The A310 cockpit is like the A320 and the Boeing 737 got together and had a baby.

Thanks for the refresher, I flew the A310-300 's 30 years ago with the A300-600R's. The fuel system is interesting with Up to 5 ton in the tail & automatic fuel transfer back & forward to balance the aircraft above 20,000ft, plus automatically pumping fuel forward on descent. More fuel on one side it would balance that too.

A quick point on the ALT SEL knob. Pulling it sets the increment to thousands, pushing it to hundreds. It's the same in the XP version. However it also activates profile descent if you pull it. So that's why it switched to hundreds after you pulled and took a while to dial target ALT in. You can push it again after activating PROF DESC to get back to thousands increment. Or, alternately, you can also activate PROF DESC by toggling the PROF button. I'm not sure if this is IRL but it is how it's implemented by iniBuilds.

Your tutorials are really great! Thank you! There are many tutorials where people explain how they do it, but you tell us how its done. Exactly what i was looking for👍

Very thorough and well explained tutorial, as per usual. Regarding HDG vs HDG S mode - I'm wondering if "HDG" is actually a heading hold mode, where as "HDG S" is a heading select mode. This is something you'd see in older jets - it was a "feature" on the MD80's. It's not emulated on Leonardo's fly the Maddog X - but on the real jet, pushing the heading select knob puts it in heading hold mode, where as pulling it puts it in heading select mode. In the heading hold mode, it holds your current heading. You can move the heading bug, but doing so will not change the aircraft's heading - it just holds whatever heading you were on when you engaged that mode. Heading select, of course, will turn to and hold the heading you select with the bug. I guess the philosophy behind the design was that if you were flying a departure that had you fly runway heading out to a certain distance, then turn to a different heading at that point, you could put the system in heading hold mode after takeoff, then bug the next heading, and activate the heading select mode when you reached that DME point. I'm sure there were a few other applications as well. You had to be a bit more creative with navigation procedures when using 1980's technology!😄

I am delighted to inform you that I a new subscriber to your channel, Captain. I must admit that I faced significant difficulty operating this particular aircraft and, unfortunately, gave up on it just one day after its release, as I couldn't locate any helpful tutorials. Therefore, I am exceedingly grateful that you have created an effortless tutorial for me and others in a similar situation. Thank you immensely for your dedication and time.

The EFB actually seems to take the airport from the MCDU (which isn't 100% realistic, but it seems to work). All you have to do for the rwy length is press the button left of the "1" button when you want to type in the length. That will give you the full rwy length. Same for the QDM. No charts or additional info needed as long as you don't do a shift.

Just Heading on the PFD will hold the current heading the aircraft is on, you cannot bug the heading (or select the heading) to steer. Kinda like ROLL mode or wings level modes but holds the current heading and not just wings level. However you can preselect a heading to fly but the aircraft will not turn until its put in Hdg/S mode. Heading S is Heading steer mode, just the opposite, you can bug the heading to the desired heading to fly and the aircraft turns immediately or on command when bugged.

If you press that magic button, autothrottle locks thhrottle levers, so you should turnoff AutoTHR before commencing rejected takeoff. So i found, if you use flex mode, and just push throttles to maximum , In this way, it also limits N1 to calculated flex, but if you want abort takeoff, you just pull throttles back. And after gear up, you can turn on Auto THR

What a great video, It was enough to get me up and running in this plane, I hate to be nit-picking, but the fact that fuel keeps burning when the sim is paused is rather an inexcusable oversight and needs to be fixed. I don"t know of any other plane in the sim that does this. Today I had to pause the sim for a family gathering and when I pressed resume, the tanks were dry and the autopilot promptly put the plane into, as the euphemism goes, "a regime of flight from which recovery was impossible".

Wow, great video - and second wow, that this plane did cost $120 for X-Plane 11 but now even does not properly work on X-Plane 12 and on MSFS free. Excellent. The graphical update is good, nice that they really modelled it for MSFS 2020 :) Let’s see if inibuilds will further develop this nice oldy but goldy and make more good planes at least on this level hehe. Overall MSFS is growing and gets better and better (quite young still). The same time LM started to update P3D to V6 (Beta is running), which is also great as there are many wonderful planes, but the pricing is extreme - at least not for my pocket possible. As more am I happy that PMDG does develop for MSFS 2020, too and has lower prices here. Furthermore PMDG will bring us at least two more wide-body long-hauler for MSFS (and continues P3D, too), FBW will do the A380, a commercial A350 or A330(?) is also coming , a free MD-11 is on the way, H145 Heli and and and. How wonderful to sim today. What a “common” computer can do today is just wonderful. Overall MSFS and P3D will grow and benefit most from each other as the SDK are quite compatible (says PMDG), DCS is there for military (outside the armed forces only P3D variants) with a small but fine community, X-Plane 12 will have it’s unique market for Mac- and Linux-User (plus some PC-Fans) though shrinking number of devs (even updates 11 -> 12 are problematic; well 11 works still). So all can be happy, more or less. Cheers, Pepe and 320 -> pls keep your lovely work up.

