These videos show just how complex keeping track of all the flights really is in busy airports. I give huge props to all the controllers, runway workers and pilots who do this 24/7 without nary a mistake. Keep that in mind on your next flight. 😉
Can't second THAT. From what I've noticed it's a set of standards rigorously rubbed in to the extreme. Once that happens it's from then on the building up of 'routine'. I don't think that you can REALLY prepare for disaster, because the machine is more computer programmed than man programmed.......Correct me if I'm wrong!!
@@gunorijssel7987 No matter how computerized a system is, if there's a human element there's "always" room for error, ALWAYS. It may rarely happen, but it only takes one. 😉
@@jeffg1524 Of course, the machine can't fly itself. It's not a 'chess computer'. Still, from what I've seen, as far as take off is concerned IT ALL BOILS DOWN to activities between 'push back and take off(ROTATE!). As far as LANDING is concerned IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO 1. end of auto pilot; 2. control landing checklist; and follow orders from the Tower(reduce height to 80, reduce speed). 100: continue, 50, 40, 30, minimum etc. Once you're in the air, things become pretty boring!
I hate flying but watching these guys skills always helps a bit, supremely professional people who clearly have a passion for flying, great crew interaction , fabulous insight into the prep before the actual flight. Love it
@@brendankearney3070 And you are a tool. Fiona is already an A320 Captain, and won't be changing your diapers when you crap yourself from being such a caveman.
What an outstanding crew, crisp instructions yet remained respectful to each other, and even included the 3rd pilot for questions. Lov e flying in/out of SF! Very talented group of flying professionals.
Love listening to the Irish accent! I've been on board the SF to Dublin a couple of times, latest in August 2017 after the solar eclipse. Nice thought if Fiona and Co. was our flight crew back then
Extraordinary images from the cockpit. I may as well have been in San Fran. Congrats to all involved. Beautiful takeoff First Officer. Love her attention to detail during taxi.
The SAS is the bigger four engine brother of the A330. (A340). The A330 can do well over 10 hours of flying with only two engines and certified for up to 3 hours on a single engine. Depending on the time of year the 0100 Dublin time would be either around 1800-1900 SFO time looks like closer to winter and a twilight departure which can make a good cockpit video. Good job Fiona and crew.
If it's One thing I've learned from watching videos like this, nav'g around the airport from one taxi to the other & the runways has become Far more challenging than just flying itself.
GroomLeader no lol, if you want good prices to Ireland, check out Norwegian airlines. Flights from New York to Shannon or Dublin for 69$ and up. No more than 150$ Sadly they stopped
Flex temp 51....that means the engines are producing a thrust setting as if the OUtside temperature is 51 Celsius...that reduces the engine power but still provides plenty of power for a safe and legal climb speed which allows you to clean up the undercarriage. Saves major wear and tear on the engines and keeps them lasting longer...
Look at the big brain on Einkoled....lol. Yes Assumed Temperature is another term. Flex and Assumed temp are basically different terminology but the same concept. Kind of like vehicle manufacturers using different terms for same system. Quattro, X-Drive, 4MATIC, etc..... Nice view of the British Airways A380 Landing and taxing by. Super is the new wake turbulence category for the design, weight and spacing for the A380. Heavy is the next category down. Note how her head is on a swivel during taxi especially when crossing active runway. The Captain is steering the aircraft but she is backing up traffic calls and watching for the other aircraft to make sure they keep the spacing.
EinkOLED not necessarily explaining to you, sounds like you have a handle on things. The explaining is for the other readers that probably don’t know Bupkus about jet engine performance.
Excellent briefing by Lady Pilot and response by Captain in command. Good holding and traffic control by ATC controller. Very efficient rolling and rotate by lady Fiona. A job so well done. Bravo ! Happy landings. Beautiful video. Thanks a lot. Appreciate !
She will be a captain when she gets enough seniority, and not because she is better at anything because she is female. That’s how it works, there isn’t a “captains board” that meets and decides. She was hired because she is capable of being a captain, just like everybody.... female nor skill has anything to do with it.
Mark g Not true outside the US. In Europe, pilot promotions to Captain depend on talent, aptitude, exams and flying hours (usually at least 2-3k hours). It’s not uncommon to have Pilots under 30 years old in Command of a commercial airliner.
