A320 cockpit landing at LPLA (Lajes), Terceira island.

[hyrrokinfamily]

You all failed, the sound at 2:51 is only the "autopilot off" signal and the three peeps shortly after means that the approach was not completed by the computer and that the pilots prefered to do it manually... You would have heard 3 another peeps for autothrust off

[shagadelicmilkman]

has anyone noticed on the captains side there is a big weather system on screen but on the copilots side theres almost nothing?

[Fuerteaction123]

@shagadelicmilkman maybe it's because the captain activated weather and the f/o terrain ;)

[artaza99]

when at landing he says 50 ... 40... 30 ... 20 ... retard reatard retard

[alehead]

The three louder chimes are autopilot disconnect... the three pips afterwards are an indication of the downgrade of CATIII to CATI landing. It has nothing to do with the autothrust setting, as the autothrust button (middle of the FCU, below the two AP buttons) remains on until 20ft RA (then retard retard...)

What's the sound@2:51 for?

[mbielchris]

auto pilot disengage i believe

[macmab74]

@roy89321 The first three (louder) chimes mean "autopilot off", the following three short peeps mean "autothrust off".

[DreamboyCAT]

@macmab74 Your right, first three chimes are the AP disconnect warning. But if you check the FCU lights (3 in the center) you'll notice that AP1+AP2 (dual) are disconnected (2 upper lights), but autothrust (lower light) remains active until the pilots retards the throttles during the flare. So the short beeps are not autothrust disconnect warning.

I'm still wondering what are the 3 short beeps.

[miller298]

@macmab74 The triple clicks after the three chimes just mean that there has been a degradation in modes. Autothrust is still in.

[SuperApple1995]

@miller298 yes nearly, it means that the Conditions required for CAT3/CAT2 are no longer fulfilled, but your explanation is well too ;)

[miller298]

@SuperApple1995. Any degradation of mode will cause it, for example if you pull heading, the aeroplane is no longer capable of maintaining a managed climb/descent so it will revert into open climb or open descent. Although in this case, you're spot on!

[pilotmaterial]

@macmab74 Hi, I'm a real Airbus A320 pilot and the three short peeps are part of the over-all signal that the Autopilot is disengaged the Airbus A320 "NEVER" flies without Autothrottle as it uses a FADEC system to manage the engines all the time, the only time we use Manual throttle is while on ground. No offense meant just clearing this up :)

[380300]

@macmab, Yes it does in raw data and in direct law

to plcaviation: Thank you for reminding us that the terrorists have won again! Yes, there are cockpit issues. But have we forgotten how to encourage the pursuit of an admirable dream? I hope not.

[plcaviation]

lol, you're gonna get through it body... i'm sure

[plcaviation]

How did you get in the cockpit... you are a passenger? If yes, I am definitively going to ask.

[air1luis]

why don't you mind your own business?

[plcaviation]

air1luis why are you so damn frustrated?

I was just wondering if there was any chances that I could go in there?

[air1luis]

oh! sorry, I misunderstood your question, please accept my apologise.
