I'm just back from one of the most difficult approach I've flown so far. Thunderstorms all around, St Elmo fire (google it if you want to see what it's like, electric arcs across the windshield), hail and heavy rain, I flew the approach manually and made a smooth landing despite the strong crosswind. Believe me, there is nothing more rewarding than to fly a nice approach in those conditions, this is just an awesome feeling and it made my day! I hope you guys will get to experience this someday!
That motivates me to make more videos, thanks a lot for your comment! Alright then, I'll try to make a new one this week, I have plenty of video footage, stay tuned!
I remember finding this video a few years ago during my pilot studies and watching it over and over again whenever I felt the need for a motivational boost especially during the theoretical studies. Now coming back to this video and remembering those endless days and nights in front of my book really brings a smile to my face :) Within the last year I have finished flight school, successfully completed a recruitment process, passed the TR and also just a few weeks back successfully passed my Line Flying Check. Something that felt really distant to me the last time I saw this video is now my everyday reality and I truly and honestly can say it is all worth it! I am living my dream at the age of just 22! Never quit dreaming, never stop. Always chase your passion no matter what! You WILL succeed and it is never too late!
Anybody that thumbs down this video or any of the other videos from this guy has some serious jealousy issues to deal with. Absolutely amazing recordings, and i am totally envious!
@CTCNico Right, sorry for all those who've been asking, I forgot to reply and was busy flying ... (in the nice winter weather, de-icing, snow, CAT III approaches, well fun)! I started filming for the next video ... So, musics are (all tracks are from Audiomachine): - Eterna (0:00 until 1:28) - Breath and Life (1:29 until 2:52) - Ashes to Ashes (2:53 until 4:07) - Eternal Flames (4:08 until 5:32) They've just released a new album (Epica)
I've watched this video at least, 50 times ans I will keep on watching it. It's amazing and when you realize about the majestic natural shows, you think you're nothing compared with this beautiful world. I love aviation I would be the happiest person in the whole world if someday I could be up there. Congratulations for all the air professional workers!!!
Great Video...I know how hard it is to upload these HD videos...Takes me 9 hours to upload a 1 hour video...and at times the upload fails right at the end...very annoying haha...
You just made my day. Thanks for sharing the awesome beauty of sight and sound we so often take for granted. Keep up the great work both in and out of the cockpit!
About two thirds of fully trained pilots out of school in Europe do NOT get a job as a pilot. I don't think this figure is much higher in other parts of the world either. While it is a great job, it does have drawbacks and it certainly isn't an easy life. Getting a pilot job requires a little more than just having the proper licenses. People have to fight for it and those who aren't ready for that will simply not land a job in a cockpit anytime soon.
During autolands, the Captain has its hands on the controls and looks outside the whole time, the First Officer checks all the instruments, ILS, Speed, altitude and if anything is not within certain tight limits they initiate a go-around. During the flare, the Captain follows the plane on the controls and if doesn't like what the autopilot is doing, he can still disconnect at anytime or force the controls (i.e. pull back the power to idle or add a few %N1).
Are you a pilot? Autoland is only used when weather conditions don't allow a normal CAT I landing. That's why it's called "CAT II or CAT III autoland". You cannot do an autoland on a CAT I. ATC will report "CAT III in use" and unless your plane is equipped with a HUD, you will have to let the autopilots do the job for you. Now I do agree we tend to use too much automation, you can look for "children of Magenta" on youtube, it explains it very well.
G/S in white and smaller prints means the mode is armed but not yet activated. When it becomes green, it is activated and the green box around it stays on for 10 seconds. The AP won't allow to capture the G/S before the LOC. Just before capturing, we were in LVL CHG (pitch for speed and thrust to idle). A/T mode is "ARM" (you can move it freely but by default it's in idle) and vertical mode is MCP Speed, the higher the speed the higher the descent rate as it pitches down to catch the MCP speed.
If you hesitate between pilot and something else, do something else. Now that doesn't mean you have to give up on your dream, but you have to be sure to do the right thing. Being a pilot is not just filming nice views from a 737, it is years and years of struggle and low paid jobs, flying small and old aircraft to build up your hours before you can even apply to an airline. In the US flying for a regional you're looking at about $18,000 a year. You better be sure you will actually like it, I was
Sounds great, you can also send me a few cameras, a Gopro HD2 (I don't have one just yet), a new lens for my DSLR (Canon EF 70-200 f4 L IS to start with), and ... well, a couple of days off to finish my new video would be great. I also need a faster computer to render all that. I'm kidding of course. One of my videos has been sold though (a short 2 min footage inside an A320) for a US TV channel. I had to take the video off youtube then and I don't want to have to do that with the 737 videos.
