Now Playing: Vatsim Cross the Pond 2009 March Westbound - KLM657 Directors Cut
-
Description:
Due to never quite loving every detail of the original version of
this video, I always wanted to do a directors Cut as such.
Unfortunatley every such attempt that I did always ended up at
around 11 minutes 45 seconds long. Finally on this day, 16th of
August 2009, I was inspired by a thread on Vatsim to go ahead and do
my remake. This is that thread... This remake is using only the
footage taken in March 2009, however there is some footage that was
unseen in the previous reincarnations of this video, particularly on
the New World side of the pond. I finally feel that this version is
what I actually wanted in the first place, If Youtube would allow me
an extra 40 seconds I would even have a proper musical ending and
cockpit rollout and runway vacation. However we have to cut short at
10 minutes and 59.9 seconds. The intent of this video was to make a
more polished production of the previous video, a video which holds
more detail and logical progression in the flow of things, and is
more visually consistent. (with less wandering off the sides of the
screen while trying to deal with ATC, fly the plane and film at 3am
local time in my morning lol). The result is that I have split the
audio of ATC from the visuals and have thus been able to have the
audio of my Oceanic Clearance, and a position report without having
to deal with the dodgy footage and bad camera work. This has opened
better opportunities for editing freedom, allowing me to create
something that is pleasing to myself even moreso than the original
from March 2009. Anyway, I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy
this, the Directors Cut of the trip of KLM657 during Vatsims Cross
the Pond Westbound 2009 flyin. Vatsims Cross the Pond occured on
Saturday the 14th of March, 2009. Despite an ongoing DDOS attack on
a few of our servers, up to 1000 virtual pilots and virtual
controllers logged on to Vatsim for the flight across the Atlantic
Ocean. Departing Amsterdam, Munich or Zurich, pilots flew via
pre-planned NAT tracks in booked slots, much like the real world, to
fly to Toronto or Newark, spread over all 4 NAT tracks.
My flight
was KLM657, an MD-11 (PMDG MD-11) flying from Amsterdam to Newark,
an 8 hour flight. we got off to a bad start when we missed our
takeoff slot and had to be assigned a new NAT slot, which put us
back about 15 minutes and with a change of track. Instead of
tracking via NAT A, we were now on NAT C. FMS Route had to be
changed airborne and as such it was a very busy departure. In the
Oceanic airspace, we were outside Radar Coverage, so gave position
reports like the real aircraft do. SELCALs were used and so on. My
(final after changes) flightplan was as follows
N478F340 BERGI
UL602 GOW UN580 TIR UN572 GOMUP/M080F360 59N20W 60N30W 60N40W 59N50W
PRAWN COVAN/M083F380 HANAA ALB SHAFF6
EET/EGTT0021 EGPX0104
EGGX0245 CZQX0420 CZUL0545 KZBW0703 KZNY0734 REG/PHKCE SEL/AFLS
OPR/KLM PER/D NAV/RNP10 GPSRNAV RMK/TCAS EQUIPPED
An Offset for
SLOPS procedures was a 1 Nautical Mile to the Right offset between
GOMUP and PRAWN
For an extra bit of Cool, take a listen to this
recording of Newark Airfields real life ATIS.
