Air Canada brings you the 1st program on the B777-300ER and also a rare opportunity to go along on a roundtrip over the Pacific Ocean as we fly nonstop from Toronto to Tokyo Narita Airport and back. Our crew goes through all the flight preparations, briefings, checklists and take their time presenting the 777-300 cockpit in detail. They also go over how Trans Pacific routes operate, where suitable diversion airports are located, the flight bag that Air Canada equips its 777 with, the Date Line and much more. As a bonus the program continues with a Trans Atlantic flight from Toronto to Frankfurt. The Air Canada Boeing 777-300ER DVD from Just Planes is one of the newer DVDs in the massive Just Planes World Air Routes series. This program about the largest version of the 777 commercially available takes the viewer on a transpacific nonstop to Tokyo from Air Canadas hub of Toronto. Then on the return with the same flight crew back to Toronto. Then, as a special treat the viewer joins a new crew on a flight to Frankfurt with a large focus on Oceanic Crossing procedures. The start of this DVD leads the viewer in with the departure briefingof Air Canada flight 1, aircraft registration C-FITU. The crew explains everything very clearly and keeps the viewer engaged. Most all of the ATC calls are heard with great quality and it adds a lot to be able to follow along mentally with the controllers instructions. This clarity of ATC is something that viewers have come to expect in the newer WAR DVDs. Once airborne the crew devotes great attention to explaining almost everything on the flight deck but special attention is paid to the Paperless Cockpit setup that makes Air Canadas B77Ws so special. In most traditional cockpits, performance data is calculated via very large and thick books of performance numbers. On the flight deck of Air Canada flight 1 this is not the case. The takeoff and landing performance calculations are done through something called the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB for short). The EFB is really the star of the show here; all of its many functions are explained. The First Officer shows how to do the takeoff performance calculations, including how the airplane calculates how more it should derate its incredibly powerful GE90 engines. This is very cool, to say the least. Also shown is the EFBs ability to call up Jeppesen charts for any destination that Air Canada serves along with enroute and company alternates. The rest of the flight continues while the crew entertains with even more system explanations like the lower EICAS and its many useful functions. The third flight joins a new flight crew going to Frankfurt on Air Canadas flight 872. They give great insight as to how the oceanic procedures go for traveling the North Atlantic. Great focus is given to how easy this has become over time with the invention of CPDLC (Controller Pilots Data Link). This allows them to receive their North Atlantic without actually having to talk to anyone. Also shown is how they can now do position reports without having to use HF communication. HF was very unreliable and hard to understand so the ability to cross the atlantic without using it is something the company is very proud of.
