AIRBUS SIDE STICK - Explained by CAPTAIN Joe

TFC-Flight Training Centre: https://goo.gl/xAZEBp INSTAGRAM FLYWITHCAPTAINJOE: https://goo.gl/TToDlg MY WEBSITE: https://goo.gl/KGTSWK Dear friends and followers! Today´s video is another very important one about the Airbus Flight Control System, primarily the Airbus Side Stick, how does it work, what are the switches for and what to do in case one side stick fails. We´ll be looking at the general function of the side stick in closer detail. The two side sticks allow the pilots to control the aircraft manually in both pitch and roll. They are not linked mechanically, but simultaneous inputs by the Captain and First officer are summed. Not many people know that. The sum is limited to the maximum deflection by a single side stick. Dual inputs will cause both green SIDE STICK PRIORITY lights to flash and a continuous aural warning,"dual input" will sound. It is very important for both pilots to be clear about who has control of the aircraft because there is no direct feedback or artificial feel system, like in your PlayStation joystick or similar sort. Except for a simple spring-centring device, which neutralises the side stick when it is released. But watch the video to learn more about it. Big thank you to TFC-Käufer for making this video possible and providing me with their huge range of various flight simulators. In the video I was sitting in a FNPT A320. Their flight training centre in Essen/Germany is the home of many flight simulators in which I have my check-flights every 6 months. Besides the simulator training, TFC Käufer is Germanys leading flight school, offering a range of different training courses by using their privately owned aeroplanes. Make sure to check out their website to see for further details: https://goo.gl/xAZEBp Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe Background track: Stellardrone - Airglow: https://goo.gl/pKzibG Outro Soundtrack: Joakim Karud - Wish you were here https://goo.gl/S7Qu7X Thumbnail Pictures provided by @shortfinal_muc (Instagram) https://goo.gl/VdjRRL Equipment I use: Camera: http://amzn.to/2nEHPDM Microphone: http://amzn.to/2nff2oF Lights: http://amzn.to/2nEPGkU
