The Airbus 330 sidestick.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- All big modern passenger planes have fly by wire control systems. This means that there is no mechanical connection between the sidestick or yoke and the control surfaces.
Digital electrical signals are sent to computers which move one or many control surfaces via hydraulic actuators, so the the desired response is obtained. It’s according to the ”flight control laws” and how this computer program is designed determines if the plane is responsive, stable, sluggish or whatever.
I have a M.Sc in aeronautical engineering and I have a particular interest of this, including to explain for you how it works. Pls enjoy!

😂damn funny
It was for scientifical purposes
Yaw damper: hold my beer (literally)
@@bjornpilot Out of sheer curiosity, how big of a deviation off-course are you allowed to make like this in this video? If this can be even called a deviation...
Bjorn: *pushes side stick to the side a little*
nervous flyer: *hugs seat*
hahahaha
Those were very small banks.
Pilot: disconnect the autopilot and play with the joystick
Passengers: hold up
Side stick*
There's no joy operating a plane.
@randy1189and large group of people make fun of these without knowing that fighter jets use sticks
One of the most coolest captain
You suck at english!
Boeing fans: **joystick**
Airbus fans: Don't say the "J" word
Good one
"MAX"
Boeing fans: ok, ok, it's called sidestick
boeing fans: no dont you ever call the yoke steering wheel
@@rickerair5441even some Boeing pilots call it steering wheel😂
When the shadow moved across the cockpit I smiled and realized, that tiny gentle stick movement just told 181 tonnes of machine to move effortlessly and gracefully.
Simply a dream job.
Jesus this single video has finally answered the Boeing vs Airbus debate for me
Nathaniel Girma It’s a bit more complicated. The yoke is interconnected with the one on the other side and the sidestick is not, meaning that they don’t move simultaneously. So you really MUST communicate your actions or look at what the opposite pilot is doing with the stick, if you want to know. Otherwise you have NO idea in an Airbus. If you are aware of it it’s no problem and there are only big advantages with the sidestick. Indeed my personal opinion, but I respect others.
@@bjornpilot May I ask, I've read somewhere that the Airbus flight dynamics respond exactly the same irrespective of flight parameters. Does the aircraft feel the same maneuvering at 30k feet and on Final?
Nathaniel Girma Good question but tricky to answer. It does not feel the same but feels like it should considering the speed and altitude. Meaning stiffer at the controls at high altitude and more responsive at lower, like just before landing. The flight control laws are such that all Airbus planes should feel the same, however I think that the A350 feels much more responsive and agile than A330/340. I have never flown the A320.
Nathaniel Girma Agree. I have flown Boeing planes and they are good! More of a design discussion.
Weird that no one asked, "answered the debate in which direction"? That Airbus is better or that Boeing is better, it could be either way.
About steering the sidestick with the left hand. That question is also relevant for yokes since you are using the left hand when landing since the right hand is on the throttle anyway.
albula642 You are absolutely right! Good point. 👍🏼😊
Wow, i've searching for this, thanks for info
fantastic to see you disconnecting the AP and turning gentle left and right at cruising level!!! awesome
Airbus 350 Super relaxed and easy, anytime. This in the climb, to avoid discussions about keeping the altitude steady. 👌🏼😉

Your videos fascinate me. No music. No graphics. No yelling or grinning at the camera. Just a real person with an interesting job, explaining some very interesting stuff. It’s pure genius. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻
okay, decision made. as soon as possible I'm booking on Scandinavian
Same!!!!
Doing maneuvers in a $200 million+ aircraft for his RUclips channel. This is why we watch! Cheers!
Amazing Björn. I like the way you want us to know some stuff, and the way you show us is fantastic. Thank you for you choosing to be a pilot.
As usual I have read the description of the video. I can´t believe someone reported this to SAS. I found your channel today and I´m watching all of your videos. I think content like this MUST BE supported.
I have no less words than thankful ones for you. As an aviation lover, you just give my life a better perspective about the cockpit´s life when flying.
Cheers from Argentina. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.
There are way to many Boeing-fans on RUclips. Thanks Björn! Airbus, a civilized plane for a civilized age!
