- In this video, I will provide you with the basics of flight planning using the Airbus MCDU. I will show you how to manually enter a flight plan into the MCDU and configure the aircraft for departure. For the purpose of this video, we will be using the FSLabs A320 as the aircraft, and simbrief for the flight planning.

As someone who just bought the Toliss A340, and I'm only used to the XFMC for Boeing aircraft, you have no idea how much I needed this tutorial. THANK YOU. Simple and clear for an amateur like me!
Great to hear!
THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am right about to take off with this Lufthansa A320 in Frankfurt to Buenos Aires, Don´t know what to do, I got this job as pilot lying in my CV. I asked ChatGPT "How fly big plane" and no clue. My mother knows about everything but has no clue either. My checklist so far is: 1) Check that the doors are closed 2) Check that there is nobody in front of me 3) Check that there is food because it is a 14 hours flight. 4) Check in Google Maps where is Buenos Aires, in which direction, left or right or what I am a believer of learning by doing.
LOL, check that all passengers have their tickets too.
Thanks for watching. Join me this evening at 1800z for a very detailed Airbus a320 tutorial stream.
This is an excellent tutorial, especially for someone like me who is relatively new in flying the A320 sim. I made the mistake of trying to dive into the A32NX mod, and was quickly overwhelmed by the massive amount of procedures and knowledge required. My plan is to first get up to speed with the stock A320neo sim, gradually taking over more and more functions before moving on to the A32NX mod. Entering the flight plan by hand is a great way to learn the basics.
Glad it helped!
I switched from the 737 to the a320 just now thought it would be the same as the 737 but damm lol it feels like starting over again
yeah same
Maxelgg the boeing was easy and simple but the a320 is way to advanced
As a Boeing man (747-200, 400 and 737-800), I was fortunate enough to get a session in the A320 sim. It’s a different type of flying, but the whole fly-by-wire and dark cockpit concept was good and quite intuitive. Until we got to the MCDU... Boeing system definitely better laid out and easier to work with.
relatable :(
OMG.....Me too. Have to learn how to operate this MCDU 😬
Thanks so much! Was able to do my first full msfs flight! I did a330-900neo by headwind from New York - Sint Maarten!
Many many thanks. I have avoided fms until now as my emphasis has been to become a pilot. However there are two more steps -1. to programme fmc,s with the SID/WAYPOINTS /STAR, then having mastered the skills needed, to go to 2. the ATC experience (which still slightly terrifies me). Fortunately you have created all the tutorials I need on my path of discovery, and I will go through these in order until,I can master the full art of being a pilot. AGAIN - MANY THANKS.
I have never had the flight plan explained so thank you for going through that info. Very helpful.
I’m pretty late 😂 Buy it helped me out so much, especially When I also fly from Copenhagen many times! Thx
I love your tutorials...good voice volume and good pace...thank you. This is also the first tutorial on the ToLiss which I was able to follow and you are very clear in your instructions...once again, I thank you very much.
Thank you very much. I had been looking forward to this route only today and the flight plans were a bit confusing. You have guided me well to attempt myself at the next oppertunity soon.
I am glad this was helpful for you. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for your tutorial!! It helped really much. Im new at flight simming and now I understand how to make a flight plan and load it in MCDU! Thanks
Thanks for this! Been over a year or two since I flew the A320 and this helped a lot
9:42 the frantic search for the z key was an unexpectedly suspenseful twist
Quite an eloquent description of an unworthy event =)
Best Video presentation I have ever seen. It was v. useful and many many thanks to the originator.
Good teacher! You should add a MTO map on EIFIS and explain how to avoid storms without deconnecting FMS as it was made by AF 447 pilots who were badly teached ! The F.M.S protect the aircraft inside a "flight envelope" in order to avoid stall on high altitude.I tell you that because I programmed FMS at AIRBUS in 1982 and I am involved in aeronautical security and ENAC alumni.
thank you for this video I had been having issues with this I have save it in my favorites for review. Iv'e been looking for a video that could help
Well done as always Captain. Nice of you to show the shortcut filling in the flight plan. Neat little trick to know. Take care and happy flying!
Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed the video =)
Extremely clear and well appreciated.. Would u consider to do a video how you will fly the a320 thru' the flight plan loaded... and potentially how to modify in flight in case of last minute rwy change?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I think I should classify you channel as channel as one of the best after Matt Davies :) And Ive been a good subscriber of yours for quite some months now. 😆😆
FMC 25 Flight Sim Thank you for your kind words. coming right after Matt is very flattering =)
Thanks
can you please make a video on executing hold and breaking from hold on automatic or fixed locations and what is involved around holdings with the mcdu? thanks man for your time. your videos are number one
selvfølgelig letter du fra din hjemme Airport!
Thanks =)
Very helpful.....did you do a more advanced one? If u did I can't seem to find it. Thanks.
would you be able to do a video of how to set up your panel for take off and how to set up when in the air? I been having some issues trying to get the plane to climb fly straight and level ect. I can not seem to get it correct. I under stood everything here in this video as I followed along with you on my A320 thank you
I love the xplane 11 Airbus jar desine
Ugh I wish my MCDU programming went so smooth. Tried programming a flight from Regina Intl to Calgary Intl in Canada and have 2nd time now where the approach final is at a high too steep elevation. Not sure what is happening there.
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
Nice one Osamah. And I'm so glad you picked Sweden - my country - in this one. Would be even nicer if you also did the flight :) And then you only have a short 45 minutes flight to my home airport ESNZ.
Hey there buddy, will be doing a flight soon to Arlanda, a beautiful airport and country =)
Thank you so much!!! You are such a great help!!!
Most welcome buddy!
Thank you for the tutorial :-)) Very good demonstration.. Thumps up!
Where did you get the EKCH scenery?
You should mention which are the criteria’s behind a specific mcdu runway and star choice, same speech for transitions if required. Reality vs simulation may involve ATC vs simulated ATC or arbitrary choice based upon own criteria.
Another difference between Boeing and Airbus fmc is the usage of arrows which acts like a “ touch screen “ direction on the bus while the act “ normally “ on the Boeing fmc.
Mark Fosseth Runway and sid are provided by ATC based on wind direction and airway for destination.
Q8Pilot yep in the reality but within a sim ? A beginner should learn it in a dedicated tutorial imho
Mark Fosseth In the sim just follow what the flight plan tells you =)
Q8Pilot .....assuming a beginner knows how to fill a flight plan into the mcdu, this leads back to my first comment but you are too much expert to consider noobs, too much elitarist for me, even if I know how to fill a flight plan into the bus mcdu.
I believe this tutorial is more for your ego than for supposed learners, anyway no problem.
Thanks for another great video captain.
Thanks for watching buddy!
Hello,
what is the difference between
this method and the method
which you used in the video for vienna to london with the A330?
like just inserting the star for departure runway and arrival runway
Great video Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this nice video !
Thanks for watching Paul!
Love your tutorial. Question: How do you obtain SID/STAR charts? I have a membership with Navigraph, but I can't seem to figure out how or where to grab those.
You prob didn't get the correct subscription, there is 2. One for the navdata only and the other for navdata and charts
Nice video, thank you! A Q, if I may: I'm no pro pilot but I always thought the flaps setting and flex temp needs to be set before the V speeds are calculated? Cheers.
David Relich hey David...what you are saying is true for the MD80 and other aircraft. Newer aircraft in general don't need that.
Horrendously late reply, but the Airbus should auto calculate V speeds based on the flap selection.
@@TitaniusAnglesmith Thanks! Better late than never, haha!
I Am Flying The A321neo In FSX Steam Edition. I Hope This Video Helps Me File The Flight Plan & Use The VPilot Software.
Great and informative.
Glad you found this useful Chris!
Reminder 🤔🤔🤔 since there is very little videos to find on the underlaying features in the Neo MCDU
Thanks for the video! I'm still having issues adding DCT waypoints. I don't have a clue about how to do it. : /
GameAddict on the flight plan page....emter the waypoint in place of a disco. it should go in as direct.
great job!
Thanks =)
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Nice video, question; why you didnt enter the trim settings on the PERF page, I see you only entered the flap setting 1 but no up or down trim settings. This is not really needed or whats the reason please. Thanks.
Glad to see you get more subscribers everyday .....like I said before.... I learn most from your tutorials ,since your videos are real tutorials
and you do not draw the attention towards your personal 'cult status' .I have a request ....right now I am learning the MCDU in Airbus ...will you do a subsequent video on the more sub pages like ,ILS ,phase, radios and more?Please please.
Hey there Jan, thank you for your kind words. I will plan this for the coming days for sure. No worries!
perfect, thanx
How come you cant use inbuilt flight planner in fsx ?? Is that just gps
Hi, Q8 Pilot; thank you for your excelent video, one of the best explained I have see about the FMC.
