Part 4: Takeoff
In this tutorial series, we cover all the basic steps required to fly the default Airbus A320 from A to B in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Whilst the series is aimed at beginners and people new to the A320, it still aims to follow real-world Airbus procedures where possible.
In Part 4, we carry out the takeoff and initial climb. We run through all the necessary steps to get the aircraft airborne, cleaned up and climbing to cruise altitude.

This series really helps!! I love the way you actually explain everything, not just, "apply this" or "click these keys". And it's nice to hear it from an actual
Airbus pilot. Neat work and thanks :)
Thanks very much, Nørd! I’m really glad you found the series useful and informative. My absolute pleasure on the videos!
Thanks for watching and best of luck with your continued journey on the Airbus : )
This series is amazing! I really like your style and the way you explain things. It makes it much easier to understand. Nice work and thank you for the content!
Thanks very much! Always nice to hear when guys are getting something out of it : )
I would like to second that. Loving it.
Thank you very much Bill, very kind of you to say! : )
I've only been trying to play MSFS for about a week now watching a few RUclipsrs here, and when I tell you how loud and long I said, "Ohhhh!" the way you the climbing process, like a damn lightbulb going on! Thank you *SO* much for this series, this gives me *MUCH* more confidence in being able to fly now! Can't wait to watch the rest, especially landing! :D
Welcome to the sim / hobby, Efrain!
Haha, my absolute pleasure on the videos - I’m really happy to hear that you have been finding the series useful : )
Best of luck with your continued learning and happy flying!
I was waiting for the 4th part for a while now! Thanks for uploading. Also, WOW! Your channel has indeed truly grown quite a bit!
Also, I don’t mean to sound like a little kid, but 2:42 is rather funny. Those markings are truly a work of art if you know what I mean😂😂
Haha, yeah, it’s been going well : ) A lot of people ended up watching my review of the Carenado Mooney Ovation, so that really helped promote the channel a bit.
I know you have a new vid out as well, I’ll watch it for sure when I get a moment. Hope the studying is going well also!
Haha, got to keep the audiences attention somehow! : P
This is my most favorite A320 Tutorial series. So clear and even the callouts. Thank you very much for this. Subscribed! Cheers!
Thanks very much bulimic! Really happy to hear you found it useful. I do have a somewhat more advanced Airbus tutorial available on the channel also (just for your info), it is quite old now mind you and filmed in P3D. I should really update it using MSFS. . .
Anyway, thanks very much for the subscription and welcome aboard! : )
thank you so much for posting these it has made msfs so easier!
My absolute pleasure, Danny! I’m really glad you found the series useful : )
Best of luck with your continued learning and happy flying!
This video is great. Thank you.
Something I can actually do
When on holding point before takeoff, shouldn’t you turn off taxi lights and turn on landing lights instead. Anyways great content like always
Hi Ahmed,
I think (to some degree) each operator has its own SOP’s for the lights but, no, that’s not how the lights are operated under the SOP’s that I use (they are operated as per the video).
I hope that clarifies things and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks very much once again : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations no worries
great video, not understanding why my climb stops at 5,000ft? then after ATC yells at me a few times to expedite climb, the aircraft starts to ascend more quickly after a while
Thanks very much Schoc, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!
That sounds like you’re probably hitting a climb restriction on your departure. If the SID / departure you’re flying has a restriction and you using CLB mode, the aircraft will level off when it meets that restriction (and will climb again once you’ve passed it). If you want to bypass the restriction, use OP CLB (pull the altitude selector) and the aircraft will climb straight through to your selected altitude.
I hope that helps? All the best! : )
Hi Icy,
It would depend on the situation / ATC clearance. Typically, you would leave the aircraft to manage things and stay at 5000ft until passing the constraint. If ATC clears you to a higher level, then you would intervene with an Open Climb (pulling the altitude selector) and the aircraft will ignore the constraint.
I hope that helps. Cheers : )
Even when I followed all the steps correctly, I couldn’t take off the plane smoothly as it skid away from the runway. Any fixes?
Hi Ahal,
If you’re skidding off the runway, that sounds like either a controller setup issue (make sure you have hardware inputs bound to all flight controls and both engines), or a crosswind issue (if the wind is too strong, it will try and “push” the aircraft off the runway). I’d start by checking your control bindings and trying the flight again using the “Clear Skies” weather preset.
I hope that helps a little? All the best : )
if its not a crosswind issue use your rudders to keep the aircraft on the centerline. a little rudder goes a long way
Very helpful tutorials so far, but you lost me at "set 50% N1" at 2:30 and then again something about a white donut at about 4:11 or so. Can you explain what that means and how/why you're doing that? Thanks! I'm also a bit confused about how to adjust the trim wheel with my mouse. It just keeps spinning back to wherever it was already set. I understand these videos are a couple years old and the sim might not be exactly the same any more. Thanks again for your time and your very helpful videos.
he means that he wants the aircrafts engines to sit comfortably at half power. n1 is the name for the power of the first engine basically. the white donut is the indicator for how high your engines will spool up to. well atleast thats what it looked like.
In the USA, is it common to carry out the lights and seat belt procedure at 10,000 feet or at 18,000 feet? If it depends on the company, how does Delta do it? Thanks!
Hi Rodrigo,
I’m afraid I don’t really know the answer to that. I haven’t operated in the States and I definitely don’t work for Delta but, if I had to hazard a guess, I suspect they would still use 10,000ft for the landing lights. Seatbelt operation, very much depends on the airline and also the conditions at the time (at least in the airline I work for, it’s basically done at the pilot’s discretion).
Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best! : )
What button do you use for the NWS? I binded the Teather button (I think thats what its called) but I cant get my nose wheel to turn.
