hello again welcome to our cover. We have just landed in Aqaba, and we are going to do the walk around. As I'm the pilot flying, and it's my responsibility as right seat pilot to do the external walk around, I'm going to show you the Embraer 195, which is the longest version of the Embraer e-jets family. So come with me, follow me please. Usually in the walk arounds, the workaround is the last check that is done before the airplane is dispatched. We check, recheck for a visual inspection, the general inspection for any leaks, damage, their strikes, obstructions. So first of all, we check the landing gear. Now we have to check the air data smart probes. It's really important that they are not obstructed or not really important the 103 Muslim sensors on. They have to be free of any dockets, you know that particularly shoppers, what happened with a rope, a roof like 6:03 in 1996 antennas that they are in good condition from the other side.

check the engine inlets the Sunday that is it's not damaged free to rotate any leaks inside and no foreign objects inside the recondition specially the forward leading edge of the wing which it's really sensitive to any roughness. [Music] landing gear he let me give me the check for the general condition of the tires no flat spots. We check the brake weapon indicators they are no less lush than the ducking thousand assembiy. If they are less than much it means that the brakes are worn out and they need replacement fiction. We check the same thing for the left-hander here. Sometimes a stinky smell from the engine means that the engine has ingested verbs. So now the Seminole checkers have been completed and it's time to go back home god man. Okay now so that we have just checked the load sheet and calculated our rap takeoff performance loaded the Flex temperature and the takeoff speeds. Now let's discuss the departure. We don't have pushback today so we only start up the engines will taxi turn to the left.

180 degrees taxi via alpha foot nine zero one. Our side is going to be Laxus one Juliet. It's our nav one GNSS DME DME not authorized, and we have to remain within Jordanian airspace as we have discussed earlier that we have another boundary about one nautical mile to the west of there. So basically we have to check that the plan view of the si D matches what the FMS is showing. We have to climb to alpha Quebec Charlie. I'll try the other one at or above 6500 feet. Then we turn right - Laxus, which is a turbo flight level 1 5 0. It's continuous 5.8% continuous climb, and we are able to lightweight. As for the threats as we set Nevada environments, we have mountains - alright, and usually we take a lava departure, but the it's based on the Alpha Quebec Charlie NDB, and regulations require us to have the innovate operation and to conduct a conventional departure. So we are conducting another half gns based on.

GPS departure okay. We are also on our way here. There's military activity, so let's check the departure or takeoff. Just in case of engine failure, I will take off performance based on next track. So we have an SS toward left. To our right is mountainous area, steeply rising terrain. So just in case of engine failure at 400 feet, activate runway track. So we're going to fly at photo runway track. So just in case we have crosswind from the left, it would not drift us. Any questions? You know five temperature to nine. Windows closed, threat beacon, parking brake before such a scratch. Static one check okay. No mass at once attitude. It's not the check I too too noisy 2005 glitter Kosovo 11. Terrible taxi. We have two dimensions that you disconnect. Romancing that, thank you very much chakras. They say a lesson Pacifica flopson. Please Dave claps once. I abuse and one target 34.6 after five requests. X to the N to 0-5 sex. So I think winter is you know once.

my ethics I'll you like this clip as brief skellige 1 0 1 0 let's do less [Music] but it's clear that this team this firstly the regard and device the killers one may see one looks this one Juliet's as it gets is unforgiving charlieseo 160/100 climb 1/9 of 0 Scott 1 1 0 acaba Airport is sea level so due to its sea level arrests are very good for the airplane performance much method even with the high temperature Embraer can still make it at high winds for takeoff I love this Airport because my first solo was here so it has a special little boy yes his first solo as well so usually get our training here because the earth weather is much better than a man it's more feasible to fly over here so it has a special place in my heart with great memories not ready Dainius takeoff runway zero wonder wonder zero one zero two tunnels

For takeoff, we will delay the before-takeoff checklist until we are very close to the point. Lightning point in order to still have communication open between us. That that give them the sign for foolish the right conference. So just leave our new 0 1 identified before takeoff checklist take off okay you're taking checklists for example children checked. ICA's check Eddie take a few days before takeoff checklist completed cleared for takeoff one with you for takeoff takeoff path. We have an airplane as it's crossing our path good six months. Yes please advise they did their zero fighters share maybe from the other side. I don't wanna talk our way right ok ready ready or take checklist it's most of time you know traffic insights. It's not ever change at apartments lot of changes pilots individuals. I wanted to keep my speed 155 the clear as much altitude as neater uses the terrain oh right so I think nose like that not speech me at this those said crowd started one.

advice Brittany. It's not zero speak to hundreds sasquatch zero. Also, they can check the flooding. It is up slash lab zero after taking chakras. Thank you turbulence is normal. It's a mountainous area with hot temperature so the hot temperature usually gets hot objects which goes upwards. Close miss Evelyn web-safe entity speed 250. I call them out of 10,500 Jordanian 3:05 control. Want a just Malphite have a nice fight. Thank you watch 4x5 shot is p0 v Amman Jordan LC 0 5 this morning out of one 1200 plumbing one-niners 0. Hi Spencer, good morning to you. Jordan 3:05 proceed direct path to success transition standards set faster causing one people. Yeah, poor choice communication to see and artists right sunglass snow picks up their fluctuation that kid. I'll check out the parking position. Yes, perfectly harmless. You need a nice guy. No, thank you.

but allows you to achieve level unless the departure message. We are purchasing managers limitations of your official zero six zero. Hello guys, so now we are flying at 19,000 feet going back to Amman. So I thought to myself, why shouldn't we say something about ourselves and give you more introduction about me and haggle according to my flying career. Actually, I didn't start at a very young age because first of all, I had done my bachelor degree after the University and I didn't like my aspect. It was there in the computer. It was not really my dream. It did not want me fulfill me completely. So I was very lucky to take a scholarship by Royal Jordanian Airlines to study as a pilot by their scholarship. I'm very grateful to my beloved company actually and ever since I've been with Wren Jordanian for 12 years. They offered me a great job. I had I flew employer as a first officer for four years. Then I've no ever 320 for five years as a first officer also. Then for

my upgrade. There was a shortage of finest on the Embraer, and my update was on the area. I like the Embraer because the first airplane that I ever flown, and there actually it's a very nice to handle. The airplane, you can feel it more than the other airplanes. Is very enjoyable is flying short. Short flights turnarounds all all the time, so I'm always close to my family. And what about you have of so epic high to just these viewers welcome just planes on today today. My father was surprised to see this love the thing that you do you would never work a day in your life as Captain Dima sets you
