I apologize for the bad stabilization of the PFD/ND. Reason is that this camera is new as replacement for the previous broken camera. The basic stabilization was turned on to reduce camera vibrations caused by the airplane. Instead, the stabilization system of the camera added a good amount of movement to the picture all the time when there was any change in direction or acceleration or deceleration of the airplane.
What a great captain. Gave feedback with genuine feeling. As an employee, we can ask for nothing more. What a pleasure it would be to work with someone like them.
Love these videos💯💯. If I may ask, how exactly is the brake check done? I hear pilots mention it during taxi but I don't see any huge difference in speed . Or is it something little?
Thanks for your good feedback! The brake check is just a functional check of the brakes. When we start taxiing, I hit the brake pedals and see and feel what happens. It is usually not a large speed difference.
Outstanding as usual but this was one was particularly interesting as I am from Edinburgh so it's my home town. Your videos are wonderful - I have been interested in aviation since I was a child 50 years ago and never could I have imagined then it might be possible to watch a film of a flight all the way from Dusseldorf to Edinburgh. Just perfect, thank you so much.
Wunderschön guten Morgen! Fliegen bald mit Eurowings nach Thessaloniki. Deine Videos helfen mir unheimlich dabei meine Flugangst in den Griff zu bekommen. Danke dafür
Schön zu hören, dass die Videos bei der Reduktion der Flugangst helfen! Das freut mich sehr! Hier ist ein Video von einem unserer Anflüge auf Thessaloniki: th-cam.com/video/O8A6RORB9OQ/w-d-xo.html Ich wünsche einen entspannten Flug und viel Spaß in Thessaloniki!
Two very experienced pilots had a lot of fun together. The mutual appreciation by each other opened space for (of course very professional) extremely polite communications with a smile on their faces..
I love to hear this! Thanks for sharing your feedback! It is great that my videos help you with your flight anxiety! I wish you lots of nice and uneventful flights!
Amazing video and so nice to see EGPH again and this time on a full flight! Quick question, when you are given a "level at" by ATC is it preferable to program that restriction in the mcdu if not there already and let the plane fly managed descent, or is it quicker to manually select a rate of descent on the FCU and use the visual ref on the ND to aim to be at that level at the reference point?
Thanks for watching and for your financial support of the channel as a member! When we get an instruction from ATC to be at a certain level at a certain point, we usually enter the value in the MCDU flight plan. The easiest way to do the descent is to do it managed and to start it not much before reaching the newly calculated top of descent. This will be most economical, but it does not take an early reduction of the vertical speed into account. So sometimes, we enter into the MCDU an altitude 1000 feet lower but dial the correct altitude in the FCU.
Thanks a lot for your financial support of the channel as a member! I flew Cessna 406 Turboprop for a freight operation, MD80 series airplanes and Airbus A319 to A321 planes for different airlines in Europe and the USA. Most of my single engine flights were done in a Mooney M20F. In addition, I flew Cessna 172, Mooney M20J, Piper PA32 Lance, Rockwell Commander 112, Beech Sierra, Socata TB20, PA28 (different variants) ....
You can google this. There were plans for an artificial mountain discussed several times. The proposed project costs were several hundred million Euros to several billion Euros.
Thanks for sharing your comment! I originally thought the same! I started flying and used it to get to my business appointments. It was very rewarding and far away from boring. Flying is much more than watching monitors. So I decided to become a pilot. I still like it very much.
So the captain has replied very politely but I think you are rude and to say they are lazy shows more about you than anyone else plus I'm pretty sure there is more to being a pilot than watching monitors but that's probably way over your head after a comment like yours
I love these videos and they make my day better every time! I'm still waiting for the day that you get assigned on a flight to Helsinki! Hopefully that comes true someday. Thanks again for the video and happy summer and happy flying!
Thanks for watching and your great feedback! I - for sure - will try to make a video when I am scheduled next time to Helsinki. It may take a while. Please stay tuned!
I think you had a military C130 behind you at number four for the approach. (59:30) I heard the call sign "Shockwave Romeo". The Shockwave callsign is used by the US Military C130 transporters. I used to watch another cannel where the pilot posted his videos flying those. No offence, but I love the C130!
Thanks for your great feedback! Most of the time, we use the NEOs for long flights which are not good for full flight videos. I hope to fly a NEO soon on a shorter flight. And - for sure - I will try to record a video!

