Hi Captain, thanks for the informative video. I'm in the middle of the ATPL course in Ireland and we have covered instruments, so your very clear and informative explanation really helps. I have watched other videos you posted too and I have learned a lot so I'd like to say thank you so much for putting the time in to create such great content. It is very much appreciated. And one more thing, the 1 minute debriefs are great too. Some classic reactions. All the best, Anthony
I worked in operations (AOC) for an airline & I'm very familiar with the usefulness of ACARS. I've a folder of messages I've kept from tech crew who sent me jokes as part of their messages. It's a great collection. If no jokes, or any humour, weren't included in the ACARS, then I knew tech crew were having a full on hands on day & no time for a bit of joviality.
I'm guessing this flight had no pushback, since the engines were started before the brakes were first released? It's frustrating though that these aren't in chronological order. Is there any reason for that?
I am an air traffic controller worked for 35 yrs . Now working on how this on board information can help in enhancing traffic predictability there by reducing fuel consumption and efficiency. Looking for your input in this regard. Thanks for information .
to answer on your question, i think it was a gate positionwhere no pushback was required because the engines were started before the parking brake was released
@@NiHaoMike64 good question. Since the aircraft is connected to the pushback vehicle it’s the vehicle that stops the backward movement. I don’t think the aircraft would start rolling on its own after the disconnection. But that’s just my guess. Maybe somebody knows it better?
It is a parking position where push back is not required because brake release time is 6:13 while engine start time is 6:08 and 6:10 which is before the brake release time.
Hi Joe, it would be very interesting if you make more videos about radio systems on board. Also, I am an amateur radio operator or ham (Amateurfunker) and I had once the opportunity to talk with a pilot (he Also was a Ham) on board a Boeing 737 using their HF 14MHz SSB radio. It would be very interesting if you could give some insides on that topic or if it is in fact possible to transmit on the amateur radio frequency.
Joe, thanks for an awesome video once more. We appreciate all the work you put into it. I would like to see a CAT II & III ILS apps explanation video. Thanks
I love decoding acars with my dx patrol sdr dongle, a dipole, sdr# and acarsd software. Also love receiving ads-b as well, but acars are unique and trying to understand the content of every message is so exciting.
a pushback was not required because engines started before releasing parking brakes, also the breaks were released one time without putting it back on for the tug to be removed and then releasing it again for taxi
Great video, Captain! As UX designer at SITA I love to see the captain-ground communication from first hand perspective. Very insightful. Do you have any videos related to misunderstanding or poor communication with the ground? Thank you.
I used to be load controller and ramp agent. We also send Load sheets to the cockpit via ACARS. To be honest , sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's the problem with load controlling software that we use or internet connection. Sometimes I have to drove back to our office to print Load sheets and back to parking stand again.
I thin no pushback, because when you would have been pushed back the parking brake would have been released twice, one time before pushing and one time before taxiing. In addition all engines were avail before the first release.
You'rea great instructor. Thanks Captain Joe for sharing knowledge about Aviation. Please make a video on CTOT, EOBT. I think your aircraft was not park to a gate so that is why Pushback time not showed. May be I think Flight crew OFMH 370 turned off Transponder that is why the expensive SAR failed
Cool! Did you record part of the video in Vienna? I saw LOWW written in the airport code field, before you keyed in the new airport code...! Very interesting video, by the way. Finally something that nobody has talked about so far...!
Love the Piedmont Airlines thumbnail... My Father was with Piedmont from literally the beginning all the way to the USAir merger (that eventually turned into US Airways and merged into modern day American Airlines.)
No push back required. I think the parking brake is engaged when the engines are starting. If there was pushback required the parking brake would have to be released before engine start as the aircraft wouldn't move if the brakes were engaged. In that case, the brakes would be released, armed, then released. However the FMC here only shows brake released after all engines have been started, so I think no push back was required in this pic.
