Very nice!Great job bye the copilot and captain!I liked!
Sorry JP but i might miss the premiere sorry :[
love the channel as always
More Fiona to this chanel! She is awsome!
₩£&€%$@
Fiona is fantastic, no nonsense, clear, concise, confident. Great crew.
Well said Luke👍
Dunno about anybody else but the slight swaying, those dark clouds along with the sunlight poking through looked pretty damned intimidating. Confidently handled. Bravo!
@@TH33QUALIZ3R Pretty normal Dublin weather ;)
@@TH33QUALIZ3R/; You did a nice try trying to kill Hitler ;)
Agree!!! Flew with Fiona when she was DC based. Such a lovely soul...miss her
i have to also mention the male captain on this flight his voice is so relaxing you couldn't put a foot wrong congratulations to him as well.
His kids can only handle 1 page of bedtime stories & they are out! 😉
We actually dont give a shit that he is a male...
Everyone is praising Fiona for having a vagina and doing the the job she was paid for. This captain is one of her Check Captains and trainers. He deserves the credit.
These guys are amazing. So professional. To have all those lives in their hands - relying on them to carry them home safely......time after time, after time, after time. Always in awe - partly because they are so cool and (in my eyes) brilliantly intelligent! They'd say otherwise, but I wouldn't believe them. They make something highly technical, intense and precise, seem effortless. That's skill made manifest.
So well done, they have to manage so much, including Dublin's awful winds in January. But they do it without fuss, on such a huge bird.
What else they would be? Pilots are always professionals, if they fly commercial flights. There is no room for amateurs.
Just take it as a compliment to them rather than something to criticize. @@torstikorja5484
I've taken this flight several times on my way home to visit family and this level of competence (I'm not a pilot) makes me very proud to be from Ireland. Awesome !!
This First Officer is just GREAT. She is very confident of what she does. The Captain have a HIGH level of confidence in her. Keep flying Fiona. Next touch down is Captain.
Crushin' on her!
Both pilots were captains. It is not uncommon on Aer Lingus who have many long serving staff who they look after and retain. They also have the highest percentage of female flight crew of all major airlines. This flight was just like any other, with consistent high standards and a relaxed efficient flight deck Few people realise that Aer Lingus have not had a crash or person injured during flight in more than 50 years. As you can imagine, they are welcomed by ATC all over the world. Their safety record is even more surprising, due to the constant bad weather blowing across Ireland from the Atlantic. Their have been a few occasions where transatlantic flights have had to touchdown and hold in London while the weather clears, but since the changeover to airbus they are almost a thing of he past. Shannon is quite well protected from severe cross winds, so flights are frequently diverted from Dublin and particularly Cork, both of which are near the coast. Needless to say, passengers do not appreciate the 3 hour coach ride after a long flight.
She has three on the shoulder. Wouldn't that make her an FO?
@@wilsjane Fiona was a First Officer at the time of this flight. But there was a third pilot - another Captain - sitting outside of view.
@@wilsjane “They also have the highest percentage of female flight crew of all major airlines”. What do their genitalia have to do with anything?
An outstanding extremely challenging crosswind landing by Fiona. Bravo Zulu.
I flew with Fiona one day on the Aer Lingus A320 going to Paris, she was the captain. The weather was bad is Paris. She flies the plane with Grace. Amazing crew and she is a great model for me daughter.
Who's Grace? Does she fly too
@@birdman4274 Shirley, you can't be serious.
@@lulubellers Yes I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley
i didn't kno fiona was a captain
@@birdman4274 Classic! Just classic!
Fiona was absolutely beautiful on that approach.👍
I can't even imagine after almost 9 hours of working my brain, the biggest challenge actually lies ahead - landing everyone safely in strong crosswinds with a wet runway. Amazing! These pilots deserve million dollar salaries.
Don't forget all the people behind the scenes either. It's a complex system from the people who pick up the bits and find out what happened, to engineers who create these amazing aircraft, to pilots who fly them, atc who route the lot of them and a myriad of other related roles.
