Air Canada B777-200LR Polar Route (BLU RAY) [Blu-ray]

I have always enjoyed the Just Planes videos, and with the addition of high definition and Blu-Ray, they have gone to another level.These are not scenery videos. We start with a lengthy explanation from the dispatcher, get the full treatment with the crew pre-flight, and fly two very long trips from Canada to Hong Kong, including take off, various activities in the cockpit en route, cabin activities with the flight attendants, and landing.We have multiple cameras in the cockpit which is a new feature for the Blu-Ray discs, plus more video of the aircraft on the ground than we often get in this series. Quality of the video itself is amazing, scenery is awesome, crew explanations are great, and you get to see things a normal person would not.A must buy for anyone who enjoys flight in the cockpit videos. There are nothing like these Blu-Rays.The only caveat and my only wish for the future is that Just Planes stops trying to make it a literal movie. With the in the cockpit video and the out the window camera, and the length available in the Blu-Ray format, they should give us a chapters which are: window camera from push back to cruise, cockpit camera from window to cruise, window camera from top of descent to landing, and cockpit camera from TOD to landing. That would have made it perfect, instead of constantly switching from view to view. If you really want to concentrate on the cockpit activity, or really want to concentrate on the outside view, you are always a little frustrated.

The various Just Planes cockpit videos are superior products and the ones featuring Air Canada flights may be the best of all. Since these pilots usually speak native English their explanations and comments are much more easier to understand than those of the many foreign airlines the pilots of which are not native English speakers. And in this particular production the Polar flights are especially interesting as in addition to the North Pole they overfly Russia, Mongolia and China. And the length of these flights provides ample opportunity to detail the special features of the B777LR and the special characteristics of overflying the North Pole. This is a fascinating exercise.

Beautiful scenes and interesting cockpit communications. The B777-200LR is the longest range airplane today. And be able to fly the Polar Route will save fuel over the normal route.

The best blu ray I've ever watch, the 777 is an amazing and beautyful beast, thank you just planes, this one is a recommended.

Great and Enjoyable...must watch for all aviation enthusiasts!

I own most of if not all of their DVD's. This one is one of my favorites. Great flight crews as usual. If your an aviation enthusiastic or a private pilot like myself you will love this.

First I must apologise to "JustPlanesUK". I think my finger slipped & I rated them at 3 stars when I meant 5.This was my second order from them & I cannot rate them highly enough (extremely quick delivery).As for the actual Blu Ray disc, the quality is superb & the content about the best that I have seen in the World Airroutes Cockpit series. There is more technical coverage in this title but not too much (ITVV). I think that the balance is about right so as to appeal to a wider audience (Not just the anoraks link me)

Really interesting production that goes into incredible detail of flight planning plus cockpit briefings. Also some great cabin crew shots and crew rest area. Top presenter comes across as a very good officer.

Great to have polar flying explained in such detail. What a career the chief pilot has had. I guess perseverance is the key to success in the industry.

Really liked this Air Canada Polar Blu Ray. For me, it was a little too heavy on technical detail, but interesting nonetheless. I would have liked a little more on the service of all classes. Will definitely buy another soon.

I did enjoy this Dvd, but I found that the was WAY too much time spent on the scheduling side of things at the very start. I was expecting multiple camera angles during all phases of flight, but this was very limited. Some of the camera work looked really clumsy. A bit disappointing.
