AIRBUS COCKPIT TO LARNACA 🇨🇾 (LCA), CYPRUS | Flight preparation, briefing + full approach to Rwy 22

[@trollarcindustries2897]

I respect this Captain very much. You can tell how switched on he is and that's what you call total professionalism. Always nice to see.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you so much for your kind words about my person! I love to hear that! Have a great day!

[@clairegrube429]

The fact that your company allows to post these videos and is relaxed about it, is (at least for me) an advertisment to fly Eurowings! I visit Cyprus often, so I hope to hear that you are the captain on my flight some day...

Good morning Gentlemen, I hope you are both well. Your videos are now so much more than they were to begin with, they have evolved, and continue to do so in many ways opening the world of the Pilots for us. From the perspective of the Passenger we had no idea of the planning, thought's, briefings etc. that go on in that secret cabin up front so these videos are not only interesting but informative and also very reassuring. I look forward to seeing more in the future, keep them coming! Thank you.

[@Strathclydegamer]

Absolutely fantastic! Love the addition of the briefing! This channel would be superb for those nervous of flying, I have to imagine it would be very reassuring to see how much work and planning goes on behind the scenes. In my opinion you’ve managed to resolve the sound issues very quickly, perfectly clear. Beautiful views as always, looked like a wonderful day to fly, yet another great video. I mentioned in my comment on your last video that I had a flight sim session coming up, well I had it. The A320 was very different from the 737, so much more enjoyable not having to worry about the trim. I appreciate that’s something you’d get used to as a real pilot, but when you only have an hour in the sim it’s a challenge I found overly difficult. No such issues with the Airbus. The Instructor kept me on my toes by throwing in an APU fire after departure, then a birdstrike and number 1 engine failure as I returned. We had a discussion about whether a Mayday or Pan-Pan was more appropriate, I had given a pan-pan prior to the birdstrike as the APU fire had been extinguished and the “aircraft” was otherwise working, would be interested to know what a real life Captain would think of that. We finished off with a visual approach to LAX, a wonderful experience. As always, dankeschön aus Schottland 🇩🇪🛫🌍🛬🇨🇾👨🏻‍✈️

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your great feedback and for sharing your experience! The captain is responsible and finally has to decide if a situation requires a Mayday or Pan call. Mayday means immediate threat to passengers, crew or airplane and after the call, the crew can do whatever they deem necessary to get safely on the ground. Rules and regulations, checklists …. are optional after the call. Before, the crew has to follow the procedures. Mayday also gives the crew the possibility of an off airport landing or a landing at a closed airport. A Mayday airplane gets priority handling by ATC and everyone else. Pan Pan is just an urgency call. Some situations are easy to decide: A fire onboard for example is always an emergency situation. An engine flameout may be no emergency situation because the plane also flies with one engine. The surrounding circumstances, like required deviation from routing may require a Mayday call. A double engine flameout for sure requires a Mayday call.

[@Strathclydegamer]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you Captain, I very much appreciate you taking the time to provide a detailed response!

[@mycats1913]

Captains. I am in AWE of you pilots. In addition to flying the plane you have to be mathematicians, meteorologists, physicists, mechanical engineers, linguists and so on. How do so many pilots actually become qualified?? I find this content so very interesting. Thank you for sharing with us ordinary mortals! 👍

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks a lot for your very kind words! Becoming an airline pilot requires certain skills and a good amount of training. After the pilot has the license, the airlines do additional checks to find out if the pilot is qualified for the airline. To keep the standards high, all airline pilots are continuously trained and tested until their retirement. Have a nice day!

Thank you for taking us into the cockpit with you. As an outsider, it is really very interesting to find out what happens in the cockpit during the various maneuvers such as take-off, approach cruise, descent, etc. Everything has to be done and how the coordination between you and ATC works. I am experienced in flying myself, but "only" in glider plane. I fly the A320neo in the Microsoft flight simulator 2020 and I learn a lot from your videos. More of this please. Thank you, Stefan. Best regards and maybe we'll meet on a flight to Fuerteventura, my favorite holiday destination. Hendrik

Thanks for your great feedback!

[@sawyerhja]

Another great video. I continue to be amazed how you read back ATC's (often complex) instructions accurately - without making any pencilled notes; how long does it take to master this during training? When reading the Approach checklist, what does "Bravo 210" mean for the 'Minimum' item? And, @39.25, you requested something "...when available", what was that?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your financial support of the channel as a member! We learn to do accurate ATC readbacks especially during the instrument flight training. As a new pilot, it is sometimes challenging, especially when flying the first time into another country. The slang is always a little different. To make the readbacks easy, we try to dial in all the instructions as soon as possible. Then the pilot monitoring can readback the values which had beed set by the pilot flying. We also use the MCDU keyboard for short term notices. I said „Baro 210“. This was the decision altitude for the approach. At 39:25, I said „VLS check when available“.

