Wind arrow going mad haha

[maxou5757]

Hey does anybody know what the +59 means just after FLEX thrust?

[airtimbuktu]

@maxou5757

That's the FLEX Temp value

[maxou5757]

@airtimbuktu Thanks captain !

[TheBadameco]

how do you know the altitude to reduce to Climb power? is it on the SID?

[airtimbuktu]

@TheBadameco

It depends on which NADP (Noise Abatement Departure Procedure) you're using. Also, Airbus uses 1500agl as a default thrust reduction altitude.

[richygambs321]

@airtimbuktu and thrust acceleration 3000AGL?

[iamadrenaline]

What's the sound at 0:17? The engines seem to be howling.

[airtimbuktu]

@iamadrenaline

Signature Trent spoolup. You can hear it on 777 with Trents too.

[slionboy]

I'm not sure what you call that, but is it a crosshair? What purpose does it serves?

Thanks!

[airtimbuktu]

@slionboy

That is the sidestick input indicator. Because the sidesticks are not linked, this indicator lets the pilot not flying see what inputs the pilot flying is making. Only appears on the ground though.

[slionboy]

@airtimbuktu

Ah I see. But what's the point of it only being displayed only on the ground? Is it an additional aid during T/O where the PNF can tell if the PF is going to rotate any soon or something else? And, what's the actual term for the "Crosshair".

Thanks..

[airtimbuktu]

@slionboy

It's called the "Sidestick Indications". It can be used as an aid for pilots new to the type to gauge how much input is needed for a smooth rotation. The manual suggests putting the crosshair to about 2/3 of the 'box'. But in reality it's much less.

[alphaace11]

Wow, awesome!

[Maxpilot777]

In the airbus FMA, what's the difference between OP CLB and CLB?

[airtimbuktu]

@Maxpilot777

OP CLB does not monitor altitude constraints at waypoints. CLB mode does. In a way, OP CLB is similar to FL CH and CLB is similar to VNAV.

[fgiorgio]

very nice vid ! what plane is this?

[Jordache22222]

Probably the repetitive noise is generated by the lights embedded in the runway

hitting the wheels.Wouldn't be better to keep the nose wheel a little bit of the center line then to avoid these shocks?

[airtimbuktu]

@Jordache22222

Yes and no. From a practical point of view, it's ok to go a little off-centreline to avoid them. But from a discipline point of view, it is desirable to accurately track the centreline. If it was an A320 and the runway is 60m wide, no problem. But if it was an A380 and the runway is 45m, and you had an engine failure....you get the picture.

Besides, the noise lets the new guys know that the visual cues they are using to track centreline are correct!

[Jordache22222]

@airtimbuktu I thought so ;).

But hearing that noise makes you think your teeth would start grinding each other while the trepidations start.

Thank you again for sharing these awesome clips and responding to our questions!

[airtimbuktu]

@Jordache22222

It's not that bad. You'll be surprised to hear that it's music to many instructors' ears!!!

[ie210]

@Jordache22222

really? I like the noise of the shocks. It really makes you feel all jiggle and funny :)

[GGSTop]

God I got to stop simming Boeing / MD .... Where is the wind dir° and speed indicated if not on the Airbus PFD ?

[airtimbuktu]

@GGSTop

It's on the top left corner of the ND.

[AuliaHarun]

Just what I've been waiting for! Awe-inspiring :)

By the way, I have noticed that in most Boeings, the PNF/PM calls 80 knots and in most Airbus's, the PNF/PM calls 100 knots. Is the speed/ECAM/EICAS check speed standardized as per the airline's SOP or the aircraft manufacturer?

[airtimbuktu]

@AuliaHarun

Aircraft manufacturer.

[MacartoChan]

Thank you

[Czwakiel]

Awesome video. Do you think it would be possible to get a view of secondary screen with the engine indications?

[chamilitary999]

nice video, why below 80Kts do you pitch down ?

[airtimbuktu]

@chamilitary999

We keep forward pressure on the nose to maintain good traction.

[CaptenSmoochie]

@chamilitary999

Keep the nose down below 80 knots to improve nose wheel steering.After 80 knots rudder is fully effective.

[wongchungui88]

nice to watch! Could have made it longer. heh

[mistaxray]

Can you explain why the plane lost 60 Feet of altitude during the rotate?

[airtimbuktu]

@mistaxray

Think it's just some temporary fluctuations.....

[ootnitsuj]

@mistaxray

It is due to the sensitivity of the sensors used, in this case, the pitot and static system of the ADC. Usually a certain minimum input is required for these sensors to give reliable and stablized readings. An example is the airspeed. If you have noticed, most airspeed tape has a minimum reading of 40 knots and not zero. That is because it is only at 40 knots that the readings is indicative and reliable.

;)

[chesoares]

what airplane is this? Airbus A330?

[aqeeliqb9]

nice one :) !!! ...just super awesome

[mikib12003]

does it an airbus 340 or 330?

[airtimbuktu]

@mikib12003

No difference.

[BlueWingsAG]

Is that Amsterdam airport?

[RixceU]

Nice! I've wanted to see this for a long time!

What are F, S and green dot speeds?

[airtimbuktu]

@RixceU

Flap maneuvering speeds. Similar to Boeing's "1","5","10","20",etc...

[CaptenSmoochie]

@RixceU

F=Flap retraction speed, S=Slat retraction speed, Green doughnut =Green dot speed like best clean climb speed.Its also best descent speed clean

[TTDMFfreaknew]

"V...1"

Great video as always.

[FSXSuperboy]

Awesome video,man! Love your videos!

[dima767]

More of this kind of videos, please!

[joaohen]

AWESOME!
