In this video, I will provide you with the basics of flight planning using the Airbus MCDU. I will show you how to manually enter a flight plan into the MCDU and configure the aircraft for departure. For the purpose of this video, we will be using the FSLabs A320 as the aircraft, and simbrief for the flight planning.

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am right about to take off with this Lufthansa A320 in Frankfurt to Buenos Aires, Don´t know what to do, I got this job as pilot lying in my CV. I asked ChatGPT "How fly big plane" and no clue. My mother knows about everything but has no clue either. My checklist so far is: 1) Check that the doors are closed 2) Check that there is nobody in front of me 3) Check that there is food because it is a 14 hours flight. 4) Check in Google Maps where is Buenos Aires, in which direction, left or right or what I am a believer of learning by doing.

This is an excellent tutorial, especially for someone like me who is relatively new in flying the A320 sim. I made the mistake of trying to dive into the A32NX mod, and was quickly overwhelmed by the massive amount of procedures and knowledge required. My plan is to first get up to speed with the stock A320neo sim, gradually taking over more and more functions before moving on to the A32NX mod. Entering the flight plan by hand is a great way to learn the basics.

Many many thanks. I have avoided fms until now as my emphasis has been to become a pilot. However there are two more steps -1. to programme fmc,s with the SID/WAYPOINTS /STAR, then having mastered the skills needed, to go to 2. the ATC experience (which still slightly terrifies me). Fortunately you have created all the tutorials I need on my path of discovery, and I will go through these in order until,I can master the full art of being a pilot. AGAIN - MANY THANKS.

As a Boeing man (747-200, 400 and 737-800), I was fortunate enough to get a session in the A320 sim. It’s a different type of flying, but the whole fly-by-wire and dark cockpit concept was good and quite intuitive. Until we got to the MCDU... Boeing system definitely better laid out and easier to work with.

Good teacher! You should add a MTO map on EIFIS and explain how to avoid storms without deconnecting FMS as it was made by AF 447 pilots who were badly teached ! The F.M.S protect the aircraft inside a "flight envelope" in order to avoid stall on high altitude.I tell you that because I programmed FMS at AIRBUS in 1982 and I am involved in aeronautical security and ENAC alumni.

You should mention which are the criteria’s behind a specific mcdu runway and star choice, same speech for transitions if required. Reality vs simulation may involve ATC vs simulated ATC or arbitrary choice based upon own criteria. Another difference between Boeing and Airbus fmc is the usage of arrows which acts like a “ touch screen “ direction on the bus while the act “ normally “ on the Boeing fmc.

I believe this tutorial is more for your ego than for supposed learners, anyway no problem.

Hi, Q8 Pilot; thank you for your excelent video, one of the best explained I have see about the FMC. One question: making a flight on the A320FF, after loading the FMC with Simbrief, on a flight LEMD-LEBL, I can not insert the first point of the Star said by Simbrief, because the FMC did not find it, so I had to insert another similar show on the FMC. ¿It is really good what I had done or I can do anything else?
