Due to several requests, I published this video from the flight back from EDI to DUS. I apologize for the bad stabilization of the PFD/ND screens. This is not the standard of the channel and is usually much better. There are some interesting events: 1:14:13 an ECAM message with a system fault shows up and is handled by the crew 0:56:01 The First Officer who is a member of the pilot selection team describes very detailed the airline pilot selection and assessment process and gives very valuable information for possible applicants. Please make sure to watch also my other full flight videos: ruclips.net/p/PLa2FUXnb0gRDxTwj--G07ivQQ80pe2eG4 In most of them the cameras are much better stabilized than in this video.
Thanks for your good feedback! And thank you very much for your financial support of the channel! Such long multicamera videos would be impossible without the support of the members! Have a great day!
Dear Captain first of all thank you for a superb video as always saturday doesn t disappoint, I finished flight training on august 1st and passed the first two steps of the selection process afterwards. Its been 3 months since applying and 2 weeks now since the screening and I wonder if you know why the process takes so long although there is a big shortage. Two former flight school colleagues of mine passed the screening in May and just signed their contract, but the typeratimg starts in spring and summer 2025. Is there not enough training personal at EW or what is the reason:) Im quite curious since I want to join EW and I am waiting for the last step without any feedback unless the approval that I passed the screening. Have a great weekend, you may contact me per Mail if you want to-schönes Rest Wochenende!😊
Thanks for sharing your good feedback! Congratulations to you! Great to hear that you have passed the first 2 steps of the pilot selection process! The typerating training takes a while and training capacities are limited. I am not a spokesperson for the company or the training or HR department. But my understanding is that waiting times are always a possibility due to capacity reasons. And this is true for all airlines. I wish you a short waiting time and all the best for you aviation career! Alles Gute und weiterhin viel Erfolg!
I love the discipline of using the checklists. Especially the after-landing. It's only one item and easy enough to remember, but the First Officer in every video pulls it up to see and read it every time.
Ich möchte dir ein riesiges Kompliment für diesen Kanal aussprechen! Euer Kanal ist für mich die erste Adresse, wenn es um spannende, detaillierte und unglaublich professionell gefilmte Flugaufnahmen geht. Es ist beeindruckend, mit wie viel Leidenschaft und Präzision ihr die verschiedenen Flughäfen und auch die Flugmanöver in Szene setzt. Besonders schätze ich die Vielfalt der gezeigten Szenen - von den spektakulären Landeanflügen bis hin zu den kraftvollen Starts. Man merkt, dass hinter jedem Video eine große Liebe zur Luftfahrt steckt. Dank dir kann man als Zuschauer die Faszination des Fliegens hautnah miterleben, und das auf eine Art und Weise, die sowohl technisch interessierte als auch einfach nur luftfahrtbegeisterte Menschen begeistert. Bitte mach weiter so! Dein Kanal ist eine echte Bereicherung für alle Flugenthusiasten und Luftfahrt-Fans. Vielen Dank für diese großartige Arbeit und ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere beeindruckende Videos!
Vielen lieben Dank für das ausführliche und tolle Feedback und die finanzielle Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied! Das freut mich natürlich sehr! Bei mir ist die Liebe zum Fliegen und die Liebe zum schönen Video sehr ausgeprägt. Manchmal ist das allerdings auch sehr anstrengend. Insbesondere, wenn ich glaube, dass ich am eigentlich fertigen Video noch das eine oder andere verbessern kann. Das dauert dann oft endlos lange und fällt später nur ins Auge, wenn man genau hinschaut. Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag!
You guys amaze me! I did not know you have to deal with the minutiae of broken toilets and galley problems in addition to the important job of actually flying the aircraft. Awesome! 👍
Thank you so much for your great feedback and for financially supporting the channel! Yes, broken toilets and galley problems are also parts of our job. We have to document these things in the electronic technical logbook. Subsequently, the entries are transferred to maintenance and they repair it. We also have to check if we can fly with a technical malfunction or / and if we are restricted somehow. For example, a broken seatbelt at a passenger seat would make this seat unusable for passengers.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your good feedback! Have a nice day and: Please tell everybody about the channel! Thanks again in advance for your support!
Thank you so much for your great feedback! Nice to hear that you enjoyed the information about the selection process! Also, thank you very much for your financial support of the channel as a member! Without the financial support of the members, fullflight videos would be impossible! have a good day!
Wie immer ein sehr schönes Video. Die haben immer was entspanntes beim zuschauen. Ich würde mich freuen wenn bald mal wieder ein Video auf deutsch kommen könnte. Mach(t) weiter so!
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Es gibt viele Zuschauer, die kein Deutsch sprechen oder verstehen. Sie verstehen allerdings Englisch. Und die deutschsprachigen Zuschauer verstehen auch (fast) alle Englisch. Es wird sicher immer mal wieder ein deutschsprachiges Video geben. Vielleicht trenne ich auch in Zukunft einen deutschsprachigen Kanal ab. Der ist dann reserviert für ausschließlich deutschsprachige Videos und entsprechende Beschreibungen. Wie fändest Du das denn?
I really enjoy these videos. Extremely well made and very informative. The only problem I have is hearing what the pilots are saying to each other when there is a lot of radio chatter.
Thank you so much for your good and helpful feedback! I am sorry about the difficulties to understand what we say. The videos do not contain separate ATC recordings or so. They just contain the original audio from the cockpit which is exactly the same what we hear in our headsets. I cannot change the different volume levels in post production. I only can make it louder or less loud in total. Right now, I am working on a solution to reduce the noise to almost zero. This may make it easier to understand what we say. Please stay tuned! Have a nice day!
Well, I'm not an Airbus driver, but I am a bus driver, and the first thing we do if we get an electrical fault - turn it off, turn it on again, or in the vernacular, RESET! Thank you so much for this one Stefan. I really do enjoy watching your videos, and due to partaking in a particular hobby, they help a lot. Happy flying!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your interesting feedback! I think computer resets are something which everybody has to do once in a while who works with electronic systems which contain some kind of hard and software. The Airbus houses lots of computers for the various systems. Almost everything is somehow controlled and monitored by different computers. Important is that this are different computers and not one large computer. For example, the flight controls are driven by 7! different independent computers. The software engineers also designed the computers in a way that the monitoring system uses another CPU and another computer language than the controlling system.
I've been on this route, but with another airline, and years ago. Thanks for the memories. You were given 05, but DUS approaches to 23 from the NW often fly right over my roof (near Essen Stadtzentrum) before intercepting the localizer. Schönes Doku, und danke fürs Mitfliegen. Vielen Dank.
Bit tight with the strawberries. I eat a whole punnet myself....smothered in double cream, of course. Excellent video as usual, with a beautiful view of the blue sky and the blue sea, separated on the horizon by a thin line of white cloud. Stunning! You pilots have the best job in the world with the best view you can get from an "office" window.
Thanks for watching and for your great feedback! I agree, we have the best job in the world with the best views from our "office"-windows! Have a nice day!
In den meisten Videos fragen sie immer oft ob rolling Start okay ist, ich persönlich liebe rolling starts. Super Videos wie immer weiter hin guten Flug 👍
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Standard ist, dass wir am Anfang der Bahn stehen bleiben, in die Bremsen treten und 50 % N1 setzen. Wenn die 50 % N1 auf beiden Triebwerken erreicht sind, gehen wir aus den Bremsen und beginnen den Startlauf. Allerdings ist es alternativ auch zulässig, einen "rolling takeoff" zu machen. Das sollten wir in der Crew natürlich absprechen. Einen schönen Tag noch!
@ApproachandDepartureVideos vielen Dank für den ausführlichen und informativen Ablauf des Starts und take offs, weiterhin schönen Abend und guten Flug 👍
Wow 1hr30 minutes and we never hear how the strawberries were?!? Seriously though, amazing info on this one and lovely approach turning just above the clouds and then descending through the clouds. Great video thanks!
Wieder ein brillantes Video vom Abflug in Edinburgh und Anflug im Dorf an der Düssel eine Seltenheit zur Landung auf 05L oder 05R bitte machen Sie so weiter Lieben Gruß aus Neuss am Rhein ❤
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feeedback! Meist sind die Landungen auf 23L oder 23R. 05 ist eher selten, weil der Wind eher aus westlichen Richtungen kommt. Liebe Grüße nach Neuß an den Rhein!
Always love these videos. As a commercial aviation enthusiast, this is just lovely! Also, was it just me or did anyone else feel a little uneasy as the mach cross .800 and the VMO kept closing in while climbing through FL300 😆
The beach house capt. The astros on Gemini and Apollo use to spent the weeks before the launch under low carbohydrate diet. The breakfast just before the launch was an exception. Steak eggs and orange juice plus coffee. The space shuttle venues were different but under the same principle. Nice cruise chatter !!
