X Plane 11 ToLiss A321 with Real Pilot: How to use the Autopilot Part 1

[@stevenJohnson-mz9wm]

You know your on a good tutorial when you only have to play it once and totally understand what you have instructed.. Dude I've learned a lot on your channel...

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Steven, very kind words indeed! I’m really pleased the videos have helped you, thanks for watching!

[@simaviation3]

Your channel is the best helpful channel of A321 on youtube, I share the link to all my friend flying geeks

[@320SimPilot]

That is very kind, thank you and thank you for watching!

[@svaty_]

Very clear explanation of the autopilot with the examples. Great work!

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you for watching, I’m pleased they were useful!

Thank you I have had it for so long now but never knew how to change the speed and heading and stuff because of the up and down arrows, they were new to me at the time. You are the first one to explain that you need to use scroll wheel. thank you

[@320SimPilot]

Glad I could help!

[@jimmyholster]

Please never stop making these videos!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Jimmy!

Coming from the B737-800 i have been really confused by the Airbus (actually i'm flying the A319 from ToLiss) even if at a second glance the entire set of controls seems to be much more straight and easy. Your video is really well done and fully explanating in a plain way. Thank you so much.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you very much for watching and your kind comment! Really glad to hear it.

[@nickjuma8406]

That's a brilliant explanation of how to use the autopilot to climb as i was struggling to understand what was happening with the aircraft. Thanks alot mate. Followed, liked and subscribed.

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Nick! Great to hear it was useful, thanks for subscribing!

[@ElliottHurst]

You have an excellent way of explaining things. Thanks mate

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you for your kind comment Gilles!

[@sblur204]

Great video, helps loads, and if you don’t mind, what airline do you fly for?

[@countdavis]

Thank you very much for this great Autopilot tutorial. This has really helped my understanding. I was flying XP11 today and just after take off I accidentally knocked a button on my joystick and this action took my A319 Toliss off the MCDU route. I did not know how to get the aircraft back on route. There are normally the 3 white dots on the AP panel but I only had 1 for the speed. I could not get my head around what to do and could not redirect the plane back on the NAV route. I got further and further away. Nooooo....Unfortunately I bottled it and had to re-start the flight. Your video clearly explains the steps which should be taken if that happens again. I will take a test flight to make sure I understand these steps should this happen again. Thank you 😉

[@cpttrxpic]

This is very helpful, thanks.

[@rickfloyd451]

I really enjoy your videos. Very informative! I do have a question, though: It's about auto pilot. I notice before takeoff you set the first expected altitude. This is so that all you'll have do is engage AP/Alt once airborne. This doesn't seem to work for me (1-dot, 2-dot; it doesn't matter). I can't seem to get it to work the way you do. Is there something specific that needs to happen in order to enable it to engage once airborne? Thanks in advacne.

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Rick, thanks for your comment. Are you using the ToLiss? It is a bit hard to diagnose but if you have an altitude that is above your current one when you takeoff then the aircraft should level off there. Make sure when you takeoff you have 'CLB' or 'ALT' written in blue on the PFD, this shows the aircraft has armed those modes.

[@ElliottHurst]

Will an open climb ignore altitude constraints?

[@320SimPilot]

Yes, OP CLB will climb to the FCU selected altitude.

[@halvincheng1019]

How about the exped mode? When and how to use it??

[@benbenson3778]

How do you enable the scroll wheel setting for the articles nob?

[@SierraLimaSL]

Hey I'd like to ask you something, does the weather radar on this aircraft even work? Because I've been flying for 10 hours on this thing and it never shows. Great video BTW!

[@tomstravels520]

1. Have you definitely got it turned on (as some people seem to think it’s automatic) 2. Are you flying in stormy conditions using X-Plane 11 weather where there are rain/storm clouds that would show up

[@vortex6818]

I am still transitioning from Zibo 737-800 and therefore i have a habit of setting the V2 speed into the autopilot (but i dont turn on A/T yet), the altitude of the 1st waypoint and the runway magnetic heading. After taking off retracting the gear and flaps a notch i immediately hit the LNAV and CMD and i just have to manage the V/S since VNAV isn't really that accurate. When i took off for the first time in an Airbus, i was confused where is the LNAV button. The A/T seems to not respond to the preset speed. Since i am taking off wrom WIII 07L with heading 068 i went off course quite far until i could figure what is going on 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@320SimPilot]

Yes it's quite different! Glad it helped, hopefully you'll get to enjoy the bus for many more flights! Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@Dg-zj6jo]

thats where iv been going wrong cheers
