2 things: 1. Unless she knew how to set the emergency frequency to 121.500, set the mic volume on the correct radio box, and select R/T on the mic selector panel how could she contact emergency help? 2. She should have been warned NOT to touch the flight controller in front of her at any time because it disengages auto control.
Exactly, I said the same thing, first things first establish contact with tower, these simulators do they not have one attached that would respond accordingly? I realize the trainer is taking their place but its not real life. And she was not told that what not to do, if in autopilot, also the pedals which can disengage AP.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.I think every person in the back of their head has thought of getting to land a jetliner and saving all the passengers. What a rush!
This is the thing many people do not understand. The autopilot helps us pilots to reduce the workload. Cockpit/Workload management is an aspect overlooked by so many. Even though the autopilot controls the aircraft, it will always need a pilot to guide it along the way. The machine gives guidance, but the pilot gives wisdom. I become overstressed with things even before I leave the ground... such as dropping or losing my pen... or having my harness stuck under my seat during the checklist.
First, didn't have time to go through all comments, so this might have been mentioned before... but the "controller" (while otherwise doing a great job) failed on his own; "I don't see what is happening"... he guided the amateur to the correct equipment, but failed to determine if what she found was indeed the correct one. When she was looking at the wrong piece, only at that point did he offer more help. I also would have expected him to find out what the current setting is before instructing her to change it... you know, just in case that she was not in fact looking/handling the right switch and/or the settings were not what the controller was already expecting them to be (since he saw all the indicators himself). Other than that... ;)
"A good landing is a landing that you can walk away from and a great one, is in addition, you can use the plane again" so, she actually did a very good landing :)
If we're talking about something like a small Cessna, personally, I think I would prefer the opposite. Much less complicated, so there are fewer things to screw up; fairly easy to fly by hand, compared to an airliner; takes less runway to stop; among other things. At least that's my impression as a non-pilot.
@@fllthdcrb If there is no wind, yes. Airliners can deal much better with crosswinds where a Cessna would have trouble staying in the glideslope. The main issue I see for non-pilots is how far you are actually off the ground in an airliner cockpit so you might flare or just start pulling back at the wrong time. No such issues in a single-engine airplane.
Enjoyed that very informative. I had an hour in a 737 simulator last week. The captain looked after the bells and whistles, flew Malaga to Gibraltar We managed 3 circuits around the island ! all landed safely. I think if one was serious, one would need some time on the cockpit lay out and the function before flying. This was the most confusing bit.
Damn that second landing probably killed the landing gear. But she did great the first time around. You can't expect her to be able to land it manually the first time after previously landing using autopilot. Great job girl! :)
Definitely not her first time doing that. Just notice the way she switched the auto pilot lever at 13:50. Anyone who was not familiar with how hard that switch is to throw, would have used their fingers first and then, when they realized how hard it was, change there hand to get more leverage on it as she did. So she clearly was familiar with how hard that handle was the throw. Definitely not her first time doing it.
She is so calm and collected. If I was going down on a big Boeing Max without the pilot, I would be sweating. Is there a way you can simulate panic and we see how she does, plus alarms and all
Nice video! And a nice simulator. I work myself as an simulator instructor at Vasteras Aviation Museum in Sweden. We have 3 simulators open to the public: Convair CV440 Metropolitan, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and SAAB J 35 Draken. An Airbus A320 is under construction and will hopefully be ready in 2013.
In the manual landing she crashed to the ground :) ... Nose was way too down, prolly almost 5-8 degreess.... gears wouldave broken for sure :) ... but she behaved very well on the auto landing :)
This was a walk in the park or Sunday drive. Pilots skill, knowledge and expertise is truly tested in challenging or emergency situations. I saw a novice young first time solo pilot land a small plane without 1 landing gear. That was respect.
fsx ils is super simple anyway, set nav radio to whatever frequency it says on the map, line up with last waypoint and then line up with the localizer. set to approach when on the glideslope and it does the rest for you
Great idea for a video. I noticed that Natalia knew to decrease power by manually pulling back on the thrust levers at just the right moment during the flare and landing. Why wasn't this instructed by the air traffic controller?
