1. activate the aircondition packs after takeoff, thats the reason why it was always showing aircondition pack 1+2 off on the upper ecam (the display in the middle) you can do that at the overhad panel, these switches should be pretty easy to find, the should be the only switches which are off, so there should be a white light on them 2. set the thrustlever to climb as soon as the writing LVR CLB appers on the PFD(Primary Flight Display, the display with the artificial horizon on it) 3. set the QNH to Standard as soon as the writing QNH starts to flash on the PFD, do that by pushing the QNH knob, thats the one on the very left and the very right at the autopilot panel. The reason why you couldn't turn on the auto pilot was that the heading was set to automatic, you can see that by the dot next to the heading, and there was no flight plan, you can change that by pulling the heading knob
packs left off, autobrake on max for landing (pilots never use max for landing), and too early of a touchdown. Considering you are a private pilot, you did a great job, especially with navigation. can't wait to see more!
Beautiful job!!! I did that back in 1995 in the Delta Flight Training Center. I had only 20 hours logged at the time and took off and landed a 727 sim. One of the best days of my life! :) Again, congrats man!!
Brilliant job nice video. I am not PPL but once flew a 747 sim that belonged to british airways at an airshow. I was a little disappointed to discover it was just microsoft flight sim on a big screen with very nice controls. My PPL friend was with me and bounced the thing down the runway. I greased it on. He was very pissed off and wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day. Years later I was best man at his wedding and in my speech I explained that the approach we made into heathrow was one I had done a 1000 times on the same flight sim at home so it was easy for me. To be completely fare to him I was flying the sim he was flying the plane and the sim didn't react quiet as the real thing would but it didn't stop me taking the mickey out of him for years. I remember asking what time he was going to put in his log book for the landing 10 mins past 11 mins past or maybe 12 mins past. Then I would sing "like a rubber ball I come bouncing back to you BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY." Well done on a nice flight and brilliant landing. FDO
Pretty good job considering you didn't know any of the systems. The Airbus is really designed to be flown in managed flight. And the mcdu is the key to making that happen. Without it however you were likely to struggle. Again, I'm impressed with what you achieved considering.....
Single un-rated pilot doing that well AND handling ATC COM instructions with no first officer?!!! Excellent job man!!!! I would have more than flashing warnings. I'd have crashed!
That was a great vid & I admire you for doing it. From coming from a private pilot flying a A320 i think it shows how little we respect the pilots who take us on our holidays. Maybe other viewers will think the same. all the best in your future adventures......................
Bloody well considering you had no Co-Pilot as well as no training on this! Oh and about the auto-brakes, to be honest, Airbus system doesn't allow selecting autobrakes Max for landing for the A320- it's one of those protections. Also, we cancel any aural warnings/cautions by pressing the same master warning/caution button. Great job!
When I was at OSU our Alpha Eta Rho aviation frat somehow managed to do a field trip own to Delta's training hub in Atlanta and we all got a turn in a full motion sim of a MD-88 (or an MD-8, can't hardly remember). They set us up around 5 miles from the airport starting already on the glideslope and centerline so wasn't really a hard challenge (though some of the members still borked it up a bit). The experience of it due to the full motion was pretty amazing. Was a lot more effective than I thought it would be.
at the NAS oceana F/A 18 simulator i was able to do a carrier landing on the first attempt, ive never flown in my life. impressed my commander doing it too
Just watch a video about a fellow in England, landing the Cessna 172, after his friend..the pilot DIED. It was very dicey. All I can say is if the crew is disabled, and YOU are the only "experienced pilot", I'd be happy to have you in charge! Good work Mate! Have a Guiness on me!
I've never flown a Heavy, but was given the opportunity to fly the brand new, state of the art C-5 Galaxy Simulator. 4 other pilots with me, and NO ONE would take left chair. "Make Jim do it!!! I'm not going to be the guy to crash this thing!" So I DID! I got her up, through a TINY bit of weather and back down again, and NO damage! Incredibly overwhelming cockpit, but Flight Instructor Bob talked me through it (Thanks, Bob!!). I've never worked so hard or sweat so much. Now I'VE got the hanger braggin' rights... BOOM!!! Mic Drop!
I did an hour in the left seat of a B237 700 series simulator including takeoff, climb, cruise, descent and landing. I did have an instructor beside. me. I too am a private pilot (1500 hours) and worked on these aircraft for many years as an avionics technician. It was very enjoyable and all the sequences worked out well. Through the years i have flown many times in the cockpit with airline pilots and have always admired their skills and cockpit management.
Great landing mate! Much better than my first landing during my tr years back! The automation on the 320 is a tad little different than the ones on the conventional airplanes out there. So there would have been no way you would have figured it out without some instructions!With my little experience as a first officer on the a320 fleet now i would say that you did a really good job there!
I have only used a Boeing 737 simulator, but gotta say A320 is damn stabilized.I have heard that when rudder is used , the effect of bank is counteracted by the plane itself by applying aileron.In Boeing 737, you'd had to do that manually. To activate the autopilot,you should have had your FD on and removed the toggles from managed mode.
SO grateful to have come across this. Can't believe I've been living 20 mins away from a Sim experience all these years since I didn't complete my PPL but still always wanted a big jet SIM experience & never thought I'd be able to get one as most are fully booked for professionals. Not sure I'd have the nerve to do it now tho watching this - not keen on making a fool of myself (unlike Ben!) :)
Haven't flown in years, but I can say its enjoyable to watch you at the controls. Just imagine, fatigue, strong winds, darkness and driving rain and trying to land manually.! And 59 pounds is basically a pretty good price for the simulator. I was quoted 490 RMB in a city in China to fly the a320 simulator .. so similar pricing.
I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't turn the flight directors off for you. The 320 is great for hand flying, you were just in constant battle with the FMGC and the aircraft trying to help you.
Tried to take of with an A320 in FSX not sure i bet i had missed something cause the throttles kept going back to idle when i let them go :) bit more stuff than the normal Cessna for sure.
It was exciting thatching you , your'e clever and flew it like a sports car and it must be quite more to fly a 320 than a solo. I'll come with you to steal one and you fly it all over town . You even landed the thing. Thanks
Bro u did a good job, you don't even have any instructions and also not connected to the tower, I have realized that there is no Squawk code written on the right of the throttle, good, now waiting for another video.
this lad was only a private rated pilot. He was right on the localizer and in the flight director where it should be He did a fantastic job of staying calm and flying the aircraft first and not being distracted by buzzers and other warning devices. This is a natural talent bestowed on the male gender. This young man flew an almost perfect instrument approach. If he can fly this good with no training just think how great a captain he will be with the proper systems and simulator training. All of you knit pickers about not following this and that particular procedure, I would like to see you do better. Who ever you are young man you have what we call in the airline industry " the touch". You have been blessed with it now do something with it.
While once you know how all the bells and whistles work it makes it much easier, without auto on, all you really needed was basic flaps info, speed and gear out then just fly the plane.
After seeing the auto-generated closed captions, I don't feel so bad about failing to understand every third word in the narration. Other than that bit of regionally challenged comprehension, I quite enjoyed your video.
pat on the back old boy! You could have slowed down earlier when still at 2500 with speed brakes then flaps1 then flaps 2 and gear down if still fast..speedbrakes closed by 1000 ft and avoid descent rates higher than 1000 fpm.Whenever you hear a chime or click there is something not properly configured or is not logical ..so they are visual and aural cues.Good job otherwise.Oh cabin altitude warning ceases once you descend below 10,000 which it did.You set landing altitude for pressurization via FMS and Pressurization controller to dump pressurization.
1. activate the aircondition packs after takeoff, thats the reason why it was always showing aircondition pack 1+2 off on the upper ecam (the display in the middle) you can do that at the overhad panel, these switches should be pretty easy to find, the should be the only switches which are off, so there should be a white light on them
2. set the thrustlever to climb as soon as the writing LVR CLB appers on the PFD(Primary Flight Display, the display with the artificial horizon on it)
3. set the QNH to Standard as soon as the writing QNH starts to flash on the PFD, do that by pushing the QNH knob, thats the one on the very left and the very right at the autopilot panel.
The reason why you couldn't turn on the auto pilot was that the heading was set to automatic, you can see that by the dot next to the heading, and there was no flight plan, you can change that by pulling the heading knob
its not automatic heading, its called NAV mode
packs left off, autobrake on max for landing (pilots never use max for landing), and too early of a touchdown. Considering you are a private pilot, you did a great job, especially with navigation. can't wait to see more!
Thank you, Ethan!
The A/C packs off was causing the cabin alt warning when you climbed above 10k. Quite a good flight all round
To be honest, Airbus system doesn't allow selecting autobrakes Max for landing for the A320- it's one of those protections.
@@windshearahead7012 What do you know about Ethan?

