- Today, we're taking an in-depth dive into the Operation of the Airbus A320 Side-Stick, and we'll go over the technique of how to safely land the A/C on the Runway. Keep in mind, every Landing is going to be different, this technique is just a guide on what to look out for when attempting a Landing.
We'll be performing these exercises at a holding point near Dubai International Airport, located in the United Arab Emirates (OMDB).

Man, I love your tutorials: no nonsense, straight to the point. I feel like you are talking pilot-to-pilot, and not filling the video with fluff. Best on the web!
Thank you, Sir. Appreciate your feedback
The best video in landing the Airbus A320 i understand. Thank you, Captain,
Glad you enjoyed it
Agreed! The only one I've seen explain to not continuously hold the sidestick. Explains why my landings always float or point me to the sky ;)
i agree with everyone else commenting on your tutorials that they are the best, most imformative videos on youtube. absolutely great for educational purposes! i am currently learning to fly the a321 neo only by simulators and yt tutorials, and both have gotten so good that i think i could actually fly the real version from cold and dark, to destination with all steps in between😀 obviously i will never get the chance to do so, but its nice to know the actual workload and procedures of the real pilots out there that we trust with our lives everytime we fly somwhere, thank you for great content👏
Much appreciate your kind words
Have been flying with a simple joystick before recently bought the thrustmaster airbus sidestick and have been really struggling with landing within 300fps. This video is really worth the watch...shall try it out.
New to flight sim; thank you so much for this tutorial - being able to see the stick in the video, the advice about small "pull and release" movements to 5 degrees at 50 feet; all that helped a lot and was a game changer to get my first decent flare and landing. As a newbie, I was trying to start everything at 30 feet which I think is the official recommendation, but I was having a hard time. 50 feet for now seems to give me some more breathing room to get the pitch right. Thanks again!
Finally a clear explanation. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Simply Outstanding!
Just transferring to 321 from another fleet , this exactly what I need .
Great job and thank you Capt
Thanks! All the best with 321!
This was what I needed to see to understand side stick operation. Best video I have seen Captain.
Thanks 🙏🏽 glad you found it useful
@@waypointsaviation😊
Very nice video Capt
Yes, I can only agree with that. Damn good course for perfect flair and not floating - Landing. Thank you. Very much.
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😁✌🏽
I just found your channel a few days ago and wow i love it! This is helping me out BIG time as i learn to fly the FBW A320. Keep up the great work...a new sub here.
Thanks So Much for Subscribing! Glad you find our Videos Useful!
You're such amazing at explaining this, Thank you!
Appreciate the positivity, your most welcome.
Looking forward to this one. Have real problems getting a smooth touchdown.😊
Hope this would help you with that :) it covers when to flare and how to properly fly using the joystick in conjunction with the flybywire system
thank you another great tutorial, and hopefully much better landings for me. thank you
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thank you once again captain!
My pleasure! As always good buddy!
Thank you for another brilliant tutorial captain 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tutorial video.
Thank you very much! 🙏🏽
Subbed. Your channel is so useful and easy to understand.
Thank you so much for subscribing! 🙏🏽👍🏽
Brilliant explanation. Can see why you are an instructor. One of your best tutorials.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏽
i will definatly try this pull and release! great technik inside as well! thank u!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Do lets us know how it works for you.
i first started to notice this "Balooning over the Runway" once i got my Airbus Hotas from Thrustmaster. Before that i was flying with the good old X52 Hotas from Saitec. Do to the Ergonomics of the Thrustlever it was Always righthand Stick, lefthand Lever. Now i have to get used to fly the Airbus with my left Hand ( i want to, i know i could switch the Buttons and make it like the Saitec was). Anyway i think this was in my Case the Reason of the Bad, long Landings! But the technical Inside on how the Airbus behaves and what to do helped me big Time. Stil not perfectly landed the Airbus, but way closer to the Touchdown zone. Thank You! @@waypointsaviation
As a new flight sim fan primarily playing around with the A320, this was frikkin GOLD. Thank you. Excellent video ❤
I fly the flybywire a320 neo in msfs202 and I have noticed that they model this pitch down at 30ft you mentioned. I've never quite gotten comfortable with the flare yet, though only very recently got an actual stick to work with. Will try this out in the future :)
Also, I see more and more that I need to invest in a physical FCU module 😅
Thanks! Glad it helped! Yeah having a physical FCU will be better to fly with.
Great video, wonderful presentation and great information. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work and God Bless.
Thank you so much! God Bless!
Very nice thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! 😁👍🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Capt. 👨✈️
You’re welcome Ruhi! 🙏🏽🤙🏽
thanks for the video, 😀
You're welcome 😊
Thanks once again for the opportunity to learn the flare and how best operate the side stick full marks Sir 👌
Thanks Steve! Glad you liked it!
wow… nice tutorials… auto subscribe!
This channel is so underrated
Thank You!
