Over the North Atlantic, where there is no radar coverage, planes don't fly like they normally fly. They follow a set of daily tracks that act like highways in the sky.

“If you’ve ever looked at a flight tracker sometime around ten or eleven PM eastern”
Yeah I do it everyday
I used to have an app that could either show live, or play at a faster pace. The latter was fun, seeing the sudden explosion of flights first thing in the morning in North America. It could also be used as a screen saver. I think that KLM provided the app, but showed all flights from all the consortium's flights... Delta, KLM, Air France, etc.
TomThy Hshshsh I do
Could you explain How?
Juan Flores how what?
I just looked one up, it's 2am GMT and it's cooool af
"Radar services terminated. have a good night." that just gave me the chills...
yes same, it's creepy and makes you feel alone.
I'm a pilot. We get this message all the time. It just means ATC isn't going to offer you separation or navigation services. You still have all the GPS equipment on your plane for navigating, so it isn't really a big deal.
How did transatlantic flights navigate e.g in the 1960s before GPS? Radio beacons? Celestial?
Im glad its not just me lol
They used stars and dead reckoning.
Recently was on a flight crossing the Pacific ocean, I remember looking out the window in midflight and realizing we are in the middle of nowhere and just feeling that nothingness. When you said "radar services terminated and have a good night" it totally brought back the feeling...
Actually when you cross the pacific like from Asia to America you go north over Japan and Alaska, not directly across the ocean.
Live The Future No clue why you’re trying to “correct” someone’s experience.

@@livethefuture2492Not much in Alaska tbf. But at least you can land somewhere if the plane is fucked. (I mean most planes can glide for 4 hours)

I heard that phrase four times in the last week.

Wait which phrase; mine or namiix's?
Affirmative. Namiix’s.
Seeing a new video from you pop up in my sub box fills me with joy. Always so fascinating seeing how you approach a topic and then explaining it in such an interconnected way. As always, great job on keeping the quality so high in your videos! ^-^
Thanks man :)
You watch this?
This was a great video, well done :) Almost 3000 likes and 6 negatives btw, nice.

Let's flip over to Mentour Pilot's channel to see how that went...
Am I the only one who LOVED the technical part?
I love nerdy technical stuff.
I found it very interesting.
Would I be here if I didn't?
I thought i wouldnt but i end up liking it

pilot: can we request clearance for takeoff point 9/11?
air control: WHAT??
hey mohamed program our course to 9/11 please
Oh yeah yeah
All you had to do was follow the damn trian
Doesn’t work that way; There is, fortunately, no track from waypoint SEP11.
Ian Wilkins you seen the 15:17 to Paris damm
2:02 There are two things to bear in mind here. 1) The speed of sound is 760mph only at sea level in the standard atmosphere (1013hPa/millibars, 15 celsius) and falls with height, and 2) the difference between airspeed and ground speed. The 745mph here is almost certainly ground speed, which is airspeed plus tailwind (or minus headwind). This aircraft was moving at 545mph relative to a corridor of air that was moving at 200mph.

Steve from Blue's Clues turned into an air traffic controller. 4:14
I was thinking the same thing 😂
XD That is hilarious !
So I wasn't the only one thinking that! Lol
This made me laugh lol
There's a clue!
I love your videos. But I have to correct one error in this video. I’m a 747 Pilot for Cathay Pacific, so know a little about this topic. You said that due to a strong jet steam a plane got very close to the speed of sound. That’s not correct.
An aircrafts “Ground Speed” has no bearing on their Mach number (Mach number is their percentage of the speed-of-sound they are flying). Only “airspeed” matters, and wind (jet steam) won’t affect an aircrafts airspeed. We fly at Mach 0.84 (or 84% of the speed of sound). Sometimes our ground speed is 450 knots, other times it’s 650 knots. But how close we are to the speed of sound has nothing to do with how fast we fly over the ground. Only how fast we’re flying through the air.
Anyway, I couldn’t let that one slide, I had to say something. Otherwise, keep up the amazing videos! I’ve learned so much from watching them all! Cheers!
I noticed that too, although not a pilot. Thanks for dedicating your career to flying us safely!
Seems logic now. If speed of sound is the speed of air waves, then if air travels faster because of wind, then sound is also faster. But this is a simple logic... Can somebody correct me?
He also got longitudinal and lateral separation confused ;)
But as someone that has just completed the 14 EASA ATPL exams including operational procedures (in which OTS/NATS is covered in depth) I can forgive him that.
@@abingdonboy As someone who is admiral general galactic president McAwesomeville and won 3 world wars and 4 nobel prizes, I can forgive him as well. I am a generous god.

