Let’s power up the Boeing 747-8
Hello friends out there! How do you do?
We were fortunate the other day to pitch up at the aircraft and maintenance personnel were just about to power up our aircraft, a Boeing 747-8. As I had a trainee with me, I thought I’d take the opportunity to let him go through the procedure if establishing power on the aircraft which would involve starting the APU as there was no external power. Ordinarily, 99% of the time we get to the aircraft from flight dispatch and it is already powered up and ready for us - so this was a rare instance but valuable for training as it were😀
Hope you like it! Chi Di Gin! Later!✈️✈️✈️✈️

Aircraft ‘Plug type’ doors- B747 demonstration
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 14 dny
Hello again everyone and how do you do today. You may have heard the term ‘Plug type’ door in aviation or aircraft parlance. The design of aircraft passenger doors for pressurised aircraft are called ‘plug type’ because they have to come inwards and create a plug seal. The size is wider than the opening so it has to come inwards first and then plug the entrance/exit. At high altitude, it would ...
Boeing 747 Flight Management system (FMS) Tip
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 14 dny
Hello everyone and how do you do? Took 2 minutes in the B747-400 sim to show you this quick tip for FMS manipulation. Some airway segments or routes, require that a specific Mach number is maintained. This is done to maintain separation distances between aircraft. On the B747, the speed can be inserted manually on the VNAV page or indeed, speed intervention used to maintain the required Mach nu...
@ Sam Chui lands the Boeing 747-8

Hello everyone and how do you do? A couple of weeks ago, my friend Sam paid a visit to the Cathay Pacific flight training centre. He had the opportunity to have a go at Landing the Boeing 748-8 flight simulator device with me. This was how it went on that fun afternoon. He performed pretty well for a first timer on the B747. Take a watch and again- hope you like it. Chi Di Gin! Later✈️✈️✈️✈️
Aviation and Colour Deficiency: A Doctor answers

Hello everyone and how do you do? A number of you have been asking me about colour deficiency and whether it would be a barrier to becoming a pilot. I asked an AME the question and this was his explanation. I hope it helps answer the very important question that is a big concern for some aspiring pilots/Air traffic controllers and other professions too. I wish you the best in your quest to be a...
Cathay Boeing 747-8 teams: Shanghai to Hong Kong

We arrived at the aircraft about half an hour early before o...
Boeing 747-8 ‘Superjet’ pilot actions for Fire
zhlédnutí 6KPřed měsícem
Hello everyone and how do you do? I hope you are all doing well. This quick clip shows the actions we take in the flight deck to tackle an engine fire on takeoff. The Fire in this instance occurs after the V1 speed where we must get airborne as trying to stop would not provide us with sufficient runway and we would overrun. The initial shutdown actions and discharge of the engine Fire extinguis...
Weather avoidance/Turbulence avoidance in flight
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 2 měsíci
Hello everyone and how do you do? Recently, there has been a lot of talk on turbulent flights due to some incidents. Turbulence has always existed and in most cases was worse in earlier times of aviation with the absence of todays modern weather radar and forecasting advancements. This video talks about the pilot tools and strategies to avoid turbulence and of course to prepare for it. The most...
Boeing 747-8 takeoff: 90 seconds to safety altitude
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 3 měsíci
Hello everyone and how do you do? This short clip shows you what is going on during the takeoff from lining up on the runway to the initial safety altitude of 400 feet. From setting the thrust for takeoff to 400 feet takes about 90 seconds but it is a critical period where there is maximum concentration required from the pilots. We will be watching, listening, maintaining directional control, m...
Boeing 747-8 flight preparation/Briefing/Data entry for Takeoff and initial climb

Hello everyone and how do you do? In todays clip, I walk you through a typical preflight preparation as far as the pre-departure briefing, data entry and speed insertion into the FMS so we can safely liftoff and climb away. In a previous video, I showed you how we calculate the speeds based on airport conditions, aircraft weight etc.(watch the video to recap). So I have omitted that step but pr...
Boeing 747: Aircraft documents to be carried

