There is a goof: When setting the flaps you can see on the ECAM that the FOB is 3480kg. But a second later the FOB is 2100kg. Anyway this is a very cool video. Thank you for uploading!
These videos from Baltic are the best! Pranis is a excellent instructor, controlled and measured... It would be a pleasure to learn to fly heavies from him... BTW, my father taught commercial helicopter pilot training for years, so I know competent instructors... Thank you!
You can't do it exactly like this in the standard fsx planes bcuz they suck u need to spend 40 bucks on aero soft planes or watch perfectgamer30 where he showed u how to download it free
It's only used when conditions warrant, or depending on local rules. Also, most pilots will perform a full autoland just once in awhile to practice. It's always up to the pilot to make the final decision.
Technically they have the technology to do this now using GPS, ILS, etc. all combined with an extremely powerful autopilot computer but itll in my view never be fully automatic should always have a set of two eyes on whats going on. It would make (in normal conditions) the job a lot less stressful for pilots who do lots of flights id think.
Actually I think this will happen sooner then you think fully automatic flying planes by computer without any pilots on-board. Reality is most crashes are because of human error where computers can't make those mistakes. It will be a slow transition first still have pilots on the flight deck but just watching computers fly then it will go down to one pilot in the cockpit then no pilots.
I have two questions : - 07:18 what is idle reverse? - In order to taxi to the gate you apply thrust as soon as you disengaged the autopilot on the ground right? Excellent video thank you
Engines of large aircraft produce some level of forward thrust, even at idle power, so reverse still needs to be engaged to cancel out this effect. Idle reverse is just that - "extended" reverse panels with engine power at idle.
I'd like to see Pranas do a full flight in his Airbus 320.. From gate to gate... Mostly because I want to see if I'm doing some of the setup of FMS right especially for arrival.. For all departure.. I understand how to do the route that's no issue there.. I just find I can learn a lot from watching others do it & Pranas is pretty darn good with the Airbus.. :)
this video was so helpful, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. This tutorial was so helpful as I undergo my training stages in my career that I’m finally taking somewhere. Now I can finally commute to my nearby McDonald’s so that I’m never late again
Very well explained. For me it has been very useful since I fly the Airbus family planes in "Flight Simulator" and there were some things I still didn´t understand. Thank you so much :)
I’m jealous of these sophisticated autopilots. When I was flying, my ‘78 C172 didn’t even have a wing leveler. No GPS then. LORAN-C was the hot thing....didn’t have that either! 😆
@m7mad95 AP2 is autopilot 2. You press it when the copilot is flying. Autopilot 1 is engaged when the captain is flying. When on approach you press them both to make the autopilot more accurate. BRK FAN stands for brake fan. It does what the name states. It cools the brakes down.
Just a wonderful clip that makes it all sound so easy when in fact it isn't. When something goes wrong is when they earn not near enough for all the skill they have.
Pranas, why do the Boeing equivalents have so many flaps positions compared to the seemingly small number on the Airbus aircraft? In any case, Airbus avionics always seem to make it look so easy...
yeah watching the Airbus version of this and also the Boeing video on auto land the Airbus seems so much easier and simpler to use with less work to do
The reason is, the Boeing make their premade degrees. The Airbus uses a computer to create its own degrees based on speed weather and height and weight. airbus is all by computer..Boeing is all by captain.
Depends on the weight. I can see the outer wing tank are transferring so it's probably not carrying much fuel. 122 sounds fine for an empty aircraft on Flaps 4. The speed is reduced in a segmented manner to each flap setting, which is exactly what Pranas did. The autothrust is fully capable of reducing the speed in a controlled fashion to any selected value within VMO and VLS.
Hi, would be nice if you can include the MCDU where you need to confirm the approach and maybe a focus where the localizer is intercepted on the Nav screen...
