Returning to the A320 since almost a year. This series is golden, and a testament for how deep the Fenix A320 simulation truly is. You only realise this when a real airbus pilot explains the procedures. Phenomenal stuff, not a better flightsim channel on youtube than this one.

I've been doing the real airbus flows in the 320 for years however, nothing is better than good explanations from a real airbus pilot ! Amazing video as always ;)

Simply amazing - GREAT video!

I really like the pace of how you explain the details. My favorite online Airbus content, really appreciated!!

Hi Emanuel Once again your tutorials and detail explanations of A320 procedures are so helpful learning so much from you looking forward to MCDU and FCU👍👍👨‍✈️

Great video .

Really useful series - highlights a few things that I'm missing (for realism).

Hi, thanks for these great tutorial videos. I always learn something new from you even though I've been using this addon for so long. However, I noticed that you always skip Cargo Smoke Detection test. So that's not a part of the normal flow, right?

Thank you so much. Great video, very helpful!

You should make this a whole series!

again a great tutorial thanks so much

11:52 does this panel generally control what is recorded by the CVR? If so, why is only the PA channel recorded here, and nothing else?

Great vid like always

Thank you so much 👍🏻😘😘

Recently I’ve been watching a lot of aircrash investigations. It’s a worry that pilots have the option to disengage flight recorders in flight. Some of these plane disasters have been murder/suicide with pilots however, no real hard evidence to prove such acts due to the flight recorder’s being turned off or tripped intentionally. Surely all flight recorders should not be able to be manipulated by pilots and always turned on.

Great video as always! I’ve always wondered why Airbus doesn’t require pilots to perform the cargo smoke test 🤔

Hi Emi, great tutorial series! as a passenger is it still possible to have a visit in the cockpit? i have never been into one but i am not sure nowadays if this is not longer possible...