Anthony 1976 I stand corrected. That’s interesting.... this profession is gettin weird quick. So once she is a captain selectee, can she then fly anything, or does that then depend on seniority? In the US is was not uncommon to wait 15 years or longer to hold that seat. Although depending on specifics recently we have Captains that only have 3 or 4 years of seniority. But NOBODY is hired unless they are CAPABLE of being a captain from a standpoint of merit, license, medical, knowledge, and experience. At a Major Airline anyway. Fiona should be ashamed of the fact they are showcasing her not as a talented pilot, but as a female. The focus of this video isn’t on the crew, it’s just on her. That’s I think is demeaning to females in the profession. Clearly she didn’t do anything wrong in the video, it’s just the whole thing stinks of propaganda by the company.... they have lots of videos, and they are always showcasing the females. Shame on them for missing the whole point of a professional crew, and knowing that they would get less “clicks” from filming a couple of guys doing exactly the same thing. My opinion only....
SFO is my absolute favorite. Challenging approach with parallel landings so close together but the planespotting and views are hard to beat. Excellent filming great communication enhanced with ATC!
I miss flying out of SFO so much. There was an In N Out Burger near by. I would go there before every flight so I could carry-on a dozen double doubles for friends & family back in NJ.
The best airport to fly into in my book,love seeing the bay and the bridge and seeing all the planes in the sky with 3 major international airports so close together traffic in the skies.
The views from the air are cool, but I always assumed flying in and out of SFO was a bit of a pain for aircrews. As the video demonstrates, the two parallel runways can add stress during taxiing. Plus there's been recent near accidents because SFO sometimes closes one of the runways for maintenance and pilots coming in have confused one runway for the other, almost landing on top of departing flights. Considering how much traffic they have to manage it's a relatively small airport so it can get hectic.
Huge admiration to these. I work as an order picker and end up with my mind wondering onto other stuff whilst working. But these need 100% concentration at all times. Odd working hours too.
Top professionals who understand that teamwork is not about personal gain, nor a mechanism for sacrificing skillsets due to the fact you are sharing them. Well done Aer Lingus. Looking forward to flying with you
@@supremeaviation570 cuz everytime a female pilot is in a video, everyone goes "vErY pRoFesSiONaL" or "i'D fLy WiTh hEr". She didnt do anything special in the vid, like whats up? She took off in a plane she pretty much flies daily. Stop with the bs
Scott Skadsheim It does appear that she met the minimum standards, just like anybody sitting in an airliner. I agree, what’s the big deal about her being female, nobody even noticed the atrocity of the fact they had a female ramper on the push crew. System must be holding her down cause she is a female? This whole video was nothing more than an airline promoting itself by making a female seem like some sort of extraordinary rock star.... that fact alone should piss off the libs and the fems. She was used. Wonder why they even needed a captain on this flight?
That runway is due to be resurfaced next month, and it sounded like it's ready for it. I'm sorry this didn't go another 10 minutes as I think that departure at dusk out of SFO and making the loop around SF and over the Golden Gate is one of the prettiest departures anywhere.
Subscribed! It’s been a dream of mine to pilot airplanes, but my medical condition prohibits it. So I’m just gonna indulge in videos of pilots being absolute PROs at their job!
Flew with Aer Lingus recently, very safety conscious atmosphere on board which, at the time was a bit annoying, but I appreciated it all the same. It was a nice smooth flight followed by an excellent windy landing. (I was a bit tired and cranky after an earlier long haul 😉)
Excellent job- there is a place for everyone in this world, these people are our future, keep up the good work everyone, we need you, you’re all doing a great job.

Same here !
Good luck. I'm jealous. I always wanted to fly but I think I'm past it now.

What a splendid departure. Fiona, you handled that big bird as if she was just a toddler. Great communication between you and the captain.
In my book pilots are worth every penny they earn, I have the greatest respect for all of them.
people who work on planes air pilots and hostesses are exposed to radiation as well
Very Thorough briefing by Fiona....and well supported by a laid back Captain, Love the Efficiency

lovely professional crew. well done to aer lingus.
Always love the early night take off videos Not completely dark but dark enough to have some great city views
It doesn't get any better. Enjoyed the footage of the parallel landings. Tight crew. Fiona will be left seat before long. Top shelf.

One of the best videos. Great crew, beautiful views, and I’m sure everyone noticed but that girl on SFO tower was kicking ass & pushing tin

fixpacifica Yes, I thought one of the pilots would comment, “...runway is a bumpy ride!”
I agree, it would be nice if they showed a bit more
Not nearly so bumpy if you stop hitting the runway centerline lights with your nose wheel. 28R is rougher.
Some feedback from me, the radio chatter is a little loud and sometimes you can't hear the crew very well
Great video

Beautifully filmed - must get back to SFO soon
