CORFU Island 🇬🇷 (CFU) | Takeoff + Departure Rwy 34 | Brand new Airbus A321 NEO | pilots + cockpit

[@zackclibbens2920]

Hi Captain, I would just like to say thank you for your continued effort in publishing these amazing videos for all of your aviation fans and aspiring pilots. They really are a cut above the rest in terms of production quality both visually and audio terms. I particularly love your multiple camera angles, especially those of your instruments. Please carry on what you are doing, I look forward every week to a new release. Happy and safe landings Captain 🧑‍✈️

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you so much for your kind words and your financial support of the channel!!! Have a great day!

[@toml7465]

Hey Captain, once again a great video. I especially appreciated you showing the FIX pages and parts of the SEC flighplan, always a welcome source of information on how to do it in the simulator. Knowing Corfu from MSFS and an incoming flight for a cruise I was especially delighted to see an AIDA cruise ship docked in the harbour, so now I have an impression of how that looks from the air and from the sundeck. NIIIIICE!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your personal and helpful feedback! Have a great day!

What are the parameters of deciding the eng out acc altitude?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

This is done by a computer program from Airbus which knows all the obstacles in the takeoff sector. Whenever possible it is at 1500 feet above the airport elevation.

[@henrikolsen5]

First time I've seen RAAS in these videos. Nice addition in the newly delivered A321. Wonder if the rest of your fleet's A320 variants have new enough EGPWS to software upgrade.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback! I assume that the newer planes may be upgradeble.

[@iain8837]

Hey Captain, 7:13 what are the criteria for starting the brake fan before taxi, a certain air temp, weight, or due to backtrack? Also, regarding the Terain display, do you leave it on the whole flight, or switch it off at a certain flight level? Do you have the terrain and the FO has the WX radar on his, like a 737? Thanks.

[@deltaindiapapa]

It was a wonderful video, thanks for sharing! May I ask how do you think of the ATC staff at the Corfu airport? Do you think they are competent enough to tackle heavy traffic situations and have you experienced yourself any such conditions during summertime?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your good feedback! My opinion about the ATC staff at CFU is very good! They are very competent and helpful! They are doing a great job getting in and out everybody safely at this very small airport. They are able to do it with and even without radar during high and low traffic times.

Thank you Captain again a most enjoyable Saturday treat. I do hope that you have managed to replace your tie? 😏

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for your helpful support as a channel member! In between, I replaced the tie. In tne next videos, you will see me again with a tie. Have a great day!

[@LUTONAIRPORTFAN111]

not only toga, also flaps 3. Did you have packs off aswell, Thats a lot of thrust

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I fully agree! Lots of power and flaps 3. We had no other choice here. If I remember right, the plane was occupied with 230 passengers or so. The runway is not that long and obstacles are very close by. You can hear in the lineup checklist at 10:40 that the packs were on.

[@user-NavalAviator]

hi there CAPT thanks for your well explained flight video!! I just got a question come up these days! when you're in a serious crosswind condition then does the ATC give you guys a ILS approach clearance? or doesn't it matter with wind condition? cuz in a serious crosswind case it's really hard to be on the centerline axis while taking the RNAV or VOR( I believe you guys usually take visual reference the most which is for lateral control) also if you really have to land with the RNAV or VOR then how do you put the fuselage on the centerline?? I mean what's your specific reference? hope I can get answers from you sir! always feel grateful towards you!! take care!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your question! The approach type does not really matter when we talk about crosswind. We have to stay on track. We do this with appropriate inputs with the sidestick. If the flightdirector is on, it shows us how to correct. Moments before the touchdown, we use the rudder to align the plane axis with the runway axis. If the centerline of the runway tracks between your legs, the result won't be bad. To make it easy, you just have to remember how it looks during the initial takeoff roll. The picture in regard to the centerline would be similar.