Good question! I listened on our radio to an ATIS transmission. Those transmissions provide weather information and runways in use.... But it looks like, it was not what I expected. It sounds like Amsterdam or so. Usually those same frequencies are used by several airports which have a certain distance. If getting closer to the destination airport, we for sure can hear the correct transmission.
Two things; the sensation of breaking through the cloud deck into sunshine must be always amazing. Thank you for putting real airplane in the description. TH-cam seems full of MSFS videos now!!
Hi Stefan Paul from Kent best channel on you tube another great flight did you manage to spend some time In Edinburgh lovely city. Keep up the great work Paul
Paul, thanks for watching and your great feedback! We had to fly back to Düsseldorf. Unfortunately, there was no time to visit Edinburgh city. I plan to come back another time as a passenger to visit the city and the area. Many greetings to Kent!
I’ve been hoping for your return to Edinburgh! Sorry about the clouds, they’re a permanent feature, we did our best to turn the rain off though! I can’t help but wonder if your flight contained the returning Tartan Army… from what I’ve read they left quite an impact in Germany and represented Scotland very well. It’s probably just my perception, but was the departure from a rather dreich Düsseldorf fast? Felt like it took no time to get to V1! Made me wonder if the aircraft was light. Beautiful approach with a view of the Bridges, and a very smooth looking landing. I enjoyed seeing the aircraft bearing down, reflected on the windscreen of the tug. 🇩🇪🛫🌍🛬🏴🧑🏻✈️
Thank you very much for providing your very detailed feedback! Also thanks a lot for turning off the rain! Yes, we were able to get some beautiful views. I agree, the acceleration was very good. Have a nice day!
Thanks once again for an amazing video. May I ask a question? Is there a certain amount of time after takeoff you have to hand fly the airbus or can you engage AP as soon as you're both ready? I'm assuming its more fun to fly by hand for as long as possible!
Thank you for sharing your great feedback! The minimum autopilot engagement altitude is 100 feet above ground, but not less than 5 seconds after lift off. Usually, we engage the autopilot much later. It is up to the pilot flying to decide whatever he or she likes. Most of the pilots I have seen switch it on latest at about 10.000 feet.
May I ask, on the navigation display, what are the two large yellow arrows that sometimes dance around and converge just below the bearing values between the range circles?
I do assume that you mean the 2 white RMI pointers. These are Radio Magnetic Indicator pointers which point to VOR 1 and VOR 2. If you lookup the navigation display in the video at 57:28, you can see clearly in the right and left lower corner that we tuned TLA VOR on both VORs and that the pointers are both pointing to the location of TLA VOR. TLA VOR is also displayed on the map of the navigation display. Here you can see that the conventional navigation aids (VOR) match the navigation display map which is provided by the inertial reference system and updated via GPS, as long the GPS is reliable available.
Great as always. Some interesting stuff in background on the taxi in. Oh and blues skies is good indeed for the UK but sadly lately it’s mostly grey and cold!!!!
Keith, Thank you very much for your good feedback and your continuous financial support of the channel as a member! I like the blue skies very much. I am sorry about the change to grey and cold! In Germany, it is also cold and rainy right now. Many greetings to the UK! Have a nice day!
I'm working on getting my PPL at the moment. You're videos are fantastic, so interesting, and give a great overview of SOPs in use in a commercial cockpit
Thanks for watching and for sharing your great feedback! I love to hear that the videos help you to get an impression what is going on in a commercial cockpit! All the best for your PPL training!
I am new to aviation. Is there a certain point on approach where the conversation between Captain & F/O is only about landing the plane ? I think it is called a "Sterile Cockpit" or does it vary between company policies ?
It is called sterile cockpit and applies to our flying below 10,000 feet. If you watch my videos and check the altimeter indication, you will hear no private conversations below this altitude. My understanding is that this applies to all airlines. Have a nice day!
Great flight and nice smooth landing. :) Also nice to see speed management during descent to give separation for that Lufthansa flight behind. There was even one takeoff in between the landings.
Hi Captain, Would you tell me the first officer´s model of the Headsets? I know the brand is Sennheiser but I don´t know the model. Thank you and sorry for the question!!!! Your videos are excellents.
Thanks for watching, your good feedback, and your question! Unfortunately, I do not know the headset model. They belong to the airplane and are provided by the airline. My general understanding is that Sennheiser does not produce new aviation headsets anymore.
