FLYING WITH THE BIG JETS at Sydney Airport
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Approach and landing at Sydney International Airport in a Cirrus SR22. What's it like landing a small plane at a big airport? Hear Air Traffic Control (ATC) calls, watch multiple-camera angles, and see me land at Sydney Airport, then take-off and fly an orbit around Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Aircraft on the ground at Sydney Airport include Qantas Boeing 747, Airbus A330 and A380, Qantaslink Dash 8 Q400, Jetstar A320 and more. Hear me talking to Sydney Approach, Sydney Tower, and Ground, and watch as I land my aircraft at Sydney International Airport (YSSY).

The little Cirrus probably rotates before the large double lines end 😂
That was so cool, the views were stunning. I hate flying lol, terrified lol. Flown a few times interstate from Melbourne. I prefer watching your vids from my couch 😁👍
That is so fn cool! So happy for you Stef!
Gday Stef, love your work mate, it’s very cool to see the ‘flip side of the coin’! As one of the Approach controllers at Sydney it was kinda cool to see your intensity for the descent and subsequent vectors for final! Also reassuring that despite your size you were properly briefed and prepared for your arrival into complex airspace. Pre-pandemic the norm was 900-1000 moves a day and now unfortunately it’s 130ish, the complexity of Sydney’s airspace was entirely derived from its high volume, in the current environment there is nothing complex at all about our work. For what it’s worth you definitely earned a socially distant crisp high five for your professionalism. We cant do it right now of course but if you’re interested in having a look inside the Tower and the TCU (Terminal Control Unit... where we do Approach and Departures) shoot me a message and we can work something out!
Hey Charles, What would your advice be to a student pilot who's trying to familiarize himself with radio calls. Some times I just go completely blank when ATC is talking to me :(
Well that's really nice of you Charles !! Aviators sticking together. Hope you get back up and running soon.
@@thomaszapantis9429 hey mate, i am currently completing my PPL at Moorabbin Airport (YMMB). I can recommend practicing and further familiarising yourself with the lingo by contacting ATC on a flight simulator such as X Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have been playing those games since i was a little kid and my instructor was very impressed that i could structure my communications with ATC correctly on my first attempt.
Thomas Zapantis Thomas Zapantis apologies for the delay in responding. My first piece of advice is to get into the books, in particular AIP Gen 3.4 that’s the phraseology section. Towards the back the section it has all the correct ATC and pilots phrases and responses for most situations. It’s set out from engine start, taxi, take off etc to landing. You don’t need to know every phrase but it’s a good place to start, after reading it a few times in context of some scenarios you’re familiar with they’ll quickly make sense.
Another if you have access to one is a radio scanner, flight radar (the phone app) or watch live traffic from somewhere appropriate. Pick an aircraft, anticipate its next move (takeoff, taxi, touch and go etc) and simulate the radio call and the expected response. We used to do this all time in the sim on ATC course.
Finally A1RTVs suggestion is also great one! There’s enough real people with genuine experience that’ll help.
Hey Charles, sorry I didn't see this comment until now. Thanks for the message and the offer. Can you put your details into the form at the bottom of the page here: www.stef747.com/faqs-contact-stef/ and I'll get in touch. I'd love to take a look around the Tower / TCU at Sydney, I'm sure the viewers would be interested in that too. Thank you.
Did one of the Q400 pilots say hey stef? That’s so cool
yeah he did
Imagine getting recognised by commercial airliners at Sydney International Airport. That would be so awesome!
Time Stamp: 10:35
You're Welcome 👍
Absolutely Awesome! Love the QLink acknowledgement and the footage at 12:12 👍
When are you flying to Brisbane !!
What an awesome experience Stefan. Editing in this one was also fantastic.
Thanks Guiseppe, trying to keep it fresh and be as creative as possible to keep the videos interesting. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the feedback.
9:46 That shot of all the A320s lined up on the runway is so sad.
Who else loves seeing a notification that a new video has been uploaded? When I see the notification, I go make myself a coffee turn on the TV and put on the video as I consume my coffee before I start my workday. I must admit I also watch/ re-watch some of the videos as I am working.
That’s good but I am interested in what you do.
Love the intro reminded me off old spy films with the split screens
So true!
Milkshake's Angels...
