World Air Routes Air Malta B737-200

INTRODUCTION

Box cover This video begins with video clips of the Air Malta fleet, which consists of A320s & B737. This video is from the series, which lets you take your seat inside the cockpit with the pilots traveling around the world. The whole point of this series is that it allows viewers to see all the different scenery that pilots all over the world experience all through their rewarding career.

The beginning of your trip begins with the start up of the engines at Malta airport. The conversations between the pilots could be easily heard, also the ATC communications could Air Malta route map be heard. The quality of this isn't really what people would expect from the likes of Just Planes. After all the take offs the camera would turn to the side windows of the cockpit and let the viewers look at the scenery; the problem is that the cameraman allowed the wire of the headset from the captain to get in front of the camera. So instead of viewing the scenery viewers are given the sight of the wire tangling about. Another down is that the cameraman has sometimes zoomed into the runway too much which as a result makes the take off seem slower then what it really is.

There are positive things about this video too, like the video records the taxi trip from the runway to the stand. This really shows why it is so complicated to taxi around in major airports like Manchester. Also because Manchester uses jetways viewers can see the guiding system.

Overall I would recommend this video to people who like to view scenery of certain places but if you like detail and really want to know what certain things in the cockpit mean then go for the Fight in the Cockpit videos which Just Planes has a total of 22. I give this video 75%.
