[@musseeee]

I just can’t believe how big of a difference there is between me as a passenger in the back of the plane and the pilots. Like how calm and relaxed they are in their regular cockpit “office” while me being so scared for my life even before take off, not to mention during the flight. Makes me think how irrational my fear is. Great video 🛫

[@grebz]

Fear is partly of the unknown, the most informed (pilots) at the front wouldn't risk their lives unnecessarily either. Hope it helps your flying

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for sharing your very personal feedback! Please think always that the crew also wants to arrive safely at the destination. All important airplane systems have one or two backup systems. And even without the engines running, the plane would fly like a large glider. The most dangerous part of any flight is the travel to and from the airport with a car or public transport. As you said, it is an irrational fear. I wish you that you get more relaxed and that my videos will help you to understand more what is going on during the flight in the cockpit. Also, I whish you lots of nice flights!

Good video as always, this time with an interesting rainy approach. It doesn't seem like the procedures will change in these conditions but I imagine there will be something different, I don't know. Thanks a lot for sharing it. ✈

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your good feedback! An approach in the rain is not that much different from an approach during dry weather. We may need a longer landing distance and we may switch on the wipers or the rain repellent system. Also, we need engine anti ice on when the total air temperature is 10 degrees or lower and visible moisture (rain) is present.

[@gonzalolopezsegovia1001]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the clarification about arrivals in the rain. Very interesting about the repellent, I didn't know that. I imagine that the wippers will also be used depending on the speed. I imagine that they will only be used on the ground. Or on final approach and takeoff in heavy rain.

Nice job captain. In case of shutting down engine 2 please don't forget to switch on the yellow elec pump 😊 Love the Zulu November and Zulu Echo. Good old machines

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your good feedback! This is exactly what we always do. After 3 minutes cooldown time, the First Officer says "cooldown time elapsed." Then the Captain usually says "Engine 2 shutdown" Afterward, the First Officer shuts down the engine and switches the yellow electric hydraulic pump on.

[@lucasdownunder]

Another great video! Thank you so much! I've always been intrigued how the windshield wipers survive the flight. The are after all subject to enormous pressure and speed.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching, your good feedback, and your financial support of the channel as a member! The off position of the wipers is in an area where they are not in the main airstream. We use them only at lower speeds during the approach. I assume that the wiper motor is stronger than a typical car wiper motor. Have a great day

I just really enjoyed watching this video... I always wanted to become a pilot. But it's very expensive for me...

Wieder ein brillantes Video vom Abflug in dem Dorf an der Düssel und der Landung in Prag ich hätte mal eine Frage wenn Sie mit dem Flugzeug anrollen bleibt die Bremse solange aktiv bis der Schub kommt in Düsseldorf auf dem Landekopf 23 geht es etwas bergauf ich stelle fest das es kein leichtes Zurückfallen. Liebe Grüße aus Neuss am Rhein

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Wenn wir in Lima 1 kurz vor der Startbahn 23L in Düsseldorf stehen, würden wir ohne die Nutzung der Bremse in den meisten Fällen rückwärts wegrollen. Meist bremse ich mit den Füßen. Ab und zu, wenn wir länger warten müssen, setze ich die Parkbremse. Alternativ kann man auch etwas mehr Gas geben, um ein zurückrollen zu verhindern. Das kostet jedoch zusätzlichen Sprit und verursacht zusätzliche Emissionen. Viele Grüße nach Neuss!

[@Ellipirelli69]

Thank you again for another great video. It's interesting to see that still being on a published STAR, a three degree deviation is approved if the weather is requiring it, so I assume ATC had the radar in sight as well😊. One observation was the departing EW aircraft in EDDL before you had a Germanwings callsign, so that is still in use? Keep on going, my next EW flight is already booked 😂

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for sharing your good feedback! Whenever possible, we have to stay on the STAR. If weather requires a deviation, we have to inform ATC. They usually approve the turn as long as the traffic situation permits. Some ATC units have very good radar systems. Others are not so good. Especially in the USA, they use a very good system, called NEXRAD. ATC knows the exact position of the bad weather and offers deviations to the pilots right away. Some flights are still operated under the Germanwings callsign. I hope to see you soon on board! Have a great day!

Vielen lieben Dank für die finanzielle Unterstützung des Kanals als Mitglied. Ohne die Unterstüzung der Mitglieder wären Videos wie dieses nicht möglich! Wenn wir nicht wollen, dass der Pushback-Operator unsere gesamte Kommunikation hört, lassen wir das Interphone aus und drücken jedes Mal die Sprechtaste, wenn wir mit ihm reden wollen. Bei diesem Flug war es auf INT gestellt und er konnte alles hören, was wir sagen. Meist lassen wir allerdings das Interphone aus und benutzen die Sprechtaste für die Kommunikation mit dem Pushback-Operator.

[@drwhitewash]

Hey, great videos! Just a small question - i know IRL is different from the sim, sometimes very much so. But what's actually the purpose of hand flying the first turns after departure? In the sim i usually engage the AP shortly after setting thrust to CLB and everything is fine, the AP keeps the required speed and manages the turns quite well.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It is a good idea to fly the airplane by hand for a while. This helps the pilot to develop a good feeling about the required inputs for the flight. The final decision rests with every pilot. Some switch the autopilot on at 500 feet, others at 10000 feet.

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Die Directs sind Abkürzungen der Route.

