- -## Description - - - -!!! abstract "From Wikipedia: [Electronic Flight Bag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_flight_bag){target=new}:" - - An electronic flight bag (EFB) is an electronic information management device that helps flight crews perform flight management tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper providing the reference material often found in the pilot's carry-on flight bag, including the flight-crew operating manual, navigational charts, etc. In addition, the EFB can host purpose-built software applications to automate other functions normally conducted by hand, such as take-off performance calculations. The EFB gets its name from the traditional pilot's flight bag, which is typically a heavy (up to or over 18 kg or 40 lb) documents bag that pilots carry to the cockpit. - - An EFB is intended primarily for cockpit/flightdeck or cabin use. For large and turbine aircraft, FAR 91.503 requires the presence of navigational charts on the airplane. If an operator's sole source of navigational chart information is contained on an EFB, the operator must demonstrate the EFB will continue to operate throughout a decompression event, and thereafter, regardless of altitude. - -The flyPad is FlyByWire's version of an EFB which allows the user to manage the aircraft and the flight by providing access to aircraft settings, flight plans, ground services, performance calculations,navigational charts, online ATC frequencies and more. - -The FlyByWire team is in the process of moving all aircraft settings to the EFB and will also add more functionality in the near future. - -This documentation takes you through all pages and functions of the flyPad EFB. - -![FlyByWire flyPad](../assets/flypados2/flypad-hero.png "FlyByWire flyPad") - -## General Usage - -The flyPad is organized into several pages.

But 3° is a common standard descent angle in aviation and rarely needs to be changed. - -Example: - -- Cruising altitude: 39.000ft -- Target altitude: 11.000ft -- Descent angle: 3° -- Ground Speed: has no impact on the calculation because of the fixed angle. - -![flyPad Performance TOD Calculator](../assets/flypados2/performance-tod-angle.png "flyPad Performance TOD Calculator"){loading=lazy} - -**Result: We need to start our descent ^^88NM^^ before the target fix at which we want to reach 11.000ft.** - -#### Distance to Fix - -To calculate the TOD with a fixed distance to a specific fix we have to enter the starting altitude, the desired target altitude, and the distance to the target fix. - -Example: - -- Cruising altitude: 39.000ft -- Target altitude: 11.000ft -- Distance to fix: 90NM -- Ground Speed: 450 kt (constant) - -![flyPad Performance TOD Calculator](../assets/flypados2/performance-tod-distance.png "flyPad Performance TOD Calculator"){loading=lazy} - -**Result: We need to start our descent 90NM before the target fix with either an average -of ^^vertical speed of -2.333ft/min^^ or an average ^^descent angle of -2.9°^^** during the descent distance. - -!!! note "" - The above result is averaged over the descent distance and the values are approximations. For more precision use one of the other two methods. - -#### Rate of Descent - -To calculate the TOD with a fixed vertical speed (rate of descent) we have to enter the starting altitude, the desired target altitude, and the desired vertical speed. - -Example: - -- Cruising altitude: 39.000ft -- Target altitude: 11.000ft -- Vertical Speed: -2.000ft/min -- Ground Speed: 450 kt (constant) - -![flyPad Performance TOD Calculator](../assets/flypados2/performance-tod-vs.png "flyPad Performance TOD Calculator"){loading=lazy} - -**Result: We need to start our descent ^^105NM^^ before the target fix with a vertical speed of -2.000ft/min** - -#### Ground Speed and Wind - -To allow for different ground speeds during descent the calculator allows to enter -several altitude levels with the corresponding ground speed. This will be included in the calculations. - -Example: - -- Cruising altitude: 39.000ft -- Target altitude: 11.000ft -- Vertical Speed: -2.000ft/min -- Ground Speed: 420 kt at or above 10.000ft, 250kt below 10.000ft - -![flyPad Performance TOD Calculator](../assets/flypados2/performance-tod-gs.png "flyPad Performance TOD Calculator"){loading=lazy} - -**Result: We need to start our descent ^^98NM^^ before the target fix with a vertical speed of -2.000ft/min** - -!!! note "Wind" - Wind is not a factor and can be ignored as these calculation are done based on ground speed which includes any wind impacting an aircraft in the air. - -## Landing Performance Calculator - -This calculator helps the pilot to determine if a certain runway can be used for landing and which aircraft configuration is required to safely come to a stop on the available runway length. - -In more formal terms it computes if the Landing Distance Available (LDA) is greater than the Landing Distance Required (LDR). See also this article [Landing Distances - Skybrary](https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Landing_Distances){target=new}. - -This calculation factors in wind, runway condition, aircraft weight and several others which might cause some runways to be viable in one situation but not viable in another situation (e.g. more weight, etc.). - -

The number of available VHF assignments has increased over the years by splitting the radio spectrum into narrower bandwidths from 50-kHz to 25-kHz channels. The bandwidth can support 760 channels, if channels are spaced by 25 kHz. In 1994, it was decided to introduce a further channel split from 25 to 8.33 kHz. 8.33-kHz spacing was introduced above Flight Level (FL) 240 in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) European (EUR) regions in October 1999 and above FL 195 from March 15, 2007. Currently, 8.33-kHz channels have been implemented in the airspace of all 20 ICAO EUR region states. So far, Europe is the only region that’s moved to 8.33-kHz channel spacing. - - Source: [universalweather.com](https://www.universalweather.com/blog/8-33-khz-radio-channel-spacing-changes-are-coming-to-europe/){target=new)} - - See also: [8.33kHz Voice Channel Spacing communications](https://833radio.com/news/show/7){target=new} - -## Sim Options - -Settings for simulation aspects of the A32NX aircraft. - -

- -### Usage - -- Default Baro: - - User can set which baro setting he wants to have as a default: inHg, hPA or Auto (depends on the airport where the aircraft spawned). -- Sync MSFS Flight Plan: - - User can set if and how the flight plan synchronization between the simulator and the aircraft should work. - - The options are: - - None: No synchronization. - - Load Only: Only once when loading the flight. - - Save: Synchronization with every change in the aircraft - - !!! warning "Synchronization Issues Expected" - The aircraft's custom Flight Management System provides better accuracy and features over the default flight plan manager in Microsoft Flight simulator which results in issues syncing the flight plan from the MCDU back into the simulator. Do not expect it to work properly in all cases. - -- Dynamic Registration Decal: - - The dynamic registration number decal shown on the external livery can be disabled to improve appearance when using liveries with a static registration number. -- External MCDU Server Port - - User can change the port for the internal MCDU websocket server in case the default port is already occupied on the user's system. - - Default is: 8380 - - ~~This is not the port for using in the browser to access the MCDU Web Interface.~~ -- Enable MCDU Server Connection - - Auto On: - - The MCDU attempts to connect to the MCDU Server for 5min after pressing "Ready to Fly". - - If this setting is selected the MCDU will try to connect to the MCDU Server for 5min after every start of a new flight. - - Auto Off: - - After 5min of unsuccessful connection attempts the MCDU will stop any further attempts and this setting will be automatically set. - - Perm Off: - - The MCDU will not make any attempts to connect to the MCDU Server. -- Use calculated ILS signals - - Enable this setting to use a calculated ILS signal instead of the signal provided by Microsoft Flight Simulator. - - This avoids unwanted and unrealistic loss of the ILS signal in Microsoft Flight Simulator which often happens when the aircraft gets below the antenna position. - - In some rare cases this can cause a faulty G/S signal. In this case this setting can be disabled with immediate effect. -- Detents - - See [Throttle Configuration](throttle-calibration.md). - -## Realism - -Settings for realism aspects of the A32NX aircraft. - -!!! warning "DATALINK Transmission Time" - This setting has been removed in Stable 0.8.0. We are now using VDL3 communication protocols. - - The real datalink used in VHF areas is VDL2. For simulation purposes we have chosen to utilize the VDL3 communication protocols to exchange ACARS/CPDLC data between ground -stations and air stations. The current implementation works with fixed timings to simulate transmission delays. This provides better simulation capabilities and includes a VHF signal quality simulation. - -

Axis Mapping - -Check that the axis mappings are correct. - -??? note "How to Set Axis Mapping" - - Your controller needs to have an axis which can be used as a throttle lever. This axis needs to be mapped to the throttle input of Microsoft Flight Simulator. Most controllers will be mapped automatically by Microsoft Flight Simulator in the default profile. - - If this is not the case you can find out which controller axis is used by your controller by using the Sensitivity dialog and move the lever to see which axis is moving. - - You can use ^^either^^ of these MSFS inputs: - - - `THROTTLE 1 AXIS (0 TO 100%)` and `THROTTLE 2 AXIS (0 TO 100%)`
(for a throttle with two levers) - ![Throttle Axis Mapping](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/throttle-axis-mapping.png "Throttle Axis Mapping"){loading=lazy} - - - `THROTTLE 1 AXIS` and `THROTTLE 2 AXIS`

