Alright you have your A300 on the tarmac ready to go, now you just need some assistance to get her airborne! In this brief “quick start” tutorial I go over how to get your aircraft from cold and dark, to loaded with cargo/fuel, flight plan initialization, engine start (Pratt and Whitney), taxi and takeoff! This is not necessarily a “sop” start up guide, I have combined my knowledge of the aircraft and what knowledge I have of the narrow body airbus to make a streamlined easy to follow procedure.

This will be a bar setter for later X-plane ad-ons. All we need is the rotate MD-11 now
With the amount of time that Rotate has been working on the MD-11, I sure hope it will be good :)
Dude, I’d give up on the MD11.. it’s ain’t gonna happen
@@redbeardflys805 What exactly makes you think that?
Their regular status updates showcasing new systems and progress (which looks great btw)?
Get your shitty rumors out of here.
@Captain_McGee What we know so far about the MD11 says otherwise. They seem to go all in, simulating every system in-depth. Screenshots also look great. Cockpit textures tell you a lot in advance. For comparison, look at the garbage SSG releases. Even their 747 v2 cockpit looks like a freeware addon...
I don't worry at all about the MD-11 being great. Higher quality than this A300? Hardly, but also not necessary. If it is on par we can all be happy.
7:24 Love the cargo container casually floating by in the background. That's why they call it air freight, I guess.
😂 yeah good eye to spot that lol
Let my try an A310 cockpit preparation in a nutshell:
What you do is basically switch on the batteries, test the APU fire loop and squib, start APU, go into the fms to check database and then go directly to init A page, switch on left, right and middle IRS, check the aircraft coordinates via REF > GPS monitor page on the other fms, and correct coordinates on the init A page and hit ALIGN IRS, then go up to the isdu (right below left IRS), and check if those coordinates have been taken over.
Then you can start with the overhead panel flow column by column, from bottom to top and left to right. Switch on the signs, the dome light (only cockpit lights at EMER Elec config), then FLT RCDR to GND CTL. When you are at the lights, switch the strobe in "Auto" and NAV/Logo in "1" or "2" (if equipped), all others OFF. We call it the "U". All the Pitch trim, yaw damper and ATS levers UP, check the squib and loop of ENG 1, and ENG 2 once you are there. Yes, you switch on every fuel pump, even if the fuel tank is empty, or even if the ACTs are not installed, as the auto fuel feed will be impaired and the CG can not be controlled. Switch on window and probe heat, once the covers are off. Switch on and check oxygen is at least between 1400 and 2000 PSI. EMER exit lights to ARM. You can select ECON FLOW with less than 160 PAX on board.
So bottomline, you basically switch all white lights off on the overhead panel.
Right after that, i set up the EFB, get the ATIS and calculate my take off performance. Then i fill the FMS with the weights, flight plan, take off speeds etc.
On the Prog page, we use bearing distance for the EOSID fix, and depending on Pilot flying from left or right, the corresponding other side is used to tune a VOR station (e.g. if CM1 is flying, we put in a VOR or DME station in Remote 2 (right side) at the bottom of the Prog page, that assures, that Remote 2 isn't autotuning any other undesired stations, for a departure or EOSID).
Now that i have done my calculations with the EFB before and know, that there are no performance issues with the planned departure, i start setting up the FCU. In the Speed window, we dial in the V2, then press the knob to activate a preset and dial in at least 250 knots, or take off weight + 120 Knots, whichever is higher. The preset gets activated, when for example during engine failure, where u deactivate the PROF mode and select the ALT hold mode at the acclereation altitude, the vertical mode changes, and an acceleration to the preselected speed is required.
During normal operation in PROF mode, this speed will be disregarded, as there is no Mode change. The preset function can also be used, when descending to fl100 for example and you want to keep 310 knots, until reaching your altitude, and then slow down to 250 kts. Once ALT* appears, the vertical mode has changed, and your preset speed is activated, or it can also be used to change from 310 knots, to Mach 0.80 at you crossover altitude for climb Modes any other than PROF. Just remember, the preset speed is very useful and gets activated, whenever there is a vertical mode change.
On the EFIS control panel we set the minimum to -5 and in the FPA window wie dial in the trim Setting for the elevator as a reminder.
Then i do the panel on the side, check the switching, check the mask, and check that the RAT lever is stowed and guarded.
