Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel, today´s video will all be about the Airbus A320 Fire Protection System.
The aircraft fire protection system consists of a fire and overheat detection and extinguishing system for both engines and the APU. Besides that, there is a smoke detection and extinguishing system in the cargo compartments and lavatories. Plus, smoke detectors in the avionic bay,
and portable fire extinguisher for the cockpit and cabin crew.
Each engine has two extinguisher bottles which electrically operated squibs to discharge their contents so those the APU, except it only has one fire extinguisher bottle. And the pilots control and discharge both systems via the Engine and APU Fire Panel on the overhead panel.
So both systems have a fire and overheat detection system consisting of:
-Two identical fire detection loops (A and B) mounted in parallel
-And a Fire Detection Unit (FDU)
The loops consist of three to four sensing elements for each engine, one in the pylon nacelle, one in the engine core and one in the fan section, and one independant sensing unit in the APU compartment.
So when is the fire warning triggered?
See more in the video !!!
Big thank you to TFC-Käufer for making this video possible and providing me with their huge range of various flight simulators. Their flight training centre in Essen/Germany is the home of many flight simulators including 2 full flight A320´s in which I have my check-flights every 6 months.
Besides the simulator training, TFC Käufer is Germanys leading flight school, offering a range of different training courses by using their privately owned aeroplanes. Make sure to check out their website to see for further details:

Captin Joe: Did you ever wake your sleeping pilot partner with the fire test button up?
Jens Meding hahaha. Not so bad! :)
Lol, that is cruel.
The worst, they would believe it's an actual fire. But honestly, if someone sleeps there they won't last much in air.
christianbro2 Pilots sometimes take control rest, look it up.
As funny as it sounds, do I not believe CJ has even done it, in case the other pilot instinctively tried to extinguish the fire, before propperly waking up and realising it was just a prank. (despite you needing to lift the cover, and push the fire button before the fire extinguisher button.)
Captain Joe, I have followed your UA-cam series for a very long time and seen/reviewed most of your clips. I am a Designated Mechanic Examiner (DME) in the United States and blog on a social media to aid mechanics in studying to take their FAA Airframe and Powerplant rating tests. I use your UA-cam clips to show the commercial side and how the systems work to supplement the trainee classroom knowledge. Really appreciate the detailed information as most of it is on the mechanics certification tests. Big pat on the back from us U.S mechanics.
another informative video. Thanks!
Video Spoiler: Lmao I thought this was some kind of alarm in my house at 2:01
Captin Joe, when you at max altitude how do you know when you need to start your decent for landing? Are you able to do a video on that plz?
Traxtortipper auto pilot or the cdu flight control computer together also air traffic contorl can see this.
Traxtortipper if you mean cruise altitude then you can follow atc instructions or rely on your flight plan.
It is called a Top of Decent and is calculated by the FMC (flight management computer) and shown on the Navigation Display (ND). this is represented by a white arrow straight at first and then slopes down in a zig zig pattern.
At this point the pilot should begin the decent from their cruise altitude.
Hope that helped :D
The flight computer or mcdu will calculate your top of decent or T/D so the pilot doesnt have to valculate it tye computee does everything
+Traxtortipper here is a rule of thumb for you: you will need approx 3 nm to descend 1000 ft, plus 1nm for each 10 knots you need to slow down. Thus, let's say you are flying at FL300 at 290 knots and you need to descend to sea level and slow down to 140 knots. Then you would need to descend 30,000 ft, that takes approx 90 nm, plus you need to slow down 150 knots, that takes another approx 15 nm. Thus you should start your descend around 105 nm (track miles) before your destination. Of course, this does not take wind effects into account, but it gives you a pretty good estimate.
I have to stop whatever I'm doing for a Captain Joe video! ☺️
Hey Joe,
thanks for a new interesting video!
At 4:55 why is there something blacked out?
I also wondering
I think he'll never tell us
Probably censoring
"Disch" For some reason
The APU SQUIB button is under the FIRE button not in the side... The ones you see on the side are for the engines
I’m assuming the DISCH light was on which it isn’t usually in a real life scenario like he is showing us
Why was the APU Squib button blacked out?
Cause he hasn’t activated the fire button for the apu
it was probably a mistake
The APU SQUIB is under the FIRE button. The buttons to the sides are for the engines
Guys he meant that it was blacked out by video editing etc, because you can see black even after a Captain Joe moved his hand over the button.
because the DISCH light is illuminated and probably he don't want to show it on the video to avoid confusion with the general viewers.
Hey captain Joe i got some questions for you.
1, How do pilots know what speed or altitude they are if their equipment is not working anymore and they won't go on for the entire flight?
