Max Crosswind A320 Landings Tutorial! With a Real Airbus Pilot A32NX

[@tomfarrell8434]

Easily the most instructive and likeable KZbin videos!

[@320SimPilot]

Very kind Tom, thank you!

[@gurukn]

320 sim pilot, I don't know if you care, but today, I did my smoothest landing so far.. -76 fpm... I rewatched your landing tutorial, and VOILA!

[@basilturk8803]

Exactly what I was waiting for!

[@320SimPilot]

Excellent! Thanks for watching

[@mikebakkeyt]

So. For how many years have I assumed that the crabbing during approach was achieved with the rudder and that the action of straightening up on touchdown was to release that input. DOH! Explains a lot of my landings :-) Thank you!

[@stuartrogers9031]

Nice insight into how professional pilots land these beautiful aeroplanes

[@lysaviator4705]

Great video as always I was just a little confused about the way you used the gusts in the simulator, from what I observed, in MSFS the winds will fluctuate between your wind speed and gust speed.This means that when setting a gust speed on 6kts and a wind speed of 30kts, you will see winds fluctuate between 30 and 6 kts (and not 30 and 36kts) so to acheive the winds that I think you wanted (near 3:34) you would need to set your wind speed to 30kts and gust speed to 36kts (to have winds fluctuate between 30 and 36 knots). In other words, the actual speed of your gusts will not be the set gust speed, but will actually be the difference between the wind speed and the set gust speed. I am sorry if this comment is too confusing,I know that that is not how it works in real life and I might just be wrong but I thought that I should point that out.

[@speedbrake22]

You can see the wind speed in the graph below it. And it only shows 7 knots

[@320SimPilot]

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. Great spot on the gusts, I think you are correct and that would explain why they were not working as I had hoped. I had expected gusts of +/- 6 kts on top of the current speed. That is how the full size simulators usually work! Interesting to see it done differently and will try again in future. Thanks for watching!

[@johnmcgloughlin9403]

Really appreciate you putting this video together. Now off to practice!👍

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you! I hope the practice goes well!

[@michaelj7677]

I'm glad that Asobo changed how to set gusts in one of the Sim Updates ... at the beginning, gusts started at a minimum of 50% of the wind speed, defaulting to 100%. With 30 kts wind we had always as least 15kts gusts additionally.

[@fantherailsbc]

hey 320 Sim Pilot, excellent video as always! Did you know FBW added AOA protection and overspeed protection, I think it would make a good tutorial video!

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed this one! I'll check out those features soon!

[@avrahamramati6883]

The protections aren’t finalized yet, they still need some heavy tuning

[@rickfloyd451]

Love all of your videos. Is it possible to get you to explain how to use rubber trim as related to crosswind landings?

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Rick! Rudder trim isn't used for crosswinds at all. It's main purpose it for trimming out the rudder in the event of an engine failure!

[@CameTo]

here i was about to try kicking it straight in real world when i'm told its only for flight sim. good job i'm so glad you remind me every time!

[@houwong7142]

thanks a lot. that is pretty useful. the video is great for visualize the extreme crosswind and reinforce the memory of runway image on the windshield.

[@CrashEd1664]

Another quality masterclass - many thanks! Will be practicing some cross wind landings after this. Great to see the FO contributing to the channel too! 👍

[@cavok1984]

Excellent tutorial. I never realised the airbus controls countered the roll when applying rudder. Done a few crosswind landings with the A32NX and couldn't work out why my landings for lack of a better word, "were crap!"

[@marceldupre2454]

Wonderfully clear tutorial as always. Thank you. Can't wait for the Vatsim tutorial, though I know it's a big job :)

[@patrickshao2740]

[@RustySpoons50]

What does the “OM” mean that flashed up briefly on the PFD @13:10?

[@amggaming3528]

Outer marker

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for watching Dan! This is an older style marker known as an 'outer marker'. There would also be a MM and IM (middle and inner markers). They help identify to the pilot that you are getting closer to the landing runway. Hope this helps!

[@fernandonunogoncalves]

Excellent video. Thank you

[@richardsuttill54]

You've done it yet again! Lovely video as always! I think your First officer wanted to have a bit of fun! (My dog came into my room in CTP and experimented what would happen if an A350 could do a barrel role XD) so looks like our loved animals want to have some fun! Thank you for the video. i can do my crosswind landings better now :)

[@Airbusa-zf8nr]

With crosswind landings so important to nail right and given the enhanced and mature features of msfs (fbw) since your tutorial.... Can you please do another of these fabulous lessons? Perhaps with storm x or y or similar proving a little problematic! I know so many of us would like to put some precision and finesse on these challenging events. Thank you

Great tutorial. What do you think of those videos where the gusts are so strong that it is throwing airliners around very close to runway? Why are they attempting to land in such extreme conditions?