Try this!" - - Make sure to set the filter to show all options like this: - - ![msfs-controller-options-filter](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/msfs-controller-options-filter.png) - -??? tip "Test the Movement of the Throttle in the Cockpit Now!" - The throttle in the cockpit should now move in the correct direction. If not check the `Reverse Axis` box here: - - ![Reverse Axis Box](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/reverse-axis-box.png "Reverse Axis Box"){loading=lazy} - - !!! warning "Don't worry if the throttle does move all the way or moves too far into reverse now. Only the movement direction is important at this point. " - -### 4. Reverser Setup (when not on axis) - -If your throttle does not have a range for the reverser there are two ways to activate and simulate reverser with buttons. - -??? note "How to Setup Reverser: Controller With a Separate Button or Key" - Microsoft Flight Simulator allows the mapping of a key or button to use the normal throttle axis as the reverser axis. To configure this chose a key or button on your controller and map it like this: - - ![Reverser Button Configuration](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/reverser-hold.png "Reverser Button Configuration"){loading=lazy} - - To activate the reverser hold the configured button while applying thrust with your thrust lever. Instead of forward thrust this will apply reverse thrust. The cockpit levers will move backwards into the reverser range. - - Alternatively you can use `TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST` to use a button or key to activate reverse thrust. While this is active you can push the throttle forward to increase reverse thrust. To deactivate reverse thrust you need to press the mapped key/button again. - - ![Reverser Toggle](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/reverser-toggle-hold.png "Reverser Toggle") - -??? note "How to Setup Reverser: Controllers With Buttons Built Into the Throttle" - Some controllers have built in buttons that activate when the throttle is moved into the reverse position. With these controllers you can't use the above method as you would have to move the throttles forward to increase reverse thrust. But this would release the reverse button and apply normal forward thrust. - - To simulate reverse thrust with these throttle controllers you can map the reverser button(s) to the `THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE`. So as long as you keep the controller levers in the reverse position the throttle will be decreased up to full reverse thrust. To stop reverse thrust you would move the throttle forward (button will be released) and apply a little thrust so the throttle moves to a non-reverse value again. - - ??? note "Example: Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant" - The mapping required for the Bravo is shown in this screenshot: - - ![Bravo-MSFS-Mapping](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/bravo-msfs-mapping1.png "Bravo-MSFS-Mapping"){loading=lazy} - - The `THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE` mapping to `Buttons 10,26` and `Buttons 11,27` simulates the reverser when the Bravo's reverser lever is lifted (buttons 10 and 11) and the thrust lever is pulled back (buttons 26 and 27). This activates the buttons configured in the image above and in turn decreases throttle power to negative values for the reverser. - - If you release the reverser levers (buttons 10+11) the mapping to `THROTTLE CUT` activates and put the thrust back to idle. - - If you use the GA levers you will need to map the reverser to some other button, e.g. on your yoke/side stick, as the reverser buttons (10, 11) will not be there. - -### 5. Test - -??? tip "Do not go on with the guide without successfully testing the following:" - - - The throttle in the cockpit should now move in the correct direction. - - The throttle in the cockpit should move to TOGA when you set your controller to full thrust. - - The throttle in the cockpit should move to IDLE or FULL REVERSE when you set your controller to the lowest possible setting. - -If the tests are successful please move to the next chapter. Otherwise go through this chapter again to fix any issues. - -!!! danger "PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THE SECTION ABOVE" - ---- - -## A32NX flyPad (EFB) Detent Calibration - -### 1. flyPad Calibration Page - -??? note "Where Is the Throttle Configuration?" - - Open the flyPad (maybe pop it out to a separate window next to the throttle with ++ralt+left-button++) and go to **Sim Options (Tab)** -> **Calibrate**. - - ![flyPad-Settings](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/flyPad-Settings.jpg "flyPad-Settings"){loading=lazy} - - ![EFB-Calibrate](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/EFB-Calibrate.jpg "EFB-Calibrate"){loading=lazy} - - Throttle Calibration Page: - - ![EFB-Calibration-Page](../../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/efb-calibration-page1.png "EFB-Calibration-Page"){loading=lazy} - -### 2.

Deadband / Range Setting - -Analog controllers always have some imprecision and it is necessary to define a range of values which should be treated as a valid range for a detent. This is called a `deadband`. - -{== - -Usually there is no need to change the deadbands for the detents as the default values are sufficient in most cases! - -==} - -??? note "How to Check and Change the Deadbands" - ![Deadband around a detent setting](../assets/flypados2/throttle-calibration/deadband-setting.png "Deadband around a detent setting"){loading=lazy} - - The image above shows the controller in the `IDLE` position with a - control value of -0.50. - - As some controllers might be at a lower or higher value than -0.50 - and even the same controller might sometimes have slightly different values although in the same position, the `deadband` of 0.05 ensures that small differences in actual values are treated as within a valid range for the `IDLE` position. In this case all values from -0.55 to -0.45 are valid `IDLE` positions. - - Notice that the blue bar correspondents to current throttle position and is between two green lines.

You can find it in our [Installation Guide](../install/installation.md#estimated-system-requirements-for-a380x). + + As a baseline please expect to see a framerate reduction of up to -25% compared to the default A32NX. We are working on improving this in the future as the A380X is in an + alpha state and certain aspects of the model or textures may not be fully optimised for performance. + + There are other factors than can affect the performance of the A380X in the simulator. Below is a short list. + + - Using the A380X in conjunction with other addons can potentially have an impact on performance numbers such as: + - FSLTL + - Scenaries + - Etc. + - Graphical features such as DX12 Beta and Frame Generation + +??? info "Q: Can I use the foldout keyboard in front of the pilot?" + + This foldout keyboard (which extends from below the PFD/ND) can't be used currently. In real-life operations, this keyboard can also only be used for OIT input, and OIT is + not yet implemented in the A380X. + +??? info "Q: Is there a taxi cam?" + Due to sim limitations there isn't a taxi cam mode on the instruments available. We will provide preset camera *views* however which you can use as a solution. + +??? info "Q: Will there be a performance calculator?" + + We suggest using the (free) simBrief calculator for the time being, as it has been found to provide acceptable + outputs for the current configuration of the A380X. + + We might implement a performance calculator in the future, but it is not a priority at the moment. + +??? info "Q: Will hardware and gear from the A32NX work on the A380X (e.g. FCU Hardware)?" + + While there are some differences in some variables for the physical controls, most of them do follow the same naming scheme as the A32NX. That being said, some changes maybe required, so we recommend you create separate profiles for both aircraft. + +??? info "Q: What approaches can be flow with the A380X?" + + All types of approaches can be flown, with a differing degree in enabled automation. + + - ILS: Can be flown without problems, also as CAT/LAND 3 DUAL with AUTOLAND + - FLS, F-G/S, F-LOC: Not yet implemented + - Other non-precision approaches: You will have lateral guidance through NAV mode, but vertical guidance only through the FPA mode. + + Note: FINAL APP is a mode which can only be found on the A320 family in real-world operations for RNP (AR) approaches. As such, the A380X also doesn't implement it. Use the above method to fly other non-precision approaches. + +??? info "Q: Can I use hardware that only has 1 or 2 levers instead of 4?" + + Absolutely! We have adjusted our Throttle Configuration page to allow using 1, 2 or 4 throttles for using with your hardware! Mapping of the axis will need to be done by the MSFS binding menu (or external software). + +??? info "Q: Can you open the passenger and cargo door in the model?" + + Not all of them, some haven't been fully modeled (especially the ones in the upper deck). But you will be able to open the passenger doors from the inside using the lever. And also move the arm/disarm lever, albeit without function right now. + + The forward and aft cargo doors can be opened via the EFB, on the "Services" page using the Cargo Door button. The bulk cargo door is not yet animated. + + The cockpit door is animated and can be opened/closed, the locking mechanism which isn't implemented yet though, so you can open/close it no matter what. + +??? info "Q: Does the A380X have a cabin?" + + Our aircraft has a detailed cabin, with careful attention to detail and craftmanship. Please note that its still an on-going effort, and changes/corrections will be done in future releases. + +??? info "Q: Will there be online documentation, checklists or SOPs (standard operating procedures) documents?" + + Of course! Please visit our [Pilot's Corner](../../pilots-corner/a380x/index.md) for more information. + +??? info "Q: What liveries will be included?" + + The A380X will come with a house liveries, but we recommend downloading compatible liveries from [Flightsim.to](https://flightsim.to/c/liveries/flybywire-a380x/){target=new} when they become available. + +??? info "Q: Where will I be able to download the A380X" + + You will be able to download and install via the FlyByWire Installer! See our [Installation Guide](../install/installation.md) for more information. + +### Onboard Systems + +??? info "Q: Is the Vertical Situation Display (VSD) functional?" + + Partially. The VSD will only display the terrain ahead, but currently won't display the flight plan. + +??? info "Q: Is there a terrain display?" + + Yes the ND can project a map of the terrain when using SimBridge. You can enable terrain on ND by pressing the `TERR` button on the EFIS panel. + +??? info "Q: Does the EFB on the First Officer (FO) side work?" + The EFB currently receives touch input but does not have a display. It will be fully operational in the future. + +??? info "Q: Why is the 2nd ISIS blank?" + The 2nd ISIS has been disabled due to some technical difficulties. It will be re-enabled in the future. + +??? info "Q: What does the screen between the EFB and the PFD do that's blank?" + This is called the OIT (Onboard Information Terminal). It will be INOP for the initial release of the A380X. + + **Can the OIT be used for the EFB?** + + Currently this is not possible due to size differences. Most likely this won't be used for the EFB but reserved for aircraft related functionality. + +??? info "Q: Can I use the MFD/FMS with two separate screens?" + + Yes, the left and right MFD can be operated independently. You can open different pages on each of them. + +### 3rd Party Integrations + +??? info "Q: Is there a SimBrief Airframe and SimBrief Support?" + + **Airframe** + + We have released a compatible airframe. You will be able to find it on SimBrief natively, without having to import or add one. + + **Simbrief Support** + + Yes! Our EFB and the FMS initialization allows for the use of SimBrief profiles. You can use a Navigraph account or a SimBrief ID to enable this functionality. + + A subscription is not required for using SimBrief, but note that free SimBrief tiers use older AIRAC cycles and might show import errors or not include specific procedures. It is your responsibility to validate this data for your flight plan, especially when flying in online networks. + +??? info "Q: Does the A380X support GSX" + + Yes! The aircraft will have a GSX config file included so you won't have to download or configure anything additional. + + Please note that scenery configurations will require an update for the out-most compatibility with the aircraft due to its ICAO. Contact the creator of each airport-specific configuration file. + +??? info "Q: What about cabin passengers?" + + This is a feature GSX will need to configure and add to their software, please contact the GSX developer via their forums. + +??? info "Q: Will I require a Navigraph subscription for OANS and BTV" + + No, you will not require a Navigraph subscription for OANS and BTV. The data is provided by the simulator itself. + + OANS: Currently, a Navigraph Unlimited subscription is required to show airport maps on the ND. We are planning to work on integrating another free data source, but don't commit on a timeline. + + BTV: You can operate BTV without a Navigraph subscription. The desired braking distance can either be selected graphically through the OANS (see above, Navigraph required), or entered manually in the OANS control panel if you don't have a subscription. Both ways are described in the A380X advanced guide for OANS/BTV. + + [OANS/BTV Guide](../../pilots-corner/a380x/a380x-advanced-guides/oans-btv.md){.md-button} + + + diff --git a/docs/aircraft/a380x/inop.md b/docs/aircraft/a380x/inop.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..d271b4b3e --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/aircraft/a380x/inop.md @@ -0,0 +1,133 @@ +# INOP System + +## Description +The FlyByWire A380X is an open alpha work in progress.

