As I watched this video I thought about my dad, and realized how proud I am of him. Although, he is gone I will always remember him through love and respect. He flew out of JFK for 31 years for Pan Am, and retired in 1979.

That was probably the most beautifully smooth landing I have ever seen!

I'm impressed by the professionalism needed to land an aircraft of this magnitude so smoothly, My sister-in-laws uncle is a true professional.. Great view of Rockaway and Jamaica bay inlets and my elementary school P.S. 42👍

Holy cow, that was a smooth landing!

One of the most gentle touch downs I've seen

My favorite part are the sound of the reverse thrusters.

For me this video is legendary as it was one of those that fueled my passion for aviation. I must have watched that one 1000 time's

My family flew KLM to Scotland and back to JFK US in '67. Amazing memory

Sick landing! Amazing pilots. Great job Captain :)

Great video, keep them coming.

Nice video!! I've been in the jump seat ... before September 11, 2001. It was an amazing experience, landing in Winnipeg Manitoba. The sunset was magnificent.

hey everyone, I fly little cessna 172's and every video i watch of a 747 it seems like they land flat. but to my perspective in a 172 we pitch way nose up to land. This is a truly excellent video, and it shows how great the 747 is.

im so high i thought i was playing gta lol

When they flew over the beach at the beginning of this video, I saw my house!

Blijven mooie beelden !!! Jaarlijks een dag of 10/11 naar NYC met KLM. Blijft een geweldig trip..... Still beautiful images !!! Annually 10/11 days to NYC with KLM. Still a great trip .... Ruuud Mulder (NYC-Fan) The Netherlands.

Cool view of the Rockaway Peninsula. Growing up I marveled at the giant jumbo jets taking off and landing at JFK. At about 30 seconds in the lower right you can see a 600 foot long "A" train on its way to Mott Ave.

The land of dreams I love America as well as Americans ❤️❤️❤️

Very nice video. Technology is amazing

Definitely amazes me on a regular basis! Technology has come a long way since Kitty Hawk.

very nice. I commend all pilots for their amazing abilities and knowledge. Kudos!!!

Smooth landing !!

Amazing excellent landing

Cool view most passengers might never see. Hats off to the pilot for his camera and airmanship.

That is absolutely SWEEEEEEEET! I'd pay to ride along in the cockpit in one of these beautiful giants!

1:55 did he say "speed brakes stuck"?

He was flying over the Jamaica Bay

That is a beautiful sight! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful Landing!!! - Thanks for the Video.

This is Cessna 172

It's all brilliant! Bet some of you armchair pilots would absolutely brick yourselves if you were doing this for real. Have respect.

Great crews like this make it look so incredibly easy. As a non-pilot married to a pilot I have a very small inkling of how much training this takes. Hats off to every crew in charge of every successful landing and takeoff!

Such a smooth landing. Awesome job!

welcome to new york, if you look out the left side of the airplane, you can see the largest prison on earth, riker's island

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing - I love the 747/4 and I only get to see them from six miles below! I live in the far NW of Scotland and they fly over my house on their way to and from the States and Canada etc. I'd sell my body for a chance to have a cockpit seat, but I'm not very skinny and I'll just have to wait and win the lottery lol :)

LOVE it!! Less confusing than when I rode the jump seat of a AeroMexico DC-10 in to JFK at night. Great memories for a private pilot!

Wonderful video, I loved it. Makes me nostagic for New York, at least to know the excitement of landing at either JFK or LaGuardia once again to visit. Grew up in Red Hook, Brooklyn that mysterious childhood I'll never forget. My memory is in black and white, even though I look at color videos now, I remember the gray fog on the river, I hear the sound of the tugboats.

Daimn that was one smooth landing! Thumbs up for the PIC

really really the nicest landings ive seen, usually the camera shakes it looks over roading, well done

very nice video with a great view over Jamaica bay. Thanks for uploading

Wow!! Nice flare and touchdown!! Well flown approach! I would definitely feel comfortable with these guys in control.

Fantastic piece of work with an outstanding piece of engeneering!

That landing was absolutely astonishing! EPIC WIN!

Love it! Let me feel like a little boy with his face sticked right to the windshield watching the flight! I am too old for that right now, plus there's no space even for a kid to get there! :) First class view! Thanx again! I also enjoy English with a Dutch accent!

My favorite SuredT youtube post, landing sequence N.Y. JFK, landing checkings completed!

great piloting and greater landing. thanks for sharing!!

Completely agree. I fly a lot and apart from take-off or landing I find flying an ordeal. I love watching these KZfaq videos though. I even find taxiing at JFK interesting when it's online!