My comment was going to be, are you only bad weather flyer? But then you came out of the clouds and the sun was shining. sorry back to German. Ich habe 30 Jahre in den USA gelebt , bin aber jedes Jahr nach Hause. Die ersten Jahre bin ich immer von Chicago aus mit Lufthansa, dann später von Miami aus auch immer mit Lufthansa. Irgendwann flog LTU und dann Air Berlin von Orlando aus non stop nach Düsseldorf. Egal mit wem ich wieder zurück flog, es war immer eine "Suppe" durch die wir durch mussten. Dann ging einem aber das Herz auf, als plötzlich der strahlend blaue Himmel auftauchte, genau wie in diesem Video. Es hat wieder Spaß gemacht mit ihnen mit zu fliegen.
Thanks for watching and your detailed personal feedback! Das stimmt: Oft haben wir eine "Suppe", durch die wir steigen, um danach den blauen Himmel zu sehen. Oder umgekehrt; Um schöne Aussichten auf den Boden zu bekommen, müssen wir erst einmal durch die "Suppe" sinken. Am liebsten fliege ich natürlich bei tollem Wetter mit blauem Himmel, keinen Wolken und unendlichen Sichten. An solchen Tagen kann man so viele schöne Dinge am Boden sehen. Wir können uns das Wetter ja nicht aussuchen. Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag!
Am Boden wäre das natürlich möglich. Wir haben sogar in unseren Karten von Lido für jeden Flugplatz unterwegs die letzte Wettervorhersage und die letzte Wettermeldung, die bis zum Abflug zur Verfügung steht. In der Luft benutzen wir keine Handys und auch das Datennetz der Ipads steht da nicht zur Verfügung. Wir rufen deshalb das Wetter und die ATIS über das Fugzeug-ACARS Datennetz ab oder hören die Ansage des Flughafens an. Damit ist auch sichergestellt, dass wir die aktuellste Meldung kennen.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Ich hatte, vielleicht fälschlicherweise, in Erinnerung, das die Nutzung von Handys im Flugbetrieb jetzt erlaubt ist und ein Video in Erinnerung bei dem es Probleme mit dem ils, der Navigation , nicht upgedateter Info über eine Fehlerbehandlung im Handbuch bei gleichzeitigen schlechten Wetterbedingungen am Ziel- und dann genutztem Ausweichflughafen gab. Danke für die ausführlichen Informationen und die Videos.
@@holgerschmidt4488 Das Problem ist eher, dass die Datenverbindung von Handy und Ipad in der Luft nicht stabil und teilweise gar nicht funktioniert. Eine brauchbare Verbindung gibt es meist erst kurz vor der Landung. Wir benötigen die aktuellen Informationen aber schon im Reiseflug, wenn wir den Anflug vorbereiten.
Super Video, wie immer. Aber Ihr seid offenbar in Düsseldorf von der 05R gestartet, in der Beschreibung steht 23L. - Great video, as always. But it seemed you started from runway 05R, in the description it is said 23L.
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback und den Hinweis. Ja, das war ein Start von der 05R. Ich habe die Basis der Beschreibung von einem andere Video übernommen und dabei die geänderte Runway übersehen. Ist inzwischen korrigiert. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
Love these videos, prefer this flag for Edinburgh 🏴 Hope you get chance to visit our beautiful country. A little trio on eurowings sounds good to me.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! I hope to have the chance to visit the area for a few days soon. About the flag: Would it be ok if I put both flags in the video title? Please let me know. Have a nice day!
Thanks for your good feedback! I work on solutions in regard to a MCDU camera. As always, it is more difficult than I assumed. First results may be published soon. Please stay tuned!
Fantastic video as usual! I really like that this channel doesn't cut out the waits and shows all details. After watching many of your videos may I have one question: Why are First Officers not allowed to taxi? I guess because it requires a lot of experience. But how does a First officer acquires this real experience (outside the simulator)? How do they make sure that new captains already have a lot of experience taxiing. I get it, Heathrow or Frankfurt are no training grounds, but there are many small airports with little traffic..
Thanks for your good feedback and your question! You are right. The Captain is always taxiing the airplane, even if he or she is not pilot flying. This is a company decision and procedure. All airlines do operational risk evaluations of the procedures. In regard to the taxiing, the result was that the company decided that only Captains should taxi the airplane. Some airlines are doing it this way. Other airlines allow the First Officers to taxi the airplane. If the First Officer is upgraded to a Captain, he or she receives comprehensive training, which includes the taxiing of the airplane.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you for the detailed explaination. I had to think of this comment recently because I stumbled over a recent Video on TH-cam, where a "Company" First Officer is 🚕 the airplane to the runway (under supervision of the captain). (I don't want to say which video, because I don't want to get anyone into trouble.. 🤫)
It depends. Especially when flying to the UK, there is often no room for private conversations. When flying back, we usually have some time to discuss private things.