The auto pilot moved the thrust controls. The instructor didn't remind here to deploy the reverse thrust however, which he would have done if it had been for real. For more realism, it would help if the instructor didn't watch what was going on in the cockpit.
I wish I could get one of those simulators. I use Microsoft Flight Simulator and using a mouse to click on the knobs and buttons isn't the same as in a simulator or real aircraft.
You are still using the controls for the same purpose,just not touching them with your hands,but you don't have that overall feel of the aircraft. Just my thinking!!!
@@kd5you1 Maybe get a VR set like oculus Rift. It will change things completely, and you will experience being in the cockpit instead of a detached experience via a picture in a screen.
@@zombieman9509 I'm wondering if the new Flight Simulator will support a VR device. FSX had a virual cockpit that you could look around in freely by using the mouse. The drawback is that its not really possible to look around while controlling the aircraft yoke/joystick... I would need two right hands.
@@kd5you1 Not sure about the upcoming Microsoft one, but there are already several flight sims available that work perfectly in VR. X-plane11, Aerofly2 for civilian and DCS for modern fighters and IL2 for ww2 combat.
I think this video clip was wonderful. The controller may have assumed some data as he was watching and not in the tower.That being said, I think it was a wonderful simulation and very well done.
Hahahaha oh yes its a big handle. They both know whats up lol. And when that alarm went off I would of ran through the plane screaming "we're all gunna die"
She dint flare at all and did not use reversers, and was not on the centerline when landing manually those are the only mistakes i found for the rest she did well.
I was lucky enough to get into the 747 Sim @ Miami years ago. Two takeoff and landing routines. All went well. I was 20. What a thrill. Later was able to shoot carrier approaches in a real sim for the Navy. A born natural I tell ya ! They wanted me to sign up on the spot......
Are we going to just completely ignore how she would know how to put on the headset, go to the right frequency, push the button to talk (and release it to hear) in order to take instructions from the ground ??? 😂😅

@@MrVeryfrost Finding a headset may not be an issue but finding the right emergency channel and may day ing correctly could be a difficult task. An amateur would not know the emergency channel and the button to set the frequency
WoW!!! That was something else, my heart was thumping like crazy. Totally enjoyed that, even though my memory was playing some games, I think I could do that. Awesome video!!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life so far. This can save thousands of lives if people are taught how to do this. (of course after a 20 year background check)....lol
On a flight sim I was playing recently, you can select ‘land at nearest airport’ and the autopilot handles everything; no more input required. Much easier! The lack of contact with ATC would be problematic in the real world of course. Although a really good autopilot could maybe handle that too. Alternatively… “Hey Siri… I’m in the cockpit of a 747 at 30,000 feet. How do I land it?” “Here’s what I found online…”
What happened to the flight crew? I can't image the circumstances that would have to happen to make something like this happen. Did the ENTIRE flight crew have the fish? Why not just activate the Otto Pilot? All that aside, I would love to go flying in the simulator with Natalja anytime!
Several years ago I was in a program to see if an average pilot who might be aboard could handle an emergency from loss of the flight crew and land it successfully. I might mention I'm a Commercial pilot with about 6000 hours but the biggest thing I ever flew was a Piper Aztec. I could ask questions and get answers but the est was all on me. I got it down with no damage but fewer than half of the people failed.
+silbaar I have been flying since I was 16 and have flown all sorts of airplanes so I treated this one just like I would any other strange or complex. The main thing I wanted to give myself all the time possible to handle each part of the landing. As I try to teach all my students, never put yourself in a situation where time catches up with them, get in a hurry and you make mistakes. At least I had a controller who could feed me the numbers and I didn't have to look them up or fly from the seat of my pants.
