Absolutely excellent training. The best I’ve seen. Many thanks for your hard work. There’s little details that you cover that have been missed in other tutorials. Again many thanks.
"You Are Amazing Sir" Many Thanks for doing this with such Clarity. I always messed this up and got so frustrated. Thank you for What You Do Captain !!
Wonderful teaching. I have been searching for this very thing for so long. I wish there was a similar video on how to explain how to activate ILS as well.
Your kind words truly inspire me. To be honest, comments like yours are what personally motivate me. However, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on how I can better serve you and our dear community of aviators.
Thank You so much! Glad you found our method of teaching useful! All the Best on the type-rating course! Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world outside Dubai!

Thanks a lot - that was great! Although I did saw several other good trainings by real Airbus pilots inside the MSFS 2020 sim, this video helped me to have a better understanding of the managed vs selected modes and more! Absolutely awesome! Keep up with more like these, e.g. it would be nice to have some training on various ILS approaches and ways to read the approach charts :)
Subscribed immediately👌 it is soo detailed and you show great examples that can happen/happens in real life. Exactly what i was looking for because i want to understand the systems fully. Many thanks for you work it is really appreciated🙏
If your speed is away from VLS and within acceptable bank angle and pitch settings, among other conditions, the autopilot should be engaged immediately.
LORID is almost 180" behind you. Could you select a right turn also to go DIRECT ? Or would you use the HDG to right and then click DIRECT when you below 180".? The aircraft (autopilot) turned left, probably the shortest way.
Amazing tutorial!! Thank you very much for putting the time and effort to convey to us aviation enthusiasts all this information. One question: As you were manually changing the Flight Path Angle from the FCU, the plane's pitch angle was also changing to the corresponding value as shown with the "bird" on the PFD. Is this always the case? (FPA = A/C Pitch Angle)? Because I have seen planes descending with the correct FPA but with their nose pitched way up to be able to maintain it (the FPA), especially on low approach speeds
Hello, thanks for your comment! To answer your question keep in mind that we have two factors one is angle of attack the other is flight path angle. The angle of attack is the angle at which the aircraft must fly to maintain, straight & level flight Or the angle that it must maintain to climb and descend at whatever rate you choose, the flight path angle is the true angle at which the aircraft is flying. For example, if the flight path angle is zero with flaps up and flying at the speed of approximately 200 kn. You can expect the angle of attack to be around 2.5 to 3° nose up. When you slow the aircraft down and deploy the flaps, the aircraft will naturally fly at a raised angle of attack, which is why you always see aircraft coming into land with a nose up angle. This is just how the aerodynamics work. Hope this answers your question Let us know if you need any further information.
@waypointsaviation Thank you so much for this elaborate response! Not only answers my question but a series of follow up questions that I might have had!
Indeed! Airbus 318, 319, 320, 321, 330, 340 ALL have the same FCU so If you know how to fly one you can fly them all, it's keeping with Airbus' common cockpit philosophy.
380 is similar but not exactly the same as the rest, but once you understand the logic of airbus you’ll be able to figure out the FCU of the 380 easily too! Yeah you should get the 380 if you can; it’s the best! Dream to fly! We here at waypoints speak from first hand experience flying it! 😎✌🏽✈️
Just got 10 thumbs up and 8 claps - a first for me! Thanks for the warm support. If you happen to be in Dubai, it would be my pleasure to treat you to 30 minutes in the sim, completely on me. Let me know if you're around!
Hi, for context input, you are specifically flying at thirteen thousand feet, NOT flight level (FL). We only call it FL when you are at “standard”assuming you are above transition altitude.
In other parts of the world other than the USA flight levels can be as low as 4000 and it Chages every day. So when he Said he is at FL130 he is correct.
Hello, thanks for this wonderful tutorial, although I knew most of it already :) One question though: I fly the A320neo as well (in FS2020) 😂 and sometimes (or always?) on an approach small two digit green numbers appear on the left side of the altitude scale .. like 32 and either slowly counting up or down. What are these numbers for? Thanks for your help!