[@neilparkes4963]

Very, informative, many thanks

[@DesiroDriver]

Great video. I find in the Toliss 319 I’m having to use some slight aileron into the wind after decrabbing to counteract the roll. I’m adding rudder gently, not kicking it. I believe with actual Airbus philosophy I wouldn’t actually need to make that aileron input? Or am I doing something wrong? Generally speaking the Toliss is pretty top notch.

[@voytekcyvr1936]

Great tutorial, I wonder if there possibility to do it in the Zebo or A300 to see the difference. A320 is really helping the pilot little bit by keeping wing level.

[@RamiLaw11]

[@dhananjaysuresh4014]

Wow this tutorial was so easy to understand compared to everything else. I wish I had it when I was trying to land at KJFK and drifted off the runway. So much thanks for this I can't wait to try it! P.S It turns out I mapped my rudder pedals reversed all this time now its baked into my muscle memory 😞 . Been struggling to get my feet to move them correctly...

[@theploofinator5105]

[@andyprobert7040]

Hi, thanks for the video, are you using side stick to crab?

[@rondeldebbio9219]

Great video. One question. Does Vapp need to be adjusted for the crosswind? Thanks again.

[@omarkhan8410]

Thank you for sharing. Beginner question is drift applied using rudder trim? Do you need to manually apply drift when disengaging autopilot or does it remain the same as when the autopilot was engaged?

[@borunsovandara3407]

useful ❤

[@theengelsbak]

Ive learned everything I know about the airbus from you and a absolutely love it! Great and informative. Means a lot. Do you have a link to the Virgin Sun livery for the FBW mod? A cant seem to find it.

[@jdshemp]

Nice,no yaw roll coupling,a first for FS?

[@samsee23]

just found this video. just a quick question, on final are you holding the rudder on ?

[@320SimPilot]

No, only in the flare do you need to apply the rudder to straighten up! Thanks for watching!

[@samsee23]

@ thank you. Love the content

[@Dg-zj6jo]

amazing

[@infinite2246]

Great video! But don’t you need to keep the ailerons into the wind on the roll out?🙂

[@320SimPilot]

Not in the Airbus once fully touched down! It can make things worse as it adds pressure to the 'upwind' wheel which increases the weather vane effect. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.

[@infinite2246]

@@320SimPilot great to know, thanks!🙏🏻

[@ShotInTheDark]

Invaluable, thanks. What replay system are you using?

[@sidplays77]

Make it look too easy great video! One thing I have noticed in MSFS in strong winds is despite the fact I apply opposite rudder sometimes full deflection the aircraft still skids off the runway? This is in most aircraft in my experience. What’s your thoughts on that?

[@maggern12390]

Just landed in Keflavik in some heavy crosswind in the sim😂

[@avrahamramati6883]

At this point the Dev version is the most advanced one, with added protections, improved flight model, engine model & control surfaces. The experimental is where they will begin development of new flight planner and LNAV, but it’s very early on with nothing to show for the meantime

[@rangerrick8220]

Very good video - still perfecting my crosswind landings. What replay tool are you using for FS2020?

How do you record videos because the default replay tool does not work with A32 NX.

[@ebos9515]

Thanks man, I learned something new. Crosswind landing = I'll need some rudder pedals.

You are welcome, thanks for watching!

[@GabrielRodrigues-fg6ex]

Oh, this is too advanced for me. I'm still trying to keep centerline on zero-wind approaches. :(

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Do student pilots/instructors have a saying they use that helps them remember which rudder pedal (left/right) to use based upon the cross wind? I always seem to doubt myself which pedal to use. I end up touching the rudder pedals for a bit to figure out which one is the pedal to use. Which is dangerous since it can cause the AP to disengage (It does in the TBM). 324 Likes and climbing!

Stumbled across this video which I’d already seen before when it came out (I watch all your videos), and just struck me how much better the sim looked two years ago. The clouds and lighting are so much better than they are now. It hit me straight away. Must have been degraded over the past few years through the sim updates.

[@Danpet88]

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks Daniel!

[@Cessna172SNavIII]

I can’t be the only one that notices that crosswinds in this game are overmodeled? As if the wind is pushing harder than it should on the vertical stabilizer causing the aircraft to weathervein

[@craigduncan4826]

There is a real life production environment video which shows a worker utilising a compressed air hand actuator, to pump over 200 litres of compressed air in to an unsuspecting and nominally behaving engineers anal sphincter. The large compressed, cold, expanding and super sonic volume of air entered the airman’s anus and caused massive internal damage with immediate effect. The lower internal organs were blown wide apart within the body cavity and as expected, resulted in death of the victim. So all modern high air line equippped shops throughout the industrialised world, have hereby been notified to never inject any fluid into any other worker. Regardless of state (solid/liquid/gas/etc). Never should volumes of gas be transported between natural sphincters through means of injection purely in order to create new sounds and comedy thereof. At the cost of an engineers life.

[@craigduncan4826]

For those childish enough to enquire as to the incident mentioned, audio is available separately from the video and both are horrific- not funny in the slightest. Through the whole project we are told to squeeze squeeze squeeze- quiff squirt frrrrt: wet. Better wet and stinky than dead in a dingy.
