  • That was takeoff configuration warning sounded there I guess his flaps where still in 3 or full or still in transit

  • Yay for playing around with a multi-million dollar plane!

  • An unusual approach, wasn't it?

  • hahah that cockpit voice is retarded, as well as airbus!

  • That was a late line up - wow this aircraft is so manoueverable and forgiving - nice vid ;o)

  • Why did you go around?

  • Nice landing!

  • what if you are a right handed guy and you become a captain how would you fly with left hand?

  • @formychar1 you just get used to it, it takes a little while.

  • @Laus247 i cant imagin that ive tried flying with my left hand couldnt at all

  • @Laus247 actually, it's quite normal, so the pilot can use his right hand to flick switches

  • @Laus247 Why is it necessary to retard, can't you land without the thrust levers pulled back.And how do you guys maintain a constant speed of the aircraft while landing?

  • @formychar1 well the title doesn't exactly tie you to a chair, you could switch with the co-captain or what ever you call him.

  • @formychar1 The same way you get used to flying any other plane with your left hand. Landing/Takeoff often only one hand on stick (left hand) because right hand on throttle anyways, or manipulating switches/levers.

  • ? is the pilot on the left wearing pants!?

  • Dai lo hai fatto perfetto

  • The computer voice sounds like "James Earl Jones, lol

  • @10stringmaster the coolest cockpit voice ever

  • @itsumonihon yeah~ EXCEPT when he calls the pilot a RETARD-! LOL

  • no pants

  • yup saw that :p is it a little hot in the cockpit perhaps?

  • Looks like the Captain has no pants on.

  • he joined the mile high club ;)

  • why dont you take a better look home dog?

  • lol i realised too.

  • lol

  • Lol The computer doesnt land the plane. They use ILS. It tells them how to get on glideslope and lines them up with the runway.  When you have the runway in sight you completely disengage all autopilot systems.

  • Excellent Video by the way! :)

  • I was in a Ryanair Boeing 747 from Derry to Birmingham and the pilot came in fast then hit the runway, bounced back into the air and then put full thrusts to take off again. About 5 mins later he said that it was because a gust of wind lifted one of the wings, but I think it was because of his dangerously fast landing. Does anyone know weather this is a common occurance, because I have heard of aborting a landing before you hit the ground but I thought that one looses too much speed after this??

  • @Paulgreece1: One of the pilots almost always lands the plane. Although the A320 has autoland capability it's only utilised in low visibility or to practice procedures. Most of the time the flightcrew will have disengaged the autopilot before 400 feet RA.

  • I'm sorry if im stupid but i really wanted to know the purpose of touch and go..

  • Could you tell me what tuch and go mean ? I have read this in FSX But I don't know what is it for..

    I'm not a pilot but I'll become one day..

  • it just mean, land and fly again. like touch the ground and then facilitate again.

  • Touch and go simpy means landing without a full stop, which means when the plane touches down , you do not stop you apply full power and up in the air again. Its basicaly used in training to practice takeoffs and landings without stopping and wasting time on going back to the begining of the runway. The airport has to be kinda not busy that day so it could be donee of course. Hope that helped and good luck with your training.

    regards

  • I very much doubt it my friend, FSX is one thing but it doesn't make you a pilot.

  • I very much agree, although it does get you very used to instruments and IFR.

  • One reason that comes to mind is if you touch down without enough runway left to safely stop and you need to turn around and try again.

  • 1) To practice, so that in the event that there is an obsticle on the runway the aircraft can always climb.

    2) It is the perfect way to practice landings and take-offs without wasting too much time on the ground for things like reconfigs.., taxiing back to the beginning of the runway, etc.

  • THX! i get it now!

  • my best guess would be if you accidentally overshot the runway and you know the runway isn't long enough. possibly coming in to fast also.

  • Thats not a simulator, thats real !!!

  • Well done...

  • dumbass

  • enigma800, the warning was the "master warning" the "master caution" only gives a single chime and does not flash but stays constant. just wondering why no RTO for the master warning?

  • Too far right off fhe the centerline on short final. That can't be considered as normal during flight with passengers, can it?

  • i bet it was an optical illusion :)

  • It was just the angle the video was taken from

  • Yes they do. I did exactly same a few months ago.

