I had a Delta A321 pilot explain the temperature sensor issue when I was flying out of KPHX in August a few years back and I noticed flaps/slats were at 1/F. When I was working on the C-5, I was told the flaps are left at T/O position after landing because "sometimes you just don't know if they'll break again and then you can't take off". 🙂 One nice thing I noticed on my last Fenix A321 flight, the flaps auto-retracted from 1/F as airspeed increased, still had to retract slats, but I thought it was a nice detail they added.
I am a retired engineer and has worked on B737 to B777. Wing leading edge anti-ice overheat switch is a sensor set to trip at 200 degrees F, which is lot more than your 30 degrees centigrade. Bulk of the time I worked in middle east where even the night temperature is grater than 30 degrees C. I have never noticed Leading Edge Slats/ Flaps extended to avoid false overheat warning
Boeing is a different beast than Airbus in these terms. Airbus explicitly lists this procedure in the standard operating procedures section, not even in the supplementary procedures.
Yes, with some payware MSFS can be very realistic already. Goes for planes, like the one from Fenix here, and goes for airport and scenery payware. And MSFS 2024 will be even more realistic.
I’m guessing leaving the flaps extended during hot weather is probably an operator specific thing. I have rarely seen planes leaving flaps extended on the ground even though temperatures exceed 30C.

@@npont3819 in the drone cam settings reduce the speed. Alternatively if you attach a XBOX controller just make small movements on the stick and it moves slower. There is payware out there called FSrealsitic that has a walk feature that can be controlled with W,A,S,D like a first person game too.
One time, I just forgot. It was my after landing flow but I kinda got interrupted with a long taxi instruction. Found out my flaps were still extended when we did the shutdown checklist LOL.
Not all airlines do this. Airbus designs its SOPs based on the lowest common denominator. This nuisance fault (bleed leak) may become an issue for airlines that operate at airports without any engineering support since there is no way for the pilots to determine if this is a real fault or not. Flew the 330 for 15 years for a company where this procedure was explicitly ignored because the required engineering support was available. This fault never appeared despite operating regularly in hot summer temperatures of more than 30 degrees, even up to 40. So not only is it an extremely infrequent occurrence (if it ever happens), but there is also the argument that the risks outweigh the benefits if an aircraft is in an unusual configuration during ground operations.
I got a question regarding the second reason: If the takeoff also happens in icing conditions and ice builds up between the flaps and the wing, doesn't the plane also have to handle retraction with ice? Or does this not happen because of deicing before takeoff?
Hi, I've seen a video where the crew retracted the flaps to 1+F after landing, left it at that position for the taxi in. When turning in towards the stand they retracted the flaps all the way. Do you have a possible explanaiton for this please? Is there a specific scenario when the temperature is above 30C, but you would fully retract the flaps?
@@markjackson5333 No, I think you misunderstood. They landed flaps full -> then 1+F for taxi -> then flaps up turning to the stand. I've looked at historical data for the flight, assuming it has arrived on time, the temperature was 35C.
Extended flaps cause the wings to generate more lift, making the aircraft more likely to shift unexpectedly or even start to lift off in strong winds. Extended flaps are also more exposed to FOD damage from kicked up gravel or other debris.
I'm not a pilot, but a truck driver (i do fly flightsim ) I would never trust a person to do a walkaround b4 i start my drive. Only if i inspect the ride myself i can trust that its done right. I expect most pilots feel the same.
When I was flying, taxiing an aircraft with the flaps down was an unwritten rule that indicated a distress signal to the tower, similar to squawking 7500 on a transponder. Is this still a thing?
Lucas, if it’s a ln A320 series. It only has one electrical pump you can turn on, that’s the yellow. You have to switch on the Blue Pump Override to get that to run. The A330 is has two pumps you can activate by direct HYD push button.