[@user-NavalAviator]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I really do appreciate your answer based on real life experience!!! I always feel grateful towards you cuz I could see lots of videos from real flight deck also I can ask questions!! Can’t thank you enough and hope to see ya in the sky someday!!!(actually my ultimate goal is to become a pilot!🤭)

[@hugoflying5618]

The new RMP ! Love it ! What do you think of it ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I like it! We can both control the transponder and type in the frequencies. Downside is that we only can have one standby frequency for each radio. With the old RMPs, we could have a separate standby frequency for each radio on each RMP.

[@jermartis]

Thank you for another great video! One question: since the plane was not fully alligned before take off; is the 1st officer correcting this with the rudder input on low speeds with the nosewheel?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The first officer is using the rudder pedals to bring and keep the plane on centerline.

[@jermartis]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you!

[@denisasenov1732]

Great video! I noticed that most of the times the fma shows "rwy" during take off roll but this time it didn't. What is it determined by?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Runway is only shown when the runway is equipped with a localizer transmitter.

[@denisasenov1732]

Thank you for your answer. I've learned so much about the Airbus from your videos. Can't wait for the next video!

[@theaeronauticsfanboy7996]

hello really nice and stunning departure i have 2 questions as u mentioned during the lineup that you werent fully straight who controls the nose wheel steering on the takeoff roll the pilot flying or the pilot monitoring and when is after takeoff checklist performed is it when flaps are retracted or when throttle is set to climb

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the good feedback. The pilot flying controls the nose gear with the rudder pedals. We do not use an after takeoff checklist

[@theaeronauticsfanboy7996]

understood thanks alot@@ApproachandDepartureVideos

[@runa3309]

Ich bin von diesen Videos absolut fasziniert! Was für mich jedoch ein absolutes Rätsel ist: wie in aller Welt schaffen Piloten es, diese Funkdurchsagen akustisch korrekt zu verstehen? Ich habe nun schon so viel zugehört und oftmals auch mehrfach angehört - keine Chance. Selbst bei Videos, die den Funkverkehr als Text eingeblendet haben, oftmals keine Chance.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen lieben Dank für das gute Feedback! Was den Funk betrfft, ist es eine Sache der Übung. Wenn man das regelmäßig macht, gewöhnt man sich daran und lernt alles zu verstehen. Und wenn es nicht klappt, kann man jederzeit SAY AGAIN oder SAY AGAIN SLOWLY sagen. Wir wissen ja auch, was vermutlich als nächstes uns von der Flugsicherung gesagt wird. Das macht es leichter. Einen guten Tag noch!

[@runa3309]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Antwort, Captain! Toll, dass Sie sich die Zeit dafür genommen haben! 😃👍

[@anslucasi0980]

Beatiful A21N, alread watched the landing video and it was superb! I'm really curious about the RAD INT switch in the ACP though, so I think it's usually left in the INT position, so the ground crew could hear all the checklsits and communications since it's a hot mike right? Thank you and have a great sunday.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your good feedback! As long as the interphone is switched on, both pilots and the ground crew hear each other in the headsets. Yes, in this case the ground crew also hears our checklists ….. Most of the time, we switch it to a hot mike after the ground crew has left and use just the push to talk button to talk with them during the pushback. Have a nice day!

[@anslucasi0980]

​@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I appreciate your answer, so if you're not gonna talk nicely about your boss you leave it in the middle position and after the ground crew is disconnected you leave it in the hot mike (int) position 😂

[@derlp1]

Hello Sebastian. Another wonderful departure video from Corfu! 🤩 I noticed that the A321NEO has an enormous climb performance! 🥇 Great plane! What I always think is great about your videos is that you always take really nice shots from the cockpit. Great camera setting! I'm looking forward to the next video! With that in mind, I wish you and your crew a nice week! Kind regards from Styria 🤗 Werner

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Werner, thanks for the great feedback! Yes, the climb performance of the A320 NEO and the A321 NEO is very good, if we compare to the CEO airplanes. Especially at the lower altitudes. Greetings to Styria, Stefan

[@PED1010]

Another great video Capt 👍.What date was this filmed please ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your good feedback! Due to privacy reasons, I do not release the exact date and time of a flight. I am very sorry that I cannot give you a better answer.

