We learn something new everyday! :)

@@waypointsaviationi have trouble with this one. even if i selected my speed and altitude, if i dont make the proper throttle adjustment, the AP wont work. do you have a video explaining this one? thanks in advance.

@@asi146is auto throttle on?

@@rachelsobolewski2953 yes. and now i know how airbus throttles work. i thought they are the same with boeing.

Thank You so much! Glad you found our method of teaching useful! All the Best on the type-rating course! Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world outside Dubai!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy our videos!

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

You're welcome!

Thanks Benjamin!

Thanks! Appreciate It. Are you doing your Type-Rating for the A320?

Thanks so much, we will keep the videos going 😁

Just got 10 thumbs up and 8 claps - a first for me! Thanks for the warm support. If you happen to be in Dubai, it would be my pleasure to treat you to 30 minutes in the sim, completely on me. Let me know if you're around!

Thanks so much for your kind words! Yes, we do have a tutorial on the ILS you can view it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jryfo72d1LW9pGg.html

Hello Ibrahim, thank you very much for your comment, we’re super glad you found it helpful! Feel free to let’s us know how we can be more helpful in our videos :) Consider subscribing if you haven’t and share it with your friends, feel free to scroll through our other videos

Thanks for your kind words, funny you should ask, We have 2 tutorial videos in the making explaining the hydraulics and air bleed systems.

We don’t have a video on the build, it’s pretty straight forward, but the machine assemble and have fun 😁

Thanks, Yes, we rarely ever use it, newer variants dont even have it anymore. But when used, it climbs and descends at the fastest rates possible.

Awesome! Have fun with your MiniFCU! Happy Landings!

Hi and thanks for your comment! The FPA doesn't really control anything but is more like an indication as to what the aircraft is doing or the actual flight path angle that the aircraft is flying in relation to its angle of attack. Generally in clean configuration flying straight and level the aircraft would have a nose up angle of about 2 1/2 to 5° and yes you're correct if you lower the speed or deploy flaps then this angle will change. The purpose of the FPA (Bird) is to help the pilot determine regardless of what the angle of attack isis to help the pilot determine regardless of what the angle of attack, is the aircraft is the aircraft flying straight and level or are we climbing or descending that's pretty much what the FPA does for us hope this answers your question full free to let us know if you need any more clarification.

Thanks! What is it specifically you wish to learn more about the FCU? You can join our Members section and gain access to one on one tutorials :)

Hello, thanks for your comment! To answer your question keep in mind that we have two factors one is angle of attack the other is flight path angle. The angle of attack is the angle at which the aircraft must fly to maintain, straight & level flight Or the angle that it must maintain to climb and descend at whatever rate you choose, the flight path angle is the true angle at which the aircraft is flying. For example, if the flight path angle is zero with flaps up and flying at the speed of approximately 200 kn. You can expect the angle of attack to be around 2.5 to 3° nose up. When you slow the aircraft down and deploy the flaps, the aircraft will naturally fly at a raised angle of attack, which is why you always see aircraft coming into land with a nose up angle. This is just how the aerodynamics work. Hope this answers your question Let us know if you need any further information.

@waypointsaviation ​ Thank you so much for this elaborate response! Not only answers my question but a series of follow up questions that I might have had!

Thanks! Sure we'll look into making one of those for the Subscribers.

@@waypointsaviation I forgot to mention V1 cuts and steep turns :) thanks a lot

If your speed is away from VLS and within acceptable bank angle and pitch settings, among other conditions, the autopilot should be engaged immediately.

Indeed! Airbus 318, 319, 320, 321, 330, 340 ALL have the same FCU so If you know how to fly one you can fly them all, it's keeping with Airbus' common cockpit philosophy.

380 also? When/ if that is available in xp 12 I will purchase? Thank you!

