FlyByWire A380 - How To Fly RNAV / RNP Approaches (Non-ILS) | Full Tutorial - MSFS 2020

The A380 doesn't have the ability to fly in FINAL APPR mode like its smaller counterparts and instead, uses the FLS system. However, this is not available on the A380X at this time and so for non-ILS approaches, we must use the TRK/FPA (or NAV/FPA) method. In this video, we show you in detail how to do this safely so you can land without an ILS approach.

This is accidentally the best RNAV approach tutorial i mean this gives me the basics i needed for other planes. Straight and to the point thanks !

Incredibly great walkthrough! Appreciate the thorough instructions explaining the procedures prior to commencing!
Thanks! :)

The general guidance is for every 10 ft high/low you are, adjust the FPA by 0.1. So if you’re 50 ft high on a 3 degree path, set 3.5 degrees. That should get you in the right place for the next check one mile later. Update it at every check, so if you find you’re still 20 ft high one mile later, adjust to 3.2 degrees. If there’s more than a mile until the next check, then it’s probably best to just reset 3 degrees after a mile, and wait until the next check to make a further adjustment if needed.

Maan, you make it look so easy in your videos :) very much in detail and comprehensive and it all makes sense. Will try it again. Just to add - I have discovered yesterday that the performance for fbw a380 is much better when we record using GE force experience rather than OBS. Out of topic here but, OBS causes significant fps drop and it makes the aircraft almost impossible to handle. Not the GE experience though. Thanks again for the tutorial.

Do you have a camera cfg you can share yet? 😊

Where does it tell you to activate 0.3 nm from that way point? Is this a general rule? Or did I miss it on the approach sheet?

Nice clear video, thanks. I don't know what it is but I cannot land this thing at all well and I've been an Airbus guy for years, I'd be interested to know your TCA Sidestick settings. Much obliged if you do. 👍

Inibuilds have RNP approach? My PC crashes every time I install FBW client, even not downloading their planes. Just the client, FBW. PC crashes when running the MSFS.

Pardon if this is a noob question, but wouldn't you add the Rwy elevation of 227' to 680', since it's a Baro minimum? So you would get a decision altitude of 907'?

It’s a shame that RNAV approaches aren’t automatically executed (like in the Fenix for example), but rather you have to do it semi-manually by setting the FPA.

last time i used this plane, ils was working just fine