I'm not a pilot but when I saw this video I bought MFS on Steam games. It's fun to spend free time playing games. However, your video is my reference. Thank you.
A lot of the time an ILS approach will be used, but then the autopilot is switched off when they have runway in sight, or, when MDA or MDH is reached (minimum descent altitude, or minimum decent height). An MDA is a baro height, an MDH is a radar above ground altitude. Of course, if the A/C reaches minimums on an ILS approach in instrument conditions, and the runway is not in sight at that time, a missed approach is declared. (ICAO Annex 6)
Plainly spoken both autopilots are the same thing, but they are using different data sources (like air data, flight director, etc). There is more than one basically for redudancy (in normal ops usually when the Captain is PF, they fly on AP1, when the FO is PF - they fly on AP2) and for when performing a CAT III approach (coupled data sources give higher precision)
DH(decision height) and minimums are the same thing. Here it is set to 20 feet meaning the pilot must have the runway in sight at "minimums" callout to continue with the landing. If the pilot does not have a visual on the runway they must execute a go-around.
Oh! Thank you for your response. I have no question for now (because I am new on this.) At this moment I am learning from others people comments and I did not see the response for azert69ify or Leon B. so I was wondering where their answer are. I booked mark your home page so you’ll be hearing from me once I have meaningfully questions. Thanks again
+George Pierson airbus uses a fly by wire system that uses a joystick, located to the left of the seat, so the captain has it in his left hand and the copilot has it in his right
1. Tune the ILS freq. of the runway on the NAV1 radio. 2. As you approach the runway's general heading, click the 'App' button on the MCP. 3. The flight-director will show your deviation from the glideslope & course, but there will be no actual movement as the autopilot is off (if it is off, that is). 4. Finally, switch on the autopilot using the appropriate button and the aircraft will guide itself to land! These are general instructions for the stock FSX a/c. Search youtube for specifics. :)
Far from it. And I am sure this aircraft was configured to be probably 75% full of passenger and cargo. These planes actually can go alot slower than I used to think.
Normally all 3. Using full reverse thrust with just the mains down can get squirrelly, esp when there is a crosswind. It has to do with the sideways component of reverse thrust, which reduces directional stability.
If you'd looked up the published Cat 3 ILS approach to KLAX RWY 25L (the preferred emergency runway there), you'd see they have you intercepting the localizer and glide slope at either 3600' or 5000' when assigned by ATC. Not 10,000.
In the A3** family the AP1 and AP2 decisions during app/landing are always compared one to the other. If they are different, the decision that provides the *least* movement is executed and AP disengaged. This is to prevent instrument error from causing, like, AP1 to think "I should really go full nose down at 100 feet" and nothing stop it.
That's the problem with the old CRT screens. They are also heavy and get really hot. For many years now Airbus has been using LCD screens which are much better.
There are many more things to do in fmc...if u dont put the proper information in the flight computer nothing will work... u have to put the ILS frequency for the ILS to work. This video only shows the autopilot aspect of a320. Great video! I want to see a 747-400 simulator vdo...please make 1 if its possible!
awesome video. i have sim check in the coming month....so will be required to do circuits...one with 2 eng and one with one eng failure at v1.....i knw its easy stuff...but been out of flying since 3months.. so would be better if get a chance to get to see..when to do what stuff..thanks guys...keep it up u doing grt stuff for aviation community
@Nick V: Did you consider reading the question? Of course pilots have to know how to land the plane manually. In fact even with the technical possibility mosts landings are done manually. But landing with success in cat 3 conditions (ZERO vertical visiblitiy and 50 meters horizontal visibility) manually is next to impossible, because you can't see the runway until it is too late and you have possibly already created a nice crater. You win dumbest answer of the year, without any doubt.
Colaholiker Thank you. I asked this same question to an actual airline pilot yesterday and he said no, the plane must be flown on autoland. Thanks for pointing out who won the dumbest answer.
