This is such a cool vantage point! As a transportation fan, whenever I'm in a plane, I've often wished I could see and hear what goes on in the cockpit when the crew is preparing for takeoff. At 4:29, that growling sounded like the front landing gear retracting. The constant communication between the towers and aircraft is impressive and gives a good picture of the safety oriented mindset of these professionals that so many in the public take for granted.
If not mistaken, this was recorded as part of the CNBC special "American Airlines, a Day in the Life" about the operations of the airline. Specifically this video shows AA's signature transcon flight, the famous JFK to LAX flight no. 1, early morning out of New York on a Boeing 767.
Awesome video, when you start showing and informing people of what we don't see in the back of the plane, you make me and I am sure others know how safe this really is. I now feel better flying than driving on a busy freeway. You guys do so much training, I know because I have a brother-in-law that flies for Delta to Europe and he is constantly training, My kudos to you guys, Great job, Michele.
Just to be clear, 18,000ft is the transition level for the states. Depending on the country the transition to flight levels can change. For example, in Australia its 10,000ft.
The flight crew and ATC were very professional and their professionalism lends great dignity to a beleagured industry. They made their jobs look easy, and it's evident they have thousands of hours at their posts. Note the crew coordination and division of tasks. Thanks to those who put this great video together.
This is such a cool vid, man! Usually, we dont hear & see all that's going on in the flight deck, but this vid does both. Congrats - very exciting video!
Wow I never knew the used the Tracmar (Batmobile) in those days. They just brought those back to use on the ramp. Nice to see a video of the pilots that work for my company. Hopefully I get out of maintenance and finish my Journey on becoming a pilot :)
I love this video (film). I wish my dad was still alive to watch the "New Modern expertise, of the modern pilots, and ground control. This is a fantastic piece of work, in order to let everybody know how hard it is to do the pilot and second officers job. And the flight controllers seen really good, and proper.
Cannot praise you enough for this very interesting video. That great sound of no rock music was wonderful. Bet there aren't five more like this that let you hear REAL background with no music.
had to watch this again. really good video. these guys are true pros, the kind i want flying my ride. i was a freight train conductor and it was similar, you had to repeat every movement from the dispatcher, yardmaster and trainmaster , and call every signal on the radio. only difference is that these guys have great clear sounding radios, noise on locomotives is terrible, you can hardly hear anything they say
@squellock HEAVY is a prefix used before "heavy" airplanes, that is heavier than 136.000 kg if I am not mistaken. Normally all Boeings, Airbus etc are "heavy". The superjumbo A380 is classified as "SUPER" and uses the prefix "super".
Hello seamcon15, On General Aviation we have push to talk keys on the yoke or very rarely on the headset. On the more modern jets like the 767 there is also a PTT key. It is on the Yoke, however you can have it on the glareshield also as an optional extra.
@Bazajt It is used usually when the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) installed in the back of the plane is inoperative, they have to start one engine with a ground air cart and disconnect the cart after starting one of the engines. You hear one of the pilots talking about a crossbleed start, it is where they use air off the started engine to start the remaining engine(s) hope this helps some.
This is part of a video called "American Airlines, a week in the life." Its about AA and the aviation industry in general. If you have netflix you can watch it.
AA1, a twin aisle 762 is designated a heavy jet due to the amount of wake turbulence it produces. Which, can affect other aircraft behind them but more so when taking off or landing after a heavy. Thus the controllers put greater separation between the aircraft. The number of nautical miles of separation required is determined by the max takeoff weight of the heavy jet. Smaller jets can also be classified as heavy, such as 757 - a single aisle version of the 767.
The First Officer is an amazing Pilot himself with all the communications!!!
The Captain who is now retired was one of my scuba instructors!
For all those wondering, this is a sequence from CNBC's documentary (2006) "Inside American Airlines, a week in the life"
I have it
The footage looks mid to late 90s though
There is no way this was a professional documentary. The camera work and camera equipment is amateur at best
@@griffith211 this is a raw uncut snippet. Filmed in 2005. Watch the whole thing. Pretty well put together
I remember watching this during the 2006 Christmas Denver Blizzard!
2:30 Now THAT is a beautiful plane.
+coolkirk1701 yes the beautiful Boeing 767-200 :)
If I had enough money and was certified, I would buy a 767-200ER
Good luck finding one for sale lol

