- We did landing training on the D-ABNY (A320) in Rostock-Laage (ETNL/RLG), Germany. After 6 touch and goes we were released for the line flights. This base training is necessary after the typerating on the simulator. The traffic patterns where all flown by hand. No autopilot during training.
We had a great time on the aircraft. It was a lot of fun, flying that amazing plane in real for the first time!

I always find it so cool when flying these airliners without the uniforms!
Yeah, it is very comfortable. We fly the private jets very often in normal clothes on ferry flights. I love it
From a 220 hour pilot I have to admire the consistency in touch down spot and centerline discipline, something that I am still trying to master in my Mooney. Nice job.
Thanks Frank
Airspeed control is key
@@v1rotate391 Also correct Vref becomes more accurate with larger jets with constant calculations of weight & balance. Most clubs have a set "safe" landing speed for most small props
It's easier in the Bus than it is in your Mooney.
Airbus A320 is FBW. There isn't much to do there to be honest. Once you set the attitude and the speed it pretty much does all the compensations by itself. :-)
There is nothing on earth more fun than this. I could spend all day doing touch and goes.
I love the landings as well 😍
Totally agree, my record is 14 in one flight. On a Tecnam p2002 😅2 hours of touch and go. I didn’t get bored.
So a plane flies perfectly fine without the uniforms 😀😀😀
Definitely!!!! 😂👍🏻 Much better
Yes Mpha, been working on the way I am going to deliver that information to my airlines management for the better part of 2 decades now 😄
you need to turn off the uniform detection system of course
@@friedchicken1 is there really such a thing?
@@sonnyanthonyzabala680 no
Man this remind me of my ZFTT back in 2016 . Time flies. Now I’m on the bigger bus but the memories of your first jet landing will be with you forever.
Mine was beginning 2017. Not far away from yours 😉👍🏻 Always happy landing 😃
Base training is always exciting, as I heard :) It's the first real aircraft after the sim, it is somewhat (or a lot) different than the sim, and there is always a chance for something not going as planned, such as rough landings. I heard it from a pilot who was participating in these on the jumpseat for safety reasons (just in case the captain becomes incapacitated).
I thought the 737 was very close to the sim, rough landings are felt for sure in the sim as well, but of course a difference when it's actually real life haha
@@Doggepe I think the psychological factor of "oh wow, I'm in control of the real thing now" comes into play too! As far as developing muscle and spatial memory of the cockpit, VR sims and level D are the way to go. Feels exactly the same as sitting in the real thing. Speaking from a 737 perspective as well :)
@@Doggepe maybe the 737 sim is better than the Airbus sim, or the different control method (sidestick vs. control column) plays a role, who knows :)
Love the sound of those CFMs. I really miss working on them as a mechanic. Hopefully I can fly them as a Captain one day.
The sound is awesome!!! Love them too. I wish you all the best, to fly one day 👍🏻
Brilliant video! Really pleasant to watch from this perspective and, of course, great piloting skills! 👏🏻
Thank you 👍🏻
Such a cool video! I have no intent to become a professional pilot but I did try out an A320 full motion sim and can recommend that to everyone who enjoys this stuff!
And, funnily enough, compared to my landings on the PC, it was rather easy to control and land. The connection to the aircraft is much better. I can only imagine how much better the actual plane must feel, real dream come true for you!
I agree, always failed in msfs at the beginning, first time in the flight sim (a real pilot training one) - nailed it directly.
The benefit on the real aircraft (or also in a full-motion sim) is, that you can feel the aircraft. When preparing for takeoff or landing, I always tighten the fasten seatbelts to get a good connection to aircraft’s motion. Feeling the aircraft is very important!
I'd kill to fly an A320 pattern for once in my lifetime, you're living the dream man
I was speaking to a pilot who flies a a380 I was saying wow what an amazing exciting job he said actually the hard part is take off and landing the rest is quite booring he said he felt like just a glorified bus driver
@@rougedog8111 I dont know to which pilot you were talking but thats just not true. Of course TO and Landing are dynamic situations but its not like driving a bus! You are always focused which is even more difficult when the AP does the job. You are always aware of your position and where to land in case of emergency or major system failures. This is the hard part. The fun begins with troubleshooting midair or in dynamic situations like TO and landing...In fact you cant just pull to the right and stop the bus to look whats the problem and every PAX is safe. You have to solve problems with your FO or FC while the plane shoots through the air with 800kph+.