“Boston’s waypoints named for its sports teams, cubs and bears”
But those are from Chicago
Kyle Jonas
Yeah, that doesn’t make sense.
Lmao I got confused when he said that
It could be for the Bostin Bruins. A bruin is a bear.
It’s a joke
BEARZ is in NW Indiana, BEARS is in South Carolina, KUBBS is in Lake Michigan,
What you say are Boston's waypoints (KUBBS, BEARS) are Chicago sports teams. I think something's mixed up.oh, and great informative video. Thanks.
Ahhhh snickerdoodles. It amazes me that that made it all the way through writing, recording, then editing without me catching it. This pains me so much
Don't worry about it, the Boston Bruins exist and a Bruin is a Bear.
I was very mad at you, then you used the word "snickerdoodles" and everything was ok again.
Yeah, he missed out on some really good ones, too. Some of the waypoints for Logan Airport include HAVRD YAARD, BGDIG, CELTS, BOSOX and … wait for it … DRUNK. We also have PLGRM, for the region’s history; CHWDH, LBSTA, and CLAWW for the food; GLOWB and HRALD cover the city’s newspapers; while SSOXS, FENWY, BAWLL, and OUTTT chronicle the anguishes of the city’s baseball team. Even the region’s speech-WIKID, followed by PAHTI-seems to be mapped. There’s a NIMOY waypoint; Leonard was born in Boston. And LYHTT for a famous lighthouse.
+Wendover Productions TBH, I laughed because I though you were just being sarcastic.
When he said "Radar services terminated" I got goosebumps.
Come here to say this. Thank you!

1:42 Not true any more - as of February 2020 another British airways flight set a new record of 4 hours and 56 minutes between New York and London
Kyle Davis ok nerd
Same day I was on a flight from LAX to LHR. 8 hours 55 min. We were over 780 mph at one point.
This video was made 3 years ago
That was a Norwegian Air UK flight not a British Airways flight.
This video is 3 years old dude
It's not correct to say the 777 was 16 mph from sonic. 745 mph is ground speed, not true airspeed.
isnt speed of sound dependent on altitude as well
KHRrocks No that much on pressure, it's much more dependent on temperature (which goes down as you go up).
The speed of sound is entirely dependent on density. Which is why the average speed of sound in water is 3,355 mph, and in steel it is 12,952mph. Since air density is determined by altitude and air temperature, you are partially correct. It is altitude AND temp.
Bugdriver49 The effect of density at constant temperature going from sea level to 30,000ft equivalent is some 1.2 m/s, while the effect of temperature going from 20C to -50C is 40m/s.
Like I said: "not that much on pressure".
Downstream01 While I stand by my statement that sound travels faster through a denser medium, I must agree you are right in. re. the atmosphere. Salute!
4:13 So thats what steve from blues clues is doing now
just going to say that lololol

