[@DonMatek]

This is by far the most informative channel for aviation beginers. I'm paying attention to way more things now when on board an airplane.

[@raykrislianggi]

Captain Joe, I'd like to ask a question that's probably already explained many times in text everywhere, but I'd love to see how you explain it in a video because I know you can make this really interesting, and I'm sure many of us haven't known and want to know as well: What are the procedures / steps from taxi to takeoff (as well as the meanings behind V1, V2, and so on if there's any more). I recently learned that pilots are required to keep their hand on the thrust lever until V1. At that point, I realized that there might be many things we haven't known, and I'd like to learn some more in-depth. Hope this can be another topic for discussion, thank you captain!

[@otfjericho9979]

raykrislianggi - AniMusic raykrislianggi - AniMusic V1 on is when the pilots cannot abort the takeoff as there will not be enough runway for a safe stop. After V1 they will call out "rotate" and that's when the pilot in command (PIC) pulls back on the yoke or joystick and the after will start to climb V2 is then the aircraft is in the air, climbing safely and the speed is good either maintained or increasing and it is when the pilot retracts the landing gears and proceeds on the flight Hope that helped buddy, however I would like to see him make a video on it as it will be a great vid. :)

[@Firecul]

V1 is as you say the go/no go point. After this speed you are taking off unless of very extreme circumstances as there is almost certainly not enough room to stop. Vr is the rotate speed which in small planes can be very near V1, this is when the pilots will pull back to pitch the plane up and get in the air. V2 is safe climb speed, once you achieve this speed you may pitch up more safely until you maintain this speed as a minimum. During the takeoff roll the pilot flying (or sometimes the captain in either case, I think it varies) will keep their hand on the thrust (or throttle) levers in preparation to react to any possible abort. Between 0-80knots take offs can be aborted safely and so if there is a warning during this phase that might cause them to not complete the flight they most likely will abort here. 80knots-V1 is the high speed regime, at this point you would only stop for anything serious enough to effect how airworthy or safe the plane is, (eg engine fire/failure, bird strike etc, ) as stopping at this point is putting quite a strain on the brakes and may cause a couple of smaller issues. After V1 you would generally only attempt to stop with a very big problem, dual engine failure for instance. For most other things it's better to take off and deal with it in the air. Planes are made for flying so as long as it CAN fly at this point that is the safest choice.

Hi Capt Joe, Your videos have been very informative. Non pilot like me can easily understand the content. My question to you is what is NFP and FP. How it is applicable in long haul flight. Thank you.

[@jaysmith1408]

ᒍᕮ᙭ᖇTᐯ crabbing?

[@spielgespieltDE]

jfsa380 no.. In this "Abdrift" the airplane isn't centerlined with the runway on approach. It is flying a bit more to the right or left.. and short before landing, the airplane centerlines with the runway.. It looks like the aircraft is going to land on the grassfield behind but in the last second it's there xD

[@PilotEngineer]

Captain Joe Thank you!

[@alfredomarquez9777]

Very well done Captain. One old mnemotechnic rule about Navigation Lights, is to "read" them from left to right, if the light goes from Red to Green (like an streetlight going into Green), then the airplane (or boat or ship) is going "away" from you, "no-problem"... But if the light is from Green to Red... Get Alert!, it is coming towards you!

[@PrabhatKaushik]

Hi Joe, I've always wondered how is weight balanced on an aircraft since its centre of gravity is so important...how all the luggage weight and distribution is calculated as well as those overweight carry in luggage (and passengers).. how is it all factored in? I am also concerned a bit with such heavy bags being stowed in the overhead bins funny as it might seem to you who obviously knows everything about this :). It would be great if you could do a video on the whole weight distribution thing!! I had also come to know that ferry flights behave quite differently due to not being loaded.. can you please include this aspect as well (if you do see this comment and decide to do a video that is)? And by the way excellent video!!

[@dstarfire42]

On the closeup of the nosewheel (1:04) it looks like there's some sort of red ribbon dangling across. Is this one of those 'remove before flight' tags mentioned in another video? Combined with the turn off light it looks almost like somebody has taped a flashlight to the side of the landing gear.