@@antoinehanekom4689 *starts designing 'Milkshake's Angels' logo...*
This video left me grinning from ear to ear. Awesome job stefan ! Obviously it's sad about the circumstances. Seeing you flying into SYD and over the harbour was really fun.
Yeah I agree, it’s not under great circumstances. But to keep the airport moving and help the industry whilst it’s quiet I was glad to go visit.
How much did it cost to land at Sydney how much, how much 😂
You should get a discounted rate for both.
TWR Correction, EYZ "Heavy" Cleared to land RWY 34L. :) Glad to see Milk Shake Getting some screen time. hehe Cheers Dion YT: #dionm01
wait a minute... was the plane i saw... you!?
What a great experience! I flew in on Saturday and got to taxi around and the kind ground controller got us to taxi all the way around to TWY H where the 747 was parked. Once in a lifetime experience to see that 747 in a Qantas livery for probably the last time.
Yes good point, that’s a sight we won’t see at Australian airports much longer. Glad you had a great trip too, and I agree the controllers were excellent.
You are the best aviation RUclipsr. You are always very passionate and your videos are of extremely high quality!
That means a lot, thanks Mateo. There are some great content creators out there, I'm glad you enjoy my work.
What 360 camera are you using on your wing? And is it waterproof?
9:48 Closed section of runway for a320 storage. Wow. :(
Wait.... the dash8 said ‘hi stef’?!? That’s soooo cooll! (10:35)
Great little take off film sequence. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed making that one. Thanks Luke 👍
4:35 Milkshake is seated and belt on, things about to get serious
Damn microsoft flight sim 2020 looks great
Hi Stef I was Wondering if we could have a video of your uncut start up pre flight check and taxi out. Also I saw you on Flight Radar24 and rushed outside to watch you fly over head when you left yssy
Great video mate! Now you MUST FLY TO YBBN (Brisbane Int), especially since the new runway has finished its construction and will open very soon!
Waaaay back in the 80s when I was learning, I did a Navex that included orbits over North Head and the harbour with a landing on 16R. That was in a Grumman AA5 and I felt very insignificant being up there with all the heavies. Even with an intersection departure, I could have taken off twice in the distance available!!!!
As I don't fly anymore, it's great to get back in the seat with you-virtually.
Next up Brisbane international
Fly into Adelaide or Perth or Tasmania
Nice work Stef , great video , when I landed at JFK in the cirrus , I was arriving behind an A350 , and as I taxied back for departure a 777 took off , wow the size of those planes when your down low on the taxiway is unreal .. Nice to see Sydney from the air .. Last weekend I finally went Real IFR in the cirrus , I did a GPS approach and broke out at 700ft .. tried a new camera angle too on my flight , check it out if you have time .. Well done , safe skies ..
Just the other day, I saw one of these beautiful birds crash into the the Solent (in the UK) The CAPS system it is equipped with certainly saved the pilot and passengers life. Wish i could get my Pilots licence, but my colour vision prevents me :( Happy Flying!
Qantas 747 in the background, amazing.
Who disliked this ????????😡
GA at a major International , VFR in a big city,, Beautiful weather,
You sure this isn't just a sneak preview at FS2020?
Haha, yes well since I got my new joystick and this really epic graphics card, these sorts of videos are really easy to make. Next week - landing at Heathrow!
@@StefanDrury Thanks for the reply!
Quick question, is the front great jutter on both landings normal. Seemed a bit extreme compared to other vids
really love how humble you are at the end, and how good it is to see someone genuinely enjoying their passion. this if what flying is about
Congrats on 69k subs!
You look like someone famous from a movie but I don’t know who. Has anyone ever said that you look like someone fous
Famous
Wonderful good...
New Zealand ?
Great video.
The runway length is kinda surreal to me, but to be fair that literally is the longest operational runway in Australia.
I ran the numbers, and yeah runway 34L is probably just about long enough for the Topaz that I fly. Could comfortably do 14 full-stop landings and takeoffs in a row...
Also it's cool to see you flying above the steps to stay in Sydney's class C airspace - I always fly under the steps to stay out of Melbourne's class C, which in my case means staying under 2500 feet until I'm a bit further out than my airfield.
