I love how the first officer looks like the captain and the captain looks like the first officer. The reason that is is because the captain is not wearing a suit unlike the first officer. I have some suspicion to believe that the captain may be flirting with the first officer. According to Kelsey from 74 year, pilots usually play that game of takeoff more clothes in hopes that a girl will want to become his girlfriend.
True story.. I worked with an Irish guy back in the 90s, he was flying home for a holiday, though quite a nervous flier. He used Air Lingus to travel and halfway through the flight he was superstore hear an announcement asking for him personally to report to the crew. He was taken to the cockpit and saw his brother flying the plane. He said “I thought it was you Gerry from the passenger list” Gerry’s genuine reply was “keep ya eyes on the road”
Can I just mention, as an aviation enthusiast, the communication in the cockpit is AMAZING between the Captain just knowing what to do, and the preparedness of the First Officer (literally sitting with the checklists ready before the Captain asks for it) it is just absolutely astonishingly well done!! 👍👍👍👍👍
@@celticlofts It was a relief pilot. DUB to SFO is a longhaul flight. They need to rest, hence the relief pilot. The relief pilot is there during takeoff and landing, monitoring both of the other pilots. I'm sure you didn't mean it, but it sounded a bit like she needed an additional pilot to keep an eye on her, which isn't the case. Fiona is a fully qualified and very experienced First Officer.
As a low-time GA pilot and 50-year aviation enthusiast, I’m happy to report this was the absolute best of the many gate-to-flight-levels videos I’ve had the pleasure to watch. Only a very few points where I was not quite able to follow in the moment, which gave me an excellent sense of progress in my learning journey. So much more enjoyable to “visit” the flight deck with you fine professionals than to sit in the economy cabin wishing I were farther forward. Thank you so much for inviting us along!
I've flown multiple times with Aer Lingus but had no knowledge of the meticulousness of their prep. As a passenger it certainly inspires confidence in the airline.
I was lucky enough to meet the pilots of an A320 from London Gatwick into Dublin on New Years Eve (2021 into 2022). Only 16 of us onboard at about ten at night. I asked the cabin crew if I could meet them, and they said no. But I think the captain must of overheard and he dragged me into the flight deck haha. It was a privilege to have a chat with both pilots before we departed, they really knew their stuff. They even made a PA announcement at cruise which was aimed at me, cos they knew I was heavily into flight sim and gave some detailed info on the departure, and I knew it was for me. But yeah, I really do have a lot of confidence with Aer Lingus too. Very professional airline.
This is one of the BEST take off I see ever. So nice and so RELAX and SKIIL co.polite and first officer. Specially thanks for GREAT JP CHANEL Fantastic job
I love flying Aer Lingus to NYC the take off and landing is always very smooth and it’s very reassuring how professional the crew are as shown in the video which is very interesting and very informative. One question I have is the small thump thump you hear and feel on the runway at speed I was wondering is it the runway surface .
Another excellent video of the fantastic team of Captain Owen and First Officer Fiona taking the lovely St Mella (now I think sadly retired) to SFO. Their professionalism and teamwork are top notch (and shout-out also to Captain Kevin in the jumpseat). I could listen to their preflight briefings all day long, they are so good!
Another great video from JustPlanes. Passengers just have no idea of all the work that goes on in the cockpit before the aircraft pushes back from the stand. And another Airbus aircraft. My son helps to build these at the Airbus plant at St Eloi Toulouse.
I became aware of Just Planes earlier today - when I saw this Aer Lingus crew take off from San Francisco. And now I have seen them take off to SF from Dublin. Ultra professional. Fantastic to watch.
Awesome to see how on top of things they were, even the comment after departure about the headwind picking up so they would have no issues meeting their upcoming altitude restriction. CRM was second to none, both of them were on the same page and clued in to everything from the get go!
I was always a very nervous flyer, pilot told me he had a family at home and he would never fly if he was in harm, he explained everything about the aircraft and what to expect which was quite normal, I now enjoy travelling the world thanks to him
As a pilot who hand flies a lot (not at the airlines yet but who flies planes with very capable autopilots) I do not look down at pilots who use the autopilot a lot. It’s à different set of skills, one that isn’t easier than manual flying. As long as they do find a way to keep their manual flying skills sharp, I see them as equals, to be perfectly honest with you.
The development of power-assisted flying controls and autopilots were liberating moments for all pilots, as they allow very long flight sectors to be flown safely without needing pilots to have worked out in the gym.
It is amazing to watch you punch in all the coordinates the weight before the plane moves. I am going to, sit back and enjoy this flight thank you to the captain and Fiona my hats off to you truly a professional.
I think that aircraft just recently came out of service, EI LAX St Mella, I mean in the last week or two. I had the pleasure of flying on her two weeks after she entered service on and it was on the Dublin LAX route back 1998 I think it was. I was allowed onto the flight deck and had a chat with the Captain and FO about 90 mins out over the stunning scenery of Utah. Wouldn't happen now! This a great tribute to a fine aircraft that did the company proud. By the way, all Irish crew are like what you see in the video ;)
I have the most respect for these pilots .I couldn't do that job be too scared of the responsebility .thank yee pilots for fling me around to different parts of the world 🌎
I really enjoy this crew, they make it very interesting for those of us that don't fly often. I remember in high school I wanted to be an airline pilot, and now, watching these videos I wish I had followed through, but the Air Force had a better use for me.
Are these pilots still flying to this day? They are so professional I never knew the checks procedures for pilots until now, makes me feel that much safer whenever I fly
@@Peelybaii WHATTT! That’s so awesome I’m very happy to hear that she’s now Captain Fiona 🥲 well deserved! I bet she was super nice in person she seems like a genuine soul
this is great...I saw your video of leaving SF....Fiona, I am impressed...you go over EVERYTHING .....in case......magnificent pilot....PLUS the male pilot..great too. (I wouldn't forget you) you two make me feel secure if I got a chance to fly with your airline
I live in Dublin Runway 28 is now 28L as they're making a new Runway which should be ready by next month EDIT: It is now open since August 24th. They only use it for a bit of the day at the time of writing
I’m all Irish from me mums side. Proud that me people are this professional! Never knew Lucky Charms guy was a pilot! I know someone checked contents of their “coffee” cups!🥴
Now I know what y’all are doing while I’m relaxing in the cabin behind you. Hopefully you’ll fly back into Shannon, Dublin is a 3hr drive to Ballybunion.
Flight controls are checked by both, rudder by one but keep in mind sometimes you do not see everything that goes on in the cockpit, the video would be more than 10 hours long :) so we cut things here and there...
Hello Hyland Family. Unless it’s all changed since I retired, the handling pilot has to press the nose wheel steering disconnect button. With his hand on the steering tiller, he has to press using the rear of his hand just behind his palm, and only then can he exercise the rudder pedals. It goes without saying, that a straight stretch of taxiway is required. It also goes without saying that this must be done with care, because applying full rudder prematurely, will cause the aircraft to turn !!

