Thank you for all this videos

How is it with the apu and fumes during startup? And u did say in startupvideo, unless you want apu bleed because… what would be the reasons for running apu bleed with both engiens running if anny?

3:02 in fact, you would be impressed about the large number of operators who doesn't count the green operations of airbus (such us ldg lights with flap 1 or single engine taxi) as a normal procedure. As far as I'm concerned, there are not a lot of operators like that left on Europe, in fact I only know one, but a lot of african airlines might don't carry out those procedures. And here is my question, is it really that bad for the environment to turn on and off ldg lights at 10.000 ft or dont doing SETI and SETO? Have a nice evening mate!

[@lemd320]

Another fun fact is that on some airlines the single engine procedure can be performed with the eng 2 if the last turn is a tricky one with only the eng 1 and you are able to do a single eng taxi in with the APU off as the STEWA (I think it is written that way) boletin permits you to have both of the fire agents available with the APU offline.

Excuse my complete ignorance in how the A320 (or any airplane) consoles are designed but aren't the engine switches situated in a place that those can be accidentally flipped? I would expect that such important switches would be somewhere overhead? Also the parking break position seems not intuitive, it would be more logical to be transverse to axis of airplane as On and longitudinal to be Off, but this is minor compared to engine switches. BTW thanks for another interesting video. I'm an aviation enthusiast trying A320neo on XCloud and I fond your tutorials one of the best on KZbin. Also some calming night flights I find very relaxing to watch, like the recent night DHL flight. Thanks!

In real life, you first have to lift and then flip the engine masters, so you can not accidentally switch them.

[@A330Driver]

The Engine Master Switches are guarded, you need to apply quite some force to lift them up and out of position before you can move them. Also there's a guard "wall" just in front of them, if your hands would slip of the thrust levers (I really see no reason why that would happen though) they would hit the guard and just move right over the top of the engine switches themselves. I don't think there has ever been a case where a pilot accidentally switched off the engines in an Airbus aircraft - with the exception of the guys spilling coffee over the switches and causing a short circuit on the A350 LOL

[@lemd320]

Hello @yourobson. The eng masters are already very protected for any accidental operations on them. To actuate the eng masters you must firstly lift and then move the switch to the desired position. About the parking brake lever, I couldn't agree more with you. It isn't intuitive at all, and on new pilots it is common to confuse the positions if you aren't looking at it, but it is just a matter of getting used to it.

Do you know if it’s typical for US airlines to do single engine taxis?

[@antoniopettini9503]

When you taxi with a single engine, the engine to switch off is always the number 2 even if you are using IAE version?

[@A330Driver]

Yes, always #2. This is because how the hydraulic systems are connected to the different engines, which in turn is unrelated to the engine manufacturer.
