November 25, 201213 yr I recommend this DVD: Can be bought at this webiste: http://www.worldairr...rCanada772.html I got it a couple of days ago and I found time watching it this evening. Especially the Vancouver-Sydney flight is fantastic. A really good captain and F/O explaining a lot of the basics of the 777-200LR cockpit (including the EFB, and some digital ATC communication systems). I hope no one has posted this before, if so, then I sincerely apologize. Myself, I can't wait for the 777! I'm longing to fly some Trans-Atlantic flights on VATSIM in the cockpit of a 777. See you in the virtual skies and greetings from Sweden! First Officer, Isak Kindgren
November 25, 201213 yr Commercial Member It is a superb DVD. Alex Ridge Join Fswakevortex here! YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK
November 25, 201213 yr This looks like a good video. How in depth is the cockpit stuff. I am not too concerned how the coffee is made, or who cleans up the puke from a drunk passenger. But do they go over all the cool stuff setting up the cockpit for flight? Paul Gugliotta
November 25, 201213 yr This is my favourite Air Canada DVD - the Polar DVD is much less indepth. I'll say get the Turkish 77W too since the FO gives a brilliant tour of the entire flight deck with an hour of explaining the systems. - Luke Pabari
November 26, 201213 yr I have the 3 Air Canada DVDs T7 which are great, and also going to get the Turkish DVD. Jeff jeff atkinson
November 26, 201213 yr Also the Air Canada 777-300er is superb. Indeed it is. I'd have to put them about equally on systems explanations and stuff, but I'd rate the LR one slightly higher in terms of video production.

But do they go over all the cool stuff setting up the cockpit for flight? Well it's not like an Angle Of Attack video but they talk a lot about the ways to communicate with the ATC while they are over the south Pacific. They also gives you a full overview over the TCAS, the EFB, the WXR, but most of the things you can learn by just watching them work. I have the Air Austral 777-200/300 dvd as well, then this dvd is way better when it comes to the things you learn watching it! But if you are looking to learn all about the 777, I suggest, waiting a bit, then getting the Angle of Attack videos ^_^ EDIT: And I would like to point out that there is no time during the movie when you leave the flight deck to watch the flight attendants preparing meals or something like that. The only time when you don't see the Captain and the F/O is when they are inside the crewbriefing. First Officer, Isak Kindgren
November 26, 201213 yr then getting the Angle of Attack videos ^_^ Or from me.. for free :-) - Luke Pabari
November 26, 201213 yr Author Or from me.. for free :-) Are you claiming that you know everything about the 777? I might just give you a question or two when the 777 is out. But I have bought Angle Of Attack videos since the 747, and my trust lies at them, for now B) Regards, First Officer, Isak Kindgren

Sorry I'm not judging their knowledge, but anyone can gain or give the knowledge simply by reading manuals. - Luke Pabari

Sorry I'm not judging their knowledge, but anyone can gain or give the knowledge simply by reading manuals. Hi Luke, I don't want to start a discussion about AOA now. Can also anyone accompany their reading of a manual with a video with a good graphical interface explaining with pictures what they are talking about? (That was a retorical question but you see my point right?) we have different views on AOA but I find it convenient to use their videos instead of reading the FCOM's Regards, First Officer, Isak Kindgren