Its not your controls…..the plane is glitched and has throttle issues it will lock into full and will not give back control no matter what you do even shutting the plane down to cold and dark gliding and turning it back on goes overspeed until pitch is not controllable then overspeeds into ground

My Xbox is being fixed right now I can’t wait to fly this when I get it back!!

Just so you know, there's a very good reason why autothrottles don't automatically idle on the flare anymore. There was a fatal crash involving a 737 with the radio altimeter giving erroneous readings that made the FMC think it was right on the ground during an approach. That in turn retarded the thrust. The pilots were too busy to notice until they were almost stalling, and by that point, it was too late since the engines at idle took a long time to spool back up, and they were very close to the ground. So nowadays, the philosophy is that it should be up to the pilot to pull back the throttle manually to make sure the aircraft won't do it prematurely.

@ThePeperich

Жыл бұрын

Do you mean the 737-500 crash in 2021 (old certification, other system functions)? Or (could fit better) the 737-800 of Turkish Airlines at Schipol. If the later one, read the findings of the investigation and the bulletin: “The agency is recommending that flight crews, whether operating in automated or manual flight modes, "carefully monitor" primary flight instruments including airspeed and attitude, for aircraft performance and the flight mode annunciation for autoflight modes.” Isn’t monitoring the reason for PM/PF and a good CRM? Btw - if for example the A320 autolands, it will come to a total stop on the runway (or doesnt’t it). You just have to use rudder (and monitor together with PM non stop). Doesn‘t the modern Boeing have such a function, too? So there are circumstances that the AutoThrottle sets IDLE and even breaks till the plane stands still, or am I wrong - can of course be.

Hi there, wonderful video!! Is there any way to do an IFR flight and fly in NAV mode with autopilot? I mean, with the other planes, when activating the autopilot, the plane already follows the correct route (the pink line on the map), as simple as that, but on the A310 is still straight on the AP and I can only modify its direction by the HDG...? I'm referring of course to the simple way, without being an expert like you hahaHA. Thank you!!!

good video ..thanks. Are you using a mouse to use the cockpit camera? My mouse is too close to the controls and will not zoom out..other cockpits are ok. Thoughts please?

What is the difference between pushing the TO/GA button and just setting the throttle to the max on this plane (same for boeing planes)? Is full throttle less than maximum thrust?

You can see right through to the other side,through the port holes.LOL.nice vid though. well done.

I didn't understand what you did with the HDG when you put a direct to. Could you explain that part please?

Excellent! So much better than the pain of watching non-pilots telling how to fly such a plane. I did wonder if the FMS's are in Dual mode, or data has to be manually transferred from P/F to PNF or vice versa(after due confirmation with other pilot). By the way, I was very uncomplementary about FS2020's new helicopters, but this model looks very realistic, and deserves the term 'simulator'

did you ever do that cold and dark video?

The magenta text at each waypoint giving an altitude and a speed, Does this mean that at this way point i have to be at this level, i have to be above this level before i reach it or i start climbing to the indicated level when i reach the way point? Ive been practicing along with your video on a flight from EGGP TO AHAM an the flight plan ive created after 4000ft restricted Sid wants me to then jump to roughly an indicated 19,000 ft but theres no where near enough distance between the end of SID to the first waypoint to make it without going into the max climb setting, is that something that you would have to do? Thanks anyone in advance

Hi. Great tutorial. After take off, my plane is losing navigation no longer following the flight plan. It just flies straight after a couple of waypoints and becomes unable to steer neither HED SEL nor NAV mode What is this? Why does it stop following the flightplan and just flies straight ahead?.

Can you tell what replay tool you have been using, thank you ,man

Hello, I watched the whole video. Thanks for your explanation. I have two questions and I hope you like to answer them. 1) You set 449 ft for MDA. But when you reached 450ft on the Baro Alt, you didnt get any visual indication on the PFD and ND. Also there was no callout like MINIMUM. I know that many A300-600 and A310 have the callouts PLUS HUNDRED or HUNDRED ABOVE and MINIMUM with the so called FRENCH ACCENT CALLOUT VOICE. Some just call it "old voice". What indication would you get when reaching the MDA? 2) During the Flare, on the ND a small cross was visible on the right upper corner. Shortly after that the message: VECTOR was visble in green color. Then after Touchdown the messages: CATSOUNDOFF and STARTER2_OFF_T were visble on the same right upoer corner of the ND. What do the: Small green cross, VECTOR, CATSOUNDOFF, STARTER2_OFF_T mean? Are these real messages which are also visbile in the A306/A310? Thanks!

This aircraft has full working TCAS functions (at least in the cockpit) Do you know if it’ll actually alert to AI planes that intrudes on you?
