Thank you! The good thing is that I also like my videos now much better than my videos from a few months ago. I try to continue the improvement process. Have a nice day!
Well done Captain for adding the ND. I can see, though, the challenge that it gave you - the reflections, and the need to correct for the angle of the camera. I did notice was that the PFD was a lot less clear than in your previous video. In an ideal world, having both would be wonderful. If quality it is a compromise, I would personally vote for a clear PFD on its own, rather than a blurry PFD alongside the ND. The overall standard of your videos continues to be excellent - always something interesting to see! Thank you , as ever.
Thank you so much for the very detailed feedback! The final goal is a good picture of the PFD and the ND. I will continue on this "project" until the result is good. What we see in this video is just an intermediate step on the way. There is - for sure - lots of room for improvement. Please stay tuned. Have a great day!
So nice to be able to follow real procedures while trying to transition from PMDG 73NG to Fenix A320 in the simulator. Thank you for the excellent content!
Was nice to see on 01:05 my glider club airfield Reinsdorf (EDOD) (the field right after the forest) and on 05:25 Schönhagen (EDAZ). Hello to everyone who flies on these fields.
PFD und ND, klasse! Deine Videos sind super und deinen Landung zuzusehen macht richtig Spaß. Ich freu mich schon auf die nächsten Clips! Blue skies and happy landings!
Fabulous video again. Like the inclusion of the ND as well. Followed it all on my Navigraph charts, and going to try all these approaches on the Sim. Learning lots, so keep them coming... Thanks.
Good morning Captain, great video again and thanks for adding the ND. In order to minimize respectice prevent the reflections on the ND the usage of a polarization filter (Polfilter) in front of the camera lens might be helpful. As I don't know which cameras you are using and whether they are capable of mounting those kind of filters, please take it just as a little hint from my side. Many greetings and have a nice weekend. 😀
Thanks for watching and the detailed feedback and suggestions! I am working right now on a different camera location. But in addition, I will get a polfilter and try if this helps to reduce the reflections. Thank you again! Have a nice day!
I agree! The First Officer did a wonderful job! Even during manual flight, he kept all the parameters exactly where they should be. Without deviations.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! MCDU and the ECAM pages may be interesting for several viewers. But I do not want to overload the final picture. I continue trying to optimize the videos.
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das Feedback! Es wird sicher das eine oder andere Startvideo kommen. Das kann jedoch noch einen Moment dauern. Ich bitte deshalb noch um Geduld.
Sehr nice. Vlt nur diese draufsicht von vorne weg lassen.Also das kleine Bild oben über den Co kann man gerne weglassen. Nur Capt. PFD plus ND und der Co. sonst wirkt das etwas überladen
Danke fürs sehr konstruktive Feedback! Ich denke auch, es wirkt ziemlich voll. Aber die Wirkung hängt auch davon ab, ob man es auf einem großen 4k Fernseher oder auf einem kleinen Handy anschaut. Vielleich gibt es noch mehr Einschätzungen dazu. Ich bin da sehr offen. Von anderen wurde mir gesagt, dass sie den Blick von vorn gerne weiter sehen wollen. Ist halt nicht so einfach, alle Perspektiven und Interessen gut auf einem Bild unterzubringen. Aber ich arbeite gerne weiter daran. Mir gefallen die Ergebnisse heute auch viel besser als die von vor einigen Monaten.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Unfortunately we are right below the SID of 25L, so we have you and your colleagues right above at about 2500 ft when departing from Berlin - so we are always happy when 07L/R is active and we can watch you from the side descending on the glidepath with much less noise ;-)
Thanks for the good feedback! Usually the reasons for cuts like this are temporary technical issues with the video stream from one of the important cameras.
Thanks a lot for your very good videos ! It looks to me like the transition altitude on the map is 5000 feet. So I'm guessing in your case it's ATC ordering you to set it to 1022 ?
Thanks for the kind words. If ATC clears us in the descent to an altitude instead of a level, they will tell in addition the correct local altimeter setting. This is also available on the automatic ATIS announcement. Have a nice day.
Super cool and also interesting video once again and a good solution to record the ND by the way!✈️👨✈️🤩 I' ve spotted your channel a few days ago and watched almost every Video since then because they are just too good! :) As i am also a member of the Group you are flying for, i am kindly asking if it is possible to join you on a trip on the Jumpseat? Do you have any other social media account where i can get in contact with you? All the best!
Thanks for watching and your friendly words! Thanks for your question. Years ago, we had on almost any flight passengers and other interested people on the jumpseat. Due to very strict security regulations, this is completely impossible today. We get this question very often, but we always have to say: No, sorry, not possible. One of the reasons why I started this channel is to show interested people what we do on the flight deck without the need of being in person on the flight deck. You find contact details at the end of the videos or on the information page of my channel. Have a nice day!
