www.balticaa.com/ Do you remember when in 2009 US airways had to conduct a ditching in the Hudson River near midtown Manhattan due to a flock of birds causing a loss of power to both engines? The aircraft reached a maximum altitude of about 3200 feet before it began to descend. After ditching, all five crew members and 150 passengers evacuated the aircraft. Pranas Drulis, ATPL Integrated student at Baltic Aviation Academy (Vilnius, Lithuania), tried to execute the same situation in Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator.

For those wondering, the DITCHING button closes the outflow valves, ram-air intake, avionics ventilation inlet, extract valves, and pack flow valves

so late, but thanks

Makes sense

@matt1544zxc3 7 лет назад

Good thing the water mark on the video says "Do Not Use - for training purposes only". I was going to go out a ditch an A320 in the ocean just to see if his procedures worked.

@aperson4075 7 лет назад

Matt Sullivan pfft, go try it

@bigred5287 6 лет назад

No I think it means “do not use this video for training purposes”...

@yannisl8259 4 года назад

i mean your name IS Sullivan

@09shadowjet 7 лет назад

He successfully ditched an A320 in a single pilot situation. He's a great pilot for sure.

I think he was flying what us pilots call a simulator, just basically mimics the real jet but not being the real jet. Edit- It was extremely realistic though.

It is interesting how this appears so nice and calm in a simulator. In a real world emergency ditching an airplane in a body of water would be a lot more tense and frightening.

@carlosspiceyweineify 11 лет назад

the seating is really the same around the world, captain on the left, first officer on the right, I have only heard of one case of it being the opposite way round and that's when one of my mates decided to relive his years as a first officer in the right hand seat, the crew will swap the piloting roll, i.e.. the captain may fly the aircraft whilst the first officer handles the configuration and radio operations plus any minor duties or it can be the other way round.

@carlosspiceyweineify 11 лет назад

its to provide back up electrical power to the basic instruments such as the PFD, MDF and ECAM displays. it will deploy automatically in the case of a dual engine failure such as the simulation shown in this video, think of it as an office desk fan on a pole that pops out of the fuselage near the main gear. if you cant imagine what that looks like than search ram air turbine test

@tonymind308 5 лет назад

If pranas was ditching my plane, i would be reading magazine with no seatbelt on :D

@Claudiomdf 7 лет назад

Hi, yesterday here in Madeira International Airport LPMA, a A321 from monarch, went diverted to PXO, Porto santo Airport due to flaps failure during approach, the plane as landed in PXO without flaps safely. Can you recreate a landing procedure without any flaps? Greetings from Madeira

Instructions unclear; got A320 stuck in a sand bank

@SOS91199 3 года назад

Very cool and calm young man, will be a great pilot fur sure!

@HBZERaviation 12 лет назад

Why you don't use the Engine manual start button on the overhead panel for restart the engines ? I'm not an expert but I saw this procedure one time.

@bct_planespotter5598 6 лет назад

Thats got the be the best pilot ive ever seen

@afffe4444 3 года назад

What impact has the Fkaps 3, the Galley and the RAM air, Button?

@ferchrissakes 11 лет назад

I'm not a pilot, but I think you're technically right. Maybe not right away, but when the engines don't relight, it's certainly an emergency, so saying that - or "mayday" - would probably be a good idea. Setting the transponder to 7700 (emergency code) would be good too. The guys who ditched in the Hudson did all of the above, but they were two people; Pranas here has no co-pilot to help out, so it's better for him to just focus on the flying.

@debug8377 Год назад

it has somehow became a habit of mine to watch how to do ditching on an a320 everytime during dinner

@carlosspiceyweineify 11 лет назад

well unless the simulator center flooded I don't think it would be necessary

@nidurnevets 11 лет назад

I think on the Cactus 1549 flight, the flight that ditched in the Hudson River, which was also an Airbus 320, the Capt. stayed with flaps 2. I was wondering why--- if I am correct in that statement. Thanks

@word20 11 лет назад

would you be able to make a video about cross wind landing with crabbing the plane?

@kjell-akeapell3285 Год назад

Thank,s God,the pilot survived !

@ZiggyMercury 5 лет назад

Yeah, I wouldn't say he tried to execute "the same situation". The engines in flight 1549 stopped working at 3,200 feet and the pilots had to maneuver above a highly-populated area. And, of course, the most important differences are that in the case of flight 1549 it wasn't planned and there were more than 150 lives who hung the balance. Still, I liked this video and the pilot's skills!

@pkevin13800 10 лет назад

Very nice video ! Does Prunas have forget to take a life vest before leaving the cockpit? :)

@tonymind308 5 лет назад

If you was pranas ditching airplane you would need to fuck off quicker off the plane before it sinks ;)

@rogerroger6049 3 года назад

Prunus doesn't need a life vest...he was school champion swimmer.

@derSchweiz 11 лет назад

It is a reminder and signal to flare the nose up for landing just before touchdown so you won't go nose first into the runway.

@AviationPro 12 лет назад

You'll be alright when Captain Sullenberger is behind the controls! Nicely done though, Pranas! :)

@LucS0042 11 лет назад

Since the APU was running (electric) would it be a good idea to turn on the electric hydraulic pump?

@dyllaf 8 лет назад

I don't understand why you would release the fire agents when both engines are most likely underwater.

