@qwertyguy76 there is a small red push-button on the side stick, called "instinctive autopilot disconnection". As soon as that push button is pushed, both autopilots are disconnected. Autopilot is disconnected also when a certain force is applied on sidestick. This is only used when pilots need a quick take-over on the aircraft.
@1kleineMax18 There's an 'instinctive disconnect button' on each sidestick. The AP buttons on the FCU are never used for disconnecting because you'd always have your hand on the stick as you disconnect anyway.
@JetMechMA I can confirm, the only mechanical flight surface on A320 are THS and Rudder. They are normally operated in Fly-by-wire (so imput-computer-hyd actuators) but, in case of loss of every hyd system or every fly-by-wie computers, you can still control THS and rudder via pedals (rudder) and the rotating wheel that you can see in the video(THS). Two steel cables are connected from the controls to the flight surfaces.
@mikalization no, you got to move up revers levers and slide back pass idle. As well in full autoland (CAT III B) reverse procedure is NEVER automatic.
@djkarcel ground spoilers are automatically deployed as soon as the aircraft have got ground reference (this information is given by some proximity sensor located on the landing gear). Pilots just have to arm the system by pulling up the spoiler lever.
I've heard that the Trim is only set on airbuses on the Ground. When airborne and you raise your pitch to a certain attitude, for the holding properties of the plane, does the computer directly control the elevators or does it change the pitch settings to hold the aeroplane there?
@darkprince216 for sure they can...and they have to. Airbus philosoohy is to reduce as minimum as possible pilot's work during the flight but the crew must have the chance to overtake the systems anytime is required. sorry for my bad english :-)
@yahweh18 and what else you got to do after reduce the power? You've got to flare. I just meant they could use a different perhaps more clear on it's message.
One question to author. I was always wondering what this round black & white thing next to throttle do ? Is that thing kinda show is the landing gear spinning ? I just don't know to be honest ...
To the left and right of the throttle are two wheels with white stripes on them that spin when they touch the ground. What are they and what do they do?
@Maloy7800 He adjusted the range of his navigation display, only for convenience. In a critical phase of flight as landing a little thing like this isn't important, also only affects the first officer's ND.
Hmmm... at 0:52 the first officer turns some switch and I didn't hear him or the captain say anything. Isn't it the SAFETY rule to say what you're doing and for the other pilot to say "Check" to confirm he's seen it?
how do you put airbus in reverse, like in a Boeing for example 737 they have reverse levers on the throttles in airbus a320 a330 a340 etc do they just continue to slide the throttles back pass idle
@1VK3 Yes, I know what it means...what I meant is why the use of that word instead "Flare" for example witch in the end would be the same because when you flare you're supposed to reduce the throttle as well you pitch up to touch gently...both are correct in my opinion..my point is they could use another word to avoid that kind of "joke" if I can say. ;)
@luisitolindo there is no scientific evidence that electrical equipment interferes with systems on an aircraft, and also no evidence that mobile phones can cause fuel to ignite ( petrol filling stations ban on mobile phone use). The request to turn things off is purely based on theoretical studies that these devices COULD cause problems
There is no problem in preforming a Autoland. The plane can land by it self as good as the pilot. The only difference is when the weather is really bad - then plane must land by it self ;)

@rmachayes There are a spring that simulate aircraft feedback and change the force on the sidestick. Actually move the sidestick is never hard.
@qwertyguy76 usually amny autopilots have an engage/disengage button on the yoke or the control stick as well as on the panel.

Actually visual landing is operated whenever weather conditions permit, which is 90 percent of the time
@xsr8
Yeah normal if you are in VMC. But the AP seems to turn of without any action of the crew, or do they have a buttone on the stick?
One question to author. I was always wondering what this round black & white thing next to throttle do ? Is that thing kinda show is the landing gear spinning ? I just don't know to be honest ...

nice landig! I see a bit of crosswind from the left
this is the trin wheel... airbus does autotrim in normal law but you have to do manuell trim in alternate or direct law

what did the pilot press to disengage the A/P in the plane?, because i did not see him push the 2 front buttons.
I'm wondering what the fly-by-wire pilots think of this mode of control over stick inputs?
how do you put airbus in reverse, like in a Boeing for example 737 they have reverse levers on the throttles in airbus a320 a330 a340 etc do they just continue to slide the throttles back pass idle
@1kleineMax1 prob the pilot flying was a bit lazy and decide to switch if off then. Its really up to pilot discretion.
@1VK3 Yes, I know what it means...what I meant is why the use of that word instead "Flare" for example witch in the end would be the same because when you flare you're supposed to reduce the throttle as well you pitch up to touch gently...both are correct in my opinion..my point is they could use another word to avoid that kind of "joke" if I can say. ;)
so the pilot cannot re gain control if something where to go wrong????
Why did they turn off the autopilot before landing?
Can somebody explain why the AP switched of shortly above 500ft ( 2:50 ) ? So this is a manuel landing with no AP
what is the bip-bip-bip that you can ear at 2,55 (master caution?)? grazie x l'aiuto
@1kleineMax1 The pilot flying disconnected the autopilot to land it himself, same for almost every landing.
it´s the trim wheels that make balance on the plane
what airline is this?
@DirkMustard they have a sidestick
What is the aircraft?
@luisitolindo there is no scientific evidence that electrical equipment interferes with systems on an aircraft, and also no evidence that mobile phones can cause fuel to ignite ( petrol filling stations ban on mobile phone use). The request to turn things off is purely based on theoretical studies that these devices COULD cause problems
Yes they did.
@gh0stop It's the trim.

Great landing
3 red lights on the approach lights means they were coming in too steep until the end. should be two-white and two red.
@fawii anytime its available pilots use ILS autoland
No auto brake? Why?
nice aproach!
wizz non va a linate ma a bergamo
no spoiles ? o.O
the pilot didn´t used the spoilers
spectacular !!!!
that sound is the autopilot disconnect i think
@DirkMustard they use a stick ;)
It wasn't a hard landing at all but an example of what a bumpy runway is like...
yes, it is
why Auto landing?
The Airbus doesn't have any "shake stickers" like Boeing.
@handcuff308 nobody hates airbusses, it's just the american patriots.
@ddsurace hey youtube people, are you going to put the SAME COMMENT in every aribus video!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I fear turbolences...!!!
sara la wizz air
@ddsurace lol!
trim wheel
@ddsurace lol
this was not a hard landing at all...
hahahahaha, thats right!!!!
