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 new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

@zaboolovescodex 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty close to what I've been using in-game. I usually would do 2 tonnes per hour plus 2 tonnes for extras. It's probably overkill but luckily fuel is free hehe.

@olegmusienko2994 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for yet another great guide! A quick question about turnaround - I imagine it's pretty rare but in what cases would you load the fuel for both there and back trips and how do you modify your cont, finres and extra figures?

@coriscotupi 2 жыл бұрын

Sometimes fuel costs more at the first destination. If the cost difference is more than the cost of the extra fuel burn from carrying the extra fuel for the return leg, then it is advantageous to load the round trip fuel to start with. Or maybe fuel availability at the first destination is in question, so it would be wise to carry it all, for both legs. This is what they call "tankering", i.e., carrying extra fuel that is meant to be used on a later flight leg.

@andrevdw747 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the explanation! Just quick question: Did you enter “start boarding” before hitting zfw as the weight have to include pax? So in other words the 42.5 is without pax?

@larskruse2433 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks very much for another great video. I have a question: Is the amount of fuel a pilot burns - recorded over time and can he be held accountable if he burns more than the average? I guess there are many different ways - including less economical ways of flying the aircraft.

From some one that sims the A320 a lot I am interested to know how much the CI affects the fuel?

@JosephSeabourne 2 жыл бұрын

You mentioned you can reduce the CONT fuel to 3% if you have a planned enroute alternate. In what circumstances would you or would you not have a planned alternate. At the minute I just always get Simbrief to generate a enroute alternate, but guessing now that that isn't necessary. And, how many arrival alternates would usually be planned for? Do you always have four or is it only more if, say, weather is bad?

@irondrummer5125 2 жыл бұрын

Very nice and interesting video as always! I have one question: What is the maximum fuel one is allowed to land with? Does it depend of the maximum landing weight? What is the maximum landing weight? Thank you for your efforts! Best Regards

@jason38321 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not an aviation expert, but I believe there isn't a maximum landing fuel per se, as long as fuel + everything else is below maximum landing weight.

@irondrummer5125 2 жыл бұрын

@@jason38321 Thanks for your answer :) but i know that it depends on aircraft and customer. Embraer for example has an limit due to the force that occurs during the moment of touch down an the resulting stress of the wing structure.

How much fuel do you usually burn on decent? Do you not burn fuel if the thrust is idle on decent?

Great video! Does this mean you only carry the fuel for one leg at a time. Never for a return flight?

@cavok1984 2 жыл бұрын

Typically that is the case. That is another big consideration pilots and airlines have to account for. The airline may want to take extra fuel to avoid having to refuel so much at the destination airport. This is known as "tankering." Usually this is down to the price of the fuel at the destination. The airline may deem it economically acceptable to spend a bit more to carry the extra fuel to avoid paying the higher price. But ultimately, it is down to the pilots as to what they take. They have to consider aircraft performance. Can they take off with the extra fuel? Can they land with the extra fuel? The weather (particularly wind and air pressure will play a major roll), runway specifications and geography around the airport will play a huge roll in determining aircraft performance and whether they take the extra fuel.

3700 kilos of fuel. For 120 people to go about 600 kilometres. That's about 20 kilometres per arse-litre. That's better than my car

Have you ever put so much fuel in its taken the plane over its takeoff weight?

@Nanotick1 Жыл бұрын

I understand why the airlines don't want to carry around extra fuel but what happens if you land with a little too much fuel. Do the airlines give you a warning or something? And of course, I know it's not good to land real heavy because it's hard on the plane. Thanks.

is it common to get directs from ATC so the route (and flight time) is usually shorter in the end as planned or expected?

@Pr3miuM 2 жыл бұрын

Yes quite common if there's low amounts of traffic for example. Oppositely there's other factors like weather or vectors that can make the route longer than expected as well.

@sabinhong0307 2 жыл бұрын

do pilots ever get pressured to carry less fuel or penalised for carrying more generous amounts of extra fuel? especially in any of the more cost-conscious airlines? Of course they would be expected to carry all the legal fuel but when it comes to things like PIC extra fuel would airline management ever pressure pilots to be a bit more conservative?