Reverser Setup (when not on axis) + +If your throttle does not have a range for the reverser, there are two ways to activate and simulate reverser with +buttons. + +??? note "How to Set Up Reverser: Controller With a Separate Button or Key" + Microsoft Flight Simulator allows the mapping of a key or button to use the normal throttle axis as the reverser + axis. To configure this, choose a key or button on your controller and map it like this: + + ![Reverser Button Configuration](../../common/assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/reverser-hold.png + "Reverser Button Configuration"){loading=lazy} + + To activate the reverser, hold the configured button while applying thrust with your thrust lever. Instead of + forward thrust, this will apply reverse thrust. The cockpit levers will move backwards into the reverser range. + + Alternatively, you can use `TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST` to use a button or key to activate reverse thrust. While + this is active, you can push the throttle forward to increase reverse thrust. To deactivate reverse thrust, you need + to press the mapped key/button again. + + ![Reverser Toggle](../../common/assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/reverser-toggle-hold.png "Reverser Toggle") + +??? note "How to Set Up Reverser: Controllers With Buttons Built Into the Throttle" + Some controllers have built in buttons that activate when the throttle is moved into the reverse position. With + these controllers, you can't use the above method, as you would have to move the throttles forward to increase + reverse thrust. But this would release the reverse button and apply normal forward thrust. + + To simulate reverse thrust with these throttle controllers, you can map the reverser button(s) to the `THROTTLE 1/2 + DECREASE`. So, as long as you keep the controller levers in the reverse position, the throttle will be decreased up + to full reverse thrust. To stop reverse thrust, you would move the throttle forward (button will be released) and + apply a little thrust, so the throttle moves to a non-reverse value again. + + ??? note "Example: Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant" + The mapping required for the Bravo is shown in this screenshot: + + ![Bravo-MSFS-Mapping](../../common/assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/bravo-msfs-mapping1.png + "Bravo-MSFS-Mapping"){loading=lazy} + + The `THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE` mapping to `Buttons 10, 26` and `Buttons 11, 27` simulates the reverser when the + Bravo's reverser lever is lifted (buttons 10 and 11) and the thrust lever is pulled back (buttons 26 and 27). + This activates the buttons configured in the image above, and in turn decreases throttle power to negative + values for the reverser. + + If you release the reverser levers (buttons 10 + 11) the mapping to `THROTTLE CUT` activates and puts the thrust + back to idle. + + If you use the GA levers you will need to map the reverser to some other button, e.g., on your yoke/side stick, + as the reverser buttons (10, 11) will not be there. + +### 5.

So, any nav data issues will usually also be present in other default + aircraft and the World Map. + + You can test these issues by using the MSFS World Map. If the required nav data (waypoint, SID, STAR, APPR, Rwy, + Airport, etc.) is missing in the World Map as well, then it is a general nav data issue and not an issue with the + aircraft. + + Most common nav data issues come from flight planning tools (e.g., SimBrief, etc.) which use outdated nav data + versions (so called AIRAC). These often cost free tools are limited to generating routes using obsolete AIRAC + cycles, while MSFS regularly updates to the latest AIRAC available. This can lead to route incompatibilities and + various error messages when you import or enter the flight plan to the MCDU (A32NX) or MFD (A380X), including + "NOT ALLOWED", "NOT IN DATABASE", and "AWY/WPT MISMATCH". + + Any of these errors during route import could mean that your route is no longer valid in the current cycle, and + cannot be properly used as a valid flight plan in the sim. + + ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ + + To avoid this, we recommend a Navigraph subscription, which will make sure SimBrief and the sim have identical nav + data. Also, you would have the matching Navigraph charts at your disposal. + + If you have a Navigraph subscription but still have issues with the nav data, try a re-installation of the + navigation data by removing and installing the data with the Navigraph Data Center tool. + +??? tip "No Weather Radar" + ### No Weather Radar + + ^^Description^^ + + The A32NX or A380X currently do not have an operating weather radar.

Axis Mapping - -Check that the axis mappings are correct. - -??? note "How to Set Axis Mapping" - - Your controller needs to have an axis which can be used as a throttle lever.

If not, check the `Reverse Axis` box here: - - ![Reverse Axis Box](../../assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/reverse-axis-box.png "Reverse Axis Box"){loading=lazy} - - !!! warning "Don't worry whether the throttle does move all the way or moves too far into reverse now. Only the movement direction is important at this point. " - -### 4. Reverser Setup (when not on axis) - -If your throttle does not have a range for the reverser, there are two ways to activate and simulate reverser with buttons. - -??? note "How to Set Up Reverser: Controller With a Separate Button or Key" - Microsoft Flight Simulator allows the mapping of a key or button to use the normal throttle axis as the reverser axis. To configure this, choose a key or button on your controller and map it like this: - - ![Reverser Button Configuration](../../assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/reverser-hold.png "Reverser Button Configuration"){loading=lazy} - - To activate the reverser, hold the configured button while applying thrust with your thrust lever. Instead of forward thrust, this will apply reverse thrust. The cockpit levers will move backwards into the reverser range. - - Alternatively, you can use `TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST` to use a button or key to activate reverse thrust. While this is active, you can push the throttle forward to increase reverse thrust. To deactivate reverse thrust, you need to press the mapped key/button again. - - ![Reverser Toggle](../../assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/reverser-toggle-hold.png "Reverser Toggle") - -??? note "How to Set Up Reverser: Controllers With Buttons Built Into the Throttle" - Some controllers have built in buttons that activate when the throttle is moved into the reverse position. With these controllers, you can't use the above method, as you would have to move the throttles forward to increase reverse thrust. But this would release the reverse button and apply normal forward thrust. - - To simulate reverse thrust with these throttle controllers, you can map the reverser button(s) to the `THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE`. So, as long as you keep the controller levers in the reverse position, the throttle will be decreased up to full reverse thrust. To stop reverse thrust, you would move the throttle forward (button will be released) and apply a little thrust, so the throttle moves to a non-reverse value again. - - ??? note "Example: Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant" - The mapping required for the Bravo is shown in this screenshot: - - ![Bravo-MSFS-Mapping](../../assets/flypados3/throttle-calibration/bravo-msfs-mapping1.png "Bravo-MSFS-Mapping"){loading=lazy} - - The `THROTTLE 1/2 DECREASE` mapping to `Buttons 10, 26` and `Buttons 11, 27` simulates the reverser when the Bravo's reverser lever is lifted (buttons 10 and 11) and the thrust lever is pulled back (buttons 26 and 27). This activates the buttons configured in the image above, and in turn decreases throttle power to negative values for the reverser. - - If you release the reverser levers (buttons 10 + 11) the mapping to `THROTTLE CUT` activates and puts the thrust back to idle. - - If you use the GA levers you will need to map the reverser to some other button, e.g., on your yoke/side stick, as the reverser buttons (10, 11) will not be there. - -### 5. Test - -??? tip "Do not go on with the guide without successfully testing the following:" - - - The throttle in the cockpit should now move in the correct direction. - - The throttle in the cockpit should move to TOGA when you set your controller to full thrust. - - The throttle in the cockpit should move to IDLE or FULL REVERSE when you set your controller to the lowest possible setting. - -If the tests are successful, please move to the next chapter.

In this case all values from - 0.55 to - 0.45 are valid `IDLE` positions. - - Notice that the blue bar correspondents to the current throttle position and is between two green lines. The green lines mark your deadband range for the detent. As long as the blue bar is between them, the throttle reads this as the corresponding detent. If your throttle is outside these green bars, they become gray as you no longer are in the corresponding detent. - - If your controller values vary a lot although in the same position the value might sometimes be outside the deadband range. In this case, carefully increase the deadband value to include the value variations of the controller. - - !!! warning "Do not change the deadband if not necessary and also never set a value too large as deadband ranges must not overlap!" - -### 4.

This activates the buttons configured in the image above, and in turn decreases throttle power to negative values for the reverser. - - If you release the reverser levers (buttons 10 + 11) the mapping to `THROTTLE CUT` activates and put the thrust back to idle. - - If you use the GA levers you will need to map the reverser to some other button, e.g., on your yoke/side stick, as the reverser buttons (10, 11) will not be there. - - #### Calibrating in the FlyByWire flyPad (EFB) - - ??? tip "Tip: Default Values for Bravo" - You can use these default values for the Bravo throttle.

This is usually caused by either a conflicting controller mapping triggering the engine shutdown, e.g., when using the keyboard or controller when retracting the gear or flaps. - - Another common cause is users forgetting to fuel the aircraft. - - - Remove the conflicting mapping (e.g. "Auto Start Engine" or similar) - - Follow the correct fueling procedure for the A32NX: - [Fuel and Weight](../feature-guides/loading-fuel-weight.md#loading-fuel-and-weight) - -??? bug "Crash To Desktop (CTD)" - ### Crash To Desktop (CTD) - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - With the current state of the sim, it is basically impossible to analyze CTDs, let alone fix them, as MSFS does not provide any tools or logs for analyzing CTDs. - - If we can reliably reproduce a CTD in our aircraft, we will try to fix it or at least work around it. But most CTDs are very unpredictable and can be caused by many things: - - - Add-ons and mods - - Liveries
(flightsim.to just removed 1000s of them because of that) - - Airports - - Basically any add-on and mod that may be outdated or have conflicting files - - MSFS itself (e.g., Rolling Cache is often a cause) - - Hardware (GFX Card and Driver, Overclocking, etc.) - - Controllers and Drivers - - Any third-party application that connects to MSFS - - Unfortunately, just using the sim's API functions might trigger a CTD, so the trigger could be the aircraft, but the root cause would be the sim. - - If you can reproduce it reliably, please share this information with us on Discord or our GitHub, so we can try to reproduce it as well. This would be the first step to fixing anything. - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - There currently is no known guaranteed solution for all cases; However, users have found success with by trying the following: - - 1.