Now 4 years later almost nobody is using ACARS anymore because they moved everything to the more than 10 times faster VDL2 communication system, which uses a similar protocol, but the the RF side an advanced high speed D8PSK modulation instead of the old 2400 bps AFSK. ACARS operates on I believe 4 specific channels in the 131 MHz VHF range in Europe, while VDL2 is on 136 MHz VHF and currently occupies 6 different channels in Europe. There is also HFDL on several HF frequencies between 3 and 21 MHz, while JAERO is kind of the same but operates via several transponders on 1548 MHz downlink via Inmarsat.
Fun fact: ACARS isn't encrypted and can be easily received and decoded at home using a cheap RTL-SDR usb dongle and a bit of dedicated software. It helps if you're near an airport or under a trafficked route but anyone can try and setup a receiving station to see what's above
I'm guessing no pushback was required, because it was only 3 minutes from releasing brakes to take-off...much less time than it takes to attach/push/disconnect the tractor? Also - the engines were started _before_ the brakes were released, whereas they're usually started during the pushback procedure (ie. brakes released first to enable the push; then engine start)
Brakes released after starting the engines. SO DEFINITELY NO PUSHBACK REQUIRED. Now could you please click that heart button for me, sir😆😆😆 Edit: maybe a tutorial on flight planning for next video would be really great :)
How are you buddy I'm not sure if you are into video games but try out new flight simulator 2020 preferably in VR and tell us what do you think. Amazing videos, keep it up.
Did not require pushback. Note that the engines were turned on before brakes were released.If pushback was required, the brakes would have been before engine start as to allow the tug to push you back.
We had done a pushback, as the doors were locked at 5:46 and Eng 1 run time is at 6:10 if it wasn't a push back then Eng 1 run time should have been around 5:55 at max. So I'm gonna go with 'Pushback' Thanks for the information on ACARS Capt.
08:32 I’m guessing pushback is not required here. The engines were started first and the brakes were released a few minutes later, which indicates a start on stand procedure rather than a pushback procedure.
Happy to see you again. Very informative and very clear as usual. May I ask you some short questions? Regarding MH370, indeed ACARS has been shut down but it restarted later on, emitting the so-called "pings" to an Inmarsat satellite. And if we know now where MH370 approximately crashed, in the south of the Indian Ocean, it is precisely because the ACARS was not completely dead. That's how they got the famous seven arcs giving a probable location of the crash. Problem: no other communication mean seemed to be working. It's all about ACARS in this mystery and it's a pretty disturbing thing. Moreover some specialists said at the time that it was impossible for the crew to shut it down in flight. Hence my questions: 1. Is it started manually or automatically in the starting procedure of the aircraft? 2. Even if it is automatic, would it be possible or not to shut it down manually in flight (I mean without descending to the lower floor in the avionic compartment)? If yes this means that it might have been deliberately shut down by the crew. Why? That's another question ... If not, why did it stop? 3. If it is only automatic: let's imagine a total electrical failure leading to the shut down of everything (provided that it makes sense) followed later on by a restoration (partial or complete). Could this restoration trigger the automatic restart of the ACARS (and only the ACARS)? Why in this case no aircraft data (especially A/C position) are transmitted anymore from the ACARS except the famous "pings" telling to the satellite "yes I am here" and only that? Obviously I don't ask you the solution about this mysterious case, just some additional information about ACARS, if possible and not classified of course. Thank you in advance. Best regards
Hey Joe I want to become a pilot and I don’t want to stay in a regional airplane for a long time for do you know what base in your opinion has the fastest upgrade time?
8:32 I guess it's a parking position where pushback is not required, engines are started earlier than the brakes being released
You smart
Same
I agree
Correct!!
i was going to answer but i am late . any ways your answer is correct .
using a multimillion dollar aircraft and communication system to ask what the score of the game, sounds about right lol