@@rougedog8111 Dude I swear you are so funny....Im dead
Epic, respect for this awesome landings!
Congrats! Impressive!! And good luck, Captain!
Perfect landings, way better than many captains
Thank you Matia ☺️
absolutely love to see an a320 be flown without uniform
One of the things I like about this video is I can see the pilots eyes and what he’s looking at - mostly. So interesting.
ı can feel your excitement even from here. nice job perfect
Thank you 😊
So cool! I wish we were able to do that in Brazil before the checkride...😅
So nice ,hoping so much to do the base training. Thanks for the video what a experience
Which company you will fly for?
@@TobiasLauner which do you fly for?
In the USA, you get your certification for a particular airliner in a Class D flight simulator. You are doing things the old fashion way by flying the ACUTAL aircraft in a pattern several times to gain comfort with hand flying it.
Whoa...just looking at you doing your first landing is exciting and thrilling at the same time! Well done!
Thank you 😊
Always glad to hear about pilots using manual thrust control even on the Airbuses (as per other replies & comments)-gives you more control of the bird on its path down to the runway. Thank you for uploading! Pursuing my PPL rn and these videos are great motivation…
I didn't see any manual thrust on this video.
@@thefungusshow2535 correct, he used autothrust in this video specifically, but in other replies he mentioned that this was for introductory purposes. I’ll edit my original comment for that…
Yes, as you said @MGTOW. We used the autothurst for training purposes only. Today we can decide, how we use it. I only fly manual thrust, and if weather and situation allows, I do manual flight, without FDs and without Bird. That is my opinion the best way to learn the aircraft best.
@@TobiasLauner agree 100%!
Nice work. Impressive first landings
Thank you 😊
YOU NAILED IT!
Let’s butter that bread. Very consistent landings. Excellent use of situational awareness. Hope everything is going well for you a year later.
Thank you! It is working pretty good right now 😉
@@TobiasLauner are you a full time pilot on the A320 as of now?
@@captainemergency7477 Yes, I am 😉 Flying for Eurowings
@@TobiasLauner oh brilliant! I hope to fly for BA one day, I’ll be starting training in a few years 😉
@@TobiasLauner With which airline was the training? Because in 2018 D-ABNY was transferred from Airberlin to Easyjet.
Great video. Some intense training there.
Thank you Satos
Thanks for sharing, got mine IR CPL ready to go and pursuing ATPL
Have a great time in aviation 👍🏻
Der Kapitän ist Jürgen D.. Ein ganz toller Kolleger, Ausbilder und Checker. Ich hoffe sehr, er genießt seinen wohlverdienten Ruhestand! War immer toll mit ihm.
what an inspirational video! congratulations.
Thank you Tamer
Wow, what incredible machines! :)
Congratulations!! Nice vid and nice landing
Thank you Calvin ☺️
you know when its butter... You get the 5 callout
Am Anfang des Videos macht es den Eindruck als wäre die größte Herausforderung gewesen, eine bequeme Sitzposition zu finden haha :)
Danke für‘s Hochladen und die interessanten Ein- und Ausblicke!
Ja, das ist manchmal echt immer die größte Herausforderung… auch heute ab und zu noch. Wenn man unbequem sitzt ist das echt nervig 😉
really Impressive !!! well done Captain
thank you 😊
Solid landings for sure!!! Guten flug !
Love this video. Been trying to learn and perfect Landings on the Airbus on FSX, so watching you do Touch & Go's was really helpful. Was the Autothrust used after initial take-off or was it all 'manually' controlled? And was the Autopilot used at any stage or was it purely 'hand-flown'?
Hi Simon, the autothrust kicks in when setting TOGA at takeoff and was used until touchdown. The autopilot was not engaged the whole time. Manual thrust flying is a procedure I learned later on the line. Manual flying only was the goal of that training. Nowadays I fly Autopilot/Autothrust OFF on most landings.
