A330 Cabin Door

[waynespeers]

OMG I love her nails!

[lohphat]

Who the hell thought this design was a good idea?

[Greenman5582]

Cabin crew:don't open the door it's preshurised

Grownd staff: ok il open it

Cabin crew: no

BOOM

[smilehappyme]

Qantas A380 had a engine blow out

[BFMVpwnage5168]

wait...so what happens if you open a pressurized door?

[adamboeing737]

@BFMVpwnage5168 the slide deploys

[kdofe]

@adamboeing737 Well, to be exact that's what happens if you open an armed door. If you manage to open a door on a pressurized aircraft, it would open with an explosive force towards you (probably injuring you) and the flight attendant probably standing inside next to the door could get sucked out.

[adamboeing737]

@BFMVpwnage5168 and its not a presurised door its a presurised aircraft

[BFMVpwnage5168]

@adamboeing737 oh ok thats what i meant

[MrLenovo44]

where do you get this videos

[smilehappyme]

3:00 a ghost opening the door

[timeladythalia]

@smilehappyme hahaha that's what i thought, but i looked closer and apparently saw ground staff :)

[smilehappyme]

@timeladythalia i know it was ground staff because when they pull the control handle on the out side it opend in the inside and it unlocks.

[jojo990100]

I like it is cool

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

They showed a 767-300ER at the start of this video! lol

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

Damn look at her nails @ 2:31!

[lixbeyond]

WOW....this is so much easier than boeing :O :L

[Jack1997LAN]

why do they do with Qantas Airline?

[SouthAfricanAirways1]

@Jack1997LAN It's the Qantas training video.

[slowshow111]

DONT SAY EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pilot588]

just wanna know, what does the 'safety shoe' do?

[redtail747]

@pilot588 the shoe is a safety device so the aircraft door doesn't touch (get ripped off) from the aerobride. The plane moves up and down with cargo/passengers moving on/off, the shoe just drops the bridge and sets off a warning

[Rwy02]

at the start thats a 767 pulling in?

[Luky252]

All airbus plane are like how they open from the side if the open door even the 777 and 787 open like that 5/5

[gairero]

what´s that at 2:10?

[planeman009]

i don't get this it said don't open the door if it is armed then it says lift the handle and crack AND DISARM The door

[nzdan]

opening an A330 door from outside will disarm the dorr if it hasn't been done correctly from inside by crew, or if there is a difficulty with the disarming mechanism inside the aircraft. so yes, while the door almost always would already be disarmed, the action of raising the exterior handle, as demonstrated in the video, will "double-check" the door has been disarmed.

[nzdan]

this is also why ground staff open the doors at airports - it double checks the disarming procedure, to reduce the risk of injury or damage due to inadvertant slide deployment - i imagine that european carriers will adapt to this procedure eventually once they have had slide disarming issues.

[planeman009]

but what the point of checking then???

[nzdan]

there is no way to "check" that the door has been disarmed from outside, other than waiting for the cabin crew's "thumbs up" signal and return knock. when checking inside the aircraft windiw, the ground agent is checking that the red "cabin pressurized" light is not flashing. the white "slide armed" indicator will only illuminate as the door is opened armed, so in this respect, the video mentions this procedure unnecessarily.

[planeman009]

confusing!

[fastzeek]

its saying that if you lift the handle on the outside of the aircraft, it automatically disarms the door . that means its almost impossible to open an armed door. if it does open in the armed position, the emergency slide will comeout

[immihaitza]

why at qantas and some american airlines the ground staff open and close the door? In Europe we close/open the doors ourselves (cabin crew) from the inside.

[mealsonwheels118]

Omg this takes me back, i had to learn all this becasue im part of qantas cabin crew! HAHA Its easy to open the exits, i did it first go!

[GamingDude12]

theres no lock? :O! what if someone jacks the A330! all they need to do is hotwire it :O

[leow626569]

you cant hotwire it...

[planeman009]

:O YOU NEED TO TURN A BUTTON NOT HOTWIRE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT GETTIING CAUGHT!

