The fuel low level ECAM alerts are still valid. These alerts are triggered by sensors that are independent from the fuel quantity indications

[@Captain_SQ]

Great job!

[@AdamC66]

Thanks, definitely helps my understanding whilst ploughing through the QRH

[@Captain_SQ]

Most welcome Adam.

[@ayushchaudhary3583]

Fuel low level ECAM alerts are valid because these alerts are triggered by the different sensors independent of FQI.

[@Captain_SQ]

That's right, great!

[@dindon8492]

Very interesting video, but could you add to this video ATC communication and engine shut down procedure. I think that a/c can’t flight with OEI at Cruze flight level

[@faizalhadifauzi-4290]

yes indeed as the pilots decide to shut down one engine, they need to consider their one engine ceiling. so its a good idea to coordinate with your atc and check your highest MORA/terrain around.

[@널리사]

Because they use independent sensors. Thanks for good info.

[@Captain_SQ]

Good answer! Awesome.

[@张毅-j5r]

Hi dear cap ! If we find that the FQ difference is already 1000kg between each wing BEFORE chrono ,do we still need wait until another 300kg leaking ? Or can we just determin that the leaking is from wing/eng/pylon at that time?

[@Captain_SQ]

Very good question. No need to wait, you already know which side is leaking. Constant monitoring of the fuel is required even before it reach such a large discrepancy.

[@tachacastilho]

Captain, but if you have a discrepancy for example, rh wing has less fuel than the lh wing, why would you turn on the Xfeed? Thank u!

[@Captain_SQ]

Do you mean the crossfeed?

[@tachacastilho]

@@Captain_SQ Yes! Sorry…

[@Captain_SQ]

@@tachacastilho no problem, you are most welcome. =)

[@tachacastilho]

@@Captain_SQ ;)

[@faizalhadifauzi-4290]

only turn on the crossfeed AFTER confirming leak from right engine/engine pylon, following the shutdown of the leaked side engine(ur example: right engine). since the right engine is not running anymore and not using fuel from right fuel tank, it’s better and resourceful to use whatever remaining fuel from right side fuel tank to supply the remaining left engine, instead of it being leaked away.

Thank you Captain SQ!

[@Captain_SQ]

Most welcome!

How can we get that cockpit view used in this video

[@RyanZ225_PC]

fslabs a320 in p3dv5

[@Isuru14]

Hi Capt, Thanks for the video. How do you get the fuel quantity / the FOB in the first place to the ECAM? Is it thru manually inputting the fuel upliftment figures to flight computers or is there anyway that the aircraft itself could weigh the fuel stored in each wing and center tanks?

[@Captain_SQ]

Hi Isuru, when you are on the ground and refuel, the sensors will show you the actual fuel you have onboard. And in the MCDU, you will key in the fuel figures that is shown in the E/WD display.

[@mindforsuccess]

Hi Capt. You must have some of the best videos I have seen on the A320 for review purposes. You're cutting out all the redundancy and focus on what's important. So much appreciated! Two comments I would like to make. 1 Can you cover all the memory item's? 2. Sometimes you're speaking a bit too fast, and some of the technical pointe would had been missed if is wasn't for adding subtitles on the video. Otherwise definitely best I have seen so far!

[@Captain_SQ]

Hi Imran, thank you for taking the time to comment and your feedback. I do appreciate it. Sure I can cover the memory items soon. And noted on the pace. Will keep that in mind.

[@mindforsuccess]

@@Captain_SQ Great. Would love to give you feedback on improvements as you're doing a fantastic job in making a complex subject so easy to grasp! I am rated on the A320 myself but currently not flying due to covid. So instead of spending countless hours on FCOM, your videos are great where FCOM can be used in conjunction with them Thanks again!

[@Captain_SQ]

@@mindforsuccess Thanks again and you are welcome. Ah okay, hopefully with the mass vaccinations globally, you will be back to flying soon. Also in my previous videos, if there are some technical terms which I spoke too fast, there is a playback speed feature on KZbin at the bottom right where you can slow the video down to 0.75 or 0.5 speed. In future videos, I will make the adjustments.

Explain FOPP noise

[@Captain_SQ]

Hi Leon, because of the cavities, the fuel overpressure protector will create a whistling noise. Hence Airbus has installed air flow deflectors to reduce the noise. Basically it is a squarish metal piece installed near the cavity area of the FOPP. You will be able to see it if you are doing an external walkaround check.

[@leonheart999]

@@Captain_SQ nice, thank you so much!

[@Captain_SQ]

You are welcome

Sir With APU OFF is it possible to have Fuel Leak from APU Feeding Line?
