Thanks Steph! Really glad to hear you like them 😊

It was definitely bumpy I can tell you from being on it! 💨💨

Absolutely Alex, pilot nailed the landing, bumpy descent but perfect landing! If memory serves me correctly the flight that was landing before us did a go around!

There was quite a few, just watch the wing shaking and the ailerons working hard!

@@aviation_dad The wings shaking at every landing which i had, this normal

It shows you just how amazing the graphics have got in Flight Sim now doesn’t it haha! Favourite aircraft is 777-300 - amazing sound from the engines! How about you?

Yes, but it’s recommended to buy something in the restaurant / bar.

@@aviation_dad Ok thanks :)

@@aviation_dad Can you access the other bit where BJTV goes? Where you can see touchdowns etc

@CPlanespotting I think that is nearer to the Thistle Hotel if I’m not mistaken :)

Yes I always carry ID with me - doesn’t haven’t to be a passport as it is within the common travel area but something with your full name and has an expiry date is required.

Take from the BA Website: You do not require a passport to travel within the UK, but you will need to carry one type of photographic ID when travelling with us. Examples include: Valid passport Valid driving licence, either provisional or full Valid EU national identity card Valid armed forces identity card Valid police warrant card or badge

In the UK at least it often depends on the traffic around the aircraft, if the separation is great than we don't need to end the call sign with heavy ( I think)

We do use the term ‘Heavy’ within the UK too :)

Windy too 💨

👍🏼

A Gates at LHR T5.

Yes the 747 Pokémon livery is also really good, was great to see this 777 in person though!

Thank you much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

This is at the crash gate opposite Decathlon at Holywood Exchange!

@@aviation_dad Thank you!

Perfect 👌 Huckerby’s Meadow is a new one for me, I’ve never heard of it! I’ve 2 trips to LHR booked for February so I will it out then, thanks!

The fun begins at 05:05 haha :) the iPhone 13 Pro which this was filmed on has excellent stabilisation which helps but you can see from the wing flex and aileron movements it was indeed a bumpy and turbulent descent!

Yes I can confirm that’s correct ☺️

Absolutely! If it’s Easterlies this one is personally my favourite ❤️

Agreed

Except the wind 💨

@@aviation_dad keep your digestive issues out of this

@@davideg1001dg hahahaha! It wasn’t mine, it was the person sat next to me 🤣🤣💨💨

Well spotted Gerard! Typo on my part! I flew back later that day in 4A hence the confusion haha! I will update now. Thank you :)

@@aviation_dad You’re welcome! Gerarda

As mentioned on the description I was lucky enough to catch up with the captain after the flight! I wanted to ask him about the flight given it was so stormy and we're talking 50+ mph winds and very heavy rain. He confirmed TOGA take off for maximum thrust to get up as quickly as possible :)

@eggsAviation, well pointed out! Changed the title to update :) thank you.

No problem!

Thanks David - always like to hear peoples views on how to improve the channel, previously it was suggested that there was no music on the videos which it was suggested to add some in to the videos - maybe a little too much on this one haha! I can remember City Airport before the refurb and renaming to GBBCA, when it was only Flybe (the first one) Dash 8's, Bae 146's and BMI A320/A321's! This particular take off was probably the most powerful I've ever felt departing from BHD. Rotation only look about 1/3 of the runway! Those IAE engines are impressive at full pelt!

I actually recorded this when I stayed at a hotel near LHR. It was a Uniden 75XLT with the rubber duck antenna with an audio feed into my laptop if I remember correctly! Impressive you can pick it up the whole way in Brum though! Can you get 2 way both Pilot and Controller?

@@aviation_dad Oooo nice!, I think i may know what hotel you are on about, been there a few times myself!. Yeah with my antenna I can get director, and a VERY faint tower on a good day haha!
