Some time ago, we had the great pleasure of welcoming another very special guest to our fly747 flight simulator: Captain Joe, author, YouTuber and professional Boeing 747 pilot. Captain Joe is known for his exciting and educational videos about aviation, which inspire millions of fans around the world. His visit to us was a highlight that we would like to share with you.  

Shooting in the flight simulator

Captain Joe joined us to produce some Instagram stories and instructional videos . His YouTube video produced by fly747 about the correct take-off of a Boeing 747 has already been clicked on over 120,000 times in a short space of time. Preparing for take-off is one of the most important and exciting phases of a flight, and who better to demonstrate this than an experienced pilot like Captain Joe? You can watch the finished video here. Our state-of-the-art flight simulator fly747 enables professionally trained pilots as well as private enthusiasts to experience the B747 in 100% detail. For the video shoot, it was the perfect environment to demonstrate the various sections both procedurally and technically. From callouts to FMA (Flight Mode Annunciation) and Autoflight System Behavior-everything is included.  

The mother of all aviation questions as inspiration

Can a passenger land an airplane? Can a passenger land a plane? In what is probably Cpt Joe’s best-known YouTube video, which now has more than 6 million (!) clicks, he explores precisely this question and tries it out with a non-pilot. Inspiration enough for us to include a corresponding, unique module in our program. Find out if YOU can do it or give the gift of an ultimate challenge direct booking or gift voucher.
