AMAZING footage! I LOVE to fly and LOVE the take-offs! So neat to hear the different engine sounds as the pilot powers down and up as he needs to. Great job and clip!!
Your videos are always the best! I now can enjoy them in High Def on my 32 inch TV because I have You Tube there... and they look awesome! Keep up the great videos and have a wonderful flight! :)
you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last months =)
Click on the flightaware link in his description. It'll show you. LAX has a SID that takes you straight out of the airport over the ocean for a while, then you begin your turn to wherever your flight plan is. They turned back inland to meet up with the filed flight route, then gently turned back to the north again.
How did you record the audio and the video? Did you attach a camera to the window? A mic to the window? I take it that it was a 2 channel recording, one into the head phone jack for the pilot / f'light attendant and another for the mic picking up all the plane sounds?
west over the pacific...if you check the flightaware link in the description, you will see....they go through the North American west coast, all the way to near Alaska, and then head west...then go down the Asian east cost all the way down to Shangai
In January, United Airlines will start using its new Boeing 787 'Dreamliner' aircraft on the route, replacing the Boeing 777 currently being used on LAX-PVG.
Absolutely fantastic video! I've got a couple questions for you, if you don't mind. First, what sort of camera are you using and how do you keep it so steady? Is it attached to the window with suction cups like a GoPro? Also, why did you guys turn back? It looks as if you guys turned back over land and are heading east. ?? I would think you'd be over the Pacific the entire time. Anyway, great video! Hopefully I can get my videos to your level. :)
Wow! Awesome video shoot.What digital camera or camcorder did you use to take this awesome video? Because I'm making plans to fly to Hong Kong next year and i would love to get takeoff shots like you did and can you suggest what camera or camcorder should I use please?
Brian James Hey Brian. I'm using Sony camera. IMO, Sony takes better video. I've used Canon and I was not impressed (went back to Costco). I should try GoPro camera though. :)
thanks for the info...i like the images that come from GoPro, but your stuff is so good - maybe it's the HD quality too...and I love the Channel 9 too - keep flying!
Thanks Brian. Problem I have with GoPro camera is that it doesn't have a viewfinder. Without a viewfinder, it'll be difficult know where the camera is pointing at.
You pretty much have the gist of it. But if you want to learn more, check out one of Captain Joe's videos here: th-cam.com/video/XBZULOoe94U/w-d-xo.html
For those of you who are rather surprised at the flight path, two engine 777s are not permitted to fly long, over-water, coast-to-coast, trans-Pacific routes under ETOPs rules. Instead, they must follow a coastal path along western America, Canada, Alaska, Japan, etc. to destination. In many instances, this is actually the shortest route, and certainly the safest one. Air Canada's Toronto to Hong Kong route takes passengers due north over the arctic circle, down through Mongolia and mainland China, before descending to Hong Kong. This is done with a 777-333ER. The plane doesn't fly over the Pacific Ocean, except in the latter final approach to the airport, which is situated on a man-made island.
Actually, the 777's, or any extended range capable twins equipped with ETOPS certified engines are allowed to fly long transoceanic flights, provided the routes do not violate the 180-330 minute rule. (Fun fact: the upcoming A350 is going to be certified for 370 minutes) For example: Air New Zealand routinely flies its 777-300ERs direct from Auckland to Los Angeles. As you stated, the reason this particular flight is taking a northerly route along the U.S. west coast and on up along Canada, Alaska, etc. is because it is by far the shortest distance, not necessarily due to ETOPS restrictions. Conversely, ETOPS can also apply to certain over terrain flights as well. Such as the Andes and Himalayas, as well as most of Siberia, Antarctica and the Sahara and Gobi Deserts. And although it is not widely known about or discussed, the quads (A340, A380, 747) are also required meet ETOPS certification standards.
Flights from the US headed to somewhere in Asia go north near Alaska. However flights from Asia to the US go straight through the Pacific because that's where all the tailwind is. Take a look on Flightradar24