It depends. Especially when flying to the UK, there is often no room for private conversations. When flying back, we usually have some time to discuss private things.
After you had a couple of directs on departure, it looked like there were some other waypoints on the ND? Are these some kind of manual waypoints used for situation awareness?
When we enter a direct to, we usually enter direct to with abeam. This puts the old routing waypoints as "abeam waypoints" in front of the direct to point. The name of the new points starts always with AB.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Brilliant, this is exactly what it was. I guess you can easily do fuel checks against the flightplan for example this way.
Hello Captain, yup, your FO was absolutely correct. That was indeed "blue skies" especially for Scotland. 😊 Great view on approach. Always super to see a place I know from above. Happy flying guys. ✈🛩
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Well yes, don't we all. 🤣 Good luck with that flying into the UK. Can be possible....occasionally! Maybe that's why I also enjoy your flights to the Mediterranean. More likely there. Love all your videos, always so interesting listening to the chatter too. Thanks for all your hard work in presenting them.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Of course! My girlfriend is a bit of a nervous flyer so these videos are helpful for showing her through the incredible amount of checks that are done before and during the flights!
Excellent video once again! May I ask you about the warning which was displayed on the PFD altitude tape in red at 1:01:04? It's the first time I have seen that but I can't read what it says as it's quite small... Maybe I need glasses 🙂
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! The CAPT PFD showed check altitude for a short moment because of a discrepancy between the CAPT PFD altitude and the FO PFD altitude. This was caused because the CAPT PFD altimeter was already set to the local altimeter setting (QNH) and the FO altimeter setting was still at standard. It went away as soon as the FO PFD was also set to local altimeter setting. Have a nice day!
A very enjoyable flight, the approach to Edinburgh is lovely isn't it? I remember a flight arrival or departure I cant remember but we flew closer to the suspension bridge and got a really great view of it. One question, I have noticed that when the First Officer has landed the aircraft control is always passed to you to take the aircraft to its final parking position, is there a reason for this? Thank you again for a great flight.
Thank you very much for watching, your great feedback and your important financial support of the channel! Company SOP is that the Captain always is taxiing the airplane, even if the First Officer is pilot flying. The airlines do operational risk assessments in regard to the SOPs and decide on the basis of the result who is allowed to taxi the airplane. Different airlines have different policies. Have s nice day!
Great work sir. I was wondering if you could go into detail about the airbus landing technique and how it differers from other aircraft? I am sure all your regular viewers 9myself included) would deeply enjoy this. Plus it would immensely help me as watching your videos has inspired me to book a session in a A320 level d simulator and consider a career change!
Thanks for your good and very personal feedback! It is great to hear that my videos are inspiring you and you think now about a career in aviation. Landing an Airbus A320 is very similar to landing a conventional airplane. Start of the flare is at about 30 feet. With a heavy A321 it may be a little earlier or with a lightweight A319 a little later. Retarding the thrust levers at about 20 feet - when you hear retard - is usually a good idea. I wish you lots of fun in the fullflight simulator!
A great video, as always! 👍✈ May I ask you a short question: considering only the A320ceo family, do you as an A320 pilot notice a significant difference in whether you're flying an A320-214 (CFM 56-5B4), an A320-216 (CFM 56-5B6) or an A320-232 (IAE V2500) - for example performance-wise? And what do you actually prefer to fly with? Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice weekend!!
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! I do not notice a big different between the mentioned engine variants. The A320-216 provides less power for takeoff. So on some runways we are restricted in regard to the takeoff weight. But when flying the airplane, I do not obsereve noticeable differences. I also wish you a great weekend!
Danke fürs Anschauen und das super Feedback! Wir benutzen inzwischen Ipads. In älteren Videos sieht man Microsoft Surface Computer. Die haben wir davor benutzt. Einen schönen Tag noch!