Overall, which do you trust more, Boeing or Airbus aircraft?

haha cool
🤣
“Keep ya eyes on the road” that made me chuckle haha, great comment
Oh the days before 9/11 sad the way things are now.
his brother was a pilot and he was still nervous lol
Love this crew. They set a gold standard in "cockpit resource management" or, more colloquially: amazing teamwork.
Couldn't have put it better databong - absolutely professional!
Remember - every First Officer is a Captain-in-Training.
Fiona is hot!
Indeed, CRM excellent!
It's a pleasure to watch Owen & Fiona work together. Such professionalism; friendly and polite too! Superb!
Great ad for Aer Lingus

I like how keen the FO is to demonstrate what they're doing, as if she is instructing. It adds a huge amount to the film.
Ya sometimes you get luck filming pilots who are really into it and you can bring the viewers some good stuff.
@@justplanes : And she had a check pilot sitting behind her. You want to get everything right.

You dont learn by just winging it . Pun intended. The instructions and verification is what a FO needs to succeed. Learing from the best

That’s all standard procedure for any airline pilot.
Aer Lingus and Ryanair have a fantastic safely history. I'd always feel safe on either.
This is one of the BEST take off I see ever. So nice and so RELAX and SKIIL co.polite and first officer. Specially thanks for GREAT JP CHANEL Fantastic job

I really enjoyed this video, and especially appreciated how the commander and first officer worked together.
I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve watched this. Fantastic.
What a smooth oiled machine this crew is right on time, it would be a honor to be a passenger on their flight.

I absolutely love this crew...definitely my favourite videos to watch on this channel.
I've flown twice with Aer Lingus and both times have been my best flight experiences by a mile.
A330’s are wonderful aircraft. What a superb pre flight check, really easy to understand and very nicely conveyed. To be sure!
Captain Owen and Officer Fiona are probably my favorites on this channel, they are so professional and seem really nice
Great advert for Air Lingus - never flown with them, but after that I think I'd like to.
Very nice Simon and you should def give them a try. Great crews!
Yes. I do wonder why some companies say no to JustPlane's request. Does seem like good marketing.
Another great video from JustPlanes. Passengers just have no idea of all the work that goes on in the cockpit before the aircraft pushes back from the stand.

