ILS Tutorial with a Real Airbus Pilot: ToLiss A321 X Plane 11

Today we look at some of the details of flying an ILS approach in the Airbus!
Discord to find out early about upcoming videos and streams: / discord
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. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Thanks for this one, Captain. Not only is this a great tutorial for the newer Airbus pilots, but there's some really useful information for the more experienced pilots too! New pilots now have a clear and understandable set of tutorials to get then through each phase of a complete flight in an Airbus, something that will prove invaluable for learning to fly these aircraft well.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you Richard, I'm glad there was still some extra details in here as well as hopefully the basics!

[@Taylor314T5]

I’ve been flying the ZIBO mod in XP11 for a long while, just picked this aircraft up yesterday on sale, flew it with no guidance. As I’m trying to set up for my arrival, I was looking high and low for the nav radios to tune the ILS. I worked out that the FMS (whatever Airbus calls it) managed it, sort of like an RNAV, but still felt very wrong. I’ve enjoyed several of your videos now. Great content, subscribed.

[@cptdutchy3108]

This is just amazing content pal! Very good explanation!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks CptDutchy, thanks for watching!

Loved it and subbed. Need this for my Toliss A319 flight today! :D

Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you !

Love he vids yo. Happy flying

Thank you!

ENCN Kristiansand Kjevik! That's my local airport! :D You can see my house on the right on final approach :D

[@320SimPilot]

Fantastic! Maybe in the new flight simulator it will be there! Thanks for watching and your comment.

Several questions: 1.When approaching for a Cat II/III landing do we simply press 'APPR' once the 'Pink Diamonds' are lit up on the PFD and dont mess with the altitude setting (for the autopilot)? I've been close to landing at WSSS 02L and i was too high and was forced to go around. Is it probably because i messed with the altitude selector after i pressed the 'APPR' which overrides the 3 degree descent the plane is putting itself into? 2.Is AP 2 only used for Cat III landings? 3.Does activating the 'APPR' button (AP 2 disabled) automatically put the plane into a 3 degree glideslope? 4.How to activate the Landing checklist on the upper central panel? Does it come automatically as soon as 'Gears Three Green' ? Thanks ^^

[@320SimPilot]

You would leave the Alt at your last cleared altitude or the platform altitude (from the chart), then once you get GS* mode you can set it to your Go Around Altitude. AP2 is used to make the aeroplane CAT 3 Dual capable, but I normally use it always as it provides a backup. The APPR button does not start a 3 degree approach, it just allows it to capture an ILS. The 'Landing' message memo/checklist appears automatically on approach, it appears later after a go around. Hope this helps!

[@bodapatladivyendu6777]

Appreciate your work sir but I have one question as a real pilot you will want a addon which is closest to the real aircraft but you are using toliss which is not study level why dont you use flightfactor a320 or fslabs a320 (if you have p3d or fsx) ? just a curious question to know what is unique about toliss

[@IDRNKWTR]

Thanks for the very informative video.

[@marcinrotkiewicz502]

Thnx! All the best!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for watching Marcin!

[@tomstravels520]

If ATC say something like “maintain 160 knots until 4 DME (apparently common at heathrow) does that often cause any difficulties? I’m guessing you keep gear up until then to reduce drag and engine noise

[@320SimPilot]

Yes this is possible and you would leave the gear up if possible for those reasons, I will talk about it more in the future!

Im having some serious issues here . Whenever I hit 'LOC' or 'APPR' , my heading knob turns to the right by itself and my plane starts to turn right . Am I missing something or its just a bug ?

Hey Captain I have a confusion about Toliss ıls approach and would like to ask you, when ı press the approach button planes goes to turn around itself and do not establish on the runway and the glide path , I’m so confused , ı will be glad if u help .. thank you

[@bigbearone2023]

Hii sir, first of all I'm a big fan. I have a doubt ( idk if I'm making any mistake) whenever I press the Loc for capturing localiser the When I press APP my plane starts turning right and my whole landing is messed up after a great flight. Idk what mistake I'm making but I did everything right. Please help me!!!!!😭

[@Dg-zj6jo]

hi there sir hope your all good my tollis a319 seams to not capture the gslope for some reason

Great :) Almost 250 subs till 1k

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Swappy as always! Yes not so far!

