shushanna no no this is my first time

comfortable way to go to Ireland the

London to Ireland's like this you're

[Music]
one down one to go okay thanks for
flying me here absolutely pleasure this
is a short bit hi good morning my name
is Andre Claire I'm one of the captains
on the Airbus a318 London City to New
York reads a capital order asks you how
long is the runway at London City London
cities a short runway and it's a narrow
almost 1500 meters approximately long
and only 30 meters wide is that the
reason we cannot do a non-stop to New
York we have to make a tack stop at
Shannon correct so the aircraft can't
take the full weights and the fourth
wheel
off the runway at London City and meet
the client gradients so the the
compromises to come to Shannon and then
refuel and the fastest and cleared u.s.
immigration brilliance that's a really
good strategy
how long did Sarah plane can fly because
we only have thirty two business
plastics Jim it's it's fairly light so
what's the range you have this
configuration well when it's fully
fueled up the configuration is to New
York and beyond so it's probably an
eighteen our power nine hour endurance
my name is Jeremy I'm the first officer
we've just finished a flight from London
to Shannon we're going to get off now
and hand over to another flight crew the
reason being is it's quite close to our
our limits if we carry on Smeagol so to
protect the operation we do a crew
change and we'll come back tomorrow and
we'll take the next service
[Music]
oh nice the food going guys - you again
- well for you who turned out absolutely
slick and this is gonna save you hours
at the other end I knew this is great
pants has really really good really
pleased that you found it very easy
we wish more people would come and try
it because obviously it is so sleek so
professionals almost like the greatest
secret of the share is though idly great
it was a really short transit we were
off board at around 11:30 now at 12
o'clock ready to go as the captain said
it feels really intimate you know the
crew already you're coming on board game
and you know where you're sitting
everything is familiar so it's a great
experience there's also a very funny US
immigration officer yet you know me
from YouTube and he say I knew this guy
of course I'm high but a film at the
u.s. immigration and not able to have
him on the camera but you know who you
are and thank you so much for watching
