is top of the line and we thank you.
Quel bonheur de voir ce décollage d'une piste que j'ai connue dans les années 1958 à 1968. L'aéroport à l'époque était de l'autre coté de la piste (là ou on voit la tour de contrôle) et les avions étaient des Super Constellation, puis des B707 de la Pan Am et d'Air France (ceux d'Air France portaient des noms de châteaux) Un des premiers 707 avait le train d'atterrissage qui avait cédé lors d'un atterrissage, Puis il y a eu le crash de Dehaies !! :( Habitant au Raizet, nous allions avec les copains pécher au bout de la piste dans la Rivière Salée et on ne nous disait rien. Nos voyage se faisaient le plus souvent en bateau (en général l'Antilles et une fois l'Irpinia) entre le Havre et Pointe à Pitre et en avion entre Pointe à Pitre et Orly.

Its been explained on other forums but I still find it amazing that pilots (Airbus) have the dexterity to manipulate the joystick with either hand. No doubt Boeing find it intriguing also, hence the longevity of the yoke.
But you have to do the same thing with the yoke because you need the other hand for the thrust levers… Boeing pilots also need to be able to use either hand
We don't realise the amount of preparation that goes into our flights and keeping us safe, while we're just sitting there waiting on the drinks trolley to come lol
Hi good aftrnoon,,, greetings and congrautlations of share your video,, Nice to see once again video of the conversation beetwin the pilotes and the tower of control,,, before take of,,, have a good time JP,,, your friend Oscar de Playa del Carmen Q R México,,,
Question for the pilots out there.... The pilot on the left is obviously using his left arm to control the aircraft. Do they ever practice with the other arm by switching seats or being in a simulator in the other chair?
Usually you always start out as the first officer and fly that right-hand side position for a few years before you can become the captain, and therefore, fly on the left side. It is an interesting topic though, so far I only got my private pilot license, and during training, I ALWAYS flew the aircraft from the pilot's seat, so in real life, I'm used to nothing but flying with the left hand. Though if you've got a flightsim and suitable equipment at home, you can very easily practice switching hands, and eventually, you can do both just as well
@@guitarheaven1747 Interesting. Due to the fact that in fact, both do work together and simultaneously, back up each other, is there any difference in fact between between beeing a Captain and the First Officer, except the salary of course ?! On a 2 pilot configuration like this one, no break, they are always working fo the whole 8 / 9 hours flight ?
@@christbdx Well, that depends very much on the hours, as well as the assigned role. When you start flying as a copilot, you usually have only a CPL (IR) or an MPL, and the full ATPL you only get once you have at least 1500 hours of flight experience (plus several other conditions that would take too long to list here). You need that license to even become captain in the first place, and often, copilots are legally not allowed to fly as captain since they're still flying for their hours or have not yet undergone training to be allowed as the captain. At the same time though, two pilots can actually have the same ATP licenses, but still one is assigned captain, and the other copilot, which is then usually done by the airline beforehand (as far as I know, I'm in an integrated ATPL course, but still just in my second month). So even if both have technically the same privilege, then there will still be one to have the final word as the commander of the flight, regardless of who is the Pilot on command on that flight, which is a different matter. Which means, they can share the same workload, they can both do the same tasks and could even already have the same licenses, but as a captain, the highest in the command chain with the additional captain training and the one to take matters into one's hands when things get hairy, you will still be the one who in the end always gets more money. Hope I summed that up correctly, tried my best😅

The degree of difficulty with that turn at the end of the runway in order to line up for takeoff is very high. Amazing job!

It turns better if you use both engines

It's a single runway also used as taxiway? There appears to be plenty of empty land on both sides that could be used to add some taxiways.
Yes, quite a few places in the Caribbean require runway back track

Sadly those flights are usually real "bétaillères", cattle transports, as they stuff way too much passengers on those planes, like they were mere short domestic hops...
But they all take between 7 and 9 hours !
Air Caraïbes is a pretty good carrier though.
The peak season is usually during metropolitan France's winter when thousands of French mainlanders flock to the sun of these islands.
BTW I was conceived on the other large island, Martinique as many other other of my fellow nationals.
It's a baby making factory as these islands are popular honeymoon destinations.
I’ve never seen a plane have to taxi to the start of the runway and turn around before. I didn’t know that was a thing. Wow!
