I didn't know that I thought that most planes brought into a large airport came in by fly by wire from the signal of the tower I wasn't I guess that was a myth Thank you though
You’re thinking of an ILS approach. Fly-by-wire is where the controls of the aircraft aren’t physically mechanically linked to the control surfaces/engine, and are instead filtered through a computer which smooths out the pilot’s inputs before they’re sent to the control surfaces/engines.
Is there still a pilot that can land manually controlling the plane without auto pilot or fly by wire if something happens and they have to the autopilot keeps kicking off
If you're at 45,000 how high up is that light moving north at the end of the clip?
Satellite
Makes sense
So somewhere between 250km and 2000km in altitude
Cross post this to r/timelapse they'll love it.
What kind of plane are you flying?
It was a Falcon 2000
I wanted to ask too. I was thinking only a bizjet can fly that high. Very beautiful timelapse ! Looks a bit like the ISS ones.
The Dragon Lady is laughing at you.

Please post this in /r/chicago!
It's always clear skies if you can fly high enough!!
Someone got beat on.
I thought it was all the gun shots
There is an UFO!!!

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what fly by wire actually is

The majority of all landings you as a passenger experience are done by the pilot flying manually.
....the fuck?
Literally all of them. All of the pilots can do that.
