Interesting 747-400 videos
« on: April 21, 2014, 10:53:31 am »
Ahead of the B744 Event starting on 29th I thought it would be useful to highlight a few good Youtube videos to get everyone in the mood ;)

So if you're not intimately familiar with the history of the Queen of the Skies, start here:-

This next video may be useful for leg 3 of the Event, it deals with Oceanic crossings, fuel planning and checking on long sectors. Although it was filmed aboard a 747 Classic the principles are equally valid for the 744.

The next video shows a night-time pre-flight, taxi and take-off from Miami with good ATC for anyone who wants to practice their phraseology ;)

Today we've got a short video covering stalls in the 744, an engine fire and some discussion of the classic Kai Tak IGS13 approach for your enjoyment...

This next video continues from the last one with a review of engine starts, a chance to see proper takeoff technique and flap retraction and then some information about PFD and ND use:-

For the last video before the Event begins, I thought it would be nice to look at a video of another simmer who has put a lot of time into his sim cockpit! Since he filmed this sequence he has added a proper projection system for the views, follow the link to his other videos to see how much more impressive it looks after...