Absolutely. Airbus > Boeing
CzechBoi Never said you can’t. I said that there aren’t that many Airbus fans making themselves heard. Don’t see much Airbus swag at the air shows. I know both the 320 (and the 330/340) and the 737 intimately and I can go point by point and compare them. But it’s not what most fans are about really - it’s emotional. Like with a football team - fans. You are not on the team, you don’t own the team, you pay to watch them play and yet you are crying and cheering with them like they were your own family. While in reality it’s a buisness that is there for the money - your money. It’s the same with this Airbus vs. Boeing thing. It’s a freaking airliner made to fly for money. The only relevant comparison is if it’s good at it. In that respect the 320 for example has a bunch of things going for it over the 737 and it’s more comfortable as a work environment. On a modern airliner you spend more time doing paperwork than handflying, that alone is a reason to get rid of the column. Not to mention the weight. So back to what you said: love whichever type you want, love all of them but keep in mind they don’t love you back. What Björn points out is that are the things that matter on a practical level. All of them come from a design philosophy ment to make operations safe, easy and efficient in an cold and objective sense. That is something almost nobody on youtube talks about. Airbus is the beneficiary of two extra decades of research and development in human-machine-interface that at least the 737 is not.
Julius Sokolowski What an excellent comment, very good point of view, agree with you 100%👌👌👌👍👍✈️
AlvariAir thanks!
truly a blessing that there are pilots like you so willing to show what cool equipment you get to fly. love from texas, usa bjorn
No cargo was harmed in the making of this video
Most open and transparent pilot on RUclips. Thank you for showing us all Bjorn!
Thank you Captain, Enjoy your Flight.
To everyone talking about the banking of the plane (the ones who are serious about it) , that was a tiny bank... it was probably less than 5 degrees of bank and he did it smoothly, the passengers wouldn’t notice the difference if the autopilot turned the plane or the pilot. It would have been a normal turn.
Har ofta tänkt på detta med att kontrollen sitter till vänster men när jag ser detta kom jag på att jag brukade spela bordtennis med vänster hand, bara som en utmaning i unga år. Det fungerade utmärkt efter ett tag och blev väldigt naturligt. Gissar att det bara är en fråga om anpassning och träning. Trevlig informativ video som alltid.
Hans Bjorkman Tack! 😊
pilot: "it's kind of crazy to have a yoke in the way here"
yoke: "am I a yoke to you??"
I spent 10 years in Airbus A320 cockpit. Now I’m on the 737. I love the ergonomics of the Airbus, but I feel the 737 is more fun to fly. But I still missed the Airbus cockpit 😭😭
Boeing = Manual car, Airbus = Automatic, do you agree?
Edmond Hung The 737 is like a 1960s Land Rover defender with a GPS. The Airbus is like big BMW with a flashy interior but underpowered. Both are nice to fly.
Best job in the world with best company, happy flying Björn! 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks captain, this was actually REALLY interesting after having watched probably 500 videos about all aircraft systems. Never was aware of the actual function of this. it's perfect!
Looks very interesting, reveals the secrets of the cockpit, thank you, when I was a child I was allowed to visit the pilots in the cockpit, and ask then questions, it's a shame it's not allowed these days.
Wow, it is a nice touch to have a joystick, instead of having a yoke, it is so much more convenient. There is also a lot more leg space.
Hi Cpt. watching your videos from Brazil. Thanks for sharing !
This guy is possibly the coolest person and the chillest pilot I’ve ever met. I wish he was my pilot one day 😂.
That would really cool while driving a car. Bjorn, thanks for your outstanding videos.
Thumbs up!!!
Bjorn: shows the advantages of fly-by-wire

777 and 787 are fly by wire...
@@skat0r I know but they use the yoke, not the sidestick
Boeing fans can trigger airbus fans by only one word: "joystick"

yoo never thought a pilot would disengage the autopilot and fly from left to right during the flight, you are the first pilot youtuber that ever done so, very interesting to see.
pilot: haha plane go roll
me in my seat: yep im dead its over i had a great life...
You sir are one of the best pilots on youtube! The things you show on your channel are amazing and especially for a guy like me who's studying to become a pilot. Keep up how your channel is and no matter how popular you get stay this way :D One question, Are you a type rating instructor or Technical pilot also? My ultimate aspiration is to someday be an A350/330 Technical pilot and captain :)
Where are you now?
This is so amazing!, thank for giving us this opportunity to watch this from a real pilot
I dont understand why people debate so much between Boeing and Airbus. Let the airlines decide their fleet! Great video as always btw Capt Bjorn!
I realized this first time whilst flying airbus in FSX. :)
please keep these videos coming, it's super interesting!
Excellent tutorial on the side stick, it was very informative
Great video! My dad is an A32X pilot for BA!
