Spent many hours as a kid watching Swissair DC-10s/DC-8s and DC-9s from the observation deck at Zurich.. beautiful work as usual captain. Happy contrails :)
"Standing by for lower" Ein Klassiker in Zürich, besonders von Norden kommend. Der geschützte Luftraum C unter FL100 liegt vergleichsweise leider recht nah am Platz, sodass da nur knapp unter 25 Meilen bis Touchdown sind. Mir hat mal ein Eurowings-Pilot gesagt, dass Zürich zwar schön ist, aber man tendenziell immer zu hoch und zu schnell rein kommt. Grüße von einem ehemaligen zürcher Approach-Azubi, jetzt Bremen Radar 👋
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das detaillierte Feedback! Ja, das stimmt! Zürich ist immer schön anzuschauen aber bedingt durch die Luftraumstruktur, Beschränkungen für die Nutzung des deutschen Luftraumes und die Hindernisse, ist man meist höher als man eigentlich sein möchte. Darüber hinaus kommen gerne Rückenwind und / oder Geschwindigkeitsvorgaben von ATC hinzu. Da wir vorher wissen, was auf uns zu kommt, können wir entsprechend reagieren. Speedbrakes, Fahrwerk und Landeklappen helfen dabei ganz gut. Schöne Grüße nach Bremen und bis bald im Funk!
Thanks for watching and your feedback! The description of the video says that this video was recorded prior to the introduction of my new PFD/ND camera setup and that I am sorry for the quality of the PFD/ND in this video. I think that it is better to include a blurry PFD/ND than no instruments at all. Please let me know about your opinion. Have a nice day!
Love the videos. As an Avgeek this is brilliant to watch. All the very best from Scotland. Thank you for bringing us what goes on in the cockpit. 👌🤝✈️ 🏴🇬🇧🇩🇪
Thanks for watching and your feedback! Yes, most of the time they keep you high and fast. But if you are well prepared, the final result will be good! Have a great day!
nice landing i just landed in Vienna with air traffic control online in micorsoft flight simulator (center and tower and ground) with Eurowings Fenix a320 it was IVAO network i flew in, there was even full atc coverage in paris
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Ein Anflug auf Dresden kommt bestimmt nochmal. Das kann jedoch noch einige Zeit dauern. Bitte um Geduld. Noch einen schönen Tag!
Thanks for watching. Sorry for the blurry instruments. This was taped prior my new PFD/ND camera setup. I thought better blurry instruments than no instruments. All the best to you!
Hey, if you end up doing an LHR, I'll be there 8th-12th all day live streaming (provided I get the right room with the view on 27R) I did a video before where i'd swap picture in picture videos around and shared each others videos. I can try and make a concentrated effort of filming it too rather than my static live streams there
I am not sure if I heard it properly but was the landing clearance for the following aircraft given on your short final? If yes, is that normal procedure in LSZH?
You heard properly and it was in accordance to the local procedures. The topic was already discussed before here in the comments section. Please scroll down a little bit for more information.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! This video was taped before the new camera setup for the PFD/ND. That is the reason for the PFD and ND being blurry. I thought it was better to show it blurry as to eliminate it completely. Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a nice day!
Amazing video as always, Captain. The first officer had a very interesting English accent - do you remember where he was from? My instinct says Holland. Other guesses where he might be from, in order: Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic. Thank you for the amazing content.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! I would love to show more of the flightdeck instruments ... But the space on the screen is limited. The overhead panel is not that interesting. During the approach, the only switches that are used are the switches for the exterior lights. The rest remains unchanged. During taxi in, the APU is switched on, and the yellow electric hydraulic pump is switched on if we taxi with one engine. I keep your suggestion in mind. Maybe I will produce a video once in a while, which concentrates only on the cockpit. Please stay tuned. Have a great day!
Nice approach and landing. A bit misty to start with, but very clear as you get closer to the airport. Interesting the way that you had multiple ATC frequency changes on the ground, just to get you across the other runway. Something puzzled me slightly - was I right in hearing the controller give a following plane (Croatia 464) a "clear to land" approval for runway 14, before you had actually touched down?
Every country or airport has some own regulations. In the US, I usually get the clearance to land as number 2, 3 or so. If I remember right, I also got landing clearances in Paris CDG in France before the preceding airplane even touched the runway. I like this much more as the very late clearances just a moment prior your own touchdown. ATC can always say "go around" if it would not fit anymore. The multiple frequency changes on the ground are required due to different controllers and responsibilities. Runway crossing has to be approved by the tower. For taxiing on taxiways, ground or apron is responsible. I called during approach for "short final". You are right, we got a second landing clearance which confirmed that we were cleared to land. That is much better than no or a very late landing clearance.
