Though I prefer modern aircraft with highly advanced cockpits, I still like to marvel at the old classic aircraft with their anolog cockpits filled with all the dials and knobs etc. I also love the look of the Flight Engineers Panel, decpite it looking super complicated like.
Even to this day, every time I see a Boeing 747 I still can't believe how big that airplane is and how well it flys. What a milestone in aviation history.
@@TauP420 Dude I'm not a boomer.I'm complaining about how the digital displays look boring in a cockpit.My house is filled with devices dude.I'm not against new tech.It's just that I hate glass cockpits because I'm a steampunk lover, so I love gauges and switches and shit.
imagine monitoring all these analogue gauges ...during a whole flight while ...now modern aircrafts have digital screens where with a button click u can view every thing
Very cool to see how it was done. What airline can afford such an expensive classic? Must be a cargo flight!?! Feels like watching a WWII B-29 startup.
Question to 747 enthusiasts: how many auto pilots are on this aircraft in the video? And how can you tell? (Hint: answer can be determined by looking at the video around 0:49 sec point).
@@ilikeleaking There are three. You can see each one of the 'bat handles' on the flight guidance panel (the autopilot panel). They are called autopilot A, B and C (some airlines may have them labeled another way). Some 747 panels only have two of these bat handles thus only having two autopilots.
EICAS put these guys on the unemployment line. Black boxes, a handful of pushbuttons, electronic voice advisories, and a color t/v screen. And no one to tangle with the HF radios, or mind the store when the two people up front were nodding off. Or make the best cup of coffee. Progress...
+perfectscotty No. Not an SP. If you look at the Flap indicator you will see there is a Flaps 25 position. The SP does not have flaps 25. Also if you see the Flight Engineer electrical panel you will see there is a Split System Breaker between the #2 and #3 Generators. The SP does not have this either. There are a few other differences that I see also.
They are paid for what they are able to do, when necessary: landing in difficult weather conditions, with crosswinds; rejecting a takeoff safely in the event of an engine failure below V1; dealing with various in-flight emergencies; etc. Many of these things are practiced in simulators, where the pilots work quite hard to maintain their proficiency.
I still feel a flight engineer should still have been implemented on the B777 . we need a human being in the flight deck not just computers. Lack of a flight engineer onboard has caused major air crashes like mas airlines 777 over the south China sea. From Rayhan Ahmed (cargo aircraft loader)
Its all about the money my friend, you pay once for that shitty computer so after a while when it is earned back it starts making profit, while a flight engineer has to be paid every single month. The biggest issue is that it is allowed by law so we cant do anything about it. But yes you are right we have seen a lot crashes lately with those shitty computerized deadtraps. There cant fail that much when it is all analog.. just one bad sensor and you got a huge problem.
Is the co-pilot wear baseball hat 🧢 while flying a commercial airliner? Let me know the company so I can avoid all these flagrant disrespects to the plane itself, the company, and aviation. They speak a non international language of aviation!!!
Wait until you find out most pilots wear baseball caps when flying airliners 💀 and wait until you find out that cargo pilot also change into hoodies and gym shorts when flying long haul.
The flight engineer is like the drummer for a band, usually forgotten by the public but is an essential member of the group.
This is what you call a cockpit!
This thing is like a damn spaceship!
That’s one hell of a panel. The engineer has that saucy flow
Antonov 225 : Hold my panel 🍻
True, you'll be even more shocked by AN-225's one, but it is the biggest plane in the world, so yeah.

I love flying aircraft with analogue cockpits. Even my watch is analogue!

That's all the technology of yesterday. With a computer, all this is displayed on a screen.
Fuck digital control panels.They're shit.Just lit up things you can touch.I like physical buttons and switches.
When the screens fail your dead but most militaries still use analog/flight engineer panels just in case

@@Nexalian_Gamer "digital displays look boring" That doesn't mean they're bad though. Pilots are not on the flight deck for their entertainment.

Soon it’ll be no buttons
But,,, when these buttons/display conditionally fail, you won’t see a damn thing !!! 😂
Sophisticated video game
Beautiful panel.
I love all the different lights it's beautiful
Glad to have seen this video. This is the 747-SP cockpit I assume ?
Very cool to see how it was done.

I miss those old cockpits, none of the modern digital display crap of today
Just pure gauges and switches
Rejection of extinction of flight engineering
Please please please hold the camera still!
Worthless even trying to look at this POS.
You mean the continuous shaking isn't helping?!
Boeing 747 Flight engineering panel. Engine about to start but there is no light. So the ignition failed to start the engine with in time.

3 at different commands levels
I’m assuming 3 one on the captains side, first officer and engineer?

Is there a gauge that shows how much piss and shit is in the tank?
Could be an old Saudia B747-300, MX Run up . The guy on the F/O seat seems not to be a pilot
All maintenance personnels
booening vidéo :D
super old airplane.

Is that an SP model ?

john d what do u mean by also if u see flight engineer electrical
John Duffy yeah but I can't see ur reply now
*The work of a flight engineer is harder than the work of a pailot*
*Then why do pilot get more money and respect than a flight Engineer?*
College boys, vs enlisted personnel.

Pregunta ridícula.
Porque el gerente de una empresa gana más que el operario?
What are the flight engineer doing?
65181026
Checking and troubleshooting all the plane’s systems
65181026 they are engineering the flight.
@@MikeJ2023 wtf

They started to do it on the B-767, like the A-300 had, but the pilot's unions and/or the legacy carrier's management put the kibosh on it.

When humans and not computers actually flew planes.
This mantennse. Check the aircraft on ground
I'd rather have humans behind the switches than unpredictable computers.....
Yeah, sadly planes are more computerized now
When the EICAS was invented ,the flight engineers were unemployment!
and just thing..soon there wont even be piolts
He is very close to pushing buttons he does not want pushed! Be careful my dude!
Do these fools even know what there doing.
English is the international language of aviation, why would they make a video speaking hindi and the title is in english?!?!

Lol my dad just wears tank top and denims while smoking ciggs inside his 707 cargo. Here in sulu province, philippines.
Ummm. No. These are just maintenance engineers doing a standard routine engine startup and shutdown! Lol😆

Tell that Chinese man to take that
Stupid yellow hat off and also tell