Jim Foreman like i tell my kids... “haste makes waste”! ... pilots need to think ahead... WAY ahead, most people don’t think that far ahead....Some pilots don’t do well in auto racing, because it’s the opposite....most of that is here and NOW and looking ahead too much =a bad day, or worse.
I would be setting the radio panel to the emergency frequency and then Mayday Mayday Mayday and take instructions from the tower on how to configure the plane for an automatic landing
She missed it by....that much! I always wonder why the controls have such a 'well used' look to them.... That must be a pretty old simulator and used for hours and hours daily....
by the way, as i know, reverse thrust should be disengaged under 60 to 80 kts to prevent compressor stalling, unless emergency situations like an interrupted takeoff. so why is she leaving the reverse thrust all the way until 0 kts? it may cause serious damage to the engines.
The point of the video is Pilot's are not in control, a civilian is. At this point the plane is classified as a right off. If the civilian manages to land the plane, good, otherwise the crash is to be expected. A civilian landing a plane but damaging the engines would still be classified as a "good landing". IMHO
peter, as i remember, she have set up the autobrakes, so no matter how much reverse u use, the rate of slowing down is still the same. the difference is using more brakes or more reverse.
Chan Henry Autobrakes is just the autopilot engaging the brakes on touch down. Reverse thrust + brakes = slows the plane down faster. with a Boeing 737 full of people I don't think anyone is worried about the engines.
Verdigo NO! One of the main advantages of engaging the autobrake as opposed to manually pressing on brake pedals is the uniform deceleration mechanism of the autobrake. The aircraft automatically decelerates at the selected level regardless of other factors, such as aircraft drag and other deceleration methods such as deployment of thrust reversers or spoilers. dont believe in me? check this out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobrake so, safe people with braken engines and safe people with perfectly working engines, you choose.
Yeah! Russian air force. They start flying in their Mom's belly. That's why you will never see a pregnant Russian woman. THey are interned in rooms full of simulators and get out only to give birth.
Two questions: 1) What are those wheels on either side of the thrust levers which occasionally spin around? and 2) Doesn't anyone land using the yoke and stuff anymore, like manually? I once was a passenger on a Embraer business jet (I believe an EJ-19...? It was a long time ago). Anyway, it was a pretty rough approach, rolling and yawing, the kind of landing I like. It was fun. Anyway, I had heard the rough landings are usually the ones where the pilots are exercising the computer, and not landing manually. So I stopped by the flight deck as I was getting off the plane and asked the pilots if that was the computer which landed the plane. They said no, and that the rough landing was due to a 27 kt crosswind. OK... But all these videos I see have the pilot or the student doing IFR approaches, using the computer to land the plane. I would think that if I were a pilot I would want to land the plane myself.
1) The spinny wheels are the vertical Trim - The exact same that went haywire in the recent Boeing crashes because the MCAS got fooled. In hand flying you trim the aircraft so you neither need to pull or push on the yoke and the airplane keeps flying at current power setting, speed and attitude. The autopilot does it here automatically for the same reason - no excess force necessary on the yoke to maintain flight. Anytime she changes something (select a descent, slow down, …) the auto trim fires up and the spinny wheels spin :) 2) Depending on certification of aircraft and crew, autopilots in big jets are capable of landing the aircraft under "normal" circumstances (ILS CAT III). Too much cross wind and the pilot should hand fly the landing. In smaller aircraft the auto pilot can fly the approach (fairly independently, smaller planes don't typically have auto throttles, and even here in the big one, she had to set flaps, gear and desired speed herself) - but that approach ends at 200 ft above ground the very latest - you don't have a choice, you need to land manually after that. The fully automated landing (ILS CAT III auto landing mentioned above) is necessary when the visibility at the airport you are landing at is so bad, that only the computer can be trusted with it. We are talking fog all the way down to the runway and runway visibility length down to less than 1000 ft. In that case 1 autopilot is flying the plane, the other one is monitoring the first one to see if it would have done the exact same thing as the first one. If the second auto pilot sees anything different, both autopilot go off, the alarm goes off and the pilot must grab the controls and initiate a "go around". Pretty stressful - you sit there, don't see shit and wait for the (very rare) occurrence that the alarm goes off and you get the airplane back.