Colorado’s DEN International Airport Waypoints:
Smke

Evry
Day
Brian Lau waypoints dont have to be 5 characters but the max is 5 . Like near lax there is a waypoint AVE and thats 3
3 one is VOR
Actually three characters are for navigational aids and five for waypoints without nav aids. There are four character points but those are system points which are for the fms (flight management system) and aren‘t used by atc
Ok, someone who knows thier shit here
1. From looking at the profile pic, I'm guessing you all got woooshed
2. If not:
- waypoints (at least in American airspace, I can't say for anywhere else) are 5 characters long
- VOR's are 3 characters
-NAVIDS are 5 characters
- airways (based on the airways I have entered into the fmc before flights) are 1 letter and any amount of numbers between 1 and 3 digits
Hope this helps
Those WEEDHEADS need to go to rehab if their smoking everyday
5:30 When you said that, I had a rush of goosebump all over my back and arms, and I teared up a little. I don't know why, but somehow I got really emotional at that point.
Me too
Weirdo 😂
Me too.
Any pilot will!
I knew I wasn't the only one!
1-The timing
2-The music
3-The photography
4-And the phrase (Radar services terminated. Have a good night)And we are on our own.
This is how to make awesome moments in a movie or in a video in this case.
_Boston has two waypoints in support of their sports teams:_
_the _*_KUBBS_*_ and _*_BEARS_*
Chicago: >:O
Massachusetts Mapping??? KUBBS is near Chicago, BEARS is in Georgia.
The plot thickens...
Chicago is home to the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears. But the BEARS waypoint is in South Carolina, and the KUBBS one is over Lake Michigan. AFAIK there are no "Boston Kubbs" or "Boston Bears".
Omg u just triggered all the flat earth earthers
Oh my goodness you just triggered all English speakers!

From what I recall you don't lose contact with the ATC, you get handed over to oceanic radio and you have to request clearance for each waypoint/coordinate, mentioning speed, altitude etc
***** I knew virtual flying on IVAO was great :D
Yup, you contact oceanic on HF. But you'll normally get one oceanic clearance. It'll clear you along multiple waypoints/coordinates, and you'll be given a mach speed and flight level for the whole clearance too.
Keg my country didn't have a vatsim division, or at least not a big one, so I went on ivao and quit fsx for good about 2 years ago
"Radar services terminated" **titanic song plays**
Was that air traffic controller wearing the same clothes as Steve from Blue's Clues?
I also thought so lol
I saw that and immediately knew someone would mention him in the comments
It's Ironic that when you started your technical part (with a warning), you're reading slightly faster as well.
I mean, it is a little ironic. You’d expect a technical explanation to be given relatively slowly to a layperson.
'Now this is the technical part' *starts music*
:|
at least its not the happy warbly music like in old early 60's documentaries.
This is so interesting! Would you mind doing one for the Pacific Ocean sometime??
Actually the Pacific is almost the same. . Say SFO to Hong Kong you will travel up the coast heading to Anchorage curving around the Alaskan islands towards Japan. Obviously weather plays a big part in the actually route
@@Shape415 As well as having to avoid certain airspace that is closed due to conflict, as is Russia's since the start of Putin's war in Ukraine, or the USSR's back in the day
I love the Boston Bears and Boston Cubs!
Big mistake lol

Steve from blues clues is an ATC now?!
Rohan Tyagi bears and cubs are references to the bruins buddy
The two best sports cities in the country, IMO. Chicago and Boston.
To all Flat-eathers. Take a compass and navigate 090 for 6 hours and see if you end up at your destination. When not, then it's probably because Earth is a globe.
@7A You don't try hard enough.
The Earth is a giant donut. PROBLEM SOLVED!
@Random Games Channel dude your so dumb its obviously a pyramid
@@sheeb2855 clearly, you are lacking in intellect. the earth is obviously a rectangular prism.
If you follow a constant compass heading that you've plotted from a flat map such as 090 degrees is the bearing from New York to London (not actual) you WILL get there exactly, however the line you'll actually travel is called a Rhumb Line and is curved sideways so you'll have travelled a further distance than is required. This happens if you're hiking too or doing short range flying, but the amount of curve sideways is so small that it's not worth worrying about. It is important for long flights and oceanic voyages though.
You actually forgot something! Pilots are still communicating with Shanwick or Gander and have to give them "position reports" when they cross a waypoint on the NAT and say the ETA for the next waypoint. Most often this is done via the FMC. The controllers still have an overview and safety is guaranteed!
WTF
CPDLC
Yup i thought i don't know how no one else realised...
Thank god someone else knows something here!!