In Zürich, the controllers can give anticipated clearances to the following aircraft as soon as the preceding aircraft is over the threshold of the runway and only if the controller can anticipate that the preceding aircraft will be able to vacate in time
@@louissikkema5399 Does the weather play a role in this procedure? I think it's good practice when the weather is good. What when the following can't see the number 1? Or will ATC clear you regardless of that?
@@ezb77 the controler can only do if he has the visibility, but sometimes in zurich the far end of rwy14 is in the fog but the close end is clear, if that is the case the controler can give the clearance as soon as the first plane breaks out of the fog, and the controler can visually see it while the second plane might still be in the fog, but the controler needs to have visual on the first plane over the threshold
Depends on the Transition ALT meaning that if you are above that you are on a FL below that transition ALT it's like 5000 for example But that transition ALT is different to every airport.
Very cool video with great views thanks ! I wonder why both PF and PM keep the hand on the stick during the manual flying phase ? It should only be the PF no ? Or is there some kind of selection ongoing by the computers and they authorize only 1 stick to actually work... ? Thanks :)
They both have their hands on it, but only PF is making actual inputs, as you can see on the video. It's safe because if something happen you already have your hand on it.
Thanks for watching and for your question! The PF has the hand on the stick to make the inputs to fly the plane. The PM has his hand on or near the stick without making an input for 2 reasons: The push to talk button for the radio is located on the stick and he has to be able to take over any time from the PF, especially when he is flying the plane manually. If both pilots would make an input, the airplane makes an auto call "dual input" to warn the pilots. If we would intentionally do that, both inputs would be added. If one pilot makes a full left input and the other pilot at the same time a full right input, the plane would continue straight ahead.
The pilot flying has the hand at or near the stick to takeover anytime and to continue the flight manually. The pilot monitoring has the hand at the stick because the push to talk button for the radio is also on the stick.
Thanks for the friendly words! I try my best to make nice videos. There may be one or the other video coming over the next time with no or blurry PFD/ND. I already apologize for that. Have a wonderful day!
No complain at all. I meant even with blurry screens the video is great. I can't find words enough for comment. Thank you for giving us videos like these.
This is an amazing approach, mega super von Skyguide ✈️🇨🇭🫡 with beautiful ATC coms from the Captain, pretty smooth and nice flying from the FO, beautiful landing, nice CRM, nice coordination. One question, it would at be nice to see the taxi from this FO, but in EUROWINGS is it Captain only taxi? This would cool to see it until the end, the coordination between PM and PF! Changing the role after landing seems special, do you mind commentating on the reason? 🙏🏻 danke viel mal, safe flug, and thanks for the great content 🤩 amazing, Alex.
Thanks for watching and the great detailed feedback! Here the Captain is always taxiing the plane, even when he is not the pilot flying. In the standard Airbus SOP the pilot flying is always taxiing the plane. Some airlines allow the First Officer to taxi the airplane, others not.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks for the additionnal info Captain. I would be interested to hear your opinion on this SOP, but I don't think you can comment on this here. If you care to DM me, I will be glad! Keep up the nice work! As a pilot and as a cinematographer.

thank you very much for the tutorial video. PFD and ND screens little bit blurry. The other videos were sharp but this one is little bit blurry

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos i did not want to be rude :)
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos yes, of course it is better to attatch the pfd even if it is blurry
That was a nice easy run into A11 and of course a lovely video as always Captain. Loved it.😊

Something puzzled me slightly - was I right in hearing the controller give a following plane (Croatia 464) a "clear to land" approval for runway 14, before you had actually touched down?
Yeah, wasnt really according to the books... i was confused too that EWG received two landing clearences no one else seemed to notice yet

Thank you for the great video. At which altitude does European ATC change from using "flight level" (e.g. FL90) to the actual figure (e.g. 5000)?
Depends on the Transition ALT meaning that if you are above that you are on a FL below that transition ALT it's like 5000 for example
But that transition ALT is different to every airport.
In many European countries the transition level changes with the QNH, while the transition altitude usually is a fixed value in each country.
Thanks for watching and your question! It looks like that it already had been answered. Have a great day in Florida!

Please could you explain why both pilots hold the sidestick even when the aircraft is on autopilot?