  • An airline is not going to just throw a pilot into the cockpit of a multi-million dollar jet loaded with passengers after just flying in a simulator. Flight training in the actual aircraft that the pilot is to be certified for is important and is done by every airline.

  • Actually, after the simulator...yes they do! Is called base training and the trainee pilot gets used to the airliner doing circuits, touch and gos, etc until line traing with a training captain and passengers...

  • Also, master warning when throttles went to TOGA (Take off/ Go around setting) which is fully forward after CL and FLX gates...CL = CLIMB setting (which is used during cruise also) and FLX is D-rated take-off setting...perhaps due to flap config???

  • 30 degree flaps take like 7-10 seconds to retract, maybe it is

  • hahaha

    bad comment

  • Nevermind, my friend who's a pilot told me that's the master caution warning.

  • What was the flashing light and alarm sounding for at 0:50 ?

  • Comment removed

  • I think that is an italian airline

  • Was a passenger in an aircraft (A320)about 3 weeks ago here in Australia that had to touch-and-go after a wind shear caused the starboard side to lift enough to touch only one of the wheels on the runway causing the landing to be aborted.

  • so what is the point in a touch and go... other than training?? i mean in real life..??? any1??

  • when theres too bad weather the pilots try to land and sometimes they cannot so the touch the runway (or simply not) and "take off" to try another landing... HOPE THIS HELPED

  • You're confusing two completely different things. If a pilot decides to 'go around' for any reason (not just weather) and the decision is taken very late, it is possible to make ground contact for a very short period and this is normal. This video is a planned 'touch and go' and is used throughout all stages of training to maximize the number of takeoffes and landings pilots can get in without taxying back and absolutely killing the brakes! This will certainly help.

  • Sorry, it goes without saying that for normal commercial operations touch and gos are not used!!

  • @robbieboy22 Dont forget to disarm the spoilers as having ground contact will compress the oleos and the wow microswitches will signal extension of the spoilers which could lead the a/c to be unable to climb after applying To/Ga power.

  • is this a stimulator?

  • I don't think so cos there's glare in the windshield from the runway lights and ATC

  • While wearing shorts too. lol

  • a pilot is only good when he can do touch and go s in shorts/ Part 61 far aim/ it is required that the student make at least three touch and go's in shorts before first solo/

  • It will be a 1st officer (co pilot) learning landings on a new type or currency, its all part of flight training.

  • is a glassed -5 pilot could fly airbus?

  • man that looks like fun!!

  • cold you tell me what airport that was and can you tell me what is the airport ID

    thxs

  • i fort toch amd go was taking off

  • its a touch an go..self explanatory on the title

  • is this included in the type rating ?

  • Why did they took off again??

  • he probably was too fast

  • well.... as the title and description read..... this was a touch and go landing, a normal part of training (or just quick flying hehe).

  • Because it's a training landing inclued in the airbus training programm so they took off again to continue to train.

  • this is a touch and go pilots in training do this to practise landing and taking off so that is why he took off again

  • why do they do it in real when transporting something?

  • they don't transport anything the plane is empty

  • i know its empty, but what does touch and go helps pilots or planes in real, when they are transporting?

  • it helps pilots

  • for what, it is easier to land and again to fly off then just to fly away with no landing?

  • no they eventually land after like 4 circuits

  • refly? not landing?

  • ops I delated the comment instead of answering anyways the 10 5 call is the altitude against the ground, also called radar altitude

  • @Laus247 heh...I hope that this is the last time you pressed the wrong button captain... :-)

    nice vid!

  • retard?

  • eheeheh I know it sounds silly but it means to retard the thrust levers... it wasn't a judgement about the pilots :)

  • LOL ok

  • it would be funny if the plane called the pilots retards if they landed to hard.

  • LMFAO, that would he hilarious..

  • @Laus247

    yup ... RETARD is a french word means LATE .... in general ... put the thrust into idle

  • since there is so many pilots(i m not one) ard in this comment area, i wld like to ask a burning question. it is abt nose gear n heavy crosswind landings. at the end of a crab approach, where the pilot applies opp rudder(kickin the crab) of the direction of the crosswind to align the a/c to the runway, wouldnt the nose gear be pointing at a direction other than the direction of the runway? wont this spoil the nose wheel?

