  • when you take off from Atlanta, what are the things that you need to bear in mind, particularly Mawr than any other airport?

  • Well, Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world, and as a result, the radio traffic is daunting.

  • The radio calls or just constant.

  • So you have to listen very carefully.

  • And you have to be very careful when you taxi to ensure that you're on the correct taxiway and that you don't incur on a runway or do something else and taxi to the wrong place.

  • As you're getting ready for takeoff, I think we're ready.

  • Help!

  • 767 Heavy Atlanta power.

  • The current winds are calm.

  • Cleared for takeoff.

  • Runway 27 Right.

  • Ready?

  • Let's go.

  • All right, 80 knots throttle.

  • Whole thrust normal in one Europe, the airport is a two o'clock.

  • What would I be seeing normally in terms of other aircraft movement?

  • At the moment you would see a field of aircraft.

  • You would see aircraft in front of you.

  • You would see aircraft over here on the north complex.

  • You would see aircraft taking off the far end, and you would see guys turning onto the south runway.

  • Can it be quite intimidating to see all of that, while at the same time I'm trying to concentrate on that one runway that I'm going into.

  • Absolutely.

  • It's the pilot's responsibility, of course, to keep from hitting anyone.

  • So air traffic control on the pilots are both working together.

  • So you have to monitor all these targets and ensure that nobody incurs into your airspace and causes a threat up to 767 heavy Atlanta tower.

  • The current winds are calm.

  • Your clear the land.

  • Normally, you would have an aircraft at this point on short final.

  • So it's another aircraft in front of us.

  • That's correct.

  • And what you're watching is he needs to clear this runway before we touch down.

  • And the tower and air traffic control has made that happen by assigning us air speeds and the pilot using his good judgment because we can't be on the runway at the same time.

  • He is for obvious reasons, you could see your red over white meeting your on the proper glide path, and our instrumentation here confirms that we're properly configured and we should be touching down shortly.

  • You try to touch down in the 1st 3rd or 3000 ft of the runway.

  • I'm gonna click off your autopilot, so you're gonna be flying, but the auto throttles will still be engaged.

  • Okay, up a little bit.

  • Nose up.

  • There you go.

  • Small corrections, but very quick.

  • Corrections.

  • Looking good.

  • Your red.

  • Over white.

  • 100.

  • Okay, Looking good.

  • Slightly to the right.

  • Pull, Pull, Pull!

  • Pull!

  • Boom!

  • Alright, Brakes, brakes.

  • You're on the concrete.

  • You've been successful.

  • Well done.

  • You did it.

  • Now your passengers would complain.

  • They always will.

  • Go.

  • Right.

  • Have you again?

  • First time you landed or at Atlanta.

  • Do you remember it?

  • Yes, I do.

  • What was it like?

  • It was really busy.

  • I was a young co pilot and I was probably sweating a gallon of water Way landed the aircraft on, then immediately is the co pilot.

  • You have to go into your after landing checklist.

  • You have to be talking on the radio.

  • So there was no time to savor the experience.

  • There's nothing quite like Atlanta.

  • No, not at all.

  • Definitely the world's busiest airport.