Hello Bryan,
I haven’t flown the default 320 in a long while but, from memory, you shouldn’t need to assign any button (you may have to assign an axis for NWS though, perhaps that’s your issue?). Otherwise, do you have the Anti-Skid / NWS switch selected on (just above the landing gear handle)? Other than that, I’m struggling to think what might be causing your issue. . . If you have any further info, do let me know.
Cheers, all the best!
Question, why my aircraft isn’t showing SRS, instead it’s showing nav on the FMA?
Despite closely following these tutorials all my aircraft does when I engage the AP is it flies in a descending circle until I save it or it hits the ground. It also gives me "OVERSPEED" despite having auto throttle set and thrust levers set to Climb. I cannot for the life of me get this aircraft autopilot to follow the flightplan, speed, and altitude.
thrustlevers need to be set on autothrottle slightly below climb i think
I don't understand how do you know, when to retract the flaps and put the throttle levers back.
Hi Danko,
That is rather dependent on a number of factors and can also be airline specific (therefore it’s hard to give you a complete answer). At my airline, the vast majority of the time, thrust reduction (bringing the thrust levers back) and acceleration (retracting the flaps once above the appropriate speed) take place passing through 1,500ft. Both of these values can be adjusted in the Takeoff PERF page of the MCDU.
I hope that helps a little? All the best!
Thank you! All my aviation friends were stunned! Including my family. I am 10 years old and this helped me so much! Thank you again for making this video and for responding!
You’re most welcome! Cheers and best of luck with your continued learning : )
@@danko123710 years old 😂😂😂😂 I’m stunned too 😂
Why was it a toga takeoff
Hello George,
Given that the series is aimed at absolute beginners, I thought it would be easier to demonstrate a TOGA takeoff (rather than getting into the specifics of a FLEX takeoff (how to set it up, why it’s used etc) and also, TOGA will cover all scenarios, rather than viewers learning to use FLEX, which may then limit them under certain conditions.
i hope that clarifies things? All the best : )
Even tho I change the cruise altitude from 5000 I still level off at 5000 how can I fix this?
How do you move the "eye view" around the flight deck?
Yes, as GizmoDog mentions, it's using a device called TrackIR. It basically monitors your head movements and inputs them in the game. It's good, but a little pricey. I believe there are some cheaper / freeware options. FreeTrack and FaceTrackNoIR for example.
Hope that helps : )
My aircraft just wont climb above 5000 feet even through my selected altitude is set at 30000 feet in blue. Is it some sort of altitude restriction? I have no clue how to get over it...
Hello Jonathan,
That does sound like you probably have an altitude restriction on your departure. Have you tried performing an Open Climb (pulling the altitude selector), that should disregard any restrictions in the FMC and allow you to climb up to your desired cruise altitude?
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulationsYeah it ended up working out in the end, thanks alot!
Great, glad you got things sorted! My pleasure : )
When taking off and setting cruising alttiude, and when the auto-pilot is engaged the plane goes to the left and doesnt even climb? Can you please tell me why
Hi Flixqtt,
Without knowing the exact set of circumstances, it’s very difficult to say what the issue might be. At a guess, it sounds like the aircraft is probably trying to track towards the first waypoint and presumably maintaining altitude due to a constraint on the departure.
Have you managed to get things figured out yet? If not, some more specific details would be helpful and then we might be able to get to the bottom of things : )
Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations when I took off I instantly set the auto pilot to on, with 90 bank, I guess it wasn’t stable plus your tutorial is outdated, would be great if you make a tutorial with the FBW
A320 which is way better than the default
@@flixqttmaybe you should read the manual more carefully before asking questions. His videos are great and clear, he’s not responsible for your stupidity.
@@zuzukouzina-original I swear retards like you shouldn’t be even able to comment
My plane keeps saying overspeed at above 260 kts although no flaps are set. Someone please mind helping
There are certain speed restrictions for certain altitudes brother
why does my a320 keep leveling out at 5000 feet even tho i set the autopilot to 35000 feet?
Hi Liam,
That sounds like you’re probably hitting a climb restriction on your departure. If the SID / departure you’re flying has a restriction and you’re using CLB mode, the aircraft will level off when it meets that restriction (and will climb again once you’ve passed it). If you want to bypass the restriction, use OP CLB (pull the altitude selector) and the aircraft will climb straight through to your selected altitude.
I hope that helps? All the best! : )
Thanks I'll try that today 😁
You’re most welcome! : )
Hight rate Climb before 10000 feet ?
Hi Ponnarak,
I’m afraid I don’t quite understand the question. Are you querying the aircrafts performance or the procedure? At the time of the recording, the default A320 was definitely way overpowered yes. Procedurally, for the most part, you can climb at whatever vertical speed you like above or below 10,000ft. The only requirement (generally) is speed less than 250kts : )

if she listen to this she aint the one bro
Haha, sorry Prod, you’ve lost me there?
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ... what the hell? I commented this on a completely different video, several days apart.. how is this even possible?
Haha! That makes a little bit more sense then XD
It’s rare, but this is not the first time I’ve heard of that happening on RUclips. Who knows how it’s possible. . .
Have a good one, man! Cheers : )
Thanks for these videos so far, just beginning at the A320 and this is a great help.
You should defenitely check out the A320 mod: flybywiresim.com/
Hoping for more !
Thanks very much man! Really sorry for the slow reply, RUclips oddly misses a notification every now and then. . .
Better late than never as they say : P
Glad the series was helpful : )
I did indeed try out the Flybywire mod, its impressive what the team have achieved so far! I have a couple of vids in it up on the channel now. Hope the Airbus flying is going well!
All the best
