41 minuts to explain Airbus hydralic system, I tought, it is too much, you dont need it!!! But now, you changed my mind, 41' is to little!!! Great video, enjoyed every minute!!!
On a far, far smaller scale, the hydraulic systems on the fork lift trucks we work with are under high enough pressure, so much so when a pipe bursts on the lines the thin jet can pierce skin. Add to the fact hydraulic fluid is extremely deadly! Scary but very useful stuff.
When I was an aircraft fueler, we had notices on every wall of our office about how scary a hydraulic leak was and what to do (GTFO and notify flight crew immediately). Loss of limb not unheard of
oh yes, it is really beautiful .. i am still overwhelmed how nice those reflections and lighting effects and the weather engine look. but if i want to be nitpicking, there is one thing i noticed ... you would be supposed to see the aircraft reflected on the engine when watching from the cabin instead of just the scenery ;)
Many thanks for taking the time to explain these complicated systems for all us techie nerds! Great instructional technique as usual. (Hope the regular flying is picking up too)
Thanks Yiannis! I wish I could describe the f-16 hydraulics!

By far the most complete and comprehensive explanation of the hydrolics system of the bus, excellent work! Thanks so much! Additionally, great job of the FBW team by modeling the hydrolics system to that almost complete extent.
Never thought I'd get so into the systems of the aircraft when I started playing flight simulator, yet here I am. Your videos are great, really informative but easy for us laymen to understand. Please keep them coming!
Great, I've watched this video twice now, because it's so much information. First exposure to hydraulics in aviation for me. Very interesting. Keep these coming, they're awesome.
Excellent video again! You did a fantastic job explaining at what for me is a perfect level. When I saw FBW were working on hydraulic system modelling I was like "meh - would rather have holds working" and just ignored it. Now I'm fascinated and see another thing to bore my friends with about this sim :-) (Would still like holds implemented as even the Heavy Division 787 seems to have a solid capability there) More like this please - brings it all alive for me.
Absolutely stonking vid. All those pax who sit in the back have no appreciation of what goes on with the aircraft systems. Years ago I saw an undercarriage retraction jack pipe rupture in the hangar during retraction functionals and the mess is considerable and the very reason why everyone stands back. Thanks for the very detailed run through..
BAe146-301 flying out of Cranfield, UK when a hydraulic pipe ruptured. That makes quite a distinct sound too as the pump tries to pressurise an empty system! Kind of like it was screaming...
Before I start watching, can you do a full cold start + flight video with the latest dev of the A32nx? Not a tutorial, just go through everything as one should.
There it is! We need a new intro once FS2020 has a better camera system/once the captain masters his camera work... ++ A32NX is not a mod for the Default neo anymore right? It's now a standalone...
@@320SimPilot haha.. nice to know... and I've seen you on the Fenix Sim discord, are you an Alpha tester? and are we gonna see Felix sim content on this channel once it's out?
Again a great video and amazing explanation of the PTU 👍🏻👏🏻. Just one question (19:35), what is the reason the PTU won’t run with parking brake on? Thanks!
@@tomstravels520 OK yes I see it now from 32:30m - I didn't realise he had switched given the livery of aircraft is same but get it now. Hope we see the same level of realism inc the RAT in A320nx one day ..
Think of the hyd acc as a balloon. When any hyd pp is running the balloon is being blown up to 3000 psi. When the system fails the balloon still has 3000 psi to put back into the system. Great if the failure is a pump. It gives some reserve pressure. Not so great if it is a burst more spill.
I wonder if it was cheaper to fit the PTU instead of just adding another electric pump to the green system as a back up. They did it for the A330 and A340 where all pumps have engine or electric pumps then green also has RAT
amazing video sir thanks 3000 psi that's insane so much info brilliant nice to see it simulated as well what a great aircraft so if your powering both systems from the flight deck ptu bark nose in cabin bark might be heard is that correct please so if 2 systems failed would only one side of the elevator work would that give you a roll rate
Fantastic having watched this video and all the Fenix stuff I am beginning to understand the hydraulic system. I was sitting opposite the wing on an A320 once watching the ailerons. They did not move perceptibly at all only the spoilers on top of the wing moved.I assume there were no failures. Do the ailerons only come in to play when you roll a lot?
