  • Happy birthday!
    • Check out Navigraph: navigraph.com
    JetBlue Airways flight 1121 service from Detroit Metro Int'l Airport (KDTW) to Washington Reagan (KDCA) in the Airbus A320. We depart into an ongoing birthday celebration for the approach controller and arrive into DCA on the runway 19 River Visual approach. Artificial intelligence tries to steal my cabin announcements.

    As a DTW based pilot & former Airbus driver... This video made my day.
    1: I appreciated the fact that even after ATC messed it up, you correctly called it "Joe Lou" because it's for Joe Louis like the arena in Detroit.
    2: You also caught the "Never Forget" on the freedom arrival. There are a lot of clever ones on that... Even the "Let's Roll" in honor of Todd Beamer, the passenger on United 93 that lead the uprising against the terrorists on that flight.
    And 3: the classic over speed of flaps 1 on 320/321s... The Airbus has the tightest flap airspeed restrictions of any commercial aircraft I've ever flown. And our company actually further limits this to 10knots below the speed tape restrictions. It was a constant pain in the ass. The plane doesn't like flying that slow. ATC commonly asks for 210 speed from arrivals and we always called 205 an "Airbus 210" so we could get that first notch of flaps out and fly with more margins for slowing down and going down which the Airbus doesn't like doing.

    Having flown in and out of Reagan numerous times and also spending many afternoons throughout my life at the aviation park this is the first time feel the accuracy of these flight simulations. It's truly amazing where they are on the technology of these flight simulations. Though what I will say is missing and pardon me I do not know what these things are called, are the light beacons from the ground that sort of signal you in I suppose. They are like little mini tower looking things, none the less, as I said, I'm truly impressed with the approach here.

    thanks for the vid - coincidentally my most "space shuttle-esque" take off was in an A319 out of MSP. We were nearly 2 hours late departing and the pilot just hammered it, kept it low along the length of the runway then yanked on it. Figure he must have done some "tactical takeoffs" for the airforce or something. Some passengers were concerned but it was pretty awesome.

    Welcome to the FBW A20N ! just wanted to mention that you have the fly pad to your left as a tablet with direct navigraph integration, a vatsim radio section, a lot of ground control features (pushback, payload, etc), and a lot of options on the aircraft itself
    to put it in a nutshell, it is very useful
    Btw : you have max flaps speeds written to the right of your nav display
    and several minor things that I noticed :
    1. you left your engines in ingnition the entire flight
    2. you did not arm the emergency exit
    3. the luminosity knobs for the overhead is right next to the Apu master
    and you seem to have figured it out but yeah you need Apu air for the engine startup

    Nice landing! Last year I was on an IRL flight into Reagan. Most brutal landing I've ever been on. We had 3 called-off approaches at the very last second. Major turbulence the whole time. When we finally landed, someone scrammed to the bathroom, while the plane was still moving. Then a fire alarm went off. The dude had lit up a cigarette. 😆
    The pilot and flight crew were very chill about it, figured it was a stressful landing and didn't have the guy punished for it. Heck I don't even smoke and I wanted a cigarette.

    There was this guy in my wifes high school who everyone said happy birthday to every day. He would get super angry and be like "its not my BIRTHDAY" and so like it became a thing everyone said to him. morning announcements listed him on birthdays whenever the kid doing that could get away with it, chanted it at assemblies, got all the new kids to go up to him and wish him happy birthday. He hated it. It got out to the other schools in the area. I dont know what happened to him but if you bring up the happy birthday kid in this town even fifteen years later everyone knows what you are talking about.