The AFDS (Autopilot) modes don't really work the same way in reality. But that's too complicated to explain and I don't remember what NGX does exactly. In cruise, AT's set a constant N1 setting and if the speed goes up, it goes up, the engines won't reduce until at least +10kts. In NGX they will (NGX maintains the exact speed you command anyway). Ailerons control, at slow speed the real aircraft has a huge inertia. At high speed, it has almost no inertia, much more sensitive than NGX.
Sure! Dead band is the fact that when you rotate during take-off (you're looking for 15° up, initially), the aircraft stops at 8° (when the tail is close to the ground). You have to double the force on the yoke to continue to lift it up. On landing with flaps 30, the aircraft is not incredibly different from NGX but with flaps 40, the real aircraft just dive as soon as you reduce power. Also, on the real aircraft, you need about 52% N1 on final with Flaps 30, 62% N1 with Flaps 40.
The PMDG 737 is very good for basic FMC inputs, general cockpit layout, overhead panel controls and excellent for graphics. Unfortunately, the flight model itself is completely different from the real aircraft and overall unrealistic. Also, some important features like the "dead band" during rotation are not modelled either. But still a nice game. Sorry I cannot make any video that shows procedures that are company dependent. I'll still try to show some parts of the setup from cold and dark.
Future pilot shortage, if this ever happens, will be in Asia and in the Middle East but the requirements will stay very high (currently 2500h on JAR25 jet aircraft to join EK for example). Situation in the US and in Canada could lead to a lack of pilots. Maybe not a pilot shortage but a lack of qualified pilots with experience, quite probably. But this won't happen in Europe. As for working conditions, it just depends on who you work for, and it takes time to join a major airline. Good luck!
Subscribe, I will upload more. It takes a long time to film the videos and then edit them into one final video. I'm waiting a bit more for my next video as I want it to be like a movie with a story behind it, starting from the hotel room through the journey (or the week) as an airline pilot, flying, travelling, doing paperwork, commuting, visiting cities, etc ... It won't only be filmed in the cockpit this time, I will add many non-cockpit views, but it is even longer to film everything.
I don't want to sound pessimistic but this is only a video. I wanted to show the great side of the job. I am not saying it is a bad but don't be tempted to think everything is great and easy. Most airlines (at least those recruiting) have bad working conditions. The job can be tough when things go wrong (and it does happen fairly often). There is no stability and it is far from what a lot of people expect. Enjoy the video, but think carefully and wisely. I have no regret but some people do ..
@golfcharlie232 My friend, thanks for this excellent video! Really wonderfull... and I agree with you, I'm just finishing my comercial pilot curse here in Brazil, and many people already told me to give up, but I keep my faith until the end. Thank you again for sharing with us this beautifull piece of art!
Well, lets put it like this, my last autoland during a CAT III approach was 3 months ago, and the previous one was another 3 months before that. All the other landings were "manual", usually disconnecting the autopilot between 1000ft and FL200, depending on how busy things get in the flightdeck.
I'm starting the making of a much longer video with ten times better views, filmed with better cameras and it will include a lot of more than just flying. It takes a lot of time to render the video so stay tuned!
That's Boeing procedures to put the start switches on CONT for take-off and landing or during operation of engine anti-ice. Tell me which airlines that was (on the World Air Routes video) so that I make sure I never fly on it?
@FlynHyer I wish I could but I cannot upload anything that shows the airline's operating procedures or ATC communications. I could upload random ATC and aircraft sound but that would be a shame, wouldn't it?
Could have been .. but I don't fly to Bordeaux (I do, but as a passenger), and I don't use Gopro's. Only compact cameras and DSLR + Fisheye lens. See you next time ;)
golfcharlie232.blogspot.com You will find a lot about pilot training, jobs, real life as a pilot, flights on the line, and hundred of photos on this blog. Hope you like it
i came so close to choosing commercial aviation as a career (life long pilot), and at the last minute committed to a business degree. Videos like this make me seriously second guess my decision (more).
