A320 Base Training - Full Tutorial | Touch & Go Landing Practice | MSFS 2020 Flybywire A32NX

In this video, we take you through the Base Training that new cadets must undertake prior to becoming Type Rated on the A320. Each new pilot must undergo 6 successful take offs and landings at a high standard to be signed off by their trainer before being allowed to fly passengers. We take you through how to do this in complete detail with full instructions and guidance all the way through. Once you get the hang of it, base training and flying circuits is great fun and a brilliant way to practice your landings at some of your favourite destinations.

This Video was, even being a little older, really helpful for me finally getting into some repeated landing training (in my case) with the Fenix a320. Thank you so much 😊… I did my base training at EDHI (the Airbus base in Hamburg Finkenwerder) Runway 05 … with a really nice takeoff over the Elbe river and the city of Hamburg. The first manual round was terrible, but I got better every try after that. Being able to do several otherwise identical approaches in a row is really a good training. Keep up the good work with your videos 👍

[@AdminVortex762]

Thanks for this. When I've tried manual landings previously I've ended up fighting the aircraft all the way down despite AP being off. I hadn't realised you need to set the VS rate. Practice time! I'll also have to look into TRK/LAT mode.

[@benengelen6224]

Really nice tutorial! I do enjoy watching your channel! The amount of work you put into this is amazing.

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

Thank you Ben. I hope it was helpful for you.

[@mylife1221]

Great video. Been flying proper flights but never really practiced landings, needed some mental confirmation on how to program it and you explain it perfectly.

[@fernandonunogoncalves]

Great tutorial. Thank you. I will do my flight at LPPR (Porto)

[@paddyredmond3039]

Many thanks for that Gavin. A great tutorial.💥 Been auto flying the A320 NX Version for about a year now and this was a great exercise. My initial attempt out of Birmingham EGCC took me on an extended runway heading until I could get it all configured 🙄 and had a very long and wide downwind leg (which gave me ample time to read my notes) . After 3 restarts I managed to shorten and narrow my downwind legs but still room for improvement. Lots of practice still required and I might have to make this a monthly exercise. 😮

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

Practice makes perfect. As you can see from the vid, there was still items missing from me. Much easier with a 2 man crew.

[@chadvader974]

The autopilot is doing very strange things for me.. sometimes it will just disengage the autothrust and shoot to the moon, on the first landing and take off I go toga and the LVR climb message never appears

[@RTMZ06]

Very challenging in low visibility conditions or with some proper winds factored into the mix, thank you for the tutorial, what a great way to get some practice in on the most crucial phases of flight.

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

If the weather has low vis, then base training is usually cancelled as its all done VFR.

[@Chikyel]

Thank you, very instructive. I come from Xplane 11-Toliss. I found it pretty impressive.

[@KenStJohn-nj4zx]

Doesn't really allow for following here since you haven't shared the A/C loading. Therefore, at least in the Fenix, without cargo/pax/fuel and a load sheet, it will not compute v-speeds automatically.

[@bmw1200]

Once again, another great training video. I have noticed that I can activate the approach each time around but everything else works correctly, apart from the pilot ha ha

[@DanLarsen1985]

This is a very informative video! It would be great if you updated it with your new system and the fenix. Thanks for all the videos that you do!

[@dino91vu]

This is very fun to do, i'm doing it eversince i saw you doing this in live stream 😃

[@paddyredmond3039]

I found it much easier to get into Speed mode after I assigned a button on my controller to "Toggle Flight Director" - which switch both off simultaneously.

[@NicolasCadilhac]

This is exactly what I experienced. I did a few patterns, and on some of them, the plane would not want to go into SPEED mode, so the speed was increasing like crazy. With a button to turn FDs off, I was consistently getting SPEED mode.

[@dirkplatt4972]

Danke!

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

Thank you so much for your kind support.