@@duckgoesmooo i agree but there is a big difference between a baggage handler and someone that flys these maginicant mechines
@@burthectorcummings6732 While I agree, baggage handlers and in particular the ramp and cargo crews still have a fair amount of things that they absolutely have to get right or it could endanger the aircraft, themselves or their colleagues. Especially in the bigger airports. It’s the kind of environment where one bad mistake can end you.
It's 11 hours to SFO from DUB.
@@burthectorcummings6732 I bet you'd last 5 minutes trying to be a baggage handler
Great advert for Aer Lingus! Professional cockpit crew, excellent planning skills. No doubt F/O Fiona is now Captain Fiona.
Pilots have my full respect!
This first officer is talking with such confidence and authority, she’s giving me captain vibes
Because she is.
shes giving u love vibes 😍😂
@@TopGun5 she’s the first officer
@@ericgu9036 she's a captain now 👍
@@WeeDaveBhoy No kidding...congrats to Fiona
Aced that approach and landing, lots of chop on the glide . Professionals at work.
Light chop
LOL, "lots of chop on the glide", dude you work in a fucking bowling alley
And you sit at the back of the short yellow bus Marks.
Yep have to just put it down especially with a 35 knot crosswind
I can listen to the Irish all day long. Beautiful country - and they have Jamesons Whiskey too !
So true, great language!
Don’t forget the marvellous Kilkenny creamy ale!
It is amazing isn't it!
I love watching Fiona. Clear, concise, no nonsense F.O. Exceptional landing 🛬
Fascinating video. You wouldn’t even know there was a crosswind. Great to see an Irish crew featured. Well done Fiona. You were so cool. I have the greatest admiration for the people who fly these giant machines.
Fiona is amazing. I have great admiration for her, especially that I am a coward when it comes to flying....lol. The pilot has an amazingly soothing radio voice. 👍🏾
I am very impressed with Fiona. If I were flying to Dublin and she and the captain were our pilots I would feel very confident for a very safe flight. I hope all of their flights are smooth and safe. Fiona shows everyone just how professional she is. What was once a man's world is routinely being transformed into all who are capable and professional. I will say while all goes well most of the time, it is those times when things don't that really proves who is really good. I hope for Fiona she doesn't have anything too difficult to deal with. Flying will always be something the world will do and as time goes on, it will become more proficient and safer. Great landing Fiona you did a splendid job as always.
I enjoyed watching these two professionals leaving from SF, finally landing in Dublin. I was particularly surprised at now much input was required on landing. Thanks for sharing.
I used to park near the runway approach watching the planes come in at KPHL, and when there's a crosswind they come in side ways just before they touch down. Its pretty impressive to see from the ground. Takes alot of skill.
I could watch and listen to her alllll day!!!
Always special on a return flight to Ireland to see the Emerald in all its glory!
I have noticed that here and in other videos that on landing, both pilots have hands on controls, regardless of who the pilot flying is. If the pilot flying gets in trouble, the other pilot can immediately assume control. Fiona made an excellent maximum crosswind landing. I noticed that immediately on touchdown, the crosswind tried to push the nose of the plane to the left, but Fion corrected with right rudder. She's going to make a great captain. I would like to see more young women get into commercial aviation. The crew was extremely professional and worked well together. Their cockpit discipline once they began their approach was spot on and they maintained that discipline until they got to the gate. No nonsense or unnecessary chatter. You can still get in trouble on the ground! The landing is not completed until the parking brake is set at the gate.
Wow! Could watch this crew for endless hours! Every flight! I live on SF Peninsula and am fortunate to see most aircraft making base turn at Moffett airspace limit. Hard to miss your approach in your Airbus. Huge! Thanks Fiona.
Very cool, calm, professionals at work earning well deserved salaries, thanks for providing safe service to those customers, and companies that place 100% confidence and trust in you for all those lives! Well Done!
Confident, Assertive, Classy.....everything a first officer should be and then some..... Nicely done!