Hallo Stefan, wie immer ein Genuss die Videos zu sehen. Vielleicht gibt es ja noch neue aktuelle Anflugvidoes von Destinationen wie Antalya, Innsbruck, Ivalo, Korfu Rwy16, Reykjavik. Ein ganz dickes Lob für das Erstellen der Videos. Die Arbeit neben dem Job ist nicht ohne. Chapeau ( P.S. in der Beschreibung steht Piste 05R...ist aber Piste 05L im Video ) Wie gesagt. Einfach genial die Videos und ich freue mich immer auf eine Neuerscheinung. LG Stephan
Hallo Stephan, vielen Dank fürs super Feedback! Die Beschreibung habe ich geändert. Danke für den Hinweis! In Antalya war ich schon lange nicht mehr. Das letzte Mal haben wir ein Video aufgezeichnet, welches auch auf dem Kanal zu sehen ist. Vielleicht werde ich demnächst mal dorthin geplant. Korfu 16 kommt mit Sicherheit demnächst. Innsbruck fliege ich nicht an, das ich schon etliche andere CAT-C Plätze anfliege. Ich hoffe, dass Island auch mal im Dienstplan steht. Bitte um Geduld! Viele Grüße, Stefan
Ich möchte mich erstmal für dieses und alle bisherigen Videos bedanken. Die sind echt jedes mal wieder klasse und ich lerne jedes mal neues dazu. Ich nutze die Videos auch gerne um meine Flüge im Simulator zu verbessern. Was mir da allerdings noch fehlen würde, wäre ein Video, in dem ihr das Flugzeug aus dem Cold und Dark Zustand bis zum Takeoff bringt, genauso wie nach der Landung Abends den Flieger wieder aus zu machen. Wenn ihr das überhaupt manchmal macht, wäre das echt klasse darüber noch etwas lernen zu können. Vielen Dank und mach gerne weiter so
Vielen lieben Dank für das super Feedback und die finanzielle Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied! Herzlichen Dank auch für die Vorschläge für die beiden Videos! Ich schaue mal, was wir da machen können. Vielleicht lässt sich das zukünftig ermöglichen. Ich behalte das auf jedem Fall im Hinterkopf! Einen schönen Tag noch!
Really enjoyed the video today. Edinburgh is my home city and I live fairly close to the airport although I can’t see the planes landing as Corstorphine Hill obscures the view. I really like the approach to runway 24. Great views of the city. Might I say that Edinburgh Airport might be outgrowing itself, with the amount of arriving and departing aircraft which is possibly the reason why your flight was delayed on the ground. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of space for a second runway.
I'm only about four miles from the airport (my view is obscured by the Braid Hills). It's hard to see how the airport expands further (whether it should for environmental reasons is a different thing). I can't see where they'd put a second runway, the first runway is end of life and runway 12/30 is long gone, the terminal is far too crowded, there's a significant bottleneck on the taxiways around A15/A16 and road access to the airport is still only via one road.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your detailed report of the local situation! Lots of airports were built 50 years ago or so and at that time nobody expected the growth in airplane traffic to the level which we see now. Some cities moved the airports to an aera with more room, like how it was done at Berlin in Germany. Berlin closed 2 airports for the new BER airport. Milan in Italy did it differently: They opened the Malpensa airport but still keep Linate airport open for a reduced number of airplane operations. My personal opinion is that the few flights which I did to and from Edinburgh were ok in regard to arrival and departure delays caused by airport traffic. It is very similar to other airports.
Willkommen zurück in Schottland!! 🏴 What a treat! An Edinburgh video with Loganair landing, lovely departure, the FO explaining the process to becoming a Eurowings pilot, a sudden ECAM message and a very smooth landing! Personally the slightly wobbly camera isn’t an issue, it gives me a better feeling of perspective actually - it’s like having a go pro strapped to your head and feeling it move as you do, if that makes sense. You mentioned flying as a passenger recently and it made me wonder, as a passenger are you acutely aware of what the aircraft is doing? Such as flap positions, recognising thrust settings by the sound, cabin crew “dings” etc? Or do you switch off the professional side entirely and just enjoy the journey? Excellent as always! 🏴🛫🌍🛬🇩🇪🧑🏻✈️🧑🏻✈️
Thank you so much for your good, helpful and very detailed feedback! When I fly as a passenger, I always recognize what is going on. This is automatically because I know all the calls to the cabin, the dings, the different sounds, the flap positions .... Sometimes I even lookup the arrival or departure chart in my Ipad. But I also enjoy the journey as a passenger and love to watch out of the windows. Usually I see things which I never saw as a pilot because I am sitting on the left side in the cockpit and the things are on the right side or so.
Stefan, vielen Dank für Deine unfassbar tollen, informativen und exzellent gestalteten Videos. Ich würde auch gerne eine Detailfrage loswerden. Um 1:04:00 herum programmiert der PF den Custom-Waypoint für D75nm VALSU. Wie genau ist der schlaue Weg, diesen Waypoint schnell zu erstellen?Pilot Waypoints -> Place/BRG/Dist oder gibt es einen schnelleren / einfacheren Weg? (How exactly is the PF entering the custom waypoint given by ATC (D75 from VALSU at FL260)). Vielen Dank für deine Zeit.
Vielen lieben Dank fürs super Feedback! Es gibt unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, den Punkt einzugeben. Am einfachsten ist es, auf der Fix Info Seite den Wegepunkt Valsu einzugeben und einen 75 NM Kreis (Radius). Neben dem Wort Radius und den eingegebenen 75 NM erscheint dann ein Pfeil. Wenn man auf die Lineselect Taste daneben drūckt, wird in die vorhandene Route ein Wrgepunkt eingefügt, der auf der Route liegt und sich 75 NM vor Valsu befindet Der Name des Punktes ist dann D075VAL. Die Höhenvorgabe für den Punkt kann man dann über den rechten Lineselect Key neben dem neuen Punkt eingeben.
Thanks for the good feedback! I do not know why a straight push was required. Maybe because we had to make room for other traffic or it is just the standard at this parking position at the airport for unknown reasons. Sometimes, airports have special local procedures which we do not know about. And which we do not need to know because ATC is telling us about it and/or the ground crew knows them.
I prefer the NEO leap engines. Especially the A321 NEO is a wonderful airplane. It climbs really good, even with 232 passengers. And the fuel flow is much lower than on the A321 CEO airplanes.
Hello, I still love your videos. All these videos allowed me to learn the "procedures" that I now apply in MSFS 2020. I have a question, is the departure briefing done before or after the IFR clearance request?
And another question, the dotted arc of a circle that we see at 1:11:22 under heading 120 on the ND, what does it correspond to? I never found the meaning...
For the departure briefing, you need to know the expected departure routing. As soon as you know it, you can do the briefing. Sometimes, we get the IFR clearance not before we are already taxiing to the runway. In this case, we ask ATC what we may have to expect. Once we get the clearance, we double-check if the briefing and setup were done in accordance with the clearance.
Great video. Out of curiosity, why on take off did the PF fly at 10 degrees pitch, which was above that commanded by the FD? Was it because you were running late and the sooner you reach FL100 you can accelerate past 250kt?
Thanks for your good feedback and your question! The chance to get an early shortcut in the departure routing increases with increased altitude. The faster we gain altitude, the earlier a shortcut is possible.
Another great video. I was going to mention the PFD/ ND camera but you already covered that. technology never works great 100% of the time. Could you explain "FLEX" as in the setting for take off. I know it is to do with the power but how is it calculated? Many thanks in advance
Thanks for your financial support of the channel as a member! This is really important! The PFD/ND camera in the next videos will be again way more stable. FLEX takeoffs are reduced thrust takeoffs. We do them to reduce the engine wear. With higher outside air temperatures the engine power is reduced. So we just tell the engine that it should assume that there will be a certain higher outside air temperature. For example: The real outside air temperature is 15 degrees Celsius. To reduce the power for takeoff, we tell the engine that it shall assume that the outside temperature would be 50 degrees Celsius. Then the engine will provide less power because if the temperature would be really 50 degrees Celsius, the engine would deliver less power than at 15 degrees Celsius. We have a computer program which calculates the possible FLEX temperatures. This takes into account the weight of the airplane, the full weather data, including the wind, plus the runway length and obstacles in the departure sector.
Fantastic! The first officer seems very friendly haha, absolutely greased the landing as well... what was the item that wasnt locked properly during the climb out? And did you ever find out the reason for the sec 2 fault😂
Yes, the first officer is very friendly! And he is a good pilot! I do not know the reason for the SEC fault. Sometimes, we request and get a feedback from maintenance. Here, we did not ask for it because it was just a successful computer reset.
