Upset Recovery of an Airliner: Explained with a Real Airbus Pilot

[@txhunter144]

Awesome. Great video. In my GA training I was taught “in the brown, power down… in the blue, power through”. Helped me a lot during training and so forth.

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for watching and your kind words! I like that phrase a lot!

[@nielskersic328]

Wow. This is some extremely interesting stuff

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Niels!

[@ElitistMagi]

Thanks!

[@enriquedorta8165]

¡Gracias!

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

[@vedymin1]

Also, if you are in imc and your instruments show an upset position, before you do anything wild with the controls, make sure its not just your instruments, check with the fo side and the standby instruments.

[@Ronald9540]

I must admit I was slightly disappointed to see you stop the roll @8:45, but amazing video again, thanks!

[@320SimPilot]

Yes it occurred to me later that we could have gone a bit further! I suppose the key difference would be a quick transition from nose high to low, something perhaps for a future video!

[@markgr1nyer]

Great video. A lot of it reminds of AF447. Interesting as well to see the PIOSEE method of dealing with an emergency clearly employed as well

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Mark!

[@kobiabass6028]

Brilliant video once again. I have a couple of recommendations for further videos. Remember how you brought your friend in to show us how to fly the 787 Heavy Division mod? Really loved that video and it would be fantastic if you could make the same type of video for the Salty Simulations 747. If possible I would also like a video on what the trim wheel is, how does it work and in what situations would I need to use it. Thanks again!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Kobi! Glad you enjoyed it. Sadly I do not have any connections on the 747 right now as it has become rather rare but I will see what I can do. Trim wheel I will think about for the future, thank you!

[@sparkymarky008]

Another fantastic video as always.....I like the way you are always so calm. One of the best channels on here by far. Many thanks for all your interesting content. I enjoy every one.

[@320SimPilot]

Very kind of you to say, thank you!

[@elsahelgason6609]

You don’t drink before, how can I know you 25 years later; no matter who’s you are I still will get you back as my legally husband to remarry again.

[@elsahelgason6609]

I will cancelling the ticket waiting for you to come after we can set the date to go again. The airlines that I owned can canceled the ticket. I thought that you giving up of us Joanne and I. I’m sure Johnny will happy that you bring her daughter’s home for him. All these times that I knew that only you will takes me home; but the online peoples playing games only. I never wanted to changes my name in my identity at all. I never thought of myself being with anyone’s at all. You and I the pictures is the most I wanted you to knows you still in my life’s no matter the futures you come back or not that I won’t wanted to be with anyone’s else’s. Joanne can get anymore damages again. Are you on your ways; when I took BoBo’s out after I do knows if anyone’s come must be you. I did told the US government to let you come back to us. That’s why, I told the Hotel lobby that if you comes then they might need to check your identity and give the room key’s to my room. I did pay for toight that I thought if you are not coming ten I will leaving tomorrow. I knows you will come home with me to open the home door in Hong Kong home. My passport still had your last name that I always takes with me. You will go into the internet’s then you will knowing I’m still is your wife’s but no one. It’s not separate that I had to made my beloved brother’s the stocks work for the earth people; I had to left not about you did to me. I never thought the passed mistakes; only hope you can be happy again. Passed is bygone be bygon, why would I thought of that to case our greatest life’s continue to the destruction. Open the new chasers of our the new life’s. last times, they asking to married to get the earth back; I don’t know where’s you are; I just walked away from it just only my husband only but no one; therefore p, they have to find you for me this time.

Great video! The big red "sky pointer'" on the PFD can also be a big help in SA. keep up the good work, thanks

[@KaptenPanna]

7:01 casually levelling out perfectly at FL250 hahah

[@df98156]

I *loved* this video. THIS is sthe sort of thing I love to watch from you and other "real pylots" because really, what else are simulators good for if you don't use them as opportunities to train for super serious situations like this?

[@320SimPilot]

Yes it was fun to use this simulator for some more extreme flying! Thanks for your kind words.