@@johannesweis4003 Huh! Sounds like FUN! But getting back to the spinny wheels... Could the airplane not auto trim without wheels being there? Are they there for the pilot to turn them for fine adjusting the trim or something....?
Guy: I would like you to reduce the speed little bit more! Do you remember where the speed is? Girl: Yes! .... Girl: Is it right to the altitude Yes? Guy: Ehmm, No! it's left to the heading! :-D
when landing he instructed her to put her hand on the thrust handles and click the thumb left button 2 times but I noticed he did not tell her to pull back the handle first which she did do when she touched down she pulled the handle backwards then clicked 2 times the thumb left button and then pulled the black handles in front of the thruster handles upward. just was wondering if I had missed these instructions?
I see... Interesting, I've also asked myself this. Is the autopilot also holding the heading after touchdown, I mean to not go off the runway? I notice she does not have the hands on the yoke after touchdown.
Very cool! Not a trained pilot myself but that manual landing can be done better with a little practice. Get yourself a good flight simulator program and practice lining up on the center line. The other aspect of the manual approach that was missing was the flare which I believe is usually started around 50 ft off the runway. Pull back on the yoke to raise the nose a bit so that the main landing gear touch down first. A good point of reference is the end of the runway. You should be able to see it at the bottom of your windscreen. If you can't the nose is too high and you risk a tail strike. Cut the throttle to idle just above the runway so that the plane slows itself down just enough to lose lift and "drop" onto the runway.
Yeah. Who do you think invented the imperial system you seem to bash anyway? The UK, basically. Also, fractions are way easier with it. I like metric and imperial myself..
All in all a fun video to watch. There was a good amount one could get from watching this, the first being that many of these modern jet airliners can autoland with human supervision, but most pilots will hand fly the last few hundred feet so there still needs to be a skill there. I would have changed one thing for that would have given Natalia as little more pressure, have the instructor not in the cockpit, but on the radio so she has to deal with PtT while thinking about changes. He also didn't deal with frequency changes which would also add to the pressure and be more realistic for most of that time spent setting up would be approach with a hand off to tower as they establish. I enjoyed it and after 7 years, I would hope this maybe inspired the young lady to become a pilot.
Where can I buy one of those plane simulators ...tired of playing video games...wanna try VR games for a change...and this game looks really cool ..even my gf can be part too.
"Below that there is a knob, I would like you to spit on it, put your hands around the knob, and move your hands up and down quickly till I say " ahhhhhhh baby yesssss"
it just Workshop oft in the Center Autopilot is armed and correctly Set. i think also the weather conditions should be good for a sidewind landing the skills of an expiered Pilot would be missing. right?
+siraj sagga that's how a pilot would communicate in order to calm the passanger down and reduce the panic. Imagine if the pilot shouted through a radio, prolly a passenger would start smashing all the random buttons with his shaking hands... :D
donald parker Arresting the sink rate would require additional throttle application. At that altitude would've floated her way past the touch down point. In any case that should be a go around scenario.
He mentioned it a few minutes before. You basically use the thrust reversers to help the plane stop. When activated, the brakes don’t have as much pressure on them as otherwise. You use it just when you have touched down.
What's the procedure for her to power back up and do a go around ! I know it's kinda the opposite and I know some things but I would like you to tell me !! ............BOOOOYAAA I loved this ... This is great.... This girl cold fly and I'm not sure she knows it !!!!!!
Wow, no wonder the pilots of the 737 max panicked. All those steps to take & then all the sudden the APP goes nuts. I am glad now that I never became a airline pilot.
