I just found this and I want to compliment and thank you! Brilliant! This is one of the best flight sim procedure/tutorial videos I've seen on RUclips (and I've watched a lot of them)! You have a gift of explaining things very well, getting to the point, and making it fun to watch. 👌👏 I don't have the A300 but I have the A310 and I love the airplane. I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to do RNAV approaches with the bird and wasn't even sure if it was capable of it. You answered all my questions and made my evening. You just got a new subscriber. 😁
Great intro overall, however I feel like you glanced over the difference between an MDA and a DA a bit, which for the purposes of a non-precision approach are quite important. Summarizing, if you're on an approach with vertical guidance that haas an approved DA, you have to decide when crossing the DA, but it allows for some undershoot as it takes you some time to get the go around started. If you have an approach with only lateral guidance and the minimums you're using is an MDA you cannot descend even a foot below MDA without seeing the runway, so if the weather is marginal you might want to level off and try to look for the field. You can also legally descend in a chop and drop style to MDA the second you pass the last mandatory crossing altitude, in this case 2100ft at BA418 and then fly level until you cross the MAPt, that's usually not done in an airtliner for comfort reasons though. For a missed approach, you have to follow the lateral guidance of the approach until you cross the MAPt, then you can follow the missed approach procedure, however you can start the vertical portion well before if you see no chance of completing the approach.
thanks for the kind words - I am aware of the MDA/DA/DH fandago but rather I felt that we had enough to cover in this video. I'll do a video in future which looks at this topic in a bit more detail.
Some good points but with the A300 you have to fly level before the descent point as you are not allowed to fly these approaches as a DFA (delayed flap approach) so this was done by the book in this approach with only the smallest level segment possible. Also you are correct with the fact you can't go even 1ft below an MDA but many operators of the A300 have published minima values that are treated as DAs as they have a margin added already, so no need to add any altitude or make the go around call before actually hitting the minma you have set for the approach. Operators have made this decision to keep the go around decision phase the same regardless of approach type.
Nice video, can't figure what you change in this re edit. I think you can set fd odd and FPV on for NPAs and i guess that if you press FPA ( below DH), you can set -3.00 and it might put an -3.00° path indicator on the PFD so when flying visually, you still have an indicator for a -3.00 descent path ? maybe you check that for the VOR/DME approach for the next video :)
@@CMBelite-FR FPA does move the bird (no cage modelled though) on the PFD but AFAIK there is no FPA mode in the FCU. On the line Eric told me that they did Non Precision approaches using VS and the flight director. The re-edit was done because in the first video I pressed PROFILE for the final approach when it was it P.ALT which is not the procedure, and why it got bent out of shape trying to catch the path.
So that explains it......amazing orating skills and a face for the radio! Nothing worse than a preventable accident. I’m happy to hear you are ok tho.....and back in action. Missed you while u were gone! Welcome back!
I love the video.But what if you go on the missed approach and want to reconfigure for the RNAV once again? I did a missed app a few days back but couldn't find a way to reconfigure to legs page with the right fixes (ended up flying the VOR on raw data).
@@flyairline2sim After the missed app. The arriving airport ICAO disappears from the legs page and no options for re-inputing it are available. I can program a HOLD or divert but not reload the app again. Maybe if you had the chance to do a miss app and see if you get the option to reconfigure or if it's a problem on my side. But it seems nobody talks about the miss approach procedures on the A306.
Hey good question. The best way to set the FMS back up for the approach is to either use the SEC F-PLN or use the NEW RTE TO box. You can get to this by using a waypoint in the flight plan and clicking on it from the left side. Type in the ICAO for OLBA and then scroll to the end of the flight plan select OLBA and the runway and clean up the flight plan. Another way is to type in OLBA/OLBA in the SEC F-PLN set the approach up and then activate SEC F-PLN DIR TO the point on the approach.
If I press the FINAL 3.00 and then the PROFILE , will the plane immediately begin to descend along the glide path of three degrees, or will it wait for the point where it should be started?
No wonder you have such dulcet tones. Great delivery style.
Agree with Terryt below. Have been struggling with Inibuilds 300-600 getting a ILS approach ...Must try this technique Thank you

Enjoyed this video very much! Well don!
Just a word. Perfect! Thank you!

Hey, really like you videos when does a new one come out?
How did you get the terrain radar working? Never managed to....
Great Intro ... all the best from munich germany

I think the FPA doesnt do anything in this plane as it hasn't been modeled !
@@stormy2453 thats a shame, maybe in the future

Perfect, thank you Ben!
What if the glideslope is steeper than 3.00?
Great video.
Would you try RNAV15 and RNAV33 at Paro VQPR? It couldn't work for me. Thanks
So that explains it......amazing orating skills and a face for the radio!

now you know why I'm not on the TV lol
I love this plane

I'm not actutally sure, can you not just reload the approach into the MCDU?

It will wait
Thank you for this video! I subbed btw
Do you want to
Too?
Dude. You talk WAY too much. Extraneous info. We dont need to hear you repeat things 500 times.
Beirut Lebanon? I thought you people blew up aircraft, not fly them.
