------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel, today´s video is the second out of an upcoming Airbus system knowledge video series. Today we will cover some basic knowledge of the A320 hydraulic system,
This is the least you should know prior starting you A320 Type rating. This is not a requirement but definitely nice to know and some of the topics can definitely be within the questionnaire in your airline assessment.
The A320 Hydraulic system consists of three independent continuously operating systems and marked with the colors green, blue, and yellow.
Each system has its own hydraulic fluid reservoir and accumulator but fluids can´t be transferred from one system to another. And the normal system operating pressure for each system is 3,000 psi, which is about 200 bars compared to your car tire pressure which is 2 to 3 bars.
To provide this kind of pressure, each hydraulic system has it´s own pump. The Green and Yellow systems have their own engine driven pump plus the yellow system has an electrical driven back up pump. The blue system only has an electrically driven pump for normal operation and for emergency cases a second pump driven by a Ram Air Turbine, I´ll get back to that later.
Overhead Panel:
All pumps can be select ON or AUTO or intentionally OFF with the respective hydraulic push buttons on the overhead panel. So in the normal operating configuration, there are no lights illuminated on the HYD panel.
ECAM:
So if all system are operating normal the ECAM hydraulic page would look like this.
At the bottom you have the Reservoir level and a fire shut off valve. A green in-line indicates the associated pushbutton switch for the pump is ON and hydraulic pressure is normal.
Here you can see that the BLUE ELEC pump is ON and hydraulic pressure is normal.
An amber LO indicates the pump is ON but hydraulic pressure is low.
An amber cross-line would indicate the BLUE ELEC pump is OFF.
And if there were to be a failure the ECAM HYD page will automatically be displayed with any Hydraulic system fault, or by pressing the HYD pushbutton switch on the ECAM control panel.
Make sure to watch till the end as I´ll be going through some system failures.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe
Big thank you to my fellow instagram colleagues who provided me with a great thumbnail picture.

[@milo4008]

I love the A320 everything is just so well thought out, it's a joy to study it. thanks for your videos, they are really well done and get to the point quickly without any unnecessary rambling.

[@Q8Pilot]

Captain Joe, a brilliant video and presentation. Can you please explain ETOPS in this series or in a separate video. With thanks and happy flying =)

[@christianbro2]

Check Wendover Productions for ETOPS explanation. It is not so complicated, better keep an actual pilot with other type of videos.

[@Q8Pilot]

The concept of ETOPS is not complicated correct, but how to determine capable airports and how it is programmed may not always be straight forward. On a separate note, I don't think captain Joe needs a spokesman, he can decide for himself =)

[@Flyby-1000]

ETOPS.... Engines Turn Or People Swim.... lol... I had to put together a power point for or students on this, at the request of the airlines that are hiring them. Turns out, that when interviewed and asked what ETOPS is, they had no idea...and it's not in the FARs requiering schools to teach it. But now we do, or at least introduce them to it... Extended Twin Operations or Extended Operations, depending on who you talk to...

[@soraydaanneeddun7640]

ok good\

[@toddavis8151]

The QF32 would be a good case study on how the systems affect each other

[@tomstravels520]

True but A380 only has 2 hydraulic systems instead of the normal 3

[@m.a4864]

Excellent, Thank you so much Captain Joe 👏🏻👏🏻

[@shivashankaran4510]

Your instructions are quite useful for the students as well as instructors of sha shib aviation academy.

[@happyfuntime571]

Really appreciate all of your videos! Thanks for making them.

[@msid12341]

Been waiting for your video for long time, thx 😊

[@gooner72]

Great video Joe and a nice tie in with your PTU video from earlier in your series.

[@inamdarkapil]

Like the way you give an in depth knowledge on the subject.

[@mrsavio33]

Excellent video as always! Thanks Captain Joe!

[@prathameshacharya9739]

Great video as always! I'm applying for a pilot program who train the pilots to fly A320s by the end of the program..and your videos are coming in at Just about perfect time. Absolutely love them and very informative. Keep up the good work captain. Cheers!

[@tt-of4xv]

where are you now ?

[@adrianpeterspeters6149]

thanks cpt.Joe excellant thank you for these great videos,thank you again, till next week,.

[@5805e]

Fantastic Captain Joe... Was waiting for the next video of the Airbus series... You rock!!

[@darioinfini]

Grateful you guys are up on all that. At this point in my life it's all WAAAAAY too complicated to keep track of when it's all happening at once.

[@bumbaukkis3]

Do a video about flaps,slats and spoilers

[@HamSweetHam25]

$heikki manners?

[@enzov5462]

I mean it is a good idea $heikki

[@mariomm4735]

Joe you are the best,great vlogs!!!!

