Every nervous flyer should be watching these videos. I know it's disconcerting being in a small metal tube thousands of feet in the air with absolutely no control over your destiny but these guys really know what they are doing. The amount of planning and monitoring on even the shortest flight is staggering. Flight crews like this are a credit to their profession.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and the great detailed feedback! One of the reasons why I make these videos is to help fearful passengers reducing their anxiety. Have a nice day and always a safe flight!

[@peterc2248]

I have great faith in pilots but far, far less faith in the beancounters who always want to cut corners. I avoid flying for many reasons but it always plays on my mind that some accountant somewhere has cut the budget for maintenance, or training etc.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das hilfreiche Feedback! Was den Funk betrifft, ist es tatsächlich schwierig, es immer gut passend im Video hinzubekommen. Das hat damit zu tun, dass es nur eine Tonspur für die Kommunikation gibt. Das Lautstärkeverhältnis zwischen Funk und der Kommunikation zwischen uns im Cockpit lässt sich im Nachhinein nicht ändern. Hauptziel ist es immer, eine Übersteuerung zu verhindern und trotzdem sowohl die Kommunikation mit ATC als auch im Cockpit laut genug wiederzugeben.

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! In den Sinkflug geht man natürlich nur mit Freigabe von ATC. Allerdings heißt es auch manchmal “wenn ready, descent Flightleveel xxx” Dann darf man den Sinkflug sofort oder auch später starten, ohne dass man dafür eine weitere Freigabe benötigt.

Nice landing, what was that caution in 28:27?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks! The landing of the main gear was very soft. With touchdown, I set the thrust levers to idle reverse. The ECAM showed a caution for a very short moment because it needed a second or so to realize that the plane is already on the ground.

[@crypto1701]

What an awesome Captain! I love the part at the end where you talk about the landing.. what did happen and what could have happened. That's a great learning experience! Your FOs must love you! One question.. you didn't do a callback on the turn to 310°, the two of you verified it with each other. I listened to it several times and it sounds like they said 330°, not 310°. They gave you another turn right as you got to 330°..

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching, the kind words and your feedback! We got the instruction to turn right heading 330 at 21:33. The readback was in accordance. And we set the heading to 330 (for a base leg). After a while, we got another vector for the final intercept. Our crew confirmation at about the same time was for the new minimum for the (changed) approach. This was 310 feet. The "heading" call was just an FMA call. I called heading because I pulled the heading knob after NAV blue appeared on the FMA due to the sequencing of the new approach. It may sound a little confusing for an observer. But we did everything in accordance to ATC instructions. The late confirmation of the minimum was done due to the last minute change of the approach from VOR to ILS.

I hear ATC giving an ILS option for 26L, not 06L, around @20:08. Of course that doesn't make sense, or is either my bad hearing, or a mistake no one seemed to notice... I think I hear ATC saying the localizer is now "service full", and the reason why you, during arrival, were planning a VOR approach, as the ILS was temporarily out of service, correct? And thanks again for yet another Saturday treat. Love it.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The ILS was per Notam (Notices to air missions) not useable until after our landing. I think this was due to maintenance work at the ILS. ATC and the initial ATIS told us that we have to expect the VOR approach for 06L. We prepared the approach accordingly. The ILS was back in working codition earlier than expected. So ATC offered us the ILS, which we highly appreciated. I just heard again the audio. It is a little difficult to understand at 20:08 But there is no 26L. Also the wind was only allowing approaches in that direction and all the traffic was directed to 06L. The approach clearance at 22:46 was easy to understand and without any doubt for the ILS Z runway 06L.

There are 2 different white markings visible. The first, which you see before we start the descent, shows the precalculated top of descent. The second white marking, which showed up after we started the descent, shows the point at which we intercept the precalculated idle descent path. The second marking showed up because we started the descent a moment prior reaching the top of descent.

I believe becouse the airplane had a little bounce after touchdown and captain set reverse thrust on touchdown, the plane didn't feel weight on wheels so it displayed a ecam warning.

The landing of the main gear was very soft. With touchdown, I set the thrust levers to idle reverse. Them the ECAM showed a caution for a very short moment because it needed a second or so to realize that the plane is already on the ground.

