What is the Airbus:Part 3 Trimming! Direct Law with a Real Airbus Pilot ToLiss A321

[@bedranbatkitar4063]

Amazing I just watched the 3 parts of Normal, Alternate and Direct Law and it’s well done thank you for your time very educating and useful content for those who loves to know the Airbus 320 better every day. Keep doing thanks again.

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for taking the time to watch them all, I'm glad they were enjoyable!

[@Chikyel]

Each video learning new staff, thank you.

[@320SimPilot]

You are welcome Jordi, thanks as always for watching!

The comment about manually adjusting trim applies to flight simulators in general. In a real airplane, say, a Cessna 172, you apply forward/back pressure on the yoke and trim to relieve the pressure. But, on a flight simulator, adjusting the trim doesn’t have any effect on yoke pressure. One has to slowly return the yoke to its center position while simultaneously applying trim to get the aircraft trimmed properly.

[@bltzcstrnx]

While this is true for Cessna or Boeing, like he said the Airbus sidestick does not have force feedback. So it is just like flying in a desktop flight simulator without any feedback, manually adjusting trim.

I can tell you land planes for a living! Superb.

[@flaps4038]

Have you made an ILS tutorial? I love these tutorials. Am transitioning from an 737

[@tomstravels520]

ILS tunes automatically if you’ve selected the correct approach

[@flaps4038]

Wow that is crazzyyy!! That’s cool

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Flaps 40, not yet but it is planned! Thanks for watching

[@flaps4038]

I flew an ILS into Sacramento today and it was a great first flight on the ToLiss A319 . It’s a wonderful plane!

[@naturekangal1140]

excellent as usual

[@FlyGuy1]

Nice vid bro!

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tranefine]

Very well explained, but unfortunately, there is something I have not yet fully understood: You said that Direct Law is applied when the landing gear is lowered. However, I suppose that is only the case if the aircraft was previously in Alternate Law. I always thought Direct Law is a configuration in case of total system failure, e.g. if both engines fail/burn. How you explained it now, Direct Law is not a result of an emergency but rather of manipulating the aircraft configuration whilst flying in Alternate Law.

[@peteconrad2077]

Yes, direct law is what happens when you put the gear down in alternate law.

[@HolgerTeutsch]

Another great one!

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you Holger, glad you enjoyed it!

[@evau.alfredhummer7305]

very educating video, thanks for your effort to bring these techniques to us. Are there any statstics how often a alternate/direct law situation occurs i.e. in 10.000 flight hours ? On the Airbus sidestick there is no possibility to trim the aircraft like on Boeing aircrafts, so you have to do it on the wheels, correct ? Is now a mandatory simulator training established for manaul flight in alternate law in greater altidudes because airplane handling is very sensitiv and failure margin is almost zero ?

[@320SimPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Eva. I do not have any statistics about that but I will have a look, it would be very interesting to me too. On the Airbus sidestick there is no way to trim, you must use the wheel next to the thrust levers, it is easier than it sounds to control like that! Pilots do indeed train in alternate law as well as the other flight control laws. Thanks for watching!

[@leoarjuncrasto]

Sim tomorrow IR 1 + 2 Fault, as a Trainee First officer I am going to try to be Flap 3 at 45%N1 and on Glide Slope and just before Gear push Thrust to 50% N1. Thanks

[@naturekangal1140]

Could we do one day landing with direct law and hydraulique failures ?

[@SaurabhKumar-hr7fn]

Why does it go to direct law after gear down? What is the logic of landing in direct law and why can’t we land in alternate law?

[@tomstravels520]

Because in normal law when landing the aircraft has a flare mode where it makes it feel like being in direct law temporarily. As this capability is lost in alternate law the best solution is direct. If you tried to land in alternate law it would be a different feeling

[@gurukn]

Oh and I have a question: If this happens while flying online, what am I supposed to tell ATC? 'cause today while flying on VATSIM this happened, and I had no idea how to explain the nature of the failure... oh yeah... totally BUTTER even a landing with a de-graded plane!!

[@amritlohia8240]

You can just say it's a flight control problem.

[@gurukn]

@@amritlohia8240 thanks

[@tomstravels520]

Are there any other faults that would cause aircraft to go into DCT LAW in flight without gear being down? I’m guessing THS failure

[@320SimPilot]

Great question, I'll hopefully include it in a video one day soon!

[@itsdelex4902]

Hi mate could you make a decent tutorial on the a321

[@tomstravels520]

Have you watched previous videos?

[@Chikyel]

There are many in his chanel

[@320SimPilot]

Hi the closest I have for now is this one for the descent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaelgop8edKKgsU If there is anything else you are interested in let me know and I'll see what I can do! Thanks for watching

[@itsdelex4902]

Thankyou so much

[@sairamseetharaman203]

Sir which flight simulator are you using.can I have your contact email or mobile.had few questions.

[@320SimPilot]

This is made using X Plane 11, thanks for watching!

[@sairamseetharaman203]

Can I get ur email id sir or contact..

[@sairamseetharaman203]

I wanted to know how do you add airbus aircraft...is it part of the package or u got to purchase seperate.

[@sairamseetharaman203]

I play the microsoft FSX.but I am not able to practice the emergencies..
