A320 Visual Circuit

Today we fly a quick left-hand visual circuit from Manchester EGCC 23R in our fixed based Airbus simulator based at City Airport (Manchester Barton).

This is our first content in a little while. Just like your favourite utilities company or car insurance we could blame this unacceptable delay on Covid, but we won't as we have been busy re-locating the simulators to a new bespoke building on-site at City Airport.

Trivia:
- Turning finals rather than wait for the ECAM memo to appear we complete the landing checklist using confirmation of Landing gear down, Signs on, Cabin ready, Spoilers armed and Flaps set. The ECAM memo normally appears below 2000' - but if the aircraft has not climbed above 2,200' RA it will not appear until below 800'.

Note: This video is published for familiarisation purposes with our simulator only and any views expressed within this video are our own. Procedures evolve and some calls and checks have been omitted for brevity. Always refer to your company documentation or appropriate flight crew manual as the primary reference.

Awesome!
Just one question. Why didn't you flare?

[henrikolsen]

Does the Energy Circle not show on the ND if FD is off. It seems to be related around @2:19.

[joshilini]

My only criticism is that you overshot the extended centerline because you were not doing a rate 1 turn from downwind to final. The bank angle was too shallow. Apart from that, great video and I really liked the tip for the 2.5nm on the ND!

flying a visual app but looking at the ILS Flight patch all the way to 200 ft... what's the point ?

[henrikolsen]

Why does the landing checklist on ECAM/SD first appear around @7:24 at around 800' AGL?

[sofiya-]

if you use ILS to control the height, do you turn off g/s?

[discostu]

What I don‘t get: you calculate and measure the outbound time (45 sec) and then select flaps 2, which brings the speed down. How can you still rely on the 45sec when the speed is changing at some random point?

Good video, have to ask why you had the QNH set to 1014 below FL50 which is the transition altitude?

[Shayanxfinity]

magnificent vids, may I ask for the creation of engine failures after v1?

[eaglethedigger]

Awesome. I am trying that at home with the Fenix in msfs. It all happens so fast. You really have to plan and be ahead of the ac. I have a lot to learn and train. A question: flying with ATHR is mandatory for a visual circuit? Thanks!

[Vlogger]

Can u more videos regarding all failures..thanks

[Peter-pvyb]

Awesome CRM, just one Q… has Airbus changed the procedure that you put flaps 2 few secs after downwind abeam? Or is it your procedure? Tnx

[Mateyhv]

Cool! A common mistake that even professional pilots do is to put the mic just in front of the lips making a lot of wind noise when speaking. Fist thing all pilots should learn is to position the mic a few centimiters down so the radio comunications are much clear.

shot right through the centre line and up n down on the glide, but nice take off and upwind downwind work

[justinliu]

Do airlines fly A320 without autothrust in their check ride?

[masterpc]

Maybe adhere to the New SOP? After take off C/L is removed

[haopham]

I’m new but correct me if I am wrong that I didnt see the flare

[KemiH]

3sec/100ft
You are at 1500’
It means 50sec (not 45sec as you’ve calculated) 4:15