After that i set up the flight instruments, dial in the QNH and the Engine Out acceleration altitude, on the stand by airspeed indicator we bug V2 and the Green Dot Speed (until 20000ft it is your current aicraft weight + 100. So at 130 tons, your green dot speed is 230 kts).
Then hit the EGPWS button, just short, and check the ND for a test pattern and some EGPWS call outs, set the Gear Position Determination System to A for odd, or B for even days (same with ignition A or B later for engine start). Test the Gear Warning. Dial in the current airport elevation, set up the thrust rating panel. Go through the engine instruments and finally set up the pedestal with some frequencies, insert the ILS frequency of the runway that is used in case of an immediate return (gives also a centerline indication during take off run, if it's the same runway), set ADF 1 to an NDB in the departure sector, and ADF2 to the Outer Marker of the return runway, set up the transponder, depending on pilot flying, either ATC 1 or 2.
Pilot Monitoring would at least check the cockpit and all the levers for their correct and corresponding position before Pilot flying is setting up the aircraft, then check the emergency gear, do the light test, and the brake check in the meantime. So on the center console right below the speed brake, press the accu button, to energize the yellow hydraulic system accumulator, note that the accu press pointer on the brake indicator moves into the green marking. the brake press indication should be 1500 PSI or more with parking brake on. Switch brakes to ALTN/ON, release parking brake and press the brake pedals, indication should be 2400 PSI at full pedal deflection, then release brake pedals, and set parking brake, also press accu button again and switch back to NORM/ON.
Whats different in the real aircraft: to insert the approach, you have to select the left line select key (LAT Revision) of any waypoint that is above the airport on the FPL page. I know, with modern airbus, you can hit the destination airport, but not on the 310. That way, it would insert the approach behind your destination.
I guess that's it so far. Can't think of more at the moment. Let me know, if you have specific questions.
PS: Fuel lever on at 15% minimum, we use mostly 18% N2 :P
To check for correct engine parameters after ENG start, we use the "20, 40, 60" method, which means form top to bottom the N1 should be at around 24%, EGT at about 400 degrees C, and N2 around 65%
nice information
Preparing for the free release of the A310 in MSFS and you’re the only one I trust with these tutorials. Thanks a lot for the tutorial!
Absolutely stunning. I've also noticed that the crt's screens are litlle convex, like the real ones does. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Really hope that more to come!
With the depth of system simulation hinted at, it's definitely money well spent.
A firm order in the making, I am so looking forward to this model that arguably was a major step in making Airbus what it is today.
Just the tutorial I needed. Thanks for making it so simple to get us simmers up and running quickly.
I look forward to your stream in this bird XP!
V1-Simulations I’ll fumble around a little less because of this video 😆
Great video as always V1. Just a quick correction, though, and this is weird because I consider you the Jedi Master. I've been watching all the preview videos on RUclips from iniBuilds and Airline2Sim, and they all pointed out that you don't have to turn off the PACKS in the A300-600. It was designed to be smarter than Boeing planes like the modern Airbuses. You can even hear the PACKS shutdown when you turn the start selector switch to A or B.
Correct as on the 320 you dont need to actually turn the packs off for start. I assumed that you would in the 300 but it appears Airbus was smarter from the get go with auto pack cut off.
@Captain_McGee Yeah, I remember, which is why I said it was weird for me. I'm no pilot, and learned most of what I know about the A320 family from V1. It feels like I'm questioning Obi-Won in the ways of the force, LOL.
Picked this beast up when iniSimulations had it on a 24hr sale over the past weekend - 9.99 PDS - change from 19 AUD. Gotta love a bargain like that!
A300 the king of preatty lights on the overhead.
I've flown nothing else since release day. I enjoy watching the videos too. Can't get enough of this bird.
That brings back memories for me.
I went from a 60 seat Fokker F-28 to one of these - THAT was a learning experience!
Gold Standard for Airbus tutorials. Great video as always.
This is one of my favorite aircraft in MSFS. I use A Pilots Life 2, and like it so much I purchased a second copy just for cargo. After only a matter of weeks, I got a contract from FedEx. I applied every week, and got lucky. So will be spending a lot of time in this plane.
Was hoping TFDi MD-11 was going to be as good as they said, but not so much. Lots of issues still. ☹️
You amaze me, sir. Fantastic content and a great aircraft. I can certainly say, the bar has been raised with this kind of quality. Well done iniBuilds.
