    Dear Friends and Followers!
    What is that barking sound coming from below the cabin floor as soon as we reach the gate position? Have you ever wondered what is going on in the cargo compartment where this very strange noise is coming from. Many people refer to this as the "Airbus Barking Dog Sound".
    This strange barking sound emits from the PTU, the Power Transfer Unit which is a substantial part of the Airbus hydraulic system. I explain in further detail when the PTU is being operated and it´s purpose.
    Now the Airbus A320 hydraulics consist of three independent system, named in colours, green, blue and yellow and one of their highest priorities is to pressure the actuators to move the flight controls.
    the green system is powered by an engine driven hydraulic pump, engine number 1, so in flying direction the engine to your left hand side and the yellow system is powered by engine number 2 but can also be powered by an electric backup pump.
    The blue system is powered by an electric pump only but isn´t associated with the PTU. It does, however, have its own unique backup mechanism, the Ram Air Turbine, but that´s a whole another video.
    So imagine the PTU as a reversible motor pump located between the green and yellow systems. Hydraulic fluid from either system can drive the pump to pressurise the other hydraulic system. But the fluids only drive the pump so the remain isolated from each other, meaning they don´t mix
    Each hydraulic system normally operates at 3000psi and if the difference between the green and yellow system exceeds 500psi, the system energises the PTU to pressurise the low system. In other words, the green or yellow hydraulic pump has failed and is being pressurised from the other system through the PTU.
    What the video for more information :)
    Thanks for your time and see you next thursday. Make sure to stop by my Instagram account at "flywithcaptainjoe" and subscribe my channel for more upcoming video.
    All the best, Your "Captain" Joe
    ONE MISTAKE IN VIDEO, you preferably start engine number 2 first and then engine number 1, in that sequence! Sorry about that !

    the sound always sounded purely mechanical, and I always love hearing all the mechanical sounds because it reminds me that I am not in a tin can with a rocket strapped to it, I am in a very complex engineered machine that has been deeply studied!
    I usually thought the sound was from reverting the flaps to normal position from extended, though there are many sounds so that could be one of them

      My relative used to work as a software engineer for Airbus. It amazed me how complex just the communication software on the aircraft is. There are many modes of communication, and each one has different priority based on how critical the communication is. Each piece of software goes through severe scrutiny before even being greenlighted for an on-ground test with an aircraft. And even more for in-air testing.

      G'day Joe!
      A couple of years ago i was lucky enough to spend some time in a 747 simulator at qantas with an A380 instructor pilot. I was amazed to learn that even the 747 had so much control authority built into it that we were able to power down both engines on one side and still stay straight and level.
      I know you must have quite a list of requests, but how about one on the impressive safety considerations/design aspects built into modern airliners.
      Keep up the great work.

    these videos are great. I honestly got a bit anxious when hearing things like this, and the sound of the landing gear extending/retracting, thinking we had a hull breach. As they say, knowledge is power. it genuinely helps with flight anxiety if you know what most of sounds are, and what's causing them.

  • @RafaLepo1996
    @RafaLepo1996 4 роки тому

    You know what's funny? I saw this video one year ago when I was a driver on an airport, only for general aviation. Now I work at the same airport but as a Marshall and ramp operator. Today a LAN a320 arrived, and while I was setting the chocks on the right hand side of the plane I could clearly hear the PTU operating. I didn't remember what it was, but I did know I had seen a video in this channel about that particular sound. Came back to refresh my memory!!! Thanks captain Joe!

      jaymuller pretty sure that the pilot has foot pedals that move the rudder or the forwards gear module. This is how the aircraft would turn on the ground. While the aircraft is leaving the gate, there is a push vehicle that will push the plane back and steer towards the assigned taxiway. Hope this helped!

      Airbus A320 unofficial QRH procedure to reduce annoying barking:
      First check if there is PTU running. If it is start the second engine to get rid of it.
      Then check if dogs are onboard. If they are simply use cargo hold extinguishers to get rid of them :-P
      If they are still alive use manual pressurization to dump pressure and now you will really get rid of them!

      One some AC they can, one other they can't. AFAIK on 747 you can start 2 engines simultanously. It's mostly about APU (how much bleed it gives) and starter bleed air demand. APU provides bleed air for engine starters. Sometimes APU bleed is not enough powerfull to start both engines.

    • @dxb8086
      @dxb8086 7 років тому +2

      @Ishan N
      Wrong. There is no PTU functioning issue here. The PTU does only a self-test between Eng2 and Eng1-start to check the 500 psi green/yellow hydraulics pressure differential logic.
      This is confirmed also under the section of Suppl. techniques FCOM 3, one engine taxi, where you must start and taxi on Eng1, to power the normal brakes and Nose Wheel Steering, without powering the PTU, and FCOM 1 under HYD, then PTU, as well.

