Everything seems so easy!!!! The truth is that all the procedures and the professionalism of the pilots make a complicated task become something simple. Thank you, once again, for being able to fly in a cabin with you. Fantastic approach
Thanks for watching and for sharing your great feedback! You are very right: It all looks easy, but it is the result of good and extensive training and experience.
As others have said, great quality production yet again. I can honestly say that from my perspective they never get boring, especially with the mix of full flights and shorter departure/arrival videos.
Great to hear! Thanks a lot for your good and helpful comment! Also thank you very much for your financial support of the channel as a member! This helps a lot to keep the channel alive!
These are always so interesting to watch. On some the mic is just right that you can hear someone breathing. During cruse and most of decent, the breathing is slow, then a little before the approach phase starts the breathing picks up a little, and by the time you're on glide slope the breathing is much faster. Brain is working hard and needs all that oxygen. Midway through taxi the breathing is back to a lower rate. Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your analysis of our breathing! This is very interesting and makes sense to me! We did not have our microphone wind protectors, which we normally use, available during this flight. This is the reason why you hear the breathing. I thought that it is a litte bit disturbing. But if I read your comment, it may be more interesting than disturbing. Thanks again for your comment and have a great day!
I love you guys so much, you have no idea how long I searched for a channel like this and since I found it, I've been binge-watching it like crazy, I can't even sleep without your videos playing on my tv❤
Thanks a lot for watching and your kind words! It's great to hear that you like our videos! Also, thank you very much for your financial support of the channel as a member! Have a nice day!
Thanks for your good feedback! The weather reports were really bad, showing variable and very gusty winds. During our approach, the wind improved significantly. So, we could reduce our add-on to the approach speed and plan for a "normal" landing.
Danke für dieses Barcelona-Video! Hatte ich mir irgendwann mal hier in einem Kommentar gewünscht. Ob es nun deswegen kam oder sowieso gekommen wäre, ist egal, toller Anflug, tolles Video. Bin selbst schon häufig diesen Anflug geflogen (als Passagier), meist landet man dort ja in dieser Richtung und nur seltener (hatte ich einmal dort) von der Landseite. Weiter so, freue mich auf weitere Anflug- oder Abflug- oder Full-Flight-Videos.
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Meine Erfahrung ist, dass man meist auf der 24R, landet. Ab und zu auch mal in Gegenrichtung und ganz selten auf der Querbahn. Einen schönen Tag noch!
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und das gute Feedback! Bitte allen vom Video und dem Kanal erzählen! Vielen Dank vorab für die Unterstützung! Einen schönen Tag noch!
Thanks for your good feedback and your financial support of the channel as a member! I wish you all the best for your career as a pilot, and I hope to see you soon in the cockpit!
Once again an interesting and well-made video. It's very rare to get this close in regular operations, and it's always a pleasure to watch you and your colleagues fly. Please never stop making these amazing videos. Even though I've seen the procedures a hundred times, they never get boring. Greetings from Cologne!
Thank you so much for your great feedback and for your financial support of the channel as a member! Without the financial support from the channel members, those videos would be impossible! Have a wonderful day!
From my ignorance, I amb always surprised that constant talking from radio is not a distraction for the pilots, even they are at the same time talking to each and doing other about vital things.
It is just a matter of training. We have to listen to the ATC frequency all the time. They may have a message or instruction for us. Also, we listen to ATC to get a good picture what happens around us. This is especially important during the approach, the departure and on the ground.
Eine der wenigen Landungen bei denen Sie nicht die rechte Armlehne umgreifen 😄 Bei der butterweichen Landung aber auch kein Wunder. Vielen Dank für das neue Video! 😊
As always, we can only say thank you for such an amazing video. The quality, all the information you share with us, it’s just amazing. As a person who loves planes, this is just the best content in UA-cam. Thanks captain! Gratings from Spain!
Thank you very much for watching and your great feedback! It's good to hear that you like the channel! Please help me and tell everybody about the videos and the channel! Thank you very much in advance for your support! Have a nice day!
Such a great video and what mazing captain! great landing from the first officer too. The video of you showing the outside of the plane was icing on he cake for me.
Hi Stefan Paul from Kent another great 🎉flight love your comment at the end giving lovely feedback to the first officer - he was very good a captain in the future !!! Anyway keep up the great work your doing on the channel .
