Piloting the Fokker 50 from London City | Cockpit Views

Video from the channel Just Planes about Fokker, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 16:27. Language: English. Video type: Onboard.

Footage from the cockpit of a Fokker 50 during a departure from London City Airport. It follows the crew's work from doors closing to the climb: pre-flight checks, start-up of engine number two followed by number one, taxi, runway line-up, take-off and climb.

The pilots read out the checklists before and after start-up and before take-off, and are in constant contact with air traffic control. Runway 27 is referenced, along with the initial level-off at 3,000 feet before receiving further climb clearances.

The video shows the real procedure of a regional turboprop crew at an urban airport.