[@patpathinayake3586]

Thank you so much Captain Joe. Clear, concise and extremely informative video Please do more videos on all systems. Starting with the propulsion system. Thank you Sir

[@neile8378]

Do a video on the FMS please. Like if you agree

[@abdulazizbahamdain]

SwagRanger FMGC/MCDU

[@sometimesused7742]

MCDU

[@Jet2Guy]

MCDU not FMS and btw it's FMC...

[@lowcostsuperhero]

Here's a simple in-browser simulator that you can play with www.equicom.net/mcdu/ It's limited, but you can press the buttons

[@duskedradiance4165]

nah FMSystem / FMControl, just same name (i im not mistaken)

[@bhojal]

Happiness is new video notification from Captain Joe..

[@deja_brew]

Not a pilot or intending to be, but as an engineer, very intrigued by your work!

[@jeanettearmstrong1682]

You are experience 7 years we are learning KZbin here within a minutes Thank you very much Talents Captain Joe. Foysal

[@artwizz4real]

Thanks for another great insight.... Capt!

[@kruba007]

Thank you for share Captain Joe .

[@PilotAydoo]

Can you pls simulate Captain Sullenberger's situation on the sim and try to land? I want to know how did he managed to do that and the systems when the birdstrike happened. Im sure there is a training for ditching.

[@valeriyarkov9083]

Pretty sure he can't do this, because the simulator is for training, not for games :D

[@CaptShami]

KaNUnCU u can watch the movie sully

[@PilotAydoo]

I know, but i wanna know how did he managed to do that and the systems when a birdstrike happened. Im sure there is a training for ditching.

[@PilotAydoo]

I watched the film. But this is not a movie, this is a training simulation :)

[@HL-xi7sz]

I don't think these simulators can simulate ditching, it's a very rare event and most of the time there's no training for that.

[@anusuyasamratbose8041]

a big applause to you Captain, was eagerly waiting for this series... just fantabulous..

[@elmerwillfred9039]

im 17 yo and i wanna be a pilot. and this channel is giving me so many lessons

[@harshagrawal3474]

after 3 years... Did you became a pilot???

[@conejo7288]

I'm so glad I find your channel big salute to you Captain Joe.

[@shrek6571]

This is a video I was looking for. Nice video! Keep it up!

[@shadowdivekar4457]

This is what I was waiting for since a week

[@satriapndtha]

Thank you captain, so enlightening!

[@Meiestrix]

Very interesting video, thumbs up.

[@BGCflyer]

Nicely done! Very simple and clear. A great review!

[@rwnordmark]

Hi Captain Joe. I always enjoy watching your videos even though I am not a pilot. I have a question for you: What hydraulic system failures have you experienced while you are actually flying a plane?

[@nerdknowledge2056]

This was very well explained. Thank you "Captain" Joe

[@Iamajaccio]

Thank you for your videos Joe! Watch them all. After you're done with this series, if you can, maybe you can answer my question: why is the vertical stabilizer so vitally important to an airplane? I know there was an air crash where a pilot overused the rudder thinking it will help reduce the turbulence, and sadly the vertical stabilizer got disconnected from the airplane and it crashed. I understand the same situation with any other part of the aircraft (horizontal stabilizer, wings etc.) but with the absence of the vertical stabilizer can't the pilot compensate with controls of flaps, horizontal stabilizer etc.? I know the question might be a bit stupid but I'm very curious.

[@chuanyh0n]

Paul Jelly Hello there. Let me try to help explain. Basically an airplane has 3 axis of motion, being PITCH, ROLL & YAW. Pitch is controlled by the elevators at the horizontal stabilizer. Roll is controlled by the ailerons at the wings. Yaw is by the rudder on the vertical stabilizer. Take any one controls away and you lose control of that axis. However of course you can influence one axis with another. But the effect is tiny compared to an actual control and also influencing another axis with another causes other secondary effect as well which further complicate the matter. Its like you are trying to turn your car at speed with one front wheel missing.

[@nicogi]

Excellent video! Very good explanations as always. Looking forward to the next one! Your #1 Canadian fan :)

[@mateuszsioa1977]

Very beautiful video. These videos about planes in my opinion are very interesting. I'm your new fan. I found your video on Instagram. Congratulation!!!!

[@monicaperez2843]

Am impressed how many young people are inspired to become pilots by Captain Joe!

[@Dreamcatchers_tales]

These are great videos. Thanks for posting.

[@steve10509]

These videos are great. I fly a 737 for 6 months of the year, and the A330/321/320 the other 6 months of the year. These videos are a nice refresher.

[@ArnoGoldfinger]

Please tell me you're joking, otherwise it would only be fair to warn people who you fly for.

