I love these videos that show you HOW and WHY to use all the 100 buttons we hardly/never use but are able to in some of the better MSFS aircraft. These deep dives and how to work and setup failures are tremendous! I'd expect nothing less from a former Boeing 737 driver!
Excellent video. Content like this that dives deeper into the workings of an aircraft and its normal and non-normal operations is what gets me excited to pursue flight school. I am watching this video in awe at the amount of knowledge and understanding that pilots acquire through their type rating, and I can't wait to go through that process myself. Many thanks for the great content!
Actually no, I didn't count that as I meant "normal" ways to start here. 1) Normal Start 2) Manual Start 3) High Pressure Air (ground air unit) Start 4) Crossbleed Start 5) Manual Operation of Start Valve
@@VirtualFlightTraining I just get in it and do my programming to the fms and off I go I don't mess with to much of the in outs of it, as far as doing stuff like failures and stuff I don't mess with to much.
Great to see a video about the many ways to start, especially in the Fenix as there are so many failures that can be simulated On note, Is there anything in the SOP’s for airbus in regard to which order the engines are started with an ASU? Reason I ask, I’m a ground handler who has experienced Air Start procedures and many occasions, from all 3 positions, on multiple aircraft, E175 crew had said their procedure specified 2 then 1, meaning we position ASU aside/ in front of engine 1 But any airbus crew has never really specified, they’ve been happy with either, 1 then 2 is more efficient for usas ground handlers as we can position the ASU prior to Step/Ramp disconnection, curious as to wether SOP’s specify or wether it can be a discretionary matter as the checklist and procedure could be done either way round Fantastic Video btw! Watched the channel many times to learn the PMDG!
Hi, on the A330 it’s usually engine 1 first in the A320 engine 2, however the FCOM gives the commander the explicit discretion to change the sequence as needed. The reason is that the engine started first is the one which powers the hydraulic system that powers the alternate brakes, on the 330 the blue system, on the 320 the yellow system.
Nice video as always! I was wondering why didn't you get an ECAM after the engine start since your fuel pumps were off. I was also wondering if you know the answer to why on the startup flows you don't test the cargo smoke loops, some real pilots don't even know why heh. Let us know when you finish your type rating pls!
I believe it takes a bit of time until you eventually get the ECAM alert for the fuel pumps. Yeah, they should have been ON of course - just too much switching around with panel states haha. Uupsi
Hi mate, the pilot do not perform cargo smoke test because it is performed automatically during FWC initialization. Basically, cargo smoke detection is managed by the CIDS directors, specifically by the SDF (Smoke detection Function). Hope It can helps you😉
@@VirtualFlightTraining hey! Nice to see you here! Thanks for your answer, that's interesting, so when you hear the triple click when starting up the aircraft, that's the FWC and it already tests up some equipment.
Hi, it would be four ways to start then, three of which I could cover - normal, ASU and crossbleed (#4 is the manual operation of the bleed valve which PMDG doesn't model). I already did a tutorial on the ASU and crossbleed starts so there wouldn't be much new in such a video anymore.
Thank you for this! On method 2, airstart, if you have insufficient brake accu pressure, what would you do? Is it ok to just confirm the chocks are on?

Had no idea there’s more than one way to start the engines! Can you discuss Crank if you haven’t done so already?
This plane has an insane detail, I hope your next video with emotion

Assumed windmill would be option 5

I didn't know that you can start the engines with the engine start broken, I'd really liked this new information thanks
Any time!
I really like this one!
I did not realize the fenix a320 had all.of these options for staring a engine, thatvwas cool to know.
It can do many other things 😉

really interesting and a lot of new information learned with this one, thanks a lot Emmanuel!
Would be awesome if you could make the same serie that you did with the 737... from startup to take-off... cruise... descent explained.
You probably been asked before why did you switch from Boeing to airbus ?
Is there a significant diffrence in start time regarding the a330 engines and the a320 or b737?

Can you make a video showcasing the x-plane 12 airbus a330 please? Thank you!
I'll consider it, but it will take a week or so.

@@clearprop09 yep. A Bite test is performed every time the cids power up.
Could you do a video like this, but for the PMDG 737?

Thank you for this! On method 2, airstart, if you have insufficient brake accu pressure, what would you do? Is it ok to just confirm the chocks are on?
Running the yellow ELEC pump (320) or the blue ELEC pump (330) will charge the accu pressure
Cool
What are the ways to start a 737? :)
The same excluding auto start.
this aircraft is a330?
No, Fenix A320
Mid flight engine start would of been cool
I'll see what I can do for the next one!
The planes need a CTRL+E button somewhere on the dashboard.
I don't think any other planes comes closer than the Airbus 😂
Thankfully osama is no longer around, and we can enjoy this video😂
💀💀