Amazing tutorial thanks for uploading what scenery are you using I seem to be getting double overlay runway lines and numbers? Thanks in advance 🙂

[@budguy21]

if you have default scenery AND download scenery then disable one

[@FQTV320]

Brilliant tutorial! Thanks

[@michaelhamilton6553]

Good tutorial, clearly and logically explained. I do enjoy your content but it's has made me realise just how rubbish I am. I understand the theory, I just can't actually control the airbus manually. It pitches wildly up and down no matter how light I am on the controls so I can't maintain a stable altitude. I also don't seem to be able to get the turns right and can never line up. I've checked the calibration of my flight controls and they're ok so obviously It's my lack of ability that's at fault. I've practiced this dozens of times and instead of getting better I seem to be getting worse. I think it's time to hang up my headphones and admit flying the airbus is beyond my abilities.

[@srenbohn4904]

Am I the only one having really hard to see the PAPI lights in MSFS2020 (before in last second) ? Especially in daylight. As it is now I wouldn't be able to use them in daylight to see if I'm on the glideslope at all.

[@mauriziobrini]

Hello, you can do a tutorial or a flight with A320 FBW, DEV version, which includes a landing with RNAV procedure. Thank you very much and congratulations on the videos you bring to the YT channel.

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

[@jeffhiew5795]

Nice tutorial. BTW, for Touch and Go, in the flight isn't in NAV mode, what is the purpose of activating the Approach Phase in MCDU?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

What happens when you push the SPD bug for MANAGED SPEED?

[@jeffhiew5795]

@@Easyjetsimpilot I guess the Approach Phase is to ensure that managed speed follows the flap handle. But from your experience, for final approach, is it better to descend at managed or selected speed?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

@@jeffhiew5795 that's it. If you dont arm the approach phase then when you want to slow to final approach speed (Vapp) by pushing for managed speed...you'll shoot up to 250kts (and yes, that's happened irl with pilots too!) Managed Speed is far better. It's one less thing for you to concern yourself with, and if your setting your Vapp speed manually, then GS Mini won't work.

[@jeffhiew5795]

@@Easyjetsimpilot thank you for the explanation

[@stephanaitch]

I’ve done everything you told following you step by step but I’m not able to switch into Managed Speed using the stable Version of the FBW A320 Neo. Why could this be?

[@budguy21]

make sure in Approach mode

[@a32xaviator50]

Hi easyJet, very nice video but, i have a problem with fbw a320. Its imposible go upper than FL240 due weather i think, do you know the solution? Maybe disconnect the live weather? I need help :S thank you so much, continue uploading videos 👌👌

[@pinns]

This is a bug when temperature suddenly rises to 250+ deg and yes you are right :disable live weather when above FL240 then enable when landing.

[@a32xaviator50]

@@pinns thank you so much, yes i'll do that. Do you know if un the Next patch It Will be fix?

[@chasesawyer8087]

Hell would it be easier if I did this at the same airport or does it work for any airport?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

Any airport, as explained in the vid.

[@regurkot]

Is it VFR or IFR flight?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

VFR

Hey there, Definitely earned a sub from me, for all of the work that you have put in. Quick question if you can. Do you by any chance have a tutorial as to how to utilise a stream deck with the FBW A320? I have tried with limited amount of success to set mine up with this aircraft. However I’m going to be completely honest, I have failed miserably. If you have a video like this already, that I haven’t noticed, I’d be happy to watch it, and if you do not have one yet, I’d really appreciate if you could create one. Thank you in advance! 🙂

Ah and just to confirm I know that there’s a profile for the Stream Deck XL. However I only have the 15 key version, instead of the 32 key one.

[@samlivera3683]

Whats your hardware?

[@BviSimPilot]

Is this a scenery addon as I can't find it on the world map where it should be?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

No, this is a default airport.

[@BviSimPilot]

@@Easyjetsimpilot Ok. thanks very much. keep up the good work. I watched the airline2sim series for the a320 and they also went over the touch and go landings/base training.

FIX INFO is not selectable sir ?

You need the Flybywire dev version of the A320NX
