AIRBUS A350-1000 Awesome View Approach & Landing in Paris
In the cockpit of the Air Caraibes Airbus A350-1000 for a flight from the Caribbean to Paris Orly Airport. Here you see the approach and landing at Paris from a GoPro camera (www.youtube.com) Más...The pilot could start working in Hollywood right away as a voice over for French speaking characters. :)
Captain comments on strong wind from the north but lands on runway 25.
Nice! Hand flown??
What happened to English usage for aviation .... ahhhh, the French, opening the door to screw ups .....

I have listened to ATC departure and arrival comms in several European countries and it is quite normal to hear the native language being used for basic greetings and some flight instructions, albeit with English being the dominant use. It would be interesting to see the empirical data on air prox events, to see if any relations can be drawn to the use of non-standard aviation language!
Correct. I can tell you from experience, it REALLY affects a pilot's situational awareness when you can't understand what other pilots/controllers are saying to each other. It's most noticeable in the terminal area.
Good point, never really considered that. Always good to hear from the proverbial 'Horse's mouth' on these issues!
My concern, being sort of bi-lingual, is that when one is “in the zone” or under stress, and is thinking in one language, that having the second one tossed in can be de-railing ... if not in the brain, then the mouth .....
