  • www.balticaa.com Baltic Aviation Academy (Lithuania) makes a comparison of an Airbus A320 with a Boeing 737 at different situations. This time Pranas Drulis, a student of the ATPL integrated course, demonstrates how to execute the flight in Boeing 737 whilst having an engine failed at V1, the take off decision speed.

    This is an interesting insight into just some of the issues associated with an engine failure-at a critical phase of flight-approaching V1 on take-off. I am a very experienced Airline captain and have flown these sequences many times in my career.
    For those interested I make the following comments. Firstly maintaining control is obviously vital-nothing except this matters until at least 400' AGL-Speed not below, V2 tracking correctly and gear up with positive climb. Rudder trim to centre the control yoke. Thrust can be increased to full power and maintained for 10 minutes on one engine, normally 5 minutes for both engines operating.
    Above 400'AGL " identification phase"-for a "simple" engine failure- i.e.: no fire/severe damage or separation no actions required, otherwise the memory items are carried out-A/T disconnect, affected thrust lever closed.affected start lever cut-off-then for fire only affected fire warning switch pulled and rotated to discharge extinguishing agent. A second shot is available if fire light remains on.
    The climb then continues until acceleration altitude - at least 1000'AGL. Some operators allow for APU start, fuel crossed open( fuel balancing) and alt. equipment cooling to restore RASTA on the EFIS whilst waiting for acceleration.
    At acceleration altitude speed bug wound up to the 'green dot" speed( clean manoeuvre) in TOGA mode-the pitch bar on the FD commands a shallow climb as the aircraft accelerates-flaps retract from 5 to I then Up as required. when 'clean" then Autopilot engaged, thrust set at MCT, speed mode on MCP set ,HDG on MCP set-Boeing don't recommend auto throttle in one engine operations-so manual thrust now.
    Then all the checklists are actioned-Recalls are rechecked ( corrects any errors made earlier) the Engine Failure and Shutdown checklist actioned for the first time ( for a simple engine failure) and finally the After Takeoff checklist. The autopilot needs to be monitored closely, it does not handled the rudder channel. Trim changes with speed and thrust change.
    Sounds simple doesn't it??

    I think he sets the temperature high to model a worst case scenario - higher temperatures mean less lift and make flying harder in general. Basically means in a tpyical situation where it would be much lower, he should be able to handle it easily.

      I don’t even think he set the v1 and vr speed he just said that because it was a habit
      You can see he was in the touchdown zone of the other end of the runway so it is very possible that he was actually over v1 speed

    One hint:
    If you disconnect the Auto Throttle by pressing one of the side-swiches at theThrottle TWO times, you avoid this nasty red blinking of the auto-throttle-disengage-warning-light in front.
    You should do this, this permanent blinking all the time is awful.. Blink blink blink almost all the time....
    AND: PLeASE press the take-off-buttons at the Throttle from ABOVE (not with one finger from below) and KEEP your hand at the Throttles, when applying take-off-power ALL THE TIME.
    If one engine fails with severe damage (N1 and N2 = zero) at this position at about 10 to 30 knots, you will be off the runway within two seconds, when the other engine sets takeoff-power. In this case you are to late with your hand at the throttle to set idle.
    During approach checklist: The master caution "Aircondition" was caused by "Pack Trip Off", you had no cabin-pressurization all the time after the Pack tripped. Warning light (Pack Trip) was left, the dead engine was right, this pack was switched off.
    But over all it was a very good information to compare this computorized A320 with this fine-art-Airplane B 737.
    Sure, there is a lot more to do in the Boeing 737, but if you have done it, its done.
    No one knows, what the computer in the A320 will do ..or may be not, or may be wrong or....whatever.
    Edit, one more hint: NEVER fly manually (auto pilot off) with AutoThrottle aktive. Because you will have a lot of extra work to stay stable. May be, you go inadvertantly above the Glideslope, you get slower. This will be compensated by the auto throttle with higher thrust setting. This leads to a pitch-up-moment, which works against your intended correction to descent to match the glideslope again. Same with coming below, airplane accelerates, AT reduces thrust, pitch down moment lets the nose fall, thats the wrong direction.
    And why do you switch off the flight director during approach. That is stupid! FD helps a lot, mainly during this phase of flight - and with engine out even more.
    Best regards.