So, any nav data issues will usually also be present in other default aircraft and the World Map. - - You can test these issues by using the MSFS World Map. If the required nav data (waypoint, SID, STAR, APPR, Rwy, Airport, etc.) is missing in the World Map as well, then it is a general nav data issue and not an issue with - the aircraft. - - Most common nav data issues come from flight planning tools (e.g., SimBrief, etc.) which use outdated nav data versions (so called AIRAC). These often cost free tools are limited to generating routes using obsolete AIRAC cycles, while MSFS regularly updates to the latest AIRAC available. This can lead to route incompatibilities and various error messages when you import or enter the flight plan to the MCDU, including "NOT ALLOWED", "NOT IN DATABASE", and "AWY/WPT MISMATCH". - - Any of these errors during route import could mean that your route is no longer valid in the current cycle, and - cannot be properly used as a valid flight plan in the sim. - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - To avoid this, we recommend a Navigraph subscription, which will make sure SimBrief and the sim have identical nav data. Also, you would have the matching Navigraph charts at your disposal. - - If you have a Navigraph subscription but still have issues with the nav data, try a re-installation of the navigation data by removing and installing the data with the Navigraph Data Center tool. - -??? warning "CPDLC with Hoppie on IVAO" - ### CPDLC with Hoppie on IVAO - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - The answer-transmission of ATC instructions cannot be sent and the DCDU shows "SYSTEM BUSY" or does not send the message. It is not possible to send answers, close or delete ATC instructions. - - ^^Root Cause^^ - - The IVAO ATC software Aurora sends wrong message IDs in instructions. In the message handling of the A32NX, this causes the wrong interpretation and association of messages. - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - Do not use CPDLC on IVAO. - - ^^Additional Information^^ - - We are working with IVAO on a bugfix. - -??? warning "No Weather Radar" - ### No Weather Radar - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - The A32NX currently does not have an operating weather radar. This is due to performance issues related to the default - Asobo WX systems and implementing a custom ND in our aircraft. - - The team is currently waiting on a weather API to be implemented to make a radar that is as realistic as possible. You can read the MSFS forum here. - - [MSFS Feature Request for Weather API](https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/implement-weather-and-terrain-api-s-for-aircraft-developers-to-implement-accurate-radar-predictive-windshear-egpws-and-metar-wind-uplink/442016) - -??? warning "Fuel Prediction Too Low" - ### Fuel Prediction Too Low - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - Fuel prediction on the MCDU may not calculate enough fuel for the duration of your flight. - - ^^Root Cause^^ - - We are working on more realistic simulation of various involved systems, e.g., engines. The fuel predication will be inaccurate until we have updated the fuel planning feature on the MCDU. *Under Investigation* - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - When using the MCDU fuel planning feature, take more fuel than what is calculated for you - especially for longer flights. - -??? warning "Autopilot: Unwanted Disconnection" - ### Autopilot: Unwanted Disconnection - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development - - ^^Description^^ - - There are several common reasons for an autopilot disconnection, most of them are typically caused by user/pilot error. - - One common cause is input from controllers. Make sure your controllers are working correctly and do not send unwanted input. Use the MSFS deadzone controller settings to prevent unwanted input. - - Another common cause is the A320 protections for High Speed, High Angle of Attack incl. Alpha Floor. - See our dedicated documentation for the A320 protections: - [A320 Protection Documentation](../../pilots-corner/advanced-guides/protections/overview.md) - -??? warning "ADIRS Not Aligned When Starting at Runway or in the Air" - ### ADIRS Not Aligned When Starting at Runway or in the Air - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - ADIRS may not be aligned when spawning anywhere except cold & dark at a gate (*intermittent issue*) - - ^^Root Cause^^ - - Initialization timing issue of MSFS. - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - Workaround: Restart the flight - -??? warning "Unexpected Out of Fuel - No Fuel Transfer From Outer Tanks" - ### Unexpected Out of Fuel - No Fuel Transfer From Outer Tanks - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - Occasionally, the sim will "*miss*" the trigger point being reached for outer tank fuel transfer to initialize. - This may happen if the sim is "busy" working on something else OR the initial FOB at the start of the flight is below the trigger point. - - ^^Root Cause^^ - - Intermittent Issue / Under Investigation - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - Add enough fuel to get past the trigger point of 239 gallons before departing. - - Use the flyPad fuel page to add fuel to the aircraft: - [Fuel Page](../feature-guides/loading-fuel-weight.md#loading-fuel-and-weight) - -??? warning "Flypad Can’t Be Used in External View" - ### Flypad Can’t Be Used in External View - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - Due to a sim limitation, the flyPad cannot be used in the external view. - -??? warning "Ground Services on the flyPad Are Out of Sync" - ### Ground Services on the flyPad Are Out of Sync - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - The ground services on the flyPad are out of sync with the ground services on the aircraft/airport. - - As an aircraft in MSFS has no access to the ground service's real state, it is possible that the flyPad is out of sync with the actual state of the ground services. E.g., a door is open, but the corresponding door button is grayed out. - - ^^Possible Solution or Workaround^^ - - Please do a hard reset on the flyPad by either using the hardware power button or pressing and holding the software button.

Although the ice should melt fairly quickly (and no need to switch from auto to on), the windshield can still freeze over, and you can lose airspeed information upon first entering icing conditions if they are severe enough. - - The same goes for wing and engine anti-ice - turning them on before ice actually forms may not prevent ice from forming there, but it should melt fairly quickly. - -??? warning "Refueling/Boarding Buttons Missing/Disabled on EFB Fuel/Payload Page" - ### Refueling/Boarding Buttons Missing/Disabled on the EFB Fuel/Payload Page - - !!! tip "" - *Affected versions: Stable, Development* - - ^^Description^^ - - You may find the 'play' button (that is used to initialise the refueling process) or the 'boarding' button (used to initiate boarding of passengers) is missing or disabled on the 'Fuel' or 'Payload' page of the EFB (flyPad).

Modern airlines like the A320 are even able to use the ILS to land fully automatically as long as the runway's ILS supports it. - Understand important ILS approach chart features here: [Approach Chart](../airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#chart-sample-1) + Understand important ILS approach chart features here: [Approach Chart](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#chart-sample-1) !!! info "Microsoft Flight Simulator and navigation charts" Although Microsoft Flight Simulator allows some flight planning through the user interface, it is highly recommended to use navigational charts when flying airliners.

When the speed reaches its authorized limit, V/S automatically decreases to maintain the minimum or maximum speed limit.

Navigraph Unlimited subscription required

+ The OANS function currently relies on data provided by Navigraph, which can only be accessed with a Navigraph Unlimited + subscription. + + We're working on enabling OANS using the MSFS scenery data, however this is work-in-progress. + + BTV can be set up manually without the OANS airport map through the OANS control panel, for details see [Without Navigraph Unlimited](#without-navigraph-unlimited) + +

+ +--- + +## Airport navigation + +The OANS features a moving airport map on the flight crew's navigation display (ND). Any airport contained in the Navigraph +AMDB database can be selected for display. + +On the ground at the departure airport, the airport map should be loaded automatically. +Airports can be selected manually through the OANS control panel, which can be opened via the arrow button on the lower +right of the ND.

When detecting a runway inside this +area, an advisory is triggered on the PFD and ND. The advisory disappears when the above conditions aren't met anymore, or +the aircraft has entered the runway. + +There is no aural warning (as RAAS). + +![Runway ahead](../assets/advanced-guides/oans-btv/oans-runway-ahead.png) + +## BTV setup + +### With Navigraph Unlimited + +As part of the descent preparations, BTV is usually set up.

When doing so for a Temporary Flight Plan, the lines between waypoints will be dashed and + yellow. The active flight plan will show as green solid lines. + + ??? info "MANUAL Leg and DISCONTINUITY" + The flight plan might contain so-called discontinuities. These are breaks in the flight plan and often separate + two flight plan sections, like the SID and first in-route waypoint or the STAR and the APPR. They are also often + inserted when the flight plan is modified. + + Sometimes discontinuities are also part of a procedure to indicate that manual input is required + (mostly clearance by ATC). The preceding legs are called MANUAL legs. + + **Discontinuities after a MANUAL leg can not and should not be deleted.

This includes VOR and ILS frequencies. + + * A VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) is a radio beacon that can be used for non-precision navigation. + These beacons are used to follow or verify the route flown. + * ILS (Instrument Landing System) is a radio navigation system that provides short-range guidance to aircraft for + landing on a runway. + + Both can be entered using frequencies or identifiers for ease of use. + + The A380X supports VOR and ILS auto-tuning when in range of a VOR before departure. We will verify this in the "How + and Where?" step below. For ILS auto-tuning, the FMS will automatically load the departure runway ILS frequency if + there is one. Once we get within 250NM of our destination and are in climb phase or later, the ILS frequency of the + selected arrival runway will be auto-tuned. + +`NAVAIDS..............................................................CHECK`
+ +??? tip "How and Where?" + To reach the Navaids page, go back to the `INIT` page. You can do so by either selecting `INIT` from the `ACTIVE` + dropdown, or if you are on the `F-PLN` page after the previous section, you can just click the `INIT` button on the + bottom of the `F-PLN` page. + + Once on the `INIT` page, you can click the `NAVAIDS` button to go to the Navaids page. + + On this page, we would set any frequencies or identifiers needed for the departure and subsequently later en route, + those required for the arrival. + + #### VOR Tuning + + The A380X supports VOR auto-tuning when in range of a VOR before departure. You can verify this by checking the + RADNAV page and seeing if the VOR frequency is already populated. You should verify the relevance of this VOR to + your departure procedure and flight plan before takeoff. + + On this departure SID, we have routing instructions that rely on the Munich VOR `DMN` with a frequency of `116.0`. + + To enter this, you can click the `IDENT` field for `VOR1` and enter `DMN` and press `ENTER`. A page will open + showing multiple options. Select the closest one, with the `116.0` frequency. Now you have the `DMN` VOR selected + and can use it as a reference on the ND. + + #### Departure ILS + + When selecting the SID earlier in the flight plan section, the A380X should have auto-populated the ILS/LOC + frequency under the `LS` heading. If it hasn't, we can manually insert it for centerline guidance on take off. + + Our departure runway is EDDM/08L (runway 08 left), which has a frequency of `109.50`. When inputting a frequency, + and we are in range of the ILS, it will auto-populate the identifier and course. You could also enter the identifier + `IMNE` and it would automatically fill in the frequency. + + If the ILS information was not automatically populated, you can select the `IDENT` field under the `LS` header and + type in `IMNE` and then press `ENTER`. The other fields will automatically get populated. + + #### Arrival ILS + + With an ILS or LOC approach selected, the arrival ILS frequency should be automatically tuned correctly whenever the + aircraft is in climb phase or greater and within 250 NM of the destination. Ensure that we verify the ILS frequency + when we reach the arrival phase of the flight - see [Landing](07_landing.md#during-instrument-approach). + + ![NAVAIDS](../assets/beginner-guide/03_preparing-fms/fms-navaids.png){loading=lazy} + +### Fuel & Payload + +??? tip "What and Why?" + For a safe flight, we need to make sure that the FMS has the correct information about the fuel and payload on + board. This section will go over configuring the different values the FMS will use for optimal flight planning: + + * **Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW)** is the weight of the aircraft including passengers, cargo, and crew, but excluding + usable fuel. + * **Zero Fuel Weight Center of Gravity (ZFWCG)** represents the aircraft's balance point without fuel, affecting + stability and control during flight. + * **Block Fuel (BLOCK)** is the total amount of fuel loaded before departure, covering the entire flight, reserves, + and taxiing. + * **Route Reserve Fuel (RTE RSV)** is additional fuel allocated for potential deviations along your planned route, + such as detours due to weather or air traffic control instructions. + * **Alternate Fuel (ALTN)** is the fuel required to fly from your destination airport to the alternate airport if + landing at the original destination isn't possible. + * **Final Reserve Fuel (FINAL)** is the mandatory minimum fuel reserve upon reaching the alternate airport, + typically enough for 30 minutes of holding at a specified altitude. This is also referred to as **FINRES**. + * **Passengers (PAX)** is the amount of passengers aboard. + + + !!! info "Loading Fuel" + Via the EFB - [Learn How](../../../aircraft/common/flypados3/ground.md#fuel-page) + +`ZFW/ZFWCG...........................................................INSERT`

