Preparation:
Preflight Inspection: Prior to initiating the takeoff procedure, the flight crew conducts a thorough preflight inspection of the aircraft. This includes checking all systems, control surfaces, engines, and ensuring the aircraft is in airworthy condition.
Cockpit Setup: The pilots enter the cockpit and prepare for the flight. This involves setting up the flight management system (FMS), programming the route into the navigation system, and configuring the autopilot and other flight instruments.
Briefing: The flight crew conducts a pre-takeoff briefing, discussing the departure procedure, runway, weather conditions, and any other pertinent information relevant to the flight.
Takeoff Procedure:
Taxiing: The aircraft is pushed back from the gate or starts its engines at the parking stand and taxi to the assigned runway. The pilots communicate with air traffic control (ATC) for taxi instructions.
Pre-Takeoff Checklist: Prior to entering the runway, the pilots run through a pre-takeoff checklist, which includes items such as setting the flaps to the appropriate takeoff position, verifying engine parameters, ensuring flight controls are free and correct, and setting the autothrottle.
Lineup: Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft stops and lines up with the centerline. The pilots verify the runway is clear and obtain clearance from ATC for takeoff.
Thrust Application: The pilots advance the throttles to initiate takeoff thrust. In the case of the Boeing 747, which typically has four engines, the throttles are advanced simultaneously or sequentially to achieve takeoff power.
Acceleration: As the engines spool up and produce thrust, the aircraft begins to accelerate down the runway. The pilots monitor engine parameters and ensure the aircraft is tracking straight along the runway centerline.
Rotation: At a predetermined airspeed known as rotation speed (Vr), the pilot flying (PF) gently pulls back on the control column to raise the nose of the aircraft. This action initiates the transition from ground roll to flight.
Liftoff: As the nose is raised, the wings generate sufficient lift, and the aircraft becomes airborne. The main landing gear leaves the ground, and the aircraft climbs away from the runway.
Climbout: After becoming airborne, the pilots retract the landing gear and continue climbing away from the airport. They follow the departure procedure as instructed by ATC and navigate towards their planned destination.
Conclusion:
Performing a successful takeoff in a Boeing 747 requires precise coordination between the flight crew, adherence to standard procedures, and meticulous attention to detail. From preflight preparations to liftoff, each step in the takeoff procedure is critical to ensuring a safe and efficient departure.

Hey everyone!
Welcome back to my channel! I had the honor to get invite to a glider flight with one of Germanys most professional glider pilots, Stefan Langer!
In this video we want to show you, how you could benefit from glider flying at a young age, and if I as a 747 pilot still have the skills to fly these beautiful planes. Yes I did throw up, but once that was out the way, I regained control and had so much fun trying it out. I wanna say after a few more flights I would have felt confident enough to fly solo.
Here are a few reasons why Stefan and I believe you should start out with glider flying if you are considering a career as an airline pilot:
-You can solo at the age of 14
-The transition to powered airplanes is easy.
-Glider flying is less expensive!
-You learn a lot about energy management.
-You'll become a part-time meteorologist!
-VFR tracking skills
-You learn to fly coordinated AT ALL TIMES.
-The flight experience is one of a kind!
-Resilient to turbulence
-Ways of taking off
-Better maintenance understanding
-Team effort
-People you meet

In today’s video we’ll be talking about …
A Fedex Federal Express Boeing 757-200 freighter, registration N977FD performing flight FX-1376 from Chattanooga,TN to Memphis,TN (USA) with 3 crew, was climbing out of runway 20 when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet reporting a minor issue requiring them to work checklists. About 15 minutes later the crew indicated they needed to return to Chattanooga and needed some time to run the checklists, no emergency was declared. Another 5 minutes later the crew reported they still needed time to bring the flaps down, then they would be ready for an approach. The crew reported ready for the approach another 4 minutes later and commenced the approach, advising they were having flight control issues but no assistance was needed. While on approach the crew requested to abort the approach advising they now had an unsafe gear indication. The crew subsequently indicated that after landing they would not be able to vacate the runway, they were able to lower their landing gear, and declared emergency. The crew subsequently requested a low approach to have the airport check whether the gear was down. Following the low approach both ground staff and tower reported they could not see any gear. Emergency services were alerted to a "no gear landing" at alert level 3. The crew advised they would be stopping on the runway and would evacuate, they had about one hour of fuel remaining. The aircraft positioned for a no gear landing on runway 20, then advised they wanted another orbit, approach clearance was cancelled. About 10 minutes later the crew intercepted the localizer runway 20 again and touched down about 85 minutes after departure but overran the end of the runway. Tower immediately closed the airfield when the aircraft touched down. There were no injuries.
Chattanooga's fire department reported: "Public safety agencies rushed to the Chattanooga Regional Airport late Wed night after receiving reports that a FedEx757 was on its final approach with a landing gear failure. The call came in at 11:04 PM on 10/4/23. CFD, CPD and HCEMS quickly staged in position and waited."
I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little aviation fact for today! More to come tomorrow!
Wishing you all the best!

