Real A320 Pilot Explains every button in 12 minutes

With everyone currently interested in Microsoft Flight Simulator, I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try to explain as much as I could in 12 minutes or less! A lot was glossed over and a few things were funky, but this should give someone a reasonable idea of basic A320 Systems.
It is important to note that while I do give a brief systems description of each panel within the aircraft, this is not an exhaustive lesson on any one system. I would gladly made a video if there is enough support for such an in-depth topic.
If you're wondering why the engine shouldn't have shut down after turning off the inner wing tank pumps, it would be because the A320 has a "suction valves," which allow the aircraft to feed fuel in the event the fuel pumps are inoperable.

would like to see a whole walk-through of the cockpit in your own pace. Also cold and dark to flight and shutdown like you would do in the real world would be cool, you know, if you felt like working for free.

[@flightdojo]

hey steed, the cold and dark video was made today!

[@Valentin_MeL]

Dude this is terible. If you started explaining things don't hurry up and explain everything, for what they need, how and when to properly use them. For example for what do you need those att mode in adirs i have no clue. Aviation is always about safety and understanding everything, and not about hurrying up. We don't need to see your fast talking record. We need an actual understanding of how thing working and when touse them properly .

[@BltchErica]

It could all be an android app and you could connect your Xiaomi to the plane via bluetooth and control it like that. These buttons are super expensive, no need for them at all.

[@Heatr53]

Thanks, this was a great video. I think that one without time constraints would be helpful though, I don't care if it was an hour long, I'd watch it if it helps me learn how to fly better.

[@flightdojo]

hey Riley, today I made a video covering cold and dark in the airbus to ready to fly!

[@Heatr53]

@@flightdojo oh awesome, I'll definitely watch that and see if I can get the A320 going.

You got a pretty good video and description here, why rush it, take your time. Thanks for sharing!

*Loses an engine when turning fuel pumps off “That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works,” -a famous dude

[@flightdojo]

Colin, as a redundant system, the A320 has suction valves. Because the system is pressurized, suction valves allow the engines to be fed fuel through gravity in the event the pumps fail or are selected off. When selecting the wing tanks pumps off, the engine would still be receiving fuel.

[@colinkennedy1718]

Flight Dojo oh yeah I know. Was agreeing with you. You’d think Asobo would get stuff like that correct but I guess not.

[@flightdojo]

@@colinkennedy1718 haha, yeah. I'm hoping we get an FSLabs A320 for 2020!

[@backtoeden853]

it would be really cool if you could explain to us all of the buttons controlls and function , i fund it very usefull, but u did rush through it, haha

[@lorenovonamsberg4442]

That demonstration of the terrain warning was very realistic it sounds like you have heard it a few times

[@mysummercarmobile]

4:12 bro is GPWS💀💀

[@admiraladmirably]

The „Pull Up“ warning sounded EXACTLY like the actually GWPS warning 💀

[@bradsimon8689]

8:00 - your description of the RAT is backwards... when deploying the RAT from the HYD panel, you only get blue hydraulic pressure; if you deploy RAT from EMER ELEC panel, you get both blue hydraulic pressure and emergency electrical generator connection.

[@flightdojo]

Good catch. Was moving quickly

[@nokia57301]

Plz can u support me how to make all buttons active in my mfs2020 a320 cockpit

[@azstratus1]

Love this video! Great info and a nice quick guide! Thank you!

[@bocefusmurica4340]

“I don’t know what’s going on! We are going to stall!” Literally the most perfect Airbus introduction possible lol😂

[@sagbon98]

2:22 is it me or is he saying "gives ya a bunch of Christmas warrants on your computer" ?? Other than that, great vid. I have my MCC coming up soon and am kind of lost.

[@abdullahpilot5537]

Can you go through all systems? In details

[@larrysouthern5098]

Sooooo where do you stick the keys into the ignition to start the airplane???? :0)....

[@Creep.-]

Haha great video!! Loved the intro :)

[@flightdojo]

thanks creep!

[@mikep11218]

Dude, just explain the damn buttons. Why do you rush it? The entire point of this video is educational, is it not? So why rush it? You ruined what could've been a great video.

[@martijn9568]

I'm afraid that this wasn't the point of this video. Usually these "x person explains y thing in z minutes" videos are clear from the start if it is going to be a serious video or not. Within a few minutes it was clear to me that this was just an improvised video which told me enough that this was more of a funny shitpost than something you could really learn from.

[@TanzimulIslamTanzil]

Sound quality is terrible. Please use a good mic

[@funiprofrfr]

Perfect. I can finally finish my build a boat jet!

[@PilotA350]

5:02 afaik the CVR only records the last 120 mins?

[@vinh2525]

Your video pan around too fast I get sea sick.

[@andrasgoczon377]

11:23 That was the apu bleed turning on

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

This was nice review.

[@Piydarija]

its funny how fast you speak hehe. Take some air. see you on stream WW II birds

[@clickbaitlover8590]

the autopilot panel: 😢

[@NONAME-tp4ex]

Hi sir Would someone please answer me From where I can get the edition that have all a320 switches and control are available?

[@flightdojo]

Fenix A320

[@RTKID]

hahahah amazing

[@alebeer87]

I think I need to watch this x0.5 speed

[@flightdojo]

gotta get it done in 12!

[@princecolliereid7507]

Thanks

[@kennyv864]

I can't find the spoiler disarm

[@TherealDCAvenger]

Now I can definitely land a plane

[@wasted2106]

amazing video! next time please dont only refer pilots as male :)

[@aspecreviews]

Demo the control laws of the FS2020 Airbus.

[@flightdojo]

Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to wait for a third party airbus module before flight control laws are accurately implemented.

[@ryleymclean313]

Which button would disable the FADEC? And the stall protection?

[@flightdojo]

The FADEC cannot be disabled, and there is no mechanical linkage between the thrust levers and the engines. Autothrust can be disabled by disengaging it on the FCU, using the instinctive pushbuttons, or moving the thrust levers to idle. The stall protection is an inherent part of Normal Law. To remove it, enter Alternate Law by disabling some redundant systems, such as ADR 2 and 3. I'm not sure these modes are fully implemented in MSFS2020.
