Pilot'sEye.tv is Wunderbar
I now have seven of these dvd's and love them all. The idea of placing six cameras in the cockpit of a modern glass cockpit airplane and recording the actions of the pilots handling the controls in many different situations is inspired. When I was young, I learned to fly single engine aircraft and thoroughly enjoyed flying. I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I had continued on that path and become a commercial airline pilot. Well this is as close as I will get and I am very pleased with these videos. As a side-note I am also happy to get a refresher in the German language as much of the cockpit conversation is in German (with available English subtitles). A++

An extremely interesting look at the A350
I thoroughly enjoy the pilots eye tv productions.This one has the same high production values but is slightly different- the flight from Munich to Boston doesn’t have much in terms of sights along the way. This makes long portions of the flight where “nothing much happens” and is utilised very well by pilotseye to show the construction of the A350 wing, fuselage at the airbus plants in Germany. Also included are footage of test flight innaugral flightHighly recommended for airbus fans

Could have been so much better!
Bought for me as a gift from my Amazon wish list. This release is up to the usual high production standards we expect from Thomas and his team at PilotsEye.tv. Wonderful photography, crisp and clear audio, good menu and subtitles.As a comparatively early video release on the A359 and the first from PilotsEye you can understand and probably want to see some of the construction and assembly using the latest methods and materials such as the carbon fibre. However these seem rather excessive particularily when their inclusion have been at the expense of the cockpit action. A more judicious edit may have stopped the feel of a mutual congratulationary marketing release from Airbus and Lufthansa and allowed more of the outbound trip and some of the Boston > Munich leg which is completely omitted.There is some great footage from outside the aircraft but this release although good leaves you feeling that it could have been so much better. An important aircraft so a worthy addition to my collection.

Very Disappointing Release - I'm Crying with Disappointment
I had no hesitation preordering the A350 Boston Pilots Eye TV as I already have the Los Angeles 747, awesome San Francisco A380 and sensational Miami A330 videos. I very much anticipated an excellent A350 Boston video. The production quality is excellent however in this A350 video they forgot the reason for Pilots Eye TV. In a usual episode, certainly of the videos I have, coverage of the pilots in the cockpit is a forward and return journey split with a short break of sightseeing or some other activity on the ground at the destination. The majority of the video is cockpit activity, banter and views from the window. In Boston A350 the video covers the forward journey only and the cockpit activity is less, much less. Of a 2hr and 9min video, 57% is flight deck. Yes, I measured it. The reason for this is the video is riddled with segments on the construction of the A350. Segments that are fine as extras for those interested but are boring and uninteresting when consuming time in the feature production. 57% flight deck vision is also a generous calculation. I would take a guess an additional 10% cockpit time is taken up with inane conversation introducing the segment and then reiterating at the end of the segment that was just seen. The landing is most unexciting and then the video concludes with the Lufthansa A350 launch party... kill me now. I've just sat through a 2hr 9min advertisement for Airbus Engineering and its Lufthansa's collaboration. I sincerely wish I had better things to say about this video however it was real disappointment to me. The more I write the more frustrated I get at how bad it was. This is the last time I do a pre order. It was an expensive mistake. I do hope this isn't going to be the last Pilots Eye TV video released however it could be if all they are now is a promotional tool for the manufacturer and airline. To conclude, if you are new to Pilots Eye TV, get yourself the San Francisco A380 and Miami A330 videos. They are both exceptional and represent the very best of Pilots Eye TV.

A350 = awesome, this film = massive letdown.
I proudly own every PilotsEye.tv Blue Ray that there is, and have been a huge fan for years. I was so exited for this release, as there is generally not a lot of good footage of the new A350 out there yet, so I thought this would be brilliant.This film takes on a completely different format to the rest of their releases and I really think they just got this one, plain wrong. The name is Pilots Eye, whereas this DVD felt like "AerospaceEngineersEye". The flight takes off, and in spaces that could be filled with interesting features about this amazing new plane, the en-route part of the flight cannot go 3 minutes without an interruption to some footage from a factory of them making a wing, or whatever. This gets boring, quick. And the constant interruptions get irritating, quicker.It turns out that the "bonus" content for this film is the flight crew demonstrating some features of the A350, footage that totally should have been in the main feature, and swap with the frankly boring factory footage.The editing of flights approach seemed rushed, and it wasn't really explained, one minute they're at cruising level and the next they've captured the glidescope. To add to this there's not even a return journey. I really hope Thomas Aigner or someone involved with pilots eye reads this. What are you doing? Leave the format as it is! it worked! Cut out the constant flashbacks to some factory, and keep us in the cockpit so we can have something like I dunno, a pilot's eye?If you're new to Pilots Eye - DON'T BUY THIS. It will put you off the series, whereas San Fransisco A380, Los Angeles B747, Miami A330 are all amazing films and I've watched them many times.

Neue Folge; wie immer top; aber wieder etwas anders
Ich habe heute die DVD erhalten und bin glücklich. Die Folge ähnelt dem Ausflug nach Seattle, wo man dem Bau einer Boeing 777 zusehen durfte. Diesmal erhielt der Zuschauer einen Einblick in die Produktion des neuen A350. Man sieht wie die 3 D Drucktechnologie in die Luftfahrtbranche einzug hält und ein Flugzeug heutzutage entsteht. Die Tests vor der Indienststellung werden auch gezeigt. Das ist in meinen Augen sehr interessant. Dadurch gibt es kaum Landschaftsbilder. Sie anders als der letzte Teil (A330 Miami). Alles in allem würde ich jedem diese Folge empfehlen.