Nice! 👍🏼
I suppose that’s not bad as you can fly A319/A320/A321/A320N and A321N at any time?
Me encantaría algún día estar sentado en uno de esos maravillosos asientos de pilotos
Have a Nice flight captain 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻 i wish i Will meet you in Kastrup soon we Open the sas lounge again 😔
Another very well-explained video and wonderfull exterior images! Thank you!
Another amazing video! Thank you for sharing this awesome behind the scenes features!
The job of a pilot has been my dream job for many years. Sadly I have slight red-green visual impairments which will make it very difficult for me, if not completely impossible to become an airline pilot. Well, as we say here in Germany, hope is the last to die.
Thanks for the demonstration and information captain!!
I accomplished my flight training last year. Hope for some improvement in the industry to get a job.
Very interesting, thank you! Most pilots show those features only in a simulator.
How to trigger every aviation fan: jOyStIcK
I love u. Now I know so much about the Airbus it's amazing
You are just amazing than other pilots videos. Cool pilot ♥️
Really like your videos very much, Bjørn! Really interesting and learing aswell. Regards a Norwegian Busdriver sometimes drives many of your colleagues between Oslo and Gardermoen for Schaus Buss crewdriving for SAS.
It is telling these 5 computers what to do with the plane. So, now i am wondering in case of an electrical shutdown into a gliding state, what is the back up for maintaining control over steering the plane? Love these type of videos you provide. They fascinate me a lot as i am currently very intrested in aviation. Thank you for showing/teaching us about all this
The A330 electrical system goes through 3 mains busses. If the generators were lost then the Ram Air Turbine would drive an emergency generator which would power the Essential bus which I I think powers 1x Primary computer and 1x secondary computer. If all the busses were damaged (unheard of) then the rudders and horizontal stabiliser are mechanically controlled and the engines can be used to help turn the plane too
Wow! I find your vids super entertaining and very insightful, thanks!!
Great video captain 👍👍
Have you ever had the chance to fly an entire flight manually ie., without engaging any automation systems.
Just curious....
Keep up the good work
interesting a pilot wears a submariner as opposed to gmt, good video
Thank you for the video Captain ! Very informative
You're teaching me new things about pilots!
1.3k likes vs 8 dislikes - that's insanely good
MSFS2020 is going to be so good. You can now Preorder the Airbus Joystick and throttle quadrant.
They've always been around.
George Barlow the TCA was only announced last month
Thomas Mortimore no there are also other airbus joysticks and throttle quadrants on the market is what I’m saying.
George Barlow come on then boy name some for us then
pilot's have uch an amzing view! imma be pilot now
i would love you to be my pilot sometime! keep this up. this is super awesome :)
Same!!!!!
For so long I thought you worked for KLM because of the colour of your tie
josephack Noooooo 😅😂
This is the autopilot disengage butto....”Missile away”
I love your videos keep them coming!!!
Hey man I live in newark Nj, and I’m an aspiring pilot! Would like to meet you one day love your videos ! Much love from New Jersey
I love this channel!! Where else would you get this kind of access to the flight deck. Keep them coming Capt.
Damn MSFS really are amazing
That computers are a hell to certify, I work in that stuff and is hell to certify any system for a plane xD
Nice Rolex Sub!
Great stuff captain
Thanks for the info captain 👍
You in the cockpit"just a little bit of role" the passengers in the back "ahhhhhhhh ahh aahhaahH"
Good flights
I watch your videos and think to myself one day there will be an accident with you messing about with an aircraft .
Love these informative videos
You should have your camera mounted on something and then we can see how amazing your landings are
Thank you for another brilliant video. I note that sometimes you fly the A330 and other days the A350. My question is that is it a common type rating for these two types? Most airlines put the crew on one type or the other.
Vaqar Khan Same rating and Ithink SAS A350 will be started up in the near future. Then I’ll make videos from it. 👍🏼😊
@@bjornpilot Great! Look forward to seeing more of your brilliant videos. They are very well explained. Thanks again.
Does your company policies allows this kind of actions? Obviously this isn’t a criticism, just curiosity. I really enjoy your videos, keep it up!!