@@TobiasLauner ist beim base training manual thrust vorgeschrieben bei den meisten Airlines? Oder wird generell nur manual geflogen
@@sembi2805 Wir hatten hier Autothrust on bei dem Training. Erst bei “retard” haben wir Idle gezogen. Heute fliege ich immer Manual Thrust bei meinen Landungen. Wie das andere Firmen umsetzen bei den Trainings, kann ich dir leider nicht sagen.
The Airbus manual recommends auto throttle on all approaches, however in the US manual throttle approaches are practiced at least twice per month. Good to have the muscle memory just in case. Great video. I bet you felt tired after a bunch of these. The workload is really mentally draining.
So cool to watch, passed my medical last month and hopefully starting training at the end of this year, this make me more and more exited😁
Have a lot of fun!!!! 😉👍🏻
Finish?
Doing touch and goes in a jumbo jet like that are so cool! Climbs a lot faster than a Cessna, that's for sure
The aircraft has a lot of power… That’s true. But we even have a better climb rate, when we are on max takeoff weight compared to a cessna C172 😉
That was an interesting and wonderful display!! Thanks a ton for sharing :-)
Thank you for your words. Your welcome!
Amazing video. Never seen anything like it!
Military do it all the time
Super Video! Da bekommt man doch nochmal einen richtigen Motivationsschub mitten in der ATPL Theorie :)
Das freut mich 😃👍🏻 sehr gerne
I so love thanks for this video. I'm really motivate to learn english language and to fly in PPL
great job capts well done
Thank you 😊
Great hand flying skill!
Thank you 😊
Some nice T&Gs there! Well done!
Thank you
I live close to EPWA and have seen such training in last years. Funny to see planes doing that patterns :) I think it was Wizz.
Wow man, so cool! I'm trying to go to flight school, I want to learn how to fly the Airbus! Awesome video!
Thank you 😉
Nice casual weekend flight guys
😂😉👍🏻
18:17 Man I never thought I'd hear a Dual input warning but nice landings :)
Congratulations my brother that was butter
Thanks you very much 😊
Sehr Interessantes Video, Danke für die Einblicke :D
Sehr gerne 😉
Guten Abend, Ich habe eine Frage um Video, bzw. zu den Verfahren beim Touch-and-Go. Beim normalen Take-Off ist die Entscheidungsgeschwindigkeit festgelegt bis zu der ein sicherer Startabbruch erfolgen kann. In Ihrem Video ist zu sehen dass bei Ihrem fünften Anflug der Start aufgrund einer Master-Caution-Meldung abgebrochen wird. Wie sind die Regeln im Falle eines Touch-and-Go-Manövers? Eine Entscheidungsgeschwindigkeit kann es nicht geben, gibt es einen fixen Punkt auf der Runway, gibt es eine Zeit nach dem Touchdown bis zu dem über den erneuten Start bzw. den Abbruch entschieden wurden sein muss? Das würde mich interessieren. Danke und schönen Gruß, Daniel
Hallo Daniel,
freut mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat und Du dich so für die Luftfahrt interessierst.
ja, da hast du vollkommen recht!
Bei einem normalen Start wird die Entscheidungsgeschwindigkeit genau ausgerechnet. die so genannte V1 ist genau der Punkt, wo wir vor dem erreichen der Geschwindigkeit einen Start sicher auf der Landebahn abbrechen können. Beim Touch and Go gibt es diese Geschwindigkeit nicht. Hier liegt es tatsächlich einzig und allein im Ermessen des Piloten, ob die Bahn für einen Abbruch ausreicht. Da die Landebahn lang genug ist in Rostock, hatte der Trainer (Kapitän) die Entscheidung selbst getroffen, hier den Start abzubrechen.
Ich hoffe, ich konnte dir deine Frage somit beantworten.
Liebe Grüße,
Tobias
Your Gonna be a Great Captain!
I hope so 😉 I‘ll do my best
@@TobiasLauner You can do it Hoping I meet you in an Airplane Hahaha!
Nachdem ich bei der zweiten Landung „5-five“ gehört habe, hatte ich Tränen in den Augen. Sehr gut gemacht Tobias 💪
ich danke dir ☺️
@@TobiasLauner aber gerne doch
Excellent job what a brilliant career this guy has ahead of him.