Might sound like a really stupid question, I noticed you approached over a windfarm do they cause any air disturbance? I'm guessing they are not allowed to be built too close to airports (or approach routes) but could they make a difference
Great question! They may cause air disturbance in close proximity. But I do not think that they may cause disturbances in the altitudes we fly over or near them. Usually they are not allowed to be built near a runway.
At EDDB, when leaving the gate, is request for pushback and startup two separate things? I noticed on your taxi to the gate that another pilot requested pushback (but no startup). Normally I hear both at once.
Good observation. Startup is given by ATC controllers on the "delivery" frequency together with the ATC clearance. Pushback clearance is granted by "apron". They are responsible for the parking positions and taxiways near the parking positions.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Is that the normal across Europe, or special for EDDB/Germany or select airports? And when startup is included in delivery's clearance, does that mean you startup at the gate, and get pushed back with running engines, or do you still wait with startup until getting pushed?
Thanks for your feedback! That helps. Yes, there is a chance. It may take a moment, but there will be one or the other takeoff and climb video in the future.
VLS stands for „lowest selectable speed“. It is the lowest speed the airplane will fly with the autothrust engaged. Even if you dial in a lower speed, the plane will not fly slower than VLS. The VLS is depending on the present airplane weight and is the basis for the speed target calculation during our approach. In the Airbus which we used, there are 2 different sources for the VLS. One VLS is indicated on the MCDU and one on the PFD. It is the top of the amber line in the speed scale (you can see it in the video). The MCDU-PFD is calculated on the basis of the zero fuel weight which we entered from the loadsheet. To this weight, the weight of the current fuel on board is added and the VLS is calculated on the basis of that weight. The PFD VLS is calculated on the basis of an independent weight calculation which the airplane is doing (FAC computer) on the basis of aerodynamical data (angle of attack measurement …) and the entered CG value from the loadsheet. During the final approach when we are in landing configuration, we check both speed indications. If the PFD VLS is higher than the MCDU VLS, we add that difference manually to the approach speed in the MCDU. This is done because the MCDU approach speed is the basis of the approach speed target calculation of the autoflight system.
Great video thanks a lot. I noticed some carriers turn off the auto-throttle early in the approach, as you did, while others keep it on and manage the speed all the way to landing. What is the advantage of turning it off?
Thanks for watching! And thanks for your question. Airbus recommends using the autothrust during all phases of flight. Also, every Airbus pilot needs to be proficient flying the approach with manual thrust. Every Airline has own procedures and ideas about that topic. I like the autothrust and prefer to land with autothrust on. Nevertheless, I do approaches with autothrust off on a regular basis to stay current. This is a topic for a very long discussion. To make it short: The pilots who prefer autothrust off want to have the complete control and make a thrust input often together with a back or forward imput at the stick. The autothrust-on pilots like the idea that the airplane always flies a safe speed on its own. They also know that changes in pitch are usually followed by an automatic change in thrust. To avoid big changes in thrust, flying a very constant descent rate helps a lot.
Thanks for watching and for your question! The pilot flying decides if he flies the approach with autothrust on or off. We need to be proficient doing it both ways.
@@yes-ni1od I get that, at Lufthansa e.g. they land with Autothrust on most of the time, I think, but what's the fun in that, right;) And the Airbus is basically a point and shoot aircraft, so maintaining speed by hand is very easy. And of course the Pilots need to stay sharp with their landing skills, in case the computer is not around anymore to support, so I think it's good to practice and get a feel for it as much as possible.
Thanks for watching and the question. The pilot flying decides if she or he wants to use the autothrust for the landing. We must be able to fly the approach with autothrust on and off. So we have to do both on a regular basis to be proficient. Airbus recommends the use of autothrust during all phases of flight. Even during manual flight.
Amazing that you added a camera for the navigation display, these videos have such high quality. Thanks!
Nice to hear that you like the video with the ND. Have a nice day!

Just a thought any chance of a takeoff and climb video
Thanks for your feedback! That helps. Yes, there is a chance. It may take a moment, but there will be one or the other takeoff and climb video in the future.
Can you help explain the Vls speed check on landing. Cannot remember why it's done, nor how to do it. Thanks.

Why do you use manuel thrust in your approaches?

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank u for reply
Why did he switch to manual throttle for the landing??
Eurowings SOPs I suppose. At Eurowings it is usual to fly manual Thrust and Flight as much as possible, as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@florianmisof1988 Fair enough, I would much rather trust a computer to maintain speed than a human though
