Where to fly with airbus a380
How to fly the world's largest passenger aircraft | Airbus A380 | Emirates Airline
hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to
the flight deck of the Airbus a380 my
favorite aircraft usually we start with
loading the flight management computer
and we put the root so this do apply
today from Dubai to Heathrow and we're
going to put an altitude of 38,000 feet
as soon as I do that you will see that
the flight line is printed here on what
we call the navigation display after I
do that we usually wait for the
passenger to get on board load their
bags put the fuel on and we get ready
for push back of the aircraft and start
the engines starting the engines we put
the fuel pumps on we have the ignition
start like your key in the car basically
and we select the engine masters from
the off to the on positions as you can
see here we have four of them as soon as
I put the engine masters on the computer
in the 380 which controls the engines
controls the air and the fuel ratio to
give me a successful engine start as
soon as that all get done we're ready to
move whether our own power will you do
that controlling by the thrust levers
here which will create enough thrust to
move the aircraft on the ground we look
outside as our primary reference to
navigate also we have extra navigation
aids for example
the onboard airport navigation system
which will show me the taxiways and the
runway also and the 380 we have a two
cameras we have a camera on the top of
the rudder and the camera to show me the
nose gear so when we start taxiing in a
tight taxiways this is a very good fit
for us
just before we take off
we usually also calculate our
performance because it depends on the
aircraft weight and the condition of the
airport and the weather the speed which
we take off and the frost we use it
changes for that we have an app called
the takeoff performance we put the
airport we put the runway the conditions
the takeoff weight and it will calculate
the performance for us when you get
those performance figures we put them on
the books here
as soon as we put them and we select the
appropriate high-lift devices which we
call flaps and slats which helps the
aircraft fly at lower speeds so when we
take off this will be extended as soon
as we take off we put the gear up and we
extend the flaps but now because I
showed you the table which which not
only use for eating also as you can see
we use it to find our takeoff
performance also some of the charts so
where is our control column we don't
have one not in the Airbus fly-by-wire
we have a side stick on the side stick
as we take off we do a little back back
movement on the side stick and the
aircraft flies in there the beauty of
the side stick it has also automatic
trim so I don't need to trim to keep the
position of the flight control service
than that attitude I can do that the
aircraft memorize it and keep it steady
and stable and the 380 is probably the
most stable aircraft these days
commercially so after we do that and the
aircraft is flying safely and we're
comfortable we engage the autopilot if
it reading goes according to plan
basically the aircraft should follow
that learn we put from the by all the
way to Heathrow
that's laterally navigations and
vertically with the altitude to we can
change the altitude by selection here if
we want to change our heading we can
give the autopilot command to change the
heading and if we want to control a
specific speed we can control it also
here go down to Bali
when we arrived into Heathrow or the
destination we would like to go we start
slowing speed so we start extending the
flaps all the way down and if you are
good speeds also somewhere on the just
before landing we put the gear down and
then comes that red button you saw
earlier on it's the disengagement of the
autopilot so as soon as I disengage the
autopilot
I start looking using my instruments and
outside to fly the aircraft and large it
safely when we land will be still
high-speed so we will use the thrust
reversers to dissipate also we have an
auto brake system which we can select
something called brake to vacate which
is unique for the creative probably the
newer generation of the Airbus aircraft
- for this one you can see
if I select our runway and then I go I
want to go of the runway from here by
selecting the break to the case there
craft will decelerate automatically to
give you enough for slow speed to became
the runway from that exist which is very
comfortable for the passengers and it's
very good for maintenance we're on the
brake systems
that's briefly we just did a brief
flight from Dubai to Heathrow and we
discredited the new stuff I hope you
enjoyed this video and I hope to see you
again