As a330 trainee this got me laughing
The view outside was fantastic. That is one immersive simulator.

I have flown that simulator and it is the best fun. Intellectual challenging, immersive and worth every penny.
7:30 the bank angle tho
No big deal at 45degrees
You're just a CPL, multi engine, MCC and ATPL away from getting a job for an airline. And me thinks you'll be pretty good at it.
or just the ATPL?
That is $100k in expenses

Any landing you can walk away from, is agood one. Brilliant work,mate.👍😊

Yeah the old bloke. By the end I was just like, my god man, just find the stall horn and then set it down a little hotter than that.
Wow! It must have been a nice feeling to but that ship on the ground.
Well done! Terrific video.
That was a savage landing infairness
Wow awesome, from take-off to landing. The approach was intense, very nice!
"Parking brake off, slammers to max, v1 ro-ta-tay, check this out boys"
Nice job sauce boss
Reeeadyyyy hit it
I can hear airforceproud saying that
Ayy... Shut Up Bitch!
I prefer parking brake on, throttle to max, wait for engines to cook and the plane begins to creep, then release
That cockpit is sooo clean

I think you are ready if the pilot and copilot pass out on your next commercial flight. You can save the day!!!!
brief glimpse of Newtownards airport
You did really well considering.
i would have used the autothrust at 140 to land with gear and full flaps and youre good
Why aren't landing gear tires made to be already spinning when they meet the pavement?
Extra equipments will b needed and they increases the weight of the plane
@@epiccars5440 that wouldn't be a good thing. you'd spin out, especially in winter climates
@@thegirlwiththekittytattoo1756 yup thats another reason. Good one
@ Cotronixco
The wear is still higher at heavy take-off, so this wouldn't help much.
It has been tried and rejected because of too much gyroscopic effect(reducing maneuverability).
Nice go around and landing!!!
Tell ya what mate that landing Was pretty damn good from what I could see fair play ta ya
+Barnem13 thanks a lot, I'm pleased you enjoyed it!
Awesome attempt and only one go, with full training you would make a Commercial Pilot 🛩