Did a flight into SYD when a student under instruction and later as a PPL before they charged. Lined up and was about #6 behind a range of domestic and international jets. VFR 18 October 1979 CB-SY-BK-CB PA28-161 YVK. Again 24 December and 29 December and Nov 11 and 12 1980. One of the advantages of learning to fly in a Primary Control Zone.
i saw u on flightrader24 on friday
Thanks for tracking EYZ!
Very sad to see all those aircraft waiting for the borders to reopen. Hopefully it's soon. Thank you for the videos. I love flying and find it to be an emotional experience myself. It's great to see that this is an industry full of passionate people and I believe Australia has the best air industry in the world. 💖👍
As far as my own experiences have been thus far, people flying smaller planes tend to have this irrational fear of flying into the TMA of a larger commercial airport. Sure, the landing fees are a deterrent in of themselves, but the ATC is (usually) super accommodating and helpful, as that is their job. I was lucky enough to have started my training right next to a busy international airport, which meant that we got used to communicating with their ATC on almost every single flight, getting used to listening the busier frequencies and getting efficient on our own comms, but even without that experience, it's nothing to be afraid of. So I'd really recommend taking Stefans example here and going for it! Call ahead (as you should whenever flying to a new airport) and study the local practices from AIS. It's a great experience under your belt and a nice confidence booster.
Any plans to fly into Canberra international next?
Well that brings back memories. I did my training at Bankstown in 1982. After one trip to the north, on the way back my instructor asked if we could land at Sydney. Approaching 19 (now 19R) tower told us to keep our speed up and take the first high speed taxiway left, as we were being followed by a (from memory) 747 with it's flaps hanging out. We were pedaling as fast as possible and they were riding the brakes downhill. We taxied round to the GA parking. When we left, we departed 07 from what is now D, don't need much runway in a little Cessna, right turn then direct Bankstown.
Couldn't do that now (except during this shutdown).
I really want to concentrate..........proceeds to fiddle with Milkshake!
Loved this Stefan. I used to fly in and out of Sydney as a private pilot back in the early eighties. I kept 747s waiting while I trundled in flying a Warrior or Archer. Sydney Harbour scenics are still the best of my memories. I was able to get clearances to fly around Sydney Tower (CentrePoint) in those days and wave to the people on the observation deck. I can't imagine doing that now. My first commercial flying job was flying a reporter around Sydney Harbour on the Bicentennial Day (1988) to report on the tall ships. It was a glorious day flying round and round the harbour with airships, helicopters, light aircraft and heavy aircraft just 500' apart vertically.
STEFS AUSSIE AIRPORT LANDING SERIES
Haha. Now I need a title graphic!
Great video Stef, as always. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible experience of landing at Sydney International. Look forwards for the next video. Keep up the great work, and stay safe! 👍🤗
After T/O Checklist:
Unbuckle Milkshake, change to Panorama View Seat.
Before Landing Checklist:
Leave Panorama Deck, buckle up again.
You have every right to be excited. It *is* amazing. I was all set to do a flight out of Bankstown last time I was there but the weather had other ideas. :-(
The sight picture on short final looked very familiar. My home airport (CYKA) has a huge runway with PAPIs that are configured for 737s and Q400s. If you fly the PAPI in a little putt putt like mine you'll land long. Since there are only two exits off the runway you usually want to land long anyway. :-)
Yeah it felt like I was really high over the threshold flying the PAPIs down, but I followed them knowing the turnoff was way down the runway as you said. Thanks for sharing that experience Laura, and glad you enjoyed it.
Stefan, don't apologise for being giddy, I was giddy just watching it! Thanks for the content mate, great as always. I reliase that this is an old one, but I'm trying to do a full lap (or should I say circuit) of your content because I love it so much
This made me happy.. Did my training at YSBK in 2005, have done a few Victor 1 scenic flights over the years, but have newer landed a GA aircraft at YSSY.
Great video mate.
Nice one Stef , it’s sad that so many planes are on the ground , but every cloud ........ Enjoy !