    For B737CL, there are no memory item for engine failure, at 1000'AGL, you do not PUSH N1 for single engine instead you keep TOGA power until you have Flap up, No Light, then select MCT, LVL CHG and for B737 you no need to lever off to accelerate, you can climb .and clean up at the same time

    I am not a pilot. Dreamed about doing it next thing you know life happened and I'm over 50. I was shocked at how much harder it was to land the 737 with 1 engine out as opposed to the A320. Is this strictly because you were flying a 737 classic as opposed to a 737 NG? Will the new 737 max even things up? I know I will be more aware of the type of plane I am in from now on.
    Love your videos! For a non pilot it truly helps explain what's involved.

    • @woodburyfilmproductionsgam8524
      @woodburyfilmproductionsgam8524 Před 5 lety +3

      @Ron Lipp the 737NG is probably slightly easier to control because it has more compatible auto thrust and EEC (electronic engine control). However, the many protections of the Airbus make losing a system’s full capability almost impossible. Things like auto trimming and other convenient systems and anti-crash protections make flying the A320 with one engine easier than flying the 737 classic or 737NG. But, newer Boeing planes such as the 787 also have these protections and automatic convenient systems to make one engine operations easier.

    @N0616JCProductions Před 12 lety

    He is correct as well, because it's also the power the engine can give out. The fan blade that you see in the front of the engine is was produces the most of the thrust that jet engines we have today and that N1 is most common measure of power in a jet. EPR is also used in some airacrafts, but N1 is less confusing as N1 shows power in percentages and that EPR shows power as Engine Power Ratio thing, and that it shows 1.xx for certain power setting.

    That is the manual trim wheel. The pilot has an electronic trim button on his joystick that permits him to automatically spin the wheel (nose up or nose down position). There are trim servo-tabs on essentially all flight control surfaces. Search it up and you'll learn more on that subject.

    if youre talking about the spinning weels. those are TRIM CONTROLS.
    in a "normal" aircraft, it moves little trim tabs on the elevators helping the pilot "recenter" hes yoke. or in small planes, helps the pilot reducing the force he has to apply to the controls.

    That's your trim wheels used to adjust the pitch of the aircraft. Modern aircraft have powered trim but in the old days your trim was adjusted by hand, hence the wheels on each side of the throttle quadrant. The white lines are just for visual reference that the wheels are rotating.

    A Glideslope will be intercepted from the bottom up. E.g the initial approach fix is 3.000 feet QNH an the GS needle is coming down to center, you have to start the descent with a standard-sinkrate.to keep the path. If you fly via autopilot, the "APP" (Approach) will maintain the glideslope AND localizer automatically. Also you can select LOC or G/S only.Single Engine Piston Aircrafts like Cessna only have APP and NAV.(mostly).

  • @JERRYinCHS
    @JERRYinCHS Před 11 lety

    Nice work! Never flew the Abus but I'm typed on the 737 and a few other Boeings. A few ideas for you- once stable climbing out, the pilot flying is supposed to make the INITIAL rudder trim movement. Just get it going in the correct direction and then tell the other pilot to set 15 against the dead engine.Start with15 climbing, 10 level, 5 in a stable descent. If the control wheel points steadily to one side or the other, you need more rudder (pressure or trim). Continued next comment.

    What are the 2 large wheels on the center that keep clicking and rotating?

  • @Raptorman456
    @Raptorman456 Před 12 lety

    Those are called trim wheels. Their are what are called trim tabs on the elevator and rudder of an aircraft. the purpose is that these small trim tabs can move independantly of the actual control surface and move very slightly. However this slight movement releases alot of what pilots call back pressure on the control yoke. Basically, when an aircraft is trimmed correctly, you can let go of the control yoke and the plane should fly straight and level on its own. It saves the pilots from fatigue.

