Thats a difficult landing? Why? Because the plane refered to the pilots using a politicaly incorrect slur? The pilots should be comended for thier patience! I would have punched that plane in the nose! These pilots need to toughen up. GO NAVY!
aviation lovers, if you're interested I just uploaded a summary of a flight with air arabia, cockpit view. Very nice if you ask me, check out it out if you're interested.
Funny (or insulting) as it may sound, the word that you hear is "retard". This is found on Airbus airplanes. The announcement is a reminder to pilots to bring the thrust levers to idle during the "flare," just prior to touchdown.
Well, you can't just expect them to be panicking there. I'd like to see you make the landing, read the approach plate for that airport, it's pretty crazy!
It's a 90º turn starting at about 800ft AGL, and ending at 400ft and 1 mile from the runway.
All of that while skirting the high terrain on the left.
Now add turbulence and usual wind direction and speed changes throughout the final approach and the runway itself, due to the terrain.
If you look at a metar for this airport, it will always contain 3 wind indications. One for Rosário (the end point of the 90º turn), one for threshold rwy 05 and one for the threshold rwy 23.
Yea, having never flown an Airbus I always get a kick of of the "retard" annunciator. In the Boeings it doesn't say "retard". Do US operators of Airbus get the "retard" too or do they get an American annunciator.
I've always wondered if it's weird for the Captain to use a left handed stick. Provided he's right handed that is. I've tried to simulate it with my control stick in MSFSX and I didn't land very well.
Since most aircraft have yokes, we normally fly with the left hand (unless instructing from the right seat). So flying left handed is the norm unless you are using a stick (the right hand is used for throttles).
Yes you can but only if the plane is equipped with a radio altimiter and the airport has an ILS that allows a plane to maneuver laterally though it's not strictly necessary.
A pilot cannot use autoland if there's a headwind or crosswind of more than 25kts and tailwind of more than 10kts.
Really,
It's often more of a pain in ass to use than to just land it manually or with the help of the localizer. Most pilots don't bother with autolanding.
The runway would have to have a Category III ILS approach. Only a handful of runways have these in the world. Manly at major airports or where weather is usually crappy.
Of all the ignorant posts on my videos yours takes first prize buddy. I rarely reply to comments but yours was hard to pass up.
So by your logic I suppose that the pilot of that US Airways A-320 crash in NYC could have learned how to put a fully fueled 50 ton aircraft(your "cream puff") down gently on a busy NY river without ANY POWER and without killing anybody simply from playing a f$#king video game?
Flew with SATA twice in the past 2 weeks. They're one of the smoothest pilots I've ever flown with. Or was it because Ponta Delgada - Lisbon is such an easy flight?
the a320 series would be a little difficult for the captain to fly as the joystick is on the left seing so many people are right handed it would feel a bit weird flying with their left hand. i guess they will get used to it, practice makes perfect.
I can't figure out why you bothering about it really because it's the most normal thing in pilotship to be good with both hands. This is one of the reason you must be well educated in Pilotshools. So they try to tread you rough. Flying an arcraft is really no big deal till there are some failures. That's what you only have to train and keep up later. It's the same on boeing aircrafts sometimes the Throttle is on right and sometimes on the left. See quite the same to airbus. That's it.
well my friend i think it does not make a diffrence 2 fly with a joystick coz if u didin't notice all the captains fly with teir left hand even with a classic control collum as in final approche (one hand on the control the other on the power levers)!!
the thing about the "stall speed" is incorrect, stalling depends on the configuration of the aerofoil, this can be due to flaps down, icing or what be it. Extra G-forces also change the stalling speed, you cannot rely on a specific speed as when it stalls. you normally feel a stall coming on and so you act as appropriate to avoid it. From what I could see, that landing was fine, didn't look bad at all. :)
Strange. The GPWS of the A320 tells you to retard the levers from CL gate to Idle gate at 20 feet. We hear the warning but apparently they didn´t do it? Or is it just me?
And another thing, the GPWS didn´t make the 5 feet call either.
They did do it, otherwise the spoilers would not deploy and therefore the autobrakes would not activate. The rad. alt. call of 5 feet as with other heights can be inhibited by PIN programming depending on the airline requirements :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There is no skill involved in this landing whatsoever. As you can see in the video, the pilots aren't actually doing anything because modern planes essentially fly themselves.
It is common knowledge among the aviation community that pilots are awarded licenses based on their natural ability to provide a calming presence on the plane. The only training pilots go through is learning how to operate the black box in case the plane crashes, since auto-pilot usually shuts off by that point.
That means that these guys have a commodity known as skill. You go ahead and try to make a 180 degree turn at a 30 degree bank angle inside of 2 miles from the threshold while staying on the glideslope at 180 knots. Don't forget to compensate for the crosswind while also being on the lookout for FOD like birds and stuff in case you do a TOGO. Which you need to prepare for also.
i agree with you that that apporoach takes skill, but what's it when you flare? try not to stall BEFORE you flare, didn't understand that need to know pleace :P
Thats exactly right because if you go below 180 kts you will stall in AIRBUS 320 or Boeing747.YES,It takes BIG SKILL to land VFR on A/P without ILS or established glideslope...Winds looked about 24MPH/30 gusts on final. Decent at about 900/min with throttle about 42% one shouldnt stall anyway with that power. GREAT landing though!!! Very Skillful Pilots!!!
I believe you are talking 737 Vrefs?!?! however I seem to stall below 180 in 747 with full configs on final so as I approach I throttle back upon decent to about 38-42% N1 arming speed brakes to avoid the stall which seems to work flawlessly for me.Thanks for your input though...Always open for learning something new!!!
Did you ride the little bus when you went to elementary school? You're a ##$@@ moron. ----(There is no skill involved in this landing whatsoever. As you can see in the video, the pilots aren't actually doing anything because modern planes essentially fly themselves).You have no idea of what you're talking about here. You need some help---like the other guy said--check your facts shmuck
brother I think that you need to check your facts before you have a mind fart, granted that planes do fly themselves the pilots need to be trained and there is a good ten years of flying training before one gets into a cockpit of a commercial airliner
Cool vid. I'm not a pilot! I do like the flight simulator though. Can anyone tell me why my autothrottle keeps engaging just b4 landing on the A-320? thanks.
that´s because the final turn is close to the runway, the closest you turn to the runway you must be more precise in the procedure, there´s no much time to correct your flight attitude from deviations caused by turbulence and/or wind direction.
exactly. i think it's not a problem for a good professional airline pilot approach to madeira. It could be challengin on x-wind. i heard that only captains are allowed to land madeira, is that true?
You will find Pneumatic controllers, Hydraulics, Electrics, INS, Lighting systems, Fuel switches, APU, FDR and CVR controllers and somtimes a few other bits and pieces up there (dependent on type). Not to mention the rows of CBs that you will find immediately behind on a lot of types.
retard =If the autothrottles aren't on (they're left off sometimes for practice), then it's telling the pilots to bring the thrust to idle by bringing the thrust levers back all the way. It's basically the same directive as when the autothrottles are engaged, but in one case it's a reminder that thrust is being reduced automatically, and in the second case it's a reminder to the pilot to reduce the thrust manually.
autothrottles are never turned on on final aproaches, its part of the checklist as well. some airbus pilots even prefer shooting the whole approach with manual throttles.
It's not actaully a 'poor' Radio Altimetre, it's because of the terrain surrounding the LPMA rwy 05 approach, it's constantly changing height, which gives conflicting sounds on the GPWS.
How about Operated? We live in an FMGS /FMS world now. Im not an Airbus pilot but I believe that cute little side-stick doesnt get much exercise in normal ops - correct me if i'm wrong.
Not bad landing, i think you had a fast decent rate near the end of the approach and that can seriously effect your speed, if you say its a difficult approach then the last thing you want to do is increase your decent rate. Ive seen loads of missed approaches in situations like yours (Training for a PPL (pa28)

