Ich nehme einmal an, dass mit der Startfreigabe "Clear for Takeoff " des Towers die anderen nötigen Bewilligungen wie "line up RW06" obsolet werden auch wenn diese bereits auf dem Rollweg (Taxi) erteilt wurde. Und das ihr die volle Länge der Startbahn ausgenutzt habt lag in der Entscheidung / Verantwortung des Piloten.

Thanks for watching, your good feedback and your question! I recently flew both airplanes but did not observe a difference in regard to your description. My observation is that the A321 in general is flying more stable than an A319 or an A320. This is due to the additional weight. The approach speed is also higher.

Great video, thanks Captain for the time and effort you put into entertaining us! Always wanted to know what the typical schedule is for a Captain, how many flights do you complete each week?

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your good feedback! Flying is like a normal job. Only difference is that we also work on weekends and public holidays. After 5 days of flying, we usually are a few days off. These off days may be in the middle of the week. But we can request off days to accomodate our private life. The amount of flights differs because some are long and some are short. If we do longer flights, we usually fly 2 legs per day. Shorter flights may result in 3 or 4 legs a day. The basics about the scheduling are regulated in labor agreements and the applicable aviation laws.

Thanks for watching and your good feedback! The pushback is usually done in accordance to local procedures. The ground crew knows the regulations and where they have to push us. Sometimes Ground Control is telling us together with the pushback clearance to do a long or short pushback or something similar. Here I assume that they push us that far back to keep the way to our vacated parking position open for possible incoming traffic.

Another super video. Btw, what is a "Rolling Takeoff"?

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

6 ай бұрын

Standard procedure is to lineup the airplane on the runway, hit the brakes, set 50 % N1 or 1.05 EPR thrust, check that the thrust is stabilized, move the thrust levers to takeoff or flex thrust and in parallel release the brakes. A rolling takeoff eliminates the stop at the beginning of the runway. Airbus allows rolling takeoffs but sometimes it is better to do the standard procedure. This is true especially if the runway is very short or if we need to check and analyze the weather radar prior to the beginning of the takeoff run.

Very cheerful ground crew. Amazing video again. How do you confirm ADIRS status from the MCDU? I'm sure the First Officer has a very fine airmanship. He was very easy with the controls upon takeoff. But were you expecting some other answer regarding entry into the runway? Like "full length is always better"?

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

Thanks for watching and your comment! We confirm the status of the ADIRS from the POSITION MONITOR PAGE of the MCDU. You find it via FMGC - DATA - POS MONITOR. The First Officer is a very nice person and a good pilot! I like to fly with him. The distance between full length and the intersection was very little. So it did not make a real difference which intersection we took. He was pilot flying and did not have a preference. This is completely ok. So I had to decide what we do. This is the way it works.

Hi captain I have a question. Can the autopilot be engaged at cruising altitude or does it have to be engaged earlier?

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

The autopilot will be switched on whenever the pilot flying wants to do it. Usually it is done latest at about 10,000 feet. It has to be on at the cruise altitude / or when flying straight and level if we are in RVSM airspace. When flying at low altitudes, flying without autopilot would be also ok.

Great departure! I’ve recently flew from Gatwick to Gran Canaria and back as I was there for a holiday. It was hazy there on departure and it looked a lot better on this departure. We also flew through a jet stream past Madeira island (clear air turbulence), it was bumpy and yet our Captain didn’t switch on the seatbelt sign! I have a question (it’s not regarding this video though) we flew right over Gran Canaria Airport but we went about 11 miles out from the airport and then swung in from the right, do they accept visual approaches there because it seemed to me it was an ILS approach? We were coming right over the wind turbines on 03L. Question 2: On our return flight to Gatwick from Gran Canaria, our Captain made the announcement and he said we’ll be landing on the Westerly runway (26L) we ended up landing on the Easterly instead (Runway 08R). How late can ATC provide a runway change so that you have prepare? Many thanks for a great video!

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching, for sharing your experience and your questions. Gran Canaria is a very busy airport. In general, they allow visual approaches. But due to all the traffic, it is not always possible. And some pilots / airlines do not want to fly visual approaches. They fly the full approach and all others have to follow them. Here is a video of an approach to Gran Canaria: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGd_rbyjlszQdKg.htmlsi=obeXQg3MdHhdXxIu Whenever possible, we want to land and takeoff with a head wind. Sometimes, the wind is changing on a short notice and ATC is changing the landing direction in accordance. Funchal is a very good example. It happened to me very often that during our descent, runway 23 was in use and it changed to 05 as we were getting close to the airport. There is no limit about how late they can change it. They can change it whenever it is needed. If the wind is changing and we are already close to the final approach, they would ask us if we want to continue with a tail wind or prefer the other runway. If we would prefer the other runway, they would give us radar vectors or a holding to accomodate whatever time we need to prepare for this. Usually, we are already prepared and just activate the secondary flight plan or just change the runway / approach in the primary flight plan. Many greetings to the UK!

