- Flightdeck view from FlySax (East African Safari Air Express) DC-9-14 5Y-SAZ during takeoff from Mombasa Noi Airport (MBA). Operating flight 5H448 to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO) on 28th March 2018.
My first ever Flight was on a DC9. 1987 Dublin to Ibiza with a Spanish Airline called Aviaco. I was scared stiff because it looked like a Dart! Like in this video we were bussed out to it. What made it worse was it was a night flight and we were taking off into a black sky. Once we were up and cruising I calmed down and have been hooked on Air Travel ever since. The scariest part was the powering up of those rear engines. I was sitting in the back near to them. This video brought back that memory. An amazing sound. Good times.
That plane is old. Wow. I can’t believe it’s still in service. Not hearing any automation. Now that is awesome. They are truly flying the airplane.
This airline takes pride in their equipment. That's a 50 year old plane and the cockpit looks pristine and well updated.
@Rocky what do you expect with small low cost air carrier huh?brand new boeing 737max?Airbus A321neo?,
Looks Great!
arif khamar don’t listen to the arrogant Europeans, we do things differently in Africa
My first jet! Six very different jets later, I retired on the Airbus A320, hands down, my favorite.... and yes, I agree with redsalute3, the cockpit looks well maintained. As an airline pilot, I completely disagree with Rocky’s comments.
DaveZappa good on ya mate!
Cockpit looks in good condition but in terms of fuel consumption they cannot be too economically feasible. The crew's cockpit procedures were impressive. Very professional.
That plane, carrying max 80 pax burned 4,600 litres per hour, and it made some serious noise.
Professional... Just a small issue with sterile cockpit during taxi to rwy
I am impressed by their professionalism, good communication and friendliness. The skies need more pilots that work at this level.
Absolutely!
Please not! Sorry for breaking up the party but these 7 minutes are full of mistakes / pilot error. Can you tell me who's pilot flying? The CPT who's also answering radio calls while handflying and the FO searches for landing performance charts shortly after takeoff in low altitude with thunderstorm clouds around the aircraft? Later on (hard to see if the Autopilot was engaged already) he's also flicking switches on the overhead, not his area of responsibility. Also doing the takeoff performance while the CPT is taxing is simply wrong and can cause ground collision or even fatal takeoff accidents. There's no workload management, task delegation or compliance with procedures visible. Also he shouldn't have the Garmin aera GPS blocking his sight on the Autopilot Mode Annunciation Panel, only the FO is doing it correctly. The thrust lever angle split is more than the size of the handle, so it should have been brought to the attention of a mechanic earlier. Bush operation from the 70ies. I'm sorry to say, he might have been a good military pilot, but what he demonstrates in this short clip, it seems he's not the man for a multi pilot ops airliner cockpit, at least not in most parts of the world.
@@jordanfreshbaker6800 agree with you mostly except for the bush operation comment! Taxi checklist when half way approaching runway for take off....maybe they were behind schedule which shouldn't excuse such tardiness. CRM should be brought in.
The Captain is my uncle (Kavengo), been on his flights from Mombasa. Tough ex-military pilot
Moody Kimwele
Kenya Air Force? What is that like 4 crop dusters? 😂😂😂
@@chrisj197438 Dear one, laugh not. They have over 150 craft.
@@chrisj197438 you shouldn't insult them like that
@@chrisj197438 Chimp Johnson, better fly a mig 21 from the sixties than ride public transport and be a keyboard hero
For sure he is an excellent pilot. My respects to your uncle.
What a great combination of analog with modern electronic technology in a classic beauty like the DC-9. Last time I flew with a DC-9 was back in 1995 (Madrid to La Palma, LEMD-GCLA) with the extinct AVIACO. Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Greetings from Gran Canaria, (Confined)-Spain.
Thanks for sharing! Mombasa could easily be my next vacation🤘🏼
I can't believe this baby 9 is still around. A true workhorse. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
It is stored now, sadly.
Good CRM. Maj (Rtd) Kavingo a well seasoned pilot and instructor Pilot. He was my instructor on Fiexed wing as a civilian great person. For those who understad swahili the crew reminded me of the PANAM and KLM accident in Teriffe cross checking and confirming the clearance has been issued. I wish you all blue skies.
The KLM Captain was in a rush! It was all his fault. That being said always always question!
I dont agree with Good CRM
Autopilot off ,hands on yoke,and PM will do your requests,I didn’t see that on this movie at least on takeoff.
Captain hands was on yoke and then jumping to overhead panel and to flight guidance panel
Jambo rafiki. CAVU skies to all aviators. Kwa heri, sasa.
Just what i'been looking foor a nice HD Md83-Dc9 cockpit HD video! Not so much videos like this around!