[@23LAVIATION]

Keep on the great work. Liked this one too. -:)

[@Livai987]

Thanks you very much for this video, a good summary of the hole system

[@strafrag1]

Very informative video, Capt. Joe. Now I know why years ago (1970s&80s) when there was a Hydraulic leak most likely the flight was cancelled. I'm sure that today's technology is much better. Cheers.

[@vojinivenara6280]

Thank you so much for this lesson Captain Joe 💯❤

[@cseblivestreaming]

man that little calm bing @ 2:15 or so made me jump quite bad;-)

[@josephcameron530]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@jakobolsson3582]

2:10 that svaret the hell out of me lmao

[@donkeyb2961]

Thanks for the video "Captain". You taught me lots about the A320 I never knew about. Keep up the splendid work! 😆

[@racsito39]

Gracias capitán. Excelente exposición de los sistemas hidráulicos.

[@pigeon7446]

*Talks about all the stuff hydraulic systems do, talks you through what happens when an engine fails or there is a leakage and how would you cope with it for 7 minutes* "I hope you enjoyed this BASIC INTRODUCTION video"

[@pigeon7446]

This is why I love aviation

[@ericktorres9791]

furedi adam You know you could have just edited your comment and put that in their.Dont have to comment on your own comment.

[@christianbro2]

Yeah it is basic, becoming a pilot requires years of training, you dont get it in a 7 min video.

[@pigeon7446]

whats wrong with commenting on my comment?

[@brandonskent]

Within leak limits "its fine"

[@whatusaytome9471]

Airplanes are complicated but joe makes it sound so simple

[@Stingsterable]

Hi Captain Joe. Could you demonstrate a landing when one of this failures takes place on air? Perhaps you could also show us the cockpit communications with the tower during this situation.

[@ScottSmith-lv8ny]

great video as usual Captain Joe, keep em coming!!!

[@pau_casajuana]

This is my favorite video you have ever done so far

[@hamza-x0x]

keep going captain... i am from Saudi Arabia (KSA)and i love your videos...please keep upload the videos

[@navatone]

Thank you so much for the video! I love Airbus and I love the ECAM! I could read about it everyday all day long. Thank you for the great video. Please keep making ECAM videos!

[@Karankhanna99]

Thank you Capt Joe.. Good stuff

[@LuliLulu]

Captain Joe can you talk about turbulence and the thrill of it? thank you :)

[@mortezaf9853]

Dear Captain Joe ...as perfect as possible . Please help me by a link of your other tutorials.

[@dotrunghieu5250]

I would without a second thought, buying his airbus lessons if Captain Joe decided to do one, thanks captain, wish there were more for the airbus system that i can learn from you, im on line training right now :))))

[@Tricia_K]

Thanks so much! I was recommended this video by a commenter on VASAviation today, after expressing my confusion over a hydraulics incident that had resulted in a loss of Nose Wheel Steering - and I found it so interesting, that I just had to stay and subscribe! :D

[@alexandrosavramidis1554]

Hi Joe i just want you to know that i'm a hudge fan and when i grow up i want to be a pilot. I also want to thank you because you have cleared a lot of aviation releted things cleared up for me!

[@user-qp3hd3cn8e]

airbus avionics are just amazing

[@mauriciostapaitstapait7303]

Muito bom capitão joe

[@mbirth]

I was somehow missing a mention of the PTU "dog barking" sounds passengers hear in Airbus machines. (And a pointer to your other video explaining that.)

[@Kevin_Finch]

Thanks! A bit complex but very interesting!

[@aerding]

can you do a video about the medical test for pilots?

[@xavierzabaleta1654]

I love this a320 series!! great gob!👏

[@jessefajardo245]

Captain, what are those two beeps that are heard like 7 minutes before landing?

[@avstechchannel6128]

Jesse Fajardo May be the Pilots would have Disengaged the Autopilot?

[@renagadeomega]

Captain Joe, I think it would be nice to know how flaps, slats, air break, and spoilers work and how they all effect the characteristics of how the plane performs. Maybe even talk about different types of flaps and how they are both different and the same. Just a thought. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@petercoffield9681]

Hi Captain Joe, great video, I have a question I would like to ask please, Have you ever used a home PC based simulator such as Microsoft Flight simulator X or any of the X-plane simulators and if so witch one do you think is the best for training purposes? All the Best, Peter.

[@Exploratorium360]

One of my favorite Great ! Video. Thanks. a lot. I love all the videos you creat. You are the best...

[@plane_spotter_dsm6502]

Joe does the earth's spin effect flights

[@steve10509]

No, theres no effect. The reason East vs West fights take different times is because of the jetstream.

[@pranjaldutta1]

0:30 his three reminds me of Inglorious Bastards. Nevertheless thank you for sharing these insights. It just heightens my appreciation for these marvels of engineering

[@AbcDef-ob9fo]

CAPT Joe, Excellent!

