BEST channel on youtube, i have learnt so much from your vids. flying simulators for a while and hoping to get on the real airbus soon. keep it going!!!
Thanks for watching and for the great feedback! All the best for your pilot training! And: Please tell everybody about the youtube channel! Thank you so much and have a nice day!
Another awesome approach. Would it be possible to have one camera to show primary flight display and nav display? Instead of the middle one facing pilots. Good job on the landing and Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the great feedback. I thought already about recording the displays and putting them in the videos. Until now, I did not find an ideal non disturbing camera location. But I still work on that. So please stay tuned.
An unusual route on approach to LCA. Normally further south and then a left turn over Larnaca Bay. Was there a special reason? But interesting to watch.
The standard instrument approach is like you described: It passes over the airfield, turns left for the downwind leg over the water and then again back to the final approach. We flew the RNAV VISUAL approach. This is also a published approach. It is only available in good weather for airplanes with the approach in the database and if traffic and for sure ATC permits. For us this was the shortest way to the airfield. We especially requested the approach at 00:38. At 09:40 we got the final clearance for the approach.
The last few years LCA and PFO have issued RNAV visuals This is very good especially as we had incidents at LCA , were aircraft deviated more north east penetrating the British bases airspace and the occupied northern airspace
Thanks for watching and the feedback! I assume the radar was not available or they have to confirm everything because the radar was newly installed and not yet finally approved without the position reports of the pilots.
Thanks for watching and your feedback! Most of my newest videos contain also a view of the PFD (primary flight display). This includes altitude, speed and more. Here is a video of an approach to London with the PFD : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W-oHREKMIFs.html And here one to Naples: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pCOt-VzRdn8.html Also there is a playlist with my videos with the PFD included: ru-vid.com/group/PLa2FUXnb0gRD1Dyvo4wfEyPk-U1lCmmHu
Thank you. As far as I know, they installed a brand new radar system just a few weeks ago. It has a range of about 60 nautical miles. May be they asked for the distance to verify and confirm the information from the new radar system.
Only thing i dislike about flying is constant communication and chitchat. I would prefer I get all orders on the screen and only if something is out of order we could talk about it. But what do i know, I have only flown planes in PC simulators.
During approach, departure, and taxiing, we reduce our communication in the crew to the operational minimum. We always monitor the radio for calls from ATC for us and even for calls to other airplanes to maintain a good situational awareness.
From where you guys are there is no way you could have visual contact with the airport, that is why the ATC was asking your DME distance.from BONEK ! 😂62 nm ? seriously!!
Thanks for your comment. We were high and the weather was perfect with unlimited visibility. So we were able to see the airport very very early on this approach. As we spoke to ATC, we were about 53 miles from the airfield at more than 15000 feet. The (theoretical) line of sight at that altitude is about 170 miles. The bad thing is that even our 4k video quality cannot show that because we did not use a telephoto lens.
