A330 startup with APU

Great tutorial. Now i can start up my A330 properly. Cheers

I was getting late for work, thanks for the tutorial, I am now on the runway ready for take-off. Thanks

Roll it downhill in second gear and drop the clutch.

Do I own an A330 ? No. Did I enjoy this video ? Yes :).

As a A320, A330, and A350 typed pilot, you missed a couple things. Fire test first and foremost, check the fire detection and suppresison system is functional. You can connect all the batteries in quick sucession, they're all being connected to the same DC BUS as long as all systems are in normal operation. You do not need to wait for the display to read "FLAP OPEN', Airbus recommend at least 3 seconds, that's all. Love the video though, miss the simpler airbusses haha. So many more tests and procedures we have to do on the A350

Before starting the APU remember to always test the APU’s fire detection system.

Always check the left seat for loose change too. It's actually the first item on the checklist.

Where do you put the keys in the ignition?

How do I pair my phone to the stereo?

That must be so exhilarating starting up and flying a big beast like this 😊

APU fire test? Should always be done before starting APU from cold and dark

thanks. this will come in handy once i get rich

Instructions unclear, My A330 started hovering vertically above the ground. passengers not happy

Y'all make it seem so easy and make me really want to take the plunge and get my pilots licenses like i've been dreaming of since i was a youngin. Thanks.

Thank you, this helped me alot

Where is the blinker fluid refill reservoir ?

Good thing that the gear is down so it can land

Meanwhile in the A220 (BCS3). Turn on batteries, turn apu switch to on for 3sec (self test), and the airplane is powered on

Why does exhaust gas rise so high the dramatically drop when starting? Probably a dumb question, but just curious. Thanks

I flew the A330 for more than 10 years. I never powered up a cold and dark airplane the way you did. You skipped a lot of steps. BTW, you don’t need to wait for the “flap open” indication to start the APU.
