Real Airbus Pilot Taxi Tutorial! Microsoft Flight Simulator A320 NEO

[@Mr.Martini549]

The centerline reference from left seat when taxing was super helpful! Thank you.

[@320SimPilot]

Glad it helped Mr Martini!

[@11clarkm]

Google Maps seems to suggest that Heathrow is actually exactly like that with a displaced threshold on 9L and 9R. Frighteningly accurate!

[@Finnb2004]

Hey I love these tutorials can you do one on flying RNAV or VOR approaches I got told to fly one in JFK on VATSIM yesterday and had no clue what I was doing (specifically for the FlyByWire A320N MFS2020)

[@squadric7722]

agree

[@Finnb2004]

I realised I said VNAV before I meant an RNAV and VOR approach

[@tolas87]

@@Finnb2004 He's done RNAV approach tutorial in X-Plane (ToLiss), search for it in his channel.

[@Finnb2004]

@@tolas87 yeh I know I fly on MFS2020 and because it’s a lot less realistic (but getting better) it might not do what the realistic Toliss X Plane A320 can do. I should’ve been more specific about what sim I’ll change that

[@df98156]

If you use the free FlyAndWire A32NX community mod, it should act the same way as real life. They've done (and are still doing!) so much to improve the base aircraft. Definitely going to become the "Zibo mod" of FS2020 in terms of universal recommendation.

[@roymarks6720]

Yet again another brilliant video, that answered a lot of questions for me regarding taxi procedures at airports. You have added immensely to the immersion I get from the sim, even after many years of me being a sim pilot. Thank you for making these videos available to all.

[@salokin1]

I'd recommend the "Pushback Helper" add-on, especially if you have a second screen on which to park it, to help you avoid the ATC method.

[@misterchippie]

Me too, it's a great little addon

[@misterchippie]

@MichaelKingsfordGray Seems like an odd reply - are you ok?

[@salokin1]

Great video on a part of the job that few others bother to cover. I landed at EHAM yesterday evening and had the same difficulty at C3 with lighting ... thought I'd gone wrong!

[@rangerrick8220]

Taxiway speeds - 30 knots straight ahead unless you fly for Southwest or Ryanair... then V1 is allowed... as is mid-runway (butt ahead) takeoffs.

[@timsmith5980]

I find all of your videos to be super informative, relaxing and exceptionally helpful to novices like me and others as we attempt to try to get to grips with aviation in the new simulator and study a complex A320 airliner along with its many systems! May your streams and videos continue long in to the future! Thank you!!👋👋

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you Tim, very kind of you and I'm pleased you enjoy the videos!

[@JC462345]

Loving the videos! They have been of great help. FYI, the latest FBW dev version appears to have fixed the taxi/thrust issue. Surprised me the first time as I started to creep forward after engine start, gotta keep the parking brake on! And it does indeed slowly accelerate at idle thrust. Also, their new installer makes it super simple to keep the mod up to date with either the dev version or release version.

[@simbee3634]

Thanks for this... just a note - I've checked on GoogleEarth - Heathrow does have a take-off arrow zone on the threshold at both 09L and 09R. Again the sim is amazingly accurate.

[@saqibsiddiqi1355]

I recommend little navmap. Its a free software which gives real time gps of your sim. It even shows taxiways with stands. And you can set it to your ingame scenary

Again, ANOTHER brilliantly given tutorial to all us willing and eager sim pilots. As i mentioned before your voice is really calming and i bet you even make an in flight single engine failure sound as calming as the drinks trolley coming round. Mind you a double Engine failure on your A320 and that might test your calming voice LOL. Unfortunately i have fallen out of love with MSFS until they improve the Airliners. The 787-10 is a joke, and even the FBW A320 is testing my patience with it's ILS landing issues. (Landed at KSFO and although my ILS diamonds where lined up on the display when i came out the VERY low cloud I was way off. So gone back to the 737-800 in Xplane and the good ole Zibo version. MSFS & FBW Will make it better, but for now XP has me back.

[@salokin1]

I suspect that it's the scenery file at KSFO that's to blame. I won't go back there for the moment!

[@richardsuttill54]

Very useful video tutorial and superbly illustrated and calmly presented.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you Richard!

[@wokninja]

Awesome! I always wondered about the speed readout on the ground.

[@michaelpietzsch]

I guess when Navdata sync with navigraph is working better you can just read the charts.... and since you have the reference on which gate youre currently at you can most def navigate your way through the airport....

[@savagehaters]

Amazing work man! Love all your videos sim pilot!

[@reece650]

Thank you so much for your time in these videos they help so much I learn so much from your videos and your a real life pilot which is awesome.