You really have no clue what the fuk your saying? and did you mean autopilot by saying APP? you know the autopilot had nothing to do with the crash right? If the pilots died while your on the flight youd be so lucky to have an autopilot and even with that god knows youd be too stupid and fuk it up regardless. It would take you minutes to find just one thign to change and when you did you woudnt understand one thing thats going on. Youd probably look at the speed and think "omg look im going 210 MILES per hour" not knots. and even if you understood knots I doubt you understand the difference between IAS and your GS
I always wanted to learn how to fly that was one of my biggest accomplishment but I just didn't get a chance I love this wonderful video I keep watching it all the time thank you so much Happy New Year
I have done this in a B737-800 simulator except it was a manual landing and not an autoland. Just to qualify that, I was a 1500 hour private pilot and I spent my working life as an aircraft electronics technician so I was very familiar with the cockpit layout and functions. It was a thrill to fly the simulator but I did have an instructor sitting next to me. It would be nice if I never have to face this situation in real life as there is always an element of risk involved.

@@melvinpjotr9883 It is hard enough for someone to figure out a ships radio
@@MrVeryfrost Finding a headset may not be an issue but finding the right emergency channel and may day ing correctly could be a difficult task. An amateur would not know the emergency channel and the button to set the frequency
WoW!!! That was something else, my heart was thumping like crazy. Totally enjoyed that, even though my memory was playing some games, I think I could do that. Awesome video!!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life so far. This can save thousands of lives if people are taught how to do this.
(of course after a 20 year background check)....lol
Itsame Mario nice :)
so technically they are gamers....Lmao
Itsame Mario thats pretty cool :)
+jus4funtim ATC should be able to unlock the doors remotely.. they've had that for homes for years now
natalia: successfully lands a 737 despite having no prior experience
also natalia: i t s d o n e
On a flight sim I was playing recently, you can select ‘land at nearest airport’ and the autopilot handles everything; no more input required. Much easier! The lack of contact with ATC would be problematic in the real world of course. Although a really good autopilot could maybe handle that too.
Alternatively…
“Hey Siri… I’m in the cockpit of a 747 at 30,000 feet. How do I land it?”
“Here’s what I found online…”
AP can do most things until you touch the ground. Then you have to keep the plane straight and bring it to a stop.
What happened to the flight crew? I can't image the circumstances that would have to happen to make something like this happen.
Did the ENTIRE flight crew have the fish? Why not just activate the Otto Pilot?
All that aside, I would love to go flying in the simulator with Natalja anytime!
What's an otto pilot? This is not real.
Google "Otto Pilot".
They did use the autopilot!!!!!!
***** To the movie Airplane!.
All the crew are bad seafood and were sick. The passengers could not help, all old women. But this girl saved the day. Hero
@ Kenneth Catrond I think you'll find its the autothrottle that's controlling the throttles in the flare and she is just following through.
Several years ago I was in a program to see if an average pilot who might be aboard could handle an emergency from loss of the flight crew and land it successfully. I might mention I'm a Commercial pilot with about 6000 hours but the biggest thing I ever flew was a Piper Aztec. I could ask questions and get answers but the est was all on me. I got it down with no damage but fewer than half of the people failed.

you must be a talented pilot sir! and iced blood too
+silbaar I have been flying since I was 16 and have flown all sorts of airplanes so I treated this one just like I would any other strange or complex. The main thing I wanted to give myself all the time possible to handle each part of the landing. As I try to teach all my students, never put yourself in a situation where time catches up with them, get in a hurry and you make mistakes. At least I had a controller who could feed me the numbers and I didn't have to look them up or fly from the seat of my pants.
Jim Foreman like i tell my kids... “haste makes waste”! ... pilots need to think ahead... WAY ahead, most people don’t think that far ahead....Some pilots don’t do well in auto racing, because it’s the opposite....most of that is here and NOW and looking ahead too much =a bad day, or worse.
I would be setting the radio panel to the emergency frequency and then Mayday Mayday Mayday and take instructions from the tower on how to configure the plane for an automatic landing
"It's done." - "OK, thank you very much"
She missed it by....that much!
I always wonder why the controls have such a 'well used' look to them....
That must be a pretty old simulator and used for hours and hours daily....
