[@andrewphoenix175]

just curious. the simulator you guys flew is L3 type or CAE type?

[@abbasobaidi2555]

good job

[@ryabov912]

“Continue ECAM”😉

[@ajpdaniels]

Surely an early action is for both pilots to immediately put on their own oxygen masks?

[@ajpdaniels]

@@matthewchristopher8843 silly me missing that - watching on portrait on a small screen

[@user-qu5wl6du9q]

oxygen masks not for training

[@autismisfine4984]

Tends to be the number 1 item on the checklist or a memory item

[@steve1978ger]

he called out "masks on" though

[@salem101z]

even if its for training better to get use to the mask not just annotation

[@Dogfight2000]

Where is the oxygen masks?

[@lestermateo3026]

They forgot th most important memory .....Crew Oxygen Mask Use......

[@Rataldo20]

its clearly written on the screen. that simulator doesnt have then or they are not usying them for this specific video.

[@guibresende]

Doesn’t the Pilot Flying have to keep his right hand on the spoiler lever until reaching level off altitude where he’ll close the spoilers???

[@janisbanis6882]

Nope.

[@pranzgamingxd6781]

There's a 'spd brk still out ' message displayed on the ecam after aircraft levels off.

[@FrankRoga63]

Yes, is better for situational awareness.

[@DimaBlazhko]

Yes he does, the hand should nit move from that lever until spoilers are retracted, which is also one of the things wrong in this example

[@tachacastilho]

Yes you’re right and for an explosive emergency descent it should NOT be used!

[@NeonVisual]

Then after that, they went home and played minecraft while their moms cooked dinner.

[@juanj.moreno.2845]

i wanna use this vid 4 training purposes =)

[@siedel2694]

Don‘t do this. Except for a negative example.

[@damirsimunovic7355]

Don’t follow this. Read Fcom.

[@Saifbak16]

You did ECAM actions by memory. There are only 4 memory items as per FCOM. The memory items are the one which are boxed.

[@acun6004]

Not quite like that actually also. The procedures in the video are also old. Currently FCTM states that EMER DES flows (including some items of QRH MEM EMER DES) to be done by PF and PM which include only crew oxy masks for both PF and PM. Then for PF, EMER DES initiate, FMA Announce, if A/THR not active THR LVRs idle and SPD BRK full. As for PM, Signs On and FMA Check. Besides, let's also correct something. Boxed items are misunderstood as to be memorized only other than the rest of the QRH MEM items. However, all items and information in MEM are memory items actually! Boxed items are just for quick pilot refer. Therefore, first application is to apply the flows by memory then ECAM and then QRH for EMER DES. Companies' OMPART A and B can also suggest some procedures or announcements to do.

Так и в реальном полёте не наденут маски. Хотя бы сделали имитацию надевания масок.

[@thinkdifferent6403]

why did nobody (crew nor atc) mentionned the heading changement? is it normal?

[@chris22capt]

It is, they should deviate from the route before initiating emergency descend

[@thinkdifferent6403]

[@luizalberto4829]

Don oxygen mask!,, advise cabin crew, emergency descent! Reaching Fl100, advise then safety walk around to assist pax

[@yousrishahaltough4538]

Unnecessary reading of irrelevant ECAM proceedings since it's a structure failure where many of the procedures on ECAM are not applicable.

[@graysono]

Very interesting -- out of interest though why didn't you two put your masks on??? Cabin/cockpit alt got very high!

[@dmdx86]

Ajit Raspayle The simulator has O2 masks for the pilots. It’s a valid question. In this case they may have only been interested in demonstrating the actual descent and donning the masks would make them harder to understand in the video for sure.

[@diehardavgeek]

They written "Oxygen masks must be worn during the procedure" on the bottom left corner of the screen. Maybe they didn't put it because it may be impossible to record their voice

[@yoyomaho]

He says too as he goes over the checklist “crew 02 masks on”

[@marktayler7080]

Lots of problems with this exercise, regardless of whether this is a ECAM only demonstration or not, this should start with crew oxygen and coms. At the very least mention it, as it is the most important first response, regardless of what aircraft type or operation.

[@kishio.m2956]

O2 please...🤢

[@legitscoper3259]

FL 100 Is this 10.0k or 100 ft?

[@MrLudwigMondra]

LegitScoper 10,000 ft

[@0x80O0oOverfl0w]

100 Feet would have been FL 001. I agree though that he should have actually said flight level one zero zero, instead of flight level one hundred.

