FSLabs A320-X Basics: The Visual Approach

In this video I demonstrate how a Visual Approach is flown in the A320.

Congratulations for your in-depth and clear explanations . You always make intricate subjects easier to understand. Thanks a lot, you're both a great teacher and amazing pilot

Excellent presentation of the Airbus Visual Apprroach.

Bravo for this approach and this soft landing. Again and always thanks for these procedures and flight advice.
Thank you

Hi BB. Really enjoy going back to these old videos and keep learning.
When flaring, to how many degrees do you pitch up to achieve such consistently smooth touchdowns? Thanks in advance.

Great video. Very informative. Can you explain to me how you got the extended centerline from the runway on the nav display? Thanks...

[ianriggs]

Could you do a video showing how to set this up in the FMGS? How do u tell the computer that u want to take off and fly a pattern and do a visual landing? So that you have those aids on the nav display that you can put yourself 2.5 miles from? Thanks!

Thanks, another great video. Have to go and pratice now. May join you next Friday.

Hi sir, is the whole procedure done using hanf flown? How do you managed to make the turn onto the runway heading so smooth and perfectly aligned? Thanks

Hi there, on the a320, no ATC or AP on, when you are following a VOR for example, CGS VOR at LFMN, course 354°. I then would need to make a right turn to join my landing runway 4R, course 43°.This would mean you need to turn right 49° correct?
Then the duration of the turn should be around 16 s ( 49°/3) and your bank angle should be around around 25° if you're at 180 Knots (180/10)+7?
But how do you know when you need to initiate the turn to runway for landing?Any simple formula please?

Hi @Blackbox711 love your videos, very informative. I wonder if you could do a video about flying DME ARC:s with the A320 and the PMDG737? For example the arrivals to EFOU (Oulu) contain D12 ARC:s.

Thank you for this very good tutorial.

[LRADgaming]

I realy like your videos. Just one question: how do you get the sound of the front wheel hiting the runway lights? Is it included on the FSlabs airbus? Thanks!

[ehsan]

what happens when we set speed to managed mode?
what is the safe turn angle degree for the aircraft?

[AA-me]

As usual, goog job and thank you very much for all your nice videos...

[Maximillion]

What would be the missed approach procedure in this case since you are not following any specific approach plate? What would be the missed approach altitude be as well?

[TheBumblebee]

Hi Blackbox, thanks for videos, really helpfull. How do you judge when to turn final so as to not overshoot or turn too early?

[vedymin]

Is there an equivalent of a boeing banana arc that works in manual flight ? Or a way to easily guesstimate where will i achieve my chosen altitude ?

[muhammadhabirabbani]

Great video broo, can you explain me about yoyo ?

[tiffany]

Hi u said that the smaller inner circle has a radius of 2.5 miles, does it mean that to set up a nice downwind for ur approach 2.5 miles from the runway on Downwind is a standard way for doing it? Again many thx!

[SulaimanSaifi]

Hi Blackbox, you stated that "The pattern altitude should be 1500 feet above RWY threshold elevation." What if the published pattern altitude for a particular airport is higher? Regards...
