Real Airbus Pilot A320 MCDU Setup Tutorial in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Today we look at setting up the MCDU/FMGC in the Airbus A320 from the beginning in Microsoft Flight simulator 2020!

I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

This is quickly becoming my new favourite channel

Why doesn't FS 2020 has these kind of tutorials in game? The only tuturial/training is with a Cessna which is the easiest to fly.

I want to go to flight school one day, but I want to be well versed on absolutely everything I can possibly learn ahead of time. Idk why, but properly programming the flight plan, and communicating with ATC are the 2 most intimidating things for me at this moment. My respect for all pilots increased drastically upon realizing how many different systems they need to understand. Let alone communicating with ATC while doing everything else. I have my work cut out for me, and I thank you for allowing all of us the opportunity to learn all of this whether or not we go to flight school. When I feel ready, I hope I have at least 1 of your subscribers with me in flight school! Hope to see yall at 40K ft in real life one day! Until then, I'll continue to study your content.

Just a tip, you can find your center of gravity while in the plane by extending the weight window to the right.

Every day I'm hoping that this man makes a video! His voice has a kind of calming vibe to it! Plus he makes awesome tutorials!

[DarkSwordsman]

The way you explain things is so precise and easy to understand. It makes me feel like it's ridiculous that I didn't really know how this stuff worked back in FSX.

[hectord]

Finally a detailed understanding of how to setup an airliner. Thank you very much for this!

[Stisse]

One other great tutorial would be on different external software/links etc to use,
like charts, simbref etc and how to use them with FS2020
Thanks again for superb tutorials

[grillfluencer]

Perfect, just what I needed after last night's ILS tutorial!

[nasosdelveroudis]

I have not even watched this yet, but judging by his previous videos I'm 100% sure this'll be the tutorial which will make me recall everything I'd forgotten about FMGCs since I last used them in FSX more than 10 years ago. And now to watch the actual video...

Boom now I know how to step up MCDU on the airbus!! Thanks bro

[CrashEd]

These videos are brilliant, I’m really enjoying them - thanks for taking the time to make them.

It would be great at some point to pull all of this stuff together in to one flight where you cover everything from cold & dark to touchdown. In the meantime I’m loving these excellent videos!

[szelag]

Legend for putting these together and speaking to what's real and not

[daniels.m.]

brother, thank you so much for taking your precious time to TEACH us "mortals" about the airbus details. amazing!

[Shovel]

Thank you so much for this! My interest in flying airliners in the simulator has been reignited

[Rubensteezy]

This guide really helped me get going when I first got MSFS and started out. It would be awesome if you made an updated one for the FlyByWire MCDU.

[jonni]

im finnish and i have pretty good english, but i dont understand everything but i like your videos and i like aviaton. The tutorials are blessed for me and my braincells. the tutorials are so helpfulls. Thank you :)

[zynfantry]

im currently studying at auburn for aviation and im in my fourth year and we had our final 2 days ago and without these videos and msfs i wouldve been so lost in airbus fmc but i cranked it out like a pro and now im soon to be a professional pilot

[harryhibberd]

The MCDUuuuu is so similar yet so different to the Boeing version... Definitely going to be a learning curve! Thanks for the video, very informative as ever!

[florin.soldan]

Thank you for your amazing content! I just had my first ILS successful landing and it felt amazing! Keep up the good work!