If the knob is worn down you should probably use it. Multiple times if you're about to crash.
Natalja did well. And Pranas was very calm and informative. And we're all safe =)
by the way, as i know, reverse thrust should be disengaged under 60 to 80 kts to prevent compressor stalling, unless emergency situations like an interrupted takeoff. so why is she leaving the reverse thrust all the way until 0 kts? it may cause serious damage to the engines.
The point of the video is Pilot's are not in control, a civilian is. At this point the plane is classified as a right off. If the civilian manages to land the plane, good, otherwise the crash is to be expected. A civilian landing a plane but damaging the engines would still be classified as a "good landing". IMHO
Ok then Top Gun
peter, as i remember, she have set up the autobrakes, so no matter how much reverse u use, the rate of slowing down is still the same. the difference is using more brakes or more reverse.
Chan Henry Autobrakes is just the autopilot engaging the brakes on touch down. Reverse thrust + brakes = slows the plane down faster. with a Boeing 737 full of people I don't think anyone is worried about the engines.
Verdigo NO! One of the main advantages of engaging the autobrake as opposed to manually pressing on brake pedals is the uniform deceleration mechanism of the autobrake. The aircraft automatically decelerates at the selected level regardless of other factors, such as aircraft drag and other deceleration methods such as deployment of thrust reversers or spoilers.
dont believe in me? check this out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobrake
so, safe people with braken engines and safe people with perfectly working engines, you choose.
Natalia, I would like you now to reduce your speed. Yeah!
that instructor looks about 15 wtf lol
He's 22 and he's not an instructor he just did his ATPL like a year ago.
Yeah! Russian air force. They start flying in their Mom's belly. That's why you will never see a pregnant Russian woman. THey are interned in rooms full of simulators and get out only to give birth.

@@fatihinankeles590 Lithuanians actually but I believe that for others it is the same - latvians, lithuanians, russians. 😔
17:05 FI facepalm lol
I think she broke the simulator with that landing.
Two questions:
1) What are those wheels on either side of the thrust levers which occasionally spin around?
and
2) Doesn't anyone land using the yoke and stuff anymore, like manually?
I once was a passenger on a Embraer business jet (I believe an EJ-19...? It was a long time ago). Anyway, it was a pretty rough approach, rolling and yawing, the kind of landing I like. It was fun. Anyway, I had heard the rough landings are usually the ones where the pilots are exercising the computer, and not landing manually. So I stopped by the flight deck as I was getting off the plane and asked the pilots if that was the computer which landed the plane. They said no, and that the rough landing was due to a 27 kt crosswind. OK... But all these videos I see have the pilot or the student doing IFR approaches, using the computer to land the plane. I would think that if I were a pilot I would want to land the plane myself.
1) The spinny wheels are the vertical Trim - The exact same that went haywire in the recent Boeing crashes because the MCAS got fooled. In hand flying you trim the aircraft so you neither need to pull or push on the yoke and the airplane keeps flying at current power setting, speed and attitude. The autopilot does it here automatically for the same reason - no excess force necessary on the yoke to maintain flight. Anytime she changes something (select a descent, slow down, …) the auto trim fires up and the spinny wheels spin :)
2) Depending on certification of aircraft and crew, autopilots in big jets are capable of landing the aircraft under "normal" circumstances (ILS CAT III). Too much cross wind and the pilot should hand fly the landing. In smaller aircraft the auto pilot can fly the approach (fairly independently, smaller planes don't typically have auto throttles, and even here in the big one, she had to set flaps, gear and desired speed herself) - but that approach ends at 200 ft above ground the very latest - you don't have a choice, you need to land manually after that. The fully automated landing (ILS CAT III auto landing mentioned above) is necessary when the visibility at the airport you are landing at is so bad, that only the computer can be trusted with it. We are talking fog all the way down to the runway and runway visibility length down to less than 1000 ft. In that case 1 autopilot is flying the plane, the other one is monitoring the first one to see if it would have done the exact same thing as the first one. If the second auto pilot sees anything different, both autopilot go off, the alarm goes off and the pilot must grab the controls and initiate a "go around". Pretty stressful - you sit there, don't see shit and wait for the (very rare) occurrence that the alarm goes off and you get the airplane back.
