The art of flight : pilots view (Video)

APM

A few of my colleagues have sent me this video. Thought I'd share it, taken over the course of a year as a captain of a Boeing 737-800

Great video, I must invest in a GoPro camera and do something similar. Record my working life because no doubt one day it will all be gone. There's already a GoPro video of me online, speeded up too. But only of a single flight.

That is a great video. I am in the middle of my ATPLs and had hit a brick wall until i watched that. Raring to go again now

@xflyer, I'm surprised at that, given that so many of your live cargo have cameras on their persons. Demand equal rights for camera-conscious pilots, now!!

Really nicely done video. Some lovely dramatic moments.

I love the part where they're approaching the island, presume its a spanish or greek island somewhere, and the pilot nicely banks to fly between a small gap in the clouds. I've always wanted to play around between clouds, never get the chance as a lowly student pilot

As the Instructor to take you up and play with the clouds. If you attack a small cloud you can actually break it up. It would be great fun to skim over a flat layer of cloud, there's would be a tremendous sensation of speed. If the cloud is heavily textured and coloured by the setting sun it almost looks solid like an alien planet. If there are valleys and peaks it's feels like low flying only perfectly safe. Another trick would be to find a narrow topped cumulus cloud and circle it trying to keep the inner wing just inside the cloud.

Of course I should add, I've never done any of that.;)
