This airline video is a fairly serious "how these two flights, approaches and landings to Rome and Paris were accomplished." "Serious" means that there is a lot of information that even serious modelers will fail to understand and maybe find a bit boring". Still, there are also good segments that will be readily understandable to aviation minded modelers like the preflight, approaches, landings, taxiing and crew bus transportation to downtown Paris.
The enroute video segments are mostly instrument panel and charts. The flight videos were taken with the camera mounted on the glare shield looking straight ahead out of the captain's windshield.
The first 4:30 show the preflight in Frankfort. My favorite airplanes were always ones that I could walk under without stooping. The rest of the Rome segment follows something like this. 7:30 begins the approach to Rome. At 10:30 the runway is in sight followed by the landing in Rome and 11:20 taxi to the gate.
The next video segment begins 13:40 and is mostly in the instrument panel and radar showing the West coast of Italy as we pass abeam Rome Northbound. At about 20:00 we begin the approach to Paris Charles de Gaulle. At 50:50 the runway is in sight followed by landing and taxi to the gate. The final segment is the crew bus transportation to the Meridian Hotel in downtown Paris. From our hotel it was only about a 10 minute walk up the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe.
People seem to like this video. It was shot twenty five years ago in International airspace in an internationally registered aircraft. At the time, I thought that this video might be of use to the training department.