Nice video with a lot of information and great graphics! Just few comments on the topic:
1. Generally it is an OTS (Organised Track System) and this particular one is NAT OTS (North Atlantic OTS) - as there are also other (i.e. PACOTS - Pacific OTS, AUSOTS - Australian OTS, etc)
2. Flights will never 'fly in the jet stream' as these are turbulent areas (think about the passengers :)
3. Speed of sound is only dependent on the air temperature so in your example (Lsos - 1200 km/h) would be like flying at 5000 feet above sea level :) Generally if we assume traversing ocean at FL400 (40000 feet) the OAT (outside air temperature) will be more like -56*C and Lsos (local speed of sound) therefore around 1060 km/h. Do not mix TAS with ground speed :)
4. Aircraft following on the same track are separated 10 minutes apart (15 minutes which you refer to are used between aircraft crossing another aircraft at the same level) - additionally separation is based on the mach number so pilots are not allowed to change their 'speed' as they wish.
5. We are not on our own :) pilots have to report their position every 10 minutes to the oceanic centers and communication is maintained via HF
Don't get me wrong - you have covered the topic very well - my comments are just to make your presentation more complete.
Cheers!

Also is the jet stream not westerly winds?
1:48 actually, about 3 years after this video, a British Airways 747-400 broke the record at 4 hr. and 56 mins. i think

Idk about you guys, but I'm in the mood for some we will never forget September 11th after watching this video.
the names of those routes are called that because of the phonetic aplhabet, wich is used in aviation, so instead of A,B,C,D,E,... you have Aplha,Bravo,Charlie,Delta,Echo,...
so those routes are just called Z,Y,X,W,V,U,T,S,R,Q in theory

they wouldn't hear anything because they are faster than sound travels
But then the wings would break

Justallan you can’t hear the sound barrier inside a plane because you’re going faster than the speed it (tries to) catch up with you

1:59..No, the GROUND SPEED of the aircraft was 745mph, the AIR SPEED was only 545mph.
still god damn fast for a 777 though you got to admit
No one cares about KIAS lol
I guess that wasn't 745mph but 745kt.
Joker 745 kts my ass
It was 745mph which equals like 650kts
patrik streng Using mph instead of kt is unusual in aviation.
I flew Miami to Baltimore in the mid 80’s on a 733 or 737 ( I forget) with, as the pilot announced, a 200 mph tailwind giving us a speed of 750 mph appx. Being in the very last seat, that tail was whipping like crazy. Arrived 45 minutes early.

If anyone can recommend me other channels like Wendover Productions, please let me know!
That was awesome, had no idea there are freeways in the sky. Keep it coming!
There are a whole mess of freeways over the U.S. Look up IFR en-route low & high altitude charts. It will blow your mind!!
In Europe we are transitioning to free route systems. That will blow your mind too.
Yes but I doubt you have the volume of air traffic that we do in the U.S. Europe has better train systems, we don't; so people will book a plane to fly 300 miles.
thank lord in Europe there are effective bus and train routes. It's a pain in the ass in the US. Hurricane Matthew cancelled my flight and in the US you're literally stuck without any flights. Actually It's a shame.
+Mitchel Rieger How are you stuck? Are you a foreigner? Everyone and a car. There are roads everywhere.
Nice one! Which program are you using for typing and putting effects in your videos?
I make the elements for animation in Photoshop then put it all together in Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro, 3 words, take that and add up the letters in Mac, M a c, 3 letters.
Final Cut Pro also being 3 words, subtracted by the two letters in PC, equals one word, which is Mac.

Choppeey 1543 just joking bro. Not actually mad lol
Hitting these NATS waypoints at the precise time, speed, altitude is critical for maintaining aircraft separation. Aircraft that are unable to do so are relegated to less favorable areas of the Jetstream. This was a key benefit to reengining the C-5 which was under powered with the TF-39.
We are alone suddenly brought a smile to my face

Glad to see Steve found work as an air traffic controller
He's right about that D.C. arrival fix. It's on the Bucko Transition approach from the North @ FL310: WEWIL (14000), NEVVR (12000) FORGT (11000) SEPII (10000)
I was once on a flight from Heathrow to JFK and from my seat I could see 3 planes right next to us .
Some flight attendants were talking about someone reporting seeing another plane, and said that if people knew, pointing up, down, left, right... That many planes crossing the Atlantic each evening means a busy sky. As the video pointed out, the entire eastern seaboard of North America lines up along the great circle route to the UK, so most of those flights go in a narrow band. That leaves a lot more space for flights from, say, Calgary to Portugal, or other great circle route not aligned with everyone else. Flying from Calgary to various places in Europe, I'd see a lot of empty sky (and pretty empty northern Canada).
The aircraft are separated 15 minutes from nose to tail but, because they’re all going the same direction, only 5-10 miles left to right.
Flight simmers know those two waypoints by heart.
Facts
But they change everyday...