Thanks for your good feedback! If I remember correctly, he announced that he just wanted to increase the climb rate for a short while because our departure routing was in the "wrong" direction. Being high early usually gives us the chance for a shortcut by ATC. Also ATC asked us to keep the high rate for a moment.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you for the precisions you give ! It makes sense as you often say. As a private pilot i'm amazed by the time you take to explain what is going on in the cockpit !
Great video as always, thank you again captain! One question about CPDLC: Does it give an aural or visual warning when new messages arrive? I am wondering how you instantly notice a message even while dealing with your technical logbook...
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! Yes, there is a CPDLC message light. If we do not react after a few seconds, an aural warning (bell) will direct our attention to the CPDLC screen.
Great video, tho i dont understand one thing. Doesnt the 320 have rudder pedals on the right side? So if the first officer is pf, why do you say your controls at takeoff, is it a eurowings specific procedure?
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! The A320 has rudder pedals and a tiller for the nose wheel steering on both sides. Here, the Captain is always taxiing the airplane, even if the First Officer is pilot flying. All large airlines do operational risk assessments in regard to the procedures. The result is that some airlines allow the First Officers to taxi the airplane, others do not allow it and restrict the taxiing to the Captain.
I enjoyed the flight. Just a shame that it was overcast over the Dutch coast. I had hoped to see a bit of the Netherlands. I noticed however that you passed the SPL VOR (at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) by the north. That was further north than that I expected. And at the end the FMS tuned in to the MAS (Maastricht) VOR close to the town of Schinveld, just abot 8 km of my hometown Hulsberg!
Ich war länger nicht mehr in Leipzig. Aber sobald ich dort mal wieder hinfliege, werde ich versuchen, ein Video aufzunehmen. Das kann aber noch etwas dauern, da wir sehr viele Destinationen anfliegen und der Dienstplan immer eine große Überraschung ist.
Yet another fantastic video. A couple of questions if I may? Firstly, as a non-native English speaker, your English is flawless, however, as you fly to/over numerous different countries have you ever struggled or found it difficult to understand any regional accents - especially when speaking to other non native English speakers? And secondly you mention the long wait on the ground, and then subsequently tell the controller that you’re late and would appreciate shortcuts, was the lateness due to that wait? Are there any penalties for the company if the flight is late? Many thanks.
First of all: Thank you very much for your good feedback and your financial support of the channel as a member! Videos like this one would be impossible without the support of the members! Understanding the different regional accents is just a matter of experience. When flying the first time to a certain country, it is sometimes difficult to understand everything. After several flights it is much easier. In regard to air traffic control, it is even easier because everybody is using the same words. So we know already before what we may have to expect next. Most of the flights which I do are on time or earlier. Here the departure delay was about 30 minutes. The arrival delay was less. This happens once in a while. Several things added up: The ground ops (loading and boarding) took a little longer and the startup and pushback was delayed due to ATC and apron restrictions. Then we were number 4 for departure and had to wait for some landings. The most delays which I saw during the last time were ATC slots. This means we cannot fly at the planned time and have to stay on the ground for some time because ATC is unable to handle us at this time on the planned routing. Various reasons may cause this: Not enough ATC controllers at work, weather on the routing or at the destination, technical restrictions in the ATC system ..... The European law regulates delays: If the delay is caused by the airline and more than 3 hours at the destination, the passengers are entitled to a compensation. If it is longer than 2 hours, they have to get something to drink. During the last years, I never experienced a 2 or 3 hour delay as a pilot. We always try to fly as punctual as possible. Some passengers have connecting flights or continue with a train. So it is essential that we are on time or just a few minutes late. Our flight plans contain some buffers to cope with possible delays. They enable us to be on time or earlier even with a few minutes departure delay.
I also would like to add the ECAM screens to the videos. They are already recorded by the PFD/ND camera. Due to ugly reflections, the pictures of the ECAM are not useable. Due to the very limited possible camera locations, I did not find a good solution for this until now. I will continue to search for a feasible solution. But it may take a while.
Danke für das tolle Video. Im Steigflug ist mir aufgefallen, dass ihr immer über dem FD fliegt - ist das "Standard procedure" oder einfach eine Angewohnheit des PF?
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Normalerweise folgen wir dem Flight Director. Es sei denn, es gibt einen Grund dafür, es nicht zu tun. Im Abflug folgt der Kollege zunächat dem Flight Director. Bei 19:10 sagt er, dass er bewußt eine höhere Pitch einnimmt als vom Flight Director angezeigt. Wir folgten der Departure Route. Allerdings ging die noch in Richtung Westen. Also in die eigentlich "falsche" Richtung. Je schneller man Höhe erreicht, desto eher gibt es Abkürzungen in die "richtige" Richtung. Später kam dann auch noch mal die Aufforderung von ATC dazu, eine hohe Rate noch für einem Moment zu fliegen. Man hätte auch an der FCU eine niedrigere Geschwindigkeit eindrehen oder eine bestimmte Rate vorwählen können. Der Kollege wollte jedoch eine Pitch von etwa 10 Grad fliegen. Das kann man dem Flight Director nicht vorgeben.
Hallihallo :) Vielen Dank wieder für diese wundervollen Ausblicke. Werden bei einem Druckabfall in der Kabine die Passagiere eigentlich vorab kurz informiert was als nächstes passiert oder fallen einfach die Masken runter und es geht der Dringlichkeit geschuldet "einfach" abwärts? Viele Grüße aus dem schönen Aschaffenburg und natürlich happy landings :)
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und die Frage! Bei einem plötzlichen Druckabfall in der Kabine fallen die Masken herunter und es ertönt zeitgleich eine automatische Ansage, die die Passagiere darauf hinweist, dass es einen Druckabfall gab und dass sie die Masken bitte benutzen sollen. Das ist unabhängig von dem was von den Piloten oder den Flugbegleitern gesagt wird.
Moin, Ich wollte mich erstmal für die tollen Videos, eingeschlossen dieses, bedanken! Mich würde es interessieren, ob es möglich wäre, ein Anflug bzw. Abflugvideo in Hamburg aufzunehmen oder ob du da gar nicht hinfliegst? Ich würde mich riesig über eine Antwort freuen ^^
Vielen Dank fürs tolle Feedback! Hamburg werde ich aufnehmen sobald ich dort nochmal hinfliege. Das passiert aber nicht so oft, da wir in Hamburg eine eigene Station haben. Die dort stationierten Pilotinnen und Piloten machen die meisten Flüge von dort.
Interesting video - I was delayed in Las Palmas by 2 hours last week, as there was some burning smell coming from the toilets. So we had to go back to the remote stand. In a months time, I'm flying on an ATR 72-600 to Guernsey island from Gatwick. It's my first time flying on a turboprop plane. Can I ask in what comparison the ATR is compared to an Airbus? And have you ever flown on one before as a passenger or pilot? Regards, Louis.
Thanks for watching, for your financial support as a channel member and for sharing your very personal feedback! It is good to hear that the plane with the burning smell returned to the stand. It is inconvenient for the passengers, but safety shall be always first. I cannot compare the ATR to an AIRBUS. My knowledge of the ATR is very limited. I flew several times as a passenger with an ATR and it was always ok. Depending on the seat location it may be a little noisy. The Q version of the ATR is providing an anti noise system in the cabin. It works similar to the ANR headsets, just through the loudspeakers. Have a nice day!
Most of the flights are coming back to the homebase at the end of the flight-duty. Some flights require overnights at other airports. We also have to fly sometimes from other bases, stay in the hotel at the base and do flights which depart and arrive at the base before travelling back to the homebase.
Good question! I thought also about this several times. But this is the only departure which provides a routing in the required direction for our flight. So it looks like that they use it also for jets.
@ I think I found the answer. In the RAD it states that this departure can be used by jet aircraft provided they route via Y96, otherwise it’s restricted to Props. Thanks for another fantastic video!!
So the FO was more than a FO right? Recruitment manager or a higher manager or something? He gave a feeling as if he's at a higher position than a A320 captain + Instructor in the company EW. Some of his jokes or remarks gave it away for me, it could be false though.
As a Copilot myself I cannot see what you mean. Both pilots are equals in the cockpit (except in certain situations) and a bit of fun and jokes are totally normal. Also the Copilot is always encouraged to make decisions too. There is no huge authority difference in modern airlines anymore.
