Watch how to start up and A330 with the APU from cold & dark. With any aircraft, you can't go too fast. Otherwise, you could have potential problems.

As a A320, A330, and A350 typed pilot, you missed a couple things. Fire test first and foremost, check the fire detection and suppresison system is functional. You can connect all the batteries in quick sucession, they're all being connected to the same DC BUS as long as all systems are in normal operation. You do not need to wait for the display to read "FLAP OPEN', Airbus recommend at least 3 seconds, that's all. Love the video though, miss the simpler airbusses haha. So many more tests and procedures we have to do on the A350

Why does exhaust gas rise so high the dramatically drop when starting? Probably a dumb question, but just curious. Thanks
@andrewmalik373711 ай бұрын
It's not a dumb question. The reason is because the hot gases from the combustion chamber are flowing over the turbine (located at the back of the APU) at first. Then once the compressor is up to the proper speed, the cooling air coming from the compressor, flows over the turbine and cools it down.
@SupremeRuleroftheWorld9 ай бұрын
adding to what andrew said: the combustion chamber is flooded with fuel and pools in the bottom wich is why engines always have flames on the bottom of the exaust when starting. those flames usually go straight over the EGR sensor.

APU Bleed burns more fuel and it’s not needed if you don’t necessarily need to have the air conditioning on. Plus, when you first start the APU, you have to let it run for a few minutes before even turning on the bleed if I remember correctly.

I think all of this should be automated For safety
@EndOfLineTech8 ай бұрын
What are you going to automate? Turning the batteries on? Uh no, that’s something you should have a switch for because these aircraft don’t have “ignition” keys it’s just on lol. As for starting the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) that as the name implies is an auxiliary system. It’s a little engine to provide enough juice to start the big engines. And is turned off after start. I really don’t see what else can be “automated” without risk. All he does is: - Flips on the Battery (I’m sure we can all agree it’s best not to leave an airplane on) - Turning on the APU (which yes does require a button to be held, and that actually is a safety feature) - Firing up the APU after it is “started” and open (again I think we both can agree it’s a good idea to have secondary approval and not it just doing whatever it wants) You forget this is an aircraft flown by trained professionals, not Karen in a Mercedes that thinks blindly cutting across 8 lanes of traffic randomly is okay. The safest thing in this situation is control. We’re not talking about 1 old lady in a car we’re talking 400+ souls, we’re not talking about Something you can just coast to the side of the road, we’re talking about easily the most regulated form of travel because the stakes are so high as compared to anything else. Airplanes are already pretty automated, hell they are capable of landing themselves* sometimes. But pretty much every crucial function a pilot would need in most every emergency situation is available to them god forbid they need it. You know why? Because even as strict as avionics design is? Nothing is perfect. Do you really want a fully autonomous plane with no way to manually control it. So that if something screws up and the computer cannot recover you die. Pretty much all commercial flight crashes have been mechanical/electrical related failures. Very rarely is it pilot error. Hmm it’s almost like they are trained… whereas most people in cars walked into a building, said their name, paid their dues and was legal to drive. TLDR: Trained professionals operate this equipment, and it’s unlikely they will directly be the cause of a fatal crash. More likely some system will malfunction, improperly designed, not maintained… This is not just something you park in your garage, flip a switch and go all In 15 seconds whenever the hell you want.

Oh! You must mean the part where you have to tell, again, an auxiliary system to actually activate and fire. You do knowwww an APU is a mini jet that provides electrical power and extremely high pressure hydraulic systems that start the main turbines among other things btw Fuck it lets Teslafy all airplanes. The pilot can just pair his phone to it. Sit in the terminal and using his little app tell it to go to terminal 23 💀 the plane will just turn on, and make its way to the terminal pissing off air and ground traffic control as it slowly and annoyingly moves around, looking like it’s confused. sucking things into its engines and crashing into a plane full of people 💀 what could possibly go wrong.
