Sexy curves that make you wanna LEAP!
.
There’s just no denying it... the LEAP 1A engines that you find on the A320/21 NEO have the best looking fan blades (in my eyes at least). 👀
.
The LEAP has 18 super large fan blades that are made of a composite material, making them much lighter than their CFM56 counter parts.
.
The lightweight construction of this engine, as well as excellent engineering, means this engine saves a lot of fuel when compared to the CFM engines of the CEO (Classic Engine Option) A320’s.
.
All that being said, the LEAP engines do have a big drawback...
.
THEY TAKE A LIFETIME TO START UP!
.
.
.
❓Question - If, during the walk around, you need to rotate the fan blades to check for icing, do you........
A: Pull one of the fan blades to rotate them?
B: Put both hands on the spinner and rotate?
Put your answers in the comments below! 👇🏽
.
❓Also, am I wrong? Are there better looking fan blades out there? Let me know! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

The last light ☀️
.
Life is all about experiencing those little fragments of time that dazzle and enlighten us. For me, this happens a lot with my children, and it also happens a lot in the “office”. ✈️
.
Flying from London Gatwick to Alicante, I was lucky enough to experience this little wonderful fragment of time. I had to capture it! So out comes the trusty camera and... SNAP! 📸
.
❓Question - You’re cruising along taking a photo of a beautiful sunset, then all of a sudden you hear a bang and experience a rapid decompression. What is the very first thing you do, without fail?

How do you open the A320 cargo door? 🧐
.
Many of you might know, I used to fly the Boeing 737-800 a few years ago. For those of you that don’t know, the opening of the 737 and A320 cargo doors are very different. ☯️
.
The 737 cargo door operates manually. For the A320 though, it’s a little bit like this....
.
The A320 cargo hold doors are operated using hydraulic pressure. To open them, you simply push your fingers into the flap and lift the handle to release the mechanical locks. You need to make sure the handle is fully up ⬆️ before operating the hydraulic switch.
.
Then you lift the flap to the rear of the door and under the plane where the switch is located (as seen in the video), and push right ➡️ to open or left ⬅️ to close. Job done! 👍🏽
.
❓Questions:
1. Which hydraulic system is automatically activated to operate the cargo doors.
2. If hydraulic power isn’t available, can the cargo doors be opened? 😉

There’s always time to catch a sweet shot. But the question is, how do you make it look “interesting”? Well, it’s all about the angle.

In the dead of night, far above your sleeping heads, I travel through your dreams. 💤
.
The opportunity arose for me to find some nice angles in the flight deck, and here is the result. I’ve been doing a lot of night flying recently, and this was no exception. ✨
.
This was taken in the cruise, on the way back from Crete, into Gatwick. The First Officer had already set up the airplane for arrival, but not yet begun his brief as we had only just gone past Milan. 🇮🇹
.
During the brief, the first officer talked me through the arrival and precisely how he planned to perform it. Speed back to 180 knots and flaps 1 before localiser capture. Flaps 2 selected at half dot before glide slope intercept. Gear down at 4.8 miles. All this information helps keep the pilot monitoring “in the loop”.
.
❓Question - On the PFD, what are the current flight mode annunciations? Can you tell me the active modes and the standby modes? (You May need to zoom in to see). 😉

As a kid, I used to look at flight decks and my jaw would drop at the sheer complexity and wonder of these little rooms. 😯
.
Then one day I was lucky enough to sit in the flight deck for landing, but this time it was at night. This changed everything. There’s just something that blows my mind about a cockpit that is lit up like a Christmas tree. 💡
.
Do you prefer the view of the cockpit in the daytime or the night time?
.
❓Question - What range is set on the Navigation Display? The answer is in the photo 😉