[@AllanRoberto2711]

Always multiply the FL by 100. FL 340 would be 34000ft ish. There a whole lot of explanation why they use FL and not the altitude in feet

[@HobbyPilot2003]

Normaly the should select the maximum speed. But they did not do that. You will reach higher V/S with more speed

[@FrankRoga63]

Beside that, there was an structural damage in this scenario, therefore is better to keep the actual indicated airspeed to avoid additional stress to the airframe.

[@dimitrischristou4003]

First and most important action is to protect yourself. Where are your oxygen masks?

[@Jet-mz7hg]

they put a caption about wearing the mask

[@alexanderbelov1721]

Little bit of disappointment. 1. There were no indications of a structural damage, nevertheless you decided you have one. OK, it was a scenario, but In this case - why you gentlemen decided to deploy SPD BRK, increasing an airframe stress? 2. No commutation with a cabin. 3. Once you fly away from airway, you need MORA, or MVA, not minimum airway altitude as you said ( whatever it means, probably MEA). 4. You had ECAM double cabin pressure system failure, nevertheless, being convinced with a structural issue, you misinformed an ATCO you have a damage .5.....proverbial oxy masks, lot or people already said, I omit. 6. Just turning away from airway is not enough, you should consider a terrain and traffic around. 7. Very much formal FMA reading, not even "checked" of PM. 8. Not exact format of MAYDAY message. You are making me sad, guys, your BAA is a very famous organisation with very aggressive marketing policy. BAA like a BA, Abibas like Adidas, I nearly sent my son there. The reality does not meet expectation. I am grateful to Heaven my son went across the ocean for FAA training. Be serious, gentlemen, this is your commercial!

[@DimaBlazhko]

@@destinybeezer3945 it doesn’t matter whether this a simulation or not. This is a simulation of a real life scenario that has been posted and should be performed accordingly without errors. The reason why everyone watches these videos is to learn the procedures in action, and they were wrong in many cases.

[@muzlp]

Using speedbrake is part of Airbus memory item checklist for emergency descent, even with structural damage Airbus still ask for speedbrake to fully extended, the only caution Airbus says is to maneuver with care

haha first of all ,dudes need oxy mask

[@aligardezi7313]

2 inconsistencies that I noted 1. Memory item steps do not comprise of 7700 and engine mode selector ignition. 2. Why didn't you take the landing gears? It is strongly recommended after passing 26000 ft.

[@majordhom5463]

FCOM - PRO - ABN - MISC - MEM EMER DESCENT - CONSIDER L/G extension They mention having structural damage so you would avoid changing configuration at high speed. - ATC XPDR 7700 CONSIDER Squawk 7700 unless specified otherwise by ATC

[@matthendricks9666]

Slamming the Speedbrakes out that fast at high levels will get you into some issues, too.

[@DimaBlazhko]

With autopilot engaged they deploy only half way, protecting the stress on the airframe

[@simonklaassen2145]

Why not press exped descent?

[@janisbanis6882]

Because you have to reduce your V/S. In case you don't, you may suffer an even worse disintegration of the cabin and probably blow everyone's ears out.

[@simonklaassen2145]

janis banis You recommend not use it the whole descent?

[@janisbanis6882]

@@simonklaassen2145 Indeed. The oxygen masks are able to supply oxygen for long enough time and it's just not worth the risk.

[@satyankarsharma2837]

Because exped button would straightaway increase the speed to Vmo/Mmo which is bad for structural failure.

[@khannguyen9332]

arabuu01 can’t since they have a structural damage they need to maintain current speed

[@arabuu01]

Khan Nguyen it says “manouvre with care” (because of aircraft structure) so if you don’t get any vibration you can icrease a little bit . You don’t go 300 + but neither 260 .. ( just my opinion )

[@lonzoarellano3663]

​@@arabuu01 i agree with you. in the airbus simulators if you suspect any damage ie. rapid EXPLOSIVE decompression then you reduce your speed. other than that, max appropriate speed. we used to practice these at 340kts descent lol didn't "damage" the plane in the simulator

[@peteconrad2077]

@@arabuu01 if you have a structural issue any increase in speed would be irresponsible.

Pete Conrad the only bad thing about this is that passengers might have some earakes .

[@vladimirassalukas6726]

To avoid further damage you will not use speedbrakes 😂😂😂

[@Ryan4real]

In this case looks only the CPCs were malfunctioned, and the airframe are intact, so aerodynamic shape was all good and actually we can increase TAS and use the speedbrake to descend faster if it requires. That's my opinion.lol

[@matteo8421]

Nothing is good on this video. No paper checklist no dodar brief, no ecam action with normal procedure. Long way tu run.

they told before was "procedure by memory" and the suggestions on the computer.
