Nice approach and I liked the method of using speed to dump altitude - takes me back to my time in gliders 😄

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks! Using a higher speed to dump altitude is a great method. It reduces the flight time and may save some fuel in comparison to the extension of speedbrakes, flaps or even the landing gear.

Another great video . Please can you explain why the time between selecting flaps 3 & 4 is always very short. Thanks

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Every approach is different. In general, 3 and full are both approved landing configurations. The difference is not that much. So, after extending the landing gear at about 1600 to 2100 feet above the airport, we usually extend the remaining flaps very soon to reach our landing configuration at 1000 feet.

[@abingdonboy]

Nice video as always captain The 1000ft stabilisation was very slick, from what I understand it Airbus’s design philosophy is to intercept the LOC at S speed or below (hence at least flap 1) especially when on such a severe intercept angle.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We were established at 1000 feet above the runway. Everything fine. It was a fast approach. But this shows that also a fast approach is doable without missing the 1000 feet gate. We intercepted the glideslope with flaps at 1. Airbus recommends to be at S-speed when intercepting the glideslope. We were faster. With S-speed it would have been a litte easier to get rid of the speed.

[@abingdonboy]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos yes all stable at 1000 so all good. My company just seems much more conservative, not a criticism at all, interesting to see some more slick approaches, I don’t see this on the line myself

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@abingdonboy Sure, this was a safe but fast and high energy approach. A good amount of approaches which I see are the opposite and are established in final configuration and speed early. Being established late is unsafe and provokes a go around and being established eary is safe but uses more fuel and makes more noise. Ideally, we descent from the cruise altitude with idle power and no speedbrake use to a little above 1000 feet. And then we add power to be established in landing configuration and speed at 1000 feet. Every pilot should know his or her airplane very well and shall be able to work with different energy level situations. For example, with a very light A320 you can fly clean to 2000 feet on the ILS and then extend flaps, gear annd you are established at 1000 feet. Maybe there is a need of some speedbrakes. With the A319 the same would not work. You would miss the 1000 feet gate. No chance.

[@federicogentile2762]

Hello captain and thanks for the passion you put into these videos. I was wondering whether the decision to perform the approach with or without the Auto-thrust is just up to the pilot flying preference at the moment or if it may be influenced by other conditions, thanks again

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your question. The pilot flying decides about autothrust or manual thrust. She or he can do this in the last moment. Airbus recommends to switch off the autothrust latest at 1000 feet above the runway if a landing with manual thrust will be performed. And CAT 3 approaches have to be done with autothrust.

Thanks for the response Captain

[@SweatyCam]

Great video as usual! Can you explain why you switch to manual thrust later on instead of leaving the levers in the CL detent?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for your question! The pilot flying decided to fly the final approach with autothrust off. So he had to move the thrust levers out of the climb detend and adjusted the thrust manually to the required value. The decision is done by the pilot flying. We have to be able to fly with autothrust on and with autothrust off. So it is a good idea to do both options on a regular basis.

[@zoltansebestyen2135]

Very nice video, thank you! May I ask you, what was the reason of gear was extending before flaps 2 not after flaps 2?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the good feedback and the question. At that point, we were a little fast for flaps 2. But we had to do something to slow the plane down to meet later the 1000 feet gate. So gear down was the right tool to get that all achieved.

[@Arcadiez]

Where do you see if you're high/low on the profile? Or do you have to calc track miles vs altitude?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question! In general, I calculate in my brain remaining altitude to get rid of until landing versus remaining distance to expect. The Airbus does also such a computation and shows the result on the progress page of the MCDU. Also, there is a small green dot which is visible on the left of the altitude tape of the PFD. With the newest software update, there is also a numeric value visible near the dot. This shows the deviation. The shown deviation is based on the entered routing and winds. If the flown routing will be shorter or longer or the wind is different, the deviation indication is wrong. During the final approach, we use the glideslope of the ILS or the vertical deviation indicator for non precision approaches

[@Tom-hc6jo]

Mega Video !

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Das freut mich! Danke!!!!

[@pilot8758]

A bit poor energy management for fo. Captain reminded him to get configured. Also after gs interception it is not worth extending speedbrake. Late stabilized overall.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The overall goal is to be established at 1000 feet above the runway elevation during a standard instrument approach. Some approaches are flown a little faster, some slower. This video shows that he was established exactly on the dot. And it shows that it is possible to slow the plane down during descent over a very short distance, even when being a little faster than usual. Besides the 1000 feet gate, there are no other gates on the ILS. Sure, most of our approaches are configured earlier and intercept the glideslope with flaps 1 and S-Speed or less. Nevertheless, this was a safe approach. It won’t get safer when established before the 1000 feet gate. The speedbrakes helped him slowing down. They were for sure needed due to the energy level.

[@BenM14-ZW11]

Awesome as usual Captain SB. Could we possibly have an approach with lots of turbulence, or some unusual event? Thanks again

Yes, as soon as the chocks are in place we release (switch off) the parking brake. This is important for cooling and a long carbon brake life.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

There is a VLS displayed on the PFD which is based on aerodynamic data (AOA ....) and the CG location. The other VLS is showm on the MCDU. This is based on the weight from the loadsheet and the current fuel. If the VLS on the PFD is higher, we add the difference to the approach speed in the MCDU.

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos ok that’s good for redundancy I guess….but why is it different? Does that suggest the plane is slightly heavier or different CG than calculated maybe? Maybe not much as I am aware of the warning that appears if 7 tonnes difference is detected.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

@@tomstravels520 Good thoughts! It will be different if the plane is heavier than in the loadsheet. But it also would be different if the entered CG is wrong or the AOA sensors are not 100 % accurate. Airbus says that the VLS check is not required and the loadsheet plus fuel may be more accurate than the weight from the FAC, calculated on basis of aerodynamic data. But we are on the safe side with the check and may detect a loadsheet error.

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I guess if it was an AOA error than that pilots VLS and other FAC computed speeds would be slightly different to FO’s as well

Can someone explain me how such a big aircraft follows the yellow lines? How do the turn on the ground.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We have a nosewheel steering system. To steer the nosewheel, we use the rudder pedals or a steeringwheel, which is called tiller. If we move the tiller for example to the right or if we press the right rudder pedal, the nosewheel is turned hydraulically and the plane moves to the right.
