Can't second THAT. From what I've noticed it's a set of standards rigorously rubbed in to the extreme. Once that happens it's from then on the building up of 'routine'. I don't think that you can REALLY prepare for disaster, because the machine is more computer programmed than man programmed.......Correct me if I'm wrong!!

@@gunorijssel7987 No matter how computerized a system is, if there's a human element there's "always" room for error, ALWAYS. It may rarely happen, but it only takes one. 😉

@@jeffg1524 Of course, the machine can't fly itself. It's not a 'chess computer'. Still, from what I've seen, as far as take off is concerned IT ALL BOILS DOWN to activities between 'push back and take off(ROTATE!). As far as LANDING is concerned IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO 1. end of auto pilot; 2. control landing checklist; and follow orders from the Tower(reduce height to 80, reduce speed). 100: continue, 50, 40, 30, minimum etc. Once you're in the air, things become pretty boring!

You got that right! I would be " Everybody shut up! Now what did you say?"

Same here !

Good luck. I'm jealous. I always wanted to fly but I think I'm past it now.

P - good luck !!!!

All the best!

Good luck... I hope to start before it’s too late

people who work on planes air pilots and hostesses are exposed to radiation as well

I agree...if I were a Captain, I would want a first officer like this, and as a passenger, I want the same ...great video!

I concur.

@@TheOriginalDonPablo i don't concur she's a woman

@@brendankearney3070 You serious?????

@@brendankearney3070 And you are a tool. Fiona is already an A320 Captain, and won't be changing your diapers when you crap yourself from being such a caveman.

Every first officer is a captain in training!

The captain seems to be a nice guy,well mannerd

Yes she is, and very easy on the eyes!

Portland Native 4:40. A380 basking in the twilight. Beautiful sight.

I am getting sick reading that silly comment, grow up

I didn’t ask you for your reply, are bad mannered comments so kindly mind your own business

Well when you put up a load of rubbish on KZfaq don't expect all to agree with you , grow up

Brendan kearney you’re just a very ignorant individual KZfaq could do with out the like of you

100% man.

For sure looks like it

@@mauricio7501 : it would stress me out too

It stresses me out on vatsim! Imagine the stress in the real world!

@@droidguy1571 2006 Comair in Kentucky wrong turn took off from a short runway and crash 49 killed

Not for long!

Another pussywhiped bloke

GroomLeader no lol, if you want good prices to Ireland, check out Norwegian airlines. Flights from New York to Shannon or Dublin for 69$ and up. No more than 150$ Sadly they stopped

Why would you want to stop off if you don't have to.

She will be a captain when she gets enough seniority, and not because she is better at anything because she is female. That’s how it works, there isn’t a “captains board” that meets and decides. She was hired because she is capable of being a captain, just like everybody.... female nor skill has anything to do with it.

Mark g Not true outside the US. In Europe, pilot promotions to Captain depend on talent, aptitude, exams and flying hours (usually at least 2-3k hours). It’s not uncommon to have Pilots under 30 years old in Command of a commercial airliner.

Anthony 1976 I stand corrected. That’s interesting.... this profession is gettin weird quick. So once she is a captain selectee, can she then fly anything, or does that then depend on seniority? In the US is was not uncommon to wait 15 years or longer to hold that seat. Although depending on specifics recently we have Captains that only have 3 or 4 years of seniority. But NOBODY is hired unless they are CAPABLE of being a captain from a standpoint of merit, license, medical, knowledge, and experience. At a Major Airline anyway. Fiona should be ashamed of the fact they are showcasing her not as a talented pilot, but as a female. The focus of this video isn’t on the crew, it’s just on her. That’s I think is demeaning to females in the profession. Clearly she didn’t do anything wrong in the video, it’s just the whole thing stinks of propaganda by the company.... they have lots of videos, and they are always showcasing the females. Shame on them for missing the whole point of a professional crew, and knowing that they would get less “clicks” from filming a couple of guys doing exactly the same thing. My opinion only....

Your not the only one bud same. Her husband is a lucky guy.

It's also called the assumed temperature method, inputting a higher OAT into the FMC which will calculate a lower takeoff thrust setting.

Look at the big brain on Einkoled....lol. Yes Assumed Temperature is another term. Flex and Assumed temp are basically different terminology but the same concept. Kind of like vehicle manufacturers using different terms for same system. Quattro, X-Drive, 4MATIC, etc..... Nice view of the British Airways A380 Landing and taxing by. Super is the new wake turbulence category for the design, weight and spacing for the A380. Heavy is the next category down. Note how her head is on a swivel during taxi especially when crossing active runway. The Captain is steering the aircraft but she is backing up traffic calls and watching for the other aircraft to make sure they keep the spacing.

@@stephencannon3140 You don't need to explain this to me. I studied the ATPL

EinkOLED not necessarily explaining to you, sounds like you have a handle on things. The explaining is for the other readers that probably don’t know Bupkus about jet engine performance.

How do you know the takeoff was legal or safe? Maybe somebody had an extra heavy comfort animal and they were overweight for that reduced😉

The views from the air are cool, but I always assumed flying in and out of SFO was a bit of a pain for aircrews. As the video demonstrates, the two parallel runways can add stress during taxiing. Plus there's been recent near accidents because SFO sometimes closes one of the runways for maintenance and pilots coming in have confused one runway for the other, almost landing on top of departing flights. Considering how much traffic they have to manage it's a relatively small airport so it can get hectic.

Pussywhiped man again

fixpacifica Yes, I thought one of the pilots would comment, “...runway is a bumpy ride!”

I agree, it would be nice if they showed a bit more

Not nearly so bumpy if you stop hitting the runway centerline lights with your nose wheel. 28R is rougher.

No More Libs there’s no difference, he simply stated that he would like to fly with her. Don’t know why you’re getting butthurt.

@@supremeaviation570 cuz everytime a female pilot is in a video, everyone goes "vErY pRoFesSiONaL" or "i'D fLy WiTh hEr". She didnt do anything special in the vid, like whats up? She took off in a plane she pretty much flies daily. Stop with the bs

Scott Skadsheim It does appear that she met the minimum standards, just like anybody sitting in an airliner. I agree, what’s the big deal about her being female, nobody even noticed the atrocity of the fact they had a female ramper on the push crew. System must be holding her down cause she is a female? This whole video was nothing more than an airline promoting itself by making a female seem like some sort of extraordinary rock star.... that fact alone should piss off the libs and the fems. She was used. Wonder why they even needed a captain on this flight?

@@markg7963 finally someone who gets it

why were they excellent? like what did they do? was it the way they taxied or the way they communicated ( it's called going through a checklist ) nothing special happened. We get it, she is a woman, gratz fam

What was excellent, this is exactly what is supposed to always happen in an airplane. Fail a couple of engines at liftoff and let’s watch them work a big snarly checklist and hand fly the plane on 2 engines, then we will know if we should be impressed or not....
