The ultimate simulated Concorde experience: A full flight from London to New York, using real-world crew audio, ATC, checklists, procedures, charts, routings and more!
In today's video we're going heading towards the edge of space; where the sky gets darker, where you can see the curvature of the earth. We're going to be travelling across the Atlantic ocean at twice the speed of sound - faster than a rifle bullet. We'll cover 23 miles every minute, travelling faster than the Earth's rotation and we'll be arriving at our destination before we even departed. All of this. . . and yet we won't be spilling even a single drop of champagne enroute!
Today ladies and gentlemen, we are of course going to be flying Concorde.
We'll be operating Speedbird 001, the British Airways morning Concorde service from London Heathrow, over towards New York's John F Kennedy. I have tried to recreate the flight as accurately as possible; using a real-world routing, real world checklists, techniques, procedures and charts, as well as real-world ATC. I have even included some real-world Concorde audio clips along the way.
In terms of our routing; takeoff will be from London Heathrow's runway 27L on the Compton 3G departure. We'll be tracking westbound out towards waypoint KESUP and once we're out over the Bristol channel, we'll be accelerating ourselves up towards Mach 2, leaving Concorde's iconic sonic boom in our wake. We'll be traversing the Northern Atlantic at some 60.000ft, covering over 1,100 miles every hour. It will take us just a little over 3 hours and 75 tonnes of Jet A1 to transport our 87 passengers, in absolute comfort, from the old world to the new. Having departed London at 10:30 local time, we'll be arriving into New York in time for breakfast.
We'll be flying the excellent, broadly "study level" Colimata Concorde within X-Plane 11. This video is really intended as a little homage to the spectacular machine that is Concorde. So I do hope you enjoy the journey, as we make our way over the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound.
A big thank you also to @UPS1000 and @pillow-pilot for your excellent tutorials! They were a big help in getting Concorde up in the air : )