Hello, I believe you're referring to your vertical speed indicator, double digits (32) are in thousands so 32 would be 3200 feet per minute and single digits are hundreds. Best touch down rate would be less than 300 feet per minute. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
@@waypointsaviation Thanks for your reply. No, I am not talking about the VSI "needle". The green numbers I am seeing appear on the top left or lowest left-side of the altitude scale. They can count up all the way to 99. I can send you a screenshot where they would be located.
@@waypointsaviationHello again, I think I found the answer already?!?! (" It is the indicator for how far off of the VNAV path you are. 77 means you're 7,700 feet below where the plane wants to be"). Makes sense to me, agree? Another quick question, I assume you are a real-life A320 pilot, could you check whether there is an indication during flight whether the parking brake is engaged or not? I landed with parking brake on but I didn't see any message. Thanks.
Hi, I'm not yet sure what the indicator you're referring to could be until I see a picture of it, just to be sure I answer you correctly. Yes, I am a real life A320 Pilot, Instructor and Examiner and in the A320 if you set the parking brake at anytime you'll see a notification on the Upper ECAM saying "PARK BRK" Hope this helps Best Regards
This is an excellent video. Very easy to understand. Thank you. Hope you keep doing these - more people will discover them soon. (New subscriber here!)
How to select the roll angle of the plane when turning. There is another knob behind the heading knob in Boeing to select your roll angle. But I couldn't find out how to do that on the Airbus
Airbus doesn’t have a knob neither does it have an option to adjust the angle of bank. Then you push fully on the side-stick, the aircraft will role until it reaches a maximum of 67 degrees of bank (if you keep pushing the stick) once you release the stick the ac will automatically role back to 33 degrees and stay there until you push the stick the other way to level the wings
Great video! Just a question about the FPA mode: does it control the nose attitude or the flight path angle? The attitude indicator matched the degrees that you programmed on the FCU, but that might not match the flight path angle, right? If you change config with flaps, or if you have a headwind, the AI degrees won't match the flight path angle, correct?
Hi and thanks for your comment! The FPA doesn't really control anything but is more like an indication as to what the aircraft is doing or the actual flight path angle that the aircraft is flying in relation to its angle of attack. Generally in clean configuration flying straight and level the aircraft would have a nose up angle of about 2 1/2 to 5° and yes you're correct if you lower the speed or deploy flaps then this angle will change. The purpose of the FPA (Bird) is to help the pilot determine regardless of what the angle of attack isis to help the pilot determine regardless of what the angle of attack, is the aircraft is the aircraft flying straight and level or are we climbing or descending that's pretty much what the FPA does for us hope this answers your question full free to let us know if you need any more clarification.
I’m running in a problem that I do not understand, I’m in selected mode auto thrust and autopilot, speed is set to 220 and it will go over speed on both while I’m climbing and I cannot get the speed down. I try on A330 from Laminar and on A319 from Toliss, same problem. Do not know what I’m doing wrong😮Please help.
Hello, There could be a number of reasons for this… you can check the following… 1) are the flaps still out? At speeds of 220 you must be flaps 0 2) are the thrust levers in the CL detect? Cause if they’re still in toga or flx/mct then no matter what you choose in selected it will still be pushing max power Check this and let us know if this works, anything else we can do to help let us know :)
@@waypointsaviation you were right, that was my problem, I have read that auto thrust was not going over the point where it was setup, but I miss read about toga, thanks again
When I set both heading and altitude in managed mode, autopilot on A320neo only follows heading but it won't follow altitude based on the flight plan. Also the magenta altitude limits don't show up on PFD when I toggle between altitude select/managed mode. I do see those on the ND screen. Any suggestions?
