The Captain of Cool .!! Thanks for a very interesting concise clip of the job we would all love to have. You don't get here without an Incredible Resume and Thousands of Hours. Congratulations on your Retirement.
Thanks KE, it was the job of a lifetime and I consider myself extremely lucky to have ended up in this field. This is the PERFECT TIME if anyone is interested in aviation as a career. Lots of openings for pilot jobs and will be for decades to come.
Steve Abdu The GE90-115B on the Boeing 777-200LR has a bit more than 142,000hp per engine making it the worlds most powerful jet engine and can fly for over 22 hours straight without refuelling.☺️
Antonio Rocha, not so. The pilot flying is mainly outside with a quick scan of instruments while the monitoring is just the opposite. Hard to see that from this vantage point.
Good video, would be WAY cool if you would go strap the camera to the front landing gear before takeoff. Im sure theres strict regulations against that though.
Great video captain! During rotation, you mentioned about compensating for the 18knot wind. Out of curiosity, what would happen if you just rotated without any alieron inputs? Would the airplane simply just veer off into the direction of the wind?
The aircraft would tend to drift WITH the wind just as a boat in water would be affected by a cross current. The aileron input compensates for that drift tendency and the rudder input keeps the aircraft down the runway on centerline..
@@steveabdu8767 Thank you for the information. Would you say a bigger widebody like 777 or A330 is less affected by crosswind as opposed to smaller, narrowbody jets like 737? As a passenger, I always feel planes like 777 and 787 are rock solid even during heavy turbulence and crosswind landing, not so much with lighter planes.
@@MrTONYTONYM The heavy aircraft are generally less affected due to their sheer mass. They don't buffet as much and light turbulence is barely noticeable when compared to smaller, lighter aircraft. Thanks for watching!
One thing you'll notice is a shuddering noise and sensation as the mains lift off. That's evident in a DC-9 as well as a 777. If you don't have enough aileron in, the mains scrub as you lift off and it's very evident in the cabin, especially if you're seated over the main landing gear.
wow lots of fuel for take off..How do you define the length of take off though ?is it just after lift off and leaving the tarmac or until you hit a certain altitude ?
Yes, it takes a lot of fuel to get this bird airborne. It varies. There is the distance from throttles up to liftoff and then is 1st and 2nd climb stages in which obstacles must be able to be cleared in the event of a loss of one engine. Here's a great explanation: aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/3310/how-are-take-off-segments-defined Hope this helps! Steve
How long does it take to fly a 777? How many different airplanes do you have to fly to pilot some of the more larger and more advanced aircraft in the United Airlines Fleet?
In airline flying, everything is done by seniority. I have 32 years with the current airline and it has taken a long time to get to the position of flying what, when and where you want to go.
Chris430521 Technically you do have more options as you get older but seniority means bigger aircraft (bigger paycheck), more days off, better destinations. One tends to gravitate to all three of these areas.
Its a Win,Win For all of the older pilots! Anyway, Thanks Captain! I will be looking foward to my pilots career in a-few years, starting with the Airforce and hopefully later to end it with joining United Airlines. Keep up all the amazing 777 cockpit takeoffs and landings, and best of luck with your soon retirement!
Hey Captain, I have a quick question. You seem to be doing a lot of Tel Aviv runs, are the trips divided so pilots get equal share on all routes? Will you be doing other trips like Tokyo or Hong Kong? I just thought it was interesting.
Trip awards are done on a seniority basis, the most senior pilot gets to make their choice and then the next most senior make his choice if pilots senior to him haven't taken the trips already, etc. I bid monthly schedules and depending on the days off I am looking for, some trips work better for my schedule. I'll be retiring in the beginning of June and that will be the end of the inflight videos. Looks like I'll finish up with Tel Aviv trips at this point.
Gor, I really enjoyed the 777 but would have liked more variety in destinations. I retired in June of 2014. United will take delivery of its' first B777-300ER in a few months. 115,000 lbs of thrust and taxi weight of 777,000 lbs. A true MONSTER. Would love to have flown that!

This is what I've been looking for! Thank you Captain!
Thanks. Always cool to see what goes on up front!
Excellent video Capt!
Great video.☺️ My most favourite aircraft is the British Airways Boeing 777-200ER with a set of two GE90 engine and one day, I hope I get to fly it.☺️
Joshua, this aircraft has the GE90-94 engines, approximately 142,000 hp per engine. It's quite the beast but very gentle to land.

Thanks for sharing captain , great video !!!!!! :)
Thank you for the new video! Waiting for more ;-)
I’ve always wanted to fly on a 777.
It is interesting how over 90% of the take off roll is spent eyes on instruments. Both pilots are mostly looking at the panel and not outside.
Antonio Rocha, not so. The pilot flying is mainly outside with a quick scan of instruments while the monitoring is just the opposite. Hard to see that from this vantage point.
Only question I have is why you guys don’t put the ailerons into the direction of the crosswind for takeoff, especially at 18 knots?
Nicely done. Subscribed
AWESOME THANKS FOR SHARE

did you guys de-rate your engines+ the assumed temperature or was it always an assumed temperature takeoff by itself
Very cool

In airline flying, everything is done by seniority. I have 32 years with the current airline and it has taken a long time to get to the position of flying what, when and where you want to go.
So, In this sense, The older you are the the more options you have, the younger you are the less options you have... Correct?

Nice you’re a United Pilot! Is that a 777-200, or a 777-300er.
B777-200 Connor
Steve Abdu wow it just goes on and on I can’t imagine a 777-300.
Do you ever fly EWR to NRT. I'm flying February 6 to go on vacation in Japan!
Chris, I have flown the EWR to NRT trip but not recently. I retired in June of 2014. So if I go, I'll be riding in the back with you!
Steve Abdu thanks for your safe service!
Is there any reason why both electric center HYD pumps can't run simultanously when engines are not running?
There is no restriction but these are high electrical draw items and the redundancy is not required on the ground.

Cool
United airlines pilots are unionized and their union is militating for the anti missile system well done pilots union.
Which carrier is this?
Originally a Continental aircraft, it now flies under the United livery.
Steve Abdu - awesome! Does she fly GUM - HNL? Got a reg# by chance?
@@locoHAWAIIANkane, don't know anymore as I am now retired. Thanks for watching!
B747 meu avião preferido.
Entonces estás en la página equivocada...
Love the triple 7! How do you like flying it compared to other Boeing aircraft?

Steve Abdu awesome! Congratulations on the retirement. I am a little late in finding this video but thanks for the quick reply!
this is UA84 EWR to TLV
