Airbus A320 landing (cockpit) in Milan with turbolence

[Maloy7800]

Hmmm... at 0:52 the first officer turns some switch and I didn't hear him or the captain say anything. Isn't it the SAFETY rule to say what you're doing and for the other pilot to say "Check" to confirm he's seen it?

[goniman]

@Maloy7800 He adjusted the range of his navigation display, only for convenience. In a critical phase of flight as landing a little thing like this isn't important, also only affects the first officer's ND.

[gh0stop]

One question to author. I was always wondering what this round black & white thing next to throttle do ? Is that thing kinda show is the landing gear spinning ? I just don't know to be honest ...

[jonjoy1999]

@gh0stop no, that is the elevator trim control. the autopilot pushed the elevator trim tabs (rotating the pucks forward lowers the tabs, and lowers the nose of the plane; rotating them back raises the tabs, and the nose of the plane) down, assist getting the nose of the plane down on the ground

[Snowbirds123]

@gh0stop It's the trim.

[xsr8]

@1kleineMax18 There's an 'instinctive disconnect button' on each sidestick. The AP buttons on the FCU are never used for disconnecting because you'd always have your hand on the stick as you disconnect anyway.

[1kleineMax1]

Can somebody explain why the AP switched of shortly above 500ft ( 2:50 ) ? So this is a manuel landing with no AP

[xsr8]

@1kleineMax1 The pilot flying disconnected the autopilot to land it himself, same for almost every landing.

[1kleineMax1]

@xsr8

Yeah normal if you are in VMC. But the AP seems to turn of without any action of the crew, or do they have a buttone on the stick?

[richygambs321]

@1kleineMax1 prob the pilot flying was a bit lazy and decide to switch if off then. Its really up to pilot discretion.

[MichaelNewmann]

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.

[11chouia11]

@MichaelNewmann  i am interessted pleaase ;)

[MyAlfie123]

I think it's "reach on" not "retard"

[intelyorkfield]

@MyAlfie123

No No it's "Retard",

[GJv0179]

Ghibli 573!! Love you guys

[MrEiriku]

@DirkMustard calm down. dont blow up.

[handcuff308]

RETARD? really? no wonder people hate airbuses.

[xTechno2010]

@handcuff308 nobody hates airbusses, it's just the american patriots.

[BoeingB757]

Actually visual landing is operated whenever weather conditions permit, which is 90 percent of the time

[Oryzaku]

What is the aircraft?

[marwal1996]

@Oryzaku a320

[sssoaring2]

I've heard that the Trim is only set on airbuses on the Ground. When airborne and you raise your pitch to a certain attitude, for the holding properties of the plane, does the computer directly control the elevators or does it change the pitch settings to hold the aeroplane there?

[JasonDMG]

@DirkMustard they have a sidestick

[JasonDMG]

@DirkMustard they use a stick ;)

[mikalization]

how do you put airbus in reverse, like in a Boeing for example 737 they have reverse levers on the throttles in airbus a320 a330 a340 etc do they just continue to slide the throttles back pass idle

[duevoltedanilo]

@mikalization no, you got to move up revers levers and slide back pass idle. As well in full autoland (CAT III B) reverse procedure is NEVER automatic.

[fawii]

why Auto landing?

[Vorox144]

@fawii anytime its available pilots use ILS  autoland

[whoisddr]

Why did they turn off the autopilot before landing?

[TheADLABerlin]

@whoisddr Standard Procedure. Especially if the Runway they land on does not support full Autoland (Cat III) . Usually the Autopilot is turned off first and then around 500 to 300 feet, the Auto Throttle is disengaged as well. :-) If the Airport supports full Autoland or the visibility is extremely low, the pilot will land full Auto. :-)

[somnus71]

@whoisddr I think they turn off the autopilot because if they don't, it'll be a hard three-point landing that could cause the tires to explode. The autopilot doesn't know to raise the nose before touchdown. I don't think it can deploy thrust reversers either. Also, if something goes wrong, it's better to have a person flying the plane who can react to something on the runway, sudden weather changes, etc.

[IRAQ4EVER95]

did the pilot do anything....? maybe he only controled the flaps, or maybe they are automatic aswell xD

[JetMechMA]

Interesting, he kept the thrust leevers in the reverse position all the way till they were on the taxiway.

[Guywhowearsunderwear]

What does it mean by "Fly-By-Wire?"

[JetMechMA]

@Guywhowearsunderwear The "wire" that is mentioned is the electrical wires...because the flight control system is computer controlled and has no physical cable connection between the pilot's controls and the flight control. I think only the THS, Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer has cables going back to it. Maybe the rudder also. The phrase should be "Fly By Computer" but somehow "fly by wire" stuck better. Some jokingly refer to it as "Die By Wire"....but the fly by wire systems work well.

[Guywhowearsunderwear]

@JetMechMA Thank you, every day I'm learning something new.

[duevoltedanilo]

@JetMechMA I can confirm, the only mechanical flight surface on A320 are THS and Rudder. They are normally operated in Fly-by-wire (so imput-computer-hyd actuators) but, in case of loss of every hyd system or every fly-by-wie computers, you can still control THS and rudder via pedals (rudder) and the rotating wheel that you can see in the video(THS). Two steel cables are connected from the controls to the flight surfaces.

[boeing737airliner]

what airline is this?



[RomerJon16]

Same setup landing procedures as Flight Simulator 2004 ( Wilco/Feelthere)

[djkarcel]

no spoiles ? o.O

[duevoltedanilo]

@djkarcel ground spoilers are automatically deployed as soon as the aircraft have got ground reference (this information is given by some proximity sensor located on the landing gear). Pilots just have to arm the system by pulling up the spoiler lever.