2, When the fuel tanks break at 8000 (or higher) meters how do you know that and can you fix that in the air?
3, Do airplanes have a emergency fuel tank when they run out of fuel?
4, How do pilots communicate with military forces when they fly over their area?
5, Can you land a fully loaded boeing-747 with some wheels that won't deploy?
6, whant happens if the flaps are stuck when they are fully deployed?
I would love you to answer these questions if you have time for then
Cheers Jelle
Jelle Geisink 1. You have 3 redundant PFD Displays that indicate the Altitude and the speed
Jelle Geisink 2. The ECAM Display Shows that followed by the Emergency Checklist
3-its not a motorbike with a reserve on the tank valve. You out of gas you go down fast
Jelle Geisink 4- Radio, all civilian routes never cross military airspace, if so it is in a dire emergency to land safely or by loss of orientation which is hard considering the amount of technology in current planes
Jelle Geisink 5- The pilots would probably dump all fuel, dump in their pants and make it out safe if on a proper runway with emergency services already alerted. Planes are tough enough to belly land, once mind you..
Thank you so much Captain Joe! These videos help me so much, prior me becoming a pilot :)
Hey Captain, I think you skipped over the whole smoke detection system a bit lightly, id like to see how the pilot is made aware for smoke in the lavatory for example, as I figured thats the most common one
Thank you Captain Joe!
You explain everything so nicely. Actually before I saw your videos I was not interested so much in planes, but after seeing the first one I became hooked up to your channel a little bit.
I am still impressed how many things a pilot has to know and to think of!
Wow, that warning sound gives me instant anxiety and I've never heard it before.
This is also the ringing tone attached to my ex wife in my phone.
With computer wire systems, you young fellas sure have it easy in fire emergency systems. We strapped an airman under the wing by each engine with a fire extinguisher in my days, and he liked it 😀😀😀
In grad school, I took a course on User Interface design. It's always fascinating to see what choices they made when they designed the various systems on the plane.
Your videos are so well edited Joe, it really sets you apart from the other aviation channels. Awesome work!
Please record video about airplanes age - do we need to be afraid of flying 28 years old a320 (lufthansa)? You can also mention a to d-checks that are extending planes live :D
IT: Dont worry about Lufthansa! Lufthansa Technik is a pretty good maintenance company. In the last 30 years no Lufthansa aircraft crashed due to poor maintenance.
Aircraft could live on for many more years than 28! As long as good maintenance is performed you should be good to go.
No, you don't have to worry about it, and remeber, the "age" of an airplane is misured in "compression cycles (flights the plane has done)", not in years! :D (for example: a 28-year-old plane with 8000 cycles it's technically "newer" than a 14-year-old plane with 12000 cycles!).
IT o
great vid
Man Joe this is the most technical vid provided to date! ... Excellente!
hey..do u do giveaway contest
if yes, I would like to win an a380😂😂😂
Sandeep Moharana i want a 320
Sandeep Moharana a340
As an addon to a flight sim of your choice? Then that would probably be possible yes.
YESS!
...and we do NOT mean from Revell or so!
+Cadde If that addon is for the A380, I want to be in the contest. There is no single good one nor coming in the next years (probably decades away).
DEAR JOE THANKS FOR THESE LESSONS, IT MAKES ME MUCH PRIOR TO BECOMING A PILOT
so are we typecertified after he's done with all airbus320/21 videos?
saberline152 yeah you get a year contract with air berlin too
which is quite worthless right now since they are bankrupt :D
hey captain joe, i'm already an airbus320 captain but I still learn from your videos. goodjob!
I really enjoy those videos, especially when they get a bit more technical! Keep up the excellent work!
Yo Captain joe... Lots of love from INDIA
Why don't the brakes have a fire system as well. Ive seen some brakes overheat and catch fire.!
that's usually on the runway, fire crew are probably prepared, but that's still a very good idea
Brakes catching fire is almost exclusively due to excessive heat generated in the braking system (for example due to a rejected takeoff with no reversers available and the plane at maximum takeoff weight). It's not something that is likely to occur during flight. An extinguisher could put out the flames, however the enormous amount of heat still present in the braking system would cause the fire to reignite as soon as the extinguishing agent has been fully discharged. The amount of agent a plane would have to carry to succesfullly fight such a fire is impractical. Instead the plane, landing gear and tires are designed and tested to withstand such a fire for at least 5 minutes. Tires have special plugs that will vent the pressure before the tires blow due to the heat. Airpoirt firefighters can be expected to be on scene within those 5 minutes.