Zum Beispiel hat das auch mit den Aktivitäten in Lufträumen zu tun, die auch vom Militär genutzt werden. Zunächst müssen wir planen, daran vorbei zu fliegen.

Hello! First of all, thank you for this great video, as always! I have a question for you! It can happen that a pilot crew completes 4 flights in one day. There is my question. Do you then have to brief these 4 Flights in the Preflight Briefing or just 2 of them and the other 2 when you arrived at the Homebase again? Thanks for answering and have a nice weekend:)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you so much for watching and for your financial support of the channel! If we do 4 flights, we usually study all relevant information for all 4 flights before we start the first flight. During the flights or when we are on ground again, we update the weather forecasts and see if there are any changes to the previous information. If there are a lot of NOTAMs for flight 3 and 4, we may study these in detail if we are in the cruise section of flight 1 and 2. Have a great day!

[@BillyKone]

Great video, thank you captain! I enjoyed the handflying up to 10,000 feet. Does your airline have any SOP's regarding that? Earliest, latest you can/must engage AP? Edit: Just finished the video and saw that awesome manual landing! Any SOP's around that? Thanks!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your good feedback! The pilot flying decides when to switch on or off the autopilot. Minimum altitude to switch it on is 100 feet above the ground and 5 seconds after takeoff. It must be latest on when we fly in the RVSM airspace at FL290 or higher. For landing, it can be switched off whenever we are below FL290. Sure, and it has to be switched off for a manual landing.

Great video captain. When landing you usually say/apply manual braking around or just before 70 knots. In this landing I noticed you said/applied manual braking a lot earlier before 70 knots. Is this due to the weather?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching! Manual braking is usually done when we want to brake more or less than the braking of the autobrake system. Most of the time, it happens when approaching the turn off from the runway. With manual braking, we can brake in a way to have the correct speed for the turn off taxiway.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks. We asked the approach controller very early about a speed limit. He said free speed. For the 4 NM point, the Tower controller was responsible. We did not talk with him about the speed. So we used the standard speed at 4 NM. We also could have assumed that the info about the approval of our own speed may had been valid also for the Tower controlled airspace.

Thank you! They fly very similar. The A321 is heavier and has to be flared a little earlier during the landing. Also the A321 is more stable in the air and crosswind does not really matter because of the high approach speed.

Hi there! With longer taxi’s do you write town the taxi route or is it all done from memory? Thanks, have a great day.

Hi there, I'd like to ask if you pilots feel that sharp pain I your ear during decent because i really feel that pain, almost like my eardrum will burst😂. If you do, how do you deal with it since you fly almost every time.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question! As long as we are in a good health state, we usually do not have the described symptoms. This would only happen due to pressure differences and changes during the flight, if we would be flying when our eustachian tube, which is located between nose and ear, is fully or almost fully clogged. It is very important that the eustachian tube is not clogged whenever you fly. To help clearing the tube, you may use a nasal spray. I suggest using a nasal spray which is salt based or homeopathic.

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Ja, eine gute Tonaufnahme im Cockpit hinzubekommen ist nicht einfach. Man kann das hier auch in einigen älteren Videos hören, wo der Ton nicht so ist, wie ich ihn mir vorstelle. Ab und zu ist er immer noch etwas laut oder übersteuert. Aber - ich denke - in erträglichen Grenzen.

Amazing, these full flight videos are the best... what does the ecam status item in the after start checklist mean?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your good feedback! The ECAM status would show any monitored systems which are not working or only partly working.

Tolles Video! Wie immer ;) 👏 Würde mich freuen, wenn wir mal zusammen fliegen - wenn der Zufall es so will.

ha mit dem gehör klappt es auch nicht , saß schön am springbrunnen mit denkmal aß genüßlich ne'griechentasche mit käse&zwiebel in kettwig und lauschte den dingen die da fliegen manche haben schon fahrwerk draußen obwohl es noch essen ist - sind wohl zu schnell ? steilkurven (ruhrtalbrücke) sehen von unten gut aus ähnlich modellbau flughäfen , ich vermute mal das ist physikalisch noch nicht alles was airbus kann 👋👍

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Der Airbus könnte bis zu 67 Grad Schräglage in der Kurve darstellen. Das ist jedoch sehr unangenehm für die meisten Passagiere. Deshalb belassen wir es bei 25 bis 30 Grad. Mehr Schräglage verwendet auch der Autopilot nicht.

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos 😅 sure ... even this angle's look impressive (by that way , captain joe plus another pilot ask "5 most difficult question" nur von dem "funchal a3xx landen" konnte ich die frage mit 1/4 , 1/2 und 1/4 figure D richtig beantworten ) diese luftbus berufung stellt ihr piloten.-/innen sehr gut da ! - 👍☘️

Hi there, I'd like to ask if you pilots feel that sharp pain I your ear during decent because i really feel that pain, almost like my eardrum will burst😂. If you do, how do you deal with it since you fly almost every time.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

No, we do not have such problems. Only if we are sick. But we are not supposed to fly if we are sick. I am not a doctor. But I assume that if you feel pain during the descent, there may be something wrong with your eustachian tube. This is the connection between your ear and your nose. If it is clogged, it may be very painful during the descent. In bad cases, the pain may last a few days. It would be solved immediately if the doctor pricks the eardrum. I suggest not to fly if the eustachian tube is clogged. If it is partly clogged, you can use a nose spray to improve the situation. I strongly recommend natural products, like salt based sprays or homeopathic droplets for your nose.
