| Hop on the magnificent Boeing 737 and fasten your seatbelts for a midnight
flight in this classical airliner. Then enjoy some crazy flying in the full
motion 737 EFIS simulator! The video begins with our pilots doing some quick preparations and starting
up the CFM56 engines on our B737-300. Having
completed all the pre-flight preparations and checks we blast off into the dark
skies surrounding Rome International airport. You will then see a quick departure and climb out heading
towards our destination airport located in the northern parts of Italy. The
First Officer of the aircraft who is PIC (Pilot In Command) on the outbound leg
will climb the airplane to 28000 feet and navigate us en-route by sole reference
to the analogue instruments utilized on this amazing piece of long-standing
technology. Just a very basic FMC coupled to a mechanical HSI and the autopilot
will have to do the task of guiding us in pitch black darkness. To avoid making the video dull and boring, we have decided to
cut out the long cruise scenes and just show you the pure action! This means
that after takeoff and a short subsequent departure climb, we will spend minimal
time at FL280 and in stead transfer to the descent and approach phases for RW32.
The pilots had to counter high crosswinds and even a light tailwind when
performing the landing which meant that there was some swaying left and right
when trying to keep on the runway centerline on the very final phases of the
landing. Nevertheless, with the help of the captain who was constantly giving
wind updates, the FO managed to execute a perfect landing and get us to our
destination safe and sound. After taxiing in and shutting down the engines/systems we
will have a short break and do a quick walk around our Boeing 737. The engines,
wings, APU, wheel well and landing gear will be checked for any obvious damages
before we set off on our return flight to Rome. The inbound leg of our journey will be carried out by the
Captain and similarly to the first part of the flight, we will try to show you
the most interesting bits of the trip. We set up the instruments, start the
engines, taxi to the active runway and away we go for a powerful takeoff in a
nearly empty 737. You will most definitely notice how short the takeoff run was
and how fast the plane climbs to our designated altitude. Upon arrival at Rome,
we will have to deal with some rain and mild winds which didn't prevent our
pilot to execute a magnificent landing on RW16. In the second part of the film we will take you on a Full
Motion Boeing 737 cockpit simulator which is used for training real life pilots
on the most professional level. You will witness how our crew makes several
traffic circuits with winds as high as 40knots worsened by even stronger gusts.
There trainee pilots had to do several go-around's before eventually being able
to make a normal landing. And in order to show you something you have probably never
seen before, we have kindly asked our instructor whether it is possible to do a
loop in the 737 Sim? His answer was very straightforward: Lets find out! With
hight precision and professionalism we executed a full loop in the Boeing 737 Full motion simulator which was followed by a couple of
barrel rolls to make the whole thing look even more exciting. But that's not all! In addition to the main 737 Cockpit vs.
Simulator video we have included an extra bonus video to the package! This means
that you will get 2 videos for the price of one. The extra video features two scenarios where the
first will show you a landing made from the cockpit of the Boeing 737 as seen
from outside the Captain's perspective. We have mounted our camera on the panel
windshield so you could get a feeling of what a pilot sees in the final phases
of the flight. The destination airport was Oslo Gardermoen (ENGM) and the video
was filmed during winter. In the second part of the same video we will put
you inside the Blanik L13 glider for some head spinning aerobatics. Immediately
after being winch launched into the sky the instructor demonstrates what the
rugged glider is capable of doing. We will perform a spinning stall, full loop,
2 half loops, negative "G" dive and so
on...the instructor definitely tried making the cameraman feel dizzy. Extra Feture: The package also contains a couple of daytime
photos from the 737-300 flight deck to show you the cockpit instrumentation as
seen in daylight. Additionally we have included our own wallpaper in variable
sizes to make your desktop look great. |