Great video. Need a part 2 for approach and landing. Everything that goes up eventually needs to come down :-)
As we all learn this gorgeous jet I thought I’d share something from inibuilds I learned after 6hours of tutorials. You don’t need to push CL and then CZ on the managed speed panel. If you select auto it will manage the phases of flight for you, this they tell me was inline with SOPs.
Plus we arm NAV and Profile on the ground for take off,if you have ILS frequency for the
runway it will give you thr/srs/rwy. It's for LVO takeoffs
This look fabulous, ill be buzzing this all over the place. MSFT2020 just took a back seat. Lol
Man, I cannot wait for this to drop. Thanks for the tutorial btw :)
@@GlennChambers Yep, flying it this moment
I honestly love the a300, I saw the very first a300 ever made!
Just bought this plane, and find it amazing !
excellent tutorial as always. Can not wait to give it a try.. Thanks
Great tutorial video. So enthusiastic as well !
I can’t believe I did not know about this bird and this company . I love this plane. I hope I can put librain on it though.
Ok, I had my first flight in A300 I had some issues, mainly after I switched to heading the airplane turned sharply right and than I took over, is slippery so loosing speed is hard and you have to keep your eye on it. This baby hand flies beautifully trims nice and i put her down in KSAN Rwy 27
Fantatsic tutorial.... Ready to go after work 👌
Awesome video and great aircraft addon. Love to see addons of this quality.
Very informative! Loving this bird!
Thanks for so nice tutorial video for a300. I love it. I wondering about a “ELEC IND” selection after apu start and engine start. I think you missed the changing of elec ind mode to apu gen or gen after you started apu or engine. thanks and I hope to see your next tutorial videos for a300 approach and landing.
Can u do a tutorial also on the approach / landing? Thanks! Awesome videos!
your content is so great ! i love it i learned so much from u just love to watch ya :D thank u cpt
Fantastic tutorial.
Just purchased this aircraft and it is gorgeous! Your video is great and I've now subscribed to your channel as well. Would you please share what Oakland scenery you are using and perhaps a link, if possible? Thanks!
Therapist: airbus with a yoke doesn't exist, it cant hurt you.
Airbus with a yoke:
Edwin Lee I know it’s a joke
Great video and helpful! How do you adjust the trim? Ive watched this several times and i cant get the wheel to turn
Great Bird, thx Ini! Also Ver helpful Tutorial, thx alot!
I'm confused about one thing - in all of these videos, flight plans are created with the XXXX/XXXX format, followed by SID and STAR entry, but what about the meaty bit in-between? The enroute waypoints and airways? I may be being blind and/or dumb, but I can't see any way of importing flight plans to this aircraft, as the 'CO RTE' format is something I've never seen before?
Thank you, very helpful!
Fantastic content ,awesome.
Nice V1!!!
Wonderful ❤️
Nice one!!!
One quick question, during take-off are you moving thrust leavers all the way up and than press TOGA or you leaving them at 40% and the rest is set by pressing the buttons? Thanks so much for the tutorial, any idea when we could be happy owners?
The aircraft is out now! Yes i press the TOGA switch then I move my thrust levers (hardware) forward and leave them there until I need to take manual thrust over.
This is one sweet bird
Whenever i use the left softkeys on the FMS trying to select the SID transition, it basically acts like up and down. It moves from my currently selected sid to the next sid. Is there a way to select my transition without this happening?
Hi Sir.
How do you configure a single angine TAXI on the 300 ??
Have me for the Airbus 300 from simcheck, the fmc upgrate her hetan. Unfortunately since it is not registered, I can not use it. Can you send me the link to it?
If this comes with a retro China Airlines livery, I will buy it ASAP.
Any chance you could make a vid explaining ils and how to descend via a star?
Sir i want to download this Airbus package plz can u tell me how can i get this Airbus and from which link plzzz i will be so greatful ..
Great tutorial, any ideas when they will be publicly releasing this?
Available now on ini website
@@scotteyer9568 oh right haha thank you very much! :)
Did you record a descent, approach, and landing tutorial?
Hey V1 my knowledge of the A300 is pretty low at the moment. I'm wondering why they installed a hidden clickspot for THR? Does the real A300 not have controlled take-off thrust? In my test flight, I assumed you used the "flex" calculator on the right and simply minded that you didn't go over those values in manual thrust.
The A300 does have a TOGA lever on the throttles.
@@nightflyer3242 Well yes, obviously, but im more talking about flex thrust.
