Airbus A320 Training Video - Elec Emer Config

[Tigre30]

DoomsYann, that's to avoid a bad or improperly operation of the emergency gen. The nose landing gear produces an alteration of air flow used by the RAT

[DoomsYann]

Why is the DC ESS bus on BAT when the L/G is down?

[Dozza2k]

Great, got EEC in the training part of my necxt sim check. Thanks.

[JonRDow]

@Dozza2k Awesome! That's nice it helped: )

[brodhaq]

Please, why after landing on 9:22 you have APU fire pushbutton iliminated? In CBT I see nothing about that.

[BassElArgelino]

@brodhaq Good question but useless at that stage of the flight (after touchdown) as your main concern wouldn't be the APU FIRE light on the O/H panel but stopping the big BIRD with a 1000 psi on the breaks by applying the limited 7 inputs on your pedals..isn't it? :)

[abcusuk]

What he saying at 0:38 Decomentions?

[TKDonny]

He says Alternate Law.  It's Next Generation Airbus flight control law philosophy. Alternate Law is a result of downgrading from primary status of Normal Law. Below Alternate Law you would be downgraded to Direct Law. Involes raw data flying.

[YoMomSaddam]

It's similar to stability control in a car, except with multiple levels and you cannot turn it off. It only downgrades in certain conditions.

[korver23]

he was saying "Deconnections" which means like disconnect

[vanair1488]

ECAM actions

[YoMomSaddam]

ECAM Actions.

They're following what the ECAM says that they should do.

[Yanndooms]

nice video. but does you or anyone els know what alternate law and direct low is?

[slaoui53]

I have only seen these laws in Airbus. Under normal operation you are under normal law with full protection against overspeed, alpha floor, pitch max... Under alternate law you have some protection but less than normal law after the loss of sme system , under direct law you got no protection , once the landing gear is selected down and on ground you are in direct law, which means direct act from sidestick to flight control s without protections, hope that helped

Hey Jon!

Thanks for the video! I didn`t find before!

[JonRDow]

I'm glad your happy, does this video help?

[andreminella]

It helped me a lot today! It is a very good tool to be prepared for a simulation session.

[angeltorresmeza]

hi, my name is angel iam from mexico, i would like to download your videos to my computer, how can i do that? iam working on the a320 type rating, and these videos help a lot, thank you, have a nice day.

[milepost177]

Try orbit grabber. It is a free download. If you are using Fire Fox, they do thier own download tool also free.

[Skunkoworks]

master caution on, autopilot disengaged, gen off and on, coffee warmer check on.

[JonRDow]

Haha, quite.

[pilotegarcon]

since everything is run frm electricity in e plane. wont e plane lose control totally in the event of a complete electrical failure? fly by wire scares the hell outta me sometimes.

[JonRDow]

not quite, in the event of complete power or hydraulic failure,you would go into: MECHANICAL LAW. In this event you still have a direct connection mechanically to the rudder. You can also use the engines for directional control. Obviously, worst case situation would be RAT failure and dual engine failure. Although this in incredibly rare.

[crosswindaviator]

If you lose all hydraulics there is NO backup on the airbus 320 series... as the mechanical backup you are talking about is cable's from the the pedals to the hydraulic actuator's,

no hydraulics = no backup = dead

[resylana]

By the time you have a TOTAL electrical failure, you d have landed already.

TOTAL electrical failure don't appear suddenly at once, it's a step by step event.

1) you have GEN1 that can supply ALL of the elec system

2) you have GEN2 that can supply ALL of the elec system

3) you have the APU Gen that can supply ALL of the elec system

4)You have the RAT that would power the blue hydraulic to get the EMERGENCY GEN (which will supply all the ESSENTIALs).

...to be continued...

[Avantime]

@resylana Didn't a Qantas jumbo lost most of its electrical buses back in 2008 when some poor flight attendant broke the plumbing in the galley? Rumor has it that if the water spill had been bigger all the buses, including the battery bus would have short circuited.

[JonRDow]

@resylana interesting stuff :)

[resylana]

continuation :

5)If you still have no luck, and all of this failed, you still have +/- 30 minutes of batteries to supply the essentials.

Let me remind you that you would have a "LAND ASAP" message on the ECAM on the very first loss of all those power suppplies.

[mogofou]

like when the fo repeats everytime, "very pro"

[seanlee747]

It seams here that the pilots are simply functioning in a "system" i.e they did not do any "free thinking," rather they followed checklists.

I'm not disagreeing the fact that pilots are absolutely esental when "the book" is useless.

[EIN771]

Interesting vid , and i agree with ''akroflieger'' .

[akroflieger]

Very interessring and amazing video!

It shows that it is still essential having pilots in an aeroplane!

Even though this damages won't happen very often...