Thank you 😉 Flying since aircraft since 6 years meanwhile. Still have fun with it 😃👍🏻
You both looked so cool in the cockpit in causal clothing didn't notice at first how old the video is I hope your career is going well you are one very lucky individual.
Awesome video! Very interesting, very cool!
Thank you George
@@TobiasLauner Seeing people like you flying like that is very inspirational. Especially for an aviation addicted person such as myself. Friendly skies for you and all the best!
Funny how the camera almost makes it seem unreal, but it must be so cool to sit up there. Also very interesting to see the inputs on the sidestick, if I were to move it like that in flight simulator the plane would be all over the place lol, but good to know the real one acts like you'd actually expect it to. Either way very nicely done!
Thank you 😊
nice! doing a touch and go on a real airbus. cool! safe flight always captain.
Thank you ☺️
That's so cool
very perfect landing.
Thank you 😊
Just curious, after you touch down how long do you wait until you apply TO/GA power? I see that the plane trims itself after landing, do you usually wait until the trim wheel stops turning? Also, what flap setting did you use for the landings?
The instructor has to disarm spoilers put flaps the flaps up and make sure trim is in the green band. After that he says go that’s when the trainee applies TOGA. Till then the trainee is suppose to maintain centreline and not look inside what the instructor is doing.
he has to wait for flaps 1 and he can go then.
That‘s correct. Spoilers were disarmed. So the Captain retrimed the aircraft. Meanwhile, I set 50% thrust to stabilize the engines, as you do it on every takeoff and kept aircraft on centerline. When all flaps travelled to 1+F, trim was set correct and engines were stabilized, I got the call to set TOGA again.
@Floyd. B There is almost zero spool time on the engines on an A320. The only reason to delay is to get the flaps up and the trim reset. The plane is already hauling ass and needs very little power to get to takeoff speeds.
@@lbowsk depending on the engine variant, there is actually a noticeable spool time.
Good on you! I’m just about to finish high school and I can’t wait to be to in your shoes some day!
I wish you a lot of fun in flight school and in the job later on. It really is a great thing 😍
Nice i will also land a plane one day nice landing
On 3.39 there was a blink of priorty take over button. Why that blink happen? Also in second landing dual input warning sounded. Is that normal?
I want to fly for EasyJet in the future and waiting to start my PPL. Can't wait for the base training for airline flying in the A320.
I cross my fingers for you! Hope you will get that job and you make your wish come true!!!
@@TobiasLauner Thank you, hope you're having a great time in the skies!
Amazing practice touch and go many times to hone the landing skills. good job.
Thank you 😊
@@TobiasLauner
Are you the pilot of that airplane?
@@warrennazareno Yes, correct. You see me in that video
Wherever people fly to travel. Every pilot are great as workers in ✈️ help passengers or when they need. Beatiful the biggest planes been too.people know when they get ready for the ✈️ goes get ready to fly up in the sky been 2 times😮❤😊.
I will have my base check in couple of days, wish me luck!
nice landings!
Danke dir Andreas 😊
Man that was perfect landing that i ever saw in the youtube,i want to be in your flight!
Thank you. very kind
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 muito bom!
Thank you Fernanda
Nice touch and go man
Thank you very much ☺️
Butterrrrrr!!!!
Thanks you 😊
Nice touch down!
Thanks!
18:14 the sound of perfect landing
Depends, we don't want butter landings on contaminated or short runways (cloud slide or float). So, a perfect landing for a long and dry runway yes ;)
Tolles Video! Habe ich richtig rausgehört das es Air berlin war? Wurde das Type Rating noch kurz vor der Insolvenz begonnen oder erst später hochgeladen? :o
Ja, das Typerating hatte ich noch bei Air Berlin gemacht, Anfang 2017. Ausbildung war direkt bei Airbus in Toulouse. Das Landetraining war dann auf einem Flieger der Air Berlin
As far as how you manage when to begin the base leg turn do you use a radial on the navigation display to get an idea where the runway threshold is or is it done visually?
Hi James, yes, we selected the runway as approach. So you have a 5 mile centerline.
