I'm a 6 year captain on the bus and I enjoy watching Joe's video's - training never ends in aviation and 1StepPrep makes reviewing enjoyable.

[@1stepprep]

Thank you! Appreciate your support!

[@66Bravoproductions]

Joe is simply awesome. He took the Unreliable Airspeed memory item and turned it into something very simple. Us Airbus drivers are basically doing the unreliable airspeed "drill" every takeoff and climbout.

[@Ryan4real]

Been flying A320 for 9 years and still learn a lot from this video. Thanks!

[@bryankellyl2209]

Joe does it again. A short and to the point explanation of a procedure that seems so complex but Joe explains it to simplify it and make it understandable. After 2 years on the bus it finally makes sense. Thank you Joe and the 1step team for such great content. Merry Christmas to all and looking forward to more in '22.

[@1stepprep]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, look forward to delivering much more content!

[@johnkibbey1875]

great video. Love this. He seems to be going very fast, but if you replay and pause, it's easier to take in, and everything is logical.

[@winshevora9733]

Very nicely explained. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and learning. Thank you

[@6862ptc]

That is the first time I’ve ever heard an explanation of WHY we level off for an airspeed unreliable event, and I’ve been on the Airbus for 4 years! Thanks Joe.

[@1stepprep]

You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback!

To protect the aircraft from stalling due to potentially entering high speed protection , you can force the aircraft out of ‘normal law’ and into ‘alternate law’ by selecting any 2 of the ADRs OFF on the overhead panel. This will stop the aircraft using high speed protection which is only available in ‘normal law’. (Note the aircraft isn’t flying at high speed but because the ASI has essentially become an Altimeter, the aircraft ‘thinks’ that your speed is increasing beyond VNE). The best option is to level off at a low altitude however. A good indication of your speed (albeit GPS ground speed as opposed to IAS), is to select DATA … GPS MONITOR on the MCDU. That’s far more reliable than the IAS Tape which undoubtedly will be falsely beyond VNE. Last point: The only method to stop the over speed warning (even though you are not over speeding) is to press the ‘emer cancel’ on the system control panel. Very well presented video Joe. Clear and concise. 👍

Man why did I take so long to see this video!!! Great stuff!! Thanks Joe!

[@Ahm3d1]

Brilliant! You're blessed with the art of instruction!

[@1stepprep]

Thank you!

[@Eric-zq3vl]

Fantastic video sir.

[@highsky9066]

Awesome content, helping me a lot as I am doing my type rating on 320

[@1stepprep]

Excellent! All the best check us out here for more ways that we can help you in your training! www.1StepPrep.com

[@jo3n3o]

Dear, Your video is very useful for training and the experienced pilots who need to refresh the 320 knowledge. Can you do a video how to manage "Unreliable Speed" scenario during approach until landing for any approach of certain airport? Thanks

[@devansh8846]

It is amazing to see how there flight simulators which are so easily available to everyone made so easy to explain and understand. Thanks for the video😊👍🏻

[@1stepprep]

Thank you!

[@fernandonunogoncalves]

You are a real teacher.

[@tomstravels520]

Now the latest A320 and A330 use A350 technology and have Digital Back Up Speeds used to compare against the 3 ADR speeds and can monitor and isolate an unreliable ADR that is giving false speed. These are also reversible so if the ADR starts giving similar speeds to the DBUS it can be declared valid again. If all 3 are declared invalid then the DBUS will display along with GPS ALT on the PFD

[@ignaciosernacampillo9527]

Just a slight annotation regarding the bird. If static is blocked, the bird will be affected so use it with care till confirmed reliable

[@petermcelwain2598]

Hey Joe, Awesome videos. Quick question maybe you can help me clear something up. If you get UAS before Thrust reduction ALT, we set TOGA 15, do we keep this setting until MSA (within TOGA Limit), or passing THR/RED do we set CLB/10 before levelling off at a safe altitude to trouble shoot?