Yes, it is possible to request to fly with a certain colleague on the flightdeck. He or she needs to do the same. This may interfere with requested off days, vacation …
Good morning, thanks for another great video! ✈️ What is the reason for the "VLS check"? I've googled it and found that the VLS from the FMC differs from that on the PFD. But still not understand why you add several knots on the Vapp. For my understanding the Airbus keeps a constant GS(mini) and modifies the Vapp according to the wind. So why is it necessary to modify the Vapp so to say "on your own"? As the VLS is not the stall speed there should also be no danger? Thank you in advance for being so polite and answering the questions! Regards from "Hahn" 😊
First of all, thanks a lot for your financial support of the channel as a member! This helps to keep the channel alive! As you googled correctly, there are 2 different VLSs displayed. One on the PFD and one on the MCDU. Depending on the airplane modification status, they may have a different source. The PFD VLS is calculated on the basis of our entered CG and aerodynamic data (angle of attac). The MCDU VLS is calculated on the basis of the Zero Fuel Weight, which we entered from the loadsheet plus our actual fuel in the tanks. If the PFD VLS is higher than the MCDU VLS, we add the difference to the approach speed in the MCDU. It would not be dangerous if we would not do the VLS check with a possible increase of the approach speed. The VLS has nothing to do with the Groundspeed Mini Function. Have a nice day!
No. Ideally, they both are the same. If the VLS on the PFD is higher than the VLS on the MCDU, we find out the difference and add the difference to the approach speed on the MCDU. The result will be that the plane will fly not slower than the VLS PFD plus 5 knots.
I apologize for the bad stabilization of the PFD/ND. Reason is that this camera is new as replacement for the previous broken camera. The basic stabilization was turned on to reduce camera vibrations caused by the airplane. Instead, the stabilization system of the camera added a good amount of movement to the picture all the time when there was any change in direction or acceleration or deceleration of the airplane.

It is up to the pilot flying to decide whatever he or she likes. Most of the pilots I have seen switch it on latest at about 10.000 feet.
May I ask, on the navigation display, what are the two large yellow arrows that sometimes dance around and converge just below the bearing values between the range circles?
I do assume that you mean the 2 white RMI pointers. These are Radio Magnetic Indicator pointers which point to VOR 1 and VOR 2. If you lookup the navigation display in the video at 57:28, you can see clearly in the right and left lower corner that we tuned TLA VOR on both VORs and that the pointers are both pointing to the location of TLA VOR. TLA VOR is also displayed on the map of the navigation display. Here you can see that the conventional navigation aids (VOR) match the navigation display map which is provided by the inertial reference system and updated via GPS, as long the GPS is reliable available.
Great as always. Some interesting stuff in background on the taxi in. Oh and blues skies is good indeed for the UK but sadly lately it’s mostly grey and cold!!!!
Keith, Thank you very much for your good feedback and your continuous financial support of the channel as a member! I like the blue skies very much. I am sorry about the change to grey and cold! In Germany, it is also cold and rainy right now. Many greetings to the UK! Have a nice day!
Erst liken, dann schauen! :3
good to see that the co-pilot is enjoying his job
Thanks for watching and for sharing your feedback!
I'm working on getting my PPL at the moment. You're videos are fantastic, so interesting, and give a great overview of SOPs in use in a commercial cockpit
Thanks for watching and for sharing your great feedback! I love to hear that the videos help you to get an impression what is going on in a commercial cockpit! All the best for your PPL training!
Nice CRM and organization Captain! You guys did a great flight, thank you for sharing! Greetings from Adana / Turkey 😍
Thanks for watching and for sharing your great feedback! Many greetings to Adana!
I am new to aviation. Is there a certain point on approach where the conversation between Captain & F/O is only about landing the plane ? I think it is called a "Sterile Cockpit" or does it vary between company policies ?
It is called sterile cockpit and applies to our flying below 10,000 feet. If you watch my videos and check the altimeter indication, you will hear no private conversations below this altitude.
My understanding is that this applies to all airlines. Have a nice day!
I will be visiting the same airport soon, I love this channel ❤ thanks for such great videos where we can see what is going on in the cockpit!
Thank you very much for your great feedback!
Great to see thanks, especially the approach into Edinburgh, my parents used to live close to the Bridges
Thanks for watching and for sharing your good feedback!
Great flight and nice smooth landing. :)
Also nice to see speed management during descent to give separation for that Lufthansa flight behind. There was even one takeoff in between the landings.
Thanks a lot for your good feedback and for sharing your observations!
Hi Captain, Would you tell me the first officer´s model of the Headsets? I know the brand is Sennheiser but I don´t know the model. Thank you and sorry for the question!!!! Your videos are excellents.
Thanks for watching, your good feedback, and your question! Unfortunately, I do not know the headset model. They belong to the airplane and are provided by the airline. My general understanding is that Sennheiser does not produce new aviation headsets anymore.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you Captain, have a nice flights!!!!