And that nice looking cockpit makes this video sweet like lemonade..
bring back the old time days! real flying!
An old but pristine airliner cockpit video in HD, this is gold!
This takes me back 40 or 50 years to when I was not old. I loved all my time in the baby 9.
Analog cockpit and good condition. This is a cockpit that keeps pilots on their toes real hands on in these older planes. Thanks guys.
Regards from South Africa
Just perfect nice to see real aviators still in the air !
Really enjoyed watching the pilots working together.
Brilliant cockpit and brilliant communication between pilots
I have about 12000 hrs in the B-737, but always wanted to fly the DC-9..... it was my favorite aircraft since about 12 years old. Sadly I don't think that will happen now, so I do enjoy watching these videos
sstocker31 Mombasa is waiting for you ;-)
What is your company ;)
@@tarapunka8074 Maybe a virtual FSX- Cargo-Airline? Who knows...?
@@rudehr Nailed it. No real pilot says "B-737".
Do you race Super Stock?
Wonderful aircraft.. I am type rated on MD-80 and There is not many changes on Scan flow... lovely Engines..
A most excellent piece of filming . Love the DC-9 .
Professional crew. Always amazed how quiet it gets after the gear comes up.
That's the DC-9 for you. Of course with those JT8Ds on the back just about everyone else is gonna hate how loud it is. :P
The noise is at the back since the power plants are act of the wing..
@@dantramgb8953 : I didn't find the noise in the back of a DC-9 to be too objectionable, really. The aerodynamic noise overtakes the engine noise for the most part in cruise.
It always amazes me how easy the pilots make it look.
Very good job, professional
I would feel confident with those pilots.
Good luck from France
Really wonderfull flashback to the days i used to work with the dc-9
Great video. Gorgeous aircraft. Fortunate pilots to be flying it. Thanks.
Nice to see my home airport featured too. Thank you!
This vid is so great. . .i flew on several -15s and -32s as operated by Ozark Airlines (remember them?). Glad to see old but good and well-loved equipment being used again in other countries!
Chris, you are a happy man- feel a heavy AC in your hands. And, for me, DC-9 was most beau of all commerc. AC
It looks very well maintained and clean!
To me personally, the gauges makes a cockpit look beautiful...i honestly hate the glass cockpit..idk why but it looks less of a cockpit especially for an IFR maniac like me....nice pilots... With love from tanzania...safi sana hiyo..
That makes two of us. They were the real deal back then, now they are just computer monitors.
This video is JustPlanes quality. Outstanding!
Wow! My DC9-15 didn’t have that kit level and our Wx radar was a monochrome thing that was worse than useless. Glad they still have the mirrors on the centre combing, for those who haven’t had the pleasure of flying the 9 they are so that you can see the E2B compass which is buried in the roof behind the copilot, it’s reflection is seen in those mirrors via a light and another mirror so that it appears the right way round. Nice walk down memory lane.
Wonderful video! Love the DC-9.
Now THAT'S a cockpit. I love the gauges . The modern glass screens are boring. Lol. I know they are convient for the pilot....but as just a fan of airplanes, I prefer the old planes. Reminds me of what I would see as a kid peeking into the cockpit as I was boarding in the 80's.
Gauges makes a cockpit look realistic bro...i like it old school..
@@killianjohn4794 Everyone should and yes it does (alive too not to mention)... this airfoil is twice my age and I love oldschool classics! (looks in disgust at "new-age Boeing" and "the MAX programs")
What a treat it must be to fly that plane.
Good crew. Good communication.
Flown this often enough, cool to see it from the flight deck, good stuff!
Excellent! LUV the DC-9's may they soldier on!
Say hi to Captain Kavengo....family right there
Fantastic plane and great to see a pilot manhandling the controls.
I like in Mombasa ...a lot Kenya pilot very experience with old air plane . They are good maintenance of Air plane
Lovely work
Had some great fights on DC-9 30’s . Pilots often threw them around. I am told by a couple of pilots that flew them that they were “fun” to fly.
This is absolutely a spotless aircraft. Indeed an absolute beautiful plane and a real “pilots plane”. Wish these were still popular. Hate new jets
I wonder what the designers would say if we could go back to 1965 when the DC-9 first flew and tell them that there would still be a few airlines flying this plane in the year 2020.
Beautiful 😍
Pristine Professionalism. Well done.
Great aircraft, awesome professional crew!!
Yes Sir, hand fly that baby! Love it.👍
the captain moves the wheel pretty aggressively after take off but the airplane is flying wings level!
