    Dear friends and followers, in today's video I`ll be explaining a few thumb rules to make your descent planning a lot easier. Initiating the descent at the right moment is one the things/procedures most flight students and even experienced pilots struggle with from time to time. Nowadays airliners are equipped with all sorts of helpful tools showing you when to start your descent but this systems still can´t anticipate the mood of the air traffic controller, which can always interfere with your descent.
    So watch the video and look out for some great and helpful thumb rules which will make your descent planning a lot easier.
    Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this basic introduction about descent planning!
    Wishing you all the best!
    Your "Captain" Joe

      I love the descent into KSFO when they do the staggered close parallel into RWY 28R and they intercept the 28R final and make that sharp turn to so they don't overshoot over to 28L where there is another aircraft landing, all while on steep descent because of the mountains east of the bay. I go "whee" every time...well not out loud...usually.

    @GM471a Před 5 lety +77

    Joe, I’m now retired but i used to do two descent profile calculations. First for the aircraft’s needs with similar techniques like you described but also a second calculation for the cabin pressurization needs to ensure a comfortable rate of descent for the passengers ears. Our department guidelines were a cabin climb of 500 fpm and only 300 fpm for descent. Taking the cabin from max diff to sea level could need more time than it might take to get the aircraft down. Especially with no anticipated restrictions and smooth air. Once both calculations were complete I would start the descent to match the longest time required to meet their numbers.

    It is positively amazing that there are so many factors and calculations involved in landing.. I had no idea the pilot even still had that much control and input these days. I actually thought it was far more automated with electronics and software. While the instruments are obviously extremely sophisticated, this video made me realize that they only provide information and leave much more than I thought up to the the pilot. I'm sure there's tons of smart technology and automation but someone still has to understand and operate it all. This channel always leaves me struck with respect for how complex and precise the science of flight has become.

    Great Video, an easier to calculate V/S on 3deg Glide is to take GS and simply divide by 2 and add a zero. So in your example: 147÷2=75 add a zero and we have 750fpm

    • @davidpalmer9780
      @davidpalmer9780 Před 4 lety +8

      That works... another is to multiply your GS by 5. So in the example, 147 × 5 = 735 fpm.

    How I do it on Flight simulators:
    1) Have a general idea where the airport is.
    2)Nose dive like hell until you get close to the ground. When you get the terrain warning, even better.
    3) When you see the airport, nosedive then work your flaps and speed until you land.

    im impressed with the amount of detail capt joe revealed to us with regards to the ropic in hand. in my perspective, an easier calculation for our required v/s (decent rate) at 8:19 with 150 gs is 15/2 add a zero. also. to know approximately how much track miles we need (in case of a straight in approach for a 3 degree decent) , suppose we are at 27000 ft with ariport elevation close to 0, 27x3 +10nm(for configuration) equals to 91NM. as for a downwind approach, we add 20 or 25nm to tbe 91nm i.e. 111NM total distance. Happy flying everyone.

  • @Wolfie6020
    @Wolfie6020 Před 5 lety +9

    Great video. Adding my own experience I use the following.
    For a three degree descent angle - use a vertical speed five times your ground speed. e.g. 500 knots GS use 2500 ft / min
    As a rule of thumb for the descent point. Altitude to lose / 300 = track miles to run. (or 3000 feet for every ten Nautical miles )
    Say you are at 45,000 ft (I fly a Global Express) - descent point will be 45,000 / 3 = 15,000 / 100 = 150 Nautical miles.
    It works nicely all the way down.
    45,000 ft - 150 Nm to run
    42,000 ft - 140 Nm to run.
    39,000 ft - 130 Nm to run
    30,000 ft - 100 Nm to run.
    15,000 ft - 50 Nm to run
    3000 ft - ten Nm to run - straight down the ILS.
    Or just select Vpath and let the plane do it all :-)

    • @BensonNyasae
      @BensonNyasae Před rokem

      Everything on earth not only water, is kept in place by gravity. That's why it doesn't pour into space.
      To answer the previous question, aircrafts fly very close to the ground, hence the curverture of the earth is still not obvious. If you moved further up (away from earth) you will notice the earth getting rounder. Also look at flight paths. They are usually not straight lines. They resemble an arc since they need to account for Earth's shape.
      Sorry English is not my first language but i hope you understand the long explanation.

