Yeah, it's brave to come to the forum and be all "I am feeding the troll" .. I dare you to be in an airplane right beside the engine when 10 minutes after takeoff it starts making a sound that a car from the 1940's used to make when they were in need of some fine tuning. I am not talking about the PTU or the flaps, slats, etc. The engine made a bubbling sound, imagine an old car starting up, thats how it sounded. the whole flight went silent and the piliot took a good 15 minutes after that to tell us something was wrong, so dont give me this "Feeding the troll" BS. As I am very brave right now as well, sitting behind my keyboard, at sea level, not 38,000 feet above it.
This type of reply is exactly why I came here, I expected to avoid people like this but I guess this is the internet... impossible to avoid people like this who get insulted for weird reasons.
And here I am trying to figure out why people reply with such anger? Is it because they like Airbus and feel I insulted their favorite company? I don't get it. Or is it because they feel I am here with an ulterior motive? Someone here was talking about a journo.. just wtf does that even mean?
Anyway, thankfully most of you had a lot of valuable information that helped me big time. now I know whenever the 320 makes a barking noise its just the power transfer unit trying to level pressure between both hydraulic systems. Now I know it's perfectly normal and that is thanks to you.
