How To Use The IniBuilds A310 Autopilot

The autopilot in the iniBuilds A310 is a bit convoluted and difficult to understand. Hopefully this video will de-mystify some of its usage for you.

You make flying the A310 so easy. And you explain things well. I had trouble with the AP system, and now I fully understand it....thank you

Great video, Yes more A310 stuff...are u on xbox or pc?

I'm interested in more information about the (final) approach mode that can be activated in the MCDU. I didn't notice that was mentinoned. What effect does it have, when to engage it, can i auto engage etc - perhaps with comparisons to the approach mode in A320 - like how does it work in managed speed when slowing down in sync with deploying slats/flaps? I know it works on part of the approach / speed range, but haven't figured out the details yet.

Does the A310 (and the new A300) respect the speed restrictions when on A/THR + PROFILE mode? I find that on descent, other than the 250KIAS/10000ft restriction, it's usually going way too fast, especially on final approach. On the A320, I didn't have to manually set the speed and I would let the AP adjust the throttle/speed for me based on the MCDU all the way to touchdown.

Please could you do a video explaining how to use the TRP panel?

Hey Marc. I'm getting to grips slowly now with the A310, but I have found an issue which I am unsure about. If I hand fly the takeoff and then enable A.P after passing the first waypoint the aircraft does a 180 and heads back to the first waypoint in the F.P? If I press A.P before it reaches the first waypoint then it follows the course as it should. Is this how it works? Or is it a bug? I am on the xbox series S.

Hi great video. How do I get the altitude & speed to follow the FMC? Thanks

When I try to capture the glideslope, it only does it if the VOR/NAV/ILS switch is set to ILS on both the Captain and FO side. You only have it set on the Captain side. How come?

[Msfssimmer]

Hi. Whenever i come into land it puts the throttle to full and it dont let me take it off. Why?

[AvrgAvGeek]

My a310 is broken it says the transponder is off for me every time i use it

[AFirstOfficer]

My autopilot just dosent care, like i set FL240 lets say and it just goes in the ground at like 500kts, i handfly until my crz alt and then after i turn it on it goes to FL450 in a 90 degree climb and falls down with a stall, PLEASE HELP IM IN PAIN

[wolfgamer]

how? how did you get all that information into my brain so quick?

[Imbreadtt]

Hi, my Nav won't activate, any solutions?

[theophilelouison]

Is it just me, I cannot pull down the VS button

[barthvapour]

Unhelpful. Profile and Nav CANNOT be selected when the AP is off. Your video shows something that can't be done in my Simulator.

"hey I found the solution, there's a setting in the menu where's there to mode to push and pull buttons. The setting that I have is, right click to push and middle mouse button to pull. This is why I don't have the arrows" In the video you change the mode by pressing the button "up" and "down" but you don't say which action relates to pull and push? I'm assuming up=pull and down = push Please confirm. thxs, great video by the way.
