A320 cockpit landing at LPLA (Lajes), Terceira island.

Landing at LPLA with vectors for ILS approach runway 33 in a beautiful Airbus 320. The ceiling was at 1000 ft, as you can see in the video with the radio altimeter call. Thank you very much to the fantastic crew who made one of the happiest moments of my life. Cheers

@roy89321 The first three (louder) chimes mean "autopilot off", the following three short peeps mean "autothrust off".

auto pilot disengage i believe

You all failed, the sound at 2:51 is only the "autopilot off" signal and the three peeps shortly after means that the approach was not completed by the computer and that the pilots prefered to do it manually... You would have heard 3 another peeps for autothrust off

@macmab, Yes it does in raw data and in direct law

@macmab74 Hi, I'm a real Airbus A320 pilot and the three short peeps are part of the over-all signal that the Autopilot is disengaged the Airbus A320 "NEVER" flies without Autothrottle as it uses a FADEC system to manage the engines all the time, the only time we use Manual throttle is while on ground. No offense meant just clearing this up :)

@shagadelicmilkman maybe it's because the captain activated weather and the f/o terrain ;)

[shagadelicmilkman]

has anyone noticed on the captains side there is a big weather system on screen but on the copilots side theres almost nothing?

@SuperApple1995. Any degradation of mode will cause it, for example if you pull heading, the aeroplane is no longer capable of maintaining a managed climb/descent so it will revert into open climb or open descent. Although in this case, you're spot on!

[SuperApple1995]

@miller298 yes nearly, it means that the Conditions required for CAT3/CAT2 are no longer fulfilled, but your explanation is well too ;)

[miller298]

@macmab74 The triple clicks after the three chimes just mean that there has been a degradation in modes. Autothrust is still in.

[artaza99]

when at landing he says 50 ... 40... 30 ... 20 ... retard reatard retard

[alehead]

The three louder chimes are autopilot disconnect... the three pips afterwards are an indication of the downgrade of CATIII to CATI landing. It has nothing to do with the autothrust setting, as the autothrust button (middle of the FCU, below the two AP buttons) remains on until 20ft RA (then retard retard...)
