My first landings on an Airbus A320

[@lahirurasanga00]

I always find it so cool when flying these airliners without the uniforms!

[@TobiasLauner]

Yeah, it is very comfortable. We fly the private jets very often in normal clothes on ferry flights. I love it

[@frankward67]

From a 220 hour pilot I have to admire the consistency in touch down spot and centerline discipline, something that I am still trying to master in my Mooney. Nice job.

[@TobiasLauner]

Thanks Frank

[@v1rotate391]

Airspeed control is key

[@Doggepe]

@@v1rotate391 Also correct Vref becomes more accurate with larger jets with constant calculations of weight & balance. Most clubs have a set "safe" landing speed for most small props

[@lbowsk]

It's easier in the Bus than it is in your Mooney.

[@sztojanbarna]

Airbus A320 is FBW. There isn't much to do there to be honest. Once you set the attitude and the speed it pretty much does all the compensations by itself. :-)

Totally agree, my record is 14 in one flight. On a Tecnam p2002 😅2 hours of touch and go. I didn’t get bored.

[@rnzoli]

Base training is always exciting, as I heard :) It's the first real aircraft after the sim, it is somewhat (or a lot) different than the sim, and there is always a chance for something not going as planned, such as rough landings. I heard it from a pilot who was participating in these on the jumpseat for safety reasons (just in case the captain becomes incapacitated).

[@Doggepe]

I thought the 737 was very close to the sim, rough landings are felt for sure in the sim as well, but of course a difference when it's actually real life haha

[@OmnipotentEnt]

@@Doggepe I think the psychological factor of "oh wow, I'm in control of the real thing now" comes into play too! As far as developing muscle and spatial memory of the cockpit, VR sims and level D are the way to go. Feels exactly the same as sitting in the real thing. Speaking from a 737 perspective as well :)

[@rnzoli]

@@Doggepe maybe the 737 sim is better than the Airbus sim, or the different control method (sidestick vs. control column) plays a role, who knows :)

[@faizska]

Man this remind me of my ZFTT back in 2016 . Time flies. Now I’m on the bigger bus but the memories of your first jet landing will be with you forever.

[@TobiasLauner]

Mine was beginning 2017. Not far away from yours 😉👍🏻 Always happy landing 😃

[@LuLeBe]

Such a cool video! I have no intent to become a professional pilot but I did try out an A320 full motion sim and can recommend that to everyone who enjoys this stuff! And, funnily enough, compared to my landings on the PC, it was rather easy to control and land. The connection to the aircraft is much better. I can only imagine how much better the actual plane must feel, real dream come true for you!

[@KillertoastGaming]

I agree, always failed in msfs at the beginning, first time in the flight sim (a real pilot training one) - nailed it directly.

[@TobiasLauner]

The benefit on the real aircraft (or also in a full-motion sim) is, that you can feel the aircraft. When preparing for takeoff or landing, I always tighten the fasten seatbelts to get a good connection to aircraft’s motion. Feeling the aircraft is very important!

[@PilotA350]

I'd kill to fly an A320 pattern for once in my lifetime, you're living the dream man

[@rougedog8111]

I was speaking to a pilot who flies a a380 I was saying wow what an amazing exciting job he said actually the hard part is take off and landing the rest is quite booring he said he felt like just a glorified bus driver

[@HELERsx]

@@rougedog8111 I dont know to which pilot you were talking but thats just not true. Of course TO and Landing are dynamic situations but its not like driving a bus! You are always focused which is even more difficult when the AP does the job. You are always aware of your position and where to land in case of emergency or major system failures. This is the hard part. The fun begins with troubleshooting midair or in dynamic situations like TO and landing...In fact you cant just pull to the right and stop the bus to look whats the problem and every PAX is safe. You have to solve problems with your FO or FC while the plane shoots through the air with 800kph+.

Love this video. Been trying to learn and perfect Landings on the Airbus on FSX, so watching you do Touch & Go's was really helpful. Was the Autothrust used after initial take-off or was it all 'manually' controlled? And was the Autopilot used at any stage or was it purely 'hand-flown'?

[@TobiasLauner]

Hi Simon, the autothrust kicks in when setting TOGA at takeoff and was used until touchdown. The autopilot was not engaged the whole time. Manual thrust flying is a procedure I learned later on the line. Manual flying only was the goal of that training. Nowadays I fly Autopilot/Autothrust OFF on most landings.

[@sembi2805]

@@TobiasLauner ist beim base training manual thrust vorgeschrieben bei den meisten Airlines? Oder wird generell nur manual geflogen

[@TobiasLauner]

@@sembi2805 Wir hatten hier Autothrust on bei dem Training. Erst bei “retard” haben wir Idle gezogen. Heute fliege ich immer Manual Thrust bei meinen Landungen. Wie das andere Firmen umsetzen bei den Trainings, kann ich dir leider nicht sagen.

The Airbus manual recommends auto throttle on all approaches, however in the US manual throttle approaches are practiced at least twice per month. Good to have the muscle memory just in case. Great video. I bet you felt tired after a bunch of these. The workload is really mentally draining.

[@TobiasLauner]

absolutely correct 👍🏻

That’s what I always say, speed is needed to compensate for the weight and the induced drag resulted from increasing the angle of attack. Maintaining proper speed will be disturbed horizontally for a smooth touch down rather than vertically.

Great video....why was there a Dual input warning at 18:16? .......Did the instructor accidentally apply some force on his side stick due to their sensitivity, or did he do it deliberately? I know he is supposed to give a verbal 'I have control' request which i never heard, so am assuming he subconsciously did something as you touched down. Out of interest, in the event of a crazy suicidal pilot (thankfully almost non existent!) trying to deliberately crash the aircraft, who has the ultimate control in a A320? Does the aircraft computer give it to the captain. Anyway subscribed, these first landings were just 10 out of 10.
