This was an excellent video even if it was off topic. Thanks for sharing the link. I didn't notice anything different in this procedure than what the procedure for an instrument flight in a Piper Cherokee would be. At a class B airport like SFO, it's not even that different if you are flying VFR. Of course they had a lot of cool video screens in the cockpit that you don't find in most small planes, and you normally don't have a co pilot helping with the landing checklist in a small plane, but the discourse between the pilot and the tower and then ground control, including frequency changes etc. are the same.

Wow, just wow! Those guys have a great job. Pretty cool things that they have planned later; sailing on the Bay, dinner at the Cliff House! Again, wow.

That is a cool video. It was celebrating the captain's last trip into SF. The fire trucks are traditional for this sort of thing. I am sure they were just celebrating his last ride as PIC. Although, I am also sure that those things are within the grasp of most folks if they place a priority on it. ________________________________ From: "Hutchings, Mat" <mat.hutchings@siemens.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 8:37 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Way OT but interesting -- landing of a Lufthansa airvus Wow, just wow!

Gee, their cockpit looked just like Brent's. :) The Wagner at the end was a nice touch. I understand while some airlines have three classes of passengers, first, business and coach, Lufthansa only has two, First Class and non-German... :) But seriously, it was interesting how much of the flying was "hands off". The captain in the video looks old enough to have spend much of his early career actually flying airplanes. But I wonder how much actual hands-on flying the newbies just coming online have. Old folks like me remember Arthur Godfrey. He knew how to fly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6VfkKjlhXs (pretty long but I enjoyed it) But, hey, here's evidence that with enough determination anyone can learn to fly: http://now.msn.com/jessica-cox-was-born-without-arms-but-is-a-qualified-pilo... patrick On 18 Feb 2013, at 09:16, Brent Watson wrote:

I remember Godfrey -- quite a jerk and died without any friends, I believe. He fired his assistant on air. ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 11:05 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Way OT but interesting -- landing of a Lufthansa airvus Gee, their cockpit looked just like Brent's. :) The Wagner at the end was a nice touch.

Patrick, Did you see any signs of a yoke or stick? I didn't. It looked like all the pilot had to do was dial in the vectors. On 2/18/2013 11:05 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:

No yoke or stick like in the "old" days. Many of the big machines today use a sort of stick that's very much like a video game controller, typically mounted to the captain's left and the first officer's right. And, yes, with the auto pilot, you can just dial in many things like heading, speed, rate of altitude change and the like. patrick
