Hello Cpt. Another beautiful and great departure video. 👌👍 As I said, I think the import of the necessary cards at the right time is brilliant. 🏆 What I particularly like about the departure videos is how the process in the cockpit proceeds. The shots to the front, view from the cockpit, are beautiful. I'm more and more excited about your channel. With this in mind, I wish you and your family and your crew a nice and happy Easter. 🐰 I'm looking forward to the next video. Greetings from Styria 🤗 Werner

Hi. Great video as always. Do you speak English to each other just because its being filmed, or would you speak English all the time anyway ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

All official company publications and books are in English. Also all checklists and callouts are English. The things we discuss in addition can be discussed in English or German, that is our choice as crew.

[@sweiv]

Great again and as always! Thank youuu very much

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you very much for watching and your feedback!

[@pinjaliina]

Not a pilot, but no wonder you had to ask the ground to repeat your engine startup clearance at 5:21 and still struggled to understand it… Being a Finn, you'd think that I'm very used to the way that most of us Finns speak English (and to be fair, you Germans have your own peculiarities as well), but this guy just had a sooo thick accent that it was very difficult to me too! A very nice cockpit view of the frozen Kemijoki river in any case. :)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and and your detailed feedback! We are all in the same situation. English is not our native language and the pronunciation is a little different from country to country. I haven’t been to Finland for a while. So sometimes a “please say again” was needed. The frozen river was very impressive! After a few more flights this isn’t needed any more. Have a great day! Greetings to Finland!

[@freedomforever6718]

Very professionally executed and presented.

[@hailzgeoff]

Yet another great video - getting better every time! Even showing us the settings on the MCDU ! I noticed that some of the ground controller's instructions were in Finnish - presumably to the Finnair plane that was there next to you. That must limit your situational awareness - does it happen a lot ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Usually the controllers speak to small airplanes which fly VFR at low altitudes in the local language. This is the same everywhere. These pilots must not be able to speak English. Sometimes you also hear ATC talking French or Spanish with big airplanes arriving at airports in Spain or France. I think that they try to avoid it but it happens. I do not like it because it does not help to improve our awareness.

[@drmal]

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I was taking a KLM flight back from Schiphol to Edinburgh last week, sat next to an off-duty KLM Boeing pilot who had been on the simulator. He was telling me how Airbus had "cracked it" compared to Boeing in terms of cognitive load and uniformity of pilot interface across their different types. I'm always struck by how ordered and consistent you're able to keep your "office".

[@marcusribbins1273]

Great video but it bugged me how the FO said the callsign at the beginning of all her replies to ATC instructions.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It is all about improving flight safety. This is a topic which shows also up on other videos here on the channel. This is my comment on that which I posted at another video: I hope that helps a little to understand why this is done sometimes:. Every country has different ideas about how they like the pilots to answer to ATC. But in general, both ways are accepted as long as the readback is coming timely and correctly. The reason for saying first the callsign and then the cleared altitude, heading or so is that when doing so the pilot flying dials the altitude ... into the flight management system and the pilot monitoring reads the altitude ... from the cockpit displays in the readback instead of just repeating the ATC message. Saying the callsign first gives the pilot flying the time to set the altitude ... in the system. If the altitude would be read to ATC from the display first and then the callsign, a slight answer delay may be possible. Especially in high density airspaces, ATC expects an answer without any delay.

[@Mike.Rowphone]

Crafty sod , Captains departure because its straight out ! 🤣🤣

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@caseyjones166]

What was the purpose of the chrono running on the ND? What was it timing?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We can use this chrono for everything we need a chrono. Examples are timing an engine start, a holding pattern, or for following ATC instructions like: arrive at this waypoint or altitude in X minutes or for a timed wake separation at the runway or for timing the takeoff to stay in the time limits for the takeoff thrust if one engine fails at takeoff ,,,,,,,,,

[@DNModels]

Nice!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching!

[@devansh8846]

When do you use those two clocks or stopwatches located below the landing gear lever, one above the UTC clock and one below it?

[@dgonL]

It looks like they are using the one below as a flight time timer. You can see the F/O start it just before takeoff.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

The one below the UTC clock is used as a flight timer. We start it at takeoff and stop it when on the ground again. Our ACARS system also records the times. But if this would fail, we have the stopwatch and our manual recordings on the OFP as a backup. This stopwatch displays only hours and minutes. The upper stopwatch is showing minutes and seconds. We usually do not use it because we also have a stopwatch available at each ND. We prefer to use the ND stopwatch for short term timings.

[@SteveSalisbury]

I find it interesting that when you readback rt, you say your callsign 1st and then read back as opposed to reading back the information and then reading your callsign. Is this is company procedure?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

That was already a few comments before your comment at this video. To make it easy, here is a reprint of my answer: It is all about improving flight safety. This is a topic which shows also up on other videos here on the channel. I hope that helps a little to understand why this is done sometimes:.

[@quaxderbruchpilot3846]

Wow ... another great Video!!! I really really like them. It will be great if the waiting time for new videos will be reduced ;-) One question re the take off. You climbed out of Rovaniemi and were cleared to BAKLA. Have you inserted the direct routing into the FMC? I think I missed the input.

[@eikeh5099]

The input was done at 16:40 by the FO. You can see the waypoint changing in the upper right corner of the nav display from „nepix“ to „abnepi“ meaning abeam nepix. Thats a function you can use in the mcdu that gives you the abeam points of the original flightplan when you insert a direct to a waypoint.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching, the friedly feedback and your question. It has already been answered. Have a great day!

[@marcusribbins1273]

Also, why isn’t the FO (as PF) allowed to conduct checklists, engine start, taxi or set TO thrust? At my airline, as PF, we are in control of everything.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your question. The airlines decide about if first officers are allowed to taxi the airplane when they are pilot flying. Here the airline decided that only the captain is allowed to taxi the airplane. As a result, the first officer always has to perform the pilot monitoring duties on the ground, even if she or he is pilot flying. Those SOPs are based on risk assessments which are done by the individual airlines. Lots of factors are taken into consideration during these assessments. Different airlines come to different results. So some airlines allow the first officers to taxi the airplane and other airlines do not allow it.

What is that TUS/TUX effect she mentioned?

[@eikeh5099]

The TAS effect has to do with the air density (especially cold weather) at the airport. She mentions it in regards to the stop margin. Because of the TAS effect the stop margin (remaining runway after an aborted takeoff) is greater than calculated.

[@devansh8846]

@@eikeh5099 thanks😊

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

It had been already answered. The TAS effect gives us an additional margin for a possible takeoff abort. The TAS effect is the greatest if the difference between the "Flex temperature" which we enter in the MCDU to reduce engine power during takeoff and the real outside temperature is very large.

[@bazokazoro4563]

If you enlarged the PFD/ND With FCU that will be very creative and more interested. Engineer dream to fly.