We need to divide the values from the OFP and EFB by a 1000 and round them to one decimal. + + Some of the values might already have some information set, but it is good to verify they are correct, and if not, + enter the correct ones. + + * Click on in the input box next to `ZFW` to fill in the value of `341.5` and press `ENTER` to store the value. + * For the `ZFWCG`, we do the same and enter `35.1`. + * Next is the `BLOCK` value, where we fill in the block fuel value of `22.6`. + * For `TAXI`, we set the value to `1.0`. + * `PAX NBR` we set to `399`. + * The `CI` should already be set to `10`, but it's good to verify. + * `RTE RSV` is grayed out and can not be configured at this time, this is expected. As long as `BLOCK` is correctly + filled in, the FMS will take all fuel on board in account. + * For the `ALTN` value, we set `5.9`. + * Finally, check the `FINAL` value, it should be close to what is in the OFP, if not, fill in the correct value as + described in the OFP. This might slightly change the time indication for your final reserve. + + Once you have filled in all the information in the `FUEL&LOAD` page, the page should look similar to the one below. + + ![FMS FUEL AND LOAD](../assets/beginner-guide/03_preparing-fms/fms-fuel-load.png){loading=lazy} + +### Performance + +??? tip "What and Why?" + The `PERF` page in holds information about the performance configuration of the aircraft for every phase of the + flight, starting with the Take Off phase. + + The `T.O PERF` (Takeoff Performance) page in the FMS allows pilots to input and verify takeoff-related data to + optimize aircraft performance during departure. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the aircraft operates within + safe performance limits by accounting for current conditions such as aircraft weight, runway length, environmental + factors, and configuration settings. + + On the `T.O PERF` page, pilots enter or confirm settings like takeoff flaps and slats positions, engine thrust mode + (more details below), and any changes in available runway length (`T.O SHIFT`). Additionally, it also requires + setting the essential speeds: + + * **V1**: Decision speed where a takeoff should no longer be aborted. + * **VR**: Rotation speed at which the pilot begins to lift the nose for takeoff. + * **V2**: Takeoff safety speed that ensures sufficient climb performance. + + The page may also include settings for acceleration altitude and engine-out acceleration altitude, which are + important for climb performance and obstacle clearance. By accurately configuring the `T.O PERF` page, pilots ensure + that the aircraft's automation systems are properly programmed for the takeoff phase, enhancing safety and + efficiency. + + ^^TOGA, FLEX and DERATED^^ + + The choice among TOGA, FLEX, and DERATED depends on factors like runway length, aircraft weight, and environmental + conditions. + + * TOGA (Takeoff/Go-Around) thrust provides maximum engine power for takeoff and is used when maximum performance is + required, such as on short runways or in adverse conditions. + * FLEX thrust is a reduced power setting based on an assumed higher temperature, allowing for lower engine stress + and fuel savings; it's used when full thrust isn't necessary due to favorable conditions. + * DERATED takeoff further reduces engine thrust by selecting a lower fixed thrust setting, independent of + temperature assumptions.

Depending on the weight of the aircraft, we may need to add a little +power to the engines to get going. + +It is recommended to verify the brakes by pressing smoothly the brake pedals and release. It is recommended to have a +taxi speed between 10 and 20 knots in a straight line. If the speed is exceeded, brake until it reaches 10 knots, then +let the aircraft accelerate again. It is recommended to be between 8 and 10 knots in a sharp turn. + +If it is required to perform a sharp turn immediately, we may need a bit more thrust. Try not to perform the brake +check while in a turn, as we don't want to come to a complete stop while turning. + +### Taxi Limitations + +It is generally recommended that pilots only taxi on taxiways large enough to support the aircraft. Because of how wide +the wingspan of the A380 is, we need large taxiways available to use. Appropriate taxiways are commonly found at large, +international airports, such as EGLL, EDDF, KJFK, CYYV, etc. + +Example EDDF (EDDM does not have a separate taxi chart for the A380):
+![img.png](../assets/beginner-guide/04_engine-start-taxi/chart-eddf-a380-taxi.png) + +??? tip "2 Engine Taxi" + There are several scenarios where taxiing can be limited. If, for example, the pilot opts for a 2-engine taxi, the + engines must be symmetrical. Symmetrical engines are engines on either wing symmetrical to another engine on the + opposite wing. For example, if we were to 2-engine taxi to the runway, we would use either `ENG 2+3` OR `ENG 1+4`. + In situations where tight turns are involved, it's recommended to use `ENG 2+3` to reduce the chance of FOD (foreign + object debris) ingest. + + For taxi on outer engines only: + + `ENGINE 1 AND 4 .................................................

+ + The level of detail in this guide is meant to get an Airbus A380 beginner safely up in the air and to cruise level + under normal conditions, while simplifying details which are not (yet) important for a beginner. + + A *beginner* is defined as someone familiar with flying a GA aircraft or different types of airliners. Aviation + terminology and know-how is a requirement to fly any airliner, even in Microsoft Flight Simulator. + +--- + +## MSFS Start from Gate or Runways + +Microsoft Flight Simulator allows you to start your flight from cold & dark at a gate or directly from the runway with +the aircraft ready for takeoff. + +For this guide, we assume you started cold & dark at the gate and taxied to the runway holding point as per the previous +chapters of this beginner guide. + +If you did start on the runway, you have to make sure to set up the FMS and APS correctly anyway as otherwise the aircraft +won't work as expected.

[Cruise](#5-cruise) + +--- + +## Base Knowledge About the Airbus A380 for Flight + +This section is focused on differences to other non-Airbus airliners a user might be used to. + +??? tip "What is a Fly-by-Wire System?" + Traditional mechanical and hydro-mechanical flight control systems use a series of levers, rods, cables, pulleys and + more, which pilots move to adjust control surfaces to aerodynamic conditions. Their "hands on" design gives pilots a + direct, tactile feel for how the aircraft is handling aerodynamic forces as they fly. On the other hand, mechanical + systems are also complicated to operate, need constant monitoring, are heavy and bulky, and require frequent + maintenance. + + In fly-by-wire systems, when the pilot moves flight controls, those movements are converted into electronic signals, + which are then interpreted by the aircraft's Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS) to adjust actuators that move + flight control surfaces. Computers also monitor sensors throughout the aircraft to make automatic adjustments that + enhance the flight. + + Because fly-by-wire is electronic, it is much lighter and less bulky than mechanical controls, allowing increases in + fuel efficiency and aircraft design flexibility, even in legacy aircraft. And to prevent flight critical failure, most + fly-by-wire systems also have triple or quadruple redundancy back-ups built into + them. [source: BAE Systems](https://www.baesystems.com/en-us/definition/what-are-fly-by-wire-systems){target=new} + + See also: [Fly-by-wire Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly-by-wire){target=new} + +??? tip "What is Autotrim?" + The A380 has a feature called "Autotrim", which makes it unnecessary to hold the sidestick or use the trim wheel for + holding the current pitch. This system is always active, even when the __Autopilot__ is off (in Normal Law, which means + under normal circumstances with a fully functional aircraft). + +??? tip "What is Autothrust?" + The A380 has __Autothrust__ which is similar to Autothrottle (e.g., in a Boeing), but it does not move the thrust + levers. Basically, the thrust levers are only moved by the pilot and never move on their own. The thrust levers act as a + maximum allowed power setting for the Autothrust system. During normal flight (after takeoff) the levers stay in the CL + climb detent, and the Autothrust system will set engine power accordingly. + +??? tip "What is Autopilot?" + The A380's __Autopilot__ system works a bit differently from other manufacturer's systems. The A380 FCU controls allow + setting certain values and then push or pull the knobs. Pushing usually means automatic control (Managed Mode) and + pulling will use the manually selected value (Selected Mode). + + ![FCU](../assets/beginner-guide/05_takeoff-climb-cruise/aps-fcu.png "FCU"){loading=lazy} + + The FCU (Flight Control Unit) shows three important values: + + - SPD "---":
+ Means the __Autopilot__ is in Managed Speed mode (e.g., 250kt <10000ft, 290kt above).
+ If we pull the SPD knob we can select a speed which the __Autopilot__ will then apply. + - HDG "---":
+ Means the lateral navigation is in Managed HDG Mode and the __Autopilot__ follows the planned route. + Dialing the HDG knob will let us select a heading and by pulling the knob we tell the __Autopilot__ to fly this + heading (Selected Heading Mode).
+ - ALT "5000":
+ Means the selected altitude is 5000ft
+ +??? tip "Using the FCU Knobs in Microsoft Flight Simulator" + In Microsoft Flight Simulator, pushing is clicking the knob "UP" and pulling is clicking the knob "DOWN"

These are preflight, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, + approach, go around, done. See also: [Flight Phases](../../../airliner/flight-phases). + +??? tip "What are Flight Envelope Protections" + The A380 includes many protections for the pilot, which make it nearly impossible to stall or overspeed the aircraft. + It's beyond this beginner-guide to go into details (Normal law, Alternate Law, Alpha Floor, etc.) + + [//]: # (TODO) + Please refer to the [A32NX Protections](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/protections/overview.md) + for more information on Protections on the A380 as the systems are similar. + +--- + +### 1.