Ya she's really great and a lovely person too, what's not to like :)
Fiona's brains, beauty and professionalism are a joy to appreciate. Wonderful combination, though I appreciate Fiona, will also be modest when it comes to compliments!
Beautiful, courteous, courageous and very confidence in what she is doing. Thumbs up!
Exactly her eyes are gorgeous and her face just glows just looking at her picture made us click on the video what a sweetheart👏❤️
god you're gay.
@@sambell385 LOL wtf
@@paddymcdoogle6753 WTF is up with you! you sure found a whole Lotta negative in just a simple statement i made, people make statements /comments every day ,it’s all in a positive light/fun lighten up quit being a hater😁
@@sambell385 LOL wtf
Through your videos you have almost made me half pilot! Very informative videos, almost a cockpit experience! God bless Fiona.
I'm an admirer of our winsome Fiona already. Smart, confident and focused lady.
I really like the panning view showing both the stick and the plane reaction to the impulse. This was great to understand the input from the First Officer.
2 Captains & 1 First Officer (+ the camera operator) in the cockpit, but the Flight Commander delegates the tricky approach and landing to the junior pilot: that shows confidence in her abilities!
She's not a captain though lol
You missed the joke even with your username
@@airwipe1639 It doesn't even seem like a joke, and even if it is then you younger kids must have a different sense of humor. And my name doesn't really have anything to do with it, if I named myself "surgeon" would I then know everything about surgery? Nope.
The 2nd Captain is just for relief so that some of the flight crew are getting rest
Love Aer Lingus, always great service, great crew, makes you feel relaxed and confident in your safety. Lucky to have you next door at BDL.
I agree - flew them in coach from JFK - SNN a few years ago. Great crew , nice clean planes , plenty of beer & food @ that time
You guys are absolutely incredible, thanks for keeping us safe
Well done Fiona ✈️🛬😃👌
For me, Fiona has a lovely energy about her. She has the go and get it attitude that is needed to achieve all that she has accomplished and will continue to do! The woman is amazing!
The F/O displayed very good skills and calm demeanor. Allowing the F/O to land the aircraft in this kind of wind conditions shows the Captain’s confidence in her ability to perform it and how confident the Captain himself to make this judgement being always ready to support his F/O and if necessary, take controls if needed. Well done everyone. Cheers. A320 Captain.
Wow captain thanks for that comment
@ My pleasure 🙂
What crosswind? There wasn't any.
@@user-zm1ft3ob7t read my comment again plz. I didn't mention any crosswind! I said "wind conditions" gusty conditions as the pilot brief prior to approach. She even briefed for "windshear recovery" in case windshear happens!!! Good morning to you!
This was pre set. Probly for use in a future promotion.
What a great flight crew twosome. We can notice much sinergy between them and quite much team work. Congratulations! The pilot also seems to be very kind and friendly. Thumbs up to AerLingus!
Smooth as silk landing in those conditions...terrific piloting by Fiona. She absolutely greased it!
That was excellent piloting skills by FO Fiona (definitely a wee bit bumpy weather) and nice that the captain congratulated her at the stand.
It looks like there is so much play in that stick, seems like she’s making huge inputs. She obviously knows what she’s doing clearly I’m just surprised at all that play. Good stuff, hats off to her.
I was curious too. Hopefully someone will explain.
@@deanb4799 I’m sure it’s design3d that way on purpose. I feel like there’s some built in lag to keep them from making big changes on the control surfaces. I wouldn’t want to slam the rudder over on an aircraft that size. Would be interesting to climb in the simulator and feel it out a bit.
She must have lots of practice with a stick.
She’s making correcting inputs as there was lots of crosswind. The crew knew that there was wind, and risk of wind shear.
The side stick is not directly linked to the control surfaces. The inputs of the stick are fed to the plane's computers which in turn activate the ailerons and the elevator.
Nice work good to see the co-pilot getting a go at tougher landings.
It always feels like a miraclr when that big swaying hunk of metal lands and everyone isn't dead. But I know thats only because I don't have a damn clue what is going on.