Immarsat provides inflight wifi too as a bonus AirNZ uses it
I'm no expert, but that doesn't look very aerodynamic
@@LuizDahoraavida It isn’t. The winglets on an aircraft give about a 5% reduction in fuel burn. The antenna on the top of the fuselage eats that up.

8:40 last engine started at 0610, brake released at 0613, airborne at 0616. No pushback required.

The "Minimum Equipment List" is an important topic for me as an Aircraft Mechanic and for you as a Pilot and would be a great upcoming video! :-)
Good idea!!!
@@flywithcaptainjoe Don't all MELs of the same category have the same number of checklist items?
Both hands up, seeing explanation of MEL would be nice 🙂
@@TAILSORANGEs Your question doesn’t make sense. Can you elaborate?
Capt. Joe, your a first class ticket and I'll always fly with you thanks for sharing your story with us that watch your channel. Outstanding job sir.
Actually early! as always very interesting vid Joe, keep them up!
5:22 well I guess that's just another reason why airplanes are better than girlfriends 🤔😂😜

Americans and people from the UK don't know how much we Kenyans love them...America🇺🇲 and the UK🇬🇧 Kenya 🇰🇪 loves you💯
Dang, Never would have crossed my mind to know that aircraft talked to each other.
No pushback required. Time from brakes release to engines on is negative.
8:40 answer: it was a normal pushback (indicated by "BRAKE RELEASD and DOORS CLOSED") meaning "Out of the gate"
I am an air traffic controller worked for 35 yrs . Now working on how this on board information can help in enhancing traffic predictability there by reducing fuel consumption and efficiency. Looking for your input in this regard. Thanks for information .
to answer on your question, i think it was a gate positionwhere no pushback was required because the engines were started before the parking brake was released
8:40, I think there was no pushback required, because the first engine (nr 4)
was started 5 minutes before the brakes were released
Hi Joe watching your video from Riyadh Saudi Arabia happy to see it in your video
Nice to see you back joe.
8:40
3 minutes from brakes off to wheels off the ground?...
No push back required.
How do you know the lack of pushback? Is it because breaks release after enginr start?
Yes with a pushback brakes are released before engine start up
I also assume that with a push back you release breaks first, then push back, then start engines
@@phillips2400 Wouldn't you have to reapply the brakes after getting the pushback so the aircraft doesn't keep rolling backwards?
@@NiHaoMike64 good question. Since the aircraft is connected to the pushback vehicle it’s the vehicle that stops the backward movement. I don’t think the aircraft would start rolling on its own after the disconnection. But that’s just my guess. Maybe somebody knows it better?
Definitely not faster than a WhatsApp message from an angry girlfriend
It is a parking position where push back is not required because brake release time is 6:13 while engine start time is 6:08 and 6:10 which is before the brake release time.
To answer the question at 8:30 , I think the aircraft was at a self repositioning stand. (No pushback required)
FINALY YOUR BACK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VIDEO

Thank you captain Joe. Please make a video hydraulics and pneumatic systems and how are they related to fly by wire methodology.
It's a New Year and a New topic to learn from Captain Joe...... Thanks Captain
Thank you so much! I have an examn with ACARS and i was so confused with VHF/SATCOM/HF and what a service provider was. This is great :)
All engines were running before parking Brake was released. So no push back was necessery.
YES! he's back!
@Captain Joe: Love your videos
Ich liebe deinen Videokontinent

Great video, Captain! As UX designer at SITA I love to see the captain-ground communication from first hand perspective. Very insightful.
Do you have any videos related to misunderstanding or poor communication with the ground? Thank you.
Joe, what is your opinion, which pilot would rather use a VHF or CPDLC system to communicate with ATC in the event of an emergency?
9:00 I guess the "digital" in FADEC is silent :3

Answer: no pushback as ENG run before brake release
No push back required. I think the parking brake is engaged when the engines are starting. If there was pushback required the parking brake would have to be released before engine start as the aircraft wouldn't move if the brakes were engaged. In that case, the brakes would be released, armed, then released. However the FMC here only shows brake released after all engines have been started, so I think no push back was required in this pic.
