Of all of the vids I've seen about commercial flights be it passenger or cargo, this is the 1st one I've seen where the flight crew used the "Auto-Land" system. The flight Crews always land the aircraft themselves. I enjoy watching their skill and talent in controlling these modern marvels of aircraft!!
That was an outstanding narration of how the auto-pilot works upon landing. Captain, your explanations are clear and concise! Loved this landing at night with all the runway lights - very cool! Thanks for sharing part of your day, or should I say, night with us!! Great job executed by the Queen and her crew!! Cheers and blessings always, my dear friend!! 💕✈✈💕
Very good quality video and explanation of the final approach phase. Nice touch adding the commentary for all to follow, easily understood what is going on. Thx for sharing on this father's day. Cheers
It would be interesting to compare the variability of control inputs between human pilots and the autoland system during landings. To my eye the control inputs from autoland are somewhat lower in amplitude and frequency. I wonder how the autoland system reacts to situations where wind shear is present or a heavy crosswind is present?
To this day it still amazes me the engineering and technology we have. Every time I look up at a plane flying I find it incredible how tons of steel can just lift and travel that high and so far. Whenever I talk about it everybody looks me like I'm crazy. I feel bad for them. they don't have the same sense of wonder I have.
I watched and listened to your explanation of what happening then watched it again but zoomed in to watch the display. Amazing! Thanks for showing how it works
That is because the Boeing 747 has slat protection systems which are designed to prevent the thrust reversers in applying any excessive amount of air to the leading edge slats, which could cause them to get damaged. That is why, after landing, for as long as the thrust reversers are engaged, the slats retract in position and most likely come back up again after the reversers are stowed.
@@Acepilot1312 Thank you for explaining this....I saw this on another 747 video with a wing shot of the landing and asked why the slats retracted but nobody answered. I wonder why they bother to extend them again after the reversers are stowed, they serve no purpose at that point.
This very aircraft (4X-ICA) had declared a General Emergency (Squawk-7700) today. Does anybody know what had happened to it? It was flying from Tel Aviv to Liege and had declared the emergency over Munich Airspace, at FL400.
Your explanation is clear and concise. Great presentation. Yet it inspires another question: What would be the steps needed from top of descent to set this up so that your entire approach is automatic, with the obvious exceptions of flaps, gear, and end of rollout?
Having flown with "George" at CX and GTI it's a nice demo, this issue is that it's never the preferred option. Yeah we can land in the soup and maintain center line, how are we getting off the runway?
❤ would love to know the airport pls? EBLG? Was the original 747-100 able to autoland? I think it had the capability as it was so advanced. 3 autopilots.
Curious why you decreased MCP speed to 158, then at minimums, you rolled it back to 160, then back to 158 over the threshold? Finessing the auto land for a more perfect landing or maybe keeping the engine wound up before touchdown?
How did autobrake know to not use reversers on 2-3? Was the fault on number 2 detected automatically or did it need to be told? Is it smart enough to use only the matching pairs regardless?
How often do you have to perform this auto land to stay certified to do it? How long will the airline allow the plane to fly before fixing the thrust reverser system?
Great video 👍 incredible they can land themselves, not as well as Captain B tho 😉very well explained hope inop thrust reverser 2 all fixed ok.. have a great day dear Captain ✈️❤️😊
Happy Father's Day to all My Father Pilots. A N D this night landing was beautiful. There is nothing like seeing those beautiful lights over the city when landing.
Very cool. Amazing technology to be able to take in, analyze and respond to all the variables Mother Nature can throw at within reason I’m sure. Are there any situations when auto land is not used or is the computer still better able to respond than human a being in most cases? I wonder if the computer lands the plan better than a human pilot? Thanks for the great video.👍👍👏👏
The plane is approaching the minimum altitude. The minimum altitude is the altitude the plane have to maintain until the pilots can see the runway visually.
A BOEING Flight Deck with a yoke looks better than an Airbus with joystick. Retractable Food tray is the most important part of the Airbus instrument panel.
Flew on L1011 Ship One (Flight Test) in 1985/86. Pilots did autoland once and it basically SERVOS itself to the runway. And you KNOW you have landed... nothing smooth about it...
unprofessional conduct by the captain to have his attention diverted away during this final phase of flight, where most accidents occur. just plain stupid..

I think in situations where there is minimal visibility and/or poor weather, it is the perfect thing hey.
@@AussienewsloverI think that sometimes, they also have to do an auto land test, so that’s probably why they did it with good visibility.