Gosh I want to fly a300 so badly now... Unfortunately I'm p3d user
31:00 Are these the same sounds as the Flight Factor 767? I think they are way too similar!😰
Nope, we used our own recordings :) by default the engine sounds are way less prominent but users have the ability to adjust each sound slider to their preference!
They are noticeably different than the 767. For recording purposes I do turn down some sim audio levels so it doesn’t conflict with my voice. You have the ability to manipulate the individual sounds (engines, environmental, etc) via the EFB to your liking.
Well they do both use the GE CF6, so I would expect some similarities anyways.
27:38 How do these darn yoke things work again? lol
My a300 has auto yaw whenever I turn. Does anyone have this issue?
Did not get thise,, Do uou also push the throtle to toga and then back to clb in on the takeoff, or is it just the toga pushbutton ???
A300 is a push button in the throttle quadrant, the throttles move around, it's great,it's old school. The sim has a push button on the left side of the FMA
i m having issue engaging autothrust，when i click on it nothing happens however ob your vid it switched automatically after u pressed profifle button…i m lost
Same here. ill try and contact ini and respond.
When gone reales?
The 310 is almost exactly the same.
Is it worth buying this plane?
Yes.
It's the only jet you need to hand fly.
Why can't the FF 767 be on this level of quality. -.-
I ask my self that daily lol
@@V1Sim I took a break, a year almost. Did not touch XP at all, just flew Falcon BMS.
Came back, fired up the newest 767...... they didn't do shit. So many old issues still persist, sounds are still utter shit, night flights are still ruined by the "blotch" on the windshield that looks like a graphics glitch... systems, especially FD/AP is wonky sometimes and does stuff I do not remember it doing from the old PMDG days etc. etc.
I just cannot enjoy it anymore and it breaks my heart.
Fully agree with you that this A300, which I just bought despite being a horrible Boeing fanboi, is the best/highest quality addon so far for XP and HOPEFULLY it puts some pressure on the lazy bastards of... other addon building companies...
Great videos on the A300 by the way, helps someone a lot who prefers actual airplanes over Airbus. ;P
Now we need a beluga mod for this aircraft
Exactly
Is this x plane?
Hello,
Navigraph and aerosoft data are compatibles to updates new cycle AIRAC for this aircraft ?
Regards
Just take my money.
As soon as I saw the $91 price tag I said, "NOPE!" I would have easily paid $60 for it. This is the reason I don't own the FF 767 or 757. These addons are ridiculously overpriced.
@@GlennChambers $80 would have still be steep for me, I'd gone as high as $70 with only a little bit of grumbling. I agree on the Org store.
I know, I never bought into PMDG because of their prices. I stuck with Captain Sim and their yearly everything is $10 sale. LOL.
Maybe I’m crazing for having the 767 757 and A300 then?
Just kicked this bird out the other day
Even thore x plane 11 R.I.P i'm just waiting for msfs2020 that all😁
X-Plane is not going to die, clearly you have no understanding of what Laminar do. Good luck with MSFS, all I can say is, it's not going to be what serious sim users are expecting.
@@JasonRowPhotography and u don't know what msfs 2020 are up to and whats there future plane beyond what u've seen
@@topaviator I know enough about what MSFS are up to to be able to make an informed comment. I also know a lot about Laminar and what they are up to and to suggest RIP is completely wrong. FYI the same immature and factually incorrect statements were made when MS Flight was announced, when Dovetail was announced and when P3D was announced. What happened? X-Plane's user base got bigger each time. MSFS will have exactly the same effect. More than that I am not allowed to say
@@JasonRowPhotography ok let me ask you this why xplane and p3d users are now planning for the new msfs2020,why?
@@topaviator Show me some facts and figures that show how many X-Plane and P3D users are going to completely dump their sims and move to MSFS. You can't, because there are no figures. You simply have no basis for your argument other than you think it makes you look clever. It does not. I run one of the biggest X-plane groups on Facebook and whilst many will buy MSFS, very few are going to dump X-Plane because of it. Beyond that, even if every single consumer X-Plane user stopped using it (which they won't), Laminar would still be in business because the consumer sim is not their core business, FAA commercial sims and high end aviations apps are their major source of revenue.P3D is in a very similar situation. I am not going to argue anymore because you clearly have no real facts with which to back up your original comment and my time is worth much more than trying to argue against someone who cannot provide any logical reasoning behind their sweeping statements. Have a great day.
