Real Airbus Pilot Takeoff Tutorial! A320 NEO in Microsoft Flight Simulator Basics

[@danieljohnson8545]

If I ever need to land this thing in real life I'm asking to have you on the other end of the radio. Everything about all of your videos just makes it seem easy and calm.

[@MIO9_sh]

If we ever need to land this thing in real life, i do hope the approach is an ILS approach

[@nickde6339]

@@MIO9_sh Nahh, ILS approaches are boring. You have to be the controller - it feels soooo good to land manually.

Happy to hear that Mark!

[@colchesterdean]

So appreciative of you making this video, have taken all the assists off recently and had been really struggling with take off, can see I was retracting the flaps way too early now so going to go away and practice doing this. Thank you so much.

[@320SimPilot]

Glad it helped Dean, good luck!

That's a very cool way to show how to fly I like it the way you explained listen I have the Xbox I guess it doesn't weigh right to fly or to set up all the system how I have to do do you mind if I ask you thank you by the way

[@5to9gaminghobbies33]

Awesome instructor. Can wait for full follow along flight.

[@rhatalos1997]

I would be very interested in a short video about taxiing. I can't seem to find reliable information about how a realistic pushback looks like, at how much thrust you taxi and where you can see how fast you are rolling.

[@OverlandExplorersUK]

GS at the top left of the the nav screen (right hand main screen) is your speed during taxi I believe

[@Mogammer]

For the sim, typically an N1 of 35% will get the plane accelerating for taxi, and I usually try to keep around 20 for the groundspeed.

[@marshallhogan3440]

This is for the 737, i’m sure it will apply for the A320 too. I am not sure what you mean by a “ Realistic pushback “. We usually get pushed back from the stand, onto the taxiway facing the direction given by ATC or in the direction to exit the apron. When we taxi, maximum N1 on the ground is 40%. Usually set 30-35% to break away. Taxi speeds are simple, 10kts on the apron, 10kts in turns, Maximum 30kts on a dry, straight taxiway. ( Usually do 20-25 ). On a runway, maximum speed is 50kts. ( When backtracking, ect. )

[@rhatalos1997]

@@marshallhogan3440 Thanks for all of your responses. I wanted to know if the pushback truck aligns the plane to taxi direction or if the pilots do like a 180° turn with engine thrust. So your answer was exactly what i needed.

[@invisible8334]

@@rhatalos1997 The pushback do put you in direction of your taxiway but not in flight simulator

[@pauldotdll3276]

Thank you so much! I was ready to quit but you made it so great to understand, and your voice makes it easy to follow. I finally did a very successful climb, and I also understand the aircraft better and what it's trying to tell me.

[@arildeik1751]

One more great video from 320 Sim Pilot. Even if I have seen take-off in you other videos, there were some details I had forgotten. Thank you and looking forward to your next video.

[@joseluisvallesprieto1878]

First of all, I would like to thank you for these fantastic videos. I have already seen several videos and they are helping me a lot in running this complex machine. Besides, at first I had to make an effort to understand you because of your rapid way of speaking, but right now I think I have improve a little bit. Congratulations again y I hope to see more videos soon.

[@fireantsarestrange]

Awesome! I was really wondering about all those procedures right there. It can be a bit confusing to somebody that doesn't know the Airbus. I'm not a pilot either but iv'e been using Flight Simulator for 20 plus years.

[@urtfools]

For anyone wondering (like I was for a while), the final prompt you're given in the intro is to "Disarm Spoilers". As he briefly showed, the spoilers are the speed brakes located just to the left and below the parking brake lever, and need to be taken off of the "Armed" tick and set to "0" (one notch down). Maybe I'm just a doofus!

[@urtfools]

Apologies, it's to the right and ABOVE the parking brake.

[@christianw677]

Thank you so much for your continuing help with making the complex system that is the A320neo in MSFS usable! I also have a suggestion/request: I'd be very interested in your assessment of the aircraft T/O performance under hot & high conditions, as I have been really struggling with this. I would suggest to try this out in Quito, Ecuador, as MSFS offers you two airports nearby (the new airport with ~4000m runway at 7800ft, and the old airport with ~3000m runway at ~9000ft) - great for direct comparisons. I guess you'd always take off with flaps 2 or 3, but 4000m won't even suffice to reach rotating speed at TOGA... I'd just like to know if the aircraft's behavior is realistic. I'd also like to know what the thrust rating of the LEAP-1A engines in the sim is, but so far I've found no info on this. I somehow guess they're at one of the lower thrust ratings for the 320neo, which would explain part of the problems I've encountered... Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next bit of knowledge you share whatever it is - this is actually the first KZbin channel I've ever felt is worth subscribing to.

[@joevacante2767]

Not sure if you've done this, but can you show takeoff with ATC radar vectors to the first waypoint using auto pilot and then continue along as filed? Your tutorials are the best!

[@Fe7Ace]

I decided to do some aborted takeoffs and tests for my own curiosity in this specific sim and noticed some things that might be worth knowing for you guys. I am also using the FlyByWire mod that improves the A320, but I expect all these issues are default to the sim. A bit disappointing, hopefully improved upon to make it more worth calling a simulation.. - _The V1 speed seems to be entirely cosmetic, it gives a 6 knot split behind VR in all cases I have seen._ On short runways where the Airbus will only lift off right near the end V1 will still be 6 kts below VR and you can not safely abort anywhere near it. On long runways aborting right at V1 may stop you with more than half the runway remaining, but it will still give split from VR. - _The flex temp you set in the FMGS has no effect on the numbers it gives, even if you update them._ Only the flap setting seems to modify those numbers. I don't know if that means it always assumes TOGA.. Some of my flex takeoffs have felt a bit sluggish to get off the ground. - _Autobrake doesn't work at all for takeoff._ If you cut throttles in an aborted takeoff autobrake literally turns itself off quietly and no braking happens; very safe! If you try to turn it back on in that situation it will stay as you've selected but not actually brake, and no decel will be indicated. Works fine when landing though.

Excellent video, I am new to MSFS and this video has been quite helpful with the A320 neo take off guidance. Just a question, you mention not for real world take off. How does the real world take off differ. Barring the feel of the aircraft, based on the setting in the simulator I would imagine a real world take off would be very similar in nature. Thanks

What is the purpose of entering the Transition Altitude on the PERF page? I noticed you didn't do it but I'm curious if it's for reference only or if the plane's systems use it somehow. Great video!

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Michael, great question. The aircraft will flash the QNH if it is still set once you are above the transition altitude to remind you to set STD (1013). Normally for takeoff the transition altitude is loaded by the database into the FMGC so we don't have to adjust it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@alavinch182]

Thank you for another excellent and informative video! Question... do you ever go to TOGA or FLEX power and then release the brakes for takeoff? I think I have experienced that as a passenger on some occasions. Thanks again for your tutorials!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for watching Alvaro! No we don't do that whilst holding the brakes normally on the A320, it may happen on other aircraft types though!
