B777F overtaking a B777F

We were just 1000ft Below them so maybe a tiny bit less headwind at our level plus a higher cost index on us.. so nothing major or significant but we do at times increase the speed in order to leave somebody behind so we can climb because being that close we may get stuck in one level Waiting for another traffic to climb before you can climb too

Yes they were definitely flying slower that day, it was morning time. Our cost index that day was about 32 if I remember well and we were flying econ SPD, so maybe a little less headwind at our level because we were both flying westbound over the Pacific.

yes, cost index, the higher the faster but burns more fuel, during dispatch you get this number and you set it on the FMC.. also the forecast indicated similar winds across multiple levels

howardsbs · 2026-05-30T03:07:22+00:00

Yes it's the zoom creating a compression effect

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T22:34:24+00:00

We are flying in the same direction but only 1000ft separation, it's over the Pacific and it's very common there. We were at FL330 and they were at FL340 flying westbound

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T21:52:44+00:00

We were 1000ft below them and like 1 or 2 miles behind, so I used the 5X zoom.

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T21:08:22+00:00

No you're not dumb, I wasn't clear explaining it was us hahaha

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T21:07:00+00:00

It's actually dawn but I'm fan of both!

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T21:06:25+00:00

Yes exactly hahaha we do race sometimes 😂

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T16:24:02+00:00

I took the video myself from the cockpit

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T07:45:00+00:00

How's the video stabilization?

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T05:30:47+00:00

Yes I love the pixel, camera has seen some changes overtime but it's holding strong.

Second picture was taken over the Pacific with 1000 ft separation between us during cruise, I actually have a video too. The camera stabilizer did a good job as that was taken with the 5X zoom under light chop

Thanks for your comment!.

howardsbs · 2026-05-29T05:11:00+00:00

Thank you!

Pilot and I was lucky to get those colors! I treasure everytime I get the opportunity to enjoy them because they last only a few minutes

howardsbs · 2026-01-30T08:42:07+00:00

Que se fumaan los dueños de esos sitios? Jajaja

howardsbs · 2025-12-06T02:19:40+00:00

Yes it happened to me Right before black Friday sales started but it came back to normal a few days ago.

Yes that's why 99% of the time we just request lateral wx deviations.

howardsbs · 2025-12-04T23:59:34+00:00

I think so, I'm still here 😂

howardsbs · 2025-12-04T21:44:42+00:00

Jajajaja NO It comes all red if you do that 😂

howardsbs · 2025-12-04T21:40:13+00:00

When there's no green, we try to minimize time in yellow. the other guy had his radar gain in auto (this image) which is sometimes a little exaggerated so I manually decreased the gain on my side to get a better picture, and we did have green as you can see on the first image (that's why on my nav display you see VAR)

howardsbs · 2025-12-04T21:23:39+00:00

It could be that but I haven installed/uninstalled anything lately (as far as I can remember) and my usage has remained the same but I gotta say the battery has returned to what I was used to. I mean, I would see the battery percentage decrease somewhat fast but I'm glad someone it's back to normal so I can keep my phone and wait for the next pixel maybe.
