[@jaspispaulito1123]

This was lovely to watch, starting with IF training soon and I must say this video was very enlightening! Please do a CAT III app next Captain.

[@ksteak27]

As a fearful flyer, I love this channel because it reminds me that the men and women up front REALLY DO know what they're doing. I never actually doubted that... but this just gives me comfort. I don't like any form of transport (trains, subways, cars) when I'm not in control. Add a fear of heights to that mix and that makes flying a truly fearful event for me. Thanks, Captain Joe! These videos are therapeutic for fearful fliers like me. I still do avoid flying whenever I can, but each flight has gotten easier and easier.

[@LtKernelPanic]

Okay I'm curious how hard was it to jump back behind the controls of an A320 and fly it after flying the B747 for the last couple years?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Super easy, really enjoyed being back in the A320 seat. My SOP's are a little rusty when it comes to the A320, but I can still fly her :)

[@LtKernelPanic]

Cool. I kinda wondered if it's be like riding a bike (albeit a little more complicated) that once you know how you can jump back in pretty easily.

Great video! Just a couple of notes: a) At Circling MDA, it is 45º for 30 seconds, b) The circling is flown in TRK FPA so, no need for wind component math and c) thanks for using a TAP aircraft!! Great job!

[@mishomishev3283]

Something I always say about aviation is that it is amazingly organized and full of information. That makes it so special.

[@Cookie-zi5gm]

I’m in tears Capt. Joe. Literally, seeing you being back in the A320 is like going back to your ancestral home after moving out.

[@AviationShots._]

Just tried to land an Airbus A320-216 in KPHL on Runway 27L. First configured the A320 for Gear down and Flaps 3, then fully established on ILS 09R; then at the around 1200 ft, executed at 45⁰ turn then I followed the procedure, as explained by you. And I was finally able to land at RWY 27L. Thank you Captain!!! ✈✈✈

Liking this video without even watching yet. Just reading the title makes me excited.

[@TriNguyen-nl7qo]

Someone asked you on instagram how comfortable you'd be flying an A320 again not that long ago, and now we're seeing this

[@frankgallagher5786]

keep it simple. downwind timing =HAA X 3. V/S on final = 1/2 G/S. Try to plan the circling with as much headwind as possible on base leg (lower G/S to avoid going through final).

[@Septimius]

I really enjoy your videos, and I've been watching a long time. The small details that show your competency is how in the WCA you show that the units of kts cancel out. Treating your units as an inseparable part of any calculation is a great way to ensure you've done the math right.

[@akaHarvesteR]

A few years ago my wife and I were on a flight that did a circling approach into acapulco intl. A lot of the passengers were quite a bit put off by the low level 180* turn right before landing. I had never heard of this sort of approach either, tbh, and from the passenger windows looking down, the ground did seem very close indeed to be doing a turn like that. Thanks for the great video explaining the procedure!

[@CrispyTheDuck]

I have flown this Simulator a few weeks ago! I can just recommend it to everyone of you! It was amazing!

[@sircrapalot9954]

I literally just started my Instrument Rating and we’re about to cover circling approaches. Couldn’t have timed this video better!

[@sztojanbarna]

Awesome guys! One thing I missed at the "Landing no blue" callout. The SOP I learnt was like this > PM: "Landing no blue, autothrust" PF: "Speed" or "Off" depending on what is set.

[@ZK-APA]

There was a recent change in the checklist. Previously there was autothrust, autobrake etc. Now its just ECAM memo. I'm guessing you did your sim using the older checklist.

[@edellmuthoni4581]

Awesome video! I'm not a pilot yet and would really appreciate if you explained how the wind angle at 5:03 amounted to 44°

[@JohnyKnee]

In the wca calculations you have to use acute angles between course and wind direction. It follows that considered angle is not angle between 326 and 190 (=136), but angle between 326 and 010. Whitch is 44°.

[@triboarder06]

I'm stumped on that one 2 and I am a private pilot. Math doesn't check out.

[@Iceberg86300]

As already stated, when figuring out wind correction angles using that method you use the acute wind angle, which is the less than 90° angle between the wind line & the planes course line. Course line is the heading out the front of the plane, and heading minus 180 out of the back of the plane. So 326/146. Then wind of 190 - 146 = 44. Or 326 - 190 = 136, which isn't an acute angle, so you use 180 - 136 = 44, to get the acute angle. Edit: this is always something I've had to use pencil & paper for but I'm guessing if you fly enough it becomes second nature.

When you have an instrument approach only in one runway direction, but wind/performance limitations is favoring the other direction.

A Good Pilot Is Always Learning 🧑‍✈️

[@roaridse]

I'm not a pilot for anything else than rc-planes - but I find aviation videos interesting. While watching this video, where you have to change headings etc - how do you handle the headings? Are all true headings, or do you have to handle magnetic headings, compass deviation etc ? In the maritime world we have to calculate all this when taking certifications - most of it is quickly forgotten as navgation ais like electronic maps etc use true headings from gps , but it is still a thing we have to learn.