[GamingDude12]

im pretty sure i can take off a a330 before they even notice im going -_- just take off on one of the taxy ways

[planeman009]

then u will crash cause there no as long as runways so HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[GamingDude12]

actually yes they are. you my friend fail. how the fuck do u think planes "taxy" into the runway. specially in busy airports where they need lots of space for lots of aircraft?

[planeman009]

well if u jack a a330 prepare to have some F-16's On Your Ass

:) :) :)

[Chochoky]

hahaha

[yosniffy]

lmfao, there are sooo many injury warnings for this aircraft

[jjwgreen79]

What dioes the safety dhow doe?

[fincruix]

When the plane is loaded, the suspension in the landing gears retracs, so the plane gets lower. The dewbridge should follow the plane. If it doesn't, the door touches the safety shoe and causes alarm / lowers the dewbridge. Without safety shoe, the door could be dameged in fault situation.

[planeman009]

What is dewbridge?

[Techno04335]

what happnes if you open door and airplane is pressurized?????????

[Patrickisreallygreat]

If that happens, the doors might still be armed and slides will deploy, or the plane might have rapid depressurization.

[venichen1]

it's a plug door so it is impossible to open the door when it is pressurised.

[phoenixbird116]

it is not a plug door. it would open inward like on boeing. it can be opened when the aircraft is pressurized but it would cause a lot of damage to the door flange and seels.

[fincruix]

No it can't. The friction in the mechanism is so large, that the opening handle inside the plane will crack before the door gets opened.

[phoenixbird116]

look bud... i don't know what your expertise in the subject is but i'm a ramp agent for an airline that is based out of phoenix as well as a pilot. A319 was still pressurized. GA failed to check the pressure warning light, thought she got the ok from the F/A and popped the door. Broke the door, hurt her wrist, and the passengers' ears popped.

If you're talking about inflight, engineers from airbus have said it is improbable but not impossible. Atleast that's what the guy from Airbus told me

[fincruix]

If the plane is in the ground and "pressurized", the pressure in the plane should be greater than the ambient pressure (of course). The question is, how do you set the cabin pressure so high in Airbus A320-series (expecting that the airport's elevation is under 5000 feet).

[planeman009]

true at those altituteds you can't

[hostie88]

Actually, the pressure will suck you out and injure you. And to prevent the door from being opened when the cabin still has risidual pressure, it has a great big red light that flashes sitting in the window of the door, everyone can see it, inside and out. And all this talk about widnows size and shape etc etc It's not an A320, A320's have 4 doors and 4 over wing exits. That plane had 8 doors.

[ansettaddict123]

who thought that they would need a full video like that just to train someone to open a damn door!!! good way to do it i guess...

[ABN2808]

What a great way QANTAS train their crew, and ground staff! Well Done!

[jewelshare]

Looks like an A320 to me..

[crazypilot123]

wtf..... shows how much you know. For one, obviously it LOOKs (but isn't) an A320 because all airbus are similar just like boeings. And second, qantas doesn't operate A320's!!! Jetstar does!!

[jewelshare]

I can identify which is an A320 and A330, the video shows a smaller engine, its either a CMD International or a Pratt and Whitney, and there are no winglets shown but wingfence, and the, and circumference is smaller than it looks, the wingspan is shorter, the windows looks more rounded than the A330(I have traveled A330 often times and A320 too often)A330 and A340 don't open up R1/L1 doors but R2/L2 door(may vary on routes e.g. International) but regarding this one the a320 is not Qantas to me..

[crazypilot123]

Are you feeling ok....? They 2 planes... The first one is a 767 and the second is an A330-200 not an A320... I don't care what you're saying about the engines because the plane they show at the end is in qantas colours and it has "cityflyer" on it... A330-200 QANTAS not A320!!! Remember, it may LOOK, but isn't.

[jewelshare]

Oh yes you are right! on 0:06 seconds try to pause it and you will not see even wingfences nor winglet..if its an A330(no winglet) while if its not a A320(no wingfence)and also its not a 767(no emergency exits over the wings. see0:05) so what aircraft is it?