I recently saw one of those internet "researches", where it claimed that more than 40 or 50 percent of men, would feel confident to land a plane if asked to do so in a critical situation. I'm watching this video at 1a.m. and feel that it could even be a butter smooth landing 🤣
thank you
You're welcome ☺️
You are very illustrative and pleasant. Also, judging by the way you do it, you must also be a very good pilot.

Comment from a commercial pilot
Thank you Sir! Greatly appreciate the feedback.
Thank you so much. Could you make a crowsswind/wind shear video showing also the rudder action?
Hey,
Thanks for your comment, we can look into doing this, it would require more cameras to be mounted to capture the rudder input as well, but let's see what we can do. Crosswind landings can be the ultimate test of a Pilot's skill so it is a good idea to make a video about it. Stay tuned...
Awesome ! New Subscriber ! Now to practice my landings ! Great Video ! Thanks 👍🙏🏻❤️👨✈️✈️
Thanks for watching and Subscribing!
I can see where I’ve been going wrong in Xplane now.
I’ve been flying this bird (A330) like a Boeing with continuous inputs, which made it bloody hard to catch the glideslope and let alone flare it.
Cheers!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, glad you found the video useful! 😁✌🏽
Video Interessante, bravo . Grazie e ciao. ;)
Thank you so much appreciate it! 🙏🏽
Hope you'll make an organized a320 type rating preparation/training video course. Can't wait to buy one.
That's an intriguing suggestion.
I'll explore it further. Technically, combining and sequencing the videos in the channel could create a course tailored for a specific purpose.
Loved all your videos and content Capt. Way of explanation and clarity is awesome.😊😊 Please can you make a tutorial video on Flaps/Slats Fault/Locked especially the one with Alternate Law.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Sure this is a good idea and we will do it ✌🏽
@@waypointsaviation 🙏🏻thanks Capt
Sir thank you so much for the valuable explanation. Can you make a video about the traffic circuit, rejected takeoff, OEI takeoff, speed changes, ILS approach and other maneuvers in raw data expected at a simulator assessment during hiring process
Hi,
Please search through our tutorial videos you’ll find we’ve covered all these topics :)
Great video!!!New pilot a little question here：In the video you said “when you in the flare,you never pull and hold…”but at 30ft it will pitch down 2 degrees automatically in 8s,like a direct law,doesn’t that mean I need to pull and hold below 30ft ?🤔hope for the explanation,thank you
Excellent video! As always! And good one especific video to learn!
SO, flaps 3 config landing , apart from the airport noise recomendation or economic saves Fuel recomendation from companies, the landing with flaps 3 is use better in bad weather or strong winds?
Thanks! For all your videos! I see it as it was like an oustanding Netflix series ,because i know i 'm learning a lot from an expert in an outstanding simulator facilities like yours at Dubai.
it's a really gift for us. Thanks!
Thanks so much for your kind words, and YES you did bring up a very good point, in fact procedure recommends that in severe crosswinds with high gusts we are to use flaps 3 as it’s less drag coefficient helps with the situation.
Humbled by your kind words, Infact when I read the comments subscribers leave always motivates me to work harder on the channel.
Any specific sensitivty settings you'd advise for the thrustmaster airbus sidestick
Hi ! Will autobreaks work if I will turn them on after landing (after touching runway)?
Can ı request complex failure videos such as airspeed unrelliable ?I watched dual fmgc failure .It was amazing.thank you a lot
Thanks so much! Sure we’ll do a video on that subscribe and stay tuned 😁🤙🏽
I have followed your channel from the start. Great work, Captain. I am trying to learn crosswind landings, so do you suggest a video to learn the technique of how to do this?
Thank You so much for being part of the channel since the beginning! Sure, we WILL do a cross-wind landing
i was surpirsed about the number of likes because this video was so intresting and cannot have this less likes then i saw when u posted the video haha keep going ur videos
Thank you so much for your kind word, we just uploaded the video today so hopefully more people would like it and find it useful! 😁
Awesome. One question what is difference between ILS Z and ILS Y on same runway.
Hi, Perhaps this might help.

Great Video Sir, how do you synchronize the rudders with the sidestick during landing. Especially if its a crosswind or a normal landing. Would love to see a video on that. Cheers!
The A320 takes care of rudder coordination for you. At most a slight squeeze to line up before the nozewheel touches according to what I have heard.
Then again... I am a novice computer pilot so by no means take anything I say seriously 😂
Hey! Landing in a crosswind In a big fast jet my technique is to usually just use the Ailerons all the way down to the point where I'm over the flare for the runway, keeping the rudders free for when I need them the most. Once a few feet over the runway I push the rudders to "de-crab" the A/C pointing the nose down the end of the runway while deflecting the Ailerons into the wind to stop the crosswind from lifting the wing. Hope this helps.
