The best tutorial I have seen so far. And yes it doesn't get more hardcore than selected selected on a DME ARC 😂 I have been on the bus for 4000 hours and have done it exactly once.
You are doing a great job. Me and my friends just did a complete transition learning from your videos. This is great service to aviation. And let me mention that your enthusiasm is contagious.
Thank you very much for your kind words! If our videos are contributing back to the aviation community then our goal is met! :) The enthusiasm comes from pure passion for aviation and 21 years of flying these amazing machines! 😁✌🏽
From radial to intercept an arc use a 10% of your ground speed with a standard turn an you’ll be on your arc. To maintain is useful to let the tail drop 5 degrees down and the place it 5 degrees up and repeat it. Excelente job as always
Hi Capt,thank you for putting out the tutorial. Its really helped me to understand better. Video request,could you please do a video with multi angle on landing technique with emphasis on flare? I try to understand better on progressively flare until main gear touch down.
Very instructive and well done as usual Captain! What's the practical precision (tolerance) admitted on an DME ARC ? I've red somewhere plus or minus 4 Nm which seems very large.
Hey Paul, Can you DM us your email or contact us via WhatsApp we’ll share some material with you that will help you understand the EFIS panel in full detail. 😁👍🏽
Yea as soon as you pass through the waypoint and move onto the next provided there is no constraint on the next or a different one it changes immediately
Question - when flying VOR and especially DME ARC approaches, does the aircraft actually only depend on information it gets from the VOR/DME station or does it "cheat" and still use GPS/IRS in the process. So in other words, is it still basically doing RNAV just following a track planned according to the published VOR procedure. Could it still do a VOR/DME ARC approach if both IRS and GPS were INOP?
It’s either or, if you choose to do it via the mcdu with preprogrammed waypoints and constraints it can, the VOR DME station is there more as a back up and reference for the pilots in there event the mcdu fails we can always fall back to using the raw data from the dme station. This is considered a Non precision approach so the more data you can add to it the better. Hope this helps :)
@@waypointsaviation So by default it's technically (from the aircrafts perspective, not formally) the same as an RNAV approach that simply follows the VOR/DME arc approach route? In other words of you fly a VOR approach it's not ignoring all navigation information except what it gets from the NAV radio.
Let’s put it this way, if you’re flying the aircraft in “selected mode” you’d be referencing the VOR/DME info from the nav radio, if you fly in managed mode then the ac can use digital info in the mcdu to navigate Hope this helps :)
Did you secretly put in the 2000 constraint off camera during the managed decent in the MCDU at RAV/13? ;) It said 1800 and I could hear the keys click and suddenly it changed to 2000 :) Regardless, thanks for the great video, I was really struggling with VOR approaches in the A320 and this really helped. Now it is my understanding that IRL one would rarely fly a full approach but rather vector (to the FAF if my understanding is correct). Would it be possible to do a video on that?
Hey, It’s not a secret anymore is it?! 🤣 yes I had to put it in because in FS2020 or rather the model being used in FS2020 has a small bug where it doesn’t always pick up on the constraints unless you plug them in manually. This is something I try to combat behind the scenes :) in the real ac thankfully it works as intended. Glad you enjoyed and found the video helpful, could you be more specific on what you want us to demonstrate next?
@@waypointsaviation I understand, I guess you should always check if the mcdu restraints match those on the charts right? What I meant with my suggestion for a next video, comes from a discussion with several pilots. After discussing approaches(VOR specifically) they all said that they rarely fly the full approach but that they always vector in somewhere along the approach. Is this something you'd be able to demonstrate?
Depends from time to time and traffic inbound to the airport at the time, sometimes they’ll vector you in to final sometimes they would ask you to follow the procedure it’s all very situational. In most cases they vector you to the FAF (final approach fix) so they can get traffic in and on the ground asap
@Iamaware111 in the A320 usually on the mcdu we just select the hold from present position or at a specific waypoint Atc wants us to hold at and it programs it in for us. We then see it on the ND and follow accordingly, we almost never use the VOR Rose. Is this something you’ve been asked to do during training specifically for the 320? Or is this a request to brush up on instrument flying?
It’s from a manufacturer called Poldragonet and the one we have which is a fully functional complete cockpit can set you back almost a 100000$ or more and that doesn’t include the cost of computers, software and so on. They’re expensive but worth every penny 😁

One of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Thank you!
I'm sure many guys are really excelling and putting their all into sharing their part.
I feel honored and appreciate your kind words.
Very clear and full of informations. So many thanks! 🙏 from France 🇫🇷
Bonjour! Merci pour votre commentaire! nous sommes ravis que la vidéo vous ait plu !

Thanks for the tips!
The Chapter Thingy?
Thank you once again for the entertaining tutorial.
😁✌🏽
Needed this! Will watch the video in a few hours whilst practicing on the lovely Fenix A320!
Awesome! Hope you find it useful!
Back to the basics VOR 👍👍
Hope you like it!
And another top of the charts you tube A320 video.👍
Glad you liked it!
One for the algorithm. Insightful videos. Keep them coming !
More to come! Thanks for being part of the channel! :)
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
loving your video's very good and informative. I'm a huge Airbus fan. Thank you
Glad you like them!
If im ever visiting Dubai, i'll book a session in this cockpit simulator, this beats my 17 inch laptop anyday.
Big thank you 🙏
You’re the best . Thanks a lot !
Thank You for your kind words! Appreciate it!
Great tutorial, thanks!
Thanks! 🙏🏽 Glad it was helpful!
1:10:36 Cap, why do we want to add a 10degree every time. Can't i take a bigger angle and create the waypoint every 30degree?
Request Learning videos on Eng Fire just after V1 and Emergency Descent. Best regards
Sure we will do it
Hi Capt,thank you for putting out the tutorial. Its really helped me to understand better. Video request,could you please do a video with multi angle on landing technique with emphasis on flare? I try to understand better on progressively flare until main gear touch down.
Hello,
Thanks for your comment, we're glad the Video helped you. Sure, we can work on a Landing Video... Good Idea! :)
Very instructive and well done as usual Captain!
What's the practical precision (tolerance) admitted on an DME ARC ? I've red somewhere plus or minus 4 Nm which seems very large.
does a VOR approach require a STAR, and can I bypass the VOR waypoint if a STAR leads me past e.g NADN2E STAR.
A request please. The dial showing LS, VOR, NAV, ARC, PLAN. Some are obvious but would like to know when you would use each of them. Thanks !!
Hey Paul,
Can you DM us your email or contact us via WhatsApp we’ll share some material with you that will help you understand the EFIS panel in full detail. 😁👍🏽
When a waypoint has a speed constraint does the constraint go away right after it passes that point or some distance from it?
Yea as soon as you pass through the waypoint and move onto the next provided there is no constraint on the next or a different one it changes immediately
Thank you bro
most welcome brother
It looks so easy when you do it. When i trying to do it... Its another story 😅

Yeah usually we’re vectored to the FAF and then we do the descent I can demonstrate this
In which instances this DME ARC is used

@@waypointsaviationthank you so much. Descriptive explanation
Hi.. could you make a video entering holding pattern n flying the hold using needles. Thank you.
Hi,
By needles you mean the VOR Rose screen? Please specify
Yes VOR rose
@Iamaware111 in the A320 usually on the mcdu we just select the hold from present position or at a specific waypoint Atc wants us to hold at and it programs it in for us.

Bro how much this flight simulator cost. And how can we buy this

@@waypointsaviation in this much money I can become real pilot 🤣
Exactly!
