777-300ER cockpit flight with Etihad!

Today we're flying in the Etihad 777-300ER flight deck. We've got the jumpseat from Rome Fiumicino over to Abu Dhabi’s new Zayed International Airport on EY86, and this is the first time we’ve done a 777 cockpit video. We’ve got plenty of power, a great crew, and of course, some GPS jamming once again. We’ll take a look at some of the software Etihad uses for increased situational awareness and flight planning too, hear from the pilots about such diverse topics as whether they like the 777 and why, what they have to do in the 777 when they lose the GPS, how the radios work, high terrain escape route planning, Airbus vs Boeing, how they calculate the mix of thrust reverser and braking on landing and more. Hope you enjoy it!

MSFS really looks realistic now. They even nailed the accent of ATC

[joejohnson]

Without a doubt, this is one of the best cockpit videos I’ve ever seen.

gonna recreate this route with pmdg 777 in msfs tomorrow.

I absolutely love that you included the interactions with ATC. Absolutely keep this format going

The B77W is an absolutely gorgeous beast of an airplane! Them GE90-115Bs pack a lot of punch, and she’s one aircraft that I’ll never have any qualms flying.

Thank you for this video, mate. Also, cheers to the FR24 crew.

FCO is one of my most visited airports so it’s just so wonderful watching this and knowing exactly where this 777 beauty is taxiing and taking off from! Almost as if I’m inside that cockpit myself!😍

Great video, cool guys on the flight deck.

I really enjoy your content. To me, your humility and enthusiasm shine through. Unlike other ‘miles’ focused accounts, where they focus on ‘humble bragging’ about their premium class passenger experiences, I enjoy your attention to why aviators love to fly.

Excellent video as always. Love the 777.