At which height RA did pilot flare in this video? (Look quite low the sink rate starts to reduce)

[@kam_a3216]

Captain - When the FO mentoned the 20-min fuel reserve does that take into consideration the time it takes to fly to your alternate? In that case can you comfortably hold longer than 20 minutes near LEPA or do you have to divert once the 20 minutes are up? - Thanks a ton for another mouth watering video - Kam

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Hello Kam, thanks for watching and the kind words. The mentioned 20 minutes extra fuel is on top of the fuel to fly to the destination runway plus the fuel to the alternate plus 30 minutes holding. If we would have diverted after the approach, we would have landed with 30 minutes holding plus the 20 minutes extra fuel. Legally, we have to land with 30 minutes of fuel in the tanks. If it would be lower, we would have to declare a fuel emergency. Holding longer than 20 minutes at Mallorca airport would have been possible, but this would have eliminated the alternate airport. The only requirement then would have been to land at LEPA with 30 minutes of fuel in the tanks. If the weather is fine, without ice, snow or thunderstorms, it may sometimes be better to use some of the alternate fuel and stay at the destination. Especially if the destination has 2 or more separate runways. In bad weather situations, the 2 runways won’t help and an early diversion would be a wise idea. We plan for all that during our flight preparation. If we expect bad weather or closed runways, we take more extra fuel than on days with good weather. Have a nice day!

[@kam_a3216]

why CAT 1 still shown even when A/P disconnecting ? sir excuse my unknowledage as i told you ealiar iam an engineer .

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question. The FMA always shows the current landing capability. If both autopilots and the autothrust are on, CAT3 is dispayed. During a manual flown ILS approach, the max capability is CAT1. The CAT1 minimum is indicated on the approach chart and entered by us in the MCDU. Afterwards it is shown on the FMA.

[@solowayfarer]

what is that device when parking in the gate that replaced a person aircraft marshaller called?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

This is a visual docking guidance system. The brand name of the system which is installed in Mallorca is SAFEDOCK.

[@zeeman9057]

Fantastic footage. For same reason LEPA Ground was rather implicit with her taxi instructions. No "vacate via N3, turn left North, North 11, Link 1, F, LG " and so on. I noticed that you parked on stand 42. I mean it was empty so no harm done. Didn't she give you stand 40? F/O also said stand 40 during readback.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching! At 28:54 we got the clearance from ATC to turn left and to taxi via Foxtrott and Victor 2 to stand 42. This is what we did. Taxiing to a wrong parking position would not harm anybody. But the ground crew would be at the other parking position and the passenger gate would need to be changed, including the crew for the gate would need to move. So taxiing to a wrong position would make some trouble. If you watch us taxiing into the stand, you see that at stand 40 is no ground crew. Also the guide-in-system at stand 40 would have been switched to off. In general, the taxi instruction here was very easy and she made it not too complicated. "vacate via N3, turn left North, North 11, Link 1, F, LG" would be way too complicated for the same message.

Wie hört ihr euch gegenseitig, wenn im Funk ständig dazwischen geredet wird? Gewöhnt man sich einfach dran oder gibt es da einen Trick?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Wir hören durch die Kopfhörer genau das, was man auch im Video hört. Man muss sich sehr konzentrieren und gewöhnt sich daran, dass man auch während wir miteinander im Cockpit sprechen, immer im Hintergrund den Funk so mithört, dass man antwortet, wenn wir selbst gerufen werden und aber auch mitbekommen, was so um uns herum passiert. Das fängt ja schon in der Flugschule an. Auch dort läuft während der Ausbildungsflüge im Hintergrund immer Funk.

Before you were handed off to tower you were instructed to keep speed at 160 knots. Then when tower told you to expect a late landing clearance you changed the speed to even slower. Can you do this without additional clearance?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It was not specified until when the 160 kts should be flown. As we cannot land with 160 kts, we had to reduce the speed for landing to be stabilized at 1000 feet above the airport elevation. If ATC wants us to maintain a certain speed until 4 miles or so, they usually tell us. Most of the times we tell ATC that we start reducing speed. Here ATC told us that they have an additional departure and we have to expect a late landing clearance. To avoid a go around, we continued our speed reduction after this information.

I thought most ATC was supposed to take place in English internationally? Do they switch to another language if there is confusion in communication?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

In Spanish language areas, ATC sometimes speaks Spanish with local airplanes. The same is true for French language areas. Spanish, French and English are ICAO languages.

[@edwin7507]

why the fisheyed glass used on the frontscreen, even on the ground it looks more than ridiculous.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the question. My idea is to give the viewer a picture which looks very close to what you see on the jump seat. I checked out different camera angles. After several tests I found out that the current picture looked best. I will continue to improve the videos. So over the time I may find a better alternative which has the same angle with a more straight picture.

