Hello Cpt. Another fascinating and super nice departure video from one of the most difficult airports. 🛫👌 What I think is great is that the charts are displayed when communicating with ATC. I also think it's great that the TKOF Wind Limitation Chart is displayed just before the start! 🏆 All I can say is thank you for giving us the opportunity to see your beautiful and exciting work! I'm looking forward to the next great video! With this in mind, I wish you and your crew a nice week! Greetings from Styria 🤗 Werner

Werner, thanks for watching and the very helpful feedback! Have a good day!

[@Strathclydegamer]

Even with slot time pressures both flight deck crew and ground are unfailingly polite and respectful of each other. Strongly suggests our friendly Captain understands and appreciates how many different jobs/workers go into making each flight possible. As always clear professionalism, beautiful departure, superb video.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your very kind words! Sure, everybody has to be treated with respect. That is really important because everybody who works at and around the airplane is important for a safe operation.

Lieber Stefan, mal wieder ein herausragendes Video! Ich freue mich jedes am Samstag morgen für 20-30 min alles zu vergessen und mich voll auf dein Video zu konzentrieren! Vielleicht ist es ja demnächst möglich 2 mal in der Woche ein Video zu bringen? Ich biete nich auch als Cutter an. Ich glaube die Leite würden es feiern. Und nich eine andere Frage, hast du mal vor ein Video aus Dresden zu bringen? Es wäre für mich ein großer Traum meine Heimat mal von oben zu sehen. Vielleicht ist da ja mal was möglich, ich weiß das Eurowings 3x mal pro Woche hinfliegt. Viele Grüße und einen wunderschönen Tag wünscht dir Moritz aus Dresden!

Our Captain was in a hurry today.And i guess Madeira is Captain's takeoff/landing?Perfect demonstration as always.Thanks.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! If I remember right, we had a slot for takeoff. That means, we had to be latest in the air at a certain time. At Madeira airport, the Captain has to be special trained and he or she needs to do the takeoff and the landing. This is also the reason for the change of the controls to the First Officer during the departure.

Great Upload, I watch often the live stream from Funchal Airport, do you use always Flaps 1+F for take off here?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching, the good feedback and your question. We normally use flaps 1+F for takeoff. Sometimes we use configuration 2 or 3. Usually this is the case on very short runways or if certain obstacles penetrate the initial takeoff path. Flaps 1+F has less drag than the other configurations. As result, it uses less fuel.

Hello Captain, marvellous video, I was wondering how you talk to the ground crew without pushing a button, is it just an open mic or something?🙂

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the great feedback and your question! The headset of the ground crew is connected to a headset connector at the nose gear. It is part of the cockpit interphone. If we switch on the cockpit interphone, the gound crew hears whatever we say. Alternatively, we can keep the “hot” cockpit interphone off and use the push to talk button to communicate with the ground crew.

[@Mike.Rowphone]

Sounded quite urgent today , Captain is keeping to the clock .. Those passengers don't realize how lucky they are :)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I think we had a a slot. This is a takeoff time frame which is 15 minutes long. With such a slot, you have to be airborne latest at the end of that slot. If you do not make it, the next available slot may be much later.

[@Mike.Rowphone]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I might have not seen enough take off flights ... it's just that i've never seen the pilot engage 2nd engine before the 1st engine ready and fully available .

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@Mike We can start the 2nd engine as soon as the start valve of the first started engine is closed. The avail indication shows up a little later. That means, the second engine may be started before the start of the first engine is 100 % completed. The NEO is different: The start valve closes very late so that a partly overlapping engine start is not possible.

LPMA ist schon ein schöner Anflug. Ich hab das vor Kurzem im Flugsimulator mit der MD11 getestet, hat auch sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Etwas zu groß, aber es hat ohne G/A geklappt. Aber für den Blutdruck sind die "kleineren" Maschinen einfach besser geeignet. :P And allways 3 greens.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und die eigenen Erfahrungen! Die MD11 ist schon ziemlich groß für Funchal. Allerdings ist die Runway inzwischen lang genug für fast alle Verkehrsflugzeuge. Ab und zu landet in Funchal auch mal ein Airbus A330.