Hello everyone and how do you do? In this clip, I explain a little about legal documents that we must carry on board to present to aviation authorities in any country if they are demanded. Just as you have in your vehicle, you must have the car insured, you must hold a license when you drive, the vehicle should be authorised to be on the road as in must have a number plate/index plate of regist...
Boeing 747-8 -a chat about cabin altitude/Depressurisation
zhlédnutí 4,7KPřed 3 měsíci
Hello and how do you do everyone? In this clip, I talk about depressurisation and why we need to put on our oxygen masks if there is a loss of cabin pressure. You listen to the airline safety video every time you fly and have heard it many times. The higher you climb, the air has less oxygen as it is thinner than at sea level. Aircraft structures are built to be pressurised so that they present...
FLYING: Can you be too old to train as an airline pilot?
zhlédnutí 69KPřed 4 měsíci
Hello everyone and how do you do? Some two years ago, I spoke about this issue of age and whether an older person could take up a career as an airline pilot. The question is still being asked by a number of you, my friends out there- perhaps because you didn’t get to see my original post three years ago. Whatever the reason, this is a reissue of a post on the same topic I’ve just completed this...

Good to see Wayne

What plane
*_PULL UP PULL UP_*
Usually those that wanna be pilots from young don’t become cabin crew at the start. Those that become pilots from cabin crew did not had the inspiration at the start.
Captain, due to mechanical or other issues, what is the indication and procedures if one or more of the engine reversers failed to operate once selected?
Tcas test fail.

I'm form usa can I become a second officer and join cathay pacific??????

@pilot_obet7815 OK last question what is the max age for becoming second officer in cathay pacific ???
Caution terrain terrain pull up pull up
Smart guy
👍👍👍👍🤙 great videos, captain
Fascinating stuff! It's nice to see most of the instruments in the flight deck are still analogue.
Just saw the new Sam chui video
WOW excellent and outstanding training Captain. Have always safe and blessed travels
This must be the best job in the world!!
Thank you Captain, you don't know what a good example you set for many of us
Merci pour ces explications très pédagogiques . Je fais de la simulation et enfin je trouve une explication au pourquoi de l'activation de certains boutons.
when you start the APU, which I understand is a mini jet engine, an you get a hot start? I notice you were not monitoring any instruments when you started the APU...
You can go to the status page and watch the apu spool up. But nothing to monitor
Your huge fan from shanghai were siiting in the office at front of PVG FEDEX warehouse.
@@samwong7516 Hi Sam.
Awesome.
great video captain.. very nicely explained
I'll watch again and again till i know this by heart!!!!
I saw this on the Captain’s IG. Super informative!
Outstanding as always Capt Obet - sure appreciate the time and professionalism. Great checklist explanation - you stated certain items are where they are and why. Are those items verified to be in the correct position prior to engaging the battery (gear handle, flap, hyd pumps, etc)? For example, if the flap handle been inadvertently moved to 20 and Sys 4 Hyd left in Aux, would the flaps transition once batt switch was engaged or is that not possible until the APU is selected on? Verifying positions with the checklist after the battery was turned on left me curious. Thank you again for such amazing videos!!!
Nice one 👍
That was awesome. That information is so secretive! Especially with a 747-400 and -8 no less. Now just have to learn how to power up the engines! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thanks Captain , I enjoyed the video. Educational. Thanks
Landing gear down, that’s why u guys are sitting on the ground
Hey didn't you appear in @Sam Chui's video 1 week ago? Great to see you, nice video.
@@AviationxMonkey yes I did
Ahoy from Nova Scotia! Thanks for sharing.
@@billvickers1367 ahoy!
cool guys🙂👍👍👍👍
cringe
Why is it getting noisy once the airplane is “alive”? Is it the AC starting to operate? I always thought it was the APU that made the most noise up until the engines are turned on. And great video of course!
@@finn-lub the Air conditioning packs came on and airflow started.The camera is a bit sensitive and the sound is a it louder than actual.
I always thought, would it not make more sense to turn and climb at the same time, to change direction and try to turn around completely? You would gain more altitude, over a shorter distance to the terrain???
You lose some performance in a turn.
A King and his Queen of the Skyes. Thank you Captain Obet, for teaching us so well. 🖖

I just literally fell onto this video. Wow what superb training and teaching you're passing on. I've subscribed Captain! Best from me Down Under in Middle Earth! Later!

Good. Now, where do I find one to power up? Back to aerowinx 747 sim I guess... 😞
