REAL AIRBUS PILOT | Part 2 - A320 MCDU Setup Tutorial | Microsoft Flight Simulator

Part 2: MCDU Setup

In this tutorial series, we cover all the basic steps required to fly the default Airbus A320 from A to B in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Whilst the series is aimed at beginners and people new to the A320, it still aims to follow real-world Airbus procedures where possible.

In Part 2, we cover the MCDU setup. We run through all the necessary steps to get the aircraft ready for departure.

I appreciate your willingness to explain in detail. I'm sure the views will grow exponentially as more and more people need it.

I did this while watching the video and made me realize how easy it is after a couple of times thank you ❤❤

[Peter-snbq]

Great video to help set up the mcdu for the first time manually probably the best one I've watched

[tommynott]

Great stuff, keep these coming. Hopefully you can cover AP and going though all its complexities

[andrews]

Great work! Keep the videos coming, you are building some excellent resources on this channel.

Love the on-screen text as an editing tool. Really provides great insight into the nitty-gritties of an Airbus MCDU that I’ll most certainly be using in the future. Great video as usual😊😊

Thank you for a easy to understand tutorial for a person new to flying sims ... I now am able to fly a Prop plane ish and want to move onto the jets and your video lessons will make this happen .... please keep them coming

Dude you helped me so much, when I first loaded in I didn’t even know how to turn on the engine😭🙏

[mattclegg]

I've been searching for a tutorial video that I can get on with, and this is it! Thank you so much!

[elijahgrelet]

Great video I understand what I’m doing now although I’m having bugs with flight plan inputs lol msfs

[biswajit]

Loved it! Impressive work done. Thanks a lot. Can you please provide a tutorial on how to land the a320.

[Liam-iuti]

Your adding stuff in when your not explaining where you’re getting it… as in selecting runway, how do we know which is best?

[stevej]

Thankyou for these tutorials.. big help to me while just learning the 320... i cant seem to put in a FLT NBR when i click on the INIT button my to put in a flight number, i type a number into keypad and click to insert but it will not go in. the orange boxes are still empty..

[jacopobonfiglio]

Hi thanks for the tutorial! where did you find the flight plan with all way points? thanks

[Flash-utrh]

I've tried manually putting in a flight plan, flying from Nice côte d'azur (LFMN) to Bristol (EGGD). I got all the weypoints and airways from simbrief. I used this video as a guide to help me through. Everytime i put in the weypoints, they don't appear on the screen. Also, every time i try to put in the airways, it always says not in database. Even though it doesn't show the weypoints on the screen, it still puts in the route but i don't understand why it doesn't appear on the screen and why every airway is not in database.
I tried copying this tutorial but it still does exactly the same thing. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm not sure if there is bug with the a320n. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Otherwise, great tutorial.

Hi ITB, always return to these tutorials - might you be able to explain where I can find out which Flex Temp to use. I use Sim Brief for my flight planning - would it be noted on there? Thank you.

[EPRZ_Planespotter]

When I go into F-PLN, I don't get the same screen as in the video... instead, there's a load of dashes "- - -" and something about F-PLN Discontinuity, End of F-PLN, and NO ALTN F-PLN... How do I fix this?
I also don't have my Vr, V1, and V2 speeds in the PERF screen.

[rutchiemctavish]

Thanks very much for this. Could you briefly explain how the various SIDS and STARs are chosen for a flight? It would be great to have a basic understanding of them so I know which one to choose if I wanted to add them to my flight etc.

Many thanks! R

Hey - what button zooms into the controls?

Ive pushed everything (xbox controler)

[Fnnr]

I’m not sure if playing on xbox has an effect on this… but for some reason when following along it will not let me put a waypoint in the second field.
