      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

    • @MMGuy
      @MMGuy 8 років тому +6

      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.

    • @ehsan83
      @ehsan83 8 років тому

      in the action i didn't see any difference with normal reverse. is there any specific button to push or something to pull?

    • @MMGuy
      @MMGuy 8 років тому

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

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.. :)

    @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.

  • @slopit12
    @slopit12 11 років тому

    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.

    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. :)

    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)

    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 :)

    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.

      Yes, but its better than landing on the grass because you can barely see the runway.

    • @xXOxIdEXx

      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.

    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.

    • @Colaholiker
      @Colaholiker 8 років тому +6

      @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.

    • @EKopps071592
      @EKopps071592 8 років тому

      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.

    • @Colaholiker
      @Colaholiker 8 років тому

      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.

    • @felix_d5412

    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.

    • @CT7ALW
      @CT7ALW 6 років тому +4

      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.

  • @slopit12
    @slopit12 11 років тому

    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.

  • @brnmcc01
    @brnmcc01 12 років тому

    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)

    Well, they recommend no more than about 1.3 - 1.4 EPR on reverse thrust. Something about too much reverse thrust can greatly reduce directional stability, not something you want to try on a wet runway... There was an accident long time ago at Little Rock where some pilots tried to land in a thunderstorm, were too busy pre-occupied with landing in bad weather, and forgot to arm the spoilers. They applied max reverse thrust, lost control, and the PIC died when the A/C hit the approaching lighting.

    Hey Eisa, I must say you are a little bit wrong on this one. Cat III is widely used and can be found in basically any big airport nowadays.