    In XL 888T, the crew were conducting an alpha protection test when there was 1 or more contaminated AOA vanes, the plane unexpectedly stalled whilst in normal law (comp had put THS to 12 degrees nose up during test). It then entered direct law and recovered from the stall but climbed steeply because the pilots were unawear of the THS psotion (which WAS being controlled by the comp) and failed to recognise it, the plane stalled again, didn't recover and crashed into the ocean.

    This video makes me glad I fly mostly on JetBlue, since they use A320s. The A320 seemed a lot better able to cope with the loss of the second engine and the workload seemed a lot lighter. Granted, they usually have two pilots, but still. Not to mention, it seemed like the easier plane to land in the nigh on impossible event I'm ever put in the position of having to do so.

    Yep, about 60knots depending on plane and/or airline.To stop potential FOD damage and also because the engines don't like re-ingesting the same air. In some emergancies like some high speed MTOW RTO or somthing where you need to stop ASAP or have limited breaking (fire, brake failure, ect) then you can use reverse all the way to the stop.

Nice video all the same :-)

    • @caspianmerlin6162
      @caspianmerlin6162 Před 8 lety +3

      +SLOPPY1001 Believe me, it's much better that the pilot consults the operating manual. Planes this big have hundreds of thousands of components, and many systems that rely on each other. The engines power things like hydraulic pumps that provide power to the flight controls, air conditioning packs that maintain cabin pressure, electric generators that power the avionics, and many more. An engine failure means that some of the systems have to be reconfigured to rely on power coming from the other engine, to put it simply.
      Depending on which component fails, the pilots often have to reconfigure the aircraft systems around this component, in order to minimise loss of functionality. There are so many possible components that couldn't fail that it would be ridiculous to have every checklist and procedure memorised by heart. The fact that the pilots methodically work through the checklists and procedures designed by the manufacturers of the aircraft should be of comfort to you!
      Consider also that on a commercial flight, there are two pilots, who are trained to share the workload between them and work together.
      I would recommend you read QF32 by Richard de Crespigny. It's about the A380 that suffered huge system losses, and he recounts how the situation was professionally handled by four pilots.

    i love my airbus i have in p3d sometimes my help doesn t help me so i do it alone but maintan heading and speed i watched both vids on engine failure and airbus is little less tiring than boeing that i saw going to try engine failure when i have better graphics card in my comupter i know i can fly it without auto pilot fd off and auththrotle off so its going to be very tough till you practice it over and over a very good videos on both the airbus and boeing

    Will the Torque factors effect a turbo jet in the same way as props? it's still a spinning engine, but the airplane is much bigger. Do you have to split the ball to maintain directional control?

    hi baa, can you simulate a lost of navigational systems or stall recovery?

    Awesome job...but that shows pretty good why a co-pilot is so important and the communication between those two pilots is also very very important...

    Some people are asking, why change the settings for heading course and altitude if the auto pilot is disconnected.
    The answer to that is, even flying manually the pilot is using the flight director for guidance. Also it is useful in the event that the pilot needs to re engage the autopilot, everything is set up correctly. Hope that helps.

    do they then lower from just gravity or do they stay up?

    They don't spin by themselves, it's just there is a tab / switch on the yoke that you push up or down that trims the aircraft for you. The trim wheel spins in compliance with the tab on the yoke.

    the spinning wheels are the trim wheels? and when they spin by themselves, thats just the plane's computer doing it automatically correct?

    what do those wheles that spin in the cockpit do.

  • @adampoconnor
    @adampoconnor Před 11 lety

    That is the Stab Trim (a.k.a. Elevator Trim). This is controlled by either the autopilot or the pilot him/herself by a switch on the left side of the Pilot's control yoke (Right side of the yoke on the F/O side of the cockpit). This is to keep the aircraft at a certain attitude (pitch up or pitch down) while climbing, descending, or while cruising without autopilot, which pilots never do regardless.
