[@gregfaris6959]

It may be easy to forget (or you could be forgiven for not even knowing) that you are watching a channel that carefully curates all responses, censoring those from professionals who may have some reservation or suggestions about what is unfolding. So you need to know you are watching a channel that is not actively contributing to aviation knowledge, culture or safety, and only seeks "likes" from those who unknowingly approve the content. As a professional French pilot, I offered some commentary about some less than optimal aspects of this approach, as well as this general environment, but all were brutally censored by the highly-sensitive Just Planes administration. I lose nothing, because I am sharing knowledge, training and insight I have from over two decades of flying in France and worldwide, but YOU lose because you are deprived of insights from a professional pilot who has flown this airport for decades. I was not insulting derogatory or in any way disparaging in any of my comments, but ALL were brutally censored and eliminated by Just Planes, and in some cases even the poor people who had the bad taste to ask questions in the first place were also axed, just because I answered. I would recommend unsubscribing from this channel, simply on the basis that they actively and aggressively suppress commentary that could better inform their fluff content.

Why does the engine number 1 is displayed as giving less thrust than the other 3 engines? for example, at 3:26 there is a significant difference !

[@CMBelite-FR]

Why did they have a LVR ASYM ( LEVER ASYMMETRY) on purpose ? you can see that they manually reduce the Lever 1 ( out of CLB detent) ? what's the reason to do so ? engine 1 slightly overheating ?

[@milantenbroek1214]

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the position of the lever doesn't matter for an airbus if it's in between CL or 0 as long as the auto thrust is engaged. In case of an Boeing, the auto throttle moves the levers as well so then it would be asymmetrical thrust. Still weird because I think everybody's inner OCD would like to have all the levers next to eachother...

[@CMBelite-FR]

@@milantenbroek1214 it does matter, as the lever 1 is not in the climb detent as the 3 other ones and therefore it will not have the same thrust as the 3 other engine

[@CMBelite-FR]

@@milantenbroek1214 when you are not in a detent, the thrust on the engine is based on the TLA ( thrust lever Angle). So during the descent, you can be in idle thrust on the FMA but if one engine is not in CL detent but a TLA of 30%, it will produce more thrust than the other engines which are on idle

[@milantenbroek1214]

@@CMBelite-FR ah okay! Then I don't know either why they did it.

[@davidkong1990]

It appears as though there is some form of degradation or failure. Notice at 1:45, there is a memo on the E/WD that says "NO RAPID THR CHANGES". A quick search of the A320 manuals shows a few conditions would be associated with this. If you notice, ENG 1 is actually at a higher thrust setting than the other 3 engines. I reckon we would need to watch the whole film to find out what's the actual malfunction.