Wow, so translation, its a bad design. Flew the E175 through to the 195 aircraft, the B1900, and the 737 and this was not an issue. I spent half my time flying to Florida, Caribbean and the Gulf coast, and not once did we leave the flaps open. The other my flights was to the US northeast and Canada, and we delt with snow and icing on the regular. Never left the flaps down.
Great video, explaining it on Airbus, but why is at least the heat reason specific to Airbus? Whenever flying to for example turkey or egypt in the summer season, Boeing planes did never do this. Are they build so much different?
The ducting type, spaces etc are different between manufacturers and even aircraft type. The easiest explanation is that small leaks of hot air may be present on any bleed system. The delta in temperature could be small but if the ambient air inside the forward edge of the wing is already warm due ambient heating , that may tip it over the threshold. This happened with the earlier aircraft and Airbus implemented this optional procedure to keep the slats deployed. All they state is that the rate of bleed leak warnings MAY be reduced by keeping the slats out. Over the years there have been changes and updates in seals, components and the monitoring systems (plus newer aircraft) which may mean that airline may not suffer from the bleed leak events. In this case, and airline MAY not ask their crews to do it (or do it if needed in their defined conditions). The operational complications come as some refuellers refuse to refuel the aircraft with slats out, leading the crew to retract them using the hydraulic systems. Hope that makes sense.
On any a318-321 the Flaps config will automatically switch from 1+f to 1 if ias is above 210 kts with the flap lever in pos 1. flaps 1+f is actually only avail with ias below 100 kts or when switching down from a higher config. Greetings
How are you moving around like that ? Looks different than the showcase camera. Also on a sidenote I'm always mesmerised how good the fenix team modeled the plane in some cases even better than pmdg (in other cases its also not as good)

Have you ever tried the Horizon sim 787-9? I wonder if the trim is accurate there. Could you check it please as real life pilot please? First of all the trim the aircraft calculates on the ground is usually between 4-5 it shows in the outside view value of -40 % or -50 % trim - in my opinion this is wrong - I always counter that by setting it to "my trim" which is 6.5-7 - then the outside view instruments shows -18 to -22 % of trim. With the trim original (calculated) value the aircraft climbs really rapidly and at some point the trim is so "strong" that even full forward pressure wont level up the aircraft. I fixed this my setting it to the 6.5-7 trim value like I said, but after take off if I just hit the trim up or down it seems that it resets to the calculated trim and the aircraft climbs rapidly. I'm 100 % sure it is wrong, but unfortunately I'm not real pilot to be able to confirm. So if you have time. Could you take a look please at horizon sim 787-9 and do one take off and tell me if it is completely broken or accurate? Thanks.
How do you alight the stairs so naturally as irl ? Do you use fsrealistic Or something else ?my fsrealistic stair movements aren't rhat natural.. have to scroll mouse wheel to reduce height with each step etc.
So the air conditioning bleed air packs can cool properly and not overheat the wing. There. Saved you 8 minutes of screaming simulated APU with some guy taking far too long to explain this while trying to talk over it.
My virtual airline deducts points for leaving the slats/flaps extended after shutting the engines down at the gate. Seems they need to take other factors into consideration before automatically subtracting points. Bastards!
I think most of the apps used by VAs to monitor flights don’t factor temperature, so they just assume that you forgot to retract the flaps after landing.
One of the reasons why I don't fly for VA's anymore. Others deduct points for not turning the lights on/off exactly at 10.000 (whatever the reason...), deduct points for exceeding 250kt below FL100, even in controlled airspace and on ATC instructions. Yet others give you more points, the smaller tha landing rate. I don't like those static systems, that's a reason why I don't fly for VA's anymore.
@@A330Driver i agree with this. im lucky to have found a VA where we are a mix of semi hard on realism to fully realistic and provide stuff to make the flying more realistic, IE changing callouts, giving advice on procedures and we even have full procedure manuals based off the real companies procedures being written by me because people have asked for that. its rare to find a VA like that
@@A330Driver before inclement weather like a thunderstorm i have to go to all the gates and raise the flaps to the fully retracted position if a severe storm is to be forecasted.