Excellent upload. Dank je wel. KLM is a great airline of a great country.

I've been flying from NYC to Fl for some time. Each time I see JFK I'm always amazed at how filthy the airport is.

@ysflightman If you listen closely you can hear the engine reversers kick in. It basically redirects engine thrust forwards instead of out the back. Also as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac they deploy spoilers that come up from the wings adding extra drag. all those things put together slow that big bird down quickily!

Very smooth landing, as usual... He makes it look easy

i love these plane videos, could watch them for hours..... but not as much as i love all the know-it-all people commenting on every single one of them like they know what they're on about, just because they've played flight simulator 8 million or whatever :)

Great video! Watch you lads fly into YYZ and it always seam's to be a perfect landing!

That's was a beautiful approach and great landing. Very professional.

Couldn't have been more perfect.

Now *THAT* is what I call a smooth landing. They may have had a special camera, but I'm still going to give at LEAST 1.5-2 kudos for that landing.

That was REALLY smooth

super video, nice quality, cool landing

Very enjoyable landing on 4R. JFK is a fantastic airport to utilize. I always try to book air travel through there. The Jetblue terminal is really a pleasant place to visit ...except for the very last gate in the east wing. Don't miss the Exofficio shop for great travel clothes-

I wish I could fly as a passenger with you someday Captain. Your take-off's and landings are excellent.

@Kieran1693 They are lights on the side of the runway(glideslope path to) , they turn white if you are too high above the runway, and red if you are too low

You are amazing..My mother and I watch your videos all the time! I love aviation

@bmwgtrm3 Yep. At around 2:08-2:09, you can hear the pilot/copilot begin to call out the ground speed. The standard procedure for most 747s is to shut off the reverse thrust at around 80 knots ground speed (to prevent/reduce damage to the engines), and engage the wheel brakes. Right after one of the operators calls out "80" (as in "80 knots ground speed"), the other calls out "wheel brakes", signaling that they have been engaged.

Very nice soft landing... great job!!!

Why the hell are there so many dislikes?? These are the best point of view videos I have found on KZfaq!!

This is the most perfect landing I ever see.

That was a NICE touchdown!

awesome!!! that is rockaway beach, i stood there and watched the planes land =)

I've flown there. I worked there. I got married there. What an incredible view!

The landing seems so smooth from the cockpit view, or just because the video maybe;) NICE!

Couldn’t get any better than this..

Good question. They are coming in from the southwest, heading northeast just past Sandy Hook Bay when the video started. They were on approach for 04R which has a magnetic heading between 35º - 44º (northeast). At the beginning of the video the Manhatten skyline is about one video width off to the left.

Great Landing at JFK, I am always excited to experience touching down there.

smooth as butter. thanks APH

Perfect landing! A pleasure to watch gentlemen!

I didn't know whether they were landed before I heared the reversers... SMOOTH landing!!

Such smooth landing.. the camara didn´t even moved.Nice

Damn.... these guys make it look so easy Nice landing

Thanks. Beautiful landing.

UUUH? SOOO SMOOTH ... GREAT PILOT MAN ...

Great work recording this video!

What a job to have. Nice flying, goed gedaan.

wow! what a great landing! and it seemed very short too

that toucdown was awesome, didnt ever realise it was down till I heard the speedbreaks arm

Le plus beau bureau du monde

That was pretty awesome landing! Dutch pride! :)

I am not sure which job I would like better! Yours or mine lol! That looks like fun and work! Great job!

Perfectly on centerline... amazing

Great landing man can't wait until I can do that

neat landing - been in a few 747s (747-100 types) TWA, BA, Aer Lingus landing in New York but that's quite a while ago now.

No, it was me who made the video and I also was the captain on that flight. I hope you had a nice flight and please join us again.

@SuredT you have some amazing quality takeoff/landing videos that cant be found anywhere else on youtube (at least that I've found) and i would be extremely happy if you kept uploading videos of its kind.

@CRGboy1 no there are areas where the cowling opens which redirects thrust outward but its called reverse thrust

WOW!!! what a professional landing!!!!

thanks for posting this video, great views.

What an amazing view. Thanks for sharing guys...

that landing looked so smooth

Dude this pilot is BEAST!

oh guys, prior touch down it's height above runway elevation in feet and the call outs prior leaving the runway are indicated airspeed (in this case the same as ground speed) in knots ;)

@Sony1995forever Could be one of multiple things you are hearing then. The sound of the wheels hitting the runway, the speed brakes applying or even the reverse thrusters.

What a smooth landing!!!! I want this pilot every time I fly!
