The upper A380 rudder is not active in high speed, it`s only needed on low speed/approach. It has a mechanical device that pushes it always to the right when no hydraulic power on ground. In flight this mechanical force to the right is counteracted by hydraulic pressure keeping the rudder in the midlle and eliminating fluctuations. Both rudders are also limited in travel range as the speed gets higher. So the upper rudder is held mechanically to right on ground due to mechanical force and the lower can be moved by wind to any direction. But it is damped by the internal hydraulic.

Why would Airbus want the rudder to default to the right when there is no power? Wouldn't centering the rudder be better in a situation where power is lost?

​@@wecsam The rudder is most of the time inactive. It has 2 x hydraulic and 2 x electric backup. In the unlikely event all is lost it will be centred by the airflow when flying. When you centre the rudder with hydraulic power it will micro-oscillate. All aírcraft have this problem. But on the A380 because of the giant size of the rudder you would feel it and it would do stress on structure. With the mechanical preload the hydraulic will centre it perfectly without oscillating.

@@RFHeimi Awesome explanation, thanks! Do you know what is the "mechanical device" being used? From the video at 4:05 it looks like it is maybe spring loaded and the wind is blowing in from the right of the screen? Seems kinda weak (blowing in the wind) to be a pre-load against hydraulic system? Although I guess maybe any force enough to cause a pressure imbalance in the hydraulic circuits would be enough? Also (you seem to know your A380's...) how does this speed balance multiple actuators across multiple independent systems, attached to the same rudder section?? That feels like a whole other can of worms...

@RFHeimi

5 жыл бұрын

@@Buchaven959 Yes it`s a kind of spring, buts it`s not weak. You can'`t push it by hand. In the video it deflects because the wind is blowing somewhat fast and don`t forget the surface it`s acting on. And yes, it`s just enough force for a preload to the hydraulic on one side of the actuator. And each Rudder has just 2 actuators, and only 1 is active at a time, while the other is in "damping" mode. If the hydraulic part fails the electrical takes over, which is built-in. So 1 actuator with 2 systems inside. So 2 x 2 per rudder but only 1 active at a time, others standby. Makes a total of 4 Actuators for both rudders but with double backup (8). Was that your question? Google for A380 rudder, or "EBHA"

Watched a tonne of pilots on youtube; commercial ones that are still flying are my favourite and this guy is by far the best. I find myself always coming back to Captain Joe's content. Initially found his channel because of autoplay going off course from ATC videos and then his interview with Kennedy Steve and I was hooked from there. Thank you so much, Captain, for your hard work and great videos.

Hi Joe, I met you today at the Pilot's career fare (having watched your videos for a while now) in Heathrow Airport with my mum and dad (we were the first people you spoke to) I just wanted to say thank you for all the advice you were able to give me as well as being such a nice guy. From Alex Godfrey (hopefully a future pilot)

Welcome back captain. Missed the 'dear friends and followers' opening slogan. It switches my brain to aviation lesson mode😊😊

Our captain's back ! Happy to see you again ✈💙

Glad to see you are back. As always a great video filled with information. Also want to mention that your productions are well done. The editing, b-roll, and graphics are not overdone and well placed.

Your videos are wonderful and it's great to have you back. After talking about NWA 85's PCU malfunction and then discussing A320 & B737 rudders, I was kinda surprised you didn't mention the crashes caused by PCU malfunctions on UA 585 & US 427 and the near-miss with W9 517.

Fun fact: The 747-400 flying the Northwest flight 85 (N661US), was the first ever Boeing 747-400 ever built. And the same aircraft is currently preserved at Delta Flight Museum at Atlanta, with people allowed to enter and see it from the inside.

Good to have you back here, Joe!😊

The 747 mentioned in the Northwest Airlines incident in the video was the first production 747-400 off the production line and went into service with Northwest Airlines. Delta Airlines inherited the plane when the merger with Northwest was complete. It went on to serve with Delta for several more years before being retired and is currently on display at the Delta Airlines museum in Hapeville, Georgia which is a suburb of Atlanta!

Great to have you back Captain Joe! Keep up the good work!

I'm obsessed with aircraft. When I was a teenager I started building model airplanes, mostly airliners and cargo planes, a hobby I returned too a few years ago. And all the while I wondered what the split rudder was about. Today, after 30 years or so, Captain Joe answered that question for me! Thank you Joe!! 😉👍

Thanks for video God bless you and your family

I am going to admit that one of my favorite hobbies is reading NTSB reports. This video is the first time anyone ever recommended that I read one! If I could go back and do it again perhaps I would have had a career in investigations.

Her Joe I would like you to make a video on communication system on a b 7478

Awesome video! Split rudder is an example of a tiny detail that creates huge questions, because they are the most difficult to find an answer to! Thanks Captain Joe, for this wonderful and informative video.

Hey Captain Joe! Been following you for a while, love the videos!

After a 2nd wash, the graphic is completely gone. :( Just FYI, in case you want to consider a different silk screener than teespring.

Love you and your channel so much ! I am storekeeper for a line maintenance company, we are working on A319s, so I recognise a lot of parts that I receive and send to repair in your videos ;) thanks !

Excellent explanation, great video, perfect balance of pictures video and technical graphics. TY CJ

I think the reason why the A380's rudder can be pointed two ways is if the wind is coming from the back, the rudder might split and they would be pointed in opposite directions. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Woo our captain has a beard now...... Btw you're looking good with that beard

Hi Joe! The A380 has a very high stabilizer, and Im thinking that all the wind is forcing the upper rudder to the right in the video you showd. And by all the turbulence from terminal forced the rudder in a left position. This is my best theory. Keep in mind that the video of the a380 at the gate also shows that it doest keeping the split position the hole time...........Greetings Marc Nielsen!

@@chazzeiler9753 Preliminary report seems to indicate Ethiopian pilots did crash while applying the emergency procedure published by Boeing. This raises questions about the software update that is supposed to solve the issue: if this update is a direct implementation of that procedure it might not be sufficient. It seems the MAX will need to go through a lot of deep testing before it gets its licence back and people accept to board it again. I'm also hoping pilots will give us their thoughts on that whole situation. But I fear they won't be allowed to discuss it freely. There is a lot at stakes for Boeing, the FAA and companies. So they might get instructions to wait until the investigation is complete and the final report is published.

Late notification. Loved it. I am a long time aviation fan and Captain Joe fan.

I just happen to have a 737-400 operations manual sitting here. There are hydraulic system A, system B, a standby system, and a power transfer unit. "A" is powered by a pump in engine one plus an electric pump powered by the generator in engine two; "B" is just the reverse. The standby system is powered by an electric pump which can get power from either engine or the APU. The rudder can be used with any of the three systems. This manual does not have component details on the actuator arrangement in the rudder, so I do not know if one system could power all actuators or if the A and B systems each have dedicated actuators. Standby is normally off, selecting the standby system will replace either A or B.(two switches; switch A can be ON OFF or STBY and switch B has the same)