[Intercepting ILS](#4-intercepting-ils) + +--- + +## Base Knowledge: Route, Star, Approach and ILS + +### Basics Information + +As we have learned in previous chapters, a flight route begins with an origin airport and a SID to safely guide the +aircraft away from the airport to the first waypoint on their actual route. Similar to a **SID**, the arrival to an +airport is done via a **STAR** (Standard Terminal Arrival Route) and an **IAP** (Instrument Approach, often APPR) to safely +bring the aircraft into a position to land on the destination airport safely and with as little ATC communication as +possible. + +??? tip "Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR)" + #### STAR + + A Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) ensures safe and efficient traffic from the last en-route waypoint to the + initial approach fix (IAF) of the Instrument Approach (IAP). It separates aircraft, avoids conflicts and helps with + noise abatement through specific routing, levels/altitudes, speed restrictions and checkpoints often with holding + areas. + + One main objective is, to do this with a minimum of communication between the ATC controller and the pilot. As the + STAR is part of the flight plan, a pilot can simply continue from the normal route into the STAR if ATC has not + given any other instructions. Sometimes ATC might give an explicit clearance for the STAR or change the STAR to + manage traffic and landing situation (different runways, etc.). + + Often a STAR contains a clearance point which mustn't be passed without explicit clearance by ATC. If clearance is + not given, then a holding must be flown as described in the charts. + + Please also have a look at our airliner guide's SIDs and STAR section + [SIDs and STARS](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#sids-and-stars) + + Find a good overview over charts in our airliner guide: + [Reading a Chart](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#reading-a-chart) + +??? tip "Instrument Approach (IAP)" + #### Instrument Approach + + The Instrument Approach (IAP or APPR) has similar goals as a SID or STAR - safely bring an aircraft into a + position to land while ensuring separation between multiple aircraft, avoiding terrain, support with noise + abatement, etc. + + IAP are often designed for handling maximum traffic in even bad weather conditions. With only little traffic and + good weather, it is quite common that ATC instructs the pilot to leave the approach route by giving the pilot + heading vectors for a more direct route to the Final Approach Fix (FAF, also called final approach point). + + When flying with Online ATC (VATSIM, IVAO, PilotEdge, ...) expect being vectored to the FAF quite often. + + Understand important ILS approach chart features here: + [Approach Chart](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#chart-sample-1) + +??? tip "Instrument Landing System (ILS)" + #### Instrument Landing System (ILS) + + The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is one of several modern forms of helping an aircraft during its final approach + to land even in non-optimal weather situations. ILS uses a localizer for lateral guidance and a glideslope for + vertical guidance from the Final Approach Fix down to a minimum at which the pilot needs to perform the final + landing sequence visually. + + Modern airliner like the A380 are even able to use the ILS to land fully automatically as long as the runway's ILS + supports it. + + Understand important ILS approach chart features here: + [Approach Chart](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/navigation.md#chart-sample-1) + +!!! info "Microsoft Flight Simulator and navigation charts" + Although Microsoft Flight Simulator allows some flight planning through the user interface, it is highly recommended + to use navigational charts when flying airliners. MSFS' flight planning does not provide sufficient information to + correctly fly a STAR or an approach. + + There are several good sources for charts - free or subscription based. A good free solution is + [ChartFox](https://chartfox.org/), which only requires a free VATSIM account. One of the most known + subscription-based sources for charts is [Navigraph](https://navigraph.com/home). Navigraph has been integrated into + the FlyByWire A380X flyPad, whereas Chartfox is TBD. + + Also, often a simple internet search will do the trick: Search for "<airport icao code> charts": + E.g., "EDDM charts" + +--- + +## 1. Planning the Descent and Approach + +**Situation:** + +- Aircraft is in `CRUISE` state and phase as per previous chapters. +- Distance to destination is ~200NM (on a short flight, start as early as possible and maybe even before the flight).

+ +!!! warning "Pilot's responsibility" + #### Pilot's responsibility + + It is the sole responsibility of the pilot to conduct proper flight planning, and especially proper descent + planning. + + It is not at all ATC's task to do descent planning for pilots by giving descent instructions. On the other + hand, ATC often actually gives descent instructions, especially on common routes, as they want the aircraft in their + responsibility to be at certain altitudes when approaching the destination airport. Nevertheless, pilots must know + when approaching their top of descent and if necessary need to proactively request clearance to descend from ATC. + + Good descent and approach planning is the foundation for a successful landing. It has to be done early during the + flight or even before the flight. + +??? tip "Important Data Points for Descent Planning:" + - **Cruise Flight Level:** The higher we fly, the earlier we need to start descending. Also for short flights, too + high a cruising altitude can make it impossible to actually descend to the destination airport in time. Therefore, + verify your flight plan if overall distance and flight level make sense. + - **Flight Plan Constraints:** STARs often have flight level (FL) or altitude constraints which we must adhere to. + We must plan our descent, so we can meet these altitude constraints, even when they themselves are still far away + from the destination airport. + - **Speed**: STARs also regularly have speed constraints which we need to take into consideration as slowing down + will cost time and is hard to do while descending. If we start our descent too late, we might not be able to slow + down in time as required by a constraint. + - **Aircraft capability and passenger comfort:** Although not a big concern in the A380, general aircraft + capabilities and passenger comfort also come into play. + +### Step-by-step Guide for Descent Planning +1. Read the STAR chart and determine if there are altitude and/or speed constraints which we need to consider. +2. Consider the STAR and APPR route as optional and do not count on them to be flown and available for descending. ATC + might want to vector us to a different runway or at least shortcut our approach. But they won't be able to if we are + still too high for the final approach. +3. Determine the first constraint you need to meet. This could be a STAR waypoint with an altitude constraint, the Final + Approach Fix altitude or even the airport (or runway) elevation itself. +4. Calculate the required distance needed to descend to that waypoint with a standard descent angle of 3°. We can use + the FlyByWire flyPad in the cockpit or a simple rule of thumb calculation (details below). +5. Use the DIR TO function of the F-PLN page to determine the distance to the waypoint (see details below). + +??? tip "How to Calculate the Required Distance for Descent" + #### Calculate the Required Distance for Descent + **Example data:** + + - Flight to EGKK via STAR TEBRA 2G. + - Flight level FL320. + - STAR constraint at waypoint ABTUM "at FL140". + + **Example chart:** + + ![STAR EGKK TEBRA](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/descent/STAR-EGKK-TEBRA.png "STAR EGKK TEBRA"){loading=lazy}

+ ![Descent calculation with a given distance](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/descent/FlyPad-performance-TOD2.png "Descent calculation with a given distance") + +??? tip "Rule of Thumb" + #### Rule of Thumb + + ``` + Distance = "Altitude difference"*3/1000+margin** + + Altitude difference: 32000-14000=18000 + Times 3: 18000*3=54000 + Divided by 1000: 54000/1000=54 + Plus margin (~10%): 59NM + ``` + + The margin can be lower for headwind and larger for tailwind. Some pilots also change the margin to compensate for + slowing down while descending. + + As can be seen on the chart, there will be a further descent to TIMBA at FL70 and after that (not visible on the + chart above), there will be a descent to the final approach which will be at 2000ft at the Final Approach Fix FF26L. + + The same methodology/calculation as our initial descent can be applied to these descents as well, but they require + less planning as they are usually designed in a way that an aircraft with a 3° descent angle can make these descents + with ease. + + ATC will quite often instruct certain altitudes within the STAR and APPR which deviate from the STAR and APPR + charts. Please expect such instructions at any time. + + +??? tip "Distance to Waypoint" + #### Distance to Waypoint + + The F-PLN page of the MFD has the DIR TO function which can be used to determine the distance to a waypoint. This is + currently the only way to get this information without having to calculate it manually by adding up all distances + between waypoints as displayed on the F-PLN page. + + Unfortunately, the A380X does not yet have [FIX INFO](../../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-planning/fixinfo) + implemented, so we can't use it to determine when to start descent at a certain distance. + + To use the DIR TO function, go to the F-PLN page and select the waypoint you want to know the distance to. Then press + on the waypoint and select the DIR TO option in the popup menu. + + ![DirTo Distance](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/mfd-fpln-dirto-distance.png){loading=lazy} + + **ND distance rings:** + + The ND distance rings can also be used to determine the distance to a waypoint or fix.