@@johannesweis4003 Huh! Sounds like FUN! But getting back to the spinny wheels... Could the airplane not auto trim without wheels being there? Are they there for the pilot to turn them for fine adjusting the trim or something....?
Guy: I would like you to reduce the speed little bit more! Do you remember where the speed is?
Girl: Yes!
....
Girl: Is it right to the altitude Yes?
Guy: Ehmm, No! it's left to the heading!
:-D
With manual, she didnt flare. Irl it would have crashed.
I saw the nose coming up as she got close to touchdown. Autoland?
"I- Is it a big handle?"
"Oh, yes it is ..."
Natalja killed us all! But we forgive cause she's hot! LOL
3w
They communicate well, words succinct. and focused. Her answers were clear and precise. "It is done."
Autopilot did the thrust levers, she just had her hand on it and Pranas did tell her to engage the thrust reverses and to arm the speed brake.
Yes,very observant
7:53 is a classic, hahahaha, best!
Dann Dane "Ohoho yes it is"
The Airplane comes to runway with -10° the airplane is crasched!!
not real
i know
Are you telling me a 737 can in semi auto pilot mode landed be? I mean exactly that way???
Hahahahahahahha :D xD i know what you thinking
when landing he instructed her to put her hand on the thrust handles and click the thumb left button 2 times but I noticed he did not tell her to pull back the handle first which she did do when she touched down she pulled the handle backwards then clicked 2 times the thumb left button and then pulled the black handles in front of the thruster handles upward. just was wondering if I had missed these instructions?
The auto pilot did it. Not her
I see... Interesting, I've also asked myself this. Is the autopilot also holding the heading after touchdown, I mean to not go off the runway? I notice she does not have the hands on the yoke after touchdown.
Very cool! Not a trained pilot myself but that manual landing can be done better with a little practice. Get yourself a good flight simulator program and practice lining up on the center line. The other aspect of the manual approach that was missing was the flare which I believe is usually started around 50 ft off the runway. Pull back on the yoke to raise the nose a bit so that the main landing gear touch down first. A good point of reference is the end of the runway. You should be able to see it at the bottom of your windscreen. If you can't the nose is too high and you risk a tail strike. Cut the throttle to idle just above the runway so that the plane slows itself down just enough to lose lift and "drop" onto the runway.
Airlines still use feet as a measurement of altitude?!
English is the international language so they've kept ft.
+Amaan HpLaptop in most places they use feet. Some use meters. But only certain airlines
amp mph/kph
What does language have to do with measurement system?
Yeah. Who do you think invented the imperial system you seem to bash anyway? The UK, basically. Also, fractions are way easier with it. I like metric and imperial myself..
7:50
Natalia - "Is it a big handle?"
Pranas - "Oh yes it is."
LOL!!!
First, put it in "drive", then set the cruise control.
All in all a fun video to watch. There was a good amount one could get from watching this, the first being that many of these modern jet airliners can autoland with human supervision, but most pilots will hand fly the last few hundred feet so there still needs to be a skill there. I would have changed one thing for that would have given Natalia as little more pressure, have the instructor not in the cockpit, but on the radio so she has to deal with PtT while thinking about changes. He also didn't deal with frequency changes which would also add to the pressure and be more realistic for most of that time spent setting up would be approach with a hand off to tower as they establish.
I enjoyed it and after 7 years, I would hope this maybe inspired the young lady to become a pilot.
Alarm sounds.
Natalja "something is wrong"
Pranas "I am so sorry. I will give your regards to your loved ones."
"We're back on the topic of amateurs trying to handle big uhhh..."
by the time we freaking find a particular button...our faces will be splashed on the ground dirt
Didn't the Mythbusters try this one out?
She did a great job! She understood directions very well.
