- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Welcome to the seventh video in a new series of tutorial videos taking you on a full flight from Manchester to Prague. Each of these tutorials is designed and based on real world procedures used by A320 pilots around the globe to make your flight simulator experiences as realistic as possible.
Episode 7:- In this episode, we walk you through the full approach from the top of descent (TOD) and show you how to fly the approach that we briefed in episode 6 of this tutorial series. Once established on the ILS, we look at how to successfully land the A320 with a manual landing.

An important point for any viewers. At 14:15 the LS button is toggled to display the ILS lateral and vertical nav diamonds.
This is something I missed while watching this video. It caused a quite a bit of confusion as to why ILS was flashing yellow/orange.
A bit late to the party....but simply loved the tutorial series....so informative ....full of great little tips and hints from someone who obviously knows what he's doing. Brilliant....an absolutely 'Must See' series👌👍
Your tutorials are excellent training. I watched the full series. I am not flying MSFS 2020 but XP11 Toliss A321 Neo and A346 and this very helpful. Thanks.
thank you so much for this amazing series!
The fastest 20 minutes I've ever experienced, really nice content.
Thank you for great tutorial. I was watching (and i am still watching your videos when learning Fenix A320. Very good tutorials.
Watched the whole series. Thanks!
That was an amazing tutorial series. I binge watched the whole thing while taking my own Fenix A320 from NZAA to NZCH, following you one click at a time (and making loads of notes) setting up my plane and getting it out to the runway and into the air, then the cruise down to to NZCH was JUST long enough to watch the setting up for the arrival and landing bits, which - to my astonishment - worked just as intended ! The only thing I didn't get was when in the approach do you press the LS button, and what does it do ? You did a jump cut and when you came back it was on. I vaguely remember it stands for 'Landing Systems" but that's all I have :) Thanks again, this was excellent !
Thank you for watching. All the LS button does it display the ILS magenta diamonds on the PFD.
I usually put this on around 10,000ft. 👍
Brilliant, thank you.
Great series! Will watch them again. So much good info. Thank you very much...
Outstanding tutorial, everything's clearly explained. Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
excellent tutorial thank you
Excellent tutorial thank you so much!
You are the best, videos series.
Great content, conveyed very sympathetically, thanx a lot
WOW amazing tutorial! I’m new in vatsim and i own the fenix a320… could you please do a short tutorial how to manually change ils aproach (for example: 190.9)? I can’t find that tutorial so it would help so mutch!
This isn't done really in the A320. However, you'd enter the frequency in the RADNAV page under LOC.
@@Easyjetsimpilot so thats all? Do i need to activate it? Btw thank you so mutch! I thought i can do it cuz the atc gave me these info…
Thank you for the video 👍
I was under the impression that since every waypoint in the F-Plan has its designated speed and altitude (constrained or not) the plane would obey this and start descending and/or slowing down in time to meet these values. I missed so many approaches because I didn't manually initiate a descent or manually lower the speed.
I was just wondering what's the meaning of entering these constraints in the FMGS since we're going to fly the approach (practically) manually anyway.
Thank you so much for these videos, the whole series on the Fenix A320 was invaluable. I must be responsible for half your views since I'm watching them over and over again :D
Haha, thank you. The values in the MCDU are for the descent profile. If you left the aircraft in managed speed and managed descent mode, it would follow all the constraints in the MCDU FPLN page.
@@Easyjetsimpilot Thank you so much for the reply. So the A320 would follow all the constraints if you leave it in managed speed and altitude mode.
Well here is my puzzlement. It doesn't!
At first I thought it was a bug in my set up but then I saw your video and realized that the same happens with your flight.
At 0:55, the plane (although in managed mode) ignored the TOD mark and it only started to descent at 1:38 when you manually changed the altitude to 6000ft
If you don't change it yourself, the plane will continue flying at this altitude until you reach the airport and then you have to spiral your way down in order to land
(a maneuver known as the "Baghdad" approach) :D
Please forgive my ignorance but being obsessed with such a complicated system (at least for an amateur) as the Airbus A320, produces a lot of frustration.
Thanks again
@@stefstaf Although I'm new to the A320 I haven flown VNAV/Managed descents in other aircraft. With what you're describing, it's important to note that the aircraft will fly to the highest of either the altitude set via the selector knob, or the altitude in the F-Plan. Your altitude selection needs to be equal to or lower than that of the F-Plan constraints for the plane to begin descending. If your constraint is FL120 but your altitude selector has been dialled to FL150, then your plane won't begin a descent to FL120 at the TOD.
Similarly, for the Go Around, you need to dial your altitude, as you're on your landing course, to the altitude constraint defined by the Go Around procedure charts. Otherwise the plane will misbehave during a go around. At least this is how it behaves in the Cessna Citation Longitude.
Wonderful
What an amazing tutorial, thank you! Trying to locate your tuts on minimums and what categories to select as I didn't understand that concept. Could you share the video title or link.

Why you did not idle the throttle for descending?
No video about taxing to the gate and shutdown procedures?