+ +### Arrival Planning + +For arrival planning, we can collect the following information and execute the following steps: + +??? tip "Entering DEST DATA on the MFD" + ##### Entering DEST DATA on the MFD + + Before we descend, we should also reconfirm our destination runway and input or update our destination data into the + MFD PERF APPR page. This is typically done about 50NM before the starting the descent. We can obtain this data from + the destination airport's ATIS information and the airport charts. + + ![ENTER DEST DATA Message on the MFD](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/mfd-perf-appr-data.png + "ENTER DEST DATA Message on the MFD"){loading=lazy} + + From ATIS we get: `QNH`, `TEMP`, `MAG WIND` and `TRANS LVL` - if not refer to the approach chart. + + ATIS Example: + ``` + ARR-ATIS EDDF P METAR 1450 - EXPECT DEPENDENT PARALLEL ILS Y + APCH RWY 07L OR ILS APCH RWY 07R - RWY 07L 07R - EXPECT RADAR + VECTORING, GLS APCH ON REQUEST, DO NOT MISTAKE TWY M FOR RWY 07C + WHEN PERFORMING VISUAL APPROACH - TRL 60 - 32003KT 270V350 - + 9999 - - - FEW038 - T19 DP08 - QNH1030 - NOSIG - + ``` + + From the chart, we get `Trans level` and `BARO` (=DA or MDA) or `RADIO` (=RA or DH). + + - CAT I ILS uses DA or MDA and is entered into the `BARO` field. + - CAT II/III ILS use RA or DH, which is put in the `RADIO` field. + - `BARO` is based on barometric altitude whereas `RADIO` is based on radio altitude (distance to ground). + + For more information on the different types of minimums, see the + [Minimums and MDA/DH](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/approaches.md#minimums-and-mdadh) section on the + [Approaches](../../airliner/airliner-flying-guide/approaches.md) page in the airliner flying guide. + +??? tip "Trans level: By ATC" + ##### Trans level: By ATC + + In the particular example below, the `Trans level` field states `By ATC`. If you are not flying on a network such as + VATSIM or IVAO, you can try the following things: + + - Search online for the real life D-ATIS at your arrival airport (much like the ATIS example above). + - Use the `Trans ALT`+1000ft. + - If you have imported your flight plan via our simBrief integration, this value would be autopopulated for you. + + ![Transition level on chart](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/eddf-07c-trans-alt.png + "Transition level on chart"){loading=lazy}
+ *Copyright © 2021 Navigraph / Jeppesen* + +??? tip "ILS in the A380" + ##### ILS in the A380 + + Although the A380 is capable of a CAT IIIB ILS approach (with Autoland) and has an approach category of "C" we will + do a manual landing for the purpose of this guide. + (see [Wikipedia Aircraft approach category](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_approach_category){target=new}) + + So for the minimums we need to find the `DA` or `MDA` for CAT I ILS for the destination airport. In this chart for + EDDF 07C ILS there is a `DA` of 528ft defined - so we can enter "528" into the `BARO` field. + + If we are using Microsoft Flight Simulator without any Online ATC services (VATSIM, IVAO, PilotEdge, ...), and using + the MSFS built-in ATC, you usually can't request ATIS information for the destination airport at this point. MSFS + ATC makes ATIS only available once close to the destination airport. + + If we are flying with Online ATC, you can request ATIS via the network. + +??? tip "METAR Information" + ##### METAR Information + + We can in any case request the METAR weather information the flyPad EFB. + + ![flyPad showing weather](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/flypad-weather-widget.png){loading=lazy} + +`WEATHER AND LANDING INFORMATION ...................................

+ +#### OANS (Onboard Airport Navigation System) and BTV (Brake to Vacate) +If available, you can also set up the [OANS and BTV](../../a380x-advanced-guides/oans-btv) for the destination airport. + +??? tip "OANS" + The Onboard Airport Navigation System (OANS), developed jointly by Thales and Airbus, is a groundbreaking technology + designed to enhance pilot navigation during airport operations. + + Key features of OANS include: + + **Overview Map Display:** OANS provides pilots with an overview map display of the airport apron and taxiways. This + display indicates the precise location of the aircraft on the map, aiding pilots during taxiing and ground movements. + + **Geo-Referenced Map Integration:** The system integrates the plane’s position on a high-resolution, geo-referenced map + using a standardized Airport Mapping Database. This ensures accurate and clear navigation guidance for pilots, + especially when they find themselves in unfamiliar airports after landing. + + **Efficiency Benefits:** By helping pilots navigate airports more efficiently, OANS aims to: + - Reduce taxi time. + - Streamline airport handling operations. + - Maximize turnaround times + + **Adaptation to Multiple Platforms:** Initially certified for the A380, OANS has been adapted to other Airbus platforms, + including the A320, A330, A340, and A350 XWB. Thales’s expertise allows effective adaptation of systems designed for + newer platforms into earlier ones3. + + In summary, OANS bridges the technological gap between the air and the ground, providing pilots with clear and + concise directions from landing through arrival at the gate, and vice versa3. + +??? tip "BTV" + Brake to Vacate (BTV) is a system that helps pilots to select the most appropriate runway exit for their aircraft + based on the aircraft’s current position, speed, and weight. The system calculates the optimal exit based on the + aircraft’s deceleration capabilities and the distance to the exit. + + By selecting the most appropriate exit, pilots can reduce taxi times and improve airport efficiency. This is + especially important for busy airports with high traffic volumes, where every minute saved can help to reduce + congestion and improve overall airport operations. + + BTV is a valuable tool for pilots, providing them with the information they need to make informed decisions about + runway exits. By selecting the most appropriate exit, pilots can help to reduce taxi times, improve airport + efficiency, and enhance the overall passenger experience. + + +`RUNWAY SHIFT .................................................

+ (See [A32NX Vertical Mode Annunciations](../../a32nx/a32nx-briefing/pfd/second-column.md) as the A380 FMA is very similar). + +??? warning "Using V/S not recommended for beginners" + It is not recommended to use V/S for climbing or descending in the A380 (at least not for beginners) as the V/S + guidance has priority over the speed guidance, and speed needs to be watched very closely when using V/S. + + If the selected target V/S is too high (relative to the current thrust condition and speed), the FMGC will steer the + aircraft to the target V/S, but the aircraft will also accelerate or decelerate. When the speed reaches its + authorized limit, V/S automatically decreases to maintain the minimum or maximum speed limit. + + See also [A32NX Protections](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/protections/overview.md) as the A380 systems are very + similar. + +??? tip "VNAV and ATC in the FlyByWire A380X" + In case we are cleared to a lower altitude or flight level with altitude constraints above the clearance + is an ideal scenario for the called so `VNAV` autopilot mode, which would be activated by using + "`Managed Altitude Mode`" (pushing the `ALT selector`). + + The autopilot will automatically level off at the constraint and continue descending when the constraint is no + longer valid. ATC typically will not clear us to our final target altitude directly, but will give us several step + descents down to our required altitude. + + ATC will often still expect us to respect the STAR's constraints, although they might have given us a lower + clearance.

+??? note "APPR Phase and Speed" + When passing the pseudo waypoint `D` (DECEL) the aircraft will automatically switch to the `APPR` phase. + + Check if the `APPR` phase is activated by going to the `PERF` page on the `MFD` and verify that the `APPR` mode is + active (green tab). If it is not active, you can activate it by pressing the `ACTIVATE APPR *` button at the bottom + of the `PERF` page. + + When in the APPR phase, the `Autopilot` together with "Managed Speed Mode" relieves the pilot of a lot of stress + by managing the speed according to flaps setting automatically (S-Speed after `FLAPS 1`, F-Speed after `FLAPS 2`, + V~app~ after landing flap selection). + +`SPEED MODE ....................................................... MANAGED`
+??? note "Managed Speed Mode" + Set `SPEED` to `Managed Speed Mode` (push the `Speed Selector`). The aircraft should now decelerate to `green dot` + speed. +`APPR MODE .......................................................... PRESS`
+??? note "Activate APPR mode" + Turn on `APPR` in the `FCU` to command the aircraft to intercept the ILS localizer. The aircraft will keep the + current heading until the localizer is captured and guides the aircraft towards the runway.

SET`
+??? note "Flaps 1" + Set `FLAPS` to 1 at about V~FE~ -15 knots (but never before speed is below V~FE~) for the first slat/flap + configuration (`CONF1`). The aircraft will then decelerate further to prepare for the next flaps configuration. Our + target is to be in CONF 1 and at S-speed by the time you need to set flaps 2 (CONFIG 2) before the glideslope + intercept (S-speed will be slow enough to set flaps 2). + + ![VFE for next configuration](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/landing/PFD-Speed-band-flaps-marker.png + "VFE for next configuration"){loading=lazy} +`TCAS MODE ..........................................................

In real life and also when flying with Online ATC like VATSIM, we need to expect that ATC instructs us to + stay at a certain speed (e.g., 160knots until 5NM to the runway). + + In this case, we would use `Selected Speed Mode` (select a speed in the `FCU` and pull the knob) until the + instructed distance to the runway where we would then go back to `Managed Speed Mode` and drop the gear then as well + as setting flaps to 3 and flaps to full - see below. + +`GO AROUND ALTITUDE ................................................... SET`

+`AUTOTHROTTLE .................................. CHECK IN SPEED MODE OR OFF`
+ +??? tip "Autoland" + Although the A380 can do an automatic landing (**Autoland**) we will do a manual landing as this is more common and + also more fun. + + For an advanced guide on Autoland, see [here](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/autoland.md). + +!!! warning "Clearance" + We MUST get landing clearance from ATC before we actually are allowed to land. Without landing clearance, we must do + a go-around (not part of this beginner guide) before touching the runway. Usually, ATC will have given us clearance + at this point. Late clearance is rare and communicated to us beforehand. + +`AUTOPILOT ............................................................ OFF`
+??? note "Autopilot OFF" + Next, we turn the **Autopilot** `OFF` at about 500ft above the ground by pressing the green lit `AP1+2` buttons on + the `FCU`. + + We leave the **Autothrust** on, so we don't have to worry about thrust and speed at all (Leaving **Autothrust** on + for landing is common for the Airbus). + +??? tip "PAPI lights" + At the beginning of the runway you will notice an array of lights to the runway side. These are called PAPI lights + and act as a visual indicator as to whether or not the airplane is on the correct glideslope. The lights also + indicate whether the plane is too high or too low off glideslope. For example, if you see 4 white lights, that means + the plane is too high. If you see 4 red lights, that means the plane is too low. We want two white lights and 2 red + lights. + + ![PAPI indication correct path](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/landing/PAPI-2red2white.png "PAPI indication correct path"){loading=lazy} + + See also [Wikipedia:PAPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_approach_path_indicator) + + We correct our pitch only very carefully when too high (3-4 white) or too low (3-4 red).

