  • I wonder why the landing lights aren't visible in the clouds and fog? Could it be that they do not put it on for the landing in low visibility so that they don't get disoriented?

  • @a340x the landing lights are (in swiss) activated when stabilized, latest then.

    Good Thought, but its standart ops to have landing lights, strobeand NAV Lights on for landing, if the pilots like it or not.I remember that in that landing the fog was so thick, the lower we got the better it got :)

    greets, dom

  • thats some serious flying right there JA?

  • @alnilam66 very serious :)

    That callout is "reminding" the crew to take the Autothrust from the climb detend to Idle.The Autothrust will continue to maintain the speed if you dont reduce the thrust to Idle and you will end up flying with the landing speed at flare height.

    hope it helped , thx for commenting!

    cheers

  • Excellent! Eifach schön, zum Schwiizerdütsch ghöre im Cockpit. Top videos dnhug!
