Very clear and well explained. I can completely follow all the steps you take. Great simulator you have there. When in Dubai I definitely visit you!

18:58 flying right above those buildings scared me

Hello Mister! question: when and how did you establish the 3.2 radiusfrom RWY to start turning downwind? i missed! Pedagogy in your videos is outstanding, thanks for that

[@waypointsaviation]

Select FPLN , navigate to any waypoint and press the Line Select Key (LSK) to the left of it. This will take you to the Lateral Revision page, where you'll see an option called FIX INFO. Press the LSK next to that.
From there, you can insert a VOR, NDB, airport, runway, or waypoint as a fix, and define a circle or radial. You can also define multiple fixes across several pages.
Hope this helps!

Fantastic video! including a take around one engine out and land with one engine out finally. All the procedures done! (including the secondary plan on the go EOSID) thanks!! very illustrative!
( I don't even want to think what it would be like to land without both engines after take off.. well yes... like Sully film but... )

[@waypointsaviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ahmettuna7451]

Everything was perfect again , except rudder trim reset before 50 ft call out

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks for the comment! Updated procedures doesn't require it to be done at 50 ft specifically but at any point necessary

[@Andrewfollow]

The rudder trim was not suppose to be reseted before touchdown ?

[@waypointsaviation]

Yes, the other pilot should reset them before touchdown

Really great videos for me - trying to keep up with my son who is soon to start flying the A320 out of Gatwick with BA.

[@waypointsaviation]

Thanks so much! Wishing your Son All the Very Best and Smooth Landings! He couldn't have picked a better career!

[@markknight2327]

I also live in Dubai, so enjoy the DXB & RKT approaches! My son grew up here. Keep up the great work.@@waypointsaviation

A question is there a critical engine in A320 which is usually the left engine?

[@waypointsaviation]

Hi,
The Airbus A320 Doesn't have a Critical Engine, in the event of an engine failure the remaining engine is capable of powering and running all systems, add the APU as a back up and Battery and Ram Air Turbine, the redundancy built in doesn't require a critical engine.

[@ibrahimabdulaziz7818]

@@waypointsaviation ok i was asking because in multi engine piston AC they teach us that the left engine propeller is the critical bcs of the pfactor and so on so i thought maybe a320 has a critical engine too more or less. Thank you sir

[@waypointsaviation]

Usually jet engine a/c don’t have a critical engine to my knowledge.

[@ibrahimabdulaziz7818]

What about fuel jettisoned? Dont you have to dump fuel since ur landing back too soon? Or u will exceed landing weight or maybe am wrong please explain ?

[@waypointsaviation]

The narrow body fleet of Airbus (A318,319,320,321,220) are not capable of fuel jettison. So in the event you’d have to land over the max landing weight we do have an over weight landing procedure and checklist to follow. Also after an aircraft does an over weight landing it’s immediately checked by the engineers to ensure no structural damage before it’s released back into service.

Love your videos Cap!!