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Many thanks fort the information - I'm a bit baffled why pilots expect you don't want to fly the approaches visually. It saves time and fuel, that's weird. Gatwick is like another Dusseldorf, they don't want Visual approaches, however, in the evenings I've seen on FlightRadar that some planes go to Crawley (the town where Gatwick is) and then swing in from the left on 26L approach. For me personally, I prefer approaching Gatwick on Runway 08R because that side is a lot more rural land in the surrounding area and its easier for me to plane spot on that side too. Whilst I think about it, I was at the back of the aircraft on my return flight from Gran Canaria as I was on a 321 NEO. At the back, I felt the clear air turbulence very well. Do you feel it much in the flight deck and do you often get calls from the Cabin Crew at the back of the aircraft letting you know they can feel it badly. With turbulence (even clear air ones), do you have to keep monitoring your altitude change? For example, you climb to either a higher or lower altitude? But do you have to keep talking to ATC about your plans? (do forgive me for all of my questions, I am so into my Aviation so much!)

@@motorcycleaddict50 Especially in the Airbus A321 it is more shaky in the back as in the front. This is the reason why we get especially calls from the aft flight attendants with the request to switch on the fasten seat belt signs. Yes, we have to change the altitude sometimes because of turbulence. ATC usually knows from other airplanes if other flightlevels are better.

Hallo zusammen, vielen Dank für ein wieder sehr schönes Video. Einfach herrlich sich mit einer guten Tasse Kaffee zurückzulehnen und zu genießen. Bezüglich der Eingabe in der CDU habe ich noch eine Frage, allerdings betrifft die Frage die Approach Seite. Wie gibt man dort unter den Wind-Daten z.Bsp. gusty Winds oder variable Winds ein? Wird bei Gusts die gerundete Mitte genommen? Ich wäre für eine kurze Erklärung sehr dankbar und hätte dann meine Skills wieder etwas erhöht :-) Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag.

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

Vielen lieben Dank fürs Anschauen, das gute Feedback und die Unterstützung des Kanals! Gusty winds kann man nicht explizit auf der Approach MCDU Seite eingeben. Wir geben normalerweise den vom Tower angegebenen Wind ohne Gusts ein. Die Groundspeed Mini Funktion sorgt dann dafür, dass wir bei Gusts im Anflug schneller fliegen. Allerdings funktioniert das nicht bei Seitenwind. Wenn wir aufgrund von böigem Seitenwind schneller fliegen wollen, erhöhen wir die Approach Speed entsprechend. Die Funktion des variablen Approach Speed Targets, das auf Basis der Groundspeed Mini und des aktuellen Winds errechnet wird, kann man bei windigen Anflügen ganz gut auf dem PFD beobachten. Einen schönen Tag noch!

@classics6367

That’s called the crossover altitude. When you climb with a constant optimal calculated IAS your Mach will gradually increase with altitude. Same on descent, when you descent with a constant Mach your IAS will increase. Easily said, at high altitudes pilots will use Mach number because it’s the most meaningful parameter. Here you are most limited by MMO, where ever in low altitudes, your IAS is limiting with a VMO. That all depends on the atmosphere.

Herr Buntenbach, why do you always start engine 2 first and engine 1 second?

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

This is Airbus standard operating procedure. The reason is that engine 2 powers the yellow hydraulic system which charges the parking brake accumulator. When we would do an engine start without pushback, this would guarantee that we do not move when the chocks are removed. It only matters for an engine start without pushback. When starting the engines during the pushback, we could also start engine 1 first. Technically, this would be no problem. Buit it would not be in accordance to the procedures.

We delete them because we do not need them any more for the flight. This is standard Airbus procedure which is performed at 10,000 feet after departure. When we do not enter other navaids, navaids will be autotuned from the FMGS. For the next approach, we will set new navaids on the RAD NAV PAGE.

When you ‘hard tune’ some navaids, means they are manually entered in the airbus, they will remain active until you manually deselect them. And you don’t want a navaid, which you not even receive anymore blocking one slot. So Airbus says, delete them at 10.000ft, so the system will autotune some navaids, he thinks that are useful.

@ApproachandDepartureVideos

7 ай бұрын

I cannot see any delay here. First of all, the takeoff was not done in TOGA. It was done as a reduced thrust takeoff with a preset flex temperature. So the thrust levers never have been in the TOGA detent. They were set to FLEX. If you watch our briefing, you can see the PERF MCDU page for our takeoff. It shows the FLEX temperature and it shows that the thrust reduction is set to 1500 feet instead of 1000 feet. This is in regard to local procedures at Palma de Mallorca airport. As we reached 1500 feet, the pilot flying slowly reduced the thrust to climb thrust. You can see the result on the FMA display, which is located in the upper area of the PFD.
