I really wish I'd seen this video before - the trouble it could have saved me! ...lol. Thanks for this video, another really useful topic! A hallmark of your tutorials is the way you go through the different scenarios and explain what could go wrong and how to fix it. I think that this approach is great teaching! Have you been involved in training pilots in real life? Looking forward to the next one, as always!
Haha it is a useful technique to have ready! It has appeared because of learning from past mistakes no doubt. Thank you for watching and your kind words as always, I’m glad these are proving clear and useful. Yes I have training experience ;) but it is quite different making videos! Thanks again
very helpful especially during my Type rating, good to get an idea what is waiting for me during sim session ! keep posting please, you re doing a very great job ! cheers
Glad I watched this. I just encountered this last night on descent into KMSY with RNAV Y to Rwy 20. The STAR had an altitude restriction of 11000 at one of the waypoints, and the IF was 2000. We crossed the waypoint just under 11000, but hit the IF at 5300'. I expected the plane to manage that descent to the IF and wondered why it was only descending 600-700 fpm on its own from 11,000. It seemed to totally disregard the 2000 altitude in the approach.
Great tools to have in the kit. Just one question: Isn't it often inadvisable to do because of the risk of capturing false GS lobes? As I recall, that was the cause of an Air New Zealand incident, on a 767, in 2000?.
Thanks for watching and great question! You have to be careful indeed, I will explain more in a Q and A video soon. If you know where you are compared to the real glide slope then you can check it isn’t false, so it relies on keeping your situation awareness high! Also careful monitoring of the interception of the glideslope, once on it check the rate of descent. A false glideslope will have an incorrect rate of descent (too shallow or steep). In reality these days I have never seen a false glideslope but it is possible!
Thank you! Well spotted on the AP2, normally I would have pressed it. It was missed here (higher workload of the capture can cause this!) but you only NEED to engage both for an autoland normally. However yes as a normal procedure you would use both. Thanks for watching!
Question about when you need to descend quickly from high altitude, example FL300. I was under the impression that the fastest way to go down was to deploy speed brakes and increase speed to MMO. That way it gives you high descent rates. But you said that even in high altitudes one needs to slow down the aircraft. I Am 99.9% probably wrong on this, but would like your comment on this all the same. Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. At high FL you would only slow down whilst you could not descend, and then once descending you would increase speed to get the most drag as you describe. Of course during a ILS we don't have the option to go as fast so we use drag (flaps, gear etc) instead. Hope that makes sense!

As always great video captain!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us the sim community, these videos are amazing and really well explained.
I’m glad you think so! Very kind words, thanks for watching!

The coding of a STAR may be difficult to fly in practice for a variety of reasons (tailwind, heavy etc). It requires careful monitoring!

Hi there! I noticed that after you armed the approach , you didn't press AP2 pb. Is this normal?? Congrats on your videos btw, they are VERY helpful..

Thank you for all this master classes
You are welcome, thank you for watching!
Great video :)
Thank you for watching and your kind words!
could you do a video on airbus Type rating SoP?
now i know why i could not slow down over config 3 speed brakes not deployable thank you again sir
Yes it’s a small difference with the 321 that is easy to forget!
Good tips for me. Hope these situations would be only in training centers)
Thanks for watching! This is possible any time you go flying so useful to have ready!

320 Sim Pilot Thank you for your response. It sure does make sense :) Wish you all the best!
Halo sir where can I buy airbus 320 add on,? I already have X-Plane 11 from steam.