Where can I buy one of those plane simulators ...tired of playing video games...wanna try VR games for a change...and this game looks really cool ..even my gf can be part too.
" Now Natalia , do you see that long handle just below my waistline , I need you to hurry up and put it in your mouth "
Do you see the identical knob to the right?
Where?
Oh my fucking god...
"Below that there is a knob, I would like you to spit on it, put your hands around the knob, and move your hands up and down quickly till I say " ahhhhhhh baby yesssss"
Lmao!!!
Grow up, it was a joke!!
Naughty but nice.
Ground elevation at Indy Exec in 922' above SL. So the minimum for sighting the runway was at 200' above ground.
it just Workshop oft in the Center Autopilot is armed and correctly Set. i think also the weather conditions should be good for a sidewind landing the skills of an expiered Pilot would be missing. right?
if he wasn't so nice the video will be 10.min shorter. He doesn't stop saying "can you, I would like you, Im in love with you" lol
+siraj sagga that's how a pilot would communicate in order to calm the passanger down and reduce the panic. Imagine if the pilot shouted through a radio, prolly a passenger would start smashing all the random buttons with his shaking hands... :D
lmao, you are absolutely right :)
Kinda surprised she got the "sink rate" warning so late. Would've been difficult to arrest the descent at that point.
its a older modell :P they fixed that these days :)
Not really. you must be out of touch
donald parker
Arresting the sink rate would require additional throttle application. At that altitude would've floated her way past the touch down point. In any case that should be a go around scenario.
I know, totally agree. I've flown 737s before and I noticed the same thing.
Natalya is probably Colonel in Russia Air force
and thanks to YOU for being a good Navigator of the controls , and good thing you both speak the same language , lol
Great vdo i am ual mechanic and small plane pilot. Loved how you were very nice and calm. I subscribed
Ya if that was irl it woud crashed but still an amazing job she did I felt she is nervous
natalia: let me try landing with the frontwheel first
she can turn my "knob" and pull my "big handle" anytime rofl
Now, you can play GTA 5 for more practice, you did it very well, congratulations. :)
14:59 she pulls thrusters back but instructor did not say to do this. When and why you have to pull thrusters back?
He mentioned it a few minutes before.
You basically use the thrust reversers to help the plane stop. When activated, the brakes don’t have as much pressure on them as otherwise.
You use it just when you have touched down.
What's the procedure for her to power back up and do a go around ! I know it's kinda the opposite and I know some things but I would like you to tell me !! ............BOOOOYAAA I loved this ... This is great.... This girl cold fly and I'm not sure she knows it !!!!!!
Ranardo Hopkins
Wow, no wonder the pilots of the 737 max panicked. All those steps to take & then all the sudden the APP goes nuts. I am glad now that I never became a airline pilot.
You really have no clue what the fuk your saying? and did you mean autopilot by saying APP? you know the autopilot had nothing to do with the crash right? If the pilots died while your on the flight youd be so lucky to have an autopilot and even with that god knows youd be too stupid and fuk it up regardless. It would take you minutes to find just one thign to change and when you did you woudnt understand one thing thats going on. Youd probably look at the speed and think "omg look im going 210 MILES per hour" not knots. and even if you understood knots I doubt you understand the difference between IAS and your GS
@@davidt8087 rude.
There is button that says " Wing It" just press that and enjoy your flight.
`Natalja, we need to stop climate change`.
*Presses button
"It`s done".
twobyfour omg My sides
I always wanted to learn how to fly that was one of my biggest accomplishment but I just didn't get a chance I love this wonderful video I keep watching it all the time thank you so much Happy New Year
I have done this in a B737-800 simulator except it was a manual landing and not an autoland. Just to qualify that, I was a 1500 hour private pilot and I spent my working life as an aircraft electronics technician so I was very familiar with the cockpit layout and functions. It was a thrill to fly the simulator but I did have an instructor sitting next to me. It would be nice if I never have to face this situation in real life as there is always an element of risk involved.