I think that the impression @SIMTRIBE got is not right. The FO is a great pilot and a nice colleague. I have flown with him often and it was always a pleasure. I love to see a good amount of qualified inputs from the first officers. This is really important for a good CRM. Especially if the first officer is pilot flying, he shall have a good picture about what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. I am finally legally responsible, but it is his flight as pilot flying. Sure, everybody has a slightly different communication style. You can see this in my different videos. This first officer is also a simulator instructor and a member of the selection pilot team. I also was with him in the simulator and can tell you that he is a wonderful instructor who knows how to teach.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I must apologize, I guess my message lead to something different. This video, your comms, collaboration in the cockpit, sharing of decisions, everything was perfect. And at the end who am I to judge... What I just felt was, that some of the jokes and relaxed manners came across as a higher-up kind of behaviour. Didn't mean it as a bad thing, it didn't affect anything in the cockpit, you both were perfect. It was just an observation of managerial manners sometimes.
Hello Stefan! I have a question here 😁It's about the Line-up check list. You said "TaRa only" but what I saw on the right screen is "Ta only" Does it say "TaRa" Somewhere on screen(s) ? Best regards
Thanks for watching and your financial support as a member! I said TARA. This is to confirm that the switch on the transponder panel has been placed in the TARA position. It is not shown on the screen. The screen shows "TA only" during the initial takeoff because the plane cannot do a resolution advisory at very low altitude because a resolution advisory may require a descent or a level off.
Hallo, ich bin seit gewisser Zeit interessiert Pilot zu wersen. Momentan in der Ausbildung zum Elektroniker. Ich strebe an den Meisterbrief zu machen nach der Ausbildung. Danach möchte ich möglicherweise meinen Traum jagen und versuchen Pilot zu werden. Leider hab ich kein Abitur sondern nur ein sehr sehr gutes Realschulzeugnis. Nun stelle ich mir die Frage ob der Meisterbrief nicht ausreicht bei z.B Lufthansa, Eurowings da dieser eigendlich gleich zu setzen ist mit der Hochschulreife?
Vielen Dank für das sehr persönliche Feedback! Ich finde, es ist eine gute Idee, erst einmal den Meisterbrief zu machen und dann möglicherweise eine Ausbildung zum Piloten zu starten. Die aktuelle Copiloten-Auschreibung bei Eurowings erfordert: "Allgemeine Hochschulreife oder Fachhochschulreife". Genaue Details kenne ich auch nicht. Mein persönliches Verständnis davon ist jedoch: Wenn Du mit Deinem jetzigen Abschluß oder dann später mit dem Meisterbrief in Kombination mit Deinem jetzigen Abschluß auch an einer Fachhochschule studieren könntest, wären die Voraussetzungen erfüllt. Am besten fragst Du mal bei den Airlines nach der Anerkennung Deines Abschlusses.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos Hallo danke für die Rückmeleung, ich habe mal bei der LH nachgefragt vor paar Tagen und die meinten der Abschluss mit Meisterbrief ist ausreichend. Außerdem hab ich den vorteil das ich einige Kosten weil es eine Zweitausbildung wäre bei der Piloten Ausbildung erstattet werden. Jetzt schau ich mal das ich noch bisschen Geld verdiene damit ich auch noch den Standfuß richte mit dem Meisterbrief hoffentlich und dann schau ich mal. Danke für die Rückmeldung nochmal. Mach weiter mit den Videos
Danke für das Update! Bei der Pilotenausbildung hast Du zwei Möglichkeiten: Entweder machst Du es bei einer Schule, die mit einer Airline zusammenarbeitet oder zur Airline gehört. Diese Airline gibt Dir dann nach dem Abschluß auch meist einen Job, weil Du schon vor Beginn der Ausbildung das Auswahlverfahren durchlaufen hast. Meiner Meinung nach ist das die beste Möglichkeit, weil der Job im Cockpit am Ende garantiert ist, soloange Du alle Checks bestehst und die Airline Piloten sucht. Die andere Option ist eine Schule, die nicht direkt zu einer Airline gehört. Das ist eine gute Option, wenn die vorher genannte Option nicht geklappt hat oder die Airline, zu der Du möchtest, diese Option nicht anbietet. Diese Ausbildung lässt sich in Teilen als Fernkurs, also online, darstellen. Das kann man ganz gut auch neben einer normalen Tätigkeit machen. Der Ausbildungsteil direkt in der Schule verringert sich durch den Fernkurs massiv. Ich habe das auch so gemacht und konnte in meinem ursprünglichen Beruf während der ATPL-Ausbildung die ganze Zeit weiter arbeiten. Billiger war es am Ende auch noch und ich habe weiter Geld verdient.
Und natürlich empfehle ich jedem luftfahrtinteressierten Menschen, erstmal einen Privatpilotenschein zu machen. Das geht eventuell auch in einem Verein.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos könntest du mir vielleicht deine Schule verlinken die du meinst schau mir das mal an. Wie kann man ggf Kosten senken und wenn ich fragen dürfte wie viel du damals gezahlt hast.
Every large airline does operational risk assessments in regard to the operating procedures. This includes the question who is allowed to taxi the airplane on the ground. Some airlines allow the first officers to taxi the airplane other airlines restrict the taxiing to the captain. This is the case of our operations. Here, the first officer is responsible for the thrust levers after liftoff when he or she is pilot flying. Before, the captain controls the thrust levers and is taxiing the airplane. After landing, the captain takes over the controls from the first officer before the plane is exiting the runway.
Why does the PF not get to control the thrust levers on takeoff. Could this not cause a delay if the PF wants to abort the takeoff but the captain has control of the thust?
A takeoff abort is always performed by the captain, even if the first officer is pilot flying. My understanding is that this is the same at every airline. So there is no delay in case of an abort.
The decision to abort or to continue a takeoff is always done by the captain. Even if he or she is the designated pilot monitoring for the flight. The general rule is that the first officer has to state the technical problem, if he or she sees that something is wrong. The captain then has to decide to continue or to abort the takeoff. And the captain has to execute the abort, if he decides for an abort. The only situation at which the first officer could decide on its own to abort the takeoff and even executes the abort would be during an incapacitation of the captain. We train this scenario in the simulator.
How do you control hydration without needing to go to the toilet all the time on long flights? Does it just come with experience? Have you ever been desperate for the toilet during a long hold at Heathrow? 😂
Sure, we have to use the restroom on a regular basis. On short flights, we usually do it before and after the flight. Or on longer flights, we do it before we reach lower altitudes where we may expect a holding or so. I do not remember of a need to go to the restroom in a holding pattern.
Due to several requests, I published this video from the flight back from EDI to DUS. I apologize for the bad stabilization of the PFD/ND screens. This is not the standard of the channel and is usually much better.
There are some interesting events: 1:14:13 an ECAM message with a system fault shows up and is handled by the crew 0:56:01 The First Officer who is a member of the pilot selection team describes very detailed the airline pilot selection and assessment process and gives very valuable information for possible applicants.
Please make sure to watch also my other full flight videos: ruclips.net/p/PLa2FUXnb0gRDxTwj--G07ivQQ80pe2eG4 In most of them the cameras are much better stabilized than in this video.
Thank you publishing this flight, it was long awaited but worth the wait! Superb as always .
Thanks for your good feedback! And thank you very much for your financial support of the channel! Such long multicamera videos would be impossible without the support of the members! Have a great day!
Dear Captain first of all thank you for a superb video as always saturday doesn t disappoint,
I finished flight training on august 1st and passed the first two steps of the selection process afterwards. Its been 3 months since applying and 2 weeks now since the screening and I wonder if you know why the process takes so long although there is a big shortage. Two former flight school colleagues of mine passed the screening in May and just signed their contract, but the typeratimg starts in spring and summer 2025. Is there not enough training personal at EW or what is the reason:) Im quite curious since I want to join EW and I am waiting for the last step without any feedback unless the approval that I passed the screening. Have a great weekend, you may contact me per Mail if you want to-schönes Rest Wochenende!😊
Turn it off, turn it on again! Amazing how many times that fixes so many different faults. 😂 Never seen that on a commercial aircraft before though. ❤
Thanks for sharing your good feedback! Congratulations to you! Great to hear that you have passed the first 2 steps of the pilot selection process! The typerating training takes a while and training capacities are limited. I am not a spokesperson for the company or the training or HR department. But my understanding is that waiting times are always a possibility due to capacity reasons. And this is true for all airlines. I wish you a short waiting time and all the best for you aviation career! Alles Gute und weiterhin viel Erfolg!
I love the discipline of using the checklists. Especially the after-landing. It's only one item and easy enough to remember, but the First Officer in every video pulls it up to see and read it every time.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your good and interesting feedback in regard to the use of checklists! Have a nice day!