“Radar services terminated. Have a good night. And were on our own” Felt different.. gave me chills
1:58 You're messing up two different speeds...Shockwaves start to develop at certain TAS(true airspeed; speed the aircraft is moving through the air), but you're talking about GS(ground speed;speed the airplane is moving relative to ground)
lost me when you said boston had the cubs and bears.
Right? How can you make a video so full of highly technical information and screw up something this simple? And I know a lot of people would say something like, "It's not that big of a deal. It doesn't even have any effect on the info in the video". That's where they would be wrong. If I'm watching a video like this, whose intent is to convey technical info, when the maker of said video screws up something inconsequential like this, it makes me wonder how many other things they screwed up. So screwing up some little thing like this makes me pretty much discount your entire video as an accurate source of information. Take note people!
Chill, he made an anotation in the video, mistakes happen.
Why does anyone give a shit to know about American football?

“Radar Terminated, Have a good night” what if its the morning?
He said early that the flights take place at the nighttime
Morning usually happens in reverse route
You fool 😁🤐
To go europe is always at night
@@marlondasllani579 Sort of. There are flights between the East Coast to Europe (primarily London) that leave in the morning. American Airlines Flight #142 (JFK to LHR), United #122 (IAD to LHR), and one out of Chicago.
I was once on a plane returning to London ( mid Atlantic) from Vegas. I looked out the window to my Right and spied ANOTHER PLANE SAME LEVEL. Not very far away.
4 hours 53 minutes is the new record following the winds of storm Ciara over the North Atlantic
Now I know why they always take the "long way" instead of the "straight way". Very interesting video!
They are taking the straight way
Jesse Vermeulen Do you understand the meaning of quotation marks?
According to flat earthers, its a conspiracy by the oil companies to burn more oil and take more peoples money lol. Probably aliens are involved as well.
Lol wow I was wondering what the fucking counter-explanation would be. xD
I always thought they were taking the dumb long way. Then I drew the line myself in Google Maps. And just like Wendover says, a straight line from NY to London looks "curved" when flattened.
The Jet Stream has westerly winds because the way you depict wind direction is by stating where the wind is coming from, not blowing toward
My dad does that route as a pilot he says he's faveret route is Quebec because it goes over greenland

Who came here after studying Operational Procedures - Long Range Flights?
26 flat-earthers disliked this video. Wonder if they'd have an answer or try debunk the direct route theory..
Yeah jet stream is awesome when i flew from new york to Frankfurt, we arrived 3 times earlier than planned.
What if engine fails, some medical emergency,etc occurs and airplane has tu return after radio service is terminated?
How do pilots contact?
They are still in contact with ATC, so they can talk to ATC about it.
Search ETOPS, actually this channel has a video for such situations.
Radar services are terminated. They can still contact ATC with HF radio or satellite, so they can get permission to turn around or deviate from the assigned route.
It's amazing how Gander and Shanwick Oceanic Area airspace keep flights on track through the NATs
2 hrs 57 mins is the record New York to London in the mid 90’s As the Concorde was up above 40000 fairly quickly and its cruise height was Above 50000 feet at Mach 2.00, it went straight across. It’s interesting in the late morning on a clear day to watch aircraft entering their track near Glasgow. Above the Pacific all Aircraft are tracked through a Satellite System and use if out of HF range a datalink. but Flightradar shows the daily track that vary by 100’s of nm day to day dependant on Weather, turbulence etc.
If anyone wants more info about this. Search NATS (North Atlantic Track System)
