Fenix A320 Tutorial: Landing (+Descent & ILS Approach) with a Real Airbus Pilot! Beginner Friendly

This video will guide you through everything starting in the cruise, preparing for the descent, and how to fly the approach and landing!

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 as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

I am "Sim-Qualifying" myself on the Fenix A-320. I am a real life pilot who is currently on the 777. Getting ready to retire 9/23. You, sir, are my ONLY resource for training my sim-brain to manage this product. Outstanding! Thank you so much. What a blast!

This whole Fenix A320 series has actually helped me figure out lots of things even though I've been flying FBW A320 for more than a year now. Thanks a lot!

Wow!! When you say that you are a real Airbus pilot you are not lying whatsoever; your years of experience and your thousands of hours that you have dedicated into flying are a clear reflection that you know what you’re talking about! Great video! 🔥

Such a great aircraft Fenix made. Having the best time in over 10 years of my simming history flying the Fenix A320.

This just goes to show you can always learn from a pro. I thought I had a handle on approach configuration but I learned yet more nuances for use in the more hi-fidelity Fenix. Thanks PF!

I would consider myself a reasonably proficient A320 sim pilot, but every time I watch your videos I learn something new - thanks for all of the time and effort you put in!

I have watched this one video over and over for each phase of the flight.
I have learned so much and have been able to fly much better flights now
because of this great video. The biggest failures I had were with landing.
I was always doing it wrong. That made the landing instructions in your
video my most watched.

My landings have improved greatly now. No more 160 landing speeds and bouncing
down the runway.

Thank you very much.

I thought in the first video that we’d completely programmed the fmc with everything we needed to land. I tried the flight and it completely fell apart at the approach, and now I think I can see why. These are great tutorials. So much to watch and learn. Thanks so much!

[SriChandika]

Thank you so much for all these invaluable tutorials. Your style of presentation, voice modulation, SIM pauses when necessary to explain in full detail, real world examples etc. are truly unbeatable in the method of teaching. I have gained so much from them all. God bless you.

[TommySV]

The guidance in your videos are 2nd to none! Very transparent as always!

Im finally getting around to learning the A320 now that Fenix has released the 319 and 321. I m really enjoying your tutorials. You’re a great teacher and it’s very easy and fun to follow along with your instructions and comments. Thoroughly enjoying this! So great to have a real world airbus A320 pilot guiding us along! I’m so impressed that so many real world pilots love MSFS! It’s speaks volumes to the realism and fidelity of MSFS and add ons such as the Fenix A320 family and others that real world pilots enjoy spending their days off flying these!

Thank you so much for sharing those landing-techniques. To first flare at ~ 30 ft and then idle the thrust levers as well as looking at the end of the runway before landing literally made the difference between 500 ft / min. impacts and smooth 150 ft/min landings in the Fenix A320 for me.

All of these FENIX A320 tutorials are brilliant, many thanks! Cheers mate, John

[cpt.rookie]

Finally! After countless takeoffs, I can finally perform also some landings (now, when I know how to do that). Well, just joking, but still - thank you very much!

[rakon]

Many sleep-deprived captains circling for the last days thank you sincerely for the landing advice. 😉- Thank you! 💙

[brucemorgan]

What more can be said, that has already not been said in the comments. Your professionalism reflects in the presentation of your tutorial videos. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your efforts, and look forward to further additions...Well Done..

[onebigflappyboi]

I have been flying the a320 for more than 4 years and this addon is the best I have ever seen... Grate video! keep it up!

[SiHeaton]

Brilliant teacher 100% i love watching your videos. You explain things properly even beginners understand you as a rule I only watch your videos especially because your a real pilot who better to learn from. All your video alerts are always on. More videos the better thanks for spending your spare time teaching others its defo much appreciated

[Kadesh]

I am simply amazed by your teaching skills and willingness to actually do it with such depth and patience... I really want to thank you... I can't believe I'm getting so much knowledge on youtube, for free!

[philipg]

wow, that was exceptional tutoring, a little overwhelming I dare say for a beginner, so much to take in. Would love to see all these steps put into a pdf document. I purchased Fenix a week ago and I have been sitting at the ramp in the Toulouse Airbus factory cold n dark the whole time afraid to touch anything. Your videos are helping and am eagerly following. Thanks for your time and effort.