Ich möchte dir ein riesiges Kompliment für diesen Kanal aussprechen! Euer Kanal ist für mich die erste Adresse, wenn es um spannende, detaillierte und unglaublich professionell gefilmte Flugaufnahmen geht. Es ist beeindruckend, mit wie viel Leidenschaft und Präzision ihr die verschiedenen Flughäfen und auch die Flugmanöver in Szene setzt.
Besonders schätze ich die Vielfalt der gezeigten Szenen - von den spektakulären Landeanflügen bis hin zu den kraftvollen Starts. Man merkt, dass hinter jedem Video eine große Liebe zur Luftfahrt steckt. Dank dir kann man als Zuschauer die Faszination des Fliegens hautnah miterleben, und das auf eine Art und Weise, die sowohl technisch interessierte als auch einfach nur luftfahrtbegeisterte Menschen begeistert.
Bitte mach weiter so! Dein Kanal ist eine echte Bereicherung für alle Flugenthusiasten und Luftfahrt-Fans.
Vielen Dank für diese großartige Arbeit und ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere beeindruckende Videos!
Vielen lieben Dank für das ausführliche und tolle Feedback und die finanzielle Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied! Das freut mich natürlich sehr! Bei mir ist die Liebe zum Fliegen und die Liebe zum schönen Video sehr ausgeprägt. Manchmal ist das allerdings auch sehr anstrengend. Insbesondere, wenn ich glaube, dass ich am eigentlich fertigen Video noch das eine oder andere verbessern kann. Das dauert dann oft endlos lange und fällt später nur ins Auge, wenn man genau hinschaut. Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag!
You guys amaze me! I did not know you have to deal with the minutiae of broken toilets and galley problems in addition to the important job of actually flying the aircraft. Awesome! 👍
Thank you so much for your great feedback and for financially supporting the channel!
Yes, broken toilets and galley problems are also parts of our job. We have to document these things in the electronic technical logbook. Subsequently, the entries are transferred to maintenance and they repair it. We also have to check if we can fly with a technical malfunction or / and if we are restricted somehow. For example, a broken seatbelt at a passenger seat would make this seat unusable for passengers.
Amazing video like usual, greetings from LFLL !
Thanks for your good feedback! Many greetings to Lyon!
The Ground Controller at Edinburgh was Superb could listen to her Beautiful voice all day ❤
I'll let her know 🙂

Wie immer ein sehr schönes Video. Die haben immer was entspanntes beim zuschauen.
Ich würde mich freuen wenn bald mal wieder ein Video auf deutsch kommen könnte.
Mach(t) weiter so!
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Es gibt viele Zuschauer, die kein Deutsch sprechen oder verstehen. Sie verstehen allerdings Englisch. Und die deutschsprachigen Zuschauer verstehen auch (fast) alle Englisch. Es wird sicher immer mal wieder ein deutschsprachiges Video geben.
Vielleicht trenne ich auch in Zukunft einen deutschsprachigen Kanal ab. Der ist dann reserviert für ausschließlich deutschsprachige Videos und entsprechende Beschreibungen. Wie fändest Du das denn?
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos vielen Dank für die Antwort! Das wäre echt super. Natürlich gucke ich auch gerne die englischsprachigen Videos ❤
daran wäre ich auch sehr interessiert... Und danke für die Videos 👍
I really enjoy these videos. Extremely well made and very informative. The only problem I have is hearing what the pilots are saying to each other when there is a lot of radio chatter.
Thank you so much for your good and helpful feedback! I am sorry about the difficulties to understand what we say. The videos do not contain separate ATC recordings or so. They just contain the original audio from the cockpit which is exactly the same what we hear in our headsets. I cannot change the different volume levels in post production. I only can make it louder or less loud in total. Right now, I am working on a solution to reduce the noise to almost zero. This may make it easier to understand what we say. Please stay tuned! Have a nice day!
Well, I'm not an Airbus driver, but I am a bus driver, and the first thing we do if we get an electrical fault - turn it off, turn it on again, or in the vernacular, RESET! Thank you so much for this one Stefan. I really do enjoy watching your videos, and due to partaking in a particular hobby, they help a lot. Happy flying!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your interesting feedback! I think computer resets are something which everybody has to do once in a while who works with electronic systems which contain some kind of hard and software. The Airbus houses lots of computers for the various systems. Almost everything is somehow controlled and monitored by different computers. Important is that this are different computers and not one large computer. For example, the flight controls are driven by 7! different independent computers. The software engineers also designed the computers in a way that the monitoring system uses another CPU and another computer language than the controlling system.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos redundancy is really important these days. Thank you for the info. 😊

Bit tight with the strawberries. I eat a whole punnet myself....smothered in double cream, of course.
Excellent video as usual, with a beautiful view of the blue sky and the blue sea, separated on the horizon by a thin line of white cloud. Stunning! You pilots have the best job in the world with the best view you can get from an "office" window.
Thanks for watching and for your great feedback! I agree, we have the best job in the world with the best views from our "office"-windows! Have a nice day!
In den meisten Videos fragen sie immer oft ob rolling Start okay ist, ich persönlich liebe rolling starts. Super Videos wie immer weiter hin guten Flug 👍
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Standard ist, dass wir am Anfang der Bahn stehen bleiben, in die Bremsen treten und 50 % N1 setzen. Wenn die 50 % N1 auf beiden Triebwerken erreicht sind, gehen wir aus den Bremsen und beginnen den Startlauf.
Allerdings ist es alternativ auch zulässig, einen "rolling takeoff" zu machen. Das sollten wir in der Crew natürlich absprechen.
Einen schönen Tag noch!
@ApproachandDepartureVideos vielen Dank für den ausführlichen und informativen Ablauf des Starts und take offs, weiterhin schönen Abend und guten Flug 👍
Wow 1hr30 minutes and we never hear how the strawberries were?!? Seriously though, amazing info on this one and lovely approach turning just above the clouds and then descending through the clouds. Great video thanks!
Thanks for watching and your great and detailed feedback! Have a nice day!

Another great look into the daily operations at Eurowings!
Many thanks for your good feedback! Have a nice day!
Thanks for those videos, u are a great man, ty for your effort to show us this lovely jos
Thank you very much for your kind words about my person! Have a great day!
Hey Captain,
Just see that Eurowings just opened a new line between DUS and Cairo. Looking forward to watch one of your approach there !
I hope to be scheduled on that flight in the near future. But my duty schedule is always a surprise. Please stay tuned and have a nice day!
Always love these videos. As a commercial aviation enthusiast, this is just lovely! Also, was it just me or did anyone else feel a little uneasy as the mach cross .800 and the VMO kept closing in while climbing through FL300 😆
Please explain the reason why you feel uneasy when flying .80 with a speed below max speed. All in limits. There's no reason to worry about it.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos Aah just was being funny. I meant that I was worried the speed will enter VMO/MMO.
Ok. I understand. We always keep it below VMO/MMO. We do not want to exceed any limits.
Hi Stefan Paul from kent hope you are well a fabulous video and flight ✈️ nice landing 🛬 and a good 🧑✈️ Officer.
All the best Paul
Hi Paul! Many thanks for your good feedback and for being a loyal subscriber! Best greetings to Kent!
The beach house capt. The astros on Gemini and Apollo use to spent the weeks before the launch under low carbohydrate diet. The breakfast just before the launch was an exception. Steak eggs and orange juice plus coffee. The space shuttle venues were different but under the same principle. Nice cruise chatter !!
Thanks for watching and for sharing the interesting information! Have a nice day!
Really interesting conversations on this flight. 👍
Thanks for "flying" with us! Have a nice day!
Ill be using your videos as reference when i start my TR next year from the Boeing.
Thanks for sharing your interesting feedback! I wish you all the best for your type rating!
Hallo Stefan, wie immer ein Genuss die Videos zu sehen. Vielleicht gibt es ja noch neue aktuelle Anflugvidoes von Destinationen wie Antalya, Innsbruck, Ivalo, Korfu Rwy16, Reykjavik. Ein ganz dickes Lob für das Erstellen der Videos. Die Arbeit neben dem Job ist nicht ohne. Chapeau ( P.S. in der Beschreibung steht Piste 05R...ist aber Piste 05L im Video ) Wie gesagt. Einfach genial die Videos und ich freue mich immer auf eine Neuerscheinung. LG Stephan
Hallo Stephan, vielen Dank fürs super Feedback! Die Beschreibung habe ich geändert. Danke für den Hinweis!
In Antalya war ich schon lange nicht mehr. Das letzte Mal haben wir ein Video aufgezeichnet, welches auch auf dem Kanal zu sehen ist. Vielleicht werde ich demnächst mal dorthin geplant.