[@DanielRlr]

Hello! First of all, thanks for the great video. I keep wondering what I'm doing wrong, because I don't ALWAYS have the problem, only sometimes. Correct QNH is turned in, diamond is visible, I press APPR and activate AP2, the aircraft turns towards the final, but immediately afterwards it turns right off course and flies away from the ILS, so to speak. As soon as I deactivate APPR again, it comes back halfway on course, as soon as I activate APPR again, it turns away again. What's going on there? I'm really desperate. : / Thank you and have a nice evening sir

[@lucafiorini3210]

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

[@Oli-zm2rn]

I have a big problem... when activating APPR mode and LS showing the ILS path the plane starts turning away!! Any idea what causes that?

[@simaviation3]

Big like.

Thank you!

[@Dg-zj6jo]

can you do a stream in the below livery one day LOOKS GREAT Profit Hunter" Livery

[@320SimPilot]

Great livery indeed! I hope someone makes one for the Airbus!

[@StellaKay21]

How did you make the ailerons act as spoilers on landing?

[@gignmechanik8482]

Hello Captain :-) On B737 the maximum flaps position to use with speed brakes are flaps 10. What is the maximum flap position to use with speed brakes deployed on A320 family aircrafts?

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Mechanik, thanks for watching! On the A321 speed brakes can only be used up to CONF 2. For 3 and FULL they will not work (they will retract automatically if you are still using them!). On the A319 they work until COF 3. On the A320 they work until CONF 3 but only half deflection whilst the autopilot is on.

Thank you DG!

any plans from Tolis for a320?

[@maiz1604]

In the rad nav in ils i only type the TGL in this case in vor 1 and 2? This is only?

[@swagicebear1688]

do the same steps apply for the A319 toliss?

[@YankeeBravo1]

Yesterday i had an incident were i was going on calculated decent and the plane automatically activated Approach phase and i clicked on appt once jewels appeared and all went well in the almost im middle of the GS around 6nm from touch point the appt went off and i ended landing visually. What are the cases that it disengage alone ??

[@320SimPilot]

Hi thanks for watching. Did the ILS indicators (jewels) disappear too?

[@YankeeBravo1]

320 Sim Pilot no it was there but theres noway i can push the appr button its off

[@tomstravels520]

I tried the London city approach in the A319....didn’t end well (yes I know they don’t normally operate it there but there is no A318)

[@320SimPilot]

Yes that is quite a special approach! There are plenty of extra procedures used to get the A318 into LCY. Thanks for watching!

[@SaurabhKumar-hr7fn]

Is Toliss better than Flight factor a320?

[@yannisl8259]

yes, and its on sale rn

[@tiagomartins6862]

How can i find this charts pls?

[@captainrobban1994]

Everytime i turn on the approach in the MCP the plane start turning right even though i'm at the localizer and waiting for the glidslope. I only have 1 autopilot on. What could i do wrong? I have a video out on my channel tomorrow that shows exactly my problem with the ILS if you could take a look at it. Ignore the horrible landing itself.

[@ndmz903]

Have you updated the aircraft?

[@captainrobban1994]

Yes. There is something i’m doing wrong somewhere. I just don’t know what it could be.

thats way more coomplicated than 737 unless you're considering all viewers as pro like you :(

Hi Yousef, thank you for the feedback. I understand there are a lot of details in this video, I was trying to show some aspects of day to day Airbus flying as well as the basics, I appreciate your thoughts on it. Hopefully this can help you with the Airbus!

Bro just easy does it with details were not pilots in real life sometimes u mention things very fast taking into granted that we know it
