Fun fact! The reverse pushback is actually known as "Power back" in aviation, typically used by the ATR's, but sometimes in special russian places too.
This method stopped being used a while ago due to safety concerns of the "Bucket Reversers" on planes, which could throw debris, snow and ice onto the wings. This could damage the wings, or cause an aerodynamic stall during takeoff.
7:03 Austin’s applying full power to the failing engine and that’s what you should not do during an engine failure because it’ll just get worse later on. When one of your engines fail, idle its thrust inputs to prevent further damage. If it’s an engine fire, idle the throttle, shut down the engine by killing its power due to fuel starvation, then activate the fire suppression system. If not responsive for 30 seconds, activate it again. If the light goes out, it means the fire is extinguished, and the engine is declared secured. Then declare your emergency to ATC, then they’ll help you find a suitable airport to land.
Swiss001 has indeed a pretty special channel here going on. He is an expert but joins the "noobs" and have fun with them. The whole thing is very cathartic and a pedagogic "ensemble" experience while bringing in normal people to the flight sim world universe. Besides, he always makes me laugh or put a smile in my face when he pushes the boundaries, so thanks are in order! Can't wait for the next video! :)
Did you not hear 'Too low terrain' about 29 times prior to the flare? It's amazing how easy it is to ignore calls with a flood of information - hence standardized procedures for all phases of flight and as many situations as we can predict.
That's so hilarious :D You and Austin should open a dedicated channel, it would make me laugh all day. That's the kind of content aviation YT needs. Well done :) Grüüüüße ;)
but did i hear "helicopters"? Finally ! Thanks Austin for looking after these. There is a bunch of stuff in development that only waits for a bit of improvement on the hardware controllability side, flight path irregularity and some free space on the carriers. Let's find Joe's house.
Pushing back using reversers: I already saw a B727 doing push back using reversers and I thought it was a day dream. It was unreal but it happened 25 years ago at Dallas/Fort Worth Intl Apt. while I was waiting to board my flight at the gate.
Hate to break it to ya Austin...that wasn't the Tappan Zee, that was the Whitestone. The bridge I commute over weekly...please dont fly under it again 😂😂
2nd time you visited that place. I love❤ the first video about that A320 flight sim but this is a very different experience. Amazing👍 and funny at the same time😄
Reversing an aircraft using reverse thrust is known as a "power back". Shortens engine life but the savings due to lower demand for tugs may be greater.
How the hell does a professional flight sim not have correctly aligned main panels?? Austin had them correctly align then Swiss all the time had the Captain's main panel layout.. triggering honestly
