Diese Videos helfen mir aktuell als Ablenkung über eine schwierige Zeit. Wirklich sehr interessante Einblicke in die zivile Luftfahrt. Die Ausbildung deutscher Piloten scheint sehr gut zu sein. Wenn das auch ohnr Kameras so abläuft dann ist man in guten Händen. Weiter so. Danke auch an Eurowings die diese Videos ermöglichen.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen lieben Dank fürs gute und persönliche Feedback und die Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied! Die Ausbildung zum Verkehrspiloten ist tatsächlich sehr intensiv und mit vielen Prüfungen verbunden. Wenn ein Pilot dann bei einer Fluggesellschaft arbeiten möchte, muss er oder sie ein ausführliches, mehrtägiges Assessment Center absolvieren. Dabei wird die persönliche Leistung in allen Bereichen getestet. Technisches Verständnis, Mehrfachbelastbarkeit, Teamfähigkeit, Wissen und natürlich auch die fliegerische Leistung im Simulator sind nur ein paar Beispiele von dem, was geprüft wird. Wenn das Ergebnis dann positiv ist und der Pilot oder die Pilotin eingestellt wird, folgt die firmen- und flugzeugspezifische Ausbildung. Auch dabei gibt es etliche Prüfungen, die man erfolgreich absolvieren muss, bevor man dann endgültig eine Anstellung findet. Danach werden wir 2 Mal im Jahr im Simulator weitergebildet und getestet und einmal im Flugzeug. Zusätzlich erhalten wir Schulungen im Klassenraum, per Computer Based Training und auch an Übungsgeräten, wie Kabinensimulatoren, Rutschen, Feuerlöscher .... Ich wünsche alles Gute!

[@andrewtaylor9610]

Excellent prioritisation of flying the aircraft from the first officer. It shows how error induced from high workload doesn't have to be lots of tasks but just one extra task at the wrong moment, in this case the frequency change to tower coming just as she was tasked with the flaps setting from Captain Stefan, requiring attention to detail on speed check and correct setting. Absolutely no probs, routinely corrected without drama from the other tower frequency controller and all good.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I completely agree. Thanks for the detailed analysis! Our work is always done in the following order: aviate, navigate, communicate. This enhances safety a lot.

[@neilking]

Outstanding! I love the Heathrow videos. I find myself concentrating trying to keep the situational awareness of exactly where you are on the approach. And it's so interesting seeing (and listening to) the traffic on the ground. I look forward to the return flight and the departure from LHR. I also like the little details at the end like opening the door and seeing the flight deck with still everything still switched off. Great stuff, thanks so much for another great video.

[@cdhagen]

Great that you try to show really a holistic view of the flight, including ground handling which is hard manual work that cannot be appreciated enough! 1:23:47 would not have expected the crew to travel with that much luggage because they are not staying overnight ☺

[@mattrowlandhall]

This approach was a good example of why the speed brake should only be used very cautiously when established on the glide slope. It has a huge effect on the pitch and therefore rate of descent. You can see the aircraft's vertical speed undulating every time the speed brake is used (in and out maybe 4 or 5 times on final approach) and as a result making the G/S tracking and speed control more difficult than needed, with the engines adding thrust at times when it really wasn't desired. Some airlines require the aircraft to be at approach speed + 20kts maximum by 1,000ft RA. Under those requirements, this approach was probably

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! Speedbrake use during final approach is sometimes a good help to slow down to VFE next or so. But it also comes with the downside of possible short term pitch changes which may make the vertical speed control more difficult. Especially with a lightweight Airbus A319 it is not that easy to slow down from 160 at 4 DME to the final approach speed which may be at about 120 knots. It gives us only about one mile to reduce the speed by 40 knots. With an A321 it would be a very easy task because of the higher approach speed. This was the first time that I used the speedbrakes at an A319 during the final speed reduction. In between, I did another A319 approach to LHR without using the speedbrakes at the end. It worked out ok. We were also stabilized as required. Our stabilization criteria are different between "normal" approaches and approaches at which ATC requires high speeds on short final.

[@mattrowlandhall]

​@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Very interesting and I appreciate also your time for a detailed response. It's interesting to compare how other pilots from different airlines go about achieving the same ATC speed control requests, compared to my airline. Speed control at LHR is so critical with the spacing so tight. I totally agree the different aircraft types and weights never make two approaches the same. The atmospheric conditions also have an effect and throwing a radio frequency miss-selection in there too just at the wrong time quickly increases the workload. Quite often we chicken out and request 160 to 5nm, but then it seems for my airline our approach stability criteria is more strict than Eurowings - maximum Vapp +10 kts by 1,000ftRA, unless ATC request speed control and then we can increase to maximum Vapp +20 kts at 1,000ftRA. My previous airline was up to Vapp + 30kts by 1,000ft RA for any approach. It's all very interesting. Happy flying and I'll listen out for you on the radios! Amazing content as always and I wish my airline would allow me to make similar videos haha!

