    Welcome to the captain's club, where the skies are our playground, and the clouds are our canvas. You've earned your stripes, and now it's time to spread your wings and embrace the responsibilities and privileges that come with being a captain.
    Just like me, you've proven your mettle in the cockpit, and now you're ready to command the skies. The thrill of flying takes on a whole new dimension from the captain's seat, and I have full confidence that you'll navigate the skies with skill, precision, and the same passion that brought you here.
    So, here's to you, Captain You're one of us now, a captain in every sense. The aircraft itself is all in capable hands. May your flights be smooth, your landings be gentle, and your adventures be countless.
    Flying starts now, Captain! The skies await your command. Buckle up, soar high, and enjoy the incredible journey that lies ahead. Congratulations once again, and blue skies always!

    For the Air Canada landing, they’re landing on the south runways in Toronto. With the wind from the north (right of the aircraft), it passes around the main terminal, causing well-known mechanical turbulence. As a pilot based there I felt it all the time.
    If you fly in and out of YYZ and land on 06L or 06R with a north wind, it’s usually a rocky ride due to that mechanical turbulence.

    • @rampmonkeyyyj
      @rampmonkeyyyj Месяц назад +1

      @@SEBBARU Generally speaking, they won’t switch to the 33s or 15s until the crosswind component exceeds 25kts, because doing so significantly reduces traffic flow (arrival and departure rates). Airline pilots and commercial jets can perform in these conditions without issue, other than perhaps an occasional unstable approach leading to a go around. Max crosswind component on a dry runway is often in the 35kt range (although this is aircraft/operator specific).

    I know the fact that the planes fly is supposed to be the impressive part of aviation, but I will always be in awe of the landing gear... They almost never fall off, and still work when they're pointed the wrong way, or lose their tires. Also: congrats Captain!

    • @marcmcreynolds2827
      @marcmcreynolds2827 4 месяца назад +7

      "They almost never fall off" Perhaps even more impressive is that they stay put as well as they do even though they are designed to fall off under certain loading conditions: In order to reduce the chance of a wing fuel tank rupture from the landing gear poking through after a runway departure, a "weak spot" is designed into the landing gear so that a main gear will collapse backwards and depart behind the wing. On a DC-9, for example, that weak spot (though still very strong) is the metal pin that the landing gear strut pivots on.

    • @zlm001
      @zlm001 4 месяца назад +5

      Especially because they are fairly complex as well with the various ways they must turn and fold to fit inside the airplane. It's kind of phenomenal that sav A380 or 747 can land at 30 degree angle and the gear can withstand that sideways force as well as the usual backwards force. Then they're are the impact forces they need to take.

    • @marcmcreynolds2827
      @marcmcreynolds2827 4 месяца назад +4

      @@zlm001 One thing which helps in regard to to side forces is that a tire can only resist a certain amount before it skids, limiting side load to about 0.8 of whatever the vertical load is... and then that load drops to somewhat less if skidding starts (because sliding friction is less than "static" friction).
      It turns out that impact forces are normally less than the braking forces soon to follow, for a couple of reasons: The shock strut's air spring reduces the peak dynamic load quite a bit; Spoiler deployment doesn't come until after peak touchdown loads, and until those spoilers are out most of the aircraft weight is still supported by wing lift (if the flare is done properly). So the various landing loads are "spread out" in time rather than everything piling on all at once.

    I used to fly a lot. *A lot.* Mixed business and pleasure. During my "flight hiatus", which lasted a number of years, I stumbled upon 74 Gear and Mentour Pilot, and began watching just about every video from these channels.
    Very recently, I went on a couple of flights, the first one to Norway, and the second one to Switzerland. Suddenly, most of the signs along the taxiways made sense, and I knew much more about what was happening during the different phases of flight.
    Being the geek that I am, I GPS tracked some of the flights (for some reason, I couldn't get a signal inside an ATR 72), and studied the logged data afterwards. I could see the exact taxiways and runways that were used, and also the take-off and touchdown points. (The first plane landed smack on the 1000 foot marker, and the second seemed to float a bit.) I could see the turns to base and final, and could even see when the planes caught the localizer and glide slope. For fun, I calculated the angle of a glide slope, and got disturbingly close to 3°.
    I thank you, Kelsey (and Petter from Mentour Pilot), for making flying interesting again! ☺

    I usually don't comment on videos but since i watched Jerry's Livestream that day I replayed the sequence of the 777's a few times to see what I can learn. There are a few basic aero phenomena the pilots are caught by. When airplanes descend into ground effect ailerons increase in sensitivity and elevator sensitivity decreases as they are being shrouded partly in the wake of the wing. Plus the 777 has like all airliners weight on wheel sensors. You can clearly see that the plane responds very well to roll inputs....maybe a bit faster that the pilots expected but it's really the pitch attitude that messes up their landing in the end. In order to prevent the plane from taking back off, the pilots apply quite a bit of downward elevator but the response is slow and the 777 touches down quite gently however lifts back up yet the weight on wheel system had already kicked in and the spoilers are extending. Also bear in mind that Stall AOA in ground effect is lower. The combination of reduced stall AOA, spoilers up and nose down elevator in the end slams the plane down for the second touchdown.

    I took flying lessons at Ft Eustis, VA. My instructor was a retired Air Force Colonel pilot 6:23 and knew what he was doing. I was not yet learning to land. The crosswinds that day were bad and he had to crab. He came in sideways and at the last minute turned to be straight on the runway for a perfect landing. It scared me so bad that I said no more. That was my last lesson.❤❤❤

    Hello Kelsey and congrats Cap! I too subscribe to BIGJETS and was watching live that day when the American 777 performed that pucker landing. The very next thing that I thought was: "I do hope that Kelsey is watching this and will comment on it"! Wish fulfilled!! Thanks and I figured that it wasn't a stable approach along with a bit of wind shear that got them. Not to mention that it was a flight (if I remember correctly) from LAX landing at Heathrow and the pilot(s) just weren't as fresh as if it was a shorter flight.

I'll never forget flying out of Kansas City International on a 737 towards the east ( I can't remember the runway heading) and it seemed like we weren't more than 400 feet when we went into a right bank that left me looking at the ground, or so I thought. The plane was in control the whole time, I just wasn't aware that large aircraft could do such things. As it turned out, there are, or were, restrictions in place about low flying aircraft overflying certain areas in that direction. Thanks for helping all of us understand how things work around airports and what it really takes to safely fly a large aircraft.

    I was on the second plane in this video: Nov. 13th AC002 from Haneda Tokyo to Toronto. The approach from the northwest requires a fairly sharp late turn to line up with the east to west runways. It felt like we were high the entire approach. If you listen to the commentary from the original plane spotter he said, in real time, that we were floating down the runway. From my seat I could see we were high above the runway threshold. It seems like the pilots were determined to get us down onto the runway after a long flight and ignored the signs that the approach wasn't right. From inside the plane this was the most frightening landing in my life. Should have gone around.

I’ve learned so much from your videos that I actually looked forward to getting on a plane to go somewhere fun. I’ve even flown alone which I never thought I’d ever do. You’ve helped me understand that it takes a lot of things to go wrong for an air disaster and flying is very safe. Question, does the FAA allow pilots to wear sunglasses? Would they be effective with that kind of sunlight on the horizon.