On the older Airbuses I think when at takeoff the flight controls basically act as in direct law
Also direct law on 330/340 😊👍🏼
nice vid and love your channel very good insight
I could just see an airline pilot who is also a part time military pilot. Accidentally pulling the shoot trigger on their flight stick thinking they were going to use a PTT instead :)
Hey Bjorn! I live in Albany NY (KALB) and I see you guys descend over me! If you want me to, I could take a photo or video of you guys descending over my house for your video! Cheers- Hudson
Nice
Great video! If you don't mind, I have some questions I've always wanted to ask an airbus pilot:
1. Are the rudder controls also fly by wire?
2. In flight, are roll movements from the side stick linked to the rudders, to keep the turn balanced?
3. Do side sticks have feedback? Otherwise, how do you know if the plane is trimmed properly?
4. For the demonstration you did, does it also apply to pitch? Eg, if you pitch up 10 degrees and let go, is the plane going to maintain the same pitch attitude? Will the auto throttle increase to maintain speed when this happens?
5. Do the throttle levers move by themselves? Like Boeing?
Thanks!
1- Yes
2- The fly by wire system is in charged of that
3- You don't have feedback, the plane trims itself
4- Yes it'll maintain the same pitch. Yes the auto throttle will increase speed
5- They don't move
emmw74
1 yes,
2 yes,
3 there is no need for trimming since it’s done automatically. Set the attitude (pitch&bank) you like and the plane keeps it. The only time you trim (the rudder) is when you have an engine failure.
4 yes, lift to 10 degrees pitch and it keeps it without further input.
5 No, they do not move which is maybe controversial because you must look at the instruments to know what thrust you have. They set the max limit, like takeoff thrust, climb thrust etc. You get used to it. You can also disconnect autothrust and fly manual moving the throttles yourself, which is just like any other plane like Cessna or Piper. In fact manual/manual flying is absolutely awesome with this plane, for example in a visual approach or landing. 👌🏼😊
@@bjornpilot good to know!!! I hope to be an airline pilot someday!!!!! I'm a righty as well!!
AWESOME Video
Very interesting, thanks!
Great video! Do you fly Boeing planes as well? Which you prefer Boeing or Airbus?
hahaha, i like how this side-stick demo was done with pax load, during flight, just for us youtube folks...
Hello Captain! I love your videos 😍 May I ask what camera do you use in the video? ✈️
Hi Bjørn, just curious why you always use a fish eye lens? Are you using iPhone or Camera ?
Very interesting video
Hi Bjorn,
Loved the explanation of the Airbus Flight control laws. Makes a lot more sense now about the inputs that I put in during my desktop flight simulation sessions. Just has another question. Do most pilots generally have the Terrain shown on the ND of the PNF and WXR on the ND of the PF or is that just your personal preference?
@Honor 8x Thanks so much for the reply. Was just curious. I'll be sure to remember PM and not PNF from now on. :)
Pilot plays with controls to show his viewers
Passengers: Mama mia isa my life a joke to u..!! Me gonna die
even if clearly it must be comfortable to have a stick on the side, don't you think that for a right handed having a stick on the left is a bit more awkward feeling that using a central yoke?
EDIT: you answered it already few secs after I wrote this! Thanks!
Hi Bjorn, I have a question. At 5:23, on the left display the speed indicator shows 250 knots, but on the right display it shows the plane has a GS and TAS of 460 knots. Which one is true and why this difference? Also the mach is 0.80, so again, a little bit of a speed difference there... I’m not a pilot but I really want to know why are these differences. Thanks in advance
Felix Barac 250 is indicated and depends on the dynamic pressure. True airspeed eliminates the lower density of the air, at highter altitudes. GS takes the wind into acount. TAS plus or minus the wind gives GS.
very cool stuff.
Bjorn: Bank angle to the left...bank angle to the right
Passenger in the toilet: Whats going on?
Hi Bjorn, great video as always! I'm curious if you could explain sidestick priority in the airbus since that is something important to the sidestick since I believe there is no mechanical linkage between them like you would see on a traditional yoke. On an unrelated topic I'd love to see a video on the A330's hydraulic systems. On the A320 only the YELLOW system has an electric pump so you need to start Engine 1 an activate the YELLOW electric pump to not have your HYD PTU run continuously if you do a single-engine taxi. Does the A330 have a HYD PTU, if so how does that affect single-engine taxi procedures? Thanks!
Not it doesn’t. The A330 hydraulic system still has 3 systems but....
Green system is pressurised by both engines and has an electric pump that can operate manually or automatically. The RAT also pressurised the green system
Blue system is pressurised by engine 1 only and has a manually controlled electric pump
Yellow system is pressurised by engine 2 only and has an electric pump that can be manually or automatically controlled