Wouldn't it add more weight to the undercarriage? Also, landing gear catching fire isn't as big a concern as, you know, an engine fire because you'll be safely on ground when brakes do overheat. I guess it might be cheaper to just replace the tires and brakes instead of adding those extra kilos.
They are tested to not catch fire for a specific time, so that the fire service has enough time to arrive in case there was maximum braking used. You can find some videos on UA-cam from brake tests if you search for it.
I know about brake fire supression. Those Composite brake plates get white hot without combusting/melting, truly amazing piece of material engineering.
What I was trying to say in my reply is that, possibly the cost of adding a new fire supression system is more than the cost of just replacing it which is why we don't find it in many airplanes today.
Great video, just curious why there is a black box at 4:57 Covering the agent button.
there is an amber "DISH" under the box which illuminates once the agent has discharged. So before pressing it the light should have been off.
Thanks for the video! As an avionics engineering enthousiast I bought a large part of an Airbus A340 overhead panel. It's nice to know how the system originally works. I want to build a (sort of) simulator so with this knowledge I can simulate the working. The bad thing is dat the 'fire buttons' have a huge amount of wires so a lot of reverse engineering is needed due to the lack of schematics...
I think there are only a few Channel in youtube with such a like/Dislike Proportion.
This says a lot of the quality of your content! Keep going!
Cptn Joe, Sir. I enjoy your videos immensely . Your presentations are wonderful. You seem like a fine, down-to-earth young man and I wish very best for you and yours. I was a part 135 Capt decades ago (lite recep twins.) Other things got in the way, now am old man who remembers and learns from your videos. The future is in good hands
Great video Joe! I don't fly the airbus but I definitely enjoyed learning the differences!
Aviator Inspirations well you should fly the airbus ,as they are the best, thanks....
This is one of the most technical videos by you Captain, as of yet. Nice one.
This video was very good. Useful to know that there are multiple systems to prevent damage and loss of lives from fire. Stay awesome Captain
Captain Joe ,Can you please explain to us how pilots use flaps during taxi,take off and landing?.I will be soo happy if you do a video about this subject 😃
I never thought aviation could be that interesting... I've been binging your videos recently and learned a lot. I wish you can make more time lapse video of your flights, they're nice and oddly soothing.
Question: What does it mean when pilot say they will make up time to catch up for a delayed take off? Aren't plane always going pretty much straight and as fast as they can except for take off and landing?
Thanks!!!
Well, very late answer...There are several ways how an aircraft can make up time during cruise. One is by getting a tailwind, in altitudes airliner normally fly you have sometimes quite strong and steady winds which you can use to get more groundspeed. About a year ago there was a case where a 747 had such a strong tailwind that it's relative groundspeed was actually super sonic, although the plane itself didn't flew through the air faster than normal.
Another way is to simply fly faster. Yes that's possible. Optimal cruise speed isn't the top speed of an airliner. Normally in cruise flight you fly with about 90% of it's maximum speed. So there's a bit of margin left.
Another way is to get a more direct route from ATC. Yes over the oceans airliners fly pretty much straight, but that's not always the case over land. Sometimes they have to fly around restricted airspaces or have to circle during approach.
Very nice explanation thank you Captain... Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks captain for finally using the simulation to show the working of the aircraft :D great video as always
Great video Captain Joe! It was great flying with you!
Captain Joe, gut gemacht! Deine Videos sind echt erste Klasse! Vielen Dank!
thank you so much captain Joe im very thankful to this video. i can now understanad 100% the manual with your video! im studying the A320 manual right now
Great videos Captain! My favourite channel on the Internet :D
the day is good again when you get home and see that ,Captain Joe` uploaded a new video!
Damn, this shit is complicated! I'm glad somebody invented all these systems to stay safe.
And, as always, you can perform a "touch & go" on me anytime, Capt. Joe!! ;-)
APU, FPS, too many acronyms! My respect for airline pilots just went up sixteen notches! Bravo for all you do...and I thought driving a car was hard. ;-)
Auxiliary power unit
MUCH clear than FCOM and CBT! THANKS JOE
Captain Joe, I really appreciate your work and really thank you for your inspiration in young people around who want to become pilots. I am one of them and witout you I would have changed my mind about that job. Thank you. Subscribed to your channel for more interisting videos like this!
Can the ground staff really hear warnings as they have ear plugs in?
You can hear it, the ground call is annoying and easily audible, as most headphones reduces the sound pressure leaving some sound to pas through.
Oh, they cannot. In the many many many hours of design of a plane no one thought the pilots have ear plugs. Not even the team making them.
You have to have some kind of the noise protection on pretty much all the time.Airport is very noisy environment.What about other aircraft taking off,or being pushed back and start the engines when you work next to them?And trust me some APU's are very noisy.