    • @UAL012
      @UAL012 Před 4 lety +3

      What you need to figure is your cruising altitude and divide that number by 3.
      For example, if you’re at 36,000 feet (aka Flight Level 360) you would divide 360 by 3, giving you the answer of 120. That means that you start your descent at a maximum of 120 Nautical Miles (NM). This is assuming no change from Air Traffic Control (ATC) or a STAR chart (Standard Terminal ARrival) that tells you speeds and altitude to be followed

      @acpulse Před 4 lety +1

      I do sequencing for Sydney. I sometimes feel a bit guilty constantly altering aircraft speed/track after top of descent. The environment is so variable though and there's just too many other aircraft to work around to leave everyone to their own devices. The other thing to note is different airlines/makes fly vastly different profiles, or have different company speed restrictions. I flat out have to tell 787's what speed to fly because their speed range is crazy. Always a nice surprise to find out United is flying 250kts in his 787 for some reason or the MD11 is flying 340kts like he's the only one in the sky. Fun games.

    Really well put together video Joe! It’s true that many people rely too much on the FMS and forget simple 3 degree mental math. I like how you also mention kinetic energy, because it’s easy to descend too low and drag the airplane in, but it’s also our job to fly the airplane most efficiently to minimize fuel burn and costs.

  • @tychobra1
    @tychobra1 Před 5 lety +3

    Wow, I've learned a lot now. I thought the complete decent path is indicated by the ATC. I also thought, that this specified/fixed glide path is shown in the cockpit displays so that the pilot only has to follow this path by staying within the tolerance range. And finally I thought, the necessary adjustments to stay on the path are usually done by the autopilot and only sometimes a landing is performed manually by the pilot. Am I totally wrong with all these assumptions?

  • @jasminejohnston6393
    @jasminejohnston6393 Před 5 lety +3

    My favourite place to sit, for both comfort and safety, is a window seat near the wings. During takeoff and landing, I like to look out the window and keep my eye on the plane’s engine and wing on that side, just in case something goes wrong. That way, I can alert the flight crew to an emergency if something goes wrong!

    • @danielclooney6248
      @danielclooney6248 Před 2 lety

      Lol, I'm the same way. A pilot sitting next to me on a re-positioning flt for him.....I noticed a liquid coming out of some crack or tube on the wing. I told him about it, he looked at it and said he'd report it when we got to EWR.

  • @daviator4720
    @daviator4720 Před 4 lety

    Very nice video. 3 Times the altitude to lose plus 10 miles for slowing to 250 knots by 10000 works on for most medium jet aircraft. I check the altitude when doing that, and adjust speed slightly to compensate for a diverging profile. Slightly high, increase speed 10 knots, slightly low, decrease speed 10 knots. ATC often has other plans though flying around the busy USA Northeast/Midwest/SE Florida. Florida area, they get you down way too early, but as most their traffic funnels through the southern pan-handle, I can see why they have do this. Yes weight and wind are factors, but a good general way to cross check what the FMS(G) is doing is a quick math check to the nearest downrange along track descent waypoint as per above.

    @joachimkistenich9093 Před 4 lety +4

    Hi Joe. Thank you for your video. Please can you answer me one question:
    When calculating the speed to lose why do subtract the average speed from the present speed? Why not the target speed? Isn't it that you have to add the distance that you need to lose the total amount of your present speed to the target/APP speed. I would be thankful for a short explanation. :-)

    in approach. for a approach requiring vectors or opposite direction landing - the 15. Made for comfortable descent and as
    with any approach it takes some fiddling to make it super smooth.
