360° Cockpit view of the first-ever American Eagle (Envoy) Embraer-175 flight from Miami (KMIA) to North Eleuthera Island, Bahamas (MYEH). You'll be sitting up front in this fully interactive video with Captain Joe, First Officer Dean, and videographer Swayne. North Eleuthera Island has never seen an airplane this big, so this empty flight gave our ground crews the chance to work with the new E-175 for the first time before revenue passenger service.
STUDENT PILOTS + FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS... This is your chance to experience the workflow that pilots face when running checklists, navigating through stormy weather, departing from busy airspace, and landing at a non-towered airport.
Flying into the North Eleuthera Island Airport (MYEH) in the Bahamas looks a lot different than pretty much every airport back in the USA. We operate fully VFR in/out of MYEH, since there's no air traffic control or radar coverage. Plus, its single runway is only 6,000 feet long with no visual approach guidance from a PAPI or VASI. It's the perfect spot to refine your visual and hand-flying skills. The terminal has just one room, an outdoor boarding lounge, and no jetbridges. Being one of the most stunning Caribbean Islands, North Eleuthera is also very busy. You have to pay close attention to the uncontrolled CTAF (airport traffic) frequency to keep tabs on the location of multiple general aviation, airline, and charter flights into the airport.
This flight was filmed under Part 91 with permission from Envoy Air, Inc. during a zero-passenger check flight to the North Eleuthera Airport.

@SwayneMartinPilot3 years agoI want you to experience first-hand what it's like to be a pilot. I've worked for years to get approval for 360-degree cockpit views, and I'm so proud that you finally have incredible behind-the-scenes access to the flight deck. What plane do you want to ride in the jumpseat on next? ...1484

@DUIA772 years agoIt was so awesome that you got approval to do this 360 video. Thank you, Envoy, for allowing Swayne to do this great video for us that wish we were in those seats. Thank you, Capt Joe and FO Dean for allowing us into your awesome office. Great job Swayne I hope Envoy approvals more of these videos. This video pushes me to start my pilot training. ...9
@
@robrights55203 years agoProbably the best 360 airplane video I have seen. Most have problems with the cockpit exposure vs the blue sky - where the sky is blown out white with overexposure. You always have clean professional looking entertaining videos. ...272

@whooparse3 years agoThey should have something like this to give to new hires in training. To see all major phases of flight. Learn how the callouts will actually be. Prior to the sims. Boring for YouTube but going from dark and cold to flight would be great too. ...155

@ctpete3333 years agoHaving been a regular visitor to north Eleuthera for 45 plus years it’s pretty cool to see the largest jet yet fly in. I remember the days when I think turboprops and very small jets were allowed (4500 ft back then). Now I wonder how soon before an airbus 320 will land at elh ? They’d have to lengthen rny and widen it as well. Due to the on going local “crown land “ disputes it will take some time. Of course the terminal building and facilities need some serious work and renovation as well. the runway is in such bad shape, that they might have to repave it before this project takes place ...3

@edjemison80713 years agoThank you, Thank you, Thank you. The best ever video I have seen in my life on youtube. I discovered full screen and zoom half way through and was blown away. Great PR for Envoy! If you are able to get more of these spectacular videos, It would be great if you could include the flight plan for the not so fortunate flight simmers to fly along with you. Some of us missed are calling and can only live in the shadows of the real heroes of the sky. ...1