Just be sure to read back runway allocation every time (mandatory) and not to do the "double click" on the PTT in place of a read back :)

[@andrewtaylor9610]

​@@t288msdNo read back required for that as it's not a clearance or information that affects that phase of flight (such as QNH, for example). A double tap is a good way of acknowledging you've heard it without clogging up a busy frequency, if no read back is required.

[@t288msd]

@@andrewtaylor9610 Remember here where talking about Krishs RT exam in a few days. CAP413. Chapter 2.70 Radiotelephony says differently: "Runway in use" is a required readback. Double click of a PTT is non standard and wold fail his RT exam.

Another excellent video, thank you Captain. With respect to Heathrow ATC: am I right in thinking that one controller each covers Approach & Departures, one controller each covers the 2 runways, but the workload for all ground movements between the runways is handled by just one controller?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Danke fürs Anschauen!

[@motorcycleaddict50]

Hi Stefan, Great video! When I go to Heathrow plane spotting, I always like listening to the Director and Tower. I like it because it's always non-stop and I like seeing the A380 and so on. Recently, I've been going to Gatwick plane spotting, but it's not the same there as I didn't see a lot of A380s and Boeing 777s. But the ATC at Gatwick do a fantastic job, as well as Heathrow! When you were established on 09L, I noticed your first officer changed from Director to the wrong Tower frequency. Then I heard that the controller corrected her, but the first officer was already on the other frequency. I've watched the documentaries about Heathrow in the past, but what is the 'Channel 10' that the ground control were mentioning? I've never known that at Heathrow. Quite a few years ago, I used to go into the British Airways training centre at Hatton Cross (you see as you land on both 27 runways). I was landing a British Airways Boeing 777 at JFK as part of birthday celebration which I thoroughly enjoyed! Fantastic experience. Later this year, I'm flying a superior F-35B Lightning Jet in a simulator at the RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. I'm really looking forward to it. When I next go plane spotting at Heathrow with my radio, I hope to hear you over the frequencies! Kind regards, Louis

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Louis, thank you so much for sharing your very personal experiences! Great to hear that you had good time in the B777 simulator and plan to do fly the F-35 simulator soon! I wish you lots of fun in the F-35! All the best to you, Stefan

[@cjmillsnun]

Gatwick is more about low cost airlines and holiday charters. You'll find TUI Airways (Tomjet), easyJet (Easy, Alpine, Top Swiss), Vueling, Wizz Air (Wizz Air, Wizz Go, Wizz Air Malta) and British (Griffin for shorthaul and Speedbird for long haul) are the main users. Channel 10 is a frequency used by BA tugs when they aren't being controlled by Heathrow Ground

[@motorcycleaddict50]

​@cjmillsnun Yeah that's right. Always fly from Gatwick for many years. Sometimes, there is the odd A380 or B777 there.

[@samc6223]

Heathrow ATC really do have their work cut out and nice to see some ground ops.

[@h07swilkinson96]

1:06:56 was the double tap of the PTT to acknowledge comms without jamming the frequency?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

This is correct! The message from Tower did not require a detailed readback because it did not contain a clearance or something similar. But the double click showed to the tower that we received the message without jamming the very busy frequency.

[@angussssy]

1:05:55 What happened here? Copilot read back wrong frequency number, was corrected by ATC but went to the incorrect frequency anyway? Does this happen often?

[@paulmooney1655]

I noticed this too. She misses the correction, contacts the tower controller handling take offs and has to be referred by him to the correct frequency. Possibly Heathrow tower sometimes operates on the single frequency of 118.5 and this is what she'd expected?

[@cjmillsnun]

@paulmooney1655 She was also asked by the captain the set flaps 2 at the same time. It happens.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@angussssy What you see here is something which happens to every pilot once in a while: He or she does not understand an ATC message correctly and changes to a wrong frequency. The frequency was corrected by ATC, but at the same time I asked her to do a configuration change of the flaps. To do this, she has to check for the speed and other things. It is noisy in the cockpit (For the videos, the noise is partly surpressed). Depending on her audio volume setting, it may have been very difficult to understand ATC in parallel to my request. Then she changed to the frequency. It was the other tower and they gave us the correct frequency. Everything calm, safe and professional. No need to worry or talk about. By the way: As professional pilots, we follow this guidline: First aviate, then navigate and then communicate. This was exactly what happened here.