[crazypilot123]

Yes that one at 0:06 is a 767. But really, they're obviously oppening an A330 door because you can see it's the 'S' and 'alia' on it from "qantaS, the spirit of austrALIA" and the cabin crew are dressed in qantas colours and it's not a boeing door and qantas DON'T have A320s so....

[ap1190]

Ever heard of an intro? its what editors use to make videos seem better!

The 767 is part of the intro, this is an A330

[crazypilot123]

Did i not say that...

[ap1190]

i was talking to jewelshare

[coldflaym]

The engine is General Electric look at the end of the video.Theres a little GE logo. (if that's the same plane your talking about).

[ansettaddict123]

precisely

[SexyToshi]

damn, what happened to good old door knobs

[jewelshare]

All the modern door planes have very hard locks(learned after the weak doors and crashes of the DC-10)the cabin is pressurized so it needs stronger locks & thick doors to with stand the enormous pressure inside and outside the aircraft, and nice one on the door knobs^_^ uhmm the knobs urging from the door might ruin the airflow of the plane^_~

[mantech2]

What do they mean by CSN

[bart130174]

CSM

Cabin Service Manager (flight attendant boss)

[92GH]

how the fuck has opening a door got 17,000+ views??

[andremp03]

Open a aeroplane door incorrectly and it might kill you

[92GH]

its a door...

[andremp03]

Yes, but have you not heard of incidents where the slide accidentally deploys/cabin pressure sucks and kills the flight attendant opening it?

[KINGDOMoftheORION]

This is an awesome video? What's it for? Airline training?

[FlyinFreek]

probable

[cmarlow480]

Ok I dont get it what does it mean when the pressurized light is on if your sititng on the ground why is the cabin still pressurized if your on the ground? what happens if you open the door if that light is on?

ps... what does the armed light mean and what happens if you open the door while its lit?

[dmndlkev]

If tthe Door is stilll armed the emergency slide will deployed

[Sterlingjob]

If the door is armed and opened from the inside the slide will deploy, however, opened from outside the slide will disarm and not deploy.The aircraft will always land depressurised, some land slightly pressurized, however, aircraft might be on a pressure ground run to maint purposes so keep a look out!!It annoys the shit out of me when they put the handle down after opening!

[travelplus1]

staff staff staff

[an147]

Very interesting.

[donnasRock323]

knock on the door

LMAO!

all that technology yet the method to open the door is so primitive

LOL!

[jaynesastar]

that has been worded wrong, the cabincrew can only disarm the door from the inside

[Ruiparapente]

safety shoe is to secure door

[timothyngim]

Wats the safety shoe for?

[techdefined]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing.

[skaf7]

If lifting up the handle disarms the door, why should you not open a door when the arming indicator is lit up?

[SullyWild1]

Because the emergancey slide chute will deploy

[skaf7]

As far as I have gathered, when a door is armed it means that the slide will automatically deploy when the door is opened. The video says that the door is disarmed when you lift up the handle (therefore the slide should not deploy). Also, at 1:35, note the warning right below the window: "Do not open door if red warning light is flashing (cabin pressurisation). I can't see any warning about the arming indicator.

[SullyWild1]

The arming warning indicator is the white light next to the cabin pressure warning indicator. Its the one on the left, when lit the door is armed.

[skaf7]

I am aware of that, but my question was why the video says that an armed door should not be opened, since lifting the handle disarms the door (and thus disables the slide). Or is it just there in case cabin crew (for whatever reason) fail to disarm the door from the inside?

[seanlee747]

From my understanding, lifting the handle SHOULD disarm an armed door, but should not be relied upon (since an armed door discharges a CO2 bottle, causing the door to, literally, fly open.)

[willfaz07]

please can the owner tell me where I can get a high res version of this?

[Planeguy13]

Very cool!

[Brac1]

ROFL ;-) Take this video home did we? I love how the C/M patiently waits for the CSO to do the final check on the door before the pax disembark. When I crack the 330 door the first pax is off before I even have time to return the door handle to the recess ;-)
