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 ...

@gh0stop It's the trim.
-
@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.
-
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?
-
@1kleineMax1 prob the pilot flying was a bit lazy and decide to switch if off then. Its really up to pilot discretion.
-
@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

@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.
-
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?
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

@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.

@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.
