    What is a outside-check ?
    I´m sure you might have experienced this once you were waiting at the gate prior to boarding, the pilot walking around the aircraft and closely looking at the exterior of his aircraft. What is he/she doing ? That is what I´d like to explain in today´s video !
    Every pilot has to check if his aircraft, helicopter, gilder, little sports plane or a big commercial jet, hasn´t encountered any damage or leakage from prior flights. Aviators call this regular procedure the outside check or exterior walkaround !
    Let´s take the Airbus A320 as an example. After completing our first checks within the cockpit, the last item on the "preliminary cockpit preparation checklist” reads, “EXTERIOR WALKAROUND -- PERFORM !
    You have a similar checklist in your car manual, in which you should check your tire pressure, oil quantity etc. prior to a long car journey. So the aircraft manual lists the items which should be inspected whilst doing your outside check.
    For example:
    • Condition of Pitot Probes ( free and clean )
    • Clean Static Ports ( Parts to measure altitude and speed )
    • Damages on aircraft nose section
    • Chocks in place ( so the aircraft can move )
    • Nose wheel structure, tyre abrasion
    • Depth of nose wheel damper
    • Condition of taxi and runway turn of lights
    • Condition of exterior antennas
    • Condition of landing lights
    • Any leakage of wing tanks
    • Strobe and navigation lights on the outer part of wing
    • Condition of slats and flaps
    • In and outlet of turbine
    • Fan blades of turbine
    • Tyre abrasion on main landing gear
    • Brake wear on main landing gear
    • Depth of main landing gear damper
    • Possible damages on horizontal stabilizer
    • Horizontal stabilizer in neutral position
    • In and outlet of auxiliary power unit ( APU )
    • Any dents and scratches of wings and fuselage
    • Any leaking fluids
    • secure closing of doors and hatches
    These are only a few important ones listed in the exterior walk around “checklist”.
    To approve that you have completed the outside check you need to write down time and your signature into the “Technical Flight Log”, similar to your service check book in your car. Important ! This not a “once a day check”, NO, the outside check has to be performed prior every flight !
    The same rule applies for little sports planes, private jets and helicopters, although these aircrafts fly on a less regular basis, so their vulnerable instruments, engine in and outlets are covered with a red protective cover, marked with big letters “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT”. And safety bolts, which protect the rudders from flapping about in the wind, are also tagged with this warning sign.
    More information about the “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” in another blog.
    It´s required by law, that a commercial jet has to have functional flashlights and reflective vests to properly perform the outside check during night operation.
    In the event that something is malfunctioning or broken, we´ll request a certified technician for help. If he can repair the broken part, he´ll state his repairs in the "technical flight log” and approves that the aircraft is airworthy. Otherwise if new parts or a bigger inspection and repair is needed, he will “write it off” and the aircraft is then AOG = Aircraft on ground !
    Safety first always goes first !
    So the next time you´re waiting at the gate, look out for your pilot performing his outside check !
    Next time we´ll talk about the REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT warning pins and tags.
    Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this basic introduction video about an A320 outside check!
    Wishing you all the best!
    Your "Captain" Joe

    Years ago I had a flight instructor who once told me that I took too long doing my pre-flight inspection. I had taken 20 minutes and I was quite thorough. My response to the instructor was "Show me the reg or shut the hell up". He and I never really got along, but never tell me how long I can spend doing preflight. It's my butt and my airplane up there. Do it right - don't rush your pre-flight.

      bcgrittner that’s cool that you maintain your vigilance on performing your job and not allowing senior crew to intimidate you. I’ve seen airplane disasters episodes where the copilot didn’t have the nuts to tell the captain that they were fixing to die!

      @@SilencedMi5 You need to SHOUT that a LOT louder. Boeing, Airbus and other aircraft manufacturers are not hearing you. I just can't believe how badly their systems are designed. Even this walk-around is shite. The level of expected inspection is beyond what is physically possible - often, you are too far away to inspect something properly - such as the leading edge of every fan blade on the engine - inspect for chips that could lead to cracks and fan failure. Working in a very noisy atmosphere is not right for inspection purposes - a fingernail flick of each of those fan blades to make it ring could indicate early hidden cracks that can lead to failures later.

      That's great if you have the time to do so- however in 121 (commercial passenger) aviation you're under time pressure to get off the gate on time. While you shouldn't rush- you should get your process as efficient as possible. If you make a habit of making the flight late you won't keep your job for long. Also note that every crew is looking at the aircraft before and after each flight and maintenance has to look at the jet every 2 days at a minimum, so there's lots of redundancy if one person misses something.

  • @alphadelta1219

    I read somewhere about someone who decided to leave one tank with fuel and the others empty. They decided to go for a fly the next day and did their pre-flight inspection but didn't want to check the one tank for water. They checked it anyway. What they found was that same tank had accumulated fourteen cups of water because the cap hadn't been on properly and it had rained overnight. That person wrote: The fuel would have cut out just after take-off and I would've crashed into the trees behind the runway.
    Thank you so much for the videos Captain Joe! I hope to meet you one day. Also, the high visibility vests look cool!

    • @martintheiss743
      @martintheiss743 Před 5 lety

      sounds like they saved themselves from death. the vests are just for a safety precaution to ensure that ground personnel don't get run over by any cart, car, or anything else on the tarmac. Alpha the procedure at all commercial terminals is that the flight crew calculates the reserve fuel on hand at the moment, anticipated fuel needs for said flight, and mandatory reserve add ons and then signal for a fueling to ensure compliance with aviation safety standards. Joe has a nice video on that process.