I'd be surprised if thy were required to land on autoland all the time, as they absolutely MUST be fit to do it manually any time, as long as the conditions allow it. (If conditions don't allow and for technical reasons autoland is not an option, they have to divert.) I would guess the percentage og how many landings must be manual or automatic can vary, but an "always autoland" policy seems as strange to me as the intention to attempt a manual landing in CAT3 conditions, unless there is really no other option.
Basically AP2 does exactly what AP1 does. They both essentionally monitor each other to add a level of redundancy. You could use just AP2 if you wanted, but that would not provide the level of redundancy required for a CAT3 approach.
Ok thanks for the advise. Yeah I was always doing this use LOC and then APP but as you said sometimes the airplane didn't catch the glide and it didn't start the descent at the descent point wich is annoying because you have to set the AP manually and manage the descent yourself then. I know now why... I will use now that APP button only when ILS is aviable. Thank-you for your help.
Depends on weight, but also elevation of airport, temperature, air pressure, length of runway etc. VRef is a tricky calculation on a flight computer, but thankfully pretty much done for you on modern airliners.
I dont have an Yoke, i use only Keyboard & Mouse for MS Flight Simulator 2020. manual landing is not feasible. But this video helps me understand this complex plane. Good job!
rojamb And if the landing must be aborted at DH (Decision Height ) the aircraft will touch the runway and as the engines spool up the climbout is performed.
That is correct. Usually you can feel the difference as autoland is.. let's say less gentle. Also, if you are seated in one of the first rows you can hear the autopilot disconnecting from the flight deck.
sykkel boy vwhat are you bullshitting about? Gamers are weirdos that have no life just sit at a video game for 24 hours a day in their moms basement getting fat.
That is an ILS approach you're thinking of I think. For a full autoland, you do not need or want to switch off the autopilot. All current tech aircraft with full autoland capability can perform all phases of landing, including final approach, flare, and rollout. In a full Cat 2 autoland, you only switch off the autopilot when you've decelerated enough to start looking for your taxiway to exit the runway :)
Is there anyway you could attempt to show a full flight video of you flying the plane with a step by step walkthrough of everything you do? You can break up the flight into different videos too! I would love to see something like this in an A320
Thanks for the video! It seems to me that pilots understand the word "auto" differently from the general public. Before watching this video, I expect that there is a single red button labeled "auto landing" and the aircraft simply will do everything required to land, just in case there is something wrong happened to both pilots and can be found easily by inexperienced flight crews.
I am so jealous.. As a 911 dispatcher in NY, my only dream was to have been a commercial airline pilot but naturally, we all don't get what we want. I'm content helping save lives, but I so badly want to get flight time in a simulator-would be a dream come true!!! Whether 737 prefer or airbus, this would be amazing! I envy the instructor in this video who can do this all he wants, what amazing thing to learn and practice!! Back to my 911 lines now
Hello Baltic Aviarion, I`ve watching your videos for a few months now, and they are so great !, Im an Aviation Enthusiast, Best Regards from Costa Rica, Our Airport Code MROC.
No... You just need to enter the Runway that you're landing on and the approach in the CDU, and the CDU will look for the NAV1 ILS Freq. in his AIRAC base for the freq. or he will select the most powerful signal, but usually the CDU uses the AIRAC base to find the frequency. If it's wrong you can change the freq. in the RAD NAV page on the CDU.
i have a couple of questions: 1) lowering the landing gear... is it done at one dot above the G/S path achieved or when?... 2) what is the difference on the throttle handle between idle reverse and full reverse? thanks.
Im flying an A320 tomorrow for the first time. Don't know how id manage without this great youtube tutorial. THANK YOU!!
Good luck
how was the experience?
What? So you relied to yt vids to learn to fly???? Wtf?
Using this tutorial for FSX lol.

