FSLabs A320 Basics: RNAV Departure and Arrival Procedures

[@davey6693]

These are by far the best videos for people wanting to learn more advanced techniques in study level aircraft. Great work BB! (crap_landing_dave)

[@Blackbox711]

Hi Dave. Thank you very much!

[@folcaljet00]

Blackbox, I can't thank you enough for making these videos. You are an amazing wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

[@Blackbox711]

Hi Benjamin. Always my pleasure. Thank you for your support 👍🏼

[@swiss1887]

Hallo Blackbox Danke für ein weiteres Lernvideo.

[@Blackbox711]

+Swiss 188 .. Danke fürs Anschauen 👍🏼

[@johnpilot5021]

As ever Great, Great Video and crystal clear ! What 's the title of your latest tutorial ? I don't know if I can find it . thanks a lot for your Amazing explanations !

[@kitman9894]

Dave Hyde fully agree with you.Hey Captain can you make a video about A320s radio units?

[@ionutorama]

I would like a demo video about SRS FLX/MCT detent auto thrust. How to calculate flex temperature and how to put it in MCDU. Super videos! Thank you so much! Ion

[@Blackbox711]

I can do that. Be aware that you need either an App or use a known website to calculate the takeoff performance

[@ionutorama]

@@Blackbox711 Great! Thank you so much, Sir! Can you please make a video with all of this? Apps, internet sites and how can we use FLEX? Thank you so much again! Best regards, Ion

[@bpatterson1972]

Thank you BB, very informative as usual. learned alot. 👍

[@Blackbox711]

+Brad Patterson Thank you 😊.. surely you knew most of that 👍🏼

[@bpatterson1972]

Blackbox711 I knew alot of it thanks to you. But I have still have a ton more to learn. 😁

[@Blackbox711]

+Brad Patterson .. I am still learning after 25 years of flying. It never stops 😂

[@aaalm8724]

Good morning black box.. i love your channel.. i just want to know what throttle and rudder paddle you are using.. cheers

[@Blackbox711]

Thank you. I use the Thrustmaster Warthog Flightstick and Throttle. The rudder pedals are from MFG Crosswind.

[@aabdraheemduzu6609]

Thanks BB, love your videos!

[@Blackbox711]

+AabdRaheem Duzu .. Thank you for watching 👍🏼

[@ramzyux]

Thanks BB for such great video! A bit of a late comment here .. But really awesome channel for those who want to learn some flying techniques on the Airbus!! I am using your videos as a learning reference :)

[@Blackbox711]

Hi Ahmed. Thank you. Good to hear my videos are of help to you. Happy Landings

[@rob3449]

This is brilliant. Great job.

[@Blackbox711]

Rob Wilkinson .. thank you very much 👍🏼

[@tituslim4648]

that was a very smooth landing !!

[@abrar380]

Could you plz do a video on QDR and QDM and their proper meaning? I always forget them and it confuses me. Thx

[@AADFWspotters2]

Hey blackbox, dont know if you have done a video over this already, but I would like to see a video explaining the A320 Fuel System! Cheers.

[@Blackbox711]

AADFWspotters2 .. haven't done one on the fuel system yet. I put it on my list, it will take some time to make though. Regards

[@GoAppo]

Sick videos ! I wish i knew how to fly like you. I'm so affraid to go online and be super bad.

[@Blackbox711]

+GoAppo ... I am by no means perfect. And people don't expect me to be, since they know how complicated and demanding flying can be. So don't be afraid, try it and keep practicing 👍🏻

[@MONRFin]

As far as I know it should maintain the lower speed limit in descend and not accelerate to the optimum descent speed each time speed approaches the lower limit. I remember reeding that somewhere in FCOM.

[@Blackbox711]

+"Brain Explosion" .. can't speak for the real aircraft. But the FSLabs does exactly that. Regards

[@MONRFin]

Blackbox711 yes I know. Just saying that FSLabs made a mistake.

[@Blackbox711]

+"Brain Explosion" .. that is the problem I have. People telling me that the FSlabs is doing something wrong but cannot back it up with hard evidence. I will have a look through my old companies FCOM. Maybe I can find something on this topic. From my old memory I do recall however that the FMGC does actually go into speed mode and accelerate again. But I could be wrong.

[@Blackbox711]

+"Brain Explosion" .. found it. It says "If the aircraft gets low on the computed descent path the speed will decrease towards the lower limit of the speed range with idle thrust. When the lower limit is reached the A/THR will revert to SPEED/MACH mode and apply thrust to maintain the descent path at this lower speed." So the FSLabs correctly simulates the mode change. However what it should not do is to accelerate to the middle of the range but maintain the lower limit. Hope that helped.

[@MONRFin]

Blackbox711 thanks very much. That is exactly what I meant. It just doesn't make sense to accelerate to the optimum speed every time speed goes low. It increases the fuel burn, the noise, it makes passengers feel uncomfortable etc. Anyway, keep up the great work, BB, your videos are awesome!

[@Aviv0100]

Hi, excellent video to learn from. I have a question about approaching. after I pushing the approach button, suddenly the aircraft get off path and turn Straight to the landing strip. what is the reason for that issu? regards aviv1959

[@fafi3824]

Hello Blackbox711, I have a question regarding required RNP APCH equipment. In the A320 FCOM I found information that "Two FCU channels" are required to start RNP APCH. What is the reason for such a requirement? Why one channel is not enough? I would be grateful for Your reply. Thanks.

[@Blackbox711]

That is for redundancy. As you stated correctly, that is to start the approach. Once you are flying the approach one FCU channel is allowed to fail.

[@IvanMelon]

Hi BB. Little hardware question: What display do you have on your setup? I'm looking for a 4K display monitor but there aren't too much info about them and I prefer the opinion of someone already using it in a flight simulation environment. Thanks in advance.

[@Blackbox711]

+Iván Melon Lewis .. I am using a Asus Predator 4 K Monitor and really enjoy flying using that resolution. It is a great experience. And performance is fine with a 1080 NVIDIA.

[@IvanMelon]

Thanks a lot BB, for your feedback. Very helpful!!! And about your videos...speechless. By far the most instructive and didactic ones while fluid and funny. Awesome work, captain. Thank you fopr share your experience ;)

[@Blackbox711]

+Iván Melon Lewis .. thank you for watching and for your kind words! Very much appreciated 👍🏼

[@TheBumblebee481]

Your sim looks so much better than mine :(

[@sabre9970]

When FSL A320X is ready for P3Dv4 I hope we'll continue to enjoy your terrific A320 videos in a kinda type rating format, similar to what you did before and this r/w pilot's channel as well: kzbin.info/door/Z_X7kk3XrHbl6ZWQ4wpfkQvideos Many thanks!

[@Blackbox711]

Hi Igor. Yes, I personally can´t wait for FSLabs A320 to be finally released for V4. I have been flying way too much 737 and 777.

[@benjomin5066]

is this orbx for ground texture?

[@Blackbox711]

Yes, ORBX Global

[@americanairlines4736]

Are you a real world pilot in the A320?

[@Blackbox711]

+American Airlines ... yes

[@Joshdavies146]

Please RNP NZQN!!! Haha