Korfu 16 kommt mit Sicherheit demnächst. Innsbruck fliege ich nicht an, das ich schon etliche andere CAT-C Plätze anfliege. Ich hoffe, dass Island auch mal im Dienstplan steht.
Bitte um Geduld! Viele Grüße, Stefan
Thanks for this video, always love them! Why was the F/O flying above the Flight Director guidance at 19:30?
He wanted to gain altitude fast. This improved the chance to receive a shortcut from ATC for the routing.
Ich möchte mich erstmal für dieses und alle bisherigen Videos bedanken. Die sind echt jedes mal wieder klasse und ich lerne jedes mal neues dazu. Ich nutze die Videos auch gerne um meine Flüge im Simulator zu verbessern. Was mir da allerdings noch fehlen würde, wäre ein Video, in dem ihr das Flugzeug aus dem Cold und Dark Zustand bis zum Takeoff bringt, genauso wie nach der Landung Abends den Flieger wieder aus zu machen. Wenn ihr das überhaupt manchmal macht, wäre das echt klasse darüber noch etwas lernen zu können. Vielen Dank und mach gerne weiter so
Vielen lieben Dank für das super Feedback und die finanzielle Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied! Herzlichen Dank auch für die Vorschläge für die beiden Videos! Ich schaue mal, was wir da machen können. Vielleicht lässt sich das zukünftig ermöglichen. Ich behalte das auf jedem Fall im Hinterkopf! Einen schönen Tag noch!
Thank you very much for explaining the selection process. I am currently finishing my ATPL license and I would love to join Eurowings.
That's god to hear! All the best for your ATPL check! I hope to see you soon in the cockpit!
Really enjoyed the video today. Edinburgh is my home city and I live fairly close to the airport although I can’t see the planes landing as Corstorphine Hill obscures the view. I really like the approach to runway 24. Great views of the city.
Might I say that Edinburgh Airport might be outgrowing itself, with the amount of arriving and departing aircraft which is possibly the reason why your flight was delayed on the ground. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of space for a second runway.
I'm only about four miles from the airport (my view is obscured by the Braid Hills). It's hard to see how the airport expands further (whether it should for environmental reasons is a different thing). I can't see where they'd put a second runway, the first runway is end of life and runway 12/30 is long gone, the terminal is far too crowded, there's a significant bottleneck on the taxiways around A15/A16 and road access to the airport is still only via one road.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your detailed report of the local situation! Lots of airports were built 50 years ago or so and at that time nobody expected the growth in airplane traffic to the level which we see now. Some cities moved the airports to an aera with more room, like how it was done at Berlin in Germany. Berlin closed 2 airports for the new BER airport. Milan in Italy did it differently: They opened the Malpensa airport but still keep Linate airport open for a reduced number of airplane operations.
My personal opinion is that the few flights which I did to and from Edinburgh were ok in regard to arrival and departure delays caused by airport traffic. It is very similar to other airports.
Willkommen zurück in Schottland!! 🏴
What a treat! An Edinburgh video with Loganair landing, lovely departure, the FO explaining the process to becoming a Eurowings pilot, a sudden ECAM message and a very smooth landing!
Personally the slightly wobbly camera isn’t an issue, it gives me a better feeling of perspective actually - it’s like having a go pro strapped to your head and feeling it move as you do, if that makes sense.
You mentioned flying as a passenger recently and it made me wonder, as a passenger are you acutely aware of what the aircraft is doing? Such as flap positions, recognising thrust settings by the sound, cabin crew “dings” etc? Or do you switch off the professional side entirely and just enjoy the journey?
Excellent as always! 🏴🛫🌍🛬🇩🇪🧑🏻✈️🧑🏻✈️
Thank you so much for your good, helpful and very detailed feedback!
When I fly as a passenger, I always recognize what is going on. This is automatically because I know all the calls to the cabin, the dings, the different sounds, the flap positions .... Sometimes I even lookup the arrival or departure chart in my Ipad.
But I also enjoy the journey as a passenger and love to watch out of the windows. Usually I see things which I never saw as a pilot because I am sitting on the left side in the cockpit and the things are on the right side or so.
Thank you for the share
Thanks for watching!
To be honest, i liked that the PFD and ND were not "stabilized" because it gives an insight into the actual movement of the plane.
Thank you so much for your financial support of the channel as a member! And thanks a lot for your helpful feedback! Have a nice day!
14:14 I fly regularly in and out of EGPH and the turn around times are terrible due to many factors that the airport don’t seem able to improve.
There are always many factors who are controlling the turnaround times. At this flight, all factors were against us.
Stefan, vielen Dank für Deine unfassbar tollen, informativen und exzellent gestalteten Videos. Ich würde auch gerne eine Detailfrage loswerden. Um 1:04:00 herum programmiert der PF den Custom-Waypoint für D75nm VALSU. Wie genau ist der schlaue Weg, diesen Waypoint schnell zu erstellen?Pilot Waypoints -> Place/BRG/Dist oder gibt es einen schnelleren / einfacheren Weg? (How exactly is the PF entering the custom waypoint given by ATC (D75 from VALSU at FL260)). Vielen Dank für deine Zeit.
Vielen lieben Dank fürs super Feedback! Es gibt unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, den Punkt einzugeben. Am einfachsten ist es, auf der Fix Info Seite den Wegepunkt Valsu einzugeben und einen 75 NM Kreis (Radius). Neben dem Wort Radius und den eingegebenen 75 NM erscheint dann ein Pfeil. Wenn man auf die Lineselect Taste daneben drūckt, wird in die vorhandene Route ein Wrgepunkt eingefügt, der auf der Route liegt und sich 75 NM vor Valsu befindet Der Name des Punktes ist dann D075VAL. Die Höhenvorgabe für den Punkt kann man dann über den rechten Lineselect Key neben dem neuen Punkt eingeben.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Klasse, vielen Dank 🙏
Why straight push in that stand?
Great video Captain!
Thanks for the good feedback! I do not know why a straight push was required. Maybe because we had to make room for other traffic or it is just the standard at this parking position at the airport for unknown reasons. Sometimes, airports have special local procedures which we do not know about. And which we do not need to know because ATC is telling us about it and/or the ground crew knows them.
Hi, I was wondering what engines on the A320 you prefer, the cfm56, IAE v2500 or the neo leap engines? Thanks for the great video again
I prefer the NEO leap engines. Especially the A321 NEO is a wonderful airplane. It climbs really good, even with 232 passengers. And the fuel flow is much lower than on the A321 CEO airplanes.
Hello, I still love your videos. All these videos allowed me to learn the "procedures" that I now apply in MSFS 2020. I have a question, is the departure briefing done before or after the IFR clearance request?
And another question, the dotted arc of a circle that we see at 1:11:22 under heading 120 on the ND, what does it correspond to? I never found the meaning...
For the departure briefing, you need to know the expected departure routing. As soon as you know it, you can do the briefing. Sometimes, we get the IFR clearance not before we are already taxiing to the runway. In this case, we ask ATC what we may have to expect. Once we get the clearance, we double-check if the briefing and setup were done in accordance with the clearance.
Great video. Out of curiosity, why on take off did the PF fly at 10 degrees pitch, which was above that commanded by the FD? Was it because you were running late and the sooner you reach FL100 you can accelerate past 250kt?
Thanks for your good feedback and your question! The chance to get an early shortcut in the departure routing increases with increased altitude. The faster we gain altitude, the earlier a shortcut is possible.
@ Brilliant. Thank you! If it would be at all possible, a text box or view of the overhead panel showing what you are doing and when would be great!
Another great video. I was going to mention the PFD/ ND camera but you already covered that. technology never works great 100% of the time. Could you explain "FLEX" as in the setting for take off. I know it is to do with the power but how is it calculated? Many thanks in advance
Thanks for your financial support of the channel as a member! This is really important! The PFD/ND camera in the next videos will be again way more stable. FLEX takeoffs are reduced thrust takeoffs. We do them to reduce the engine wear. With higher outside air temperatures the engine power is reduced. So we just tell the engine that it should assume that there will be a certain higher outside air temperature. For example: The real outside air temperature is 15 degrees Celsius. To reduce the power for takeoff, we tell the engine that it shall assume that the outside temperature would be 50 degrees Celsius. Then the engine will provide less power because if the temperature would be really 50 degrees Celsius, the engine would deliver less power than at 15 degrees Celsius. We have a computer program which calculates the possible FLEX temperatures. This takes into account the weight of the airplane, the full weather data, including the wind, plus the runway length and obstacles in the departure sector.
Always was curious about the “flex call” on takeoff!