  • Bickering? I am merely talking, and you are "bickering". You are not even a real pilot, and here you are talking as if you have 4 stripes on your shoulders. Facts are facts, there is no way to change that unless you are wrong about them.But hey,let me answer your questions since I AM A REAL PILOT.

    The rudder on heavier jets is not connected to the nose wheel. For the nose wheel they have a something called a "tiller" to steer the plane. I hope i answered your burning question mr. nice guy.

  • how abt light a/c?

  • Hello again. Light a/c it is a little different. Believe it or not the rudder pedals actually have little effect on the nose wheel!Aerodynamically it steers very well using only rudder deflection while taxiing, and at lower speeds you can use differential breaking as well.

    When talking about de-crabbing,you will use the aileron in conjunction with the rudder to control the roll tendency.On light a/c the "wing low" method is prefered at high xwind to reduce side load on the main gears.Cheers!

  • ok thanks.

  • and for your information, a debate does involve facts. one that doesnt involve facts or reasoning is probably called bickering.

  • cool video by the way!

  • with this additional 20 degrees of AOA, ur a/c ll either climb or stall due to turbulant flow(15 degrees AOA is pretty max for all a/c).SO, the other way out is to make ur wing point down further. since the wing is pretty fixed to the fuselage, the nose of the a/c will point down as well.

  • n one more thing, extending(lowering) of flaps not only gives u more drag so tt u wont accelerate when u r approaching down to the runway, it also serves as lowering the nose with respect to the natural horizon during the approach so that e pilot can have a better view of the runway. and how this happen?chord of wing is defined as e straight line frm leading to trailing edge of wing, lets say 5 degrees of AOA is needed for e approach, lowering of e flaps ll give u additional 20 degrees perhaps

  • Hello,this shouldn't be called a "debate" because it has to do with facts. Please read what I wrote a bit more carefully to the initial reply. I know what AOA is,thanks. Read what was INITIALLY said. He stated that it is normal procedure to fly straight and level 3-5 degrees NOSE DOWN. Meaning, BELOW the horizon. Now, does that make sense Mr. Pilot man? When you apply forward pressure, the elevators are lowered,this decreases the angle of attack of the wings! Boy, so much hostility in here!

  • theoretically speaking, an a/c can fly straight n lvl even with a nose-down(slight) attitude. this is because manufacturers make their a/c with an inherent angle of incidence. so if the a/c is flying fast enought, the lift generated by the aerofoil shld be sufficient to counter the weight of the a/c.

  • people, regarding the debate abt attitude of a/c during approach, it is highly dependent on many factors like weight of a/c, headwind component, crosswind component. approach speed. hence it is not fixed.

  • Woops!! I think that alarm when the plane just took off was a warning for a stall...

  • Woops you are terribly wrong, there is no such allarm on the A320 in normal law.

    Study study

  • I am not afirming or asuming anything, my dear friend. I said that I "THINK" that it was a warning for a stall.

    You don't need to be sarcastic, geez.

  • I didn't what to seem sarcastic, sorry for that, the allarm was for the out of trim condition after the application of take off power (the plane was empty).

    On an A320 there is no stall warning because it can't stall if all the system are working.

  • Well, misanderstandings happen.

    Anyway, thanks for enlightening me with the alarm and, by the way, good vid.

  • Great vid and great job!!! I hope to be there in about 8-9 years after school and gaining enough hours. Thanks for it!!!

  • GRANDEEEEE !!!

  • is this a flight simulator or a real plane?

  • Real plane

  • from yokes to joysticks in 80 years

  • side-stick. joystick is wat u use for ms flight sim

  • you don't actually flare when you land. you come in at 5-6 degrees nose down and slightly raise to 4 degrees before you touch down. landing a large jet a/c is completely different to landing a piston a/c

  • No, you still flare either way. They are actually quite similar. 5-6 degrees nose down? That must be a hell of a descent rate, you usually keep maybe 2.5 - 3 degrees nose UP on the glide path! And raising the nose to a nose high attitude IS called a flare :) piston or jet, the laws of aerodynamics remain the same

  • Mike, no you don't. It is the ground effect. You fly one of these 3-4 degrees nose down in the cruise for cry sakes. Next time you're on a large jet, you have a look. As i said to slbenfica, i have flown one so i think i do know what i am talking about.