Ca vaut pas une compil de passages par terre en JS1 et Nimbus 3 en Afrique du Sud! Hehe! En parlant de planeurs, tu m'emmenes a l'occase qu'on se fasse une petite vidéo aussi! :D
Years and years ago, i was a pilot with a commercial licence looking and searching for a job anywhere in the world without success. The search was going on for 5 years. I had a very boring office job at the time that was killing me....and during that time it was your videos that kept me motivated. Ofcourse my boss wasnt very happy catching me on youtube playing this vid everyday but i didnt care :) its what kept me going back then... Today i am a line check short or 4 stripes on A320, expecting to be released in the next few days. I just want you to know that you had an influence in my life and im sure im not the only one... And for that i am greatful to you. Thank you :)
I have to agree with you there mate, I have been watching this amazing video from when I was young, now couple of years down the line, I have passed my ATPL course and like yourself I am doing my type rate on the Airbus A320 Family for a well know airline in UK/Europe. Thanks and good luck with your '4 stripes' :)
Je suis la de jeudi aprem a dimanche midi la semaine prochaine. Au fait je me demandais, t'avais pu voler en JS1? Ils en ont fait une version 15m ou il n'est qu'en 18?
Gorgeous!! Real aircraft! and I was STUCK IN WHAT SEEMS TO BE PERPETUAL MISERY flying a BUS for 5 years. Those flying 737s should never take it for granted. And should remember they could be flying a bus instead of an aircraft
Go spent your ATL in an Aeroclub , Ik in France it's 110 000€ and after you're pilote or go to an high school of mathematic but tho if you're bad in math u have to choice the first option
To be honest, you don't need to be a genius to be a pilot. You don't need to be the smart type either, what it takes is straight forward reasoning (e.g. Problem -> Options -> Decide and Act). No need to play the Ph.D or engineer in the cockpit, you don't have time for that up there. Now, good grades will still make a good difference as it is more than recommended to get a degree before starting a pilot course. A lot of airlines require one and that's a good fall-back when there's no pilot job.
Thanks guys for the comments, really appreciate it, it's good to see people like it. I spent hours rendering the video, it seems worth it and it makes me want to produce more videos in the future. Please don't hesitate to share the link on Facebook or Twitter and subscribe to my channel.
2:50 is awesome! I practice foggy night time landing with flight simulator using the radio navigation system. It's a fun challenge and awesome when you break out of the clouds at 100 ft with the runway lite up right in front of you.
Ta vidéo donnerait envie à n'importe quel gamin de faire pilote de ligne... Franchement bravo, le montage est bien, on s'ennuie pas, les musiques bien choisies ! Continue, fous nous-en plein la vue encore !!! :-)
Technical Question: What is the benefit of feeding wind date into the flight computer while in cruise or descent? I've seen it in other cockpit videos. Is it just for getting a more accurate determination of your fuel consumption? I'm flying simulator and couldnt get my head around it. Maybe you can help me there? :) Love your videos by the way!
Yeah he's a ryanair pilot , at the beginning of the video he lands at EBCI ( brussels south charleroi airport) in belgium and the only airline to use this airport with 737-800's is Ryanair ;-)
This is a beautiful video, thanks for taking the time to produce it! To all of those teenagers lubricating with this video and wanting to become a pilot now, please bear in mind that real life is NOT a constant change of shots with a beautiful and inspiring music in the background. Becoming a pilot is difficult, working conditions are harder every day, salaries are getting lower and lower.... and the future ain't promising either Be smart and go to college! Then do a PPL and fly for pleasure
Amazing footage i've seen on your quite a few of your videos. Question for you when you got time, do you prefer flying when sun is rising or sun is setting? Thanks for the awesome videos.
become full fledge airline pilot is so relax most of the time if you are the commander. but training to become 1 is the hell in the simulator as well as the line training flight
It is improving right now. More and more senior guys, like me, are retiring at increasing levels. I don't know what your timeline is, but if you can get aboard a commuter airline flying jets and get by for a few years, the future looks bright. I'm talking about huge numbers. I have been with a major U.S. airline for 26 years, now a Captain of the 737. I have a little over three years to reach age 65. You can find the numbers on the internet. There will be thousands of retirements soon.
When I look at your videos they make me think of these words;''Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” and also about these "All men dream: but not equally... the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” I do like your videos,they remind me of the most wonderful time in my life.
I didn't knew you thought i was a pilot! But FlightGear, it isn't great, the graphics suck,but what i love is you can learn very good how airplanes behave :). I learned how to ILS, flare, etc from FlightGear. I want to be a 737 Classic pilot man, very much!! I figured if i stay at school i'll later be making about 2500 EURO's per month, and if i can save 1000 EUR every month, i'll need 100 months to be a regional pilot, which is about 1800 dollars per month :( , and then later a 737 pilot xD.
lawl, nice trolling... I just googled "FlightGear" and it looks really awesome! I just got into 'Vatsim' (A F S X community). I will download FlightGear tomorrow. I might get "FS COMMANDER" were you can make custom flight plans. Do you want to do anything in aviation in life or will you stay a enthusiast for life? Regional pilots are on a shortage because they get payed near to nothing! :/ - Tom From TechnoBuddies
Planes are Majestic beasts, Who agrees!?
