Our first A321 LANDING in Perpignan (Pyrenees)

Airbus A321 cockpit view on a ferry flight to Perpignan for maintenance actions. Join the pilots on the flight deck for landing on RWY 33 at LFMP.
Perpignan Rivesaltes Airport (Aéroport de Perpignan - Rivesaltes) (IATA: PGF, ICAO: LFMP), also known as Llabanère Airport, as well as Aéroport de Perpignan - Sud de France, is a small international airport near Perpignan and Rivesaltes, both communes of the Pyrénées-Orientales Department in the Occitanie region of south France.
The Pyrenees are a mountain range straddling the border of France and Spain. They extend nearly 500 km (310 mi) from their union with the Cantabrian Mountains to Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean coast, reaching a maximum altitude of 3,404 metres (11,168 ft) at the peak of Aneto. (Wikipedia)

[@PilotWanderlust]

Cool!

Thank you!

[@pierrickdenouel9064]

hi I loved your video but do you want to have an ear for communication? Where can I practice understanding this communication?

[@lukixzy6782]

😮🔥😁

[@PilotWanderlust]

Thank you!

[@PilotA350]

Great video as always captain! Do you have any guess how the ratio regarding IAE and CFM is at your airlines fleet?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Thank you very much! I‘m sorry, I don’t know. Maybe 30% IAE???

[@ChristophZamazal]

Im pretty sure I heard your voice today on Vienna Radar? Was it you?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Affirm! 😀

Thank you!

[@mauriceberns1593]

Richtig gutes Video, danke fürs teilen! 😍 könnt ihr das Datum sagen an dem die Landung stattgefunden hat? Ich glaube ich erkenne den Piloten der "F-HDGH"

[@PilotWanderlust]

Danke!

[@GuyInGermany]

Eine Frage, ich sehe beim Airbus (im Gegensatz zu Boeing) fast nur Auto Thrust Landungen. Dachte, das wäre fast schon Aircraft Policy. Hier war es eine Manual Thrust Landung. Ist das Company Policy abhängig, ob Manual auch erlaubt ist?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Ja, es wird auf dem Airbus fast nur mit ATHR on gelandet. Bei uns ist manual thrust allerdings ausdrücklich erlaubt und wird fast immer auch bevorzugt.

[@carstenu.459]

so you take the plane to Perpignan for kind of "mantainance" ? How long will the plane be there and how will you get back ?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Yes, depending on the required actions, a few days to a few weeks… We had a taxi drive to Barcelona and proceeded as a passenger back home.

[@carstenu.459]

@@PilotWanderlust Thanks for the fast response, really appreciate it !

[@PilotWanderlust]

@@carstenu.459 You are welcome!

[@TrzKeepo]

Is it common to perform without A/thr at your company?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Yes, it is.

[@MrLabtec70]

Amazing..... good job 🤩

[@PilotWanderlust]

Thank you!

[@76notam]

Good video ...for information the French is an aeronautic language..if you listen a French language in this ATC ...it'S for "Dragon 66 " a French helicopter "Sécurité Civile" type EC 145 ...for an "immediate excute" a medical emergency...better speaking in French !..in this case !😉

[@PilotWanderlust]

Correct! Thank you!

[@AM-tf7sd]

Eurowings?

[@PilotWanderlust]

Yes

[@amari.404]

Look how easy the airbus is

[@PilotWanderlust]

It‘s smart to make things simpler.

[@pjotrtje0NL]

Every time I hear the French talking French on ATC frequencies, it annoys me. I hated it then, I hate it now: it robs you of building a picture of what’s going on.

[@elpedro47510]

There is a flight school at Perpignan, so some student speak french, but almost all IFR traffic speak english, the french talking are mostly SEP in trafic circuit so not very important because the ATC tell them what to do to avoid getting in the way of the Airbus. And the french traffic in question is a rescue Helicopter.

[@TheReverses78]

Were you ever a pilot??

[@elpedro47510]

@@TheReverses78I am pilot and I am agree with you. I just explain why they speak French