Sehr schönes Video! 10:23 Wenn man Pilotseye und andere Dokumentationen geschaut hat, verfolgt einen gefühlt die DLH456! :D
Danke fürs Anschauen, das gute Feedback und das Teilen der Beobachtungen! Einen schönen Tag noch!
My comment was going to be, are you only bad weather flyer? But then you came out of the clouds and the sun was shining. sorry back to German. Ich habe 30 Jahre in den USA gelebt , bin aber jedes Jahr nach Hause. Die ersten Jahre bin ich immer von Chicago aus mit Lufthansa, dann später von Miami aus auch immer mit Lufthansa. Irgendwann flog LTU und dann Air Berlin von Orlando aus non stop nach Düsseldorf. Egal mit wem ich wieder zurück flog, es war immer eine "Suppe" durch die wir durch mussten. Dann ging einem aber das Herz auf, als plötzlich der strahlend blaue Himmel auftauchte, genau wie in diesem Video. Es hat wieder Spaß gemacht mit ihnen mit zu fliegen.
Thanks for watching and your detailed personal feedback! Das stimmt: Oft haben wir eine "Suppe", durch die wir steigen, um danach den blauen Himmel zu sehen. Oder umgekehrt; Um schöne Aussichten auf den Boden zu bekommen, müssen wir erst einmal durch die "Suppe" sinken. Am liebsten fliege ich natürlich bei tollem Wetter mit blauem Himmel, keinen Wolken und unendlichen Sichten. An solchen Tagen kann man so viele schöne Dinge am Boden sehen. Wir können uns das Wetter ja nicht aussuchen. Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag!
Kann man das Wetter nicht schneller über Handy abfragen?
Am Boden wäre das natürlich möglich. Wir haben sogar in unseren Karten von Lido für jeden Flugplatz unterwegs die letzte Wettervorhersage und die letzte Wettermeldung, die bis zum Abflug zur Verfügung steht.
In der Luft benutzen wir keine Handys und auch das Datennetz der Ipads steht da nicht zur Verfügung.
Wir rufen deshalb das Wetter und die ATIS über das Fugzeug-ACARS Datennetz ab oder hören die Ansage des Flughafens an. Damit ist auch sichergestellt, dass wir die aktuellste Meldung kennen.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Ich hatte, vielleicht fälschlicherweise, in Erinnerung, das die Nutzung von Handys im Flugbetrieb jetzt erlaubt ist und ein Video in Erinnerung bei dem es Probleme mit dem ils, der Navigation , nicht upgedateter Info über eine Fehlerbehandlung im Handbuch bei gleichzeitigen schlechten Wetterbedingungen am Ziel- und dann genutztem Ausweichflughafen gab. Danke für die ausführlichen Informationen und die Videos.
@@holgerschmidt4488 Das Problem ist eher, dass die Datenverbindung von Handy und Ipad in der Luft nicht stabil und teilweise gar nicht funktioniert. Eine brauchbare Verbindung gibt es meist erst kurz vor der Landung. Wir benötigen die aktuellen Informationen aber schon im Reiseflug, wenn wir den Anflug vorbereiten.
I like your way of composition and style of retouching.👌
Thanks for sharing your good feedback! Have a nice day!
Another smooth flight. Thx for sharing and - as always - happy landings 😉
Thanks for watching and for sharing your good feedback! Have a nice weekend!
Super Video, wie immer. Aber Ihr seid offenbar in Düsseldorf von der 05R gestartet, in der Beschreibung steht 23L. - Great video, as always. But it seemed you started from runway 05R, in the description it is said 23L.
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback und den Hinweis. Ja, das war ein Start von der 05R. Ich habe die Basis der Beschreibung von einem andere Video übernommen und dabei die geänderte Runway übersehen. Ist inzwischen korrigiert. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
Love these videos, prefer this flag for Edinburgh 🏴 Hope you get chance to visit our beautiful country. A little trio on eurowings sounds good to me.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! I hope to have the chance to visit the area for a few days soon. About the flag: Would it be ok if I put both flags in the video title? Please let me know. Have a nice day!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Haha of course if you wish, this is your content my friend. I'm just being pedantic
so cool to see as always! any way we could get a mcdu /cpdlc camera aswell? :) greetings from germany
Thanks for your good feedback! I work on solutions in regard to a MCDU camera. As always, it is more difficult than I assumed. First results may be published soon. Please stay tuned!