Very nice!
"Brain Explosion" Thank you 😉
Awesome !
thank you Andy
Can I ask, what is the Master Caution you consistently receive on approach? I'd have thought it was A/THR disconnect, but I believe elsewhere you said you are landing with A/THR enabled? Great video and thanks for sharing!
The ground spoilers are not armed, because we wanna just perform a takeoff again. That’s why the warning for that comes up. But we did that on purpose
@@TobiasLauner Ah, that makes perfect sense! Thanks for your response!
Woher weißt Du beim goaround welches die VR speed ist? Also wenn man schon etwas abgebremst hat, wie stellst Du sicher, dass Du nicht zu früh hoch ziehst? Das wird ja nicht nach Gefühl gehen, oder?
Amazing video!.
Thanks Patrick
Thanks Patrick
Is “base training” an EASa type rating requirement?
Is the A320 so much easier to fly than the other commercial planes in "real life"? Im just wondering how correct Microsoft Flightsimulator is since flying the A320 is a pure joy compared to other planes
👍👍👍
Excellent👍
Thank you 😊
The most dangerous part of training. Salutee
Nice video! Congrats. What camera did you use?
Thank you. It was GoPro3
Wowww
thanks 😊
Sehr cool geworden!
Danke dir 😊
So when doing this are you flying a pattern just like we would be in a GA? Presumably the pattern is much larger lol. Wonder if you have to setup the MCDU in some special way to make it happy when you do this?
You mainly fly raw data. Therefore you don’t have to configure the MCDU
It's really cool! Was it a video taken during the training at the company?
I just put the camera on the window during my patterns
What was the 'Go-around' for?
I'm dreaming of becoming an airlines pilot some day in the A320 too right now I'm still very young but I am very excited to do this too someday
I wish you all the best for that!!!! 👍🏻 Hope, one day, you will fulfill your dream!!!
Great video....why was there a Dual input warning at 18:16? .......Did the instructor accidentally apply some force on his side stick due to their sensitivity, or did he do it deliberately? I know he is supposed to give a verbal 'I have control' request which i never heard, so am assuming he subconsciously did something as you touched down. Out of interest, in the event of a crazy suicidal pilot (thankfully almost non existent!) trying to deliberately crash the aircraft, who has the ultimate control in a A320? Does the aircraft computer give it to the captain. Anyway subscribed, these first landings were just 10 out of 10.
Hi, great video and thanks for sharing.
Two questions if you don’t mind
1) why were you always approximately 20-30ft over threshold on every approach, is that a base training technique?
2) why did the instructor make dual inputs rather than taking over ? Not that I saw anything wrong with your flares, did he say why?
Please don’t take my questions as a criticism, I’m just curious
Thanks
1) To be honest… Haven’t realized the height over threshold. We tried to touchdown quite firmly, because we had to reconfigure the aircraft for takeoff again during the role.
2) The thing is, that you don’t feel the inputs on the other stick. So the trainer might give a short input before he realizes, that I did the same. Absolutely ok, instead of taking over the control. I know, that some others see it differently here 😉
@@TobiasLauner thanks for the reply….
Looked like a fun day out
Fly by wire system is doing a good job 👍🏽
that is a very good system!
is it part of the procedure to use the bird for this? or is it a personal preference?
We were taught to use it when flying manually. Meanwhile I don’t use the bird anymore
great job bro
Appreciate it
What happened there after the number 5 touch,when suddenly its stop? Btw its a unique chance to see touch n go like this...cheers 🍻🍻
A system failure came up. That‘s why we stopped. But recovered quick, so we continued the training
@@TobiasLauner what system failure? It happened the same on last landing!
@@BPPUK Don’t confuse the “Dual Input” callout in both last flight and 5th with the Master Caution which occurred only in 5th. Dual Input means that the Captain also used his sidestick (probably to correct) while the FO was the PF. You can also see the Green light illuminating.
@@konstasma yeah i know! But im not sure what i commented above… I am well aware of all the Airbus features.
He also took the chance to correctly wear his headset…first 5 landings were done with the mike and cable on the “wrong” side 😂
I want a type rating of A320, so it will be helpful！
