Maybe an idea for the other short type videos: explaining the exact meaning of those CI, FI points on approach, when do we have an final approach fix vs final approach point, etc in case that got not already covered in another video in detail.

I have just started my TR A320, your videos are a great help, I hope to see you in the sky 🙏

[@johnklaer2626]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge as a professional pilot

[@baliya64]

That crosswind deserves extra practice. The improvement in the download is appreciated and let's hope that they have not broken anything important.
Regarding the new A320, as you point out, it is free and covers the gap for Xbox. Thanks for being positive on that matter.

[@A330Driver]

I didn’t see anything new they broke. Seems a solid update if you ask me.

7:39 standard approach profile.

[@vdrossi]

Hi Emanuel, thanks a lot for your wonderful videos. Please can you explain me why you entered radial in 089 (opposite of 269 is 091?)

[@Chikyel]

Thank you for all your videos. Very pedagogical.

[@LucaS-ir7sx]

Again… great video ;-D. Maybe one idea for a future video. Could you explain the decision making process behind selecting Flaps 3 or Flaps Full for landing? Basically, under what conditions Flaps 3 is preferred, etc. Thank you so much for all your great videos!

[@Deyan_B_Travels]

I thought you needed to be fully configured and stable on approach at 1000 ft.

[@yams900]

Danke ! Very good (as always)

[@desmodromic4586]

Really good stuff

[@antoniopettini9503]

What does exactly means the dot line arch in ND and when that arch appears? You mentioned that is a good indication where you are going to land without speed brake but, for my incompetence, I'm a little bit confused

[@flightpilot001_Reacts]

can you make a video about the ndb approach or greek airports with less information about the glideslope

[@Jannik_Stein]

I always thought the stable gate for airbus would be 1000ft

[@marioheim8883]

Hi Emanuel. When i look at real-cockpit-videos they mostly use Flaps 2 shortly befor they intercept the glidepath. So it is better to decelerate. Greets

[@A330Driver]

Hi Mario,
that is not SOP. The FCOM is very clear about the sequence. Of course pilots can deviate from the sequence at their judgement if the situation requires so (think tailwind or when you're still rather fast), but it should not be standard to select Flaps 2 before the glide.

Hi Emanuel, I have noticed that often the ILS CRS reported on the RAD/NAV page is different from the real one reported on the ILS charts. Differs from 1°. Can you investigate on this please. Thanks

[@A330Driver]

Hi, that’ll usually be due to different magnetic variation databases. If it’s just one degree I wouldn’t worry about it.

[@rangeray3369]

Hi, eine Frage: Wie hast du es hingekriegt dass bei 11:07 dein Fenix die Runway ausgerufen hat? Meiner macht das nicht....

[@A330Driver]

Hi, das ist RAAS von FS2Crew. Ein seperates Addon. Der Fenix an sich kann das nicht. Die meisten A320 in der Realität sind mit RAAS ausgestattet.

[@bobtothetop1609]

How often do you get radar vectored by atc on approach, instead of following the star?

[@A330Driver]

About 100% of times 😄

[@bobtothetop1609]

Alright thanks, good to know! 😀
Then I guess I should start hitting VATSIM more

[@AVlad-eg3ds]

Did I miss in the previous video when we usually want to engage approach mode?

[@Jannik_Stein]

You engage it when you are cleared for the approach. I hope you don’t confuse it with the approach phase

[@Marco-ys7no]

Einer der besten Tutorialserien die ich gesehen habe! Weiter so Bitte!

[@A330Driver]

Vielen Dank!
