Wizz Air Airbus A321NEO Cockpit Landing Muscat Oman 

What's your first

@@markjackson5333 737Max :)

Would love to film the airport you mention.. will keep it in mind if we do book another airline from India! Thank you

@Just Planes I don't think it will be an easy process due to regulations. I hope they are the same as when you did your kingfisher and spicejet filming. It will be great to see the approach and departure process of Karipur as the locals address the airport. I wish the best and await your upload for the VOCL.

@@rafioo7jb yes since we also have some middle eastern airlines flying into that airport .

On this Wizzair plane the First Officer has to carry out all take-offs and landings. This A321neo has a fault in FMGC 1 (cmdt's FMGC) which continues to function on flights but provides invalid data to the AFS (AutoFlightSystem). In these cases, Airbus recommends ignoring the data coming from the cmdt displays, including the AP1 channel and the crew relying on the information coming from the FO side.

It's their SOP mainly. You will also see that a lots of things, especially their callouts are performed somewhat different from other airlines' callouts. I find their way of doing things the most efficient in all Airbus flying companies. The constant cross-checking, clear instructions and very skilled pilots make this airline sadly the most underrated one in Europe.

@@sztojanbarna Thanks! So, it's their SOP to 'not' shut down an engine on taxi-in? Indeed, what I meant was that I'd expect they can do that just about every time, as long as the taxi-in time exceeded the engine cool down period after landing. Or, have they just missed it on almost every occasion that JP is filming?? I understand there is reasonable apprehension for single engine taxi-OUT with the NEO, given the somewhat unpredictable BRM phase. But after landing it's quite simple. I agree and am too an admirer of this daringly skilled and efficient airline!

@@iamra_n3189 Wizz Air is all about fuel efficiency, so I am pretty sure they have their reasons why in certain cases they switch off one engine and why in certain cases they don’t. I don’t think that on this airport the taxiing takes so much time that the engine has enough time to cool down before they get to their stand. Also they are doing a short turnaround, which also effects these procedures. Luckily I got accepted to Wizz Air, so I will be able to tell you what’s their procedure on single engine taxiing in a few months.

@@sztojanbarna Brilliant...and congratulations!!

Thats a normal WZZ SOP, when performance allows.

He is not just focused on the screen, you can see his eyes constantly switching between looking on the instruments and looking outside. This is necessary to continuously monitor the instrument indications to make small corrections to the flight path (which are not visible on the camera from that position). Then you can see constant focus outside from about 50 feet down.

I have also noticed this. Exceptionally lot of his attention was inside the aircraft, especially below 500ft.

@@gliderman13 That's where the PFD & Engine instruments are. He's switching his eyes both in and out of the cockpit. It's 100% eyes out for the flare from 50ft though. It's pretty hard to rely on feel ad sound alone in these big, heavy birds. Even the big turboprops like Q400...you've got to hit the numbers! If they had a HUD, he could look right through the instruments the whole time, whilst also looking outside.

@@iamra_n3189 hey I can assure you that I know where all flight instruments are located;) I am an LTC previously rated on A320 family, now B737. Unfortunately the majority of his attention is on flight instruments almost up to 100-50ft, that’s simply unacceptable and would need a proper debriefing.

@@gliderman13 Really? Good for you, man.
