HIGHLIGHTS

This program starts off with a video presentation of an A380 landing at Kuala Lumpur and later parking at the gate. While the aircraft is at the gate, we join the First Officer as he completes his thorough walkaround inspection of the aircraft which truly shows just how massive this aircraft really is. Once the walkaround is completed, we bid the crew farewell as we await our new flight crew taking us from Kuala Lumpur to London. While at the gate, viewers will be able to see firsthand all that is involved with preparing an aircraft of this size for a 13 hours flight. After all the necessary check and briefings are complete, our A380 has an uneventful departure that includes many interesting camera views for all to enjoy. During our flight to London, the Captain discusses many aspects of the A380 with the viewers and also presents a brief tour of the cockpit and systems of the aircraft. Other discussions in the flight deck included the Career history of our pilots and an explanation of various departure and arrival charts. For those of you who are familiar with Just Planes videos, you will know that the presentations may also include the activities within the Cabin. The A380’s cabin is quite massive and it takes a large team of flight attendants to ensure the comfort and safety of the passengers. In this brief cabin presentation we meet some of the friendly flight crew as they prepare and serve appetizing meals to the passengers. If you’ve never flown on Malaysian Airlines, this presentation gives you the perfect opportunity to see high standard of service you can expect.

While our landing and departure at London were mostly uneventful, the most significant highlights of the final segments of this program were mostly visual. Both during our flight to London and on our return flight to Kuala Lumpur, viewers will have the opportunity to see many beautiful and intriguing views from the cockpit of various cities, airports, terrain and other aircraft as they fly by. With up to 7 Camera mounted in the cockpit, Just Planes has captured numerous perspectives that results in a program that all can enjoy.

If you are a fan of the A380, this program gives you the best perspective of what it’s like to fly this massive aircraft. Not only do you see the pilots in action, but you also learn more about the technical aspects of this aircraft and what makes it very different to a Boeing aircraft. For those who are mostly interested in Malaysia Airlines, this program perfectly captures the professionalism of their pilots and cabin crew. Recently it was announced that the A380s at Malaysian may not be around much longer but with this video you can enjoy the operation of this aircraft with this airline for years to come. – Highly Recommended.