Great video sir! I really enjoyed seeing all the procedures (currently a flight student. Could you explain why you kept the APU running instead of connecting to th GPU on ground, doesnt that mean extra fuel consumption?' Have a wonderful weekend and always happy landings!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks! I do not remember exactly. But you need to keep in mind that the APU also provides air for the airconditioning of the cabin. It was warm and we had a short turnaround. Also, some airports charge a good amount of money for the use of the GPU. Even if it is just for a few minutes.

[@lukiohl]

Thanks of the Video! Awesome flight and great teamwork! Can somebody explain to me what is done during the VLS Check and why most of the time there are added about 2 or 3 knots? Thanks!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We compare for the VLS check the VLS which is displayed on the PFD with the VLS which is displayed on the MCDU. If the VLS on the PFD is higher, we add the difference between both VLS-speeds to the approach speed in the MCDU. Both VLS have - depending on the airplane hard and software - different sources. The PFD VLS is calculated by the FAC on the basis of aerodynamical data (measured angle of attack and our entered CG from the loadsheet). The VLS on the MCDU is calculated on the basis of the entered zero fuel weight from the loadsheet plus the remaining fuel.

I completely agree that showing all the details of the FlySmart calculations would be a great add on to the videos. Right now, I cannot do it because until now I was not able to get a permission from Navblue, the software manufacturer, to do so. It is not 100 % sure if a permission is really needed.

Did you monitor Ercan on VHF 2 on your side while your F/O was on VHF 1 with Nicosia? Also, when you talked to the cabin at time 11:33, you selected the ATT transmission key on the ACP and used the INT/RAD switch, correct? INT is only the cockpit/ground engineer communication circuit which doesn’t include the cabin from my understanding. So you would need to use RAD as a PTT key in order to transmit to the cabin crew. Did you hold down the switch in the RAD position? If yes, doesn’t that mean you hot mic and cabin crew cannot talk with you? I wanted to ask as it seems like you are continuously holding down the switch in the video.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Yes, you are right, we were talking to Nicosia and to Ercan. I spoke to Ercan and the First Officer spoke with Nicosia. The cockpit interphone includes the outlet for the ground crew/pushback driver/ramp agent. It does not include the cabin. If we want to talk to the cabin, we have to select the cabin and we have to push the transmit button when we are speaking.

Interesting about the GPS spoofing going on, have you experienced this at all? What do you do, fall back to VOR/DME and inertial references?

[@reaper378]

I was going to post about this what’s the cause ? Military jamming / ECM ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your question. The airspace at and near Cyprus is known since a long time for GPS receiving problems. I do not know what exactly is causing it. Without GPS, we fall back to our 3 inertial reference systems which are doing position updates via VOR/DME. If the IRS systems would fail, we still could navigate by VOR/DME ... During the approach in the video, we had a very short GPS accuracy reduction which resulted in an ADS-B out signal stop. It came back after a few moments. At 40:30 we had a GPS primary loss on our system 1. It came back at 41:29. You can see this in the lower part of the navigation display. This was not problem, because we were flying an ILS approach and we even had the runway in sight.

I look forward to these posts every weekend. I didn't know you get set how much fuel you need in the cockpit. Is this true captain? I'm not sure if I heard correctly. If so does that display somewhere so that the person loading the fuels knows?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It depends on the airplane. All A320 family airplanes have an outside refueling panel. We set the fuel amount we need at this panel and the refueling truck will deliver until the plane closes the refueling valves. Some of our airplanes also have a small refueling panel in the cockpit. We can use this also to set the fuel amount required. This panel has limited functionality in comparison to the outside panel. But it is good enough for normal refueling operations.

Hello, can you please film a landing in Preveza/Lefkada

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

As soon as I am scheduled again to Preveza, I will do so.

[@-vv6ss]

Oke,thank you very much!

[@aviationknowledge8596]

Kannst du eventuell mal den VLS-Check etwas genauer erklären und ob das auch in Zusammenhang mit der GSmini steht bzw. was das genau ist?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Der VLS Check hat mit der Groundspeed Mini nichts zu tun. Beim VLS Check vergleichen wir die angezeigte VLS auf dem Primary Flight Display, also dem Bildschirm mit dem großen künstlichen Horizont mit der VLS, die auf der MCDU, dem kleinen Bildschirm mit Tastatur angezeigt wird. Ist die VLS auf dem Primary Flight Display höher, addieren wir die Differenz auf die Anfluggeschwindigkeit und überschreiben die errechnete Anfluggeschwindigkeit in der MCDU. Die VLS in der MCDU wird auf Basis des von uns eingegebenen Gewichts ohne Sprit plus den Tankinhalt errechnet. Die VLS auf dem PFD wird auf Basis von aerodynamischen Daten, dem Anstellwinkel der Tragflächen plus der von uns eingegebenen Lage des Schwerpunkts vom FAC Computer errechnet. Das gilt nicht für alle Airbusse der A319 bis A321 Serie. Je nach Modifikationsstatus besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass beide VLS Anzeigen aus der gleichen Quelle kommen. Dann gibt es natürlich keinen Unterschied im Ergebnis.