Just pot luck really.
They mostly fly themselves. Auto pilot is used for much of the flight.
Something very calming about Fiona. Can we see more videos from her?
Air lingus are blessed to have such a great poilet like Fiona Flaherty working for air lingus a fantastic lady poilet she is a true lady poilet.
No. No you may not
Fiona is great! She's smart, attractive, great accent.. Im moving to Ireland. 👍
You should .I just spent 3 weeks there and I miss it already.
and she is also a great pilot and a consummate professional.
tag me along wl fly down from mumbai just for fiona
She's easy on the eyes too!
@@jaya.0069 very ;)
Fantastic job both! Love it. Fiona has such a beautiful grace about her presence flying. Love the cleat concisely put explanations for what's going on. Detailed but explained well enough for anyone to understand. Thank you Fiona appreciate it. Stay safe fly high
Coming down from the clouds then...., a vision - "The Emerald Isle". It really IS green a beautiful !! This crew is a joy to watch.
What a landing, and the left seat knew she was doing the business!
Always nice flying with Aer Lingus
I love watching Fiona She's such a pro!
I've always been fascinated with airplanes, I "discovered" Fiona on another cockpit takeoff video today. There is something very calming about her expertise and professionalism. I'm mesmerized. And, respectfully, it doesn't hurt that she is very kind on the eyes! She has a soothing presence. :)
Had to comment even though this video has been out awhile. Well done Fiona! Its so awesome that you guys share these videos with us mere mortals that might have at least the opportunity to fly some general aviation! Its inspiring and frankly has us all feeling like we were right there in the cockpit with you. Makes me feel confident flying Air Lingus ! :) !
WOW, a display of the highest quality of professional skills under very difficult circumstances. To say job well done, is an understatement.
And I thought playing principal oboe in a symphony orchestra was stressful. I shall never complain again. Thank you for showing what real work is! Bravo!!!!
This never gets old! The confidence and skill of these pilots is a amazing. Professionalism epitomized...thank you!
Fantastic. Being allowed into the cockpit for this is awesome.
Huge respect for Fiona and the entire flight crew. The skill exhibited here is amazing.
Tough conditions and one hell of a landing. Superb job.
This is awesome to watch and experience even through the lens of a camera. I've always admired and respected pilots, ever since experiencing my first flight in childhood and being allowed to be taken up into the cockpit. Fiona, is amazing, composed, professional, focussed, it's very reassuring to see. Hope we get to see more of her in future videos. Also, Dublin looks absolutely beautiful and pretty :-)
Watching this, makes me think that there is no such thing as automatic pilot. I am in absolute admiration for your professionalism, knowledge and composure in taking care of your passengers. Cheers.
I think Fiona was the pilot on my recent flight from Shannon to JFK. (She sure looks like the pilot who deplaned with us.) She took 90 mins off our scheduled time by riding a tailwind WESTBOUND across the Atlantic. How is that even possible? A great flight!
Fantastic views of the controls and reactions under challenging conditions. Wow, Fiona looked at home and fully confident. What a great crew! Amazing to watch :)
She did brilliantly. What a star.
I wish to God I could get an Irish passport, unfortunately my grandma was only half irish. A fantastic crew . Fiona is absolutely amazing the video is aswell, I could watch this all day ,she's gorgeous intelligent and confident amazing woman. Love from England and god bless the irish.
Oh my gosh😳😱🥶this was so amazing to watch..like I was actually there. I hate to be in a plane, This woman is so amazing, just to see her focus and manipulate the controls was amazing to see.
Nice landing on such a lovely Irish day!
INTELLIGENT FIONA.........oh to have her intelligence...I'm so proud of her....I used to be scared of flying. But thanks to Fiona..I am okay now!
Thanks, I have travelled from Australia to the US several times. Even charmed some stewardess. I have never seen what you guys are now showing us. Bravo.
After seeing these vids,Next flight over the pond I’m going Aer Lingus,
I want to join Club Fiona. She rocks! Thank u for being a GREAT role model for young women who want to go onto aviation!