I can't agree more
+Alexninja03 I agree. And i miss travelling with an plane, so much :(
Alexninja03 , me, me, me.
I'm a pilot for thompsons and I fly the Boeing 737-800
I have traveled with Boeing 737-800 and was awesome!
I'm just back from one of the most difficult approach I've flown so far. Thunderstorms all around, St Elmo fire (google it if you want to see what it's like, electric arcs across the windshield), hail and heavy rain, I flew the approach manually and made a smooth landing despite the strong crosswind. Believe me, there is nothing more rewarding than to fly a nice approach in those conditions, this is just an awesome feeling and it made my day! I hope you guys will get to experience this someday!
1000 of those veiw are mine......... , i just watch again and again because it so amazing
Indeed, it is amazing.
That motivates me to make more videos, thanks a lot for your comment!
Alright then, I'll try to make a new one this week, I have plenty of video footage, stay tuned!

Never quit dreaming, never stop. Always chase your passion no matter what! You WILL succeed and it is never too late!
Fantastic, great quality as well. Must be great to see the other side of flying :) Jamlidd
Anybody that thumbs down this video or any of the other videos from this guy has some serious jealousy issues to deal with. Absolutely amazing recordings, and i am totally envious!
How many hours do you have to fly per year for Ryanair? :)
he work for Ryanair?:o
@CTCNico Right, sorry for all those who've been asking, I forgot to reply and was busy flying ... (in the nice winter weather, de-icing, snow, CAT III approaches, well fun)! I started filming for the next video ...
So, musics are (all tracks are from Audiomachine):
- Eterna (0:00 until 1:28)
- Breath and Life (1:29 until 2:52)
- Ashes to Ashes (2:53 until 4:07)
- Eternal Flames (4:08 until 5:32)
They've just released a new album (Epica)
Beautiful. This is why we fly.
737 Ryanair :) :) :) :) :) :) Flare 20 feet...gear down flaps 15 ...4 miles ....runway fixes....
I've watched this video at least, 50 times ans I will keep on watching it. It's amazing and when you realize about the majestic natural shows, you think you're nothing compared with this beautiful world. I love aviation I would be the happiest person in the whole world if someday I could be up there. Congratulations for all the air professional workers!!!
Me too
I wanna fly the 737 one day

CAT IIIA approved, no HUD so the Autopilot does the flare all by itself. Autopilots A and B must both be engaged.
i came so close to choosing commercial aviation as a career (life long pilot), and at the last minute committed to a business degree. Videos like this make me seriously second guess my decision (more).
You can still do it.
Same here. I am currently in a business degree but my heart goes to aviation. Considering an aviation career in the near future though.
wow amazing , awesome video and the music , thanks for upload :)

Rodrigodavi makes the A320 videos, and myself takes care of the 737's. I think it works pretty well :)
who would dislike this awesome video
Where is he now? It's been a long time since he put videos
This video is a plane geeks' dream come true :)
I come here times to times to get more motivation .. thanks for the video
Indeed, bay of Marseille, South-East France, coming to land on rwy 31R
This is a Ryanair Boeing 737-800
so beautiful so nice a real dream !!
Epic. That's why we fly.
Thank you.
You have the best job in the world
wonderful video choice with editing,music selection. I watch this particular video at least once everyday. Well done.
Ta vidéo donnerait envie à n'importe quel gamin de faire pilote de ligne... Franchement bravo, le montage est bien, on s'ennuie pas, les musiques bien choisies ! Continue, fous nous-en plein la vue encore !!! :-)
Awesome and a beautiful dream. I love Pmdg, they offer part of this dream with FSX!!!
My future workplace! I just keep working on it every day! One day... :)
You can see Marseille (France) at 4:58 :)
Watched this before my ppl. Now going for my command upgrade. What a journey!
Omg it's really EXACTLY the same as PMDG 737NGX in FSX.
lol
Better say: The 737NGX is exactly the same as this :D
lol :D
WorajTV yeah, stupid Boeing copying pmdg
Technical Question: What is the benefit of feeding wind date into the flight computer while in cruise or descent? I've seen it in other cockpit videos. Is it just for getting a more accurate determination of your fuel consumption? I'm flying simulator and couldnt get my head around it. Maybe you can help me there? :) Love your videos by the way!