Thank you very much, look forward to watching more this kind of explanatory videos!
Thanks for the great explanation, captain! Enjoying your videos!
Thanks for a great video!
I have a question please - why are you changing the speed between 158 and 160 during the approach?
That was my question
Some small wind gusts, I felt it's better to add 2 knots to the target speed
Yes. First.. truly enjoy these videos.
Yes i know automatc landing cockpit 747. Thk you Captain for your beautifull videos. 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️
I have always wished I was smart enough to be a pilot. I love watching these videos from the cockpit view
Awesome vid! Can I ask what was the captain changing on the auto pilot panel on approach? Speed? Thanks!
He was indeed changing the speed
Great explanation of what’s going on and what’s being displayed and why. 👍🏻

We wouldn't use any auto land outside of parameters. When in doubt TOGA.
Fantastic as always 😊! Very clear in depth description. Thank you for uploading these videos.
Never tire of these clips , didn't know this was possible.
To this day it still amazes me the engineering and technology we have. Every time I look up at a plane flying I find it incredible how tons of steel can just lift and travel that high and so far. Whenever I talk about it everybody looks me like I'm crazy. I feel bad for them. they don't have the same sense of wonder I have.
Me too!! It's soooo amazing
Excellent play by play of auto landing. Thank you for this.
I watched and listened to your explanation of what happening then watched it again but zoomed in to watch the display. Amazing! Thanks for showing how it works
Amazing video as always!! Thank you Captain! The 747 rocks!!
Another cool video Capt. Never seen an auto land on the QOTS (Queen of the skies)
Happy landings from Portugal
Nice explanation of the cockpit and procedures. Beautiful night landing. 👍
Lovely podcast with beautiful illustration captain
Many thank for sharing this video :-) Landing by night is impressive, even when autopilot is activated. Greetings from Normandie.
That was very interesting to see the way an automatic landing is controlled
Awesome video Captain. ....you have an awesome job and career.....
From New Zealand 🇳🇿thanks for the commentary on what goes on in the captain’s seat very good 👍🏼 👍🏼👍🏼
@Captain Boeing, why does the Flap 30 indication change from green to magenta on the roll-out, then back to green?

Great! I always loved to fly with the B 747!
Technology is amazing..Thanks Captain
Real clear explanation. Thanks for sharing !

Some packs issues .. but all is ok now 👍
Amazing autolanding Cap. 👏👏👏!!!
Excellent commentary! 😊❤
That was brilliant. Thank you.

Awesome as always!
Many Dwight and complicate modalità of piloti this jumbo 747 is the Queens of the flight❤❤❤❤❤
You are just love the 747 like you do.❤ Generell the best plane ever.
Great Video :)
All Passengers: That was a great landing, thank you.
Pilots: Why, thank you very much.

That was AWESOME!!
Do you use Autoland when conditions are great more often than not?

Amazing Video Captain, Your explanation sounds common for me ... Why? I used to do 't on FS2020 😉
Awesome! Thank you.👍
Great video 👍 incredible they can land themselves, not as well as Captain B tho 😉very well explained hope inop thrust reverser 2 all fixed ok.. have a great day dear Captain ✈️❤️😊
It looks like Liège Airport (EBLG), welcome to my country Captain !
Happy Father's Day to all My Father Pilots. A N D this night landing was beautiful. There is nothing like seeing those beautiful lights over the city when landing.
It's amazing what those flight computers can do!
Good job!

What a great landing.
What a wow❤
Captain Boeing, why does the yoke is so sensitive?
Very execelent aircraft very complet as Sud e and power and tradiction in the world of flight
Amazing….
Great video. I thought engines 1-4 were always reversed.
Normally yes…I assume he’s got #2 reverser deferred and kept #3 at idle. He subtly mentions we don’t have #2 reverse.
What does approaching minimums mean?
The plane is approaching the minimum altitude. The minimum altitude is the altitude the plane have to maintain until the pilots can see the runway visually.
@@Imlegitthatonedude Thanks for this! Good of you to explain. So if the plane goes lower than the minimums it will be too low to land successfully?
@@krisjustin3884 The plane will risk hitting approach lights, terrain, maybe even civilian buildings.
@@Imlegitthatonedude Got it! Thanks!

Captain you must have a lot ot faith in this automation system
Kym

ランディングチェックリスト、コンプリーディング💖かっこええ💖My life at minimum😓which cap sey continue or rivers❓
A really interesting video, thank you Captain. It was beautiful to see all the lights both in the cockpit and on the runway! ❤✈️
That must have been tough for you to not take the controls. 😉
No extraneous conversation in the cockpit while landing! I'd rather listen to the sounds of the jet!
Flew on L1011 Ship One (Flight Test) in 1985/86. Pilots did autoland once and it basically SERVOS itself to the runway. And you KNOW you have landed... nothing smooth about it...
i do it every time when i land in MSFS 😂
Looks like SFO. Oh😂. 3,000 FASL
Would have rather listen to the cockpit voice s
pretty soon robot and Ai will replace human pilots.
Not a fan of any form of transportation not controlled by a human
So you dont like safety? Humans make mistakes, computers do not. They do exactly what they are programmed to do.
If this continue I will unsubscribe..
unprofessional conduct by the captain to have his attention diverted away during this final phase of flight, where most accidents occur. just plain stupid..
Yes he did a voice over!
Of course 👍