[@andrewmillwood8201]

And very professional “contact other tower” short sweet and understood no dramas made

[@11clarkm]

I can assure you that people mistakenly calling first officers “copilots” happens a lot more. 🤔 Her priority was to assist the captain in flying the aircraft. Had she taken more notice of the ATC, in this particular moment, then that may have impeded her ability to extend the flaps at the wrong speed; a far greater concern. To answer your question, yes this happens every so often. It’s very safe.

[@danielpike3778]

Hallo Crew ✈️ cab you explain, how you determine your cruise flightlevel? There's the planned FL from dispatch and the MCDU shows a OPT FL. On this flight you chose not to fly higher but on on other flights you do. What are the reasons? Thank you for another great video, I also like thr footage from the ground ops!✈️

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you very much for your financial support of the channel as a member! This helps a lot! The flight level which is planned by dispatch is based on several different factors. One factor is a possible flight level cap enroute for short flights. Reason for this is that short flights shall not block the upper levels for overflights of longer distance flights. These flight level caps are sometimes imposed by Eurocontrol and have to be observed in the planning stage. During the flight, if ATC asks us what our requested level is, we may request a higher level. They may grant a higher than planned level because they now have the real time picture of the traffic. The climb to the higher than planned level does only make sense if we can do an optimum descent thereafter. Sometimes we do not request a higher than planned level because we expect a very early descent. This was the case here.

[@danielpike3778]

Thank you very much! I find this also very interesting and your explanation makes totally sense to me! See you next time ✈️👍🏽

[@t288msd]

1:10:00 Interesting that the Aer Lingus landing behind you got a 'land after' rather than a 'cleared to land' due to their close proximity to the runway while you vacated

[@cjmillsnun]

This is instead of the procedure done in the US. Across the pond they clear every aircraft that goes to tower to land almost immediately even if they are number 2 or 3. In Europe it's different. Land after is used in the UK where the runway is not clear but should be when they touch down and the controller is very busy.

Doesn’t the new SOP say to first start ENG 1 and then 2?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

No. We act in accordance to SOPs and we would start engine 1 first if it would be in accordance to our SOPs. The airlines which do single engine taxi out have to start engine 1 first. Our SOPs may change in the future. But right now it is: First engine 2, then engine 1.

[@TheGodpharma]

It's only just occurred to me that the side stick on an Airbus is on opposite sides for the two pilots. Presumably they must be trained to work it with either hand? Maybe that's not as tricky as I would naively assume.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The captain has his or her sidestick in the left hand and uses the right hand for the thrust levers. It is the opposite for the first officer. In an airplane with a classic steering yoke, it is very similar: One hand at the yoke and the other at the thrust levers. When the fist officer gets the promotion to the captain, he or she has to learn to fly with the other hand. It is not very difficult.

Herr Buntenbach, i have a question. I watch all of your video’s and during landingprocedure i hear the autmatic computervoice right before touchdown(20-30ft above runway). But what is it saying and what does it mean? Greetings from Paramaribo, Suriname (South-America)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The computer voice is calling out our radio altitude. We do have a radio altimeter which measures our altitude above the ground. The first call you usually hear at 2500 feet. And before touchdown, you hear 50, 40, 30, 20 then it says RETARD which is the reminder to move the thrust levers to idle for touchdown. Many greetings to Suriname!

How can she remember the taxiway when reading back to atc? I always need to jot down

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

There are always lots of things happening. Before the approach, we brief the approach and the possible taxi routings to our parking position. This helps a lot and we are not that much surprised about what we hear from ATC. Also, the taxiways are marked like streets. So we can just read the marking and tell ATC where we are. When we get the taxi clearance, we usually type it into the scratchpad of our MCDUs. This helps to remember it.

[@gabrielwong1991]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the reply! Now I understand more on how it works. May I ask one more question about memorising ATC giving multiple instructions at a time especially those with frequency change? For example: XXX123, descend to FL240 by IMCOM at 2,000 fpm or greater, contact radar on 123.450. There are multiple instruction and I often forget the frequency in replying. - There are so many number and often mix up a few unless having a pen and paper ready next to it

[@brajanvalo]

why do you always hand fly the departure till so high up?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I am a pilot and love to fly the airplane. Also, it is important that I stay current and proficient in hand flying the Airbus. All pilots must be able to fly the plane manually any time, even raw data and with autothrust off. To maintain this ability, we have to do this on a regular basis. Only 2 times a year in the simulator is not enough.

