Airbus Emergencies: DUAL HYDRAULIC G+Y | Real Airline Pilot

[@hakanr339b]

Learning more about Airbus thanks to you

[@Brimmlinn]

Emi, we really need you pushing a developer for a proper A330. Loved your 737 content and can tell how much you are “in need of” a proper A330 for content. Thanks for all your great content as always!

[@A330Driver]

Indeed I'd give a LOT for a proper A330, it feels somewhat strange not to have "that plane" for videos if I want to do something.

[@raysim1]

With the default a330 you can also trigger A LOT of failures, starting from lights, to hydraulics, including bird strike, tornado, ILS down on an airports or PAPI failures etc. You just need to press « i » and it open the instructor console

[@A330Driver]

⁠yeah, but what's the use of them if the plane doesn't respond right?

[@raysim1]

@@A330Driver I tried some, it works well when it comes to failures (i am not a pilot so I don’t know how it really works indeed)

[@goldenwings1730]

Amazing work , thank you very much captain , keep it up please

[@danielabraham22450]

Waow, awesome, thaks for the lesson !...👍

[@johnmaguire2185]

Really liking the shorts.

[@Jetsim320]

Awesome video! Thanks for uploading these video's, they are my favourite :)

Good tutorial

[@rafgolle1072]

Hi. At a moment, you say there is no point to deploy the RAT because the G hyd is empty. However, FCOM (!A330) says that even in case of low lvl in green hyd, the RAT can be used to pressurise the green sys. It deploys, by the way, automatically in case of low LVL in G and Y hyd. Is it diff on 340 or do I miss something? The Summary, though, says that the line stating to consider the RAT use does not appear in case of G sys Low Level... which seems logical. getting confused... I know that some very low level in the G can be sufficient for the RAT to re pressurise the G sys. Thanks

Excellent

The workload when this happens is huge and clearly shows the need for 2 people in the cockpit. Some questions that came to my mind: 1) Since you didn't have the performance calculations due to the documentation, wouldn't this be calculated by the FMGS? Approach speed with the weight? 2) Wouldn't the FMGS also calculate the braking distance with the current weight and compare it with the length of the runway? 3) Would the notification to the control tower be like Pan Pan or something more serious? Great video!!!

[@A330Driver]

Hi, 1) The FMGS does not take all additives into account. Non normales often require additives that the FMS doesn't know about, in some cases as much as 30kt extra. 2) No, the FMS does not calculate stopping distance. 3) It's a mayday since you have less than two AC power sources available.

[@juniorpasini9137]

@@A330Driver True, that's why performance tablets exist, I ended up forgetting. Why is this not on the FMGS? Wouldn't it be simpler and mostly redundant for you to enter this data and match it with the one provided by the airline and the tablet? Or do you think it could generate even more doubt?

[@Epic_DaVinci]

where in the ECAM actions for duel hydraulic failure does it say change pants? As It'll probably be a needed step!!

[@alessandroceloria]

It's part of the underpants non-normal checklist, to be completed after engine shutdown

[@A330Driver]

😂😂

[@TheAlrayan]

Are using any add on on the 330? and is it xplane 11 or 12?

[@tomw86]

Would you get in trouble if you pushed the flaps out on the low level indication to try to have them for landing?

[@A330Driver]

There would simply be no reason to do it.

[@oettinger31]

If they get stuck somewhere in between, then you are a test pilot of an experimental, never trained for that condition and the aircraft config never tested in those conditions. For your approach speed you would have to consider the higher stall speeds of the less extended flaps, therefore wouldn‘t win anything and for your max speed you would need to consider the lower speed of the higher flap setting. So your safe speed band would decrease, you will lose safety margins. I (as a non pilot) would say that it‘s safer to stay with the trained and documented procedures and aircraft config rather then experiment in such critical situation with passengers on bord.

[@A330Driver]

⁠Also keep in mind that whole you can fly slower with the slats further out You'll still have a much higher pitch. You're already close to the Tailstrike limit with Flaps (Slats) 2, If you went further you'd probably do a three point landing or at least be very close to one.

[@danielconlon2388]

Does it model the failure outside? Eg partial slats/flaps

[@A330Driver]

I never checked to be honest, I don't really care too much about outside models.

[@alvarobravo177]

You know this is Xplane because the weather radar on a 3rd party airplane is working 🤣 Nice and interesting video, thanks!

[@A330Driver]

😂😂😂

[@Brimmlinn]

Agreed! As nice as MSFS is the lack of a functional weather radar is really inexcusable. Really seems like Microsoft was aiming for the day VFR Xbox crowd from the beginning and have been really slow to implement proper weather systems.

[@antb1xp963]

No tilt is a real bummer. I get that gain would be complex, but tilt is essential imo

[@johnmaguire2185]

Is it a working RADAR? If you are at FL360 and there is precipitation at FL80 to FL180 does the display show the weather is below your flight level? Otherwise it’s just a pretty picture that could easily be added to MSFS right now. MSFS Devs have choose not not to add pretty pictures that don’t actually reflect the full functionality.

[@antb1xp963]

Are you etops qualified?

[@A330Driver]

Yes