      He actually does not spin the entire engine. The fan (part he touches) is connected only to a few similar, but smaller sets of blades (low pressure compressor and low pressure turbine). Because you need very high rotational speeds for significant compression to occur it is (as you can see) quite easy to turn slowly.

    I for one would like to know all about when you have to sign on, how you find your aircraft, your process of getting prepared etc and how long before your flight you arrive at the airport

    • @hangar1891
      @hangar1891 Před 5 lety +2

      There's really nothing special about that, you pass the security checks,you go to the crew room and ask the lovely lady the documentation for your flight and she gives you a bunch of paper. You sign some,check the weather,check the notams,check the flight plan and ask again the lady where your airplane is. If it's close you just walk there like any other passenger,otherwise you get a minivan.

    • @martintheiss743

      This kind of preflight check is only to ensure that the pilot can properly program the route of the flight into the computers and hopefully avoid situations like KAL 007.

    Captain Joe, I am a ground crew team leader in LTN (London Luton). I constantly do the "walkaround" check of Easyjet a320 and 319's. I often notice that on the fuel filler cap, there is a small chain that hangs down outside of the cap. The chain is just to connect the cap to the main wing when the fueller is working; but is it a problem if the chain is accidentally hanging outside the cap after he closes it? Should I tell the pilot about it when I talk to him on the headset?
    I have told them in the past and it's a 50/50 split as to whether they're okay to fly with the chain hanging out or not. What are your thoughts?

      I am a mechanic in Hong Kong who handling Cathey Dragon's A320/1 most of the time. That small chain need to be checked in every weekly check, most of the time that chain is just disconnect from a ring like keychain, the condition of the small chain is totally fine. I rarely see that chain hangs down when I perform W. A. C. for short transit flight

    Could you elaborate on the brakes. I wasn’t really sure of what you were pointing at. By the way great video, loved it. I’m one of those rampers that does the walk around after the pilot and I never knew what I was looking for because my company never really showed me what to look for. I mainly looked for any damage. Thank you, very informative.

    • @kentyee5333
      @kentyee5333 Před 6 lety

      Christopher Schuster Yeah, my company don’t really teach us what to look for. During training they tell us if the plane aren’t missing anything or have any holes or have any dents or scratches it is good to fly. We don’t do as such a walk through a pilot goes through.

      @WIRRUZZZ Před 4 lety +2

      The fan (part he touches) is connected only to a few similar, but smaller sets of blades (low pressure compressor and low pressure turbine). Because you need very high rotational speeds for significant compression to occur it is (as you can see) quite easy to turn slowly.

    • @WIRRUZZZ
      @WIRRUZZZ Před 4 lety +2

      @@sarahk236 It is quite heavy, approximatly one tonne (the part he is spinning), but most of it is very close to the axis of rotation, so the moment of inertia is small and the fan blades are a nice long lever. And obviously the bearings are very good. I really want to see how difficult one of those is to spin, now!

    • @millomweb
      @millomweb Před 3 lety

      Due to the bearings, there is very little friction - so easy to turn. Very often you'll see an engine slowly rotating - and that's just a bit of breeze going through it doing that !

      Its a tradition like sailing. Ultimately the captain of record at the moment is responsible for anything that happens to a ship, crew, cargo, or otherwise. It is just part of being a good flight crew member to have an examination like this done as per standard before signing for a flight since they can ask for services before they are responsible for the plane.

    >If you forget this, the nose gear won't retract upon takeoff
    what happens when this occurs? Do you have to do an emergency landing?

    • @bleedaviation201
      @bleedaviation201 Před 5 lety

      ECAM displays (A320) main landing gear RED which means the gear isn't retracted and you can go ahead and make an emergency landing but mostly it's the job of ground personnel to remove the pin before engaging pushback service

    • @WIRRUZZZ
      @WIRRUZZZ Před 4 lety +1

      Not really an emergency landing. You can fly with the gear extended, although you have some speed restrictions and burn more fuel. You may have to burn some fuel anyway, as the aircraft might be too heavy to land immediately. If you cannot dump fuel (or it gets your passengers to their destination faster) you can also just continue (bur keep an eye on your fuel gauges and do not end up like these guys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapag-Lloyd_Flight_3378)

    I would like to thank you Captain Joe because I went on my first plane!! Me = terrified of heights above 1.57cm and all the knowledge and things I learned from you bedazzled my friend (when I told her) who put me on the darn plane until she realised (at 30,000 feet) I was utterly and absolutely terrified to the point my Apple Watch warned us 4 times my heart beat was over 120 beats per minute for a 50 minute. I know I was terrified and scared but the only reason my Apple Watch was not telling everyone my heartbeat was over 120 beats per minute more like 100 times during the flight rather than 4 times was because I had developed some sense of confidence in you and your trust in flying from watching your videos. Everyone is very surprised in my little bits of knowledge on planes and flight. So Thank You + Hugs :)

    When you dont have enough money to have your buttlers do the routine safety check. Dude save up for some buttlers. They are the shit. Joe, great video, i learned a lot about the airplanes. A cool video would be about the life of airplane parts. Lets say... How long does it take for the tires to get old and need to be changed. The brake pads how often are they changed. How many flights happen before taking the airplane to the workshop for its general maintenance.

      Pilots go back and forth between captain and first officer depending on where they are in their flying career. You start as an FO and then upgrade to captain. If you change aircraft or companies, you will again start as FO and then upgrade to Captain as your seniority increases. I have been first officer twice, captain twice, and will once again become FO once I move onto a new aircraft.
