Challenging Approach Guide with a Real Airbus Pilot! LFMN Nice Runway 04

[@mdhazeldine]

Really interesting. I flew in there (as a passenger) many years ago on an Easyjet A320. I didn't realise it was an offset approach. It's a lovely setting for an airport. Great tutorial. It's been a long time since I've virtually flown the A320 (I last did it in the Aerosoft version for FSX) so you were going a bit fast for me, but I'm sure I'll get up to speed once I've watched a few more of your tutorials.

Thank you again for a wonderful video. I really hope, you get the time and desire to make another video with approach and landing at Kai Tak (VHHH) old Honk Kong airport! This would be fun!

[@TheMutisz]

I really was a Nice approach! ;)

[@cavok1984]

Haha! I see what you did there. 🤣🤣

[@berlinflight_tv]

Nice pun.

[@James_Loves_Planes]

@@berlinflight_tv even Nice er pun from u lol

[@u-bum]

You were?

[@henrikolsen5]

Tried it yesterday. Good fun. CGS is now only providing DME and not VORDME according to data/charts from Navigraph. There's still "12-3 RNP A Rwy 04L/R" where you can enter the bay via BISBO 1M or 1N to BISBO and carry on from there. On the A32NX Development version in MSFS I had the RNP approach encoded without the go-around (not supported) and it connected MN04A directly with threshold which is a little annoying, if you forget going to track mode before, excatly as you advised, and exactly as I forgot, despite preparation attempts :).

[@michaelwalker6577]

I just started flying to Nice in the 787, I found your video very useful! Thanks!

[@Jenci]

Fantastic beginner guide VOR approach! Yeah, that is a bit sad about the missing feedback such as racing game with steering wheel feedback.

[@707liner8]

Your 'challenging approach' videso are excellent, keep them coming!

[@christopheratkinson1690]

Great insight to this landing wonderful video. That's my evening sorted just got back from Tenerife on a 747 so I am fired up to try this. Here goes thanks for the inspiration😊😊

[@Mike-uv2px]

Just gave it a shot on the FBW and successfully landed. Great tutorial :)

[@SLKVP]

Thanks for the video! Flying on VATSIM, LFMN approach assigned me this approach (and was insisting to fly it) so, and initially I was shocked - as I was expecting an ILS RWY04L.

[@sashakalinowsky3044]

Great video! Another interesting approach is Ohrid (LWOH) in North Macedonia. Not super technical but out of the ordinary and scenic!

[@andrevdw747]

Great tutorial again! 👍🏻🛫 Gonna try it myself, will be chaos in the cockpit 😂

[@oscar4321234]

Any chance of doing a go-around video.

[@cavok1984]

Fantastic video as always. I've realised that I have never actually flown into Nice in the sim, only out of. Makes a nice excuse to go visit.

[@ElitistMagi]

Thanks for the video and beautiful camera work!

[@tuanpiccusgaming3555]

Excellent content as always. Very interesting how this is done. Thank you

[@Don-lo6vm]

Very cool 😎, if I'm ever in your air space I hope you'll be the one at the control's of my flight ✈️

[@ro4526]

Hi there, when you are following the VOR CGS you then turn right for landing 4R. The CGS is 354° and 4R is 43°. This would mean you need to turn right 49° correct? Then the duration of the turn should be around 16 s ( 49°/3) and your bank angle should be around around 25° if you're at 180 Knots (180/10)+7? But how did you know you need to initiate the turn about 3 NM from CGS to 4R?Any simple formula please? Do you the formula for radius turn ( GS2/10)?

[@aedale1]

As always an excellent tutorial, thank you.

[@liortaylor5305]

fantastic, thank you for a great tutorial!

[@320SimPilot]

You're very welcome!

[@CaptG139]

Thanks a lot for great video, could you please make a video on KTM approach.

[@TW19567]

I'm sure RW pilots live for approaches like this rather than somewhat mundane ILS approaches. I know that US crews love visuals.

