As long as the person doing the spraying doesn't cover my window with fluid, I enjoy filming and watching the de-icing process. Unfortunately, half of the time they cover my window haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
Nice my friend. Many other people have left similar comments and I'm glad they can help with that. I'm probably one of the few channels who takes "I use your video to help me fall asleep" as a compliment haha. Thanks for watching my friend. Or listening haha!
Very cool We are actually getting direct flights to Calgary on WestJet from here in Raleigh-Durham this coming summer. If Calgary is my destination, I don't know if I'll go during the cold months 😂
Great fly! Remember you said you get a toll refund if you don't use the whole turnpike on Will Rogers Turnpike to/from airport? Guess what, that doesn't happen anymore since November 20, 2024 because it is the last turnpike that has been converted from cash payment to all-electronic tolling (PlatePay).
Yes, I'm aware. They've had signs up for months about the change over and they had a pamphlet in with my new tag that I had to get recently after I had to get my windshield replaced.
Well, I’d be the first to admit that I don’t know what the 737 has or doesn’t have when it comes to this, but I do know generally what a stick shaker does. And like so many other safeguards in aviation, they’re often designed to prevent accidents by warning the pilots of an impending problem. So, as I understand it, a stick shaker doesn’t really do anything to prevent the stall, it’s more of a “warning” to get the pilots attention. See, there have been many documented crashes in aviation that ultimately were caused by pilots getting too focused on one issue and then loosing situational awareness to other things happening in the cockpit. For example, and I don’t remember the exact flight number, but it was an Eastern Airlines L1011 that crashed in the Florida Everglades. When the pilots lowered the landing gear, one of the landing gear light indicators that show when the gear is down and locked didn’t illuminate. Because of this, the pilots abandoned their approach and began troubleshooting. They switched the autopilot on and started trying to figure out if their landing gear was in fact deployed. Well, when one of the two pilots got up from his seat, they bumped the yoke, and at the time, in L1011’s this caused the autopilot to disengage as it was thought that if the pilots pushed the yoke they meant they wanted to take over control form the autopilot. Well that wasn’t what was happening… The pilot was just getting out of his seat to see if he could visually see the gear deployed. L1011’s also had a small viewing window in an accessible maintenance hatch where pilots could look at the gear. Well, neither he, nor the copilot (who was troubleshooting the landing gear light) noticed that the autopilot had disengaged… there was no audible warning, there was no change in lighting on the control panel, and there was no TCAS back then… The two pilots became so focused on what was later determined to be a burned our lightbulb, that they completely lost situational awareness and neither of them noticed that they were losing altitude. The plane crashed into the Everglades. The crew having never noticed they were descending. They were still discussing the landing gear light when the plane hit the ground. 101 of the 176 souls sadly perished. And that is a tragic and sad story, but it and other crashes like it are directly responsible for safety features that are now common. Today in aviation, hitting the yoke or joystick doesn’t disengage the autopilot, when the autopilot does disengage there is now an audible warning, and TCAS (terrain collision avoidance system) is now mandatory on all commercial aircraft. TCAS is the system that audibly warns crews of terrain. I’m sure you’ve heard it before. The “whoop whoop terrain, whoop whoop terrain, pull up, pull up!” Again, all of those warnings and safeguards are in place now because of unfortunate tragedies in the past. And like all of those safeguards, stick shakers are designed to warn the pilots. In effect, they’re there to say… “Hey! Pilots! Don’t loose situational awareness here! Something is wrong! Check your airspeed, check your angle of attack, you’re about to stall!” We are all human and even highly trained professionals can get hyper focused on something and forget to monitor other important things. A stick shaker is ultimately a warning to the pilot that they need to check their other instruments because something isn’t right.
Not quite haha. In fact it really probably makes it more susceptible to dirt build up over time as the de-icing fluid can be quite sticky once it dries. The fluid they use to de-ice aircraft, like seen here, is the orange fluid you see first and is an ethylene glycol based fluid that comes in concentrate form. Its concentrate is very thick, like syrup. It's then mixed with water and heated to 160-180 degrees F before being sprayed on the wing. The heat then melts any water based contamination on the wing. While the ethylene glycol base prevents the water leftover on the wing from re-freezing. Then you have the anti-ice fluid that is the green fluid you see. It is also an ethylene glycol based fluid and is not watered down before application. It's also applied cold. Its consistency is more like jelly. It's very thick and is designed to protect the wing from further contamination. Basically any snow or ice that is still falling on the wing falls on it, and just basically gets absorbed by the ethylene glycol fluid. The anti-ice fluid is also designed to adhere to the wing until the aircraft hits around 100mph. At that time the fluid is designed to sheer off the wing. Leaving behind a clean and contaminant free wing to provide the aircraft with as all the lift it needs. It looks haphazard and messy when it's being done, but it's actually a very exact and precise method used to keep the plane safe in winter weather conditions. Back in my days working for Envoy Air I used to be involved in the de-icing process at my station and there were pretty precise and detailed calculations that went into the process every time you needed to de-ice an aircraft. All the way down to exactly how much water to add to the de-icing concentrate, and even down to how long that mixture would protect the wing based on each different type of possible conditions. Once we'd finish de-icing the aircraft, I'd have to get on the radio and tell the crew something to the effect of "Envoy 3448, this is ice man, I can certify that your aircraft has been de-iced properly and is free of contamination. Your hold over time is X amount of time. Should you exceed that hold over time your aircraft will need to be de-iced again to ensure no contamination is present." Why the standard was to be called ice man, I have no idea, but that was the jargon haha. Honestly, it's all pretty fascinating how much goes into it.
You can only hear the engine buzz when sitting in front of the wing/engines. When you sit over the wing or behind the wing you will not hear it. So, that's a good way to tell pretty quickly if you'll hear it in a video or not. If you can't see the engine form where you're sitting, you won't hear the buzz. Thanks for watching my friend.
@@TristenChenLife Well that depends on the airline and their configuration, but generally on a 737-800 you'd be looking around row 6-8 for the best sound.
@sla31 I sat in the front of Southwest flights 899 and 4355 from SJC to SAN and back, and the buzz could be heard but a little quiet. Yeah I deffinitely think that would be my seat that I'd sit in if I can.
Well as Ben explained, I don’t pin any comments but my own. Because I don’t narrate anything in my videos, using pinned comments is the best way for me to get info out to people. I will give you a heart though!