  • LOL

    You have to be joking! 5-6 degrees nose down on landing. It normally is 3 degrees NOSE UP! If pilots would fly like you say the human being would become a species in danger of extinction.

    Please get your facts right.Mike is completely correct. The laws of aerodynamics are the same. Only some things change because the speed is different, reverse, spoilers, flaps, etc.

  • My facts are correct. I have flown the damn thing otherwise i wouldn't have said it! It is to do with ground effect not aerodynamics, i suggest you look that up.

  • You have flown these? I don't doubt you, because we all have access to flight simulators. But in real life it is different - I'm a pilot. If you fly nose down you create a negative angle of attack, forcing the air to push your aircraft down (IMPOSSIBLE for an A320 to stay in cruise at 4 degrees nose down) Only helicopters can do that!

  • Mike i'm not getting into an argument with you over this. You come in at 5-6 degrees nose down and put it down on the deck at approx 4 degrees nose down. This is a flare, any increase in AOA is a flare! You are a pilot, bollocks. Negative AOA, what are you talking about. Anyone knows, who flies for that matter than in a jet you fly a negative AOA in the cruise to maintain straight and level flight. It's the down force on the tail plane that keeps the thing level not the wings.

  • WRONG. I used to calculate mass and balance for REAL planes at an intl airport. The vast majority of flights require a slightly aft centre of gravity to make the aircraft more aerodynamic by flying a nose up attitude. Only airlines like Ryanair who choose convienience over cost choose otherwise. Using the rear elevon/elevator to keep the nose level increases drag and burns alot more fuel. From central England to the Irish coast YOUR method would burn ~ 1/2ton of extra fuel

  • dude, how did u pass ur aerodynamics? u ve got all the forces wrong.

  • this is solely for mikearuba,just in case this appears right at the top. i sincerely think u shld review on ur ground sch notes on aerodynamics once more. angle of attack is the angle between chord(line) of the wing and relative direction of travel of the a/c. u will still ve postive angle of attack even with nose down attitude, provided u hold ur control column steady.

  • whats wrong with a nose down attitude during approach? just as long the pilot flares on touchdown, its ok. when in doubt, always try to visualise the four forces acting on the aircraft at any time during flight;weight,lift, drag,thrust.

    any net torque or net force between the interaction of these 4 forces will either cause a rotation or acceleration. if these 4 forces balance out perfectly, the aircraft will br moving in a particular direction with constant speed(constant velocity).

  • very nice landing...very nice flare...the configuration warning horn (master warning) briefly sounds while the flaps retract to 2 takeoff position...very nice maneuver...

  • thats in a pilot trainin simulator

  • NO that's real life, a sim would look really way different.

  • just lovely...I love this type of video...

  • dove hai svolto il type rating sull'a320? ho sentito che parlavate in italiano nel video...

  • Where can i find the Gpws for fs 2004!? A320 the best!

  • man...I just can't wait to do it myself!!!

    BTW great vid, thanks.

  • Looks, like the end of a low low-vis pattern. Looks like 15° bank even at 200'...

    nice video anyway! ;-)

  • Bellissimo!

  • 2 malakes

  • It's greek !!

  • just wondering since i want 2 become a pilot why do you do touch and goes?

  • It's the final stage to get a rating on a commercial jet

  • ok ty oh and Good Job :)

  • Nice Job, What airline/country is this?

  • What happened with established @ 500ft? :P Nice landing!

  • which 1 are u ??

  • why did they decide to take off again? was something wrong?

  • Just touch and goes for training

  • What was that master warning for?

  • Out of trim, due to the fact that the plane resets the trim after touching with all the weels

  • fantastico!! ..io ora sono ancora al liceo scientifico però alla fine di questo mi sono già prefissato di prendermi l'atpl!!!..in che aeroporto eravate? con l'a320 di che compagnia? ciao e grazie!!

  • ciao, che aeroporto?

  • can you flyed

  • are  you a piolet now?

  • That was a traing flight we are speeking Italian

  • cool
