Airbus A320 | Tutorial | Pneumatic System | Air Bleed (Bleed Air) Walkthrough

[@standers67]

Your tutorials are best in class. Yet another one that in such an easy way explains the systems from a hands-on perspective. Thank you so much, amazing work!!

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank you very much! Glad you like it! New tutorial and next leg of our around the world tour comes out Sunday! :)

[@bobwadiwala4219]

Brilliant. This channel needs more recognition

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words!

In a word "excellent". So as you know I flew in a A320 yesterday for the first time since starting watching your videos. I didn't know much about the functions of jetliners before watching your videos, so whenever I flew before I never knew at all what was going on. As far as I was concerned I boarded the plane, sat down, the plane started up and made lots of different strange, and sometimes scarey, noises. It took off, flew its course, landed and I left the plane. This time it was so much easier and "less scarey" to fly. I knew almost every noise that was happening, I knew exactly all the phases of the trip. I told myself what was happening at each step from the noises. Like now it is switching from external power, now the APU is kicking in. Engine 1 is starting, N2 is spooling up, N1 has started to spool up now, and so on. I didn't realise that I was saying these things loud however, and the lady sitting next to me heard it, and asked me if I am a pilot I just smiled, didn't say yes or no. She asked me why the plane stopped at the last minute before lining up for take off, if something is wrong, so I told her about the holding short precedure, and told her not to worry all is good. I felt quite good about all that. Now I am hungry to learn more and more. You are doing a great job there captain!

[@waypointsaviation]

Awesome! We're super glad we were part of this! Thank You for Subscribing and Liking and giving us Fun Facts on our videos! You're a Friend and Valuable asset to our Channel! :)

[@pilottamas05]

These tutorials are so much fun,but also so informative!

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank you! We're glad you find it that way!

[@lafayette4381]

Thank you so much, very useful

[@paull123]

One for the algorithm. Great knowledge you pass on.

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks Paul! Appreciate you being part of this channel! :)

[@enderpearl7679]

Great job captain 👍

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank you So much! God Bless!

[@tonyw9152]

Love these systems deep dive videos. You answer the questions I haven't even thought to ask yet! Would you be willing to cover some of the center pedestal equipment in more depth? Things like all the different functions of the RMP? Or the different modes and functions of the transponder and TCAS? Or an in depth explanation of the radar and PWS? Thanks so much for these great videos.

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks for your comment! Yeah sure we’re going to incorporate this into a future Video for sure…

[@jgnoord1]

And another good one about A320 systems. 👍

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank YOU! :)

[@LearneCrypto]

Thanks for the vid but as a cadet myself, I think the cross bleed start has few more steps in the supplementary procedure like turning off packs manually + turning off engine bleed in receiving engine etc

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks! 🙏🏽 Yes, you are right the cross bleed start does have more steps in it, this video was specifically intended to give an overlay on how the pneumatic system works and not a specific procedure. If our members request it we can make a specific video on cross-bleed engine start.

[@moidmahmad]

Best a320 channel , good explanation

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks! 🙏🏽

[@DrexAviation]

These Tutorials are great!

Very nice job!

[@waypointsaviation]

its my pleasure

[@Lamborghini-Murcielago]

Thank you.

[@Steve6TX]

I wow again learnt again so much from this tutorial on the air bleed system 🙏

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks Steve! Glad you liked it! 😁🙏🏽

[@mgmg19867]

Perfect guide to learn about pneumatic system. Thank you

[@jackyyeung1789]

Precise and clear explanation, keep up the good work. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you

[@waypointsaviation]

Thank you very much! Glad you find our videos useful!

[@kelvinhenry16888]

thanks for the simpified videos… keep it up sir…

[@waypointsaviation]

Glad you like them!

[@tiagoandre5582]

Stunning well detailed and simple made explanation. Very helpful for a TR student!

[@waypointsaviation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stefstaf]

I am not a pilot but intuitively, if I wanted to start the second engine with the bleed air of the first (running) engine, I would have turned off both PACKs to conserve more pressure. Let the passengers sweat a little, it's for their own good ;-) Thank you for the informative video!

[@waypointsaviation]

Hi, Thanks for your comment, in the Airbus, you do not need to put the Packs off the system does it automatically, in a B737 you would. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽👍🏽

[@solehismail9668]

Very good explanation.. Awsem!

[@waypointsaviation]

Glad you liked it

[@chrispap5939]

hey captain one question. Which one system do you think is the easiest one to describe the function??

[@waypointsaviation]

That depends on you, for me I guess I find them all easy to explain more or less 😁

[@Rafael-g4c2h]

TOOOPPPP

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks

[@nitinrajesh5291]

Hey I have a question.. What does the high altitude landing button on overhead panel do?

[@waypointsaviation]

Hey Nitin Good question, the Airbus A320 cabin pressurization system is designed that when it detects the cabin altitude has climbed above 14,000 feet it deploys the cabin oxygen masks (the masks that come down from the ceiling) so let’s say we landed at an airport that’s above 14,000 feet, for example Daocheng yading airport in china which sits at 14,472 feet above sea level, if we landed there and opened the doors the emergency cabin pressurization system would get triggered and deploy the masks and the aircraft would not be serviceable until the masks are restored and the oxygen tanks they use replenished, which can take a very LONG time! So to prevent this from happening we push this button (high altitude) which increases the threshold of emergency altitude from 14,000 to 16,000 allowing us to safely open doors without the risk of masks deploying. That’s what the button does Hope this helps :)

[@nitinrajesh5291]

@@waypointsaviation Somewhere I have read that cabin altitude is maintained between 6000 and 8000. But if we are landing at an airport that is located at such a high altitude(e.g. 14000ft) then how the doors are gonna open?

[@waypointsaviation]

@@nitinrajesh5291 Hey Nitin, what you're referring to is the Cabin altitude which the pressurization system will try to keep the cabin altitude at when we're flying at high cruising altitude, so lets say we're physically cruising at 37000 feet, the pressurization system will work to keep the cabin altitude at 6000 to 8000, so even though you're High up in the Air, you'd feel as if you're just at 8000. This is how we keep passengers comfortable at High altitude. When we land the pressurization system adjusts automatically to current altitude we are at on the ground. Which on most places is ok, BUT if you do find yourself at an airport where the altitude above sea level is 14000 and above you'd need to press the High Altitude button to avoid the pressurization system thinking we've had a rapid decompression. Hope this helps

[@nitinrajesh5291]

@@waypointsaviation Got it! Thnx for such a great explanation.

[@paull123]

What scenario would you use the cross bleed to start the second engine ? Just an apu cross bleed fail ? Thankyou.

[@waypointsaviation]

Hey Paul, If the apu bleed fails or is inop, we’d use a ground air unit to start one engine at the gate, and then push back, open the cross bleeds and use it to start the other engine. This should help 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5KroIuOrJump7M

[@paull123]

@waypointsaviation Great thanks 😊 👍

[@CR-eb3iy]

when you recording please i know it is easier for you but try fo fix a camera its shaking a lot thank you videos are super

[@waypointsaviation]

Hi sorry about the shaking, this video was shot before I had the chance adjust the camera stabilizer settings so all should be now. Thanks for watching 😁🙏🏽

[@sumitshahi9666]

Why you open crossbleed valve as its already shows open on the page during cross bleed engine start?

[@Iamaware111]

Yes Captain, could you clarify this., because in single engine bleed, crossbleed doesn't open automatically. In AUTO position, crossbleed valve closes when the APU Bleed is OFF. Maybe it's a glitch.