Fantastic video as usual! I really like that this channel doesn't cut out the waits and shows all details. After watching many of your videos may I have one question: Why are First Officers not allowed to taxi? I guess because it requires a lot of experience. But how does a First officer acquires this real experience (outside the simulator)? How do they make sure that new captains already have a lot of experience taxiing. I get it, Heathrow or Frankfurt are no training grounds, but there are many small airports with little traffic..
Thanks for your good feedback and your question! You are right. The Captain is always taxiing the airplane, even if he or she is not pilot flying. This is a company decision and procedure. All airlines do operational risk evaluations of the procedures. In regard to the taxiing, the result was that the company decided that only Captains should taxi the airplane. Some airlines are doing it this way. Other airlines allow the First Officers to taxi the airplane.
If the First Officer is upgraded to a Captain, he or she receives comprehensive training, which includes the taxiing of the airplane.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you for the detailed explaination. I had to think of this comment recently because I stumbled over a recent Video on TH-cam, where a "Company" First Officer is 🚕 the airplane to the runway (under supervision of the captain). (I don't want to say which video, because I don't want to get anyone into trouble.. 🤫)
This video and this particular approach over the city bring back good old memories from the high school 😢
Thanks for watching and for your personal feedback! Have a nice day!
did you record the return?
Yes. But I did not publish it until now.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos yeah was guessing so, would've been stupid to not record 🤣 looking forward to seeing it, was it the usual 24 or 06?
I think in those short flights you have no time to talk with your F/O
about other things, maybe some private...right?
It depends. Especially when flying to the UK, there is often no room for private conversations. When flying back, we usually have some time to discuss private things.

After you had a couple of directs on departure, it looked like there were some other waypoints on the ND? Are these some kind of manual waypoints used for situation awareness?
When we enter a direct to, we usually enter direct to with abeam. This puts the old routing waypoints as "abeam waypoints" in front of the direct to point. The name of the new points starts always with AB.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Brilliant, this is exactly what it was. I guess you can easily do fuel checks against the flightplan for example this way.
Hello Captain, yup, your FO was absolutely correct. That was indeed "blue skies" especially for Scotland. 😊 Great view on approach. Always super to see a place I know from above. Happy flying guys. ✈🛩
I agree, the weather was really good! But, in general, I prefer skies with no clouds, no haze and 100 miles visibility or so!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Well yes, don't we all. 🤣 Good luck with that flying into the UK. Can be possible....occasionally! Maybe that's why I also enjoy your flights to the Mediterranean. More likely there. Love all your videos, always so interesting listening to the chatter too. Thanks for all your hard work in presenting them.
In the uk we actually want global warming :-)
Sometimes, a few degrees more make the life a bit nicer.
Incredible videos!
Thanks! Please tell everybody about the channel! Thanks in advance for your help!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Of course! My girlfriend is a bit of a nervous flyer so these videos are helpful for showing her through the incredible amount of checks that are done before and during the flights!
I love to hear that! It's great that the videos are helping your nervous flyer girlfriend. I wish you both lots of nice and relaxed flights!
Great job, very enjoyable as always 👍✈️
Thanks for watching and your good feedback!
I hope to fly with this captain one day 🤍
Thanks for your kind words! Have a nice day!
How cool is that reflection at the end....

Very nice Video as always cap ❤
Thanks a lot ! Have a great day!
Excellent video once again! May I ask you about the warning which was displayed on the PFD altitude tape in red at 1:01:04? It's the first time I have seen that but I can't read what it says as it's quite small... Maybe I need glasses 🙂
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! The CAPT PFD showed check altitude for a short moment because of a discrepancy between the CAPT PFD altitude and the FO PFD altitude. This was caused because the CAPT PFD altimeter was already set to the local altimeter setting (QNH) and the FO altimeter setting was still at standard. It went away as soon as the FO PFD was also set to local altimeter setting. Have a nice day!
A very enjoyable flight, the approach to Edinburgh is lovely isn't it? I remember a flight arrival or departure I cant remember but we flew closer to the suspension bridge and got a really great view of it.
One question, I have noticed that when the First Officer has landed the aircraft control is always passed to you to take the aircraft to its final parking position, is there a reason for this?
Thank you again for a great flight.
Thank you very much for watching, your great feedback and your important financial support of the channel! Company SOP is that the Captain always is taxiing the airplane, even if the First Officer is pilot flying. The airlines do operational risk assessments in regard to the SOPs and decide on the basis of the result who is allowed to taxi the airplane. Different airlines have different policies. Have s nice day!
