A380 first landing at SFO
I may have sent this before, but just in case. Shows what the Korean pilots were not seeing before they pranged.
You can see when the captain disengages the auto throttles. (The Koreans apparently never fully engaged theirs)

Landing an airliner at SFO. NOTICE HOW HIGH ABOVE THE ROCK JETTY HE IS COMPARED TO THE ONE THAT CRASHED ON RWY 28L!!
A380 first landing at SFO
This is pretty interesting to watch.
The pilots sit away from everything, no yoke, etc. Captain pulls up a keyboard once in a while to enter info but the plane does most of the work.....
The humongous A380 makes its first landing at San Francisco airport. It seems extensively automated. The air traffic controller gives them heading, altitude and speed, and they dial it in. Pretty interesting.
For best results go "full screen" on your monitor. It will seem like you are in the cockpit.
