Nice camera angle in the flight deck.

Superb vid

Looks like stirring coal with that joystick!

Hardly precise is it-loads of slack.

[AndyACB]

That is very nicely done, please don't banish it to the endless youtube vid thread.

Yeah damn those 200 ton airliners with all that inertia. Why can't they handle like a video game?

I hope it's not 200 ton, she may have a problem getting off the ground!

Was just a guess. But 200 tons does not seem at the top end of an Airbus MTOW (based on a quick google), but I have no idea which specific type it is in the vid.

Anyway the point remains - there is a lot of intertia there and its not going to handle like a video game.

To me that looks to be a member of the A320 family.

So MTOW for a A321 is 89 or 93 Metric Tonnes depending on which one is being flown.

Most airlines tend to restrict these unless required for payload so that the airways charges may be reduced.


And he does seem to be stirring the pot way too much!

It will be somewhere in the 60 to 75 tonne range most likely. Not clear as to which version it is but I'd be tempted to say A320 based upon the wingtip shot about halfway through. It's very difficult to see the wingtip on the A321 and you can see more on the A319.

well it first takes of and land at Santos Dumont Airport in Rio De Janeiro if that helps and from memory not many big planes take off from there,could be one of the smaller airbuses, its mainly used for the rio - sao paulo flights

On the 321 its nigh on impossible unless you push your face up against the window.

It may not always be the same aircraft type in all the videos, lots of operators operate all three.

[RVIANT]

think its a A318 from his other videos

[ZeeTacoe]

Won't the fly by wire be smoothing out the guy's inputs anyway?

[mrloudly]

It's flying slowly as well which slows everything down ;-)

[flatsix3.6]

Is there a link to anymore of his videos.

[CelicaGT]

I think I have an idea of where he got the idea for using that song...