I love watching these videos! By coincidence I'm heading on a flight to Barcelona in just over a week. Hoping we fly over the city on the eastern side like this approach. Very smooth along the glideslope and landing by the FO!
Great video again Stefan! The quality is phenomenal especially now with the mcdu cam aswell and the outside video. Approach very well executed by the first officer and a very good landing! I heard other aircraft report turbulence before (in french) and was wondering if you had any encounters with turbulence on this flight (except for the gusting and variable winds)? Greetings from brussels! I am looking forward to the next video!
Thanks for watching and your great feedback! I do not remember if it was turbulent during our flight. I only remember that the weather reports for Barcelona were not really good. They improved a lot during our descent. Originally, the reports showed very gusty and variable winds. Greetings to Brussels!
Fantastic video. at the beginning of descent it was in DES mode then the FO changed it to OP DES .did it make any difference because speed and VS stayed the same.Thank you
Thanks for watching and your financial support of the channel as a member! The OP DES mode provides a descent with idle power and does not follow the precalculated vertical path. The DES mode tries to follow the precalculated vertical path and reduces the descent rate and adds thrust if needed. I assume that he thought that the total remaining flight distance would be shorter than the distance along the full entered approach routing. So the OP DES was the better choice.
Danke für die fantastischen Video, Captain! This is an airport I have flown into several times as a passenger so it’s very much appreciated to get the view from the flight deck! I was wondering if you could explain a little about the VLS check? It seems like on most flights (though not this one) you usually add a knot or two for the landings - is this just down to personal preference or to counteract any potential gusts or the like? Habt ein tolles Wochenende, danke!
Thanks a lot for your good feedback and for your financial support of the channel as a member! For the VLS check, we compare the VLS on the PFD with the VLS on the MCDU PERF APPR page. If the VLS on the PFD is higher, we add the difference to the approach speed in the MCDU. During gusty conditions, Airbus allows us to increase the approach speed up to VLS plus 15 knots.
In another video, could you show the Upper ECAM display? I'm very interested to see how the thrust interacts with the different autoflight/autothrust modes Fantastic videos as always! Many thanks!
Thanks for watching and your question! Right now, it is not possible to show the upper ECAM display. It is recorded, but due to reflections it is not readable. I am still searching for a camera location which gives me a better picture. But this is very difficult because the locations which do not interfere with the flight operations are limited in the cockpit. I hope to find a solution, but it may take time. The interaction with the thrust modes are also visible somehow in the FMA display. For example: If it shows SPEED or MACH, the thrust is variable up to climb thrust. If it shows THRUST IDLE, the thrust is at idle ..... TOGA or FLEX means thrust at TOGA or Flex .... CLB or OP CLIMB means climb thrust. OP DES means idle thrust ..... Please stay tuned!
Thanks a lot for your videos! I have some questions please, do you make the flight plan like route waypoints and fuel calculation before departure by yourself or is some other engineers who makes it and you just insert it at mcdu ? and what program do pilots use in general for charts ?
Thanks for watching and for your questions! The company uses a highly sophisticated flight planning program. This is provided by Lufthansa Systems and flight dispatchers in the operation control center oversee the work of the program. The system compares different routings, knows the wind forecast for different altitudes and restrictions of airways or airspaces it also knows the weather forecasts which are required to find useable alternate airports and for the calculation of the most likely departure and arrival routing. And runways in use. At the end, after finding the best routing, the flightplan will be filed with ATC and the fuel planning calculated for us. As long as we have a wireless ACARS data communication connection at the airport, we can upload the flightplan directly into the flight managment system via the MCDU. We use LIDO mPilot for our charts. This program is also provided by Lufthansa Systems.
@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you very much for your detailed answer! I am very happy to see your next video, I like full videos and Vor approaches and when you explain it in details it makes much easier to understand. Wish you a good day!
As usual, very high quality and informative video, thank you so much for your dedication and time to show us what’s happening “behind the door”! I would like to ask this opportunity to ask some questions. You very often talk about adding a few knots on Vapp. In this video, it was initially 10 knots, then you went with 2 knots. Why do you need to add speed on top of Vapp (or little more precisely VLS+5 knots), what’s the goal that you want to achieve by doing this, and how do you decide how many knots to add? Finally, what’s the maximum number of knots that you can add? Hope this is not too many questions. Thank you once again, and have many safe flights!