Behner Lord Correct. And descent winds help to determine top of descent.
I am an admirer of the Boeing 737. From when I met commercial aviation through the extinguisher, but graded VARIG.!!!
Yeah he's a ryanair pilot , at the beginning of the video he lands at EBCI ( brussels south charleroi airport) in belgium and the only airline to use this airport with 737-800's is Ryanair ;-)
i used to watch this video a lot. some 6-7 years back. when i was a student pilot. Now feels so good because i am flying 737 as a FO :)
1:29 I see Polish Airlines and the Polish tanker with fuel company PKN Orlen :) How do you like in Poland? :)
Subscribed! and featured on my channel.
Thank you.
where have your brilliant videos I used watch everyday gone??????????!!!!!!!!
and please reply if your going to put them up again because we all enjoyed them so much
relay awesome RYR flights. ;)
Ahahahah le commentaire, moi aussi, la musique est magique !
This is a beautiful video, thanks for taking the time to produce it!
To all of those teenagers lubricating with this video and wanting to become a pilot now, please bear in mind that real life is NOT a constant change of shots with a beautiful and inspiring music in the background.
Becoming a pilot is difficult, working conditions are harder every day, salaries are getting lower and lower.... and the future ain't promising either
Be smart and go to college! Then do a PPL and fly for pleasure
GC232, favorite one... thx for the way you show this great world of aviation....
Thanks for the video is was great. Why do you have you have the music? The sounds of the aircraft are good.
It's greatest video& music!! From JAPAN.
One quick question.why do you enter a fix to the fix page (seen on ils app)?
Amazing footage i've seen on your quite a few of your videos. Question for you when you got time, do you prefer flying when sun is rising or sun is setting? Thanks for the awesome videos.
Congratulations for the video
Maravilloso excepcional. Y me gusta mucho la música que han puesto
We love your videos man !!!!!!
02:24 Liverpool ? :) but Amazing video :)
become full fledge airline pilot is so relax most of the time if you are the commander. but training to become 1 is the hell in the simulator as well as the line training flight
The best plane in the world by a country mile! Great video my friend!!
AWESOME I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS!!! THERE ARE MANY A320 HD COCKPIT VIDEOS, I WANTED TO SEE BOEING 737 HD VIDEOS TOO!!! THANKS FOR SHARING
Breath and Life ------- better effect with the TAKEOFF scene.
Great Video mate
Akinek a Fia pilóta annak nagyon megható a film és a gyönyörű zene, csodálatos összhang, nagyon élvezetes felvétel, csak gratulálni tudok !!!
Your videos are just amazing, where do you get those idea's from and the video's?
Hey I just wanted to know, from when you started to now as a commercial pilot how much money was that? and how did you get all of it
@golfcharlie232 I'd be happy with just the inflight sounds. You can censor out anything with the airline's name in it or something.
Gyönyörű film, az ember szárnyalását igazából bemutató.
És a zene hozzá, igazán felemelő, és megható..
Köszönöm.
I wanna fly the 737 one day. BEST PLANE EVER
What's the music at 2:20? Thanks!
Description :)
Don't you miss the sound of gyro vibrating during power up?
It is improving right now. More and more senior guys, like me, are retiring at increasing levels. I don't know what your timeline is, but if you can get aboard a commuter airline flying jets and get by for a few years, the future looks bright. I'm talking about huge numbers.
I have been with a major U.S. airline for 26 years, now a Captain of the 737. I have a little over three years to reach age 65. You can find the numbers on the internet. There will be thousands of retirements soon.
When I look at your videos they make me think of these words;''Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
and also about these "All men dream: but not equally... the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
I do like your videos,they remind me of the most wonderful time in my life.
I didn't knew you thought i was a pilot!
But FlightGear, it isn't great, the graphics suck,but what i love is you can learn very good how airplanes behave :).
I learned how to ILS, flare, etc from FlightGear.
I want to be a 737 Classic pilot man, very much!!
I figured if i stay at school i'll later be making about 2500 EURO's per month, and if i can save 1000 EUR every month, i'll need 100 months to be a regional pilot, which is about 1800 dollars per month :( , and then later a 737 pilot xD.
lawl, nice trolling... I just googled "FlightGear" and it looks really awesome! I just got into 'Vatsim' (A F S X community). I will download FlightGear tomorrow. I might get "FS COMMANDER" were you can make custom flight plans. Do you want to do anything in aviation in life or will you stay a enthusiast for life?
Regional pilots are on a shortage because they get payed near to nothing! :/
