Kudos to the ground crew for patiently waiting over 48 hours for pushback. 👏

It's great to get back to the good old days & back to basics.

This is just so brilliant. After 4 decades of playing FS, I now have a better understanding of how to start these modern airplanes properly. Thank you for the effort to explain this in so much detail. Watching the other videos as well.

[charliechristensen]

Thank both of you so very much for taking the time to do all of this at such a fine level of detail! Will you guys do cruise, approach, and landing also?

[scottietoo]

About 3/4s of the way through, did that turn into the best podcast ever or just me?

[kgamer]

As an air traffic controller, I hate the max 🤣It takes way too long to start, when the slots get tight, I often say to pilots, "due to you being a max, you've missed your slot" 🤣

[magnusnielsen]

I dont know if u have any experience in home simulators but it might be worth messaging some popular flight sim streamers maybe fd2s if u have question about how to setup and mods that can make the home simulator more realistic. Also there is hardware that can help do that like a yoke. Great video ❤

[SwordQuake]

Hmmm when did you restore the hydraulics to the nose gear? Or was it when the ground crew showed you the pin?

[eddiehimself]

The reason you have an N1 and an N2 speed is because most modern engines like the CFM56 are two stage engines, meaning they have a low pressure stage (the fan, plus the outer parts of the compressor and turbine) and the high-pressure stage (the inner or core parts). The high-pressure stage runs faster than the low-pressure stage, so you get different N1 (low pressure) and N2 (high pressure) speed ratio readings.

I heard that the airline Widerøe has striped propellers on their aircraft and the pattern the spinning props make are more likely to dissuade birds to come close, thus avoiding more birdstrikes.

48 hrs!! I'm still working through checklists from the first video..
😂.. wonderful stuff

[tonep]

What a great video series! Thanks so much for giving such insight.

[brad.fuller]

on my list to watch :) Does this cover initialising the Inertial reference system? I find it fascinating that these devices can detect their latitude without any user input!!!

[ansakyt]

Mentour Now!: Are you all stoked?? I hope you like this.
Me: loving it; no sim rig, but I was someones "private-instructor" test-student; some of my sweetest uni-years memories; having an #absolutelyfantastic time...

The airline that Peter flies, have the best SOP for the dispatcher and the pushback crew in general. They give clear instructions to the crew to inform them when they disconnect the towbar and the pin and after that they say signals on the left/right side. I find it great safety implemention, especially for the 73, because of the way the steering pin is located.

re ground vehicles vs taxiing aircraft: 21 years ago I was waiting to marshal an inbound ERJ when a fire truck came barreling up the taxiway on the inside (!) on the way to some fortunately non-fire emergency around the ALB Delta gates. For a fraction of a second I wondered about looking foolish overreacting to what our crew probably knew about already, then sense took over, I remembered how little I could see back and to the left the one time I sat in the captain's seat, and I crossed my wands in time to stop them turning to the gate and into a nasty t-bone.

As a newish hire I had no idea how or when to report an incident and no other rampies had been outside in time to witness. I went off to work a different flight thinking I was an overzealous noob, until our supervisor called me into his office to pass on a thank you from our pilots...who hadn't been notified about the fire truck at all.

[joachimkost]

can you pushback while parking brake is set? Or does the towlink neutralize the brake? couldn't see the step in the vid that brake was opened

[MrHabart]

There is no 35 Fairview Road - 31 is directly across from 34, with 33 to the North and 40 further down at the corner.

[kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

Hell yea!!! We love this stuff. Teach us more!!!!