The "chatter" between the control tower and pilots is so fast that I can barely understand what they are saying. Like at 2:03, I have NO idea what the hell that woman just said, even after multiple listens. I guess I could never be a pilot.
United 877 heavy ('heavy' meaning their plane is capable of taking off while weighing more than 255,000 lbs), Socal Departure (who she is) radar contact, (meaning their transponder is working correctly as she seems them on her radar), climb and maintain 9,000 (feet)
It's only temporary, busy airspace like Socal they'll keep you low for a bit so you don't crash into arrivals descending in... the next controller will give you higher, might not be till the 4th or 5th controller that you get the final altitude you want.
The interim altitudes are assigned to assure separation and because she can't assign you an altitude above the limit of her sector. You might not actually have to level at that altitude before she or the next guy give you higher.
I think they were on the vtu5 departure, their next waypoint is a vor which is on land. Their route continues up towards the NE US and eventually turn towards the pacific ocean onto China. Remember the world is not flat and the route they took would save precious time if they had actually went towards china from their initial position.
Flight att nearly ruined the video, but it's still one of the best 777-200 take this is my opinion. Interesting flight path, why using a 777-200? Doesn't it struggle to do such a long route?
No. This is a 777-200ER. Despite the PW4090s, it's still got well over 7500nm range, which this route doesn't even come close to. GE90 and Trent800 powered 772ERs can get up past 7700nm. And then there's of course the 777-200LR, which is the longest ranged commercial aircraft ever made. Granted, United doesn't have any, but still.
Beautiful video, but are you sure you posted the right one? I would foam at the mouth if I looked out the window 20 mins into a flight from LAX to PVG and saw farm land and no ocean in sight.
He went out over the Pacific as the overwhelming majority of flights do leaving LAX. He hooked back and at 7:05 the dark mass in the distance is Catalina Island, the prominent dark mass to the left of that is the hump of Palos Vedes Estates and you can see the sandy coastline of the LA Basin and it looks like the white, blotchy are that looks like a desert is Los Angeles International Airport. He was vectored up to fly up over the State before venturing over the Pacific most likely to avoid inbound traffic from Asia or South America.
Looks really heavy. Long roll for a 772er at around 8000 feet. Also very powerful, so powerful I can't even hear the compressor buzz as it rips down the runway and lifts off.
What the heck? It looks like you've circled back around and are heading East over land? I thought China was West, flying over the Pacific. What in TARNATION am I missing?
I am not all that happy to see the 787 coming to this route - E has narrower&harder "CO" seats, biz has the short "CO" seas, and F goes the "CO" way (No F cabin to speak of!). CO sure is the best. NOT
A person 6 feet tall can stand inside the engine of a 777 and jump as high as they can and more than likely not be able to touch the top... I have tried many times and I can dunk a basketball LOL
The interior diameter of the engine shown here is "only" 94 inches. A 6ft (72in) man could probably just raise his hands and touch that, no jumping required.
Tierren32 The GE90-115B has a diameter of 128inches, yes, I'm well aware. But pay attention to what I just said: "the engine shown here" is a PW4090, which has a 94in diameter.
I'm surprised flight plan was over land and not sea! Nice vid except for the aging sounding flight attendant who did not sound professional at all.... what up United???
Nice vid except for the most annoying flight attendant with the scratchy voice. Interesting flyout and inland turn over the valley and northern route over the state.
![20 MINUTES IN AMAZING NIGHT PLANE SPOTTING at Haneda Airport [HND/RJTT]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TQG8kqTx-Nc/mqdefault.jpg)
these types of videos are my very favorite... Thank you so much!
Wow, love this one, awesome wing/engine view, and sights of LA during take off....a classic LAX take off clip
Crazy to see the massive amounts of air these engines pull in
This route LAX-PVG is now flying with the 787-8 Dreamliner.
And United is switching to 787-9 next year.
nice! only thing missing was the landing adter the approach.
liked!
Hey Dnhug! Thanks for your complement! I checked out your channel and it's total awesome sauce! You in CH?
***** Thanks Man!! Yes, i live next to the airport of Zurich, and yourself? Great vids il check them out, cheers,dom
AMAZING footage! I LOVE to fly and LOVE the take-offs! So neat to hear the different engine sounds as the pilot powers down and up as he needs to. Great job and clip!!
This video is absolutely amazing!
Really nice video. The sound is amazing.
Those Smoky P&W 4000s are awesome
Aint Smoke pale ... is humidity,moisture
Your videos are always the best! I now can enjoy them in High Def on my 32 inch TV because I have You Tube there... and they look awesome! Keep up the great videos and have a wonderful flight! :)
An absolutely wonderful video! As someone who also films takeoffs and landings, I have to say yours are the best on youtube.
What a consedatiob during take off!
Great video
Gotta lovev those PW4000-112's
Cool video love that engine thrust & live ATC feeds.
Refreshing to watch one of these videos and not having to sit through 15 minutes of taxiing.
Fantastic! Loved the video.
Awesome video. One of my favorite views.
one of the best lax takeoff on youtube!
Amazing video !! thank you very much ! and thanks for the flight info :)
Damn a good 45.8 seconds to take this beast into the air (:
you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last months =)
@Byron Deacon Yup, I have been using Instaflixxer for years myself :D
飛機起飛的feeling; 又驚又喜!
Awesome..Full experience..respect dude!
On some United airplanes, you can listen to ATC on channel 9 in your audio controls
beautiful take off!
What views! This is a fantastic video.
i love that sound 0:46
Enjoyed the video it looked a great flight
AMAZING Quality and Channel 9..........GORGEOUS :-)
Click on the flightaware link in his description. It'll show you.

