360° Airline Pilot's View | Miami - Bahamas | American Eagle E-175

STUDENT PILOTS + FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS... This is your chance to experience the workflow that pilots face when running checklists, navigating through stormy weather, departing from busy airspace, and landing at a non-towered airport.
Flying into the North Eleuthera Island Airport (MYEH) in the Bahamas looks a lot different than pretty much every airport back in the USA. We operate fully VFR in/out of MYEH, since there's no air traffic control or radar coverage. Plus, its single runway is only 6,000 feet long with no visual approach guidance from a PAPI or VASI. It's the perfect spot to refine your visual and hand-flying skills. The terminal has just one room, an outdoor boarding lounge, and no jetbridges. Being one of the most stunning Caribbean Islands, North Eleuthera is also very busy. You have to pay close attention to the uncontrolled CTAF (airport traffic) frequency to keep tabs on the location of multiple general aviation, airline, and charter flights into the airport.
This flight was filmed under Part 91 with permission from Envoy Air, Inc. during a zero-passenger check flight to the North Eleuthera Airport.

I want you to experience first-hand what it's like to be a pilot. I've worked for years to get approval for 360-degree cockpit views, and I'm so proud that you finally have incredible behind-the-scenes access to the flight deck. What plane do you want to ride in the jumpseat on next?

As someone who is terrified of flying this definitely eases my fears a bit AND makes me appreciate pilots so much more! Thank you for sharing this!
-
This randomly popped up in my notifications and I am literally blown away! As an aviation enthusiast, I loved this. Thank you for making this view accessible to everyone around the world. Sending my best wishes to you!!!
-
Probably the best 360 airplane video I have seen. Most have problems with the cockpit exposure vs the blue sky - where the sky is blown out white with overexposure. You always have clean professional looking entertaining videos.
-
That was so cool...finally got to see what it look's like from take-off to landing... nice view :)
-
They should have something like this to give to new hires in training. To see all major phases of flight. Learn how the callouts will actually be. Prior to the sims. Boring for YouTube but going from dark and cold to flight would be great too.
-
It was so awesome that you got approval to do this 360 video. Thank you, Envoy, for allowing Swayne to do this great video for us that wish we were in those seats. Thank you, Capt Joe and FO Dean for allowing us into your awesome office. Great job Swayne I hope Envoy approvals more of these videos. This video pushes me to start my pilot training.
-
360 was sweet. Nice to be able to watch the crew working together like that. I would fly with them any day.
-
This gotta be the most calmest chillest job ever. flying over the sky and seeing clouds like that without a sound.
-
as someone who is really into aviation now and switching majors to aerospace technology and starting pilot school in a few years, this really gave me an idea of what to expect when i get to where they are. by the way swayne you are my favorite pilot and i wish to fly with you someday. you helped influence my decision to become an airline pilot. ☺️
-
Unbelievable footage and camera work! This 360* camera view adds a completely new dimension to watching these videos! Hope there are more to come. I have never seen this type video and do not know if its a common thing? BUT never the less, thanks so much for the video Swayne! Stay safe out there, Tom in NV.

It didn't bore even for a second Indeed the ocean and the islands' beauty kept our eyes peeled along with the pilots' continuous communication.
-
This is by far the coolest airplane ✈️ video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for doing this Captain 👨✈️ Please be safe up there and we’d love to see more like this. “Keep the blue side up”.

I always say thank you after the flight lands. It takes a special kind of person to stay in control with all of those controls.

This. Is just *awesome*. Whether for potential pilots, nervous fliers, or just those who have curiosity in their hearts. Whole new meaning to "come fly with me."