Thank you very much for your financial support of the channel as a member! The first weather reports which we got from Barcelona were not really good. They showed very variable and gusting winds. This was the reason for the original speed increment. During the approach, the weather improved a lot. So, we removed the increment. We can fly with up to VLS plus 15 knots. During the vls check, we compare the vls on the pfd with the vls on the MCDU. If the pfd VLS is higher, we add the difference to the approach speed.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos I very appreciate your time to go through and answer questions, thank you very much! If I may add one more question very quickly. How bad gusting and variable winds have to be to require increasing the speed? Thank you very much again!
@@xmudrii We add speed for example if we expect downdrafts on short final. For other expected wind changes, It is important from which direction the wind is coming. If it is a changing headwind, we do not need do much about the approach speed because the groundspeed mini function will do this for us. If the wind is more like a very variable crosswind, the groundspeed mini does not help and a speed increment may be needed. There are no predefined values for this.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos This is such a very detailed response, thank you very much, Captain, I truly appreciate your time!! Now it makes a lot of sense! Thank you again, and have many safe flights!
Another great start to a Saturday morning Just wondering, why do you set altimeters to local qnh when you get the clearance to descend rather than when passing the transition level? I get that it is a good reminder to do it and gets the approach checklist out of the way, but I would have though if you have to stop descent you have to reset your altimeters.
Thanks for your good feedback! The altimeter setting during the descent is done like this to confirm that we have set the correct QNH value. ATC is telling us the QNH together with an altitude. We also compare the QNH value from ATC with the QNH from the ATIS. If ATC tells us to level off before reaching the altitude, they may tell us to level off at a certain flight level. Flight level means standard altimeter setting for us. So, we would then reset the altimeter to standard, which is 1013.2 hpa or 29.92 inches. An ATC introduced stop in the descent is a rare event.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your comment! Years ago, before 9/11, we had passengers all the time in the cockpit, even during takeoff and landing. As everybody knows, it is not possible anymore due to security regulations. One reason for me making the videos is that I still want to give the passengers the chance to see what we do.
Hallo :) Werden die Räder des Fahrwerks vor der Landung eigentlich technisch schon vor dem Touchdown in Drehung versetzt um den Abrieb zu minimieren? Vielen Dank natürlich wieder für den wunderschönen Anflug in Barcelona, viele Grüße aus dem schönen Aschaffenburg und natürlich happy landings :)
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Nein, es gibt keinen Antrieb der Räder. Man hat das mit der Beschleunigung der Räder vor der Landung wohl mal überlegt. Das wurde dann wieder verworfen, da es zu aufwendig und teuer würde. Viele Grüße nach Aschaffenburg!
I am sorry about that! We are always adjusting the ATC audio level in the cockpit. Sometimes, it works better than other times. The audio is the original audio from the cockpit. I am not able to adjust the level of the different audio sources in the post-production.
Thanks for watching and for your financial support of the channel as a member. Yes, originally, Barcelona reported very gusty and variable winds. This was the reason for flaps 3.
Starting the APU is part of the after landing flow pattern. In the flow pattern, the exact wording is: APU....AS REQUIRED. We usually delay it a little bit because we have to have a 3 minute cooldown period for the engines. Ideally, the APU is ready to be used 3 minutes after landing.
Thanks! This is the original audio from the cockpit. Sometimes it is difficult to find the perfect balance between the pilots communication and ATC. I will try to improve this in future videos. Have a nice day!
Müsst ihr zwei eigentlich im Cockpit Englisch reden oder könnt ihr deutsch reden weil ich habe an einer Stelle Minute 28:33 gesehen, dass sie auch deutsch miteinander geredet habt
Wir dürfen Englisch oder Deutsch sprechen. Allerdings sind alle Handbücher, Arbeitsanweisungen, Callouts u.s.w. in Englisch abgefasst. Das trifft natürlich auch auf die Kommunikation mit den Lotsen überall und mit unseren Abfertigungsmitarbeitern im nicht deutschsprachigen Raum zu.
die display's sind nicht vollständig entspiegelt könnte airbus mal weiterentwickeln irgendwie sehen die scheiben auch aus wie in den 70'er nunja bis heute werden elektrische tönungen vom flugamt nicht zugelassen oder wollen piloten.-/innen sowas nicht ?
