sometimes i think about how msfs saved a lot of commercial pilots during covid pandemic. Doing training like that. :D

It's certainly a very useful tool for maintaining currency. Doesn't replace hands on practice, but works very well for keeping the theory.

I was going to comment on your last video, asking when we getting VOR approach tutorial in the airbus and here it is. Thank you for this!

Great! Now I’ll be able to fly VOR approaches! Thank you very much for doing that video!

Hi I really like these short but very informative tutorials, so keep up the great work! Really needed a proper VOR approach so this helped a lot :)

Thank you for another great video. I noticed at 6:19 you accidentally said a QNH of 2992 (ironically while explaining how important it is to ensure the correct QNH is set!). Definitely a textbook example of how easy it is to confuse the units and why in the UK they always say "hectopascals" following a QNH below 1000 hPa to try and prevent pilots from North America forgetting to change over. We're all human after all... :D

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

Hi, yeah, the "992" triggers something in me since I fly to the US. However the data set in the plane was definitely correct at 992hPa.

@joshilini2 4 ай бұрын

And the amount of times I hear European pilots in US asking for QNH and ATC getting confused haha. They call it altimeter over there!

thanks for making these great videos, im always trying to improve my knowlage of procedures and you explain it very well. i was wondering if you could make a video on manually flying a DME arc as there arnt many videos on it.

I Always Get confused what to use when setting up for final app. Radio or Bario and where u get the Correct Numbers From, I have always put the Minimums in Radio. I have no Clue it that is Correct. Do u have a Vid that explains the Difference and How to enter the Correct Data? Plus I would love to do a Flight Plan Offset For e.g. weather Deviations etc. LOVE ALL UR VID's Saving all these Tutorial’s. Plus do have a Vid to Explain Secondary Flight Plan. And how to use second to divert for an emergency etc. You properly already have done Video’s explaining. Thank You so Much. So Informative and Helpful.🥰

Thank you for explaining VOR approach.. Most of my vor approaches the plane does not maintain center line of a runway

Maybe because you didn't enter the winds speed and direction like here, in this video!

@danielpike3778 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for the video. Is the Fenix also capable of using the FLS mode instead of FINAL APP?

@Macca177 4 ай бұрын

Any chance of a new RNAV approach on the new Fenix, and also how to pick when multiple RNAV-y-x etc?

@mekowgli 4 ай бұрын

When doing a VOR approach, does the airplane actually rely only the VOR's radio signal and altimeter or does it just "simulate" it, but still uses the enhanced positional information it gets from IRS/GPS? Would you still be able to fly a FMS guided VOR approach if for whatever reason GPS was offline, jammed or scrambled (giving a wrong position). Or would you then have to do it completely manually based just on the visual indications on the nav display? Or can the aircraft still fly it if you put the ADIRS to OFF.

@oofran 4 ай бұрын

question about when flying the "teardrop" as you said in the beginning of the video, how would you calculate the "final" turns radius you need?

Another cracker! Many thanks!! Have you done one on the use of VOR/ADF maybe? Constantly learning here and I love it!

Hi, thank you so much! Could you tell me what exactly you'd like to know regarding the use of VOR/ADF?

@JacobianMX 4 ай бұрын

I am also interested in if it is possible to do it the most tridition way. I mean, how will the approach look like without the help of FMS and only use VOR. Do you then need to do a step decent or something like that?

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

A level segment is recommended when flying the approach using TRK/FPA so that the final descent can be initiated correctly.

@splashhs1 4 ай бұрын

Hi mate, could you possibly explain what sids and stars are appropriate for turboprops vs jet? Thanks

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

Hi, normally it's the same procedure for both. Some airports have local variations, in that case you need to refer to the charts really as there is no general principle and all airports are doing things differently.

@pilotpawanc 3 ай бұрын

How to manage such an approach if one does not have the charts

@NyctaOfficial 4 ай бұрын

When to switch on the seatbelts sign for approach? Irl I've seen as a passenger that sometimes the pilots will turn it on as soon as they initiate the descent, but here I saw you turn it on at FL100. Does it depend on the airline?

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

That's company specific indeed. In the type rating they'll usually teach FL100, in practical ops though... we do it at 30minutes to landing, hard to portray that in the sim flying mainly short routes.

@PilotGigi 3 күн бұрын

What I noticed is the the airbus doesn’t fly a continuous descent, compared with the 737 . Is this the or not?

@mrcsone6067 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. Regarding minimums: On this non precision approach you have an MDA (minimum descend altitude) instead of a DA (decision altitude). I've seen from other pilot youtubers that they add 40ft to the MDA so that in case of a missed approach they don't bust the MDA. Is this operator specific?

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

Hi, that's operator specific indeed. My old airline also did that. My new airline on the other hands side refers to legislation: An MDA needs to be drawn up to take go arounds into consideration.

@jtffmud4335 4 ай бұрын

i find something surprising on the Fenix in your video, shouldn't the V-DEV be based on the QNH in the BOX instead of the baro knob? so when u get through the TRL, you don't get that jump in the VDEV like we can see when you swithed STD to QNH?

@A330Driver 4 ай бұрын

Hi, that is correct. I really don't know why FS developers don't seem to simulate this particular feature of VNAV, regardless if it's Fenix in this case or PMDG in case of the 737. That's a basic VNAV feature and really doesn't seem too complex, does it?

I noted when you activate DIR TO UNSER you even click the course radial in (71°): Is that manadatory?

@doltBmB 3 ай бұрын

if he didn't I think it would fly to it at any angle, and then have to turn into the approach from there, which would be imprecise, so setting the correct angle helps you to be set up by that point

@shollie 4 ай бұрын

What are the factors for a decision which approach mode will be chosen apart from weather and visibility?

@csyoutubeacc 4 ай бұрын

We would usually opt for a fully managed approach as a preference. Fully managed is generally more accurate, less workload and allows for a decellerated approach. Selected modes generally only used if not in database or cold weather corrections applied. Incedentaly the same tecnique can be used for NDB approach.