[@schillaci5590]

When I hear Joe, I select 0.75 speed playback :)

[@carlosmunoz7934]

Great info

[@martijnkolthof3859]

You nailed it!!!! AND!! guess what?? with that CLB pwr AND 10 degrees of pitch the aircraft almost automatically doesn't want to exceed the actual flap speed. Have fun

[@uzitzalah7820]

I like so much your videos The are very professional Do you have A320 recurrent training with UPRT ? Thank you

[@tachacastilho]

You are great, love your attitude and confidence! Thanks a lot 🙏🏼✨ Great vid.

[@1stepprep]

Thank you!

[@tachacastilho]

@@1stepprep Thank you & aloha from Brazil ✌🏼

[@jonathanhardwick5126]

Good video, it’s much better sitting by the pool at the FLL long stay hotel. 😜 prepping for the Jan upgrade. Thanks for all the help!

[@1stepprep]

Happy to help, all the best on upgrade training! If you want any in person training contact [e-mail]

[@prc6608]

Excellent as usual.

[@kevinjing9342]

wow ur memory item can memory like a memories.

[@patricklee2554]

So here is my question,as we applying the memory item,we are maintaining configuration,and setting the pitch of 10 degrees with power of CLB,would the aircraft accelerate to 250kts? Or just over the VFE and triggered the overspeed warning?thx Joe

[@a.nelprober4971]

Authothrust disconnect.

[@釗釗-u8t]

Very helpful!!!

[@cyromartinsbicudo]

Many videos I watch with the playback speed of 1.25 1.5 up to 2x. Not in this case. Had to watch 0.75x

[@matthendricks9666]

You forgot one vital aspect. Actually the procedure itself forgets it. How do we know that, why and IF we have unreliable speed after all? Pitch/Power? Maybe it is the pitch and not the power that results in the wrong airspeed. So it is absolutely vital that when you get to the memory-item "pitch/power...15/toga, 10/climb, 5 /climb " so verify that pitch with stby and opposite PFD. One short look at all visible horizons does not take long. If you do that as a habit you avoid confusion .

[@aleksandrpashkov3569]

1. AP - off 2. A/THR - off 3. FDs - off

[@babarahmed9423]

Very nice

[@gertjuergens7105]

But why keeping 5 degrees pitch in cruise let's say FL330? The A/C is normally keeping 3degrees.

[@ignaciosernacampillo9527]

preparing my command, land here and , first 30 secs are on fire haha

[@kakab66]

Hi. How the "bird" is generated? Thanks.

[@goncharrost]

Thank you Joe💛💙

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Joe, can you say unreliable airspeed again? I think you forgot carb heat.

[@a.nelprober4971]

Is that fslabs for p3d?

[@Ahababdelwahab11]

I am hooked, love the energy, and I remember everything in videos, it’s a no brainer to buy your courses with confidence, I Just purchased your A320 course, the best money ever spent, thank you for all that you do Joe! and to everyone at 1StepPrep. Stay Amazing bother 🤙!

[@1stepprep]

Love this great feedback thank you so much! Appreciate you !🙏

[@felixscheffer1029]

Air France Flight 447 ...😮

[@Ahababdelwahab11]

DUUUDDEEEEE ☝️🤯

[@АлексейСавченко-ф1п]

Tooooooo many questions about that) u looks at least as bus’ chief pilot) but still no answers at “what if I’m in EO” (it’s hardest one), and “if I’ll keep pitch 5 till I lose control” (UHMM icing case) Looks great when u “picturising” “fctm-siluations”. For me it is essential to keep in mind that u always have control of u’re a/craft

[@luisduran2082]

AP OFF, ATHR OFF tren FD OFF

[@00492663968482]

Joe I have a question about the memory item procedure. The QRH says we should maintain a pitch of 10 degrees and set the thrust to climb after passing thrust reduction altitude and below FL100 and maintain the current flaps cofiguration. My question is: Isn't there a possibility to overspeed the flaps by maintaining pitch 10 , until we reach msa? Although I might have wrong speed indication on my pfd but in reality the airplane is accelerating.
