So far one of the most competent captain I have ever seen or heard chapeau bas 👏
Love the 747-400s; it's a beautiful and amazing plane. I enjoy meeting these pilots and listening to and watching as they control this awesome aircraft. It's sad that they no longer fly, but at least we can see them on here. Same with that 747 from KLM in front of them. I'll miss those 747-400's as passenger use. I love hearing the engine's startup, and this takeoff was awesome; the plane sounds amazing. It was great to see other planes during the taxi as well. Beautiful night departure and an awesome video. I love it.
I just love how the captain greets everybody in Spanish. I have heard him several times in the frequency. BTW Air France pilots are usually very nice whenever they are in MEX.
Courteous and hospitable captain. Great human
ok how wonderful is my passion since childhood
Fantastic experience seeing the pilots in pre flight preparation y takeoff , thanks for allowing me to see.. it’s my passion since little boy
I love how the French pilot calls many people speaking Spanish on frequency in Mexico a threat... as if it were much different in France or really in any country with their respective language.
(And yeah I know it is a threat indeed)
You’re right it is threat anywhere with any local language. The only thing with the french is that the level of ATC standard is actually really good (when not on strike) and they will pass any relevant information reported by french crew if necessary to non french crew. That doesn’t happen in South America or in Spain for instance. But I agree with your point.
Actually not so true. ATC english level standards in France are pretty strict, some airports are well-known to be lacking, compared to others. It's not even a question of origins cause I could name you many EU ones that lacked in the language/communication department.
I think the pilot is actually Mexican or from another Latinamerican country.
MEX can be tricky for a foreign pilot. Specially a 747 crew. It is tricky enough for us Mexicans.
This channel has inspired me to send my son to the flying school , it’s the one of the world most prestigious profession.
2:55 A nostalgic sighting of a KLM 747 combi loading cargo onto the main deck
KLM on combie 747
use to load horses near the aft cargo door,
Pax flights the cabin was sealt of.
Its deff a strange sight but i work at Air France/KLM Cargo at O'hare airport so its an everyday thing
This crew is so very delightful, especially the pleasant captain.
You’re truly a great communicator and teacher.. thank You for sharing your knowledge! Love this !
I love these cockpit vids, and it was really cool seeing that KLM Combi(?) at the gate in front of the AF 747. I flew on an AF Combi (LAX - CDG) back in the late 80's.
Can't believe it's been 4 years since Air France retired it's 747s
JP......Great to see this vid.....also great to see the "KLM"!
Thank you for get us inside the cockpit....Top Crew....Chapeau!
Well done JP......have a great new week;) stay connected!
Lovely greetings.....Betsy.
My favorite, 747-400🤩.
Excellent, excellent captain
Another absolutely fantastic video thanku so much have a beautiful day much love and god bless x
Fantastic video Thanks JP
Wow. Air france retired the queen of the sky 4 years ago.
What a fantastic flight
Bravo chers collègues !!!!
Can’t wait.
Great team, these ca
Fantastic great riders
Fantástico
So weird seeing people without face masks. Wish times were back to normal.
You must not live in the US. Most of the white women for some reason here don’t wear them.
Right and probably a long long time before we see that again unfortunately!
The Pilot said “the aircraft...nothing special” these days being the captain of a passenger 747-400 is very special
RIP airline now ! Interjet! 😢
Kinds strange that everytime I flew to Mexico (most of the times with KLM) Air France was there with the 777-200
Passengers - checked. Smell - checked. Pre-takeoff checklist completed.
AIRFRANCE NOSSA.
Not a good idea to worry cabin crew with 'moderate turbulence' remarks. A forecast is a prediction not a guarantee.
The communications between the Captain toward the FO was a bit surprising to me compared to other cockpit videos I’ve watched...I thought the Captain was very controlling throughout the entire departure preparations. The Captain even reflected regarding his comments to the FO, “not to micromanage, but...”. The FO seemed distracted or a bit unsure by the constant bantering by the Captain. Although not a pilot, I have been trained in the medical model of crew resource management...checklists, briefings, debriefings, and communication in a crisis. I think much of what the Captain said should have been briefed earlier...but when you have a controlling personality, it can intimidate or stifle communication when a crisis actually happens...Comments, anyone...
I agree the Capt was rather 'instructional'. I was wondering if the FO could possibly be low-time on the type? Thought the FO did a good job.
@@H-Zazoo Yes, the FO was solid....the Captain, nothing like I have ever watched with Lufthansa or BA videos.... just saying... individual personalities always come into play. When I concluded watching this video, it scrolled into another AF video with the same Captain... I couldn’t stay with it...
@@williamritchey9852 The skipper sounds dutch to me... would explain it. It's a thing in this industry...
BRAGA NETTO
BRAGA NETTO - AIRFRANCE - MILÊNIO.
And the Captain is ......Kevin Spacey .
Class. So around 10000 kg per hour a 747 burns and the fuel is a third of the planes weight? Unreal
Is this footage new?
Its a few years old. You can always click on the link in the description and that gives you the flight information.
Pilote air France ?
🇧🇷
Her goruntuye yorum olmaz 3:37
KLM 747 :)
I don't know how to manipulate boeing 747
OK
I….don’t think I want to fly with them. No checklists. I don’t care how good a pilot you are, no checklists is a red flag. How many people have lost their lives because flaps weren’t set properly? Checklists.
when will go dominican republic puerto plata pop MDPP.
Did anyone else note that he didn’t have much runway left after that rotation?
I think the wide angle lens distorts perspective. Also keep in mind that the aircraft is still accelerating.
A380 Etihad the best
It hurts the heart this copilot with his poor English, decidedly the French are at the bottom
I wonder how he even manages to talk to the ATC
Fortunately, the captain saves the team
There’s nothing wrong with his English. It’s probably better than your French.
Boeing the have the worst air crash in history right
@Lily Kim Cao; The boeing 787 and 777 have never had a crash however The A380 almost had two Catastrphic crashes w Quantas if it wasn't for the great skill of the Quantas Pilots w would have about 800 soul dead because of that Plane
@@darthscipio5289 I'm sorry to say, but the 777 has crashed. Remember BA38.
Combi
If i'm not mistaken they had only full pax at that time. I can't remember handling an AF combi.
Nothing special, good weather here but better in Paris...-French pilot👮😂😂😂