Yes, she really is a cut above.
Fiona is such an inspiring and motivating person. Love watching her explain everything. Very professional, calm, precise, confident and measured. Wish her well for the future and hope she gets made a captain very soon!
Inspire yourself, be your own role model. All humans can be whatever u want.... it's in ur heart & head.
I love this crew. Professional, friendly, and pleasant for listening and learning.
As someone who doesn't like to fly, when I watch this crew, I feel like, maybe it's fine. They are so reassuring and professional. And Fiona is so calm, when they were taking off from San Francisco to Ireland, during their climb, she looks out the window and comments on how pretty the city is. Sort of like Joe Montana during a drive in the SuperBowl back in the 80s saying in the huddle, "Isn't that John Candy sitting over there?" LOL Like, she's so cool, nothing rattles her. I just love that!
And this is why I fly aer Lingus even if it costs more I’ll still pay the extra , top class flight crew but don’t forget the cabin crew on aer Lingus they are superb as well, ps that’s a normal day in Ireland
Love her letting out a big breath at 8:55 in the reflection on the laptop.😀
It is so nice to know that we are all in capable hands. This cockpit viewing is spectacular. What a fantastic group of professionals. Thank you for shoveling us around the world.
I think I’m in love with Fiona. 😍 Anybody nervous about flying should watch these videos, they really provide great reassurance that you are in extremely capable and professional hands, the crew know exactly what they are doing.
Perfect landing in difficult wind conditions. Congrats !
Well done miss, excellent landing and no go around. Perfect. Greetings from Cumbria in the UK. Stay safe and well everyone.
Traveling to Ireland is definitely on my bucket list and I want that First Officer piloting my flight. Definitely Captain material. Major props to the Captain on this flight as well. So positive and quick to acknowledge a job well done.
Awesome to watch a professional flight crew work together!
This was an amazing view. I would say, "Rare!" Loved the video and the content. Thank you!
Fiona, you are a bad ass pilot that’s for sure! I’d feel so comfortable knowing you were flying the plane. My cousin was a pilot for 20+ years with Virgin Atlantic. Unfortunately he had to take early retirement because he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He was crushed. Love these videos!
This video (and the takeoff) is exactly why I will fly Aer Lingus on all future flights to Dublin. I wish we could request flight crews! I'd absolutely want this Captain and Fiona. Such exacting and precise professionalism and confidence.
A330 series definitely one of the best aircraft in the skies ✈️👍💯
One of the great things ive seen lately. Bravo, mucho appreciatory valve wide open buds. Holy suffering.
What a great landing, and under those circumstances! I am so impressed.
It is a pleasure to see professionally produced videos like this. Back when I was a controller and we could ride up front on the jumpseat (pre 9-11) the pilots let me make a video of their landing in Oakland, CA. Me with my camcorder, and just with the normal turbulence it was all I could do to keep the plane's viewscreen somewhere in the picture. Here they have a nasty crosswind, and yet the video is perfect.
Fiona is a great pupil and the teacher is brilliant and calm! This how proffessional Air Lingus are ! Well done to you both on great flight at the hands of 3 top class individuals
I stand proudly in a long line of admirers...WTG Fiona and crew
See her exhale with relief at 8.52, very well done
Great crew teamwork. When I saw the pilot with his portable desk, only then did I realize the copilot was doing all the fun work for the landing. Pleasant video, thanks.
Thank you for this video. I've flown many times but have always wondered what goes on in the front with the pilots, truly professionals.
Incredibly beautiful. The landing too.
Beautiful landing. My compliments to the pilot on her calm professionalism.
Outstanding performance...a woman´s touch...
Fantastic watching these professionals work!
Fiona is my Fave!! Wish there was more vids of her and Captain Owen. ☘️Go Irish☘️
Thank you been waiting for ages for a dublin landing never knew rnwy 16 could handle the a330
Well done Fiona. Captain soon! ☘️
Superb landing