Nope, no buttons. Reverse thrust has multiple positions: "reverse idle" and if you pull thrust lever further down into rev - "reverse thrust".
excellent thanks

Pranas, you are gonna be a great pilot. Anybody who will have you as an instructor, is lucky.
"Does anybody know how to fly a plane?!"
Ah.. Yes.
I do. Not an A320, although I would stand more chance than someone who has only ever flown sim programmes in an emergency.
Excellent, Pranas! Thanks for the truly outstanding instructions.

Funny that he said "We are FIFTY MILES to the rwy" and he was at 2200 feet and getting the ILS signals.

One question...why Reverse Thrust under 60knts though?
if using full reverse, the Airbus Rule:
70 kts Idle reverse
40kts Reverse completely off
you dont want engine ti throw debris into the inlet

Do airline pilots have to know how to successfully land a plane manually in a cat 3 approach?

Yeah no it’s not really that automatic
Believe it or not Autolanding is more work than manual landing…..
For a student you're a very good teacher. Cool vid !
123 knots are a bit slow. isn't it?
+Itz Srexor [Pause] Depends entirely on the weight.
+Mads Frost yes. you're right
Depends on weight, but also elevation of airport, temperature, air pressure, length of runway etc. VRef is a tricky calculation on a flight computer, but thankfully pretty much done for you on modern airliners.
*Lucky* You're not Pilot, right? I love people without competence and a great mouse. ;-)
I dont have an Yoke, i use only Keyboard & Mouse for MS Flight Simulator 2020. manual landing is not feasible. But this video helps me understand this complex plane. Good job!
I've heard it's a fairly hard landing, not quite as smooth as when done manually.
Ye its mostly for a confirmed landing when your in Zero visibility. Lands hard to assume that its a wet runway.
rojamb And if the landing must be aborted at DH (Decision Height ) the aircraft will touch the runway and as the engines spool up the climbout is performed.
Yes, but its better than landing on the grass because you can barely see the runway.
That is correct. Usually you can feel the difference as autoland is.. let's say less gentle. Also, if you are seated in one of the first rows you can hear the autopilot disconnecting from the flight deck.
I can now finally say that I learned to fly a plane from an 8 minute TH-cam tutorial
ALWAYS CHECK AUTOLAND FAIL LIGHT BEFORE AUTOLAND!

+MinecraftSBCGaming your a gamer,what would you know?
+David Harris most gamers tend to know more about stuff than non gamers. When playing a flight sim ur kind of a gamer
sykkel boy vwhat are you bullshitting about? Gamers are weirdos that have no life just sit at a video game for 24 hours a day in their moms basement getting fat.
+David Harris wtf is your problem? Are you mad or something? Not all gamers get fat you fucktard get a life
+sykkel boy all gamers are fat Virgins everyone knows that
That is an ILS approach you're thinking of I think. For a full autoland, you do not need or want to switch off the autopilot. All current tech aircraft with full autoland capability can perform all phases of landing, including final approach, flare, and rollout. In a full Cat 2 autoland, you only switch off the autopilot when you've decelerated enough to start looking for your taxiway to exit the runway :)
hello, can u do on glide slop alive, n explain 1dot and half dot, THanks
A great video from a great Pranas!
Wonderful video. Thank you for telling us these complicated-looking things in a such easy way.
Is there anyway you could attempt to show a full flight video of you flying the plane with a step by step walkthrough of everything you do? You can break up the flight into different videos too! I would love to see something like this in an A320
I'm soooooo in love with this guy! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video! It seems to me that pilots understand the word "auto" differently from the general public. Before watching this video, I expect that there is a single red button labeled "auto landing" and the aircraft simply will do everything required to land, just in case there is something wrong happened to both pilots and can be found easily by inexperienced flight crews.
OUTSTANDING video! - If I practice this in FSX on the same model, I wonder how accurate it will be?
I am so jealous.. As a 911 dispatcher in NY, my only dream was to have been a commercial airline pilot but naturally, we all don't get what we want. I'm content helping save lives, but I so badly want to get flight time in a simulator-would be a dream come true!!! Whether 737 prefer or airbus, this would be amazing! I envy the instructor in this video who can do this all he wants, what amazing thing to learn and practice!! Back to my 911 lines now
Hello Baltic Aviarion, I`ve watching your videos for a few months now, and they are so great !, Im an Aviation Enthusiast, Best Regards from Costa Rica, Our Airport Code MROC.
No... You just need to enter the Runway that you're landing on and the approach in the CDU, and the CDU will look for the NAV1 ILS Freq. in his AIRAC base for the freq. or he will select the most powerful signal, but usually the CDU uses the AIRAC base to find the frequency. If it's wrong you can change the freq. in the RAD NAV page on the CDU.
I really love your videos. Keep it up.
So what is Pranas doing these days? All these vids are great. Has he completed training? Working for an airline?
i have a couple of questions: 1) lowering the landing gear... is it done at one dot above the G/S path achieved or when?...
2) what is the difference on the throttle handle between idle reverse and full reverse? thanks.
since the auto pilot and auto thrust is engaged, arent you suppose to disable first before touchdown to be able to put it in idle to flare?