26:49 every time I hear those mighty engines spool up it gives me chills. What sheer power!
What a fantastic demonstration of teamwork and professionalism. Makes me want to fly Air Lingus.
I love this crew! They are amazing to watch.
Fantastic guys , only the Irish can convey such confidence and friendly demeanour:)
Go raibh maith agat, a chara.
Fantastic and so insightful. One of the very best flightdeck videos yet.
Brilliant takeoff. That engine sound on TOGA, wonderful!
Awesome to see how on top of things they were, even the comment after departure about the headwind picking up so they would have no issues meeting their upcoming altitude restriction. CRM was second to none, both of them were on the same page and clued in to everything from the get go!
Excellent, very thorough and enjoyable presentation-professional crew-great camera work-I feel like a 4th crew member, Thank you

Who can't love an airline with a name like Aer Lingus?
It actually is Air Fleet in English. Aer Lingus definitely sounds better
@@dobrien757Everything sounds better in Irish
gotta love the pilot he is a BOSS who doesnt press on the AUTO PILOT straight away !!

This video was so cool and well done. Explains everything. Just Planes is so cool for us non pilots❤️👍✈️
Just a top crew , love watching this crew fly very professional 🤙🤙🤙
Incredible the way they "rotate" / "climb" with a simple joystick move. What power and finesse!
The development of power-assisted flying controls and autopilots were liberating moments for all pilots, as they allow very long flight sectors to be flown safely without needing pilots to have worked out in the gym.
Flight crew - so interactive, so professional!
For sure
Great crew coordination. Meticulous and a pleasure to witness.

What a crew! I which I could would fly with these two around the world.
Utmost respect for these professional people. Great footage! Thank you .
WOW. !!! Even the gauges are in green.
Are these pilots still flying to this day? They are so professional I never knew the checks procedures for pilots until now, makes me feel that much safer whenever I fly

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Steve
It's just amazing seeing how it all works, thank you all so much for these videos.

Great and fantastic crew. Interesting to follow your route.
We agree! Glad you enjoyed it👍
Fantastic video. Love aviation very much. ⭐🌟💔💘💝✈️🛫🛬🛩️
Awesome, thank you Neil!
I want to fly with you both. I am very nervous of flying but you make me feel less so. I always enjoy watching your flights 😁👏🏻
Great to hear that!
I would confidently fly on their plane anytime. Very professional.
Great insights and great crew. This plane is now in EIKN for scrapping.
Glad you enjoyed the video
Incredible to think that such a capable aircraft is now only good for recycling!
Thank for sharing. Love 💕 seeing planes ✈️ from the ground
Flew on the A330 back in the days when the Boston service made a stop at Shannon for immigration reasons. Dublin to Shannon was a mere 15 minutes !
Interesting. Now they have a flight that goes just to Shannon and 1-2 a day nonstop to Dublin. 2 prior to covid, probably 1 for now

Great video, this aircraft was scrapped in March 2022.
This was fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it DJ, thanks
It's amazing how far we've come since the Wright brothers. 👍🏻
Wow, very detailed flight crew
So calm, so polite, so by the book! Is it always like this, or was that just for the cameras?
Always there are variations when no cameras or checking crew present but it should always be like this
Sad to see you go Owen, Hope you have a great retirement.😢🤧🫡
These guys are brilliant. What great videos. Why would they be recording so many of these?
I believe this is the old EI LAX or St Mella that was just scrapped this past March. She was built in 1999 and I flew in her quite a few times.
I liked the irony of LAX flying to SFO!
Fantastic video - superlative crew 👌👏❣️
27:09 Interesting - the camera and the PFD have similar refresh rates
Awesome, in the true sense of the word 👍
I flew this flight business class in 2018 from San Fran to Dublin over night , It was awesome
Beautiful!
Fiona rulez, love to see that thes guys are working for our safety!
EI-LAX, she's being scrapped at Knock (Ireland West Airport) at the moment :(
Fiona is amazing lady with high spirit, their team is no doubt have higher ambition 🙌
Kudos to you Fiona.
Awesome💪👍🇮🇪 Irish
i bet sully never had a co pilot that looked that good..
14:56 "it's a very quick flight time today of just 10 hours airborne"

hahaha... very true... I guess maybe sometimes its 11 hours or more depending on the winds. but to anyone 10 hours is a very long time.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent as always 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks

Great crew👍
After the Capt. checks his flight controls, why doesn't the FO check her rudder for full & free movement?
No need. The rudder pedals are connected, when the Capt checked his rudder she can feel her pedals moving too so both are checked together.
@@blueb0g Good question, I was wondering about that too; thanks for the answer. :)
Flight controls are checked by both, rudder by one but keep in mind sometimes you do not see everything that goes on in the cockpit, the video would be more than 10 hours long :) so we cut things here and there...
Hello Hyland Family. Unless it’s all changed since I retired, the handling pilot has to press the nose wheel steering disconnect button. With his hand on the steering tiller, he has to press using the rear of his hand just behind his palm, and only then can he exercise the rudder pedals. It goes without saying, that a straight stretch of taxiway is required. It also goes without saying that this must be done with care, because applying full rudder prematurely, will cause the aircraft to turn !!