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und den Kommentar! Das finde ich auch: Die Displays könnten erheblich besser entspiegelt sein. Ich bin zwar kein Freund von Boeing 737-Flugzeugen, aber dort sind die Displays größer, zeigen sogar einen vertikalen Pfad an und reflektieren nicht oder nur sehr wenig. Die Airbus-Anzeigen sind im Laufe der Jahre besser geworden. Ursprünglich waren es Anzeigen, die wie unsere alten Fernseh-Bildschirme arbeiten. Was anderes gab es damals nicht. Wir haben auch noch einige Flieger davon. Die neuen Flugzeuge sind mit modernen LED-Bildschirmen ausgestattet. Das erhöht die Auflösung und erleichtert die Ablesbarkeit. Was die Reflektionen betrifft, gibt es allerdings noch Verbesserungsbedarf.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos gerne schaue ich , da zwischen den luft.-/landfahrzeugen die technik "hin&her" verbaut wird merkwürdig finde ich die anforderungen die für berufe gestellt werden aber der stand der technik nicht dem "jahrzehnte bekannten" wissen entspricht - boeing 🤦 die können sich nicht entscheiden z.b. temperatur in celsius aber druck psi (fluggeräte mechaniker in florida video's)
Normalerweise kommen alle Anweisungen in Englisch. Darüber hinaus wird auch schonmal in der Landessprache gesprochen. Bei Sichtflügen mit kleinen Fligzeugen kann sowieso immer in der Landessprache gesprochen werden. Was Spanisch angeht, dürfen wohl spanische Lotsen immer Spanisch mit spanischen Piloten sprechen, da Spanisch, genau wie Englisch, eine offizielle ICAO Sprache ist.
hellooo :) I read around that a passenger can assist the take-off in the cockpit, is this true? because I read that it is absolutely forbidden, but I also read of people who sat in the cockpit during takeoff or landing
Years ago, it was normal that “regular” passengers visited the cockpit during the flight. Also during takeoff and landing. Due to the known security reaseons, this is not possible anymore.

In another video, could you show the Upper ECAM display? I'm very interested to see how the thrust interacts with the different autoflight/autothrust modes
Fantastic videos as always! Many thanks!
Thanks for watching and your question! Right now, it is not possible to show the upper ECAM display. It is recorded, but due to reflections it is not readable. I am still searching for a camera location which gives me a better picture. But this is very difficult because the locations which do not interfere with the flight operations are limited in the cockpit. I hope to find a solution, but it may take time.
The interaction with the thrust modes are also visible somehow in the FMA display. For example: If it shows SPEED or MACH, the thrust is variable up to climb thrust. If it shows THRUST IDLE, the thrust is at idle ..... TOGA or FLEX means thrust at TOGA or Flex .... CLB or OP CLIMB means climb thrust. OP DES means idle thrust .....
Please stay tuned!

I landed so many times in Barcelona but never from this perspective. I wish passengers could see everything that's happening in the cockpit
Thanks for watching and for sharing your comment! Years ago, before 9/11, we had passengers all the time in the cockpit, even during takeoff and landing. As everybody knows, it is not possible anymore due to security regulations. One reason for me making the videos is that I still want to give the passengers the chance to see what we do.
Those green/amber taxi lights look funky. Is that an airport special?
In accordance to my understanding, the taxi lights at Barcelona airport are in accordance to the normal ICAO airport standard.
Hallo :) Werden die Räder des Fahrwerks vor der Landung eigentlich technisch schon vor dem Touchdown in Drehung versetzt um den Abrieb zu minimieren? Vielen Dank natürlich wieder für den wunderschönen Anflug in Barcelona, viele Grüße aus dem schönen Aschaffenburg und natürlich happy landings :)
Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Nein, es gibt keinen Antrieb der Räder. Man hat das mit der Beschleunigung der Räder vor der Landung wohl mal überlegt. Das wurde dann wieder verworfen, da es zu aufwendig und teuer würde. Viele Grüße nach Aschaffenburg!
Nice video but it is hard to hear what your say as the ATC sound is so loud!
I am sorry about that! We are always adjusting the ATC audio level in the cockpit. Sometimes, it works better than other times. The audio is the original audio from the cockpit. I am not able to adjust the level of the different audio sources in the post-production.
Was the weather situation unpredictable wind/ gusting wind in the early part of the approach that you were going to do flaps 3?
Thanks for watching and for your financial support of the channel as a member. Yes, originally, Barcelona reported very gusty and variable winds. This was the reason for flaps 3.