[@cowman301]

Why do airbuses sometime park with the flaps down

[@PrograError]

maybe landing/takeoff requirements for that craft in that airport?

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Good question, I´ll make a video about it ;) Greetings Joe

[@danielgabutin6339]

.imho. I guess it has something to do with Bleeds in relation to Temperature.

Anything like that I'd guess is based on the hydraulics when the engines are off.

[@alexmelia8873]

Joe, its interesting to note that general aviation have backwards taxi and landing lights than how you explain. My taxi light is short distance, wide angle, and landing light is pencil-beam, long distance

[@BadAssEngineering]

Why don't airplanes use high power LED lights, like the ones used for Off road vehicles? those consume way less energy and are much more powerful

[@noroy2]

BadAssEngineering its just matter of time...

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

LED lights have a limited range (sight) of usefulness. My guess, They probably don't met the full FAA requirements as xenon, halogen, HIDs do. Basically, the application for aircraft use is more demanding.

[@stargazer7644]

How many 600W LED headlights have you seen? They do consume less energy, but they aren't more powerful. At least not yet. The other reason is that every part used on an aircraft must be approved. It takes time and money to do this. The market is just starting to see some LED replacements for red/green nav lights and some lower powered exterior lights.

[@jsprite123]

Any reason why there wouldn't be cameras on the sides of the plane pointed towards the engines, so the pilots can see things like icing, fire, engine damage, etc.? Also, a rear camera is not needed?

[@ethansaviation2672]

Rear camera's are mainly used on longer aircraft so they don't taxi onto grass

[@stargazer7644]

@@alexmelia8873 A person with red-green color blindness can't differentiate between red and green. They both appear the same. If I show them a plane at night's lights and ask them if they're looking at the plane's left or right side, they wouldn't be able to tell. Imagine if I showed you a black and white photograph of a light and asked you what color it is? Most color blind people don't see in just black and white, but that that's how hard it is for them to distinguish between the colors they can't tell apart. I once had a color blind co-worker who simply could not read anything that was printed in red. We couldn't write in red pen on the whiteboard when he was in our meetings, for example. He never could exactly explain what he saw in that case, he would just say the red overpowered the letters. But imagine if your pilot was unable to read any information on his displays that was presented in red. A color blindness test is part of the pilot medical. People who are severely color blind can't be a pilot. Many people who are only slightly affected can still be a pilot. After all, nearly 10% of men have some degree of color blindness.

I was just on an A320 and saw all those lights on the wings and under the wings and wondered what they were for and what they meant. I figured the bright light between the engine and fuselage was like a headlight. Very informative and another great video, Captain Joe. I sat in seat 9A (Right in front of the left over-wing exits) and also saw how much the wings change form and all the panels and flaps functioning.

[@clovislyme6195]

I grew up close to an international airport. There was a point where one could stand and at which incoming aircraft would switch on their landing lights - at first powerfully illuminating the ground where we stood, before pivoting upwards. Maybe practice has changed since then, because this must, I think, have been below 10,000 feet - it would be about 3 miles from the apron.

[@justino4489]

Captain Joe, when I fly on older A319/A320 there is a very loud hydraulic pump grinding/whining sound near the over wing exits/main landing gear belly area that comes on during taxi to takeoff. I assumed related to adjusting flap positions in preparation for takeoff, but the noise is intermittent and comes on several times while taxiing like pressurizing hydraulic system or something. One time I was sitting on the taxi way waiting for takeoff on a Frontier (USA) A319 and the noise was very loud/grinding and kept coming on and off as if the pilots were having trouble with something, it was quite alarming but eventually took off with no problems. I did not notice this strange noise on the newer Swiss A321 I flew on recently. Not sure if you are familiar with this noise or if this is only on the older Airbus A319/20 series. Thanks ✈️

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but why do cabin lights have to be dimmed for takeoff and landing at nighttime?

What's the reason? Thanks.