Altitude will not change as per the FMS - you will have to use the FCU to dial and change levels. in regard to the magenta ALT limits, it has to be coded into the FMS waypoints - then it will reflect. Check this video it explains it partially: ruclips.net/video/wz1CcqHxzeM/видео.html
Another refresher - thanks! Question - at 23.20 in the vid, you put in the fmc 5000 altitude. That is visible in the screen (in blue). The constraint is hower 8,000 - I would expect that 8000 in purple in your fmc - any idea why it showed your selected altitude in blue rather then the constrained altitude of 8000? After a while i saw it changed in 8000 purple though :). It’s probably a delay in the system
You my friend are definitely Eagle Eyed! So what happened was there was a momentary error in our MSFS FMGS program and it didnt take into account the constraints... however once we reloaded the programaround the 24:00 period it worked this time, and even though I selected 2000 on the FCU it knew the constraint existed @ 8000 and gave us alt magenta on the FMA and followed the constraints as it should. This is a problem one has to deal with sometimes when working with MSFS coupled to an advanced FNPT Simulator, sometimes the software has a hiccup! But it all worked well in the end! :)
The basic idea is to set your desired trajectory using the FCU knobs( Speed , ALT, and HDG), if FCU selection not possible , you can start by resetting the FCU . If still not working. Then you can fly the Aircraft manually to the desired trajectory, with out selections using PFD screen.
Already done check it out here in this video Airbus A320 | Tutorial | Full Flight | Ankara to Beirut | Expedited Climb | Divert to Alternate... ruclips.net/video/xD9Pk_r2um0/видео.html
"There's no mystical method; every pilot and company concur on a singular approach: to dispel any uncertainty and ensure there's always someone actively piloting the aircraft. This is achieved by declaring 'I have control' or granting control with 'you have control,' straightforward and resolute."
hi, i got a cuenstion regarding the altitude, many times when i fly in my simulator the autopilot doesnt engage with the ils, i think it something related to the selected altitude or something, can you help me there? (pd: im not o pilot i just fly for the fun of it)
Something to remember in MSFS - you have to select "LEGACY" in the Accessibilty section in Gen Options so the mouse will allow you to Push and Pull the knobs. I also did not realize that you could use Auto Throttle and still change the Speed manually. Pretty cool, I see that in the Vision Jet also. Way down below the throttle . . .
We learn something new everyday! :)
@@waypointsaviationi have trouble with this one. even if i selected my speed and altitude, if i dont make the proper throttle adjustment, the AP wont work. do you have a video explaining this one? thanks in advance.

Thanks! What is it specifically you wish to learn more about the FCU? You can join our Members section and gain access to one on one tutorials :)
This is just Just amazing
I think the FPA mode is not meant for nose down 5 degree in your explaination, it's the flight path 5 degree
You are correct FPA refers to flight path of 5 degrees not a physical nose down angle.

The constraint is hower 8,000 - I would expect that 8000 in purple in your fmc - any idea why it showed your selected altitude in blue rather then the constrained altitude of 8000? After a while i saw it changed in 8000 purple though :). It’s probably a delay in the system
You my friend are definitely Eagle Eyed! So what happened was there was a momentary error in our MSFS FMGS program and it didnt take into account the constraints... however once we reloaded the programaround the 24:00 period it worked this time, and even though I selected 2000 on the FCU it knew the constraint existed @ 8000 and gave us alt magenta on the FMA and followed the constraints as it should.
This is a problem one has to deal with sometimes when working with MSFS coupled to an advanced FNPT Simulator, sometimes the software has a hiccup! But it all worked well in the end! :)
@@waypointsaviation check! ;-) thanks for clarifying! Good to see my pc is not the only one doing weird things haha
@@ehameham3816 You are NOT alone!
What do you do if the Alt selector knob malfunctions and doesn’t go into open descent mode?
The basic idea is to set your desired trajectory using the FCU knobs( Speed , ALT, and HDG), if FCU selection not possible , you can start by resetting the FCU . If still not working. Then you can fly the Aircraft manually to the desired trajectory, with out selections using PFD screen.

how to give control of plane to copilot in a320? please answer
"There's no mystical method; every pilot and company concur on a singular approach: to dispel any uncertainty and ensure there's always someone actively piloting the aircraft. This is achieved by declaring 'I have control' or granting control with 'you have control,' straightforward and resolute."
hi, i got a cuenstion regarding the altitude, many times when i fly in my simulator the autopilot doesnt engage with the ils, i think it something related to the selected altitude or something, can you help me there? (pd: im not o pilot i just fly for the fun of it)