They turned back inland to meet up with the filed flight route, then gently turned back to the north again.
aye,crystal clear this one.
The view from the window reminded me of my flight up to northern California.
How did you record the audio and the video? Did you attach a camera to the window? A mic to the window? I take it that it was a 2 channel recording, one into the head phone jack for the pilot / f'light attendant and another for the mic picking up all the plane sounds?
Great video there, brilliant.
Stunning !!
Very very good video.

what do you use to hear the act....how do you find the channels??
wow what a lot of engine condensation on takeoff! must be a lot of humidity in the air/area. great video btw!
My favorite part is when he cuts the power back at 2:40! The white spiny thingy even slows!
I love United ATC
Interesting flight path!! :)

it takes about 15 hours from LAX to PVG.
great video and sound ;)
Great job!
Liked and subscribed!
How did you managed to add the ATC?
Love it. Makes me want to get out of my office and switch with you.
awesome dude
Which configuration / J seat did you get.
Good job on this video. Very well done.
Do you have a video of the landing at PVG?
Excellent work :D
Great video...
great video!!
awesome *___*
Great Video!! How did you get the controllers?
What seat were you in? Great video
ice video, too nice to live ATC assessors. I've never seen on youtube because! How do you do that?
Wow! Awesome video shoot.What digital camera or camcorder did you use to take this awesome video? Because I'm making plans to fly to Hong Kong next year and i would love to get takeoff shots like you did and can you suggest what camera or camcorder should I use please?
I'd like to know too - is GoPro the answer?
Brian James Hey Brian. I'm using Sony camera. IMO, Sony takes better video. I've used Canon and I was not impressed (went back to Costco). I should try GoPro camera though. :)

Triple7Diehard4ever
how did u recorded the liveATC sound while onboard? o.O
How did you get your camera this still?
When the term "heavy" is used, just what is meant. Is it the actual or potential weight of the aircraft or cargo or what?
You pretty much have the gist of it. But if you want to learn more, check out one of Captain Joe's videos here: th-cam.com/video/XBZULOoe94U/w-d-xo.html
what cabin first class????
How many hours did you fly to Shanghai?
Absolutely spectacular video Bret!! The shot of the engine sucking in the marine air is brilliant. What camera do you use for these videos?
that these sounds so strange in the turbine ?