380 is similar but not exactly the same as the rest, but once you understand the logic of airbus you’ll be able to figure out the FCU of the 380 easily too! Yeah you should get the 380 if you can; it’s the best! Dream to fly! We here at waypoints speak from first hand experience flying it! 😎✌🏽✈️

Hey, feel free to WhatsApp us via the details in the description below, happy to help anyway we can.

You are correct FPA refers to flight path of 5 degrees not a physical nose down angle.

Hello, I believe you're referring to your vertical speed indicator, double digits (32) are in thousands so 32 would be 3200 feet per minute and single digits are hundreds. Best touch down rate would be less than 300 feet per minute. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

@@waypointsaviation Thanks for your reply. No, I am not talking about the VSI "needle". The green numbers I am seeing appear on the top left or lowest left-side of the altitude scale. They can count up all the way to 99. I can send you a screenshot where they would be located.

@@MotoFuzzi HI, yeah sure please send us a screenshot via WhatsApp or email and we can surely look into it and give you a proper answer.

@@waypointsaviationHello again, I think I found the answer already?!?! (" It is the indicator for how far off of the VNAV path you are. 77 means you're 7,700 feet below where the plane wants to be"). Makes sense to me, agree? Another quick question, I assume you are a real-life A320 pilot, could you check whether there is an indication during flight whether the parking brake is engaged or not? I landed with parking brake on but I didn't see any message. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not yet sure what the indicator you're referring to could be until I see a picture of it, just to be sure I answer you correctly. Yes, I am a real life A320 Pilot, Instructor and Examiner and in the A320 if you set the parking brake at anytime you'll see a notification on the Upper ECAM saying "PARK BRK" Hope this helps Best Regards

You my friend are definitely Eagle Eyed! So what happened was there was a momentary error in our MSFS FMGS program and it didnt take into account the constraints... however once we reloaded the programaround the 24:00 period it worked this time, and even though I selected 2000 on the FCU it knew the constraint existed @ 8000 and gave us alt magenta on the FMA and followed the constraints as it should. This is a problem one has to deal with sometimes when working with MSFS coupled to an advanced FNPT Simulator, sometimes the software has a hiccup! But it all worked well in the end! :)

@@waypointsaviation check! ;-) thanks for clarifying! Good to see my pc is not the only one doing weird things haha

@@ehameham3816 You are NOT alone!

Airbus doesn’t have a knob neither does it have an option to adjust the angle of bank. Then you push fully on the side-stick, the aircraft will role until it reaches a maximum of 67 degrees of bank (if you keep pushing the stick) once you release the stick the ac will automatically role back to 33 degrees and stay there until you push the stick the other way to level the wings

You’re welcome… 797? Are you from the future?? 🤣

@waypointsaviation maybe hehe though some people say im dead. "Anyways, I had a gulfstream and a 727 private way back in the day."

In other parts of the world other than the USA flight levels can be as low as 4000 and it Chages every day. So when he Said he is at FL130 he is correct.

Never mind

@@dougbrown8331I think the point he’s making is that they are on a QNH setting not standard.

"There's no mystical method; every pilot and company concur on a singular approach: to dispel any uncertainty and ensure there's always someone actively piloting the aircraft. This is achieved by declaring 'I have control' or granting control with 'you have control,' straightforward and resolute."

Hi! Please contact us Via WhatsApp or Email, happy to assist you in this.

Hello, There could be a number of reasons for this… you can check the following… 1) are the flaps still out? At speeds of 220 you must be flaps 0 2) are the thrust levers in the CL detect? Cause if they’re still in toga or flx/mct then no matter what you choose in selected it will still be pushing max power Check this and let us know if this works, anything else we can do to help let us know :)

@@waypointsaviation you were right, that was my problem, I have read that auto thrust was not going over the point where it was setup, but I miss read about toga, thanks again

Lots of stuff to touch…

You sure you got the number right? ‪+971 56 155 5100‬

Yeah yeah, slip of the tongue… 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️, BUT didn’t you see the correction caption at the bottom?

Yeah, I just saw it right at the end. Thank you very much for this perfect training, really helped me out with the FCU !