    • @Kaakao
      @Kaakao 7 років тому +16

      Not enough bleed air pressure coming from the APU to spin up both engines at the same time. The Boeing 747 can start 2 of it's 4 engines at the same time.

    Hey joe i have a question, what do pilots do if both engines fail mid-flight?

    • @EdPMur
      @EdPMur 5 років тому

      It would depends on why the engines shut down. But the APU can start the engines.

    • @aneeshsankruth9115
      @aneeshsankruth9115 5 років тому

      There are tons of different procedures specific for different scenarios of engine failure. Modern engines are typically equipped with an autostart system that tries to start the engine back up from the bleed air from the other engine if it fails. If that fails the pilots will try to restart the engines from the bleed air from the apu, provided there is still fuel. But if both engines fail and there is still fuel, then the apu can power all of the aircraft's flight controls so that it can be safely landed with no problems, provided there is still enough altitude to coast down to the nearest airport. But if they run out of fuel in mid air there is something called as the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) that can be deployed, which looks like a small propeller, that spins up and powers the most important flight controls to help coast the aircraft down to the nearest airport.

    • @TheOne-ps1hv

    • @Aeronaut1975
      @Aeronaut1975 7 років тому +3

      Taxiways are each given a letter of the alphabet, and gates have numbers on them, the flight crews also have a map on their charts (or built into the displays on modern aircraft) so a typical ATC instruction might be "Speedbird One, exit runway at Intersection Kilo, procceed to gate 34 via taxiway Golf, Juliet, Lima". That's just an example that I made up, but it gives you the gist.

      Don't want to advertise for a certain airline here, but there is one, where pilot's comm systems and passenger entertainment are _united_ *cough, cough* ;-). While on the ground you can hear pilots and ground controllers talk to each other. I really wonder how it is possible to memorize the routes they tell the pilots so fast. :D
      I listended to it for a while in Frankfurt, and especially Lufthansa pilots get "multilingual communication" with German greetings mixed in. That sounds very funny...

The more I realize HOW much a pilot knows,/needs to know/needs to have instant knowledge available of/ be capable of,....

      They're o2 masks and yes they do have them installed in the lavs at least for the company i work for (united) after 9/11 they actually had them removed due to the threat of passengers opening the psu's and using them as a fuel for explosives since they were the old style o2 generators that produced heat. But we had a mod done that reinstalled a new style that doesnt get heat up and now all of uniteds fleet has o2 masks in all of there lavs.

    Joe, great videos! When I boarded my flights over the past few days (A320 & A319), I noticed as we were walking up the stairs to board the plane a "clack, clack, clack, clack" sort of sound - seemed to be coming from the No.1 engine. The noise was very audible, and I'd say roughly happened about 5x a second. Do you know what this noise is? Thanks

    • @railotaku
      @railotaku 7 років тому +7

      The blades have a bit of movement to allow for temperature expansion/contraction etc and as the engine windmills (engine is off but the wind is turning the blades) them they rattle a bit.

      Certain engines (like the CFM56 on Easyjet A319's) have 'Clappers' which are little stubs attached roughly halfway along the fans blade length it allows the blades to 'lock' in position when the engine is running at speed. Something to do with narrow chord blades fluttering. When the engine is idling they loosen off.

    • @madjoemak
      @madjoemak 7 років тому

      Jamie Tube the flaps change the shape of the wing to give it more lift so the plane can fly slower. At high speeds you want leds lift or else the plane would go too high and maybe go vertical upward

    • @JJ37_
      @JJ37_ 7 років тому +1

      Mad Joe Mak no partially wrong, it causes more lift for the airplane during low speeds when approaching the airport. And this is very important.

    • @steeltrap3800
      @steeltrap3800 7 років тому +4

      Ah, no, the flaps provide more lift at a given speed so you can fly more slowly, not more quickly. The rest of your comment is rather nonsensical, lol.

    None of what Captain Joe is saying is true.
    Actually, there is a real dog barking on every Airbus machine sitting together with the pilot inside the cockpit while flying : the pilot feeding the dog and the dog barking if the pilot attempts to touch any control.
    This is exactly what journalists wrote in the 80's when the Scarebus A320 came out with its lousy Die-By-Wire-Non-Coordinated-Sidesticks-Computers-Having-Priority-Over-Pilots-And-That-Cannot-Be-Overriden-Even-If-Bugging technology. They also wrote that Airbus could be flown by monkeys.
    Bernard Ziegler, the man behind that technology - an also a criminal that should have been thrown in jail in the 60's for buzzing a French ski resort and knocking down a cable car and killing its occupants - is known for his stupid sayings :
    - "Airbus' brain replaces pilots' one"
    - "Even my concierge could fly the Airbus"
    - "Airbus computers fix pilot errors"
    - "As well as taxi drivers are not required to know what is under his engine hood, a pilot is not required to know what is on his Airbus"
