Ameristar Learjet 24, Falcon 20, 737-200 Cockpit Video (DVD)
Ameristar B737-200 ... Falcon 20 ... Learjet 24
Ameristar's fleet is mostly composed of Falcon and Learjet aircraft used for
on demand flights all over the US and around the world. In addition the airline
operates some larger Boeing 737s and Douglas DC9s. This program is the
first presentation of the Falcon 20 and Learjet 24 and includes an external
walkaround of the aircraft, a cockpit presentation as well as several flights in
the cockpit. The dvd also includes a flight on the 737.
Tony French - PILOT MAGAZINE (November 2005) Review
Here's a different DVD in this long-running series of jump-seat rides
and walkrounds. We are taken inside a bustling U.S. on-demand charter company.
They never know from day to day whether they'll be flying car spares, a major
part of the business, horses, human organs or complete people. Most of their
flights are complete within six hours of the customer's initial phone call
.Their dispatchers are FAA licensed to handle every aspect of a flight. One
dispatcher at the company 's Addison, Texas, HQ explains the complex colourcoded
planning board showing crew (and their ratings), planes (and their status), all
masterminded from a white board and magnetic labels! We are taken on a
walkaround of a Learjet 24, Falcon 20 and Boeing 737. Then we get a briefing on
the cockpits. The twelve flights we take in the jump seat visit Addison,
Detroit, Pellston, St Louis, Denison, Sparta, Fulton, Toledo, Cleveland and
Grand Rapids. The company operates over most of the Americas and in parts of
Europe. Everyone is totally professional, fast- talking and is at pains to
explain their work and the aircraft to viewers, instructing the camera to close
in on a static drain for instance during a walkaround. Once in flight, ATC sound
is sometimes drowned by cockpit noise, hey, this is realistic folks, but all you
've ever heard about rapid U.S. ATC will be confirmed. The close-ups of
instruments are sharp, and I can clearly read on an approach plate being shown
in the movie playing on another part of my computer screen as I type this...
wow, that column is really being shifted around on the glideslope down into
Grand Rapids. If you think flying is open-cockpits, green fields and summer
evenings, this may not suit you, but this is real too, money-making flying as it
happens second-to-second across the pond.