We should not need to correct much at this point. + +`LAND ON FMA (at 350ft agl) ......................................... CHECK`
+`ILS COURSE ......................................................... CHECK`
+ +`ONE HUNDRED ABOVE ................................................ MONITOR`
+ +`MINIMUM .......................................................... MONITOR`
+`LANDING or GO-AROUND............................................. MONITOR`
+??? note "Go-Around" + If you are not stable for landing at 100ft above the ground, you should do a go-around. This is a common procedure + and not a failure. + + Thie beginner guide does not cover a go-around - see the advanced guide for this. +

TODO: link to advanced guide

+ +`FLARE (~40ft agl) ............................................... INITIATE`
+??? note "Flaring" + Once over the runway threshold, we look towards the end of the runway to better judge our pitch, especially for the + so-called **Flare**. + + The flare follows the final approach phase and precedes the touchdown and roll-out phases of landing. In the flare, + the nose of the plane is raised, slowing the descent rate and therefore, creating a softer touchdown, and the proper + attitude is set for touchdown. + + At the runway threshold we should be about 50ft above ground and prepare to set the thrust levers to idle and flare. + + ![Runway threshold](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/landing/Runway-threshold.png "Runway threshold"){loading=lazy} + + At about 40ft, we start our flare by pulling back on the sidestick carefully. We only need a few degrees in positive + pitch and hold the aircraft there. Too much flare will cause the aircraft to float down the runway, too little will + cause a harder landing. +`ATTITUDE ......................................................... MONITOR`
+??? note "Attitude" + We hold the attitude of the aircraft until it settles on the ground. + + **Do not push the sidestick forward (nose down) once flared.** + + We let the aircraft settle to the runway while holding the pitch. +`THRUST LEVERS ....................................................... IDLE`
+`DEROTATION ...................................................... INITIATE`
+??? note "Derotation" + We let the front gear settle gently on the runway (don't slam it down) and hold the center line of the runway while + we are reducing speed. The speed reduction should be monitored on the `PFD` speed band and the speed trend arrow. + +`REVERSER LEVERS ..................................................... PULL`
+??? note "Reverser Levers" + It is recommended to select MAX REV as soon as the landing gear touches down. If for operational reason the use of + the thrust reversers are limited, it is recommended to maintain IDLE REV until the aircraft reaches the taxi speed. +`GROUND SPOILERS EXTENDED................................. CHECK / ANNOUNCE`
+??? note "Ground Spoilers" + Verify the slats/flaps display on the lower part of the primary flight display. Ensure that the ground spoilers are + deployed. In the event of no deployment, check that all thrust levers are positioned at the IDLE detent. If no + ground spoilers extended, set both thrust reversers to MAX REV, and press the brake pedals. +`REVERSERS ............................................... CHECK / ANNOUNCE`
+??? note "Reversers" + You can verify the reversers on the Engine Warning Display. It should display the reverser deployment. +`AUTO BRAKE ................................................ CHECK/ANNOUNCE`

Disembarking Passengers and Baggage + +**Situation** + +- **Parking** checklist is completed. + +In real life, there are many things that begin automatically after parking at the gate. The Jetway is connected to the +aircraft, doors are opened, passengers disembark, cargo is unloaded, etc. The pilots don't have to do much to trigger +these steps. + +In the simulator, though, we would have to trigger these events by ourselves. For this, we use the FlyByWire flyPad's +ground functionality or the Microsoft Flight Simulator's built-in ATC to start these procedures. There are also some +nice add-on tools out there which help with this. + +Taking care of passengers and luggage with the FlyByWire flyPad: + +- Go to the flyPad (view can be activated by `Ctrl+0`). +- Connect the Jetway (PAX). +- Call cargo/baggage (Baggage). + +This would take a while in real life, and we would not be able to shut down the aircraft before all +passengers and crew have disembarked. + +For a turnaround, we would start preparing the aircraft for the next flight, and the cabin crew would coordinate +everything from disembarking the passengers to cleaning and resetting the cabin. + +After refueling, the pilot would signal to the cabin crew that they could let the new passengers board the aircraft once +the cabin is ready. + +This concludes *Disembarking Passengers and Baggage*. + +## 3.

+ The FG gives guidance based on flight targets picked by the flight crew, or managed by the Flight Management System. +- The Flight Management System (FMS)
+ The FMS handles the flight plan, set by the flight crew, and gives flight parameters to the FG accordingly. + +### Flight Guidance (FG) + +The FG's job is to give lateral and vertical guidance, including speed or Mach control, based on set targets. +These targets can be either selected or managed. + +#### Selected Targets + +The flight crew picks the targets via the short-term interface: The AFS Control Panel (CP). Then the FG uses these +targets to give selected guidance. + +#### Managed Targets + +The flight crew uses the long-term interface, the Multi Function Display (MFD), to set up the flight plan. The FMS +calculates managed targets accordingly. Then the FG uses these targets to give managed guidance. + +### AFS CP Philosophy + +On the AFS CP, the SPD/MACH, HDG/TRK, V/S / FPA knobs can be turned, pulled, and pushed. This lets the flight crew: + +- Preselect a target: Turn +- Use a mode that will guide the aircraft to a **selected** target: Pull +- Arm or use a mode that will guide the aircraft to a **managed** target: Push. + +Here is an example with the ALT (altitude) knob:
+![aps-knob-push-pull.png](../../../assets/a380x-briefing/flight-deck/glare/aps-knob-push-pull.png)
+Pull = Selected / Push = Managed + +### FG FUNCTIONS: AP, FD AND A/THR + +To do its job (lateral guidance, vertical guidance, including speed or Mach control), the FG uses: + +- The Autopilot 1 and/or 2 (AP1 and/or AP2)
+ The AP gives flight guidance by calculating pitch, roll, yaw and nosewheel steering orders. +- The Flight Directors 1 and 2 (FD1 and FD2)
+ The FDs show guidance orders on the PFDs to help the flight crew fly the aircraft manually. When the AP is on, the + flight crew can use the FD orders to monitor the guidance. +- The Autothrust (A/THR)
+ A/THR controls the thrust by sending commands to the engines. + +### FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) + +The Flight Management System (FMS) gives **long-term guidance** along the set flight plan. + +To do these long-term tasks, the FMS calculates managed targets, that are then sent to the FG. + +Besides long-term guidance, the FMS: + +- Gives flight planning and navigation info +- Calculates and optimizes performance data +- Shows info on the MFD, ND and PFD. + +### FLIGHT MANAGEMENT COMPUTER (FMC) + +There are two FMSs (FMS1 and FMS2), that use three FMCs: FMC-A, FMC-B and FMC-C. + +In normal operation: + +- FMC-A runs FMS1 +- FMC-B runs FMS2 +- FMC-C is on standby, ready to run FMS1 or FMS2. + Each FMC can run all the flight management functions. + +### Flight Director (FD) + +The Flight Director (FD) shows guidance orders on the Primary Flight Displays (PFDs): + +- If no AP is on, the flight crew can manually fly the aircraft by following FD orders +- If at least one AP is on, the flight crew can use the FD to monitor the flight guidance.
+ +When the FDs are on, the PFDs can show the roll, pitch and yaw bars. + +When the FDs are on: + +- The FD pb on the AFS CP lights up +- 1FD2 shows up on both FMAs +- When a mode is active, the PFDs show the FD orders. + +### Autopilot (AP) + +The Autopilot (AP): + +- Stabilizes the aircraft around its center of gravity +- Controls the lateral path +- Controls the vertical path, or speed/Mach +- Works with the A/THR +- Does the automatic landing, or the go-around. + +The AP generates: + +- Pitch, roll, and yaw orders +- The nosewheel angle. + +There are two APs: AP1 and AP2. Only one works at a time. AP1 uses ADIRS1, and AP2 uses ADIRS2. + +AP1 and AP2 usually work separately. In some conditions (e.g. APPR mode), the flight crew can use both at the same time. + +One AP works when the flight crew presses the AP1 pb or the AP2 pb on the AFS CP, and: + +- The aircraft is in flight for more than 5 s +- The aircraft pitch, bank angle, and speed are not too much. + - The pitch is between -11 ° and 22.5 ° + - The bank angle is less than 40 ° + - The speed is between VLS and VMAX. + +When AP1(2) works: + +- The AP1(2) pb lights up +- Both FMAs show: + - AP1 (AP2) + - AP1+2, if both APs are on. + +The status of the AP shows in the AP, FD, A/THR status column of FMAs. + +The standard way to manually turn off the AP is to press two times the sidestick pb on either sidestick. + +The AP also turns off when the flight crew: + +- Press the AP1(2) pb, while AP1(2) is already on, or +- Move a sidestick, or the sidestick deflection goes beyond 5° on pitch axis, or 6° on roll axis. +- Moves the rudder pedals. The rudder pedal deflection goes beyond 10°. + +The AP automatically turns off, if one of the following happens: + +- The aircraft pitch, bank angle, speed/Mach, or Angle Of Attack (AOA) becomes too much: + - The pitch is below -13 °, or above 25 ° + - The bank angle is above 45 ° + - The speed is below VLS, or above VMO + 15 kt + - The Mach is above MMO + 0.04 + - The AOA is above αprot + 1 ° (above 100 ft RA). + - This does not apply in LAND below 200 ft RA. +- A failure happens in approach + +Different warnings will trigger, depending on how it disconnects. + +As the AP system is a complex system, a full description of the AP system goes beyond this briefing. It is planned to +provide a dedicated advanced guide on the Auto Flight System (AFS) in the future. + +### Autothrust (A/THR) + +The A/THR is either armed, active, or off. + +When active, the A/THR can work in two different types of mode: + +- SPEED/MACH mode: The A/THR continuously adjusts the thrust to keep a speed/Mach target, e.g. during cruise, and approach +- THRUST modes: The A/THR controls a fixed thrust, based on the active THRUST mode. + +The A/THR modes are automatically linked to the AP/FD vertical modes: + +- When an AP/FD vertical mode controls the path (e.g. altitude acquire modes, altitude hold modes, V/S / FPA, G/S, + F-G/S), the A/THR is in SPEED/MACH mode +- When an AP/FD vertical mode adjusts the aircraft pitch to keep a speed/Mach target (e.g. climb, descent), the A/THR is + in THRUST mode. + +The flight crew uses the thrust levers to: + +- Arm, activate, and turn off the A/THR +- Use the takeoff and go-around modes +- Manually control the thrust of each engine, when the A/THR is off +- Use reverse thrust on engine 2 and 3. +- The thrust levers have: + - Four detents: 0 (idle), CL, FLX-MCT, TOGA. + - Two instinctive disconnect pushbuttons. + +When the A/THR is active: + +- The FMA shows: + - The A/THR message on the third line of the fifth column + - The A/THR mode in green on the first line of the first column. +- The A/THR pb light is on the AFS CP. + +As the A/THR system is a complex system, a full description of the A/THR system goes beyond this briefing.

The managed descent does not occur until the pilot initiates the descent following clearance from ATC. - -## APPROACH Phase - -The APPROACH phase starts when the pilot activates and confirms the approach on the PERF descent page, or when the approach deceleration pseudo waypoint (DECEL) is passed and the aircraft is below 9500 ft AGL in managed flight. - -## GO-AROUND Phase - -The GO-AROUND phase is activated when the thrust levers are moved to the TOGA position while in the APPROACH phase.