Very sympathic crew, I admire your airmanship and your communication as captain. Top notch professionals at work 💪👍😎
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! Have a nice day!
Great work sir. I was wondering if you could go into detail about the airbus landing technique and how it differers from other aircraft? I am sure all your regular viewers
9myself included) would deeply enjoy this. Plus it would immensely help me as watching your videos has inspired me to book a session in a A320 level d simulator and consider a career change!
Thanks for your good and very personal feedback! It is great to hear that my videos are inspiring you and you think now about a career in aviation. Landing an Airbus A320 is very similar to landing a conventional airplane. Start of the flare is at about 30 feet. With a heavy A321 it may be a little earlier or with a lightweight A319 a little later. Retarding the thrust levers at about 20 feet - when you hear retard - is usually a good idea. I wish you lots of fun in the fullflight simulator!
A great video, as always! 👍✈
May I ask you a short question: considering only the A320ceo family, do you as an A320 pilot notice a significant difference in whether you're flying an A320-214 (CFM 56-5B4), an A320-216 (CFM 56-5B6) or an A320-232 (IAE V2500) - for example performance-wise? And what do you actually prefer to fly with?
Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice weekend!!
Thanks for watching and your good feedback! I do not notice a big different between the mentioned engine variants. The A320-216 provides less power for takeoff. So on some runways we are restricted in regard to the takeoff weight. But when flying the airplane, I do not obsereve noticeable differences. I also wish you a great weekend!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos thank you so much for your answer!
Thank you Captain for sharing these wonderful videos with us.
Thank you very much for „flying“ with us! Have a nice day!
Schön. Vielen Dank.
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen!
Hallo:) geiles Video. Echt top. Was habt Ihr für ein Pad im Cockpit? iPad, Microsoft Surface etc.?
Danke fürs Anschauen und das super Feedback! Wir benutzen inzwischen Ipads. In älteren Videos sieht man Microsoft Surface Computer. Die haben wir davor benutzt. Einen schönen Tag noch!
If the captain and fo get along well can they request to fly together frequently?
Yes, it is possible to request to fly with a certain colleague on the flightdeck. He or she needs to do the same. This may interfere with requested off days, vacation …
wow, cooles Video 🙂
Danke fürs Anschauen!
11:26 what is the 6.0 for
6.0 stands for 6 tonnes of fuel. This is the fuel amount which we agreed about for the next flight.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos wow so you mean you are already planning for the next leg out of EDI during mid flight? Super cool
This is correct! We usually plan and discuss the fuel for the next flight before the landing and order the fuel electronically.
Lovely land love flying into the posh hotel
Thanks for watching!
Good morning, thanks for another great video! ✈️ What is the reason for the "VLS check"? I've googled it and found that the VLS from the FMC differs from that on the PFD. But still not understand why you add several knots on the Vapp. For my understanding the Airbus keeps a constant GS(mini) and modifies the Vapp according to the wind. So why is it necessary to modify the Vapp so to say "on your own"? As the VLS is not the stall speed there should also be no danger? Thank you in advance for being so polite and answering the questions! Regards from "Hahn" 😊
First of all, thanks a lot for your financial support of the channel as a member! This helps to keep the channel alive!
As you googled correctly, there are 2 different VLSs displayed. One on the PFD and one on the MCDU. Depending on the airplane modification status, they may have a different source. The PFD VLS is calculated on the basis of our entered CG and aerodynamic data (angle of attac). The MCDU VLS is calculated on the basis of the Zero Fuel Weight, which we entered from the loadsheet plus our actual fuel in the tanks.
If the PFD VLS is higher than the MCDU VLS, we add the difference to the approach speed in the MCDU.
It would not be dangerous if we would not do the VLS check with a possible increase of the approach speed.
The VLS has nothing to do with the Groundspeed Mini Function.
Have a nice day!
Thank you ✈️👍 do you want to keep a certain margin to the VLS on the PFD?
No. Ideally, they both are the same. If the VLS on the PFD is higher than the VLS on the MCDU, we find out the difference and add the difference to the approach speed on the MCDU. The result will be that the plane will fly not slower than the VLS PFD plus 5 knots.
Ah ok, got it 😊 and this is for A/THR on and off?
Yes, we do the same thing. With autothrust on and autothrust off.
Kleiner Fehler in deiner Beschreibung, da geht's nach Birmingham...😉. Wie immer ein klasse Video.
Vielen lieben Dank für den Hinweis! Ist inzwischen korrigiert!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos ......👍
Fabulous captain..
Thank you very much! All the best to you!