@SuperRaptor4 8 лет назад

It's for emergency protocol procedures and purposes . And since the top of the turbine engines would be floating on top of the water there is a possibility of a flame

@Petra44YT 9 лет назад

Quite unsettling. Btw, good to see how the headset is stored, I didn't know that.

@CatonsvilleCentralRwy 11 лет назад

Not criticizing Airbus, but it seems those warning bells and lights simply distract the pilot more then they actually help him in a situation like that. Having to acknowledge warnings from the computer about problems he's already well aware of seems like a dangerous waste of time when he's having to ditch a plane in a river. Just my ten cents..

@MagicEagles 11 лет назад

You dont have to acknowledge them, its just to get the annoying beeping away. You get similar warnings in 737's as well.

@edgar5001 12 лет назад

What does turning on the "ditching" switch do?

@StephanK330 12 лет назад

You're spending great time in the sims ! Very nice videos ! Thanks !

@ericp. 7 лет назад

What does the ditching switch do exactly?

@AAron-fc2kn 7 лет назад

Grimmy Onland it seals any outflow valves so that the plane will sink slower.

@ahumeniy 6 лет назад

For a moment I thought the A320 was so advanced the ditch button would do the ditching itself

@ahumeniy 6 лет назад

It probably also tells the computer "I know what I'm doing, don't nag me with terrain and bad landing configuration warnings"

@TMCNJ 6 лет назад

It’s to tell the computer “you go to sleep now”

@deborshikashyap6745 5 лет назад

Ditching button diconnect all the electricity so that plane does not catches fire easily due to short circuit while touch down

@FelicianB 11 лет назад

closes basically every single of those valves, that could let water inside the aircraft. E.G. outflow valves.

@thomasworkman8264 10 лет назад

Why do you need to release fire agent when ditching aircraft?

@geekgamerlamer 7 лет назад

protocol in the procedure booklet, also if you ditch theres a possibility of the engines only being partially submersed so it eliminates the possibility of fire

@Montazvids11 11 лет назад

That Simulator needs a bit of ORBX scenery. :)

@58biggles 12 лет назад

I'm not sure what altitude you were at and I know it's a simulator but there was no sense of urgency.

@jkiang 11 лет назад

Having dual engine flame out more likely than not means you will not have your APU. Just think about the reason for a dual flame out.. Fuel starvation is one of the very very few causes of that, and that means you won't have your APU.

When water landing,what speed is good?

@nidurnevets 11 лет назад

Thanks for the answer. Would he have been better off in a Boeing 737, or worse off?

@farismufti 11 лет назад

Actually, Pranas made a no landing gear landing video on the a320 and 737.

@signmanbob2 11 лет назад

Airplane have hit the turf because they didn't declare an emergency and ATC was so busy that they didn't get alerted by hearing that phrase. True, we can assume that they will know if they hear that both engines have failed, but you know what they say about "assume".

@raymondlee3327 12 лет назад

Why don't you show a procedure involving a depressurization in flight?

@randomcreator123 11 лет назад

What does pushing the ditching button do???

8 лет назад

That radio was strange though, casually informing the ATC that the engines went dark. Isn't the pilot supposed to callout "mayday"?

@geekgamerlamer 7 лет назад

only if there is no chance of restarting the engines, he had plenty of time to try and restart them and in lots of cases the engines would restart, alhough he should have called mayday after the engines were past the point of restarting and he knew he was going to ditch

@Edgehead_78 11 лет назад

Since its in the electric section of the panel, my guess is that it cuts electric power to the galley (coffee maker, air chiller, ovens) to save it for important systems.

@TMCNJ 6 лет назад

Mathieu Proulx I was wondering what that button does too

@oppotato5440 5 лет назад

C. Neale yes thats correct

@CinemaDemocratica 10 лет назад

I'm sure this is a painfully naive question, but if both engines have flamed out, how exactly does Pranus "increase the speed a little bit" at 7:50? Does the flight management computer adjust the trim, somehow? Aircraft attitude?

@statinskill 8 лет назад

Yes. As you can see in the video there is even an overhead button labelled 'Ditching'. I think ditching beats ramming the plane nose-first into the ground.

Isn't dumping the fuel a good thing to perform in case of both engines loss?

@milosstankovic7107 6 лет назад

Raidzor つ ◕_◕ つ a320 cant dump fuel only bigger plane can do it.

@raidzor5452 6 лет назад

milos stankovic Yeah, already looked it up and learnt about it... It's weird because it is much more safe to have that function on an airplane....

@unflexian 6 лет назад

Normally you wouldn't need it for anything. Fuel dumping is most commonly used to avoid an overweight landing, and the highest takeoff weight of an A320 is lower than the highest landing weight, so it should handle landing in any situation. Plus you need the fuel for the APU to supply power.

@raidzor5452 6 лет назад

sagiksp Yes but still if you dump SOME fuel you become much lighter and you can fly longer with no engines.

@peteconrad2077 3 года назад

@@raidzor5452 counter intuitively you can fly further on no engines if you’re heavier.

@snugglesftw 7 лет назад

what does the ditching button do?

@Zls1996Ymf 7 лет назад

It closes a number of valves, preventing water from entering the aircraft: the outflow valve, avionics outlet/inlet, ram inlet, pack control and cargo insulation valves. Some aircrafts such as the MD-11 would also be slightly pressurized upon switch activation to improve buoyancy, rigidity and insulation.