[@examplewastaken]

What is you SOP regarding turning on the seat belts on approach and what N1 speed do you wait for before turning off the beacon?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We switch the fasten seatbelt signs on latest about 15 minutes prior estimated landing. There is no certain Airbus N1 limit for switching off the beacon. Requirements are here that the engines are off and the engine parameters are decreasing.

[@examplewastaken]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the response! Having no specific N1 limit in place explains why I see it differently each time

[@fxnn_the7356]

when was the flight? I also flew to Palma on April 6th

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I usually do not release the exact date or time for privacy purposes. But it was not on April, 6.

[@formula1forever350]

what cautions after touchdown? I hear the beep

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The airplane needed a second to realize that it was already on the ground after this very smooth landing. The caution showed up with reverse selection at smooth main gear touchdown.

[@christopherstrube2321]

Is the language in the Cockpit from Eurowings Englisch or can Speak German with the Senior First Officer ? Have a good Day.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question. All manuals, books, instructions, callouts and checklists are published in English. Also, the radio communication has to be done in English. All other communications within the crew at Eurowings Germany can be done in English or German. Have a nice day!

[@christopherstrube2321]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the fast answer.

[@Draax1]

What I do flight simulator usually is let the autopilot guide me down to the runway then at around 1000 feet i turn it off with easyjet I would like to ask you why you're manually flying so early.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Autopilots are nice. But we still have to be able to fly manually, even raw data without the flight director. Every pilots decides individually when she or he wants to switch off the autopilot. During an instrument approach, I usually switch it off at about 10 nautical miles on final. Other pilots may act differently.

[@Draax1]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos if i would do it i would do it around 7 miles or something

[@Draax1]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos in simulator it's hard to fly manually because you have to do things yourselves and no copilot

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@Draax1 Sure, if there is just one pilot, it is a good idea to use the autopilot to reduce the workload.

[@Hausi84]

Krass, da gibt es nur ein Joystick und keine Steuer/Lenkeinheit in der Mitte???😮

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Der Sidestick an der Seite ersetzt das klassische Steuerhorn. Es gibt auch Flugzeuge, die ein Steuerhorn haben und deren Inputs elektronisch umgesetzt werden. Ich finde den Sidestick super. Die Bedienung is intuitiv und ein Pilot, der vorher mit einem Steuerhorn geflogen ist, braucht nur ein paar Minuten Lernzeit bis er mit dem Sidestick umgehen kann. Im Airbus werden die Signale des Sidesticks elektronisch von den Flight Control Computern verarbeitet. Diese helfen bei der sicheren Flugdurchführung. Im Airbus gib es neben den Sidesticks weiterhin die klassischen Ruderpedale und die Trimmräder, die jeweils durch Seile mit den hydraulischen Aktuatoren verbunden sind.

how much are the trims ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS) is changing during the whole approach. There is no fixed setting. For takeoff, we set it in accordance with the loadsheet.

War das zufällig am 8. Februar?

[@henrikolsen5]

More questions / stuff to learn :) Right around touchdown at @28:20: The NEG on altimeterstrip on PFD is new to me, is that caused by a slight inaccurate QNH given by ATC? Is that the reason for the master caution / alarm going off briefly, or is that from a small bump / reversers out ever so early, or?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

One hpa pressure change means 30 feet altitude change on the altimeter. If an airport has an elevation very close to zero, it may happen that it shows a few feet below zero even with the correct altimeter setting. One hpa more would show 30 feet more. Thats the lowest possible increment. Also, the QNH sometimes changes fast. ATC updates on it may take a moment.

[@justintv1905]

that master cation was there, cuz cpt pulled reverse before touch down

[@D4rthDuck]

Was war die Warnung direkt nach dem touchdown? Wackelkontakt in nem Sensor?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Nein, kein Wackelkontakt. Die Landung des Hauptfahrwerks war extrem weich. Die Schubhebel habe ich dann sofort auf Idle-Reverse gesetzt. Das ECAM-System hat dann kurz gemeckert, weil der Flieger erst mal realisieren musste, dass er schon am Boden ist.

[@DaVinci1836]

Why was the atc speaking spanish?

[@TheReverses78]

Cuz they are in Spain...

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos the thing like i saw in every movie. Similar like car steering.. pilot control the plane with 2 hands n balance it..

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@OxMani Conventional airplanes use a steering horn, which you are referring to. Airbus airplanes are fly by wire airplanes. The plane is controlled by a sidestick. You can see this sidestick during the final approach in the left corner of the video.
