Airbus A320-214

A320 Beginners Tutorial

The Airbus A320 is a very complex modern airliner which is quite common on airports around the

globe. Chances are high that you already ﬂew with this aircraft in the past. The Aeroﬂy simulation of

this aircraft is very complex but due to the aircraft's automation it is very suitable for beginners as

well.

We split this tutorial into several parts, ﬁrst we are going to do a short ﬂight explaining just the

essential things that you have to do in Aeroﬂy to ﬂy the A320 from one place to another. After that we

are going to go into more detail about this aircraft to explore all the features that are oﬀered.

First we are going to do a very short ﬂight from Sacramento to San Francisco. This ﬂight only takes a

few minutes and there aren't actually that many things we need to do ﬂy this quick hop. So this ﬁrst

ﬂight is clearly aimed at beginners and leaves out many things that a real pilot would need to do as

well. We're just doing the bare minimum for now.

We recommend setting all wind sliders to zero, removing all clouds and setting daytime for the

beginner tutorial.

Before the Flight

Please select your A320 from the aircraft menu and set up a route from Sacramento (KSMF) runway

16R to San Fransisco (KSFO) runway 28R using the

approach into San Fransisco. Then position the aircraft on the departure runway.

In the main menu click the "Start" button to begin the ﬂight.

Please compare the aircraft state that you have with the highlighted areas of the screenshot below. Please quickly verify the following items: The Display in front of you shows “CLB”...
Page 3 2020/12/07 15:07 3/33 Airbus A320-214 Taking Oﬀ The takeoﬀ has to be ﬂown manually. Advance your throttle input to full forward. Use rudder to maintain the center line, very little inputs should be required for this. When the airspeed reaches the blue circle gently pull back on the elevator to lift the nose up.

At this point the thrust should reduced for climb thrust because the engines can only maintain the takeoﬀ...

The next thing we have to do will be just before we start descending. You can change the camera and look around for the time being. This ﬂight isn't very long so don't play around for too long.
Page 7 2020/12/07 15:07 7/33 Airbus A320-214 Decrease Selected Altitude For the upcoming descent we have to select a lower altitude for the autopilot. Move the mouse cursor over the altitude knob of the autopilot. Scroll down to decrease the selected altitude value to 2000 ft. Don't click or press anything at this point.

Click the altitude knob with the left mouse button to push it in. Descent The autopilot will command idle thrust in the descent and tries to match the magenta target speed range and the green altitude target by just pitching up and down.
Page 9 2020/12/07 15:07 9/33 Airbus A320-214 Arm ILS Approach On the autopilot panel click the approach button (“APPR”). Arm Auto-Brake Click the “LO” button on the AUTO BRK (auto-brake) panel. Approach Speed When passing the magenta “D” point on the map the aircraft will start to decelerate to approach speed.

Make sure that the airspeed is below the two amber bars that mark the maximum airspeed for the next ﬂap. Then select Flaps 1. Press the default key command “F”...
Page 11 2020/12/07 15:07 11/33 Airbus A320-214 Localizer Capture The autopilot will capture the localizer needle and steer us to the runway laterally. The primary ﬂight display will show “LOC *” followed by “LOC” in the top row. No action required. Flaps 2 When your airspeed matches the -S speed you are slow enough for the next ﬂap setting.

Now is a good time to select the gear down and help us decrease the speed further and get it to the -F, ﬂap retraction speed in case of go-around.

We're going to provide an overview of what the autopilot buttons do.
Page 15 2020/12/07 15:07 15/33 Airbus A320-214 ﬂight display in the second (vertical mode) and third column (lateral mode). Auto-Thrust (A/THR) Master The Auto-Thrust (A/THR) (a.k.a. auto-throttle in other aircraft) controls the thrust to the engines. Depending on what the ﬂight director vertical mode is the engine thrust is either constantly adjusted to maintain a target airspeed or the thrust is advanced to full climb thrust for a climb or retarded to idle thrust for a descent.
Page 16 Last update: 2020/12/07 10:49 aircraft:airbus_a320 https://www.aeroﬂy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/aircraft:airbus_a320 maintains the altitude. A similar thing happens during the descent. If you have DES or OP DES engaged the auto thrust will retard the thrust to idle (THR IDLE) and the autopilot pitches down to keep the airspeed target. So again the autopilot is controlling the speed and the auto-thrust is just keeping a ﬁxed thrust value, in this case idle.
Page 17 2020/12/07 15:07 17/33 Airbus A320-214 Heading-Knob Push the heading knob in to arm and capture the ﬂight route laterally. This allows the aircraft to turn left and right according to the programmed ﬂight plan and steer towards the destination on its own in NAV mode.

If you push the vertical speed knob the autopilot will immediately level oﬀ with vertical speed mode (VS) and maintain 0 ft/min.
Page 19 2020/12/07 15:07 19/33 Airbus A320-214 LOC and APPR The localizer button (LOC) arms the localizer capture. If there is an ILS localizer signal the autopilot will capture the runway localizer and ﬂy towards the runway. It only steers left and right for this, it doesn't change the vertical mode.
Page 20 Last update: 2020/12/07 10:49 aircraft:airbus_a320 https://www.aeroﬂy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php/aircraft:airbus_a320 more economical to ﬂy at lower indicated airspeeds at a ﬁxed economical mach number (ECON Mach). At the crossover altitude the autopilot therefor automatically transitions from a speed target to a Mach target. SPEED becomes MACH. The button SPD/MACH allows you to manually switch between the Mach and speed reference after pulling out the speed knob for the selected speed mode.
Page 21 2020/12/07 15:07 21/33 Airbus A320-214 control (ATC) uses metric altitudes. So you could be given a clearance to climb to 3000 meters and thanks to the metric altitude display you don't have to guess how many feet that is. 100/1000 ft Ring Behind the altitude knob there is a ring that can be set to the left or right to change the increments of the altitude selector between 100 and 1000 feet.