Thank you Captain and First officer for another awesome insight into your profession!
👍👍👍
Fantastic! The first officer seems very friendly haha, absolutely greased the landing as well... what was the item that wasnt locked properly during the climb out? And did you ever find out the reason for the sec 2 fault😂
Yes, the first officer is very friendly! And he is a good pilot! I do not know the reason for the SEC fault. Sometimes, we request and get a feedback from maintenance. Here, we did not ask for it because it was just a successful computer reset.
Another great video Stefan hope we can stay in contact ❤
Thanks for watching and your good feedback!
Hello, great flight as usual !
Why does not the FO follow the FD while climbing?
Thanks for your good feedback! If I remember correctly, he announced that he just wanted to increase the climb rate for a short while because our departure routing was in the "wrong" direction. Being high early usually gives us the chance for a shortcut by ATC. Also ATC asked us to keep the high rate for a moment.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you for the precisions you give ! It makes sense as you often say. As a private pilot i'm amazed by the time you take to explain what is going on in the cockpit !
Great video as always, thank you again captain! One question about CPDLC: Does it give an aural or visual warning when new messages arrive? I am wondering how you instantly notice a message even while dealing with your technical logbook...
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! Yes, there is a CPDLC message light. If we do not react after a few seconds, an aural warning (bell) will direct our attention to the CPDLC screen.
Great video, tho i dont understand one thing. Doesnt the 320 have rudder pedals on the right side? So if the first officer is pf, why do you say your controls at takeoff, is it a eurowings specific procedure?
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! The A320 has rudder pedals and a tiller for the nose wheel steering on both sides. Here, the Captain is always taxiing the airplane, even if the First Officer is pilot flying. All large airlines do operational risk assessments in regard to the procedures. The result is that some airlines allow the First Officers to taxi the airplane, others do not allow it and restrict the taxiing to the Captain.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideosdidnt know that, cheers
As always a beautiful and interesting video. I have a question. Have you ever flown to Tromsø before?
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! I had been there a few years ago as I was working for another airline.
I enjoyed the flight. Just a shame that it was overcast over the Dutch coast. I had hoped to see a bit of the Netherlands. I noticed however that you passed the SPL VOR (at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) by the north. That was further north than that I expected. And at the end the FMS tuned in to the MAS (Maastricht) VOR close to the town of Schinveld, just abot 8 km of my hometown Hulsberg!
Thanks for watching and for sharing your good feedback and your observations! Many greetings to Hulsberg!
Wird es mal ein Video rund um Leipzigs Flughafen geben? Ihr fliegt momentan ja mehrmals wöchentlich von Düsseldorf aus dorthin
Ich war länger nicht mehr in Leipzig. Aber sobald ich dort mal wieder hinfliege, werde ich versuchen, ein Video aufzunehmen. Das kann aber noch etwas dauern, da wir sehr viele Destinationen anfliegen und der Dienstplan immer eine große Überraschung ist.
Finally found a video of myself in the video very rare occasion 😂
Thanks for watching and for your feedback! Where did you see yourself?
Yet another fantastic video. A couple of questions if I may? Firstly, as a non-native English speaker, your English is flawless, however, as you fly to/over numerous different countries have you ever struggled or found it difficult to understand any regional accents - especially when speaking to other non native English speakers? And secondly you mention the long wait on the ground, and then subsequently tell the controller that you’re late and would appreciate shortcuts, was the lateness due to that wait? Are there any penalties for the company if the flight is late? Many thanks.
First of all: Thank you very much for your good feedback and your financial support of the channel as a member! Videos like this one would be impossible without the support of the members!
Understanding the different regional accents is just a matter of experience. When flying the first time to a certain country, it is sometimes difficult to understand everything. After several flights it is much easier. In regard to air traffic control, it is even easier because everybody is using the same words. So we know already before what we may have to expect next.
Most of the flights which I do are on time or earlier. Here the departure delay was about 30 minutes. The arrival delay was less. This happens once in a while. Several things added up: The ground ops (loading and boarding) took a little longer and the startup and pushback was delayed due to ATC and apron restrictions. Then we were number 4 for departure and had to wait for some landings. The most delays which I saw during the last time were ATC slots. This means we cannot fly at the planned time and have to stay on the ground for some time because ATC is unable to handle us at this time on the planned routing. Various reasons may cause this: Not enough ATC controllers at work, weather on the routing or at the destination, technical restrictions in the ATC system ..... The European law regulates delays: If the delay is caused by the airline and more than 3 hours at the destination, the passengers are entitled to a compensation. If it is longer than 2 hours, they have to get something to drink. During the last years, I never experienced a 2 or 3 hour delay as a pilot. We always try to fly as punctual as possible. Some passengers have connecting flights or continue with a train. So it is essential that we are on time or just a few minutes late. Our flight plans contain some buffers to cope with possible delays. They enable us to be on time or earlier even with a few minutes departure delay.
Would be nice to see the lower and upper ECAM DUs too, and make them bigger, it's too small to see details.
I also would like to add the ECAM screens to the videos. They are already recorded by the PFD/ND camera. Due to ugly reflections, the pictures of the ECAM are not useable.
Due to the very limited possible camera locations, I did not find a good solution for this until now. I will continue to search for a feasible solution. But it may take a while.
at approximately 19:13 the FO states hes taking a higher pitch than the flight director commands, I'm just curious why this was done ?
He wanted to gain altitude fast to receive an early routing shortcut.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Ah! makes sense now, thank you for clarifying,
Danke für das tolle Video. Im Steigflug ist mir aufgefallen, dass ihr immer über dem FD fliegt - ist das "Standard procedure" oder einfach eine Angewohnheit des PF?
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Normalerweise folgen wir dem Flight Director. Es sei denn, es gibt einen Grund dafür, es nicht zu tun. Im Abflug folgt der Kollege zunächat dem Flight Director. Bei 19:10 sagt er, dass er bewußt eine höhere Pitch einnimmt als vom Flight Director angezeigt. Wir folgten der Departure Route. Allerdings ging die noch in Richtung Westen. Also in die eigentlich "falsche" Richtung. Je schneller man Höhe erreicht, desto eher gibt es Abkürzungen in die "richtige" Richtung. Später kam dann auch noch mal die Aufforderung von ATC dazu, eine hohe Rate noch für einem Moment zu fliegen. Man hätte auch an der FCU eine niedrigere Geschwindigkeit eindrehen oder eine bestimmte Rate vorwählen können. Der Kollege wollte jedoch eine Pitch von etwa 10 Grad fliegen. Das kann man dem Flight Director nicht vorgeben.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Vielen Dank für die ausführliche und verständliche Antwort.
How can you know where your above the coiled s😊
Hallihallo :) Vielen Dank wieder für diese wundervollen Ausblicke. Werden bei einem Druckabfall in der Kabine die Passagiere eigentlich vorab kurz informiert was als nächstes passiert oder fallen einfach die Masken runter und es geht der Dringlichkeit geschuldet "einfach" abwärts? Viele Grüße aus dem schönen Aschaffenburg und natürlich happy landings :)
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und die Frage! Bei einem plötzlichen Druckabfall in der Kabine fallen die Masken herunter und es ertönt zeitgleich eine automatische Ansage, die die Passagiere darauf hinweist, dass es einen Druckabfall gab und dass sie die Masken bitte benutzen sollen. Das ist unabhängig von dem was von den Piloten oder den Flugbegleitern gesagt wird.
Moin,
Ich wollte mich erstmal für die tollen Videos, eingeschlossen dieses, bedanken!
Mich würde es interessieren, ob es möglich wäre, ein Anflug bzw. Abflugvideo in Hamburg aufzunehmen oder ob du da gar nicht hinfliegst? Ich würde mich riesig über eine Antwort freuen ^^
Vielen Dank fürs tolle Feedback! Hamburg werde ich aufnehmen sobald ich dort nochmal hinfliege. Das passiert aber nicht so oft, da wir in Hamburg eine eigene Station haben. Die dort stationierten Pilotinnen und Piloten machen die meisten Flüge von dort.
Interesting video - I was delayed in Las Palmas by 2 hours last week, as there was some burning smell coming from the toilets. So we had to go back to the remote stand.
In a months time, I'm flying on an ATR 72-600 to Guernsey island from Gatwick. It's my first time flying on a turboprop plane.
Can I ask in what comparison the ATR is compared to an Airbus? And have you ever flown on one before as a passenger or pilot? Regards, Louis.
Thanks for watching, for your financial support as a channel member and for sharing your very personal feedback! It is good to hear that the plane with the burning smell returned to the stand. It is inconvenient for the passengers, but safety shall be always first.
