i've always thought that mountains look better in X-Plane. not only the sharpness of the ridges, but something about the lighting and distance fog model makes them seem more dramatic, 3d and "present". it's hard to articulate, but at the end of the day they just look better.

Completly agree! Mountains looks a bit better in X. Especially the edges on top! Nicely done CAP! This approach was the tutorial flight for the PMDG 737NGX in FSX with a very detailed FMC set up. Loved it!

Great work. Would love to see more interesting approaches and landings like this.

Fabulous piece of flying, Captain.

You did very well getting that A346 into Innsbruck. London City is another airport which is quite limited, would you be able to get an A321 into London City airport?

Great job cap'tain !

I fly a lot to LOWI during the last month to master the circleing.... at the first weeks i added customs waypoints which were placed at the charts path (or at the turns) to get a feeling what is the ideal lateral path; now im using a 2 Waypoint of the RNAVZ08 Approach in the SEC FPLAN ; WI754 and LOWI08 to get a hint about the vertical path, but still completely without AP. Speed is set always +2 +3kt above the computed approach speed.

I love this approach

Thanks

interesting video for sure. LOWI is one of my fav airports with the airport addon scenery and mountains. I do a lot of flights from there and the 08 KPT5J departure is very interesting. It’s fun it see what the various planes ToLiss/PMDG/fenix do when they fly it on autopilot. I carnt imagine what the cabin announcement must be on takeoff “pls hang on it’s going to be scary”. Maybe it’s not meant for large aircraft maybe my ignorance. Either way it’s a great airport to learn flying

Altough roughly 1300 hours in the Airbus A320-familiy in Xplane, it is still a shame I can't manage the Circling approach at LOWI. Salzburg, Genoa, Madeira: no problem at all. But Innsbruck, no way haha!

Now that's gonna be interesting. Provided we can get it off the Apron I'm fairly positive it would work though. At light weight those long haul aircraft have am incredible power.

At least for the a320 you should be configured with flaps 3 and gear down plus apu on at the platform altitude at 9500 ft before starting to descend!

Can you make a video about Take Off Shift in Airbus and 737, please? Best example would be EDDF RWY 18 as it is done very often in reality. Also it would be interesting to know if it makes sence to depart from a runway entry far away from the runway beginning, and using more thrust, in relation to time saving. For example at RWY 18, you might wait 10 min before your turn comes for departure, because 4 or 5 aircrafts need to depart before you. So the 10 min time saving by using Take off shift would be an advantage, but with the consequence of higher thrust (higher fuel consumption), more noise and stressing more the engines.

​​@@A330Driver Please, do a video about T.O. Shift. Also the PMDG 737 has this as an option. I saw it only one time in a JustPlanes Video where it was applied in an A333 with PW4000 engines. But there were no explanations about that. Of course it would be nice to see a comparison between Airbus and Boeing. Thanks in advance.

Hello. I was accepted a challenge on the mobile simulator RFS. The challenge is flying on minimums into to LOWI with the Airbus A320-200. Dense fog, shower, overcast naturally. I broke down my FP ratio hardly. The number of go-arounds is insane! And even, I not mentioned, with winds at 20 knots from 150 over the runway. Just because I feel that impossible, just ask you, after made the big bus down here, you once able to try "my challenge"? If you made, I just wanna follows your proceed. The instrument flying is my weak point, sorry.

Hi, I use Auto Ortho, Better Pushback, the AI models for vpilot (not sure of their name right now, I'm not at home for a few days), the ToLiss Airbusses, Hotstart Challenger and airport Addons. That's about it really.

Is that realistic that a 340 is able to brake to vacate at B ? I can't see that happening irl unless its max manual brake and wheels are in fire ? Even irl, the A320 seems to struggle to vacate without back tracking the runway on MED AB

@frankbyte

10 ай бұрын

My guess is that an (almost empty) A340 has more breaking-power (in ratio to its weight) than a normally loaded A320, because of being able to abort a take off at MTOW. So it seems realistic that it stops before an A320. But it would be interesting to hear the explanations from our "profi" 🙂

@A330Driver

10 ай бұрын

Yes, it absolutely is. Modern aircrafts brakes are really effective. I don't have data for the A346, but the A330 can be stopped in about 1500m if needed. Even though the brakes will obviously suffer and your tires might very well deflate when the fuse plug melts. Keep in mind that while the A340 is a lot heavier than the A320 it's tires and brakes are designed to support that weight. Also keep in mind the difference between max takeoff weight and max landing weight and that those brakes can support a high speed RTO at MTOW. That gives you an idea of the power of those brakes. Of course the question if it's a good idea to use them like this is on a totally different page. We usually do Auto brake LOW for our approaches to enable a 1:30h Turnaround, which we actually call a quick turnaround. Use MED and combine that with warm temperatures as you won't make it due to brake cooling.

Is there a difference between the ALT button and pushing the V/S button on the larger Airbus?

@A330Driver

ALT will level the plane at an altitude and it will maintain that while VS0 would just maintain whatever you happen to be at when the plane stopped it's descend.

@A330Driver

10 ай бұрын

⁠pressing ALT will not reset the FCU Altitude, however the plane will level off and maintain that altitude. If you push to level off the plane will maintain a VS of zero, however not an altitude. Imagine it like this: If any influence happens that changes the planes altitude, for example because of thermals, ballooning during flap extension, the airplanes inability to maintain a precise VS0 during acceleration/deceleration, etc. then it will not return to it's previous value. In a perfect world VS0 would be the same as ALT, however we don't live in a perfect world and so there will be influences causing slights climbs or descends and VS0 will not correct those, but instead simply maintain a vertical speed of zero at the new altitude.

"Den Stromleitungen entlang und Bei der Kirche rechts abbiegen". Ja, echt, sagenhaft aber wahr, willkommen in Innsbruck! Man könnte glauben, das wäre das Routing für einen Radfahrer, nein, für ein Verkehrsflugzeug, ja, gigantisch. Wie auf Madaeira: "Bei GELO (Eisfabrik) rechts". Die dürfen bei dem Gebäude ja nie die weiße Fassade zB grün anmalen, da bricht der Urlauberstrom zusammen, vermute ich, wenn alle notgedrungen auf der Nachbarinsel Porto Santo landen ;-) Na gut, man würde sich daran gewöhnen und könnte Funchal wieder anfliegen, nehme ich an ;-)