Why do you sometimes see an Airbus Beluga stranded at Düsseldorf airport?
One of many routes which the Airbus Beluga flies is between Toulouse and Hamburg Finkenwerder. Hamburg lies on the north coast of Germany and often experiences gale force winds. Due to the relatively low crosswind limit, the Belgua every now and then has to divert to Düsseldorf or other airports along the route and wait for the winds to calm down. The downside of being so big!

What plane is the basis for the Airbus Beluga?
It is definitely a very unique-looking plane, transporting wings and parts of the fuselage from one Airbus factory to another!
When Airbus came up with the idea of building a transport plane, they didn't design a whole new aircraft but rather converted an A300-600 and placed the huge upper deck on top of it.
The newest Beluga XL is now a conversion of the Airbus A330.

What is the purpose of these devices?
Those are so-called Vortex generators which can be found on many general aviation planes and even passenger jets like the 737. They maintain the airflow at low speeds and delay the stall by creating a vortex which re-energizes the boundary layer close to the wings surface.

Did you know that crew on the Avro Vulcan got rid of all their secret documents in mid-air?
During the Falkland war, the Brits used the slightly aged Avro Vulcan to bomb a runway on the small island of Port Stanley. On their return to the Ascension islands, they had an engine failure and had to divert to Rio de Janerio. The crew was worried that the Brazilians might search their plane for secret documents regarding the war. So during the approach, one of the crew opened the cockpit window and threw all important documents overboard and into the sea!

Tailless planes like fighter jets or delta wing planes such as Concorde have no horizontal stabilizer/elevator. What do they have instead?
So-called, Elevons or tailerons are control surfaces that combine the functions of the elevator (used for pitch control) and the aileron (used for roll control). If you put the words elevator and aileron together, you get an "elevon".

Richard Branson and his Virgin Atlantic have always made positive headlines. One of them which stands out is that all their planes have female nicknames. Richard Branson loved the idea of giving his planes names like they do with boats. Boats are primarily named after women, so he incorporated the same with his airplane fleet.

What is an unwanted side effect of the Lockheed SR-71 when parked on the ground?
The plane's hull was made from titanium. And after each flight, the titanium contracted as it cooled off from the high temperature it experienced during flight, leaving gaps through which the fuel would drip out.

Make a guess on how many Lockheed Blackbird-71s were built.
They were extremely expensive at the time, and only 32 of them were built, out of which 12 were lost.
The last flight of an SR-71 was in October 1999.
None of the remaining 20 are airworthy and spend their retirement in museums.

Question: Which RAF bomber plane became famous during the Falkland War in 1982?
After the war had broken out over the Falklands in 1982, the Argentinians took over the small airport Port Stanley and converted that into a military base for their fighter jets to bomb the British destroyers and army on the ground. The Brits then set out on a mission to destroy that runway to harm the Argentinian air superiority. The only plane they had was an old Avro Vulcan from cold war times. They had to install an air-to-air refuelling hose in order to fly all the way from Ascension island down to the Falklands to bomb the runway.

During the Berlin Blockage from June 1948 to May 1949, the Berlin Airlift was put in place. A lot of people went on to believe that DC-3 was the workhorse for bringing food and cargo into western Berlin. But in actual fact, far more Douglas C-54 Skymaster were used. In commercial use, the plane is better known as the DC-4, with its four radial engines.