[MrDavi380]

@ duevoltedanilo oye eso tampien ocurre en FSX.....

[Raider1Suisse]

@duevoltedanilo Or if the ground spoilers are not armed the ground spoilers are automatically deployed when the reverser thrust is "run" (I don't know how to mean that in english) if the aircraft is faster than 72 knots.

[darkprince216]

so the pilot cannot re gain control if something where to go wrong????

[duevoltedanilo]

@darkprince216 for sure they can...and they have to. Airbus philosoohy is to reduce as minimum as possible pilot's work during the flight but the crew must have the chance to overtake the systems anytime is required. sorry for my bad english :-)

[ArticMuse]

@darkprince216 Yes...Airbus system is just like your cruise control in your car, or active cruise if you know one. It helps you drive long journey on the highway, but if anything goes wrong, you can take over immediately. Its just a tool not a replacement for drivers.

[rmachayes]

I'm wondering what the fly-by-wire pilots think of this mode of control over stick inputs?

[duevoltedanilo]

@rmachayes There are a spring that simulate aircraft feedback and change the force on the sidestick. Actually move the sidestick is never hard.

[megasuperkelvin]

I use wizzair and fly very often this video is really cool

[qwertyguy76]

what did the pilot press to disengage the A/P in the plane?, because i did not see him push the 2 front buttons.

[ccr26]

@qwertyguy76 usually amny autopilots have an engage/disengage button on the yoke or the control stick as well as on the panel.

[Exposianature]

@qwertyguy76

Triggered on the sidestick

[duevoltedanilo]

@qwertyguy76 there is a small red push-button on the side stick, called "instinctive autopilot disconnection". As soon as that push button is pushed, both autopilots are disconnected. Autopilot is disconnected also when a certain force is applied on sidestick. This is only used when pilots need a quick take-over on the aircraft.

[patrickcramer]

I wonder why the GPWS says RETARD instead something like FLARE, FLARE..why not?

[1VK3]

@patrickcramer Because it means retard the throttles to idle when just above the runway to reduce power and bring the aircraft gently to the ground. Flaring the aircraft is to raise the nose pitch so that the rear wheels touch the ground first :o)

[patrickcramer]

@1VK3 Yes, I know what it means...what I meant is why the use of that word instead "Flare" for example witch in the end would be the same because when you flare you're supposed to reduce the throttle as well you pitch up to touch gently...both are correct in my opinion..my point is they could use another word to avoid that kind of "joke" if I can say. ;)

[youngfart40]

@patrickcramer It must be because it is designed by the Frech LOLOl

[yahweh18]

@patrickcramer It has nothing to do with the flaring. It is all about thrust reduction at 10ft over the runway to idle. basically means idle the power.

[patrickcramer]

@yahweh18 and what else you got to do after reduce the power? You've got to flare. I just meant they could use a different perhaps more clear on it's message.

[OnkelAchmet92]

well...i dont think that was a "hard " landing...but nice vid anyway

[cequik]

spectacular !!!!

[paoloa320]

La compagnia è WINDJET, il volo proveniva da Catania. Codice volo JET572

[apgetaff]

this was not a hard landing at all...

[kdes]

nice landig! I see a bit of crosswind from the left

[EMANUELE997]

I fear turbolences...!!!

[harapalb1002]

sara la wizz air

[flyingplane88]

wizz non va a linate ma a bergamo

[Lucaserus]

nice 5*

[baracoc1]

windjet?

[baracoc1]

che compagnia e'

[mozzeb]

To the left and right of the throttle are two wheels with white stripes on them that spin when they touch the ground. What are they and what do they do?

[VRicky88]

These are the wheels of the trim that allows the aircraft to rise and to sink the nose

[aerokaio]

nice aproach!

[luisitolindo]

you are using a electronic device ti flim this, however, they say to us " dont use electronic devices in flight" Cueckkk

[bhm1712]

@luisitolindo there is no scientific evidence that electrical equipment interferes with systems on an aircraft, and also no evidence that mobile phones can cause fuel to ignite ( petrol filling stations ban on mobile phone use). The request to turn things off is purely based on theoretical studies that these devices COULD cause problems

[patrickcramer]

It wasn't a hard landing at all but an example of what a bumpy runway is like...

[ddsurace]

40...30...20... RETARD...RETARD...RETARD

I'm sure the pilots get tired of being called retards every time they land. :)

[highonfsx]

UR STATEMENT IS FALSE

[numatixtv]

hahahahaha, thats right!!!!

[canavra]

@ddsurace lol!

[magnernj5]

@ddsurace HAHAHA! lol! That comment made me laugh :)

[nashriquez]

@ddsurace lol

[Guywhowearsunderwear]

@ddsurace It means pull up doofus. ;-)

[juanfacu80]

@ddsurace hey youtube people, are you going to put the SAME COMMENT in every aribus video!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[armageddonarman]

@ddsurace True True... ;)

[fawii]

@ddsurace Retard means that the throttels must be idle at this time.

It's only available in AIrbus.

[RollingStockVideo]

@ddsurace Wow, that joke never gets old.

[marwal1996]

@ddsurace I don't like this sounds because it is a sign that the flight is ending :(

[xboxlivegstar66]

how u get in cockpit ??

[bitingbanana]

I adore a320. I fly with Aer Lingus in Ireland. Leather seats!

[xxBeardyman137xx]

im frm ireland too

[XEMANAL]

I love A-320.Thank you for this video.I use JET BLUE always in USA.

[flightsim04]

that landing wasnt hard

but the ground is shit

[workforcetrust]

This landing was not really hard and I could not perceive any turbulence either. An interesting video anyway, thanks.
