FMGC lesson - Loading a flight plan

[@edwardsp1916]

Thank you, this should help me learn the FMGC for the FSLabs 320.

[@fernandog.ramirez.6917]

Hey man, huge thanks for that informative video, now that gives me an idea of how to properly program the MCDU once i start my sim training.

[@germantobon5498]

I normally use the inverted U to fill out pages,. If you listen to the ATIS format that’s how it is arranged

[@AK-qj9id]

Thank you very much for this video.

[@rene1821]

It is clear and concise.

[@bitterlemonboy]

Do you use floppy disks to update the nav database? Or flash disks?

[@TylerWynn]

where did you get that mcdu and dose it interface with x-plane 11?

[@JustMe00257]

I've never flown airbus, Boeing only, the airbus FMGC is apparently more advanced and has very nice features however Boeing FMCs are way more intuitive to preflight as each next step is prompted on key 6R and far less data and page changes are required.

[@Lak62_101]

100% agree. The Airbus MCDU is very easy to use and it helps you a lot while typing in all of your data. And yes the Boeing one is very user freindly. You can just jump from step to step :)

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

And now i can lift ma Aerosoft Airbus well -- actually a great video :)

[@siang4619]

Thanks for sharing for a Boeing pilot, interested!

[@ericc7936]

if i want to use x-life do i have to firstly setup mcdu in ff a320

[@wong2230]

Thank you

[@a320training5]

Welcome!

Hello, What is all required to get a gross weight on lower ecam?

[@a320training5]

On the newer standard of MCDU, the gross weight will not appear on the lower ECAM until first Engine start. You can check the gross weight prior to push-back on the FUEL PRED page. Regards.....

[@RiorXD]

just set my first flight plan in flight from scratch simulator using this .It doesn't let you do everything but the first few mins definitely happened

[@王道元-z3s]

so helpful! thanks a lot!

[@savagecub]

What a busy little box. I’m certainly going to miss the Boeing’s ability to uplink winds.

[@donjohnson2426]

And route, and flight number, and temps etc etc etc

[@RobLascano]

More please! Thanks!

[@fernandog.ramirez.6917]

How twisty and confusing is the A320’s MCDU, I’ve been told other aircraft have a more user friendly and straightforward FMC.

[@NipapornP]

Bu that's wrong, as reported by many pilots.

[@fernandog.ramirez.6917]

Nii P. Yeah, actually I agree with you. It is the lack of practice what makes it a bit tedious. But if you know your DIFSRIPP and your HAT everything flows like a river.

[@jemand8462]

then again airbus does a lot automatically that boeing's doesn't. flight phases for example

[@donjohnson2426]

@@jemand8462 such as what?

[@yswarf]

Thank you sir very clear

[@ericc7936]

i guess you are downloading from Simbrief as fms file, right?

[@a320training5]

Hi Eric, this is an actual aircraft MCDU so it is using a normal database. Regards....

[@g7usl]

This is NOT the CDU of FS Labs! Looks more like the Entertainment version from Aerosoft.

[@TheVamoosetech]

g7usl this is the real cdu of an airbus a320....

[@jemand8462]

lol, you think fslab is more real than a real cdu :D

[@nathanp.barclay1518]

Did this in FS 2020

[@ilankrt]

Good tutorial but I wish more information about data. For examle what means the 3 weather data....

[@techmonster2632]

what if the wind changes 😂

[@atsubeckley3354]

You've done very well Bro but how do you enter the licence number and activate it please?

[@a320training5]

Thanks for the query. This is an actual aircraft MCDU so it doesn't require a licence number. Regards...

[@telosfd]

It's need lot of studie! Thanks.

[@ellisjames7192]

Way too complicated for me. All I want to do is flight sim. I am not trying to be a real pilot.

[@jemand8462]

then you should watch a tutorial for your specific flight sim plane. People coming here either want to become a pilot or want the flight sim (!) as real as it gets - like me.
