DURING INITIAL TAKE OFF...IF THE PLANE'S CLIMB RATE REDUCES BELOW THE COMFORT OF THE AUTO PILOT...IT SHOUTS..."DONT THINK...DONT THINK!!!"
At 20 feet..if the pilot is retarded enough to chop the thrust...he will THINK!!!!! HOW TO SALVAGE A HARRRRRRD TOUCH DOWN and a NEWS WORTHY ARRIVAL!!! That retard turns into a real retard nuisance call if the pilot tries to out think the GPWS and delays chopping the power levers till say 5 ft...the GPWS gets so confused ..IT JUST SHUTS UP!!!!
Airbus is a French company. The word retard means to slow down/delay etc. in French. It actually means the same thing in English, and medically it referes to a slow down/delay in development; but we have given it a derogatory connotation whereas the French have not.
The old "retard-yoke" again. The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is designed to inform the pilots about the radar-altitude under 2500 ft. and to give them terrain awareness. The call out "retard" is an Airbus specific feature that announces the ideal moment to set the throttle back to idle for a smooth touch down around 20 ft. above the runway. It has nothing to do with the dirty word in English.
No, "retard" is correct. The call out "retard" is an Airbus specific feature of the GPWS that announces the ideal moment to set the throttle back to idle for a smooth touch down around 20 ft. above the runway. It has nothing to do with the dirty word in English.
At the end they say ''manual brake''. I dont understand this. If you watch the movie at 30 to 35 sec you can see the autobrake (medium) light burning. Can someone explain that to me?
i believe even if the autobrake is set to whatever setting it can still be over-ridden by the application of manual braking i.e. the pilot uses the toe brakes (manual brakes) on the rudder pedal... i think they would do it if the runway is dryer than what they thought and may want to pull up quicker using manual brakes... if this is wrong someone please tell me
Because the Manual Brake is Hand Brake, like in a car: to stop it during the stopover. But Autobrake is using during landing: to stop the airplane on a runway.
Actually in an airbus 320, you move throttles to iddle when the gprs calls fifity (altitude in feet), and on retard you pull up aircraft nose to a correct touchdown angle.
Wrong. Do that and you you´ll past the runway aiming point at least 500m. On normal conditions you bring the levers to iddle around 50ft on a319, 40ft on a320 and 30ft on a321, the flare occurs later.
On a normal day in the A320 Airbus recommend you should close the T/L promptly at 30' and there should be no "RETARD" reminder. If you leave it too late the thrust starts to increase to maintain target speed in the flare, increasing the landing distance. On an autoland the RETARD call is an instruction and not a reminder - the A/THR will already have reduced thrust.
It´s an aural alert from the autopilot that says to the pilot that is time to pull up aircraft nose a little bit for a correct touchdown angle with the runway.
scaryy!

It's weird when the computer says retard. It means bring the throttle to idle. Fully reduce power on the engines.

Actually in an airbus 320, you move throttles to iddle when the gprs calls fifity (altitude in feet), and on retard you pull up aircraft nose to a correct touchdown angle.

Wrong. You´re suposed to bring it to Idle at retard call.

Thats what pilots usually prefer to do, not what is on the manual ; ).
2129261184 2 years ago
Correct. Tha manual says that landing an airbus is like landing any other aircrafts, and that is done on others aircrafts, and on airbuses.

@2129261184 we know it means idle, it's just a joke retard