Professional ear protection systems are designed in a way to not just shut out all sound. They will dampen certain frequencies less, so people can still communicate (even if they need to shout) or hear warning sirens.
Being completely deafened in any kind of workplace is dangerous; our ears are the only 360° non-contact, fast-response sense we have.
Seems to me that none of you actually works on airport. All alarms are quite easy to hear even with ear protection ( and most ground handling employees wear headphones not ear plugs as those are impractical and less cost effective). Even when there is APU working or a plane is in push back phase. And we don't wear ear protection all the time. It's annoying as hell and is required only when engines are running. Any other use depends on given employee ( personally I hate Airbus hydraulic pumps and breaks ventilation systems as those are as loud as engines). And if you are not working in the rear part of a plane APU is not that loud.
Joe have you very been in an emergency on your plane, if so is there more than one, can you do a video on that please
I saw a video of yours in my recommend a few hours ago... I loved it since the first few seconds. After watching a few more videos I subscribed because you make great videos and you have the first channel I see witch gives information about airplanes. (Btw sorry for my English it is very bad. I hope IF you read it, you will understand my comment).
Hey joe I'm 15 and would like to know if there is any thing that I could do to get a good start on getting a pilot job ... u could my make a video on it :)
Check out Mentour Pilot's Channel. He has lots and lots of videos on that very question.
Relieved Gaming for the moment just concentrate on your studies specially maths and physics.
Save money.
Oscar Scheepstra hahaha good tip
Hello, Thomas from Argentina, same case as your's..
Congratulations Joey for reaching more than 200000 subscribers on UA-cam
Joe. Can you explain the Radio Panel in a Video?
Nice video. Joe is the best captain on UA-cam
I LOVE CAPTAIN JOE
Great video captain Joe I'm learning a lot from you I know a lot about planes and I have over 10 000 flying hours in flight sims and I love flying I always loved planes and next year I'm talking my first flying leassion for my 30th
I hope we'll not be necessary to use these things in real life 😉 Also great video Joe, I also learned some things I didn't make correct 😊 Cheers!
Great video! i've always wondered why the end of the wings flicks up, would love to see a video about it!
What you're describing is called a "winglet" or a "sharklet", and is used to reduce wingtip vortexes, which reduces drag, and in turn increases fuel efficiency.
gosh that fire signal scared little bit lol bcuz i was chill watching your ig hah
Keep 'em coming Joe. I really like your stuff.
Hi capt joe. Can you make a video explaining how to use takeoff and landing charts. Thank you
Great video - thanks. I love airplanes, I consider them to be the pinnacle of human achievement.
I have a question,
Why can't the pilot drop the oxygen masks, in case of fire, when smoke enters the cabin?
Jasper Stevens He cant because if the fire is on the cabin the same Mask's oxigen will make it grow. And because the masks are not full closed. The cabin smoke enters into the mixture of oxigen it the masks and anyway it's lethal
Tomas Natenzon But if the fire is not inside, But outside is it than the same explication?
The masks do not prevent smoke to enter your lungs. They simply provide oxygen.
If the masks were deployed during a cabin fire, they would accelerate the fire dramatically!
If there were a fire outside the cabin and smoke enters, it would not make sense to deploy the masks. The plane must be evacuated immediately in that case and if that is not possible you would have other, more serious problems then inhaling smoke.
Klappspaten thank you very much!
If the fire I'ts outside it's clear than the plane must land fast. I n the extreme case i'ts needed I think than they can deploy masks
You videos are really exiting and very informative. I am a big fan of airplanes and I want to be a aircraft engineer, so I keep watching your videos. Can you please make a video on the procedure take before take off and landings and safety precautions.
Exceptional. nothing more to say. thankyou
Hi, would you please make a video about lightning strikes, what do you do if lightning hits the plane.. On our last trip with Air Cairo the lightning hit the plane just after departure from ENGM, Oslo Airport, Norway. Huge insane bang and all the windows went comletely white.. But the captain did not say anything, while I was looking out the window for engine fire/bird strike etc before realizing it might have been an lightning strike.. But people was terrified..
easy explanation, your plane is basically a Faraday cage. the lighting just passes thru mostly unharmed most time, unless it's a really bad one, lighting strikes that bring a plane are damn rare... and therefore not one to be afraid of.
also, most pilots WILL navigate or be navigated away from such clouds, if in transit.
Thank you, I have studied the B733 and B737-7 for three years now and have 10 hours in the simulator, not so scared. But I guess I was more surprised and baffled of the loud bang than anything else. And curious to know what the procedurals are in such cases :)
I am pretty sure that the pilot should have said something, at least as common courtesy.