[@Frangus_]

Might wanna check out Pushback Express. Makes pushback a bit easier and a bit more realistic.

[@JackIanLin]

Pushback Helper for MSFS2020 does something similar: flightsim.to/file/853/pushback-helper-v2-0

[@MikesBasementx]

Another little trick that you can use, is to call up the airport chart (not taxi way or parking) and then turn on the white arrow (which will turn red). Then you can actually see where you are in relation to the airport and also often, the taxiways.

[@tolas87]

[@NameNik223]

By the way, there is a very useful program called Little NavMap that shows your location while you're playing MSFS. It shows taxiways and runways in airports and also lots and lots of useful info in the air. I always use it when I'm trying to taxi to the runway I need

[@nanischoko8150]

Is it free

[@dhamilton63]

Great video! Picked up some great information to incorporate in to my sim experience. Thanks for putting this together.

[@320SimPilot]

[@rosmanczyk]

If you want to open the VFR map and also steer the plane in drone camera mode, press C on your keyboard and then you can control everything as normal and when you want to go back to camera drone mode to move the camera press C again. :)

[@NoNamerMr]

great video as always! in the new dev version of the A32NX mod, there are some major improvements of the plane behavior. Like its now possible to taxi on idle (and many many more). Also the new engines sounds got added.

[@jhogoboom]

[@baf_mcnab3065]

Brilliant tutorial and information, and it's making me chuckle after watching your last live flight when you were taxiing in :P

[@DolecekRadim]

I would appreciate some video explaining what is difference between ILS and RNAV and how to proceed RNAV approach. ILS seems very straight forward, but I am less confident flying RNAV. Thanks for making these videos, always learning something new.

[@Stellastronza89]

Thank you very much! This is going to save me so much pain in the future.. In my first vatsim session i got lost in Rome Fiumicino's taxiways following ATC directions :)

[@soscotty6600]

needed this as the gatwick freeware doesnt have the taxi assistance availible so need to learn :)

[@ChristianNelsonn]

What I am curious about is the procedures to follow on a small airport where there is only one taxiway that connects to the runway in the middle and you need to use the runway to get to your take-off position. I imagine you would hold short before the runway, switch to Tower, get clearance to resume the rest of your taxi on the runway and get take-off clearance once you get to the start of the runway. Which of course doesn't quite work that way in MSFS with default ATC. So I sometimes get clearance before stepping onto the runway, and sometimes just get to the start of the runway and then get clearance.

[@maverickonyoursix]

That's how it is on Heathrow because of the M25 motorway before the runway (Cannot land at the beginning of the runway, but you can take off).

[@PhilippeBorfiga]

Hi ! Perfect explanation like always... ! Thanks a lot again ...!!! It will be very helpful and much easy when knowing how to do it specially on Vatsim !

[@crab1510]

Huh, I could swear I read somewhere that the ladder hold short lines were ILS hold short points to prevent interference with landing aircraft. Thanks for clearing that up though!

[@abbahille3111]

That's correct, low visibility procedures are put into place so landing aircraft can perform CAT2/3 autoland, for that they need a precise uninterrupted ILS signal, therefore the offset hold short line where waiting aircraft won't interfere with the LOC signal. There was an incident with a SIA B777 in Munich a couple of years ago due to this: avherald.com/h?article=445873f3&opt=1

[@noiserrr]

@@abbahille3111 i might have missed something but that report states that the departing aircraft which casued the disrupted LOC signal was stopped at the CAT II/III holding point before hand though and the reason for the disruption had to do landing aircraft doing an autoland but departing flight before was not within CAT II/III separation minima of takeoff/departure and therefor interfered with the signal.

[@abbahille3111]

@@noiserrr Yes, I should have clarified. In this specific case it was caused by a departing aircraft but it merely serves as an example for the fact that these signal interferences are seriously dangerous and thus the importance for a safety margin for autolandings even at hold short points.

[@qwerty-or1yg]

Hey, really enjoying your content! Can't wait for cold & dark video. Could you also to a tutorial on CAT (I, II, III) approaches? How are they different and how they are handled in a simulator. Thank you. Keep it up!

[@johnmaguire2185]

As ever a great video. Pitched just right to encourage virtual pilots to operate the airbus in a professional manner . I use FSX for now and navigraph is major help with the taxi. I tried to follow you to EDDL last flight, but for some reason my IFR was approved then cancelled. I think I clicked some odd item in SimBrief. I am sure to join at some point. Please use VATSIM as often as possible. I learn so much every time you do,

[@marshallhogan3440]

On the 737 ( Sure it applies to the A320 ) We turn it on in flight if we suspect icing on the wing, so the wing is illuminated to check for ice. On the ground we turn it on for the walk around at night.