Did you experience any GPS spoofing/jamming?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

2 times. Last was shortly before landing. But it did not matter because we flew the ILS approach.

when are you coming back to daytona FL?

My home is in the Daytona area. I am every month for a while in the area. This is also the location where I do the postproduction of the videos.

@@obalobastic Yes.

[@jackhemm98]

does the gps jamming affect your flights to cyprus? when i arrived last month my phone thought i landed in beruit 😂

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question! It does not affect our flights to Cyprus! With the Airbus A320 series airplanes, we use GPS, but in addition we have 3 IRS systems. These are Inertial Reference Systems. Before the flight, we tell the systems where we are and after that they measure the acceleration and are able to display the current position. The system is updated by GPS or / and ground based navigation aids (VOR/DME). If the GPS is not working or unreliable, the ground based navigation updates are good enough. For the approach, we used the ILS, the instrument landing system. This is completely ground based and does not need GPS or so.

[@jackhemm98]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you for explaining :)

[@andrewpoison]

@37:10 - I found it interesting that the callout from the computer was "twentyfive-hundred" instead of "two-thousand five-hundred". Is that an Airbus A319-thing? I only every hear them calling two-thousand five-hundred" on the A32x.

[@lukasgraesslin]

I assume it depends on the installed software. There are also different versions of the MCDU out there (Honeywell vs Thales) for example that differ in some details.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It all depends on the installed software and hardware combination. Some things may also be setup by maintenance.

Hi, how can you set the Fuel in the cockpit? Is there a second fuel panel like on the outside?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question! You can buy the Airbus with an additional „fuel panel“ at the overhead panel in the cockpit. Some planes which we fly have this option installed. This means, that we can set the fuel amount in the cockpit or at the outside refueling panel.

[@HobbyPilot2003]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the answer:) I did not know that until now!

Ein schöner Einblick vom Flug von Düsseldorf nach Zypern warum wird Adana in der Türkei und nicht das Tel Aviv in Israel zum Ausweich Flughafen genommen? Herzliche Grüße aus Neuss machen Sie so weiter ❤

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Der Ausweichflughafen war Paphos auf Zypern. Das ist gleich nebenan. Wir haben uns dann nur entschieden, so viel extra Sprit mitzunehmen, dass wir auch - wenn erforderlich - wieder zum Festland fliegen können. Adana war nach Paphos von der Flugdistanz der nächste Flugplatz, der uns von unserem OPS vorgeschlagen wurde. Das bedeute nicht, dass es auch Luftlinie der nächste Platz sein muss. Die Route ist immer über publizierte An- und Abflugverfahren gerechnet und der Platz muss auch Ausweichlandungen akzeptieren. Manche Plätze tun das nicht, weil die Verkehrslage oder sonstige Gründe es nicht erlauben. Es sei denn, es wäre ein Notfall. Wenn man unbedingt irgendwo landen muss, gibt es natürlich noch viel mehr Optionen: Zwischen Paphos und Larnaca liegt noch eine Airbase. Auch im türkischen Teil Zyperns gibt es Flugplätze.

at the top of desend , if you set the FL270,and you donot push the altitude buton ,it will DES by itself (auto)?

No, it will not descent by itself.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Danke fürs Anschauen und das Feedback! Die gewählte Flugstrecke muss nicht immer die kürzeste Luftlinienverbindung sein. Wir fliegen manchmal eine etwas längere Strecke, um bessere Winde zu haben. Das führt dann dazu, dass wir trotz löngerer Strecke kürzer unterwegs sind. Bei Langstreckenflügen mit zweimotorigen Flugzeugen muss man auch so fliegen, dass man in der zugelassenen Reichweite von Ausweichflughäfen bleibt. Deshalb kann man nicht unbedingt einfach quer über den Atlantik nach Amerika fliegen,

[@nickschuler00]

Hey, a short question from my side about the displayed speed of the aircraft: While flying on 37.000 feet the left monitor shows an speed of round about 250 knots, but on the right on an TAS of 430 knots is shown. Could someone explain what I don’t get here correct? 😅

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

You got everything correct. The TAS is the True Airspeed. The other speed is the Indicated Airspeed (IAS).

[@nickschuler00]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos And what is the difference between the TAS and the IAS? Because a difference of 180 knots can’t be the tailwind in this case.😅

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

True Airspeed is like the name says the real speed of the airplane. Groundspeed is the speed above the grond. If we fly with a true airspeed of 450 knots and have a tailwind of 100 knots, the true airspeed would be still 450 knots, but the groundspeed would be 550 knots. The speed at the speed indicator is the indicated airspeed. This speed indication changes with altitude and temperature. As you see in the video, the higher we fly, the lower is the indicated aispeed in comparison to the true airspeed.
