Flight Alloy, all I can say is you would have had an absolute fit on most of the flight testing flights I was on. Flight deck door blocked open for the entire flight, nobody went through security before boarding, food and drinks on the flight deck (granted, only water to drink if it was a customer aircraft), etc...

An American AME friend was allowed to jumpseatin the cockpit from SFO to MUC last week but not allowed to do the same into the UK on his way home as our CAA forbids that despite the FAA permitting it.

LAME = Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, if not licensed then Fitter or Mechanic. In the USA a licensed engineer is an "A & P Mechanic.
AME = Aviation Medical Examiner. That's how I've always known it. |

The aviation world is full of so many acronyms that they are bound to overlap.
Once tried to operate a flight without using acronyms. We didn't get far with the before start checklist before we gave up. |
Part 2 is up with the return flight, LY 1747

Have watched a few of Sam's video's. He had some very interesting titles, so I clicked.... Then spent 80% of the time watching Sam film himself rather than the aircraft/scenery etc. Interesting variety of flights certainly, but I tune in for the aviation not to watch Sam's mug on selfie cam.

Big picture: It was brilliant marketing and a lot of fun based on the excitement in the media and having watched video.
....... Regardless of security matters - which we can all assume were handled properly by all of them for their final 747 flights, it gave these airlines opportunities to allow their passionate customers, frequent fliers, staff and former employees to enjoy something. The added media coverage, whether by Sam or an individual onboard, really gives positive value to airlines and an industry more often on the receiving end of criticism (even if deserved). While I am not a fan of the bloggers or many of Sam's videos, he has also showcased unique routes, and small regional airlines, some with interesting geographical challenges. A most interesting video is one he did of NOLINOR B737-200 Combi equipped with Gravel Kit. Little of him in that video but a lot of insights from the crew. Worth the watch. While many of us much prefer more aviation, less blogger, there is far worse out there that shouldn't even qualify as a video, let alone informative. The LY 747 Drawing event is interesting from both the technical and consumer viewpoints, and to to some here as well.

For the uninitiated, how the Hell can this be done with such accuracy? Can it be loaded into the FMC?
Excellent job BTW. |