Another great vid, Stefan. Wonderful views! One question and one OCD comment... Have you considered a RAM mount for the iPad? I place it in the lower left side of the windshield and it works great. The comment is... maybe those seatbelt buckles should be more centered? (yes, totally OCD, I know, I apologize)
Knew you could this !! FANTASTIC FLIGHT mate and well done as always !! Hope Milkshake enjoyed it !! Best line " Echo Yankee Zulu cleared to land "" Magnificent !! So sad mate as I Melbourne to see such little activity at Sydney ( Mascot ) Airport..awful !! I should have used its correct title Kingsford Smith Airport !! No wake turbulence after United ?? Like you Stef I lived in Sydney but for a fair proportion of my life before moving to Melbourne and the Harbour never ceases to amaze me and on a day like you had for flying...brilliant !!
What have you tried to fly? I have tried to fly a Cessna 160 in Alaska right before the virus, Piper PA28 with landing all done by myself:) and a Aeroprakt A22L from the Ultra Light Flightclub in Danmark which is my home country. Great experiences!
Oh thank you that was wonderful I do hope that after your operation you come back to us fighting fit for more flying we love you kind regards Christine and Max xx
Ah memories. Fly up from Wollongong, coastal, down to 500ft, Victor 1, up to Manly with a request for a Harbour Scenic. Below the cliff tops at South Head. Orbit Manly, receive clearance for a Scenic, east of the bridge, north of the opera house, watch & listen to the heavies departing SYD, magic!!
When is the landing at YBBN video coming stef?
Not allowed into QLD at this stage, but I’d like to see the new airport runway.
@@StefanDrury also how did you deal with the wake turbulence from the departing 787-9 heavy ?
Coolest moment in my flight training so far was when we were holding short of the runway and we heard a Boeing 737-MAX call from behind us. My CFI snapped pictures as I taxied out. I kinda hope I gave the pilots of the big bird some nostalgia as I executed a wobble af took off in my itty bitty Cessna 152. Dealing with 737s at my airport is common as it's a regional hub in Canada, but that experience was just bloody cool.
Only found your channel today mate. Great to see an Aussie aviation RUclipsr, and flying an aircraft that's achievable for many a pilot. As for me, I'm sadly too fat (about 135kg) and too poor (on DSP) for the aviation world. At least I can live vicariously through videos like yours, and MSFS.
Fly to Perth Scotland...
JK Fly to Perth Australia
Hi Stefan!!! Long time no writting to you. If that was a recent video ¡¡¡¡I´m so glad to see Milkshke back on board!!!!! ¿Have you recovered the original or is she just a replacement? Nice video! Your thrill is so contagious! As always, a big hugg from northeast patagonia, Argentina.
Melbourne, now Sydney.....Where do you do go from here?! Love these vids!
Wow! The words 'Cleared To Land' were so clean and understandable. I saw a post where a pilot was arguing with San Francisco tower over speech clarity. The ATC repeatedly said 'CLITTERLAR' instead of 'Cleared To Land'. Some viewers excused ATC claiming that abbreviated dialogue is required at busy airports. What? All the more reason to be precise with flight instructions. And don't get me started on some East Coast Airports. Their speech is so muffled you would think they had a mouthful of donuts.
By the way Stefan, excellent vid.
I saw you and EYZ at Bankstown on Thursday, I was the Warrior taking off right before you (you probably don't even remember). I am a student so my takeoff was probably embarrassing. Anyway, nice seeing you in real life.
I'm doing my CPL at Adelaide, Port Linkon do plan a flight here
Great video mate. Really made me smile! The weather looked delightful as well! Glad you get to experience your boyhood dreams! Go For it!
Awesome stuff. Come by East Sale for an approach for your next video!
Next do Adelaide as it’s only $30
Adelaide is a simple airport though. And the closest GA airport, Parafield, is very busy due to a flight school (dual runways). So it could be intresting.
Why anyone would want to pay the outrageous fees to land at Sydney is beyond me. RUclips must be paying a lot for 125K subscribers. At least he can write most of it off as a tax deduction. Landing fees on a flight to Melb or Sydney just would be hard to dispute and really make the Tax return look good.
Nice work Stef! Next stop - NZFX, McMurdo Station...?
Just an awesome video/flight. Great adventures buddy, enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and fly safe. :)
Hi, Stef Brisbane? Maybe to far.
We’re not allowed into Queensland right now, but they have a new runway there and I’d like to check it out one day yeah.