When pitching the A/C pulling the sidestick aft
The moving surface is the TSH or the elevater! Or the elevater kicks in if high rate of pitch is required?
When you push and pull the side stick it’s the same elevator that moves first to change the aircraft’s AoA (Angle of Attack) and shortly then the THS moves to trim the a/c to the new AoA
@@waypointsaviation
Your response to our comments is very appreciated 👏.
Need to understand F/D behavior when A/P armed?
Is it the camera angle that makes it looks like the plane is crabbing? Great video as always!
Cheers:)
Thanks, actually it’s the way our screens are setup so it does give a crabbing look to it, I was also flying in a cross wind which intensified the crab…
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get perfect FOV with a 3 screen setup on msfs2020 we would be super grateful 🙏🏽
On the ND I see the winds coming from right, so naturally the plane would have it's nose pointed to the right. But somehow it appears the plane is pointing it's nose to the left.
Not really sure about setting up multiple screens for msfs, you might wanna visit the dedicated forum.
But the videos still serve it's purpose, so it's just fine:)
Great content!
What was that horn sound at 13:27?
Does your airline grade you on the landing rate, if so wondering what is an acceptable landing rate for an A320
Hey,
The airline doesn’t really grade the landing unless a report is filed by the other pilot or crew deeming the landing unsafe, so if it’s too rough a touch down (weather conditions taken into consideration) and the usability of the a/c after the landing would be considered. Having said that between -50 to -250 feet per minute descent rate on touch down is usually considered good landing rates, anything higher than his can be considered a hard landing and it gets worse from there.
Hope this helps 😁🤙🏽
I have a question as to what happens if you constantly pull the side stick. I assume it will constantly pitch up ? Same if you push side stick to reduce pitch will it do the same?
That’s correct. Constant pressure on the stick is considered a constant command on that control surface
@@waypointsaviation I am confused by this. You mentioned that once you hit 50' the airplane goes into "direct input mode", therefore if we hold the stick in certain position, shouldn't the plane hold that position ? If "direct input mode" is established, why should the pitch increase when holding the stick back ?
I am just trying to clarify ideas. 😉
Thanks
FCTM of airbus recomends to start the flare at 30 ft, but to each their own
You said it, to each his own and it’s purely situational based 👍🏽
Questions follow after each tutorial. Is this a real A-320 airbus simulator?
Reality is subjective. Does it replicate the behavior of an A320 aircraft? Yes, completely. Does it feature cockpit interior? Absolutely. Does it simulate all professional failures like an actual plane? Yes, it does.
However, is it supported by the aircraft manufacturer? No, it isn't. Does it cost millions of dollars to build? No, it doesn't.
It's a fixed-base, personally crafted cockpit. Nevertheless, I appreciate your question.
What does that big red button do in the joystick?
It is the Autopilot disconnect button, or the takeover button. Will be making a video on them in the future.
Bro. I thought you were playing msfs. Until I saw your hand touch the trim 😅
@@tuntowatkins1375 😉
I'm using keyboard but always have bouncing landing. Any recommendations please?
Bouncing could be due to many reasons, ease review them one by one , and see if your aware of the below :
1. High energy, check your speed.
2. Flare hight, maybe your flaring late.
3. Use a joy stick for better coordination, better than keyboard.
@@waypointsaviation thanks alot for guidance.. 👍🏻
Amazing tips but honestly I was expecting this without the autothrust
Ummm…. Thanks?
The focus of this video was the side stick we do have other videos where we’ve demonstrated flying with the auto thrust off.
How about some abnormal procedures!
Which one? We have done some abnormal procedure videos … anything specific you want to see?
How much does this setup cost?
A Lot! But worth it! 😁✌🏽
Why is the view a bit offset?
We have a 3 screen setup with 3 x 75” 4K TVs, the way they’re mounted in front of the sim gives perspective that there is a slight offset (crab) it’s something we’re looking for suggestions to fine tune …
The show can be better if you concentrate on the PFD ..
Thanks, We’ll take that into consideration
Basically you don't fly the plane, the plane flies you😂😂
Essentially Yes, but still requires 100% airmanship and demands 200% from the Pilot to make sure the Pilot gives the right input into the computers
Please try and remember that there is 'NO Real Life'! There is of course, REALITY!
We will try and remember that! 😁
so it has anti flare software ,,, the plane is already set up in a flare and the software over rides it and pushes the nose down ,,,airbus is so dumb with all their non pilot software built in
That’s one opinion…
yeah bro😔🫂
Has to combat the ground effect to keep the descent rate, otherwise it floats.
You’d be surprised how little is needed to fly the Airbus in some aspects and how much is needed in other aspects. End of the day it’s an aircraft with its own unique traits, our job as pilots is not to complain about not it but rather master it 😁
@@waypointsaviation ya never complain even at the risk of death of passengers,,,, good plan lol,,, change only happens with complaints 😁😁😁
You lost me at "boys and girls". Circus talk