[@tommos16]

On Thursday I was on an A320 AF1668 Paris-Manchester (after arriving into Paris on a 330 that was out of Malabo, Equatorial Guinea via Douala, Cameroon) that lost engine 1 just over Rouen. Returned safely of course but as a very frequent flier I never felt scared, if anything a little bit excited. That was because A) I’d used your videos to pass the flight from EG and B) had enjoyed your single engine approach and landing video whilst on the second leg! Genuinely I watched while on stand and pre take off then I dropped off. Was awoken by the compressor stall then enjoyed it all the way back into Paris. Weirder still my last Air France Paris-Manchester flight they also had an issue and had to land Flap 2. Going to have to stop flying to Africa on Air France I think!

[@rollonsummertime]

Thank you Mr sim pilot, excellent as always, I was just wondering if it was possible for you to film a real approach and combine it with the sim, i appreciate your airline might not approve, but i think it would be very interesting ,,,just a thought, thanks again 👍

[@flamermine3168]

I am pretty sure the area that you are not aloud to fly over is basically where all the rich people live. The cap du antibes.

[@fabioarrigoni1089]

Grazie.

[@320SimPilot]

You are very welcome! Thank you so much Fabio, grazie mille!

[@MrNotech]

Great vid, thanks for the clear explanation on what you're doing and what you have to look out for! What do you use for recording and replay?

[@henrikolsen5]

Could you make a combo and have the ILS tuned so it was available after turning righthand short final with ~3NM to go?

[@henrikolsen5]

I tried this yesterday, and indeed it worked out fine. Don't know if it's a normal thing to do, but I hand tuned the ILS in RADNAV and used it for extra assistance during the last handflying part.

[@taliacarvajalpuente4181]

What was your yoke and throttle ? TCA ? Honeycomb ? Thanks looking forward to make my mind on one to buy

[@alfredosauce1]

Nice Nice!

[@DT-kh6zo]

Can you perform any RNP approaches and addjust some notice how is important to do?

[@henrikolsen5]

Why doesn't the MCDU automatically load the go around engine out acc from the chart info (as it loads so many other things)?

[@chop.stix_]

Lol I read that as a nice runway, as in, a very good runway 😂

[@wotan91]

Good video. I always got confused with a tricky - not straight approaches. But how about ILS? I remember that Bodo ENBO ILS 25 approach also got this weird (not-straight) line off approach - but it's ILS, should it be that way?

[@ogaibo1316]

Yes, that's fine. You just can't do a CAT 2/3 Autoland- so CAT 1 ILS only. You disconnect the autopilot before reachning the last "waypoint" on the ILS and handfly the turn to final

[@ro4526]

Hi Simpilot, I have the mfs xbox standard version. I have tried multiple times this approach but it really seems impossible. Although I use track FPA 3° at 8.1 Dme, I get nowhere close to the expected descent rate. Or it works until the plane deviates when reaching around 5 DME, seems trying to go for runway or maybe missed approach, even when I add heading 354°.I have also tuned the second VOR frequency and course 354° to try to fix it but same issue. Can someone tell me what's wrong? I have set the right QNH before BISBO as well. Thx

[@to2101]

what replay tool do u use man

[@stevenmullan1075]

Me trying to learn a few things but my cat just wants to chase the mouse cursor over my TV

[@kilo_delta1421]

Which replay tool do you use?

[@sadbucket]

Really loving your videos, I was wondering if you could do a video on icing condition ops with the A320.

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the kind words! Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKaYZmYqLqHnbc

what a very french thing to do

Sadly this Approach doesnt exist anymore :/

[@Linoleumaz]

Very interesting, actually glad that you have left the tracking with the NAV mode in and the aircraft started to turn, nice to see what it would actually do rather than just understanding with an explanation. Thank you!

[@owens_aviation]

Hey! Thanks for the great video. I'm currently flying the FBW a32NX and can't seem to find how to engage the TOC and TOD arrows. I've watched your tutorials 3 times through and judt can't seem to figure it out! If you do happen to see this comment, please help. 🥲

[@320SimPilot]

If you are using a stable build it's possible the arrows will not appear due to the unstable VNAV. It does not matter however, begin your descent at the same point as shown on the chart in this video! Thanks for watching!

[@owens_aviation]

@@320SimPilot thank you so much for the help! 👍🏻