The best method is avoidance in the first place. There is no standard procedure, each Airline will have their own procedure but there is actually very little that can be done part from perhaps a visual inspection from inside the cabin of the visible surfaces such as the wings and also checking that it has not interfered with any of the electronic equipment or radios. If it was a powerful strike or multiple strikes the crew may consider diverting. Usually it is of no consequence but it will be reported and checked out by engineers before the aircraft next flies again. They do tend to leave pretty bad burn marks on the skin of the aircraft.
So many things can go wrong on a plane, so cool that everything works even after many years of service.
Hey really enjoy your videos. I have an idea for a video - Things you wish ATC's would know or understand about your operations or aircraft
Awesome and fantastic.. expecting more and more like this videos from you Captain!
Отличное видео, Джо. Спасибо за отличный канал!
Brilliant explanation joe!
Jo Amazing video thank you, happy flying my friend...... :)
Because of your videos my flight simulator sessions became very interesting. Thanks a lot Joe 😊👍👍👍👍
Can you explain ETOPS Please?
Wendover Productions has a very good video on it
Karl McCallum
Wendover has some very very good aviation videos!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS
Engines turn or passengers swim.
I explained it to you in 5 words
Thanks guys 😊
Thanks again captain joe
Nice video Joe!
Could you please do a video on how reverse thrust works?
I love your videos btw
Video is already out :) Check my channel or type in "Reverse thrust" in the search box. Enjoy! And there will be a updated version of that video soon!
OMG you actually reacted to my comment.
I love your videos.
A little much on the fire in the thumbnail lol. Still great video. Keep it up
Could you please do a video on what happens whenn a pilot declares an emergency
570 likes and only 1 dislike, wow that is an accomplishment for youtube
ThatkidCole 2k thumbs up and only 5 thumbs down as I watch.
IKR!
I'm surprised that there are only five trolls
Accepting the opinion of others must be a pain for you. That's just herd behavior.
Nipaporn P. Would you care to elaborate more?? I don't know what you are talking about..
can we see you fly the A320 in the simulator?
Essen is an AWESOME city - my lovely hometown.
Hi Joe, can you explaine to us how pilots see the ground speed during taxi to not exceed 30kt please ? :)
These videos are very helpful! Thank you.
Capt Joe, can you make a video about explanation about "Satcom"
Hai captain joe...
you are one of the luckiest person. You are enjoying the best view of nature. It was my dream to be a pilot. I dream them from my childhood. But, i am not that lucky like you. Anyway, best wishes for your upcoming life and flights......
@Captain Joe , can you do a video explaining how the crank engine start works, when it is used and its implications? Thanks!
Very interesting and good to know. Have a great day. Thanks
F I R S T ! Awesome video like always Captain Joe!
Why do you seem to upload relevant vids that I always wonder about? Some at a coincidental time. I'm a flight attendant and had a fire in the left engine on an Airbus last October! :O
Just woke up, and when Joe pushed the Fire button the first time, my eyes widen. For some reason I thought a missile Is going to be launched. lol
hello captain joe love your videos subscribed to your channel keep up the good work
Captain joe how do you make sure you stay on the taxi line and what speed do you taxi please make a video on this
Misha I know you want a video on it (would enjoy it myself), but here's an obligatory spoiler
1. If the pilots have adjusted their seats correctly (using the guide present on the centre frame line of the windshields), then keeping the head horizontal and straight ahead gives them a perspective that is almost the same as the plane's horizontal axis. Other than that it's just experience and visual cues, it's like asking a car driver how they keep their cars in the centre of the lane (which has an even greater offset than a cockpit seat's).
2. Taxi speeds do not exceed 25-30 knots, the average speed is 20 knots, 10 knots at turns (varies with aircraft type and weight).
Hi Joe
You have a typo in the title, "SYTEM".
Very well explained thanks 🙏 and keep up the good work
Captain joe, can you make a video about what departure and approach frequencies are for during your flight?
Hello Captain Joe!
What about a video explaining the throttle quadrant and its functions at the different phases of flight?
Thanks in advance
This Joe guy UA-cam is quite impressive!! I’d rather watch this rather the Ethos training
Hello joe! I would like to see a video about the IFR clearence, because i only understand the altitude x)
Greetings!
Captain You should record a full flight ( from check in to shut down ) I would love a day in a life of an airline pilot ( your version )
;)
You should define FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) for your viewers.
Nice one! But, Captain Joe, what if the fires come in the middle of the compartments? How do they shut off? Please, can you explain in the next video?