Right at the beginning I'm already stuck, I can only click on the ENG and FUEL buttons on the center panel. Can't even click on any of the other like hydraulics etc
Just a quick question not directly related to this vid. Does the A32NX now include top of descent calculation? I asked back in like January and was told "soon". But haven't had the time to fly MSFS for more than 6 months now.
I was wondering this too - I still have trouble getting the A320nx to properly follow descent profile in FMC after importing from SimBrief and setting STAR
The current Hydraulics simulation is just the basic simulation, but they are planning to simulate each actuator as well in the future. It just takes a lot of time to accuratly simmulate such a thing with realistic numbers. You might have to redo this video in a few months if it is completed
Great video - but question at 36:30m how are you getting the custom inside cabin view ?? I can only use the Preset Showcase Camera Modes for the two passenger seat views ??
What could be my problem if the fbw doesn’t climb all the way, and it’s 200 feet short, and the altitude starts blinking? I change altimeter at transition altitude to standard.
Not sure where to ask this question; I hope 320 Sim Pilot reads old entries :) Does anyone know why when trying to set the arrival (before descent and flying on course normally) the A32NX loses is position and starts to do a turn off track? Thanks
Thank you for this video! But what happens if you lose hydraulic fluid in all three systems (as has happened in the past). Can we still control the plane with the thrust of the engines and land without too much damage?
@@tomstravels520 That makes sense. I always thought they did it from the moment they started the takeoff, because you can only run on toga thrust for 5 minutes if I'm not mistaking. But then again they could just reset it at takeoff I guess? :D
@@Byzzon I have the elapsed time start from pushback to parking and the Captain Chrono running from TOGA to off the runway. Then use the chrono in the centre for anything else like a circling approach timing
Chrono is used to time each engine start, restarted for each. After the second engine is running it is restarted to time the warm up. At takeoff it is restarted again to time the takeoff thrust. Hope this helps!
@@320SimPilot yes. The EHA’s or EHBA’s installed in some of the control surfaces. A mini hydraulic circuit where the fluid is isolated from the main system I believe
I never noticed the green ring just inside the engine inlet for the left engine. Is there a yellow ring inside the right engine inlet also? Just wondering.
Hi, curious at work when we dispatch flights pilots always start with engine 2. It's there any particular reason for this or is it just company procedure?
@@Hyperr0209 no he’s talking about the Toliss A319 and A321 in Xplane. Although apart from the current A319 nose cone I don’t know what he’s talking about. It all looks fine to me
The ToLiss visual model is very accurate and functional, but of course the MSFS aircraft always look stunning! I suspect with the new X Plane lighting system we will see the ToLiss looking very nice in X Plane
Guess it's because they're now developing more complex systems. The first updates dealt with all the things wrong with the default aircraft. A lack of stable updates is more than likely a very good thing, considering the near daily updates to the development build 🙂
That happened to United Airlines Flight 232, and impressively enough they managed to land by using the engines to control yaw, pitch, and roll. There were lots of fatalities, though the fact anyone survived, is incredible.
The only plausible way I can think of to lose all 3 systems and have no use of the RAM turbine is some kind of catastrophic engine failure resulting in an explosion and/or the fan blades coming loose and severing the hydraulic lines. As you can imagine, you've got a fair bit more than just the hydraulics to worry about in that scenario
@@tomstravels520 thats what I would like to know - I cannot get my A320nx to properly follow descent profile in FMC most times it descends to shallow - is this related to lack of T/D calc ?
@@Speckled10 mostly likely. It needs to be able to calculate a profile where it will hit speed and altitude constraints, slow down with enough time and the 250 Limit at 10,000ft
@@tomstravels520 Yes but everyone always refers to that part of the autopilot as VNAV since, its not a real aircraft and were just talking about simulators.
@@Speckled10 Because it isnt in the sim yet, there isnt an aircraft in the sim with a full proper working autopilot and FMC (aside from the CRJ, but that is a fairly simple system)
So the reality is..... It's all very nicely programmed in, visually it shows correct, but ultimately it's all just smoke mirrors as even though it shows as failed, there is no pressure in the failed systems, the failed systems still work!! Think I'll be keeping X-Plane for a lot longer..
The depth of the modeling in this is quite incredible. Hats off to the fbw team
They are doing an amazing job for us!