I think it was a glitch but everything was going so well on my first flight with the fenix a320, I was on short final for runway 27 at EHAM doing an ils approach I set flaps 3 then all of a sudden I had a flap limitation issue where I couldn’t go above 160knots or under 145 knots. Either way it disconnects the autopilot at 2800ft and the plane just went crazy. Auto thrust wasn’t working properly so I had to try and regain stability of the plane as it seemed like it was stalling. I tried to put on the auto throttle and auto pilot but wouldn’t work before eventually losing control and smashing it down on the runway which ended the flight as it destroyed the gear
Go around
@@EldarKhaitov wasn’t possible
great videos , are you a real pilot? Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Question; did you land with Flap 2? Is that becouse the plane wasn't fully loaded?
Hello….unless i missed this video,have you mentioned how to set Tod in the fenix 320 and how to calculate rings like in the a32nx? If already mentioned. Can you direct me to those videos? Thank you
As I’m watching this for 10th time or so.. 😂😂 I noticed that when you entered in your destination data, more specifically your Decision Hight 1360 in the MCDU Under BARO.. the PFD shows “MDA 1360” instead of “BARO 1360” why is that?!
Thank you!
i miss the shutdown tutorial here.. For some reason always all bells and whistles go off with my endings after starting the APU and shutting down the engines when i'm back at the gate.
My plane didn’t have an iPad a descended at 3000 vs do you know what could be wrong?
where do you get the TOP of decent?
So are you usually selecting localizer before selecting approach?
You can if you wish, or you can just put the APPR on straight away. Makes no difference until the GS comes into play. Of course if the GS is INOP, then you'll only be able to use LOC.
Thanks as always capt. I just want to one ask question. Why sometimes randomly after landing i retract the flaps up the plane start sounding alarm a warn, on ecam showing to flaps or speed not set. The alarm shut off till i config a flaps one. Any idea?
Thank you so much for this series, Gavin! When I landed the last time, shortly after touching down, the the Fenix started to accelerate by itself and was barely controllable on the ground. What could have caused that, do you know?
Did you idle the engines?
@@austriankangaroo it was exact that! I found out too in the meantime, i.e. I did NOT go on idle
@@madsib5187 Ah nice, I figured i‘d write just in case
@@austriankangaroo I appreciate that, thank you!
Can you not just add the ZFW and the EFOB together for the landing weight?
Yes.
Thank you for this series, got me all sorted and up in the air from EGKK to GMAD. TCA captains pack all working well simbrief and navigraph so thank you. Just one question had to land manually as I had a flashing yellow ILS light and no guidance so don’t know what I did wrong. I activated approach phase so don’t know what I did. Any advice thank you or if you have a general idea where I went wrong
Did you put your LS button on? It’s located near the Flight director
@@itsdelex4902 thank you that is exactly what I had missed 😂
Great! Good to know it’s all sorted 😀
Very much enjoying the series. The list says there are two hidden videos. How do I access these ?
Yes, I'm not sure why. There aren't, I promise 😂
Do you always have to use AP 2 on a ILS approach?
Usually, then with both engaged one is there for redundancy.
one question, when at 700/600 feet I disconnect the autopilot the autoland alarm is off. How come? A thousand thanks
Ensure that your autopilot disconnect button is bound to AUTOPILOT OFF in the MSFS settings and not AUTOPILOT TOGGLE ON/OFF
@@Easyjetsimpilot ok thanks does it also apply if I click the AP button in the cockpit with the mouse?
Hi Gavin, another question, if you don't mind: Sometimes, the route displayed on the ND shows a blue line behind the airport where I want to land, i.e. a few more waypoints that I did not add myself and that I cannot get rid of. What are these, do you know? Many thanks 😊
Yes these are the Go Around track. 👍
@@Easyjetsimpilot oh, I didn't know. Thank you!
I don't understand. In the previous video you planned your landing with "IDLE/NO REV", yet now you are using the reversers, why is that?
Because for planning you use NO Rev - but in reality, you'd use rev idle usually which will slow you down quicker. It's about having an extra margin of safety.
I've given up on the Fenix, the autopilot won't engage
Do you know why i get cat 3 upper PFD for a normal ILS no cat 3 ?
The FMA is only showing the aircraft's capability, not the runways.
what's the difference between LOC and ILS? Can AP autoland LOC?
LOC captures the localiser only so will not decend with the Glideslope.
Does it matter how hard you touchdown
As long as you're under around - 500fpm, no. Over this then you might require a gear inspection before the next flight.
Most important is centerline and landing in the touchdown zone.
Why do some use the first temp of the two, and others use the second of the two. In this video he used 20 from the 20/04
If you can time stamp I'll try and explain.
5:08
Ive seen others use the second number, so I just want to clarify which is correct to use, or are their circumstances when the second number is used. Thanks
@@jay-rus4437 Ahhh OK. The first number is the temperature, the second number is the Dew Point (the temperature at which the air can no longer hold water so it begins to condense). When the dew point and temperature are the same, mist and fog start to develop.
Can someone tell me why when I disengage autopilot on final approach, say 500ft, the master warning goes off and wont stop. So I have to look down and hit the cancel manually? Its very distracting when landing. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Thank you for the videos. While I certainly appreciate, and watch, nearly all of 320 Sim Pilot videos, you are actually easier to follow for us beginners. Both of your channels are fantastic, so I watch both multiple times, but have just taken notice of this over the past couple months.
why are you not using fsrealistic?
This was filmed before its release.
Hi i've got a problem, at about 15,000 feet the aircraft starts to descend really slow so im then really high on the approach. How do you fix it?