Thats cool to watch! 👍👍
Super awesome super amazing captured ! .. and another beautiful sharing adventure upload and share ! .. million thanks again ! ..
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
Very satisfying to see the green stuff slowly fade on the climb.
As long as the person doing the spraying doesn't cover my window with fluid, I enjoy filming and watching the de-icing process. Unfortunately, half of the time they cover my window haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
Fun fact!
I use your videos to help me fall asleep
Nice my friend. Many other people have left similar comments and I'm glad they can help with that. I'm probably one of the few channels who takes "I use your video to help me fall asleep" as a compliment haha. Thanks for watching my friend. Or listening haha!
Nice flight SP good job 👍
Thanks my friend. Glad you enjoyed it!
This video is amazing❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend! Thanks for watching!
Very cool We are actually getting direct flights to Calgary on WestJet from here in Raleigh-Durham this coming summer. If Calgary is my destination, I don't know if I'll go during the cold months 😂
Hey cool my home airport!! RDU 😊
@Neurodivergent_Nat same
@ I always go to the observation deck! It’s amazing
cool
Thanks for watching my friend!

Have you ever been to Halifax Canada?
I have not, no. It is a part of Canada I have yet to visit.
Can you explain the concept of "stick shaker" and "stick pusher" on the Boeing 737-800, and how they help prevent stalls?
737 has no stick pusher system
@kmccamis oh

Can I please gat a pin? Nice vid btw.
He would never pin comment because he reserved that for new and announcement, including his 33 flights.
