The Fix Info Page Arrives to the A32NX! Real Airbus Pilot Explains

The Fix Info page in the Airbus is a feature most pilots use daily, and it is incredibly useful for difficult approaches and for raising situational awareness. The fantastic team at Fly By Wire have now added it to the A32NX, so today I take a look at it and show you how we use it.

I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Another way of using it in the FBW right now is to mark your TOD. When you reach cruise altitude, calculate how far from the first altitude constraint on your Star or approach you need to start to descend to make the constraint and then put that distance up as a radius around the waypoint with the constraint. Obviously it works the best, if the route is relatively straight, but now you know, when you get close to the border of the circle you need to prep for the descend.

"That's all for this video. I hope it's been interesting" - of course it has! This is my single favourite source of Flight Sim A320 info. The real world context, along with presenting some functionality makes it actually stick in my head. Thank you for your amazing content, and for allowing me to be a better Sim pilot!

[@320SimPilot]

You are very kind, thanks so much for the feedback!

[@jdzzl]

I love these in depth guides from you 320 ;) I am super excited for holds and the new ground equipment coming soon!

[@dominiktomaszewski8468]

Thanks for this channel helped me a lot with the preparation to Type rating, keep up the good stuff

[@chrispatton7215]

Great video. I'm a big fan of the fix info page. I use it to draw range rings for the kdca River visual 19 approach.

[@FraggiesL1t5a]

Had to do a double take when you mentioned my home town LCLK! I love you a bit more for doing that :D

[@KeithWSt]

Definitely very useful. I’ve been wondering how to do this on the Toliss A319 in X-plane, and in particular how to extend the runway centre line. Going to try it out this evening! Thank you.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I really appreciate that you are a real world pilot! I am as well. I see so many want a be sim pilots that use non standard phraseology and SoP’s ( standard Operating Procedures) Me? A former 121 pilot and instructor on the A330 and the B777. And many of the Falcon Jets. You are a breath of fresh air!😁🛫

[@kayinoue2497]

Thank you so much for this helpful info!!

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Excellent!

[@ShotInTheDark]

That’s awesome, I always wondered why you couldn’t do something like that…. Turns out you can!

[@chemistny]

Awesome video as usual...can u please make a video showcasing the latest salient updates from the flybwire team...thank you

[@goalski134]

your tutorials are amazing and have helped me a lot. may i ask if there is a way to set a fix from your current position, whether that be a waypoint or a ring? say you wanted to know when you crossed a point 30nm, from your current position, for example.

[@rastislavbulla6011]

i use it for ark approaches for example, handy to follow...

[@tomstravels520]

Would you do a video about the BUSS on the Toliss A340? No idea it was a feature until playing with the failures and it activated

[@LightsOutBlaze]

Wait, how did you come up with the reciprocal for the radial numbers? talking about information at 6:09

[@Micsudi92]

I am using the most recent experimental version and maybe i am the stupid but i can not find this option. but it would be so useful :(

[@richardmoujaes]

My weather radar is not working and the nd terrain radar too do u have any clue why

[@georgechadwick471]

How do you get this. I can't find it!

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

HAve they fixed the real weather problem yet? Yesterday there was a major fault on the sim - aircraft wouldn't climb about FL260, engines throttle back with out warning

[@McRookworst]

Yes, it's been fixed now. Currently flying FL380

[@11clarkm]

Thanks 320! Can you please explain where you got 25nm from? I can see where you got 15nm, but can’t see where you found 25nm?

[@matprz1167]

Minimum sector altitudes or terminal arrival altitudes are established for each aerodrome and provide at least 300m (1 000 ft) obstacle clearance within 46 km (25 NM) of the navigation aid, initial approach fix, or intermediate fix associated with the approach procedure for that aerodrome.

[@11clarkm]

@@matprz1167 ahhh so they’re always 25nm?

[@budguy21]

New feature?? Didn't you already do a video on this?

[@I_Evo]

All very nice but if we're talking about situational awareness and terrain proximity then a return of the terrain radar would be higher on my list of priorities (and the weather radar as well of course).

[@Aleksandar6ix]

In my 30 years of simming, I've never used the FIX info page nor ever needed it when it was available. I doubt this will change much for me.

[@707liner8]

Another excellent video! Regards from Perth AU 🦘

Good work mate, regards from Brisbane 🐨 🇦🇺 🦘 BTW, bought YBBN (Brisbane Airport) from orbx, awesome!