[@brajanvalo]

Thank you for the answer.

[@ecuaviation]

Curious, why not fly conf full and gear down and fly the speed 160 until 4dme and then manage speed thereafter

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question. When the gear is extended, large gear doors are opening and closing during the process. Theses doors provide a huge amount of drag. When delaying the extension of the gear to 4 DME or so, we use this additional drag to slow the plane down. Also, flying the final approach in the A319 with gear down and flaps full until 4 DME would make way more noise, use more fuel and we would be very close to the maximum speed in this configuration. I did both variations of the approach several times. With an A321 it is very easy because of the high approach speeds. You can just configure the plane a little later than usual and everything is fine. With an A319 it is more difficult because of the low approach speed. The A319 is also a good glider and does not want to get slower.

[@tobiaswieland8847]

I thought that Germanwings was going out of business a few years ago. Why are they still using the Callsign Germanwings ?

[@TopoftheStackAirTrafficSafety]

To make a long story short: because Germanwings GmbH still exists as part of Eurowings. So the air operator certificate (AOC) and callsign remained active under Eurowings for operational and regulatory reasons. That basically means that the company is still there, even though the “Germanwings” brand isn’t used anymore.

[@chuckcroft8842]

If you had a chance to fly any plane past or present what would it be ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question! I am happy flying the Airbus A319 to A321 as a pilot. But it would have been wonderful to fly in the Concorde as a passenger or an observer in the cockpit. Also, I would love to do a jumpseat flight in the A380 cockpit.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen! Super zu hören, dass Du alle Videos anschaust! Beim der Airbus A320-Familie kann man sowohl von links als auch von rechts rollen. Die Fluggesellschaften führen ergebnisoffene Risiko-Analysen durch und entscheiden dann, wie die Verfahren genau aussehen. Hier ist die Vorgabe, dass immer der Kapitän oder die Kapitänin rollt, auch wenn sie oder er nicht der oder die fliegende Pilotin sind. Manche Fluggesellschaften machen es genauso, andere lassen auch die Kolleginnen und Kollegen im rechten Sitz rollen. Bitte helfe mir und berichte allen vom dem Video! Vielen Dank vorab für die Unterstützung und noch einen schönen Tag!

Wait did director give the wrong tower frequency?

[@tortozza]

No he gave the correct frequency, but the first officer read back the incorrect frequency and tuned it.

I have always dreamt of being a pilot when I’m older the only barrier is the cost of training! Do you have any suggestions or different options?

Depending on where you are living, there may be grants available to start pilot training. Also, some airlines may sponsor or pre-finance the training if you qualify for their own or a related flight school.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Wir können uns eine sehr umfangreiche Uniform-Ausstattung aussuchen. Da gibt es Pullover, lange Hemden, kurze Hemden … Ich bevorzuge kurzärmelige Hemden, da wir oft auch Ziele mit wärmeren Temperaturen anfliegen. Im Cockpit haben wir - genau wie im Auto - die Möglichkeit, die Temperatur passend zu unserer Kleidung einzustellen. Wenn wir morgens zum Flugzeug kommen, ist er meist kalt und wir nutzen die Luft, die uns der Flughafen zur Verfügung stellt oder starten die APU und die Klimaanlage, wenn unsere Gäste an Bord kommen. Bei der Vorbereitung können wir ja problemlos unsere Mäntel, Jacken oder Pullover anlassen.

Do yo know the experience level of your first officer before the flight? I mean lets asume you have a first officer fresh from flight school with just 200 hours on the type you should have another awareness than with a senior first officer at 5000 hours

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks again for your financial support of the channel as a member! This helps a lot! I can see on our daily crew list if the first officer just got released from training. It does not say something about the total flight hours. But it shows if he or she is new to our Airbus fleet. This is important because there are restrictions and limitations imposed for new pilots. For example, crosswind limit values are lowered if they are pilot flying.

[@GarethReecewood]

You are lucky that your airline still allows you to hand fly the SID at your discretion. A lot of airlines now want the automatics on as soon as possible after departure. I wonder if this will have negative impacts in the future if it risks pilots becoming overreliant on automatics and losing proficiency in hand flying. There have been a lot of near-incidents where the autopilot does something unexpected and pilots are reluctant to immediately disengage and "FLY THE PLANE"

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I completely agree! There was even an FAA memo a while ago which showed that pilots use the autopilots too much and have difficulties flying manually. The FAA recommends to fly manually on a regular basis to stay current and proficient.