[@jofathan]

What was the signal received by the pushback handler ("on the left")? It seemed like there was no eye-contact and hand signal, but just that the tug driving away with the tow bar was the signal?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

AT 6:07, I had eye contact with the ramp agent. She showed the pin and gave a clear sign. You cannot see her in the video due to the camera angle. And before we started taxiing, we both checked again the right and the left side. Have a nice day!

[@ItsTheEasyPilot]

Great video! By the way what did that message on the Nav display mean at 9:20?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the good feedback and your question! The message was that the RAAS, which is the Runway Awareness and Advisory Syste, is working fine. This system would alert us if we would try to takeoff from a too short runway or if we would try to takeoff from an intersection of a runway with not enough remaining runway for a safe takeoff.

[@ItsTheEasyPilot]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos So what about along other runways? I don't know if it's just me but I never see the message appar for all runways... does it only appear for shorter runways to deplete any uncertainties?

[@phoneix035]

Very nice video ! Quick question : if the departure is done at TOGA thrust with Flaps 3, why not also do Packs Off to get even more thrust on this short runway ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the great feedback! We calculated that. It would still have been TOGA. Due to the warm weather, we kept the packs on for the comfort of the passengers.

[@litchfiedr]

That's the exact reason I thought packs were left on, it would of been nasty to cook the passengers who have a fear of flying lol

[@phoneix035]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you for the answer !

[@vplusah]

Awesome, thank you! It is specially interesting to look at PFD :) Do you usually do a flight control check before a taxi or during a taxi?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your great feedback! We usually do the flight control check before we are taxiing the airplane. Have a nice day!

[@Wuthuhn]

Ich habe dieses Jahr sehr oft die Flugzeuge beim Starten / Landen auf Korfu beobachten können. Unten vom Steg oder vom Café direkt beim Flughafen. Ich finde es faszinierend, wie wenig Platz die kleineren Boeing und Airbus- Maschinen mittlerweile zum Starten & landen benötigen . Vielen Dank für ein weiteres faszinierendes Video 💓

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen lieben Dank fürs Anschauen und das sehe persönliche Feedback! Einen schönenTag noch!!

[@HolgerTeutsch]

Thanks again, what wonderful views. A question: what was the purpose of the KRK/25nm FIX INFO? The terrain to the East?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you so much for the good feedback and your support as a member of my channel! We entered a 25 NM circle around GAR. This was for our situational awareness because the MSA in the charts is based on GAR VOR. KRK was just entered as a point for additional awareness. Both are helpful in case of an engine failure or an immediate return.

[@tiziostanco]

Very nice "TOGA" take-off, perfect weather conditions and very professional crew as usual. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and a great pleasure to be an active supporter of the channel!

[@hrishitjangra7649]

A321neo!!!!! Nice video again captain! New radio panel looks really cool as well! I had a question, have you ever flown with IAE engines A319/320/321? if so, how would you compare the overall feel and the performance as compared to this beauty

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your great feedback! Yes, I like the IAE engines. They usually provide a good climb performance. I like the A320 NEO and the A321 NEO more because the performance is even better. It climbs very good, needs way less fuel and provides less emissions. And it is less noisy.

[@HenriqueCarneiroM]

2 things caught my attention today: 1) Flex was not used for takeoff 2) The time to reach 100kt during during the roll seems to be shorter compared to the time to reach 130kt… really interesting

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your observations! Yes, a TOGA takeoff with full thrust was required due to the short runway and the obstacles behind the runway! Have a good day!

[@jjaus]

Another great vid. That A321 has plenty of thrust! Don't know how loaded it was, but that short runway was no problem.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the good feedback! I agree, the plane has plenty of thrust! I like it very much!

Another fantastic video 👍I just wondered, why do ATC sometimes give clearance during taxi. Do they not normally give clearance at the stand? Thanks

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the great feedback! It depends, there are several airports at which you get the final ATC clearance and the transponder code on the way to the runway. At the stand, ATC is telling you which departure you may expect, but this is not the official clearance.