[@Lufdhamsda]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos das müsste der A339 von TAP sein, wenn ich mich nicht irre? Wie läuft an solchen kleinen Flughäfen eigentlich die Safety Demonstration ab? Wird das schon gemacht, während die letzten noch boarden, oder ist das dann einfach verkürzt? In diesem Gedanken gibt es ein Multimedia System mit Monitoren Board. Vielen Dank für die tollen Einblicke. :)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@Lufdhamsda Die Safety Demonstration wird gemacht, wenn alle sitzen und zuhören bzw. zuschauen können. Solange nicht alles demonstriert worden ist, können wir nicht starten. An manchen Flughäfen hat man durch die langen Rollzeiten mehr Zeit als hier in Madeira. Die Kabinencrew wird im Briefing darauf vorbereitet, wenn es eventuell schnell gehen muss.

[@devansh8846]

Making 180 on the runway is one of the amazing maneuvers. What happens if you rotate 10-20 knots after your rotation speed in normal conditions? Is there any rule for that?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your question. The complete takeoff is precalculated by a software from Airbus. This includes the rotation speed. We always rotate at the precalculated speed. There is no reason to do it later. If we would rotate later, the precalculation is not valid any more. The precalculation does not only take the runway length into account. It also takes the obstacles in the vicinity and other factors into account. And, the precalculation of the flight path assumes that an engine would fail at or after V1. Some runways are short and the normal rotation takes part not too far from the runway end. A late rotation may let you overshoot the runway before liftoff. If both engines are running, there are no obstacles and the runway is very long, a late rotation may be no problem. But we would never do it because it would be unsafe.

[@godfreyduncan7783]

Do you hit standards when you hit 5000?. Great video as well.

[@michaeltyrer6468]

Very informative vidoes always interesting. What percentage of a flight nowadays is autopilot used?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and the question. It depends a little bit on the pilot flying. He or she decides when to switch on or off the autopilot. During most of the approaches, the autopilot is switched off for landing somewhere in the descent between 3000 feet and 1000 feet. During departure, the autopilot is usually switched on somewhere between 1000 feet and 10.000 feet above the airport elevation.

Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Die Sprechtaste ist am Sidestick. Außerdem hatten wir vor dem Flug besorochen, dass ich ihm im Laufe des Abfluges dire Kontrolle übergebe. Ich bin dort nur gestartet, weil die Behõrde das so vorgibt.

[@GarethReecewood]

I would've thought the Captain only take off and landings at LPMA is unnecessary nowadays. Must be frustrating for FOs to never get any of the action here 😂

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Takeoff and landing at Madeira Airport is strictly regulated by the Portuguese aviation authorities. The captain has to be experienced in general and on the airplane, needs to take part in a special training program, and needs to fly to the airport regularly. This is done to provide a very safe operation into this very special airport. The videos you see here show approaches and departures during nice weather. This is not always the case. It could get very challenging. Even during low wind conditions, surprises are always possible. You have to be prepared for that. Sure, the runway is now longer than years ago. But the winds are still there.

[@1986schalker]

Just one question concerning the communication with ground service: is the comm via radio working by vox? Because i see no action with a PTT button as it works with ATC.

The headset of the ground crew is connected to the cockpit interphone. If the cockpit interphone is "hot" the ground crew hears everything what the cockpit crew says without pressing a switch.

The ground comms loops are open or more an intercomm? There didn't seem to be any push-to-talk happening, unless it was with your feet Capt Stefan?! I guess they physically plug-in to the aircraft.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The pushback crew plugs a headset into a headset jack at the airplane nose. When we switch our cockpit interphone in the cockpit to “hot”, the ground crew hears what we say without using a push to talk button. When we do not set it to “hot”, we have to push the push to talk button if we want to talk with the ground crew.