I cannot compare the ATR to an AIRBUS. My knowledge of the ATR is very limited. I flew several times as a passenger with an ATR and it was always ok. Depending on the seat location it may be a little noisy. The Q version of the ATR is providing an anti noise system in the cabin. It works similar to the ANR headsets, just through the loudspeakers. Have a nice day!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Yes, I’ve got the engine seat but I’m aware they’re noisy. But looking forward to flying by myself for the 1st time.
I wanted to ask, is PDC not available at EGPH like in EDDL?
PDC is not available everywhere. Sometimes it is also not working and we have to revert to voice communications for the ATC departure clearance.
Are all your flights turns or are there any that involve an overnight stopover?
Most of the flights are coming back to the homebase at the end of the flight-duty. Some flights require overnights at other airports. We also have to fly sometimes from other bases, stay in the hotel at the base and do flights which depart and arrive at the base before travelling back to the homebase.
Why is the TLA6C annotated as ‘PROP ONLY’ on the LIDO chart?
Good question! I thought also about this several times. But this is the only departure which provides a routing in the required direction for our flight. So it looks like that they use it also for jets.
@ I think I found the answer. In the RAD it states that this departure can be used by jet aircraft provided they route via Y96, otherwise it’s restricted to Props. Thanks for another fantastic video!!
So the FO was more than a FO right? Recruitment manager or a higher manager or something? He gave a feeling as if he's at a higher position than a A320 captain + Instructor in the company EW. Some of his jokes or remarks gave it away for me, it could be false though.
As a Copilot myself I cannot see what you mean. Both pilots are equals in the cockpit (except in certain situations) and a bit of fun and jokes are totally normal. Also the Copilot is always encouraged to make decisions too.
There is no huge authority difference in modern airlines anymore.
I think that the impression @SIMTRIBE got is not right. The FO is a great pilot and a nice colleague. I have flown with him often and it was always a pleasure. I love to see a good amount of qualified inputs from the first officers. This is really important for a good CRM. Especially if the first officer is pilot flying, he shall have a good picture about what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. I am finally legally responsible, but it is his flight as pilot flying.
Sure, everybody has a slightly different communication style. You can see this in my different videos.
This first officer is also a simulator instructor and a member of the selection pilot team. I also was with him in the simulator and can tell you that he is a wonderful instructor who knows how to teach.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I must apologize, I guess my message lead to something different. This video, your comms, collaboration in the cockpit, sharing of decisions, everything was perfect. And at the end who am I to judge... What I just felt was, that some of the jokes and relaxed manners came across as a higher-up kind of behaviour. Didn't mean it as a bad thing, it didn't affect anything in the cockpit, you both were perfect. It was just an observation of managerial manners sometimes.
i think "latch" was the word, the locking mechanism can't latch properly
Thanks! Sounds good to me!
Reason for the delay: wild haggis on the runway. 😁
Hello Stefan! I have a question here 😁It's about the Line-up check list. You said "TaRa only" but what I saw on the right screen is "Ta only" Does it say "TaRa" Somewhere on screen(s) ?
Best regards
Thanks for watching and your financial support as a member! I said TARA. This is to confirm that the switch on the transponder panel has been placed in the TARA position. It is not shown on the screen. The screen shows "TA only" during the initial takeoff because the plane cannot do a resolution advisory at very low altitude because a resolution advisory may require a descent or a level off.
👍
Thanks!
Hallo, ich bin seit gewisser Zeit interessiert Pilot zu wersen. Momentan in der Ausbildung zum Elektroniker. Ich strebe an den Meisterbrief zu machen nach der Ausbildung. Danach möchte ich möglicherweise meinen Traum jagen und versuchen Pilot zu werden. Leider hab ich kein Abitur sondern nur ein sehr sehr gutes Realschulzeugnis. Nun stelle ich mir die Frage ob der Meisterbrief nicht ausreicht bei z.B Lufthansa, Eurowings da dieser eigendlich gleich zu setzen ist mit der Hochschulreife?
Vielen Dank für das sehr persönliche Feedback! Ich finde, es ist eine gute Idee, erst einmal den Meisterbrief zu machen und dann möglicherweise eine Ausbildung zum Piloten zu starten. Die aktuelle Copiloten-Auschreibung bei Eurowings erfordert: "Allgemeine Hochschulreife oder Fachhochschulreife". Genaue Details kenne ich auch nicht. Mein persönliches Verständnis davon ist jedoch: Wenn Du mit Deinem jetzigen Abschluß oder dann später mit dem Meisterbrief in Kombination mit Deinem jetzigen Abschluß auch an einer Fachhochschule studieren könntest, wären die Voraussetzungen erfüllt.
Am besten fragst Du mal bei den Airlines nach der Anerkennung Deines Abschlusses.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos Hallo danke für die Rückmeleung, ich habe mal bei der LH nachgefragt vor paar Tagen und die meinten der Abschluss mit Meisterbrief ist ausreichend. Außerdem hab ich den vorteil das ich einige Kosten weil es eine Zweitausbildung wäre bei der Piloten Ausbildung erstattet werden. Jetzt schau ich mal das ich noch bisschen Geld verdiene damit ich auch noch den Standfuß richte mit dem Meisterbrief hoffentlich und dann schau ich mal. Danke für die Rückmeldung nochmal. Mach weiter mit den Videos
Danke für das Update! Bei der Pilotenausbildung hast Du zwei Möglichkeiten:
Entweder machst Du es bei einer Schule, die mit einer Airline zusammenarbeitet oder zur Airline gehört. Diese Airline gibt Dir dann nach dem Abschluß auch meist einen Job, weil Du schon vor Beginn der Ausbildung das Auswahlverfahren durchlaufen hast. Meiner Meinung nach ist das die beste Möglichkeit, weil der Job im Cockpit am Ende garantiert ist, soloange Du alle Checks bestehst und die Airline Piloten sucht.
Die andere Option ist eine Schule, die nicht direkt zu einer Airline gehört. Das ist eine gute Option, wenn die vorher genannte Option nicht geklappt hat oder die Airline, zu der Du möchtest, diese Option nicht anbietet. Diese Ausbildung lässt sich in Teilen als Fernkurs, also online, darstellen. Das kann man ganz gut auch neben einer normalen Tätigkeit machen. Der Ausbildungsteil direkt in der Schule verringert sich durch den Fernkurs massiv. Ich habe das auch so gemacht und konnte in meinem ursprünglichen Beruf während der ATPL-Ausbildung die ganze Zeit weiter arbeiten. Billiger war es am Ende auch noch und ich habe weiter Geld verdient.
Und natürlich empfehle ich jedem luftfahrtinteressierten Menschen, erstmal einen Privatpilotenschein zu machen. Das geht eventuell auch in einem Verein.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos könntest du mir vielleicht deine Schule verlinken die du meinst schau mir das mal an. Wie kann man ggf Kosten senken und wenn ich fragen dürfte wie viel du damals gezahlt hast.
So the F/O’s cannot be trusted to taxi the aeroplane or touch the thrust levers?
Every large airline does operational risk assessments in regard to the operating procedures. This includes the question who is allowed to taxi the airplane on the ground. Some airlines allow the first officers to taxi the airplane other airlines restrict the taxiing to the captain. This is the case of our operations. Here, the first officer is responsible for the thrust levers after liftoff when he or she is pilot flying. Before, the captain controls the thrust levers and is taxiing the airplane. After landing, the captain takes over the controls from the first officer before the plane is exiting the runway.
Why does the PF not get to control the thrust levers on takeoff. Could this not cause a delay if the PF wants to abort the takeoff but the captain has control of the thust?
A takeoff abort is always performed by the captain, even if the first officer is pilot flying. My understanding is that this is the same at every airline. So there is no delay in case of an abort.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos If the PF spots a reason for aborting before the captain does he have to shout abort then?
The decision to abort or to continue a takeoff is always done by the captain. Even if he or she is the designated pilot monitoring for the flight. The general rule is that the first officer has to state the technical problem, if he or she sees that something is wrong. The captain then has to decide to continue or to abort the takeoff. And the captain has to execute the abort, if he decides for an abort. The only situation at which the first officer could decide on its own to abort the takeoff and even executes the abort would be during an incapacitation of the captain. We train this scenario in the simulator.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos OK, interesting. Thank you for explaining
How do you control hydration without needing to go to the toilet all the time on long flights? Does it just come with experience?
Have you ever been desperate for the toilet during a long hold at Heathrow? 😂
Sure, we have to use the restroom on a regular basis. On short flights, we usually do it before and after the flight. Or on longer flights, we do it before we reach lower altitudes where we may expect a holding or so. I do not remember of a need to go to the restroom in a holding pattern.