[@UrielGurdian]

Thanks Captain Joe, very instructive video.

[@GeFlixes]

2:33 "Yam Damper 1" -- Did you mean to spell "Yaw Damper" and if not, what system/part of the machine is that? EDIT: 3:13 Yes, Yaw Damper. Can you tell us more about how the plane gets environment data (Pitot tube, does it have a weather radar, how is data transmitted between a commercial flight and ground stations, how do Yaw Dampener, Slats and automatics like stall warning or auto-reverse thrust get their data from)? Keep up the good work so far! I'm really interested in the technical details of planes - these are marvelous machines.

[@kevinpotter2288]

This video was exceeding well done. I put together the Pilot Systems Training Manuals for the A319/320/321, A330 and A350 (and a couple Boeing aiircraft) while working st USAirways/American Airlines. I recently Retired.

[@elctricalpower2061]

HY Captian Joe, Your videos on every topic related to planes are awesome. I am an electrical engineer by profession but after watching your videos at this time now I am able to be your Co-pilot. I am available 24 hours and you will find me the best pilot. Just kidding, great effort.

[@mikezicg7422]

Thanks KZbin algorithm for feeding me these useful knowlege, I will be prepared to save the plane, as a passenger, when it happens and crewmens are all unconscious due to some whatever reason. (hopfully never)

[@mohammedayaankhazi8970]

The amount of info in this video is just 🔥🔥🔥 great effort sir

[@bige.3474]

I watched the video three times to make sure I heard you correctly. Fluid cannot be transferred between systems. Pressure is transferred between yellow, and green through the PTU, but the fluid stays in its own system.

[@xplaner359]

Thanks Captain Joe. Great video as always.

[@Thepantino]

Very interesting, always clear! Thanks!

[@sullyobrain55]

Thanks a lot Captain Joe. Keep up the good job.

[@yassm]

Great video Joe 😍

[@XOROHN]

thank you for the videos!

[@ahmetcolak4839]

Greetings Joe, Do you have plans of recording a video about the working principles of Flaps and Slats as well as the physical explanation of them? Cheers, Ahmet

[@paulplus3830]

And how often do hydraulic problems like described actually occur? And how often did you personally have to deal with hydraulic problems?

[@thename_is___raj]

Great video captain 👍❤️

[@Airplanegeek777]

Excellent video!

[@TiramisuCorleone]

Captain Joe, what do pilots do when they have to sneeze during landing? Greetings from Stuttgart!

[@Wdym41]

They sneeze and land the plane

[@samsunited4965]

They will sneeze then be starred at :)

[@DrishalMAC2]

Hey captain joe. Can you please explain basic airport chart please. Thank you

[@stebberg]

very nice! could you please make a video about the autopilot :) have a great day!

[@danielegrinzy5824]

Hi Joe, in case of dual engine failure the RAT deployed, but you can also start the APU providing eletric power so the blue hyd pump works normally and you can also start the eletric yellow pump right?

[@kamlong7358]

Hey, Captain Joe. After my dad told me about a scene in the movie The Incredibles where a superhero gets ingested by an engine mid-flight, I wondered how it would affect the aircraft.

[@richardparker9201]

I really enjoyed this video. Something I have always wondered about is what is the "engine and APU bleed" Air systems on an aircraft? I know that it has something to do with the A/C in the cabin, but I would like to know the details of this.

[@MrFuddinator]

The Engines and APU, as part of their normal operation, compress air for combustion. These bleed air systems tap off the engines and APU and use the bleed air for cabin pressurization, Air conditioning, Head pressure for hydraulic reservoirs, engine inlet deicing, wing deicing, and used for engine starting on the A320 family. Other aircraft types use the bleed air for windshield deicing(Some LearJets) and engine thrust reversers(Ex CRJ200). There is a performance penalty on the engines when bleed are used. This bleed air from the engines/APU is usually very hot and at pressures ranging from 15-80 PSI, depending on aircraft. Engines provide a much larger volume of air compared to the APU. That is why typically the APU is only used for air conditioning and engine start on ground. I wish i could explain more but this isn't the place. Also, look up air cycle machine.

[@Rubberdinghyrapids]

as usual fantastic video, thank you for taking the time to create it, are you planning a special video for your 200k subscriber milestone ? kind regards kieren

[@muckyvagrant3632]

Hi Captain Joe. Most of us know about the main flight controls (rudder, ailerons, elevators, flaps), but what are the spoilers and any others on the airbus? Lack of redundancy suggests that they are not critical but it would be great to know what they contribute. Thanks for another great video.

[@saksithshukla2559]

That was a decent explanation captain! 🖒Captain, would you explain how flaps exactly work and what are flaps 1 to 5?
