I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of the 'bus in MSFS and X Plane 11. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Absolutely brilliant video, thank for not only the procedures but explanations and reasons as well. Did anyone else watching this imagine Raul from Parks and Rec, "If the localizer deviates, Go Around... If there is a triple click, go around... If the FMA says flare to early, go around... if the FMA says flare to late, believe it or not, go around."

@Avantime Жыл бұрын

Is it common IRL to shoot CAT II/III approaches for low visibility situations resulting from heavy rain or blowing snow? Or does the wind component (especially gusts) usually gets too much for the autopilot? Also if the ILS beam breaks during the approach, instead of diverting would you shoot another approach on another CAT II/III capable runway at the same airport, or even approach from the opposite side of the same runway if it's also CAT II/III capable?

Great explanation. For someone going for A320 Type rating. Which is the best aircraft for study level ? FF A320 xp 11 or toliss or Fenix 320 ?

I am new to the Fenix A320 and so far loving it, but having come from the 737-800 this is a bit of a learning curve for me, especially the landings, i just can't manage to keep it in a straight line on touchdown, i am using the Velocity One Rudders, i have even tried autoland yes it did an awesome job of bringing me in but it never followed the center line like on your video, do you have any advice?

One question, I read on google that any touchdown rate of >260fpm can be considered hard landing, and I myself during landing just like in your video, is around 300fpm in the vertical scale during touch down, if that's a fenix simulation problem or that vertical scale reading is actually what is normal in a properly flared touchdown?

I was landing in EGJJ Jersey UK Island with strong headwind, visibility good, ILS 26 approach, with only one AP activate; when I try to disconnect the AP a warning of autoland appeared. It would seem that was manadatory to make autoland. Is that possible? Tthere are conditions in which you must execute an autoland approach?

Aha so Cat III Dual is only a pure safety procedure in case of one pilot is accidentally touching the rudder pedal or the stick and thereby having the autopilot disengaged? But the airplane is theoretically fully able to land with Cat III single down to 50ft minimums and less and flare on it´s own? Good to know because I almost all the time forget to switch on both autopilots.... I have a question, let´s assume the right and left autopilot is engaged (which I never do in normal flight), what happens if the first officer gives some rudder or sidestick inputs - will this disengage both autopilots? Or just the right FO autopilot? Or will the plane completely ignore the FO sidestick inputs as long as dual AP is activated? I cannot test this on a simulator because only one HOTAS is plugged into the computer.
