To turn on the cockpit voice recorder. I may have neglected to turn it on for the video.

Wow. Blast from the past. Good to hear from, Stephen. Those were the days, indeed. I reflect on those days a lot. Hope you’re doing well, my friend.

Keep pushing. Good luck.

@@RichardCunningham65 if my memory is correct, I think I met you over the polo club. I was in the JDF then and you were doing flying rc planes. Hopefully my Mooney can can go into annual next week and it's not that the cost isn't that much so I can put more in the tank and push for 500+ hrs this yr. It's rough flying with the NE weather.

I don’t think that was me. I’ve never flown an RC plane, nor have I any recollection of being at the Polo club.

@@RichardCunningham65 ok. No pro. Try flying one some day if you get the chance and see how u like it.

Don’t recall. The checklists have changed since this video. It’s been about a year. There’s no more below the line on any checklist now.

@@RichardCunningham65 probably ,anyway i have enjoyed watching the video captain wish you the best of luck , very cute kid by the way , god bless all of you

1. I never claimed that this was an official training video. It’s is for entertainment purposes only. 2. Whereas I may have missed a couple of things, your comment suggests that nothing I did is consistent with Airbus SOPs, which is a little arrogant in my opinion. 3. Your channel suggests that you are a Boing pilot. Are you also type rated on Airbus? Anyway, thanks for watching.

You’re welcome!!

No particular reason. This was just the setting up based on the preliminary weights as per the fight plan. Once I receive the load sheet, it will have the actual weights.

Work is work

You’ll just have to figure something else out. But is is legal to fly without one. Unfortunately we have to do it more time than we’d like.

I don’t know that any subjects are required to go to flight school, but companies certainly require you to have a certain amount of subjects before they will hire you in general. Subjects that will help you do the job are English, Maths, Physics and Geography.

@@RichardCunningham65 I chose all except the geography is that a problem is it I have to pick over and do the geography?

@@fullybrawling1949 it’s not mandatory, but I think you will Agree that geography would have some benefit to flying,,right?

@@RichardCunningham65 yes.

Flysmart from Airbus

No sir.

Commuting. 20on/10off.

@@RichardCunningham65 nice. Starting myself the 8th April

Most definitely you’re able to operate without an APU. In normal operations the APU is used for ground operations to supply electrical power and provide air conditioning and starting the engines. All these functions can be provided by ground equipment. Once the engines are started, they provide all of the above and the usually shut down anyway.

And no, it wasn’t the previous crews fault to my knowledge. It was inop for a few days prior.

@@RichardCunningham65 Thanks. But in case of a double engine failure, you are left with now electrical power at all. Is that a correct assumption?

@@Dirk-van-den-Berg that is correct.

@@Dirk-van-den-Berg Well you'd have the RAT to supply basic instruments

It looks worse than it was.

@@RichardCunningham65 u should have 2 camera angle so we can see what u see... ?

@@PromisesAreMadeByLiars I only had the one. Sorry

I didn’t have the actual figure at the time. When I got the final load sheet I inserted it then.

You’re free to believe what you want , but when did I say I worked for Saudi Airlines?

@@RichardCunningham65 sorry in down one reply I thought you

I love the tattered ballcap. Need some personality on the flight deck!