[@coriscotupi]

Headings are mostly magnetic. One exception can think of is in high (polar) latitudes, where compasses go nuts, then "grid" reference is used.

[@ZK-APA]

All headings are magnetic. In smaller planes where you use physical maps, the pilot does the variation corrections. But in airliners like this, they mostly use GPS along with the ground nav aids (which are also magnetic)

[@mateuszbeben]

Enter the MDA in the Baro field. It will work the same

[@petermcelwain2598]

Nice video, might be worth adding the difference between TERPS and ICAO obstacle protected area. For CAT C aircraft in ICAO you are protected to approx 4.2nm from each rwy end with circling height of approx 1000 AGL. In FAA Terps its much less, around 2.7 off the top of my mind.

[@Xalion]

TAP ❤️ In May I made my first flights in my life. Warsaw -> Lisboa -> Funchal Madeira and back. I was extremely excited because I flew a lot of A320 Neo in MSFS and "knew" the plane on which I flew 😀

hatte ich auf Korsika, Calvi. Normaler Anflug von Norden, aber dann gings rechts am Flugplatz vorbei, 180° Linkskurve und aus der Kurve heraus direkt auf die Schwelle. Ich sass innen, perfekte Sicht. Einfach nur genial. Der Rest in der Kabine hat glaub ich gebetet ;-)

[@nikin18]

Greate Vid Cap perhaps you can do another with B737?

[@franckk34]

Smooth for someone that dont fly the a/c anymore ;). Few remarks why do you ask for the landing cl on the ILS with the a/c still in F3 ? You have 1 blue on your ECAM memo. This segment is needed to be fly F3, Gear down + Spoilers armed, but the checklist needs to be done on short final later on. I think you realised because you asked for it a second time. You can also presel the 45° HDG during descent to be ahead and pull when you level off. Imo it is not an early stab appr as the early stab requires to be at the FDP fully configured.

[@kaihatkeinenaccount]

I have two questions: 1. What is the difference between the two autopilots? 2. Why did you lower the landing gear so early? It seems you could wait until the final turn to preserve fuel.

[@chrisschack9716]

There's really no difference between the autopilots, but if there's a disagree, there's a problem. As for gear, they wanted to be stable and nearly to landing configuration before starting the circling maneuver. It's not like a light aircraft where you start putting out flaps abeam the approach end of the runway ... and they're not kidding about the different traffic pattern altitude, try doing a pattern at 700 and your usual cues may get messed up!

[@kaihatkeinenaccount]

@@chrisschack9716 Thank you

[@ryancho5888]

Thank your for your great explanation and tips. I always enjoy your videos as new pilot who just started my career :) If you don’t mind, I want to ask one question about timing after abeam threshold. You said you have to fly 30 sec initially, but when you actually apply the formula, you started calculation with 33 sec. Cause 1300 - 184 = 1116 ft, 1116/100 x 3 sec = 33 sec. And you subtracted 10 because of tail wind, and it decrease down to 23 sec. So I wonder where the number 30 sec comes from.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

The standard circling minima is 1000 feet, that’s why it’s 30 seconds, but great question!

[@olharAgudo]

Seemed to be a lil bit tense procedure, even in a sim. Would luv to see a comparation of heart rate comparison between a sim procedure and a real world procedure.

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

It's not that tense! But that would be a great idea for a video with the heart rate monitor!

[@olharAgudo]

@@flywithcaptainjoe i Just cant put my chips on any bet. At sim, even though all the imersive resources, deeply inside we know we are safe. BUT... at sim we would be executing procedures that arent part of a daily basis procedures....plus the pressure of an eventual checker. In tu other hand, in real life, we would have the safe sensation of doing something we are pretty used to... BUT... there is the pressure of a real life no-margin-for-errors state.

[@renandemattosbatista6991]

Captain Joe, just one question: can you confirm it is 45s and not 30s to turn wings level to proceed to the downwing leg? I am an A320 pilot and in my FCOMs company, it states 30s. For the rest, everything seems the same! By the way, I am a great fan of yours and great video!!

[@ZK-APA]

Most probably the airline SOP Joe is referring to says 45 seconds instead of 30. Ps I also checked my company FCOM SOP, it is also 30 seconds

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Our FCTM (Flight Crew Trainings Manual) states 45 seconds. It can vary a little from airline to airline

[@zibarth]

I agree, it’s 30 sec and you want to activate secondary with the landing runway on downwind. He still had the ILS 01 in the box during landing.

[@briandecima9390]

Thanks Joe for your video and the knowledge you pass on the new generation of pilots! Could you please explain why you use 23 seg on the downwind side? I know it has something to do with the elevation dif but I don’t get it! Cheers from Argentina!

Joe i have a question for you. My question is that could aeroplane can stand in the air without moving if it possible could you exaplain by a vedio...

[@ZK-APA]

Yes it can. Though practically not possible with airliners, but with small planes with low stall speed, if the wind is going faster than the aircraft's own speed, the aircraft can hover or even fly backwards.