@@StefanDrury Yea I can't wait until it opens in July
WOW
I realise this is from in the middle of covid when no one was flying in but the closest I have heard of anything like this happening at Auckland Airport was a GA pilot doing a low pass along the runway after spending about three weeks getting permission to do just that.
I started flying in the early 80s down the south coast of NSW. One day we decided to go into Mascot - when you could - we flew up the light aircraft corridor and just past Wollongong we had to climb to get up into controlled airspace - we were in a Piper Warrior. Once cleared for we headed for Mascot trundling along at our 100kts - air traffic asked if we could make 140kts as there was a 747 behind us - emmm no. Anyway landed and taxied around to take back off - taxing around behind a 747 with another behind was a bit concerning. Taking off after the 747 was also a worry but air traffic had all in hand and didn't even feel any wake onn takeoff - arh the good old days and no landing fees.
Where was that little peninsula that you took a video of as you were turning left with camera straight ahead I think? I can't find it on Google maps. It looks pretty cool.
Absolutely awesome video! Please share your landing fees again, it really takes the edge off the jealousy, lol. Did you fly the whole way and back without even a bathroom break? If so, that's amazing!! You should include your bladder's fortitude, and be proud of it!!
Haha, no I landed at Bankstown (that’s the end shot) for a refuel and a comfort break. There were a few adventures on the trip home too, that’s in the next video. Thanks for watching.
Just thinking your landing fees at Melbourne and Sydney are probably 2-3 lessons of flying for me.
I just saw this video and I’m now going to sign up for my pilots license. Maybe one day I’ll fly this same route. Great content tho.
If you could again you should try Canberra airport maybe?
Brisbane next? The parallel runway opens next month.
Did you have to get prior approval or contact your contacts at Air Services like you did at YMML?
That must have been a amazing experiance! This was also a awesome video to watch, Thanks a lot!:)
It was, one I’ll remember for a long time. Thanks Leon.
I know nothing about aviation, I stumbled across this video and was glued to the whole thing. Looking through the comments you guys seem to know what you're talking about and might be able to answer a few questions. Stefan mentioned he had to jump through a few hoops to set up these landings, were the guys in the tower aware they were doing him a bit of a favour? Did they know how excited he was to be landing at these airports? I understand this was possible due to the fact there is limited air travel at the moment and probably wouldn't have happened if things were "normal".
I SAW YOUR PLANE! U flew past my house
11:23 That giant train station underneath the nose of the plane on the right side is Central station which is the largest train station in Australia
I haven't read all the comments, but I think this is begging to be asked:
How much did it cost you?
What a great video and flight. Thankyou so much.
I really love your video's and share what it's like to be a private pilot
I’m so privileged to live in this beautiful city, welcome to Sydney
Watching you Taxi around reminds me of "The Langoliers"
Dear Stef, I discovered your channel yesterday and your content is just what I was looking for. I would really like to join you on one of your flights. Unfortunately I live far away in germany :(
Cheers
Thanks for joining the channel Tolga, great to have you in the community. Hope you’re doing ok over in Germany, and thanks for watching the videos.
No worries. There are amazing areas in Germany to fly as well. Go to your local flying club and talk to people. If you get in touch with the right ones, the'll take you up for a ride. Has worked for me until I got my own license :)
@@StefanDrury Thanks mate! I would really like to know more about you personally. Seems like you have an interessting life background. Keep the spirit :D
@@Juhujalp Thanks, I am looking forward to get my license. It will probably take a while. I might start the process after study is finished.
I really hope that I grow up to successfully get my pilot license and work for a commercial airline or have my own plane, it’s financing the training etc... that I’m more afraid of
Saw you I think recently. I live in the Waverley area a lot of aircraft heading into Moorabbin fly close to my house . A very neat looking low wing plane went over, was too far away too pick up the rego.
Its so upsetting to see those Jetstar A320s and a couple of Virgin 737s grounded as all of those planes are out of storage now.
Have got advice for returning pilots after years away from flying
When the ATC say G’day when you enter their airspace they’re not helping the stereotypes
nice video well donne keep up the good work brother stefan drury a+
may have seen you come in on the flightradar! have seen a lot of light aircraft around Sydney International and overhead my house considering the lack of jets and its been awesome
