Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 In this excellent video, a former 747 Captain shows you exactly how to smoothly execute a runway sidestep manoeuvre. Here's a link to the video (from the first posting in the thread on the PSX site): http://aerowinx.com/forum/topic.php?post=25379#post25379 Cheers, Bruce a.k.a. brian747 Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,495 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 If it took BritJet1 3 or 4 attempts to successfully complete the procedure we're doomed! Interesting video Bruce, thanks for sharing Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 > "If it took BritJet1 3 or 4 attempts to successfully complete the procedure we're doomed!" Nah, not at all (honest, guv) — it's amazing the difference it makes when you follow the correct procedure, i.e. the one the pros use. Although I do have to confess that all my past attempts at doing it my own way *have* been pretty much doomed, though. But not any more.

Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Stop press: Two more videos now available (from the same link given in the first post in this thread). These are of specific interest to Big Boeing vlyers, since they give details and inside information about the THRUST LIM page and the TAKEOFF REF page on the CDU. The next video is already in the works and, like the first one about the sidestep manoeuvre, is of more general interest, since BritJet will be talking about go-arounds. Cheers, B.

hifly 925 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Brian/Bruce, although I don't have PSX they are very informative. Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi Geoff! You're welcome, mate. It's not often we get the benefit of a 744 Captain's advice about how to do it properly, that's for sure. Incidentally, the go-around (part 1 of 2) video is up, as is one discussing cold weather operations. Cheers, B. Link to post Share on other sites