Hi. After you land. When do you start the APU and is it part of any checklist before the engine shut down? Thanks
Starting the APU is part of the after landing flow pattern. In the flow pattern, the exact wording is: APU....AS REQUIRED. We usually delay it a little bit because we have to have a 3 minute cooldown period for the engines. Ideally, the APU is ready to be used 3 minutes after landing.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thanks! Is it something you check that is running before engine shut down?
@@doryovel213 Yes, we check it. If we would not check it and switch off both engines, we would be sitting in the dark.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Thank you!
I love this sfo! i always think he is british but when i hear him say numbers he sounds very german haha
I agree. If he speaks German, it sounds like his native language. But the same is true if he speaks English.
great video as ever Capt, a real shame ATC is soooo loud. Can't really hear you pilots very well which is a shame.
Thanks! This is the original audio from the cockpit. Sometimes it is difficult to find the perfect balance between the pilots communication and ATC. I will try to improve this in future videos. Have a nice day!
und jedes video einfach der beweis dass die erde nicht flach ist :D
Im Video liegt es glaube ich eher an der Linse der Kamera.
Müsst ihr zwei eigentlich im Cockpit Englisch reden oder könnt ihr deutsch reden weil ich habe an einer Stelle Minute 28:33 gesehen, dass sie auch deutsch miteinander geredet habt
Wir dürfen Englisch oder Deutsch sprechen. Allerdings sind alle Handbücher, Arbeitsanweisungen, Callouts u.s.w. in Englisch abgefasst. Das trifft natürlich auch auf die Kommunikation mit den Lotsen überall und mit unseren Abfertigungsmitarbeitern im nicht deutschsprachigen Raum zu.
fab
Thanks for watching!
yo trabajo en groundforce😉😂👍
Thanks for your hard work! Many greetings to Spain!
At the min 32.54 the pronunciation is fully Italian from the Ryanair 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and for sharing your observation!
die display's sind nicht vollständig entspiegelt könnte airbus mal weiterentwickeln irgendwie sehen die scheiben auch aus wie in den 70'er nunja bis heute
werden elektrische tönungen vom flugamt nicht zugelassen oder wollen piloten.-/innen sowas nicht ?
Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen und den Kommentar! Das finde ich auch: Die Displays könnten erheblich besser entspiegelt sein. Ich bin zwar kein Freund von Boeing 737-Flugzeugen, aber dort sind die Displays größer, zeigen sogar einen vertikalen Pfad an und reflektieren nicht oder nur sehr wenig. Die Airbus-Anzeigen sind im Laufe der Jahre besser geworden. Ursprünglich waren es Anzeigen, die wie unsere alten Fernseh-Bildschirme arbeiten. Was anderes gab es damals nicht. Wir haben auch noch einige Flieger davon. Die neuen Flugzeuge sind mit modernen LED-Bildschirmen ausgestattet. Das erhöht die Auflösung und erleichtert die Ablesbarkeit. Was die Reflektionen betrifft, gibt es allerdings noch Verbesserungsbedarf.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos gerne schaue ich , da zwischen den luft.-/landfahrzeugen die technik "hin&her" verbaut wird
merkwürdig finde ich die anforderungen die für berufe gestellt werden aber der stand der technik nicht dem "jahrzehnte bekannten" wissen entspricht
- boeing 🤦 die können sich nicht entscheiden z.b. temperatur in celsius aber druck psi (fluggeräte mechaniker in florida video's)
please increase the height indicator
What? 😂
I do not understand your request. Can you please specify a little more detailed what your request is?
Ist das eigentlich normal, dass die Controller so oft in Landessprache kommunizieren? Ich dachte die sprechen immer Englisch.
Normalerweise kommen alle Anweisungen in Englisch. Darüber hinaus wird auch schonmal in der Landessprache gesprochen. Bei Sichtflügen mit kleinen Fligzeugen kann sowieso immer in der Landessprache gesprochen werden. Was Spanisch angeht, dürfen wohl spanische Lotsen immer Spanisch mit spanischen Piloten sprechen, da Spanisch, genau wie Englisch, eine offizielle ICAO Sprache ist.
Hi I sent you a email, was wondering did you see it
Thanks for your financial support of the channel as a member! What was the topic of the email?
hellooo :) I read around that a passenger can assist the take-off in the cockpit, is this true? because I read that it is absolutely forbidden, but I also read of people who sat in the cockpit during takeoff or landing
Years ago, it was normal that “regular” passengers visited the cockpit during the flight. Also during takeoff and landing. Due to the known security reaseons, this is not possible anymore.
