Sights and sounds from the cockpit of the US Airways 1549 ditching into the Hudson in a A320 Simulator. Kudos to Capt. Sully and his entire flight crew.

  • The sim is $15 million dollars. The procedure start an engine is 3 steps.

  • I'm assuming that was in real time? You guys did good. Where did you borrow the sim from. I would give my left nut to get a chance to fly one of those.

  • I work in the sim shop.

  • just after the bird impact both left and right hand seat PFD and MFD go off momentarily, but why did it take so long for the right hand PFD and MFD to come back online? is it a sim glitch or would that actually happen, because i would have thought that the APU would still be running and therefore no significant electrical disruption would occur. any thoughts?

  • We did the scenario a couple of times at first with the APU on and then without. I'm sure they would have still had there APU running.

  • These "amateurs" are people who know their work. This was a technical reconstruction of cockpit events. Not a TV drama.

  • @sevendst do you have a A340 or A380?

  • @blitzkriegvonbristow the APU hogs fuel, so its normally turned up except during a loss of power, AFTER the engines die out

  • at this time, there isnt time for pilots to keep pushing that Master Warning and Master Caution light. CAPT is in charge of flying and the FO needs to relight engines as quick as possible instead of just pushing the reset buttons a bunch of times

  • It called you a retard for landing in the river.

  • @sevendst He said in the TV interview he didnt start the APU till after the strike

  • Great vid! Just a nitpick: the engines were windmilling fast enough so they never had a power or hyd interruption. They were in normal law all the way until impact.

  • @clopium You don'y just turn the keys and fire up the engine on an aircraft. There are many systems which need to be tended to.

  • @yscreth55 Try a couple of thousand. Many Flight Simulator users have constructed their own sim now.

  • @bktodc you and me both
