  • Kenya Airways Dreamliner - All Female Crew

    Nice video of 787 ops...

    To paraphrase a comment by another poster on airliners.net, this is a 787 with an "unmanned" cockpit :-)

    At 3:48 in the video, you can see the cockpit view as the 787 lands. During landing, you can see a lot of movement of the flight controls. Also, both flight yokes are moving in unison -- very different from the Airbus philosophy, where you don't have this very visible feedback on what either pilot is doing with their sidestick controls.

    I was surprised that there was so much movement of the flight yoke as the plane landed. Most landings on commercial aircraft feel so smooth that you don't realize how much the control surfaces have to work during landing.

    Also, anyone have any idea if this landing was an autopilot, or if the Captain was actually flying the plane, with one hand on the flight yoke?