[@alexanderbeck5998]

In the last stream you asked if there is a game that you could play, and there is one that could be for you. And pls stay with me this is going to be a long one. The Game is called DCS World it is a flight sim like msfs 2020 or xp11, but you don't fly commercial planes instad you fly fighter jets. And now a few points why the game is so nice: 1. The Base game is 100% free, it includes the game it self (with a mission editor, training missions Multiplayer etc.) the Caucasus map (it is located in the west of the black sea) a warbird (fully clickable but not armed) the russian A2G striker Su-25t (for starters non cklickable, but wepponised) 2. Alltough it could look a bit crazy that some modules(so are the DLCs called) can cost up to 80-90$ you can just wait until there is a sale in witch you normaly get a 50% discount(unless the module was released 1 month ago). 3. DCS has a high learning curve, because there are a lot of good KZbin Videos out there. 4. The game looks just Beautiful, the details inside the airplane is just amazing. 5. At some point you will ask your self: Why isn't the whole world moddeled? Thats because nearly every object is destroyable! And many more... if this sounds nice I will post a link under this comment to a video that explains the same what i just wrote here. 👌 After reading this comment through I realy have to say... It sounds like I'm a sales person who want's to sale you something 😅. (And sorry for my bad english 😅)

@@320SimPilot 😂 yea it is always fun to go by the Tower at mach 1+. I have played the Game for about 3 Years now and from my expiriance it is well worth it, because I'm 15 now and I'm able to fly and manage every module I bought and I have a many (F/A 18c, F-14B A-10C, A-10C II, all the Helos, the SuperCarrier, the PG map, CA. And as far as I can say it was well worth it! 👌 If you should by a Plane, then pls buy the F/A 18C Hornet first when it is on sale, because it is the best Airplane from my expireance, because it can do everything. (And I'm already Hyped for the Eurofighter that will come out in about one Year). (Here are some KZbin channels that are good for new guys: Redkite, Ralfidude. And Laobi if you want the quick info).

[@rangerrick8220]

Ever hear of a company having a policy that the APU stays on until airborn and past the end of the runway (after takeoff)?

[@R-UBBERD-UCK]

Maybe you can help me out with this.. I'm having trouble keeping my taxi speeds consistent (in pretty much every plane). It seems like sometimes you only have to bump the throttle "one click" and it will start rolling immediately, sometimes you have to really hit the throttle just to get moving at all.. and once I am moving, my ground speed slowly keeps climbing even after I've zero'd the throttle. and don't even get me started on the TBM930... That one starts moving as soon as you release the parking brake, even when the throttle is in the idle position. I follow cold&dark procedures from credible KZbinrs (lol) and follow them to the letter. But no matter what I do, I constantly have to ride the brakes to keep the taxi speeds realistic. What am I missing?

[@shinkicker404]

30 knots? Wow, here i was keeping it at 10-15 knots, lol.

[@chaseholden3183]

I know this was made a long time ago, but when I taxi, I can’t keep it straight and it wants to turn itself when I’m trying to keep straight, is that because of my speed? Or is it something else? Excellent video.

[@andreasvogter5709]

Hey! first i want to say thx for good learning movies! I note that you mention, you often tax on idle thrust and the A320 increases speed in real life. I have experienced this after the new update from FBW. Another thing I have learned, is that the A320 makes the final approach, with very low throttle (N1). Is this real, or is it unrealistic dynamics in the game? appreciate your replay! Greetings From Norway!

[@NoelRojas]

Hey man, love your videos. I've always wondered, do you pilots also get anxious as a result of turbulence? Also, does the new Microsoft Flight Sim have an "easy" mode where you don't have to do all these extensive technical things in order to enjoy flight and landscapes? I was considering buying it but quite honestly, although it's fascinating to watch you, I don't have the patience for all the intricacies. Keep on making these videos, thank you!!!

[@renekostolnik5709]

Yeah, you can take a smaller airplane and start on the runway fully set up or even in the air. It's easy. But honestly I never thought I would fly a A320 with use of auto pilot and flying automated approaches. I thought it's too much effort. But a few youtube videos later, that's all I do in this sim. It's rewarding and you keep always learning.

[@Poseidon6363]

You can use simtoolkitpro for your charts, it has some of the same ones you are using (from public sources) Love your videos btw :) p.s. I recently learned: You want to start Engine 1 first. (At least in real life), especially if you want to taxi with 1 engine. It has to do with what systems are powered by what engine. Can you confirm?