One question: making a flight on the A320FF, after loading the FMC with Simbrief, on a flight LEMD-LEBL, I can not insert the first point of the Star said by Simbrief, because the FMC did not find it, so I had to insert another similar show on the FMC. ¿It is really good what I had done or I can do anything else?
Did you check your AIRAC cycle?
Nice video
Thanks!
Subbed!
Welcome to my channel my friend =)
Hi please how do you input your serial number into the MCDU not just me having problems with that lots of people a little video on that will be helpful thanks
How to save this route as a company route?
Do u have any video that shows how to use sim brief with A320 for x plane 11?
During check back my planning course the descent arrow does not appear. Appears during flight when i pressing descent buton. What's going wrong. Aerosoft A320 V1.0!
I tried the from/to, but it says "not allowed".
Kilo Alpha One same
Is this xplane or prepar3d
Hi, what do purple stars mean in the F-PLN ? thanks
How can you tell your cost index is 20?
Hallo ,wie kann ich beim A 320 neo meine gespeicherten Flüge benutzen ! Ich habe Xplane 11 auf Mac und der Flieger ist von Jar Design
How do you know what u gonna depart through (kema1f) and same for approach how do you know which approach to select?
*approach u select the star
I have an issue with my MCDU in flight factor A320, it gives me GPS PRIMARY LOST, How can I fix it? any help please
Can a flight plan be stored on a thumb drive or disk to be used again by uploading the data on to the mcdu at a later date?
Yes
No, I have been consulting simbrief and following your data
qawareer looks like your aircraft nav database is not the same version you are using on simbrief. hence the discrepancy.
Getting a 404 error when I try to download the dropbox link
Great video! What software do you use to simulate the A320?
That looks like prepar3d
Can you show me how to calculate the cost index?
It isn't calculated, it is provided by the airline for the pilots to enter for each flight.
@@Q8Pilot understood thanks 👍🏾
Hi when I just bought jar designs a320. On the MCDU when I try to enter the departure and arrival airports it says: "arr/dep airport not found" I've looked everywhere and can't find help. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Oliver Holden same here any advice @Q8 Pilot
mine isnt numbers for the part you said Z226,its letters?
Hello freind, how can I get these charts is there any program do that or you downloaded it from internet
hey man, where u make your flight plans? sorry for my english, is really bad
I use simbrief
@@Q8Pilot Ok, Thanks
Excuse me , what the website or application do you use for planning and find the routes .? And does it work on FSX
You probably know by now but it’s SimBrief and it works on FSX
Strangely when I enter NILUG the mcdu says it is not in the database and hence does not proceed further, please help
Do you have the latest Nav database?
When i load my simbrief i cant find a sid
If you load your fpl from simbrief it will not auto load the SIDs, STARs, you have to manually select the departure and arrival runways and the SIDs, STARs.
Seth2413 ok
I cant find anything to select my sids and stars
Cocoa Bean you do it via the MCDU (FMS). Id suggest you search TH-cam for videos on how to do this, there are lots of videos. The A320 MCDU is very different in lots of ways to the 737 FMC for example. The manual from the FF A320 also will also assist.
Cocoa Bean I just realized where I’m replying to you from. This actual video explains it in excellent detail!! Watch it, it will show you.
I was using this method but
My flight plan looks wrong it's have like 2 way points
So I just enter the star of departure and arrival runway
Maybe because this is not Xplane
If it does not work like it is here, then the FMS you are using is not modeled correctly.
ok then what is the difference between
this method and the method
which you used in the video for vienna to london with the A330?
like just inserting the star for departure runway and arrival runway
It says not in database
Why is your name q8 pilot
Why does this not work on the xbox.
Because on xbox the full functions of MCDU are not simulated.
Which sim?
P3D
Boeing’s FMS much more understandable then Airbus MCDU ...🤕
Mcdu Haha nice name ;)
Boeing is A LOT easier to use. But nice Video. But please give us more time to see where you're clicking at, the next time.
Thanks for watching! Where did I go too fast for you to see what I did. I will correct that moving forward.
Everytime when you klick a Button. Just give us some more time to See which Button you are klicking.
Whtsands
So difficult.
globetrotter yeah and people say airbus is easier. Boeing’s FMC is so much easier
like the rest poor explaining