Yes, it seems that he not only disabled it, but changed it also. may be he set it to default value in order to not forget to set the future new code...
hey guys i ve a question. since this airbus planes are all fly by wire, wont the pilot lose total control if there is a total electrical failure? n i think 777 also has controls tt r fly by wire. someone pls enlighten me.
Retard means to idle your throttle so you can get ready to put on reverse trust when you lend on the airport.Idle means put your engine trust to 0 so as to make it go negative number easier.Imagine from 10 to -10,which is easier,10 to -10 or 0 to -10.Thats almost the theory for reverse trust.idle the engine then set it to reverse.If you still dont understand i will give you my friends answer.
er.. another more logical answer is the spoiler don't deploy even if u armed it unless you idles (retard) the engines before touchdown, so u have to retard the engines. not doing so the flight computer thinks that u are doing touch and go or, go around thus not deploying spoilers.

Sha1tan 3 years ago
To sum it all up, the rwy05 approach is arguably one of the most challenging approaches performed by large airliners in the world.
Pilots receive specific training to shoot it, and i believe it's a "captains only" procedure.
These guys are obviously calm because they have the proper training, and shoot that approach on a daily basis.
No pilot is going to fly an approach he doesn't feel safe about, but that is not contradictory with the fact that it is a VERY challenging procedure.

I've talked to a few Airbus pilots about that and basically they said it's not a big deal.
After a short while you get used to it.

How about Operated? We live in an FMGS /FMS world now. Im not an Airbus pilot but I believe that cute little side-stick doesnt get much exercise in normal ops - correct me if i'm wrong.

Oh by the way I went and seen a video of some pilot landing on RWY 33 in reggio calabria
and the guy had like 260 foot left when he came to a stop
get a life dude... Italians are not superior to anyone one else! dickfat

Not bad landing, i think you had a fast decent rate near the end of the approach and that can seriously effect your speed, if you say its a difficult approach then the last thing you want to do is increase your decent rate. Ive seen loads of missed approaches in situations like yours (Training for a PPL (pa28)

Why is changing the squwak after the landing?
x4Martin 3 years ago
Yes, it seems that he not only disabled it, but changed it also. may be he set it to default value in order to not forget to set the future new code...

Retard means pull throttles back to idle.

if you think that's tough, try LDSP (Split, Croatia) Rnw 23 approach, or LDDU(Dubrovnik, Croatia) both approaches

what does it mean when it says 'retard'?
uneavenue 4 years ago
it means the pilot is an asshole lol! avionics rule!
jaa93997 4 years ago
Retard means to idle your throttle so you can get ready to put on reverse trust when you lend on the airport.Idle means put your engine trust to 0 so as to make it go negative number easier.Imagine from 10 to -10,which is easier,10 to -10 or 0 to -10.Thats almost the theory for reverse trust.idle the engine then set it to reverse.If you still dont understand i will give you my friends answer.
LordAlwinTHC 4 years ago 2
er.. another more logical answer is the spoiler don't deploy even if u armed it unless you idles (retard) the engines before touchdown, so u have to retard the engines. not doing so the flight computer thinks that u are doing touch and go or, go around thus not deploying spoilers.
ADouBTor 4 years ago 2
spoilers have to be deployed before idling the engine, it can be deployed with thrust full below FL10.Beat that.Retard