He was probably counteracting crosswind rather than trying to initiate some sort of turn, so he's moving the yoke but the wings remain relatively level
Those baby 9's are a rocket ship. Should've given the Pax a thrill on departure but I guess comfort is more important.....
como olvidar a los DC - 9 super 80 aqui en la argentina volo con los colores de AUTRAL lineas aerea yego volando vajito. al aeropuerto del plumeriyo. y mucha gente fue a esperarlo. un avionaso grasias x este video
Loved old airplane 💗💗💗
Very relaxed and easy crew. No acting up for the cameras as we are used to.
African boyz doing what they do best. Good and safe flying gentlemen.
África país de gente linda que Dios los Bendiga.......
I saw the FO do his after takeoff flow once the flaps were up and he set climb power. I kept wondering wtf happened to the slats, then I remembered, the 14 never had any!
whoopie!!!
The 10 and 14 don't have any slats
@@brayanlee5073 , Yes. The 10 represents the 'series', and the 14 represents one of the versions within the Series 10 plane.
You can see why pilots love this plane.
Great video!
Nice job guys
How good the cabin looks, good in general the plane!
5:44 i love that buzzer sound xD
I used this airline for years flying from Nairobi into Mogadishu. All the rest are pretty awful but never had any issues with sax
They should bring these old school planes back into production ,with some updated software
The MD-90 was the shit. Then Boeing brought MD.
The Chinese Comac ARJ-21 sort of tried (tries?) to achieve that...
There was also a 717 but it never caught on well.
I już lecimy,ale fajnie i już jesteśmy w chmurach bajkowo, zazdroszczę wrażeń 👍👍👍💚💚💚💚
God this Cockpit looks stunning .. 👍🤘🏼😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yesss! Keep on truckin’👍😃
Wow I have never seen portable Garmin GPS units mounted to the panel of an airliner before
the actual take off is @ 3:48. so he first half is boarding and taxi time. change the name of the video to FLY SAX DC9 FROM BOARDING, TAXI TO TAKE OFF
Love the old airliners. Airplanes are too automated these days
Hunter Fagan if you look at a lot of takeoff and landing videos on older aircraft you will notice they are usually flown just about the same way as today even with better computer technology. The Autopilot has always needed a lot of pilot input and still does. Many pilots hand fly more than they are being credited and even when the plane is on autopilot pilots are always in control of the plane. It is simply a tool
Some of the overly complex flight control platforms are casually embraced before exhaustive testing....MCAS on the MAX for instance😓
And what's the problem with that
Game Tiger mainly, I just prefer flying airplanes with basic steam gauges. I don’t mind if the plane has auto pilot. I find that helpful when flying single pilot ifr. But it doesn’t seem fun to just program an fmc and have the plane do all flying
@@hunterfagan6272 so your a pilot oh
amazing,fantastic
I love it seems to me all African pilots like to do steep turns!!! great flying....
Fly forever DC9
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I wonder if this plane has autopilot?
It does it's on the center console between the pilots. I only saw it briefly engaged toward the end of the video. LUV the DC-9's!!!!
No flight director on the ADI?
MAGNIFIQUE.............
Bet these pilots have more fun than those that fly heavies over long transoceanic routes.
OMG that thing is amazing
I’ve got 20 years in the 9 it is so funny to see fms in the 9 doesn’t seem right.
Real pilots environment.
Dang they even modernized it with a bit new gear too
When was this video made. Are they still flying DC9s? They are older then dirt!
Cool video my dad flew a DC9 for usair
Muy chévere pero y el aterrizaje???
That's alot of work.
Salute
Dc 9 ❤️😀👍
more please!
I have not uploaded much in the past couple of years, but there will be more starting in a couple of months, including more of this DC-9!
Why they are using a GPS if they have a FMS
Very tidy...looks like a recent reburbishment
Nice
Am little bit confused,...I thought DC planes are no longer in service
It was retired last year.
i LOVE THIS VIEW AND THE EXPERINCE OF IT BEHIND A DC9 FLOWN BY AFRICANS IN AFRICA ON AN AFRICAN AIRLINE JUST COULDNT BE MORE AWESPIRING
They must have changed instruments on board. Seems to be new ones in order to provide more security.
Excellent pilots.
Is that a Garmin 430 up there?!
Can’t beat that in a DC9 😂
Nope. That there is a Tom Tom.
Oh, for another flight on a DC-9!
Meu sonho é ter uma viagem aérea não precisa ser internacional mas que eu aproveite de uma bom lanche e umas quatro horas de voo espero realizar meu sonho um dia mas no momento não tenho condições financeiras fazer 🙁
more lcd displays than a 787 :D:D:D
The Garmin Aero GPS mounted on the dash cracks me up. Africa is weird.
😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
Douglas!