What the hell are you talking about
Philippine Airlines' 77W flies far from the coast if it's a return leg from YVR, SFO, or LAX
Flights from the US headed to somewhere in Asia go north near Alaska. However flights from Asia to the US go straight through the Pacific because that's where all the tailwind is. Take a look on Flightradar24
The "chatter" between the control tower and pilots is so fast that I can barely understand what they are saying. Like at 2:03, I have NO idea what the hell that woman just said, even after multiple listens. I guess I could never be a pilot.
Is called professional jargon.

Sounds like she's giving a handoff "877 heavy departure contact maintain 19er thousand. to stair up in the airspace.
yes it's 777-200, the wing 777-200 is different with 777-300
2m40 = reduce power thrust ? :)
I think they were on the vtu5 departure, their next waypoint is a vor which is on land. Their route continues up towards the NE US and eventually turn towards the pacific ocean onto China.

Live from the Cockpit is Channel 9.
Beautiful video, but are you sure you posted the right one? I would foam at the mouth if I looked out the window 20 mins into a flight from LAX to PVG and saw farm land and no ocean in sight.
Same question, no ocean and only land after 20 minutes.
He went out over the Pacific as the overwhelming majority of flights do leaving LAX. He hooked back and at 7:05 the dark mass in the distance is Catalina Island, the prominent dark mass to the left of that is the hump of Palos Vedes Estates and you can see the sandy coastline of the LA Basin and it looks like the white, blotchy are that looks like a desert is Los Angeles International Airport.

Nothing like a Boeing 777 take off !
cool
I do think these airline stewardesses that make these announcements like to hear themselves talk! This one sure made a speech!!
GoPro Takeoff?
Hey Chris. Not GoPro camera. Point and Shoot camera.
Nice, Liked!
I'm assuming this is a 777-200 am I right?
Yep. PW operated. And it's smoky! 😂😂😂
You would be right, that's all United flies in the 200 series
these look and sound like pratt and whitney turbines...dam long take off role must be really heavy
Looks really heavy. Long roll for a 772er at around 8000 feet. Also very powerful, so powerful I can't even hear the compressor buzz as it rips down the runway and lifts off.
From one smogtropolis to another.
no problems
PW4090. 😮
sounds to me like, let me get the fuck off, the thing is rusting apart!!!!!!!!!
What the heck? It looks like you've circled back around and are heading East over land? I thought China was West, flying over the Pacific. What in TARNATION am I missing?
Flight attendant is cute. Don't give a damn on others' crap about her.
Shanghai's is very similar to los angeles.
Yes 777-200ER
I am not all that happy to see the 787 coming to this route - E has narrower&harder "CO" seats, biz has the short "CO" seas, and F goes the "CO" way (No F cabin to speak of!). CO sure is the best. NOT

ImmortalSynn The Boeing 777 Engine has a diameter of about 10 feet
Tierren32
The GE90-115B has a diameter of 128inches, yes, I'm well aware.
But pay attention to what I just said: "the engine shown here" is a PW4090, which has a 94in diameter.
ImmortalSynn wrong
PW4090 has a 112 inch diameter
And sorry for late reply
landing? but it's take off
PW4000s @TOGA MAX
I think the takeoff is orgasmic, lol
I'm surprised flight plan was over land and not sea! Nice vid except for the aging sounding flight attendant who did not sound professional at all.... what up United???
Interesting flight path...you'd think the plane would head directly over the ocean coward's Hawaii
Nice vid except for the most annoying flight attendant with the scratchy voice. Interesting flyout and inland turn over the valley and northern route over the state.
The flight attendant talks alot, that is so headach!
OMg...the Flight attendant's accent when he spoke chinese.....*cringe*
lol!