I remember watching part of this video on CNBC over 10 years ago. It was a documentaty on American Airlines.
lots of people watching them at the gate

Thanks for posting this. It's so neat to see what goes on in the cockpit that we take for granted.
Awesome video !!Thanks for the birdseye view into what you awesome pilots do on a day to day basis. Very educational and also very entertaining
Thank you for showing us this. The cockpit video is always something I have wanted to see but have never seen. 5 stars.
this is the sweetest video i have seen on youtube, I love how you have all the communications in this, it makes the video

Oh man.. love the video. I sat here and watched the entire thing. Thanks, whomever recorded it all!

Wow! Loved every moment. Great photography. Thanks.
Great video ... Thanks for posting!
So much going on and coordination that so many people (who fly) don't appreciate!
It's really cool to see what happens up there. Great to see everyone being so courteous too. Thanks!
This is such an awesome video! Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks to those who put this great video together.
Amazing video! Thank you! This has kinda eased up my extreme fear of flying knowing what goes on behind the cockpit.
Outstanding footage here! Good way to show people who have never seen the behind the scenes footage what the Flight Crew does with any type of flight!
love how courteous everyone seems to be with each other. great vid!
The 767 is a great and proven airplane. Flown on it many times!
0:44 Cindy? Another cup of coffee would be great, thank you 😀
I love this video. The best cockpit video I have seen.
This is such a cool vid, man! Usually, we dont hear & see all that's going on in the flight deck, but this vid does both.
Congrats - very exciting video!
To all hard-working flight crews, bravo ! And thanks for the upload, I had always wanted to have an idea what it was like in the cockpit.
What a story, to make it to the pinnacle of two careers. Amazing. Congratulations Al.
Thank you for your time spent making a great video.
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! it makes me be a pilot even more now!!!!! great vid i love it!

Sweet! Thank you to whoever was responsible for posting this, it was really fun to watch!
the best video about planes I have ever seen! well done! keep up the good work!
One of the best videos on RUclips.
I've always found it amazing that it only takes 2 pilots to fly a plane the size of a Boeing 767 and bigger. Man I LOVE this video!!
cool - these guys are very good. How they talk that talk so fast under the pressure is amazing.
Looks like that van at 9:26 got T-boned.
Nice catch
Probably the best aviation video on RUclips
Great video ! Thanks.
Fabulous video!
Beautiful video...
Amazing!! a must watch!

Thankyou Gussyjetman, very fascinating video.
Watching a video like this always reminds me that we take flying for granted. Amazing.
Great video Ecxelant Just Great Dont have words to describe it just perfect
Wow I never knew the used the Tracmar (Batmobile) in those days. They just brought those back to use on the ramp. Nice to see a video of the pilots that work for my company. Hopefully I get out of maintenance and finish my Journey on becoming a pilot :)
Saw this on CNBC special about AA. It's nice to hear cockpit audio without narration.
Just imagine how it must feel to fly flight 1 for the American Airline. That's a big deal.
cjracer1000 What’s the big deal?
@@griffith211 it’s Americans flagship flight. Very popular
Excellent - thanks for uploading.
I love this video (film). I wish my dad was still alive to watch the "New Modern expertise, of the modern pilots, and ground control.

Professional job with multi camera positions. Thank you.
great piece!!
Cannot praise you enough for this very interesting video. That great sound of no rock music was wonderful. Bet there aren't five more like this that let you hear REAL background with no music.
Kudos to the FIrst Officer, your commuincation skills are Amazing !!!
very nice view of AA crew at work!
Great Video. The Capitan sounded like a mob boss. That NYC/NY accent gave me flash back to the sopranos. Sounds like my pops.
Excellent Video
Great tour thank you for shared
Incredible video

Thank you very much deltaA330. I really appreciate that.