In September 2018, the sleek Perlan 2 glider carried two pilots to 76,100 feet, or more than 14 miles, over the El Calafate region in southern Argentina. That's the highest altitude ever reached by humans aboard an unpowered fixed-wing aircraft and one of the highest altitudes reached by an aircraft of any description.

Do you know why they didn't use the most modern fighter jet for the last Top Gun movie?
A lot of moviegoers questioned why producer Jerry Bruckheimer didn't use the latest, most modern fighter jet in the Top Gun movie, such as the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning. Showcasing America's latest technology. The primary reason, the F-35 only comes as a single-seater, which would have made shooting the actors very difficult and primarily use visual effects to compensate. Therefore they decided to use the Boeing F-18 F two-seater, mounting the cameras on the back of the pilot seat.

Did you know the Iranians are the last ones to have the F-14 Tomcat in their Airforce?
You have all seen the first Top Gun movie in which Tom Cruise fights off the bad guys in his Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Sadly the US retired the F-14 in 2006. Except for the ones in Iran. So in order to bring her back in the last Top Gun movie, they used visual effects for the flying scenes. The one used in the hangar shot was a museum piece borrowed from a museum in California. They restored enough of the hydraulic system to be able to raise and lower the canopy but had to tow it to show it "taxiing," as it didn't have any engines. They definitely made it work!

What are most jet airplane tires filled with?
This may seem a bit weird, but most airliner tires are filled with Nitrogen!
The reason, therefore, is that air expands and contracts too much during temperature changes, which are significant for airplane tires. In order to reduce the risk of a tire explosion, they are filled with Nitrogen with up to 210 PSI in pressure, for example, on the 747.

Did you know that on most airline jets, the engine inlet is heated to prevent potential ice buildup on the engine inlet?
Airline jets use so-called bleed air, which is ducted from the jet engine's high-pressure compressor stage and then piped into the engine inlet at temperatures higher than 200 degrees to melt the ice.

In American aviation lore, the traditional removal of a pilot's shirt tail is a sign of the instructor's confidence in his student after the successful completion of the first solo flight. In the days of tandem trainers, the student sat in the front seat, with the instructor behind who would pull on the shirt tail to notify his student what they've done wrong or right!

Question: Is the cargo hold of a passenger aircraft pressurized?
Think about it! What else travels in the cargo hold and needs air to breathe and a regulated temperature to survive a long flight? Your pet! Most pets that are larger than the allowable cabin size get transported in the cargo hold. Also, passengers can have pressure-sensitive items, like shampoo bootles etc., in their luggage which could pop open causing some real trouble for the airlines. So yes, it's pressurized!

De Havilland built their first prototype of a jet-powered airliner in 1949, named the DH 106 Comet. Developed and manufactured by de Havilland at its Hatfield Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. Sadly several Comets crashed due to cracks in the airframe that appeared around their squared passenger windows, which couldn't withstand the forces of the cabin pressure.

We've all seen the sequel of Top Gun, and at the end of the movie, you see Maverick and Penny Benjamin whizzing off into the sunset with a P51. That plane actually belongs to Tom Cruise.
This Mustang was built in 1946. It was donated to the Civil Air Patrol unit and eventually ended up in a museum in Illinois. 1997 it was later completely restored and four years later bought by Tom Cruise in 2001. He renamed it to Kiss Me Kate after his ex-wife, Kate Holmes. If that ain't cheeky, I don't know what is.

Do you know what this is?
What you see here is the Apache's Fire Control Radar dome. The Longbow Apache detects surrounding ground forces, aircraft and buildings using the radar dome mounted to the mast. The radar dome sends out radio waves that can make out the shape of anything in range. The radar signal processor compares these shapes to a database of tanks, trucks, other aircraft, and equipment to identify the general class of each potential target. The computer then pinpoints these targets on the pilot's and gunner's display panels and can then attack or retrieve.

Do you know what's hidden behind this aerodynamically shaped bulge mounted to the aircraft wing?
For many smaller single-engine aircraft, this is a feature you can order when selecting the extras for your brand new plane or can be later installed too. What you see here is the weather radar housing. On larger jets, the weather radar is often hidden under the nose cone. As single-engine aircraft don't really have a nose cone, engineers had to come up with a different solution. So they placed the aerodynamically shaped housing at the leading edge of the wing to fit the small radar antenna.