[@tgrx1901]

Ah I remember similar exercises from my gliding and PPL days. It was called "Recovery From Unusual Attitudes" both visual and under the hood. Landed feeling a bit green and worse for wear after some of these sessions! 🤢

[@jesuszuniga3600]

Fantastic video and explaining/ Capt 25 years of experience on A320

[@Henoik]

In daytime it must be frightening as hell seeing these upset situations as a passenger. During nighttime, or otherwise without visual reference points, I guess you may suffer from spatial disorientation, but oh my god

[@CaptainMaverick9]

Great video to learn from! Keep up the good work.😇

[@birdman4274]

Great video captain. 👍👍

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you!

[@birdman4274]

@@320SimPilot Just had a thought for future video. Wondered if you could simulate RAT deployment?

[@sini4654]

You are amazing. Great video. 👌

[@parospotter]

Excellent video!!!!!!!!!~

[@aedale1]

Really interesting, thank you again 🙏

[@320SimPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ganntradingsystemstimecycl2783]

Saddest crash was air france 447. Pilots were not trained how to recover from high altitude stall. Even though it was FO Bonin who panicked and put the Airbus into a stall by pulling back on the side stick. That was due to peto tubes icing up and disengaging the AP.

[@timnunn7679]

Well Done, brilliant video (A340-600 pilot)

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Tim! Appreciate it a lot! P.S you're flying one of my dream a/c

[@noel0004]

Wow, a pilot on the most beautiful bird! (I prefer -300 tho)

[@4prawns]

Great video, really interesting, it sounds like a great plane. As a passenger I was transfixed by the wing/engine wobbling about in turbulence, but as you explain, it’s all part of the plan ! Re your channel name - you are still a ‘320 simpilot’ 😂 what ever else you are also licensed to do !

[@tamerelhadidi3173]

Super thanks you

[@spuriouspodge7416]

Very interesting topic. Great information and context. From a wannabe armchair not-a-pilot. Ps you sound under the weather, hope all's well

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! All better now thankfully, well spotted!

[@DBO3671]

Great video as always. How do you monitor and adjust to competing side stick inputs for recovery events like that?

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you! Great point, primarily coordination, hence telling the other pilot what you are thinking/going to do. This allows them to help you and prevent dual inputs as they know you are reacting correctly.

[@5yosalina]

Nice video

[@PT-he6sr]

Just wondering if you pitch up + increase throttle, that can increase pitch up, can the inverse also be true if you are pitch down + decrease throttle can this also increase pitch down ?

[@rmadridista369]

not really. cuz the forces of the engines are just "extra" forces to "help" the pitch up moment. when pitching down, without any outside forces, the pitch down just depends on the upset itself

[@growlitheharpo]

What I learned from this video is: you better hope the pilot isn't having the scrambled eggs for breakfast, it seems that that's when things get extreme...

[@ElitistMagi]

Great video captain, greatly appreciate these types of videos. Please treat yourself to a beer on me :D Thanks again!

[@320SimPilot]

That is so kind of you, thanks for the super thanks, really appreciate it! Great to know people enjoy these in depth ones! See you next stream

[@ElitistMagi]

@@320SimPilot absolutely! Just a small thank you capt! Its really kind of you to share your professional insights with the community!

[@ivanscottw]

I imagine your airline HR asking for a emergency meeting. .telling you.. Sir.. we are aware you are a competent pilot and always had q pristine record. However it has come to our attention you have started using the company resource for personal reason.. Sir.. those A320 planes are NOT your joy ride !

[@tawiwutcharuwat8999]

For the algorithm

[@elsahelgason6609]

I’m leaving Canada back to Hong Kong not care for Canada again.

[@elsahelgason6609]

He just only know the Hong Kong Chinese only. If I sing the Chinese song’s then you will knows.

[@elsahelgason6609]

Yes, you like to fly while we are togetherness; therefore, Joanne don’t know how can get hold with us. We owned all the airlines and airplanes that you can fly in 5he futures.

[@elsahelgason6609]

I did sad that I don’t wanted you see me crying again. I asked you no need to come to airport’s to see me disappeared from you. I just wishes you will happy without me. If you are not happy then I can feels you and I trying to searching you. I did told that person needs to takes good care of you. I knew the day’s will comes that she can’t be name you happy; all the problems is over now. Starting the new life’s from now.

[@larrydockery7201]

give me back my l-1011 she was the best air craft ever built good old days of flying
