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.

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.

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.

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).

+ ![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. The distance rings can be set to a
+ specific distance and will show the distance to the waypoint or fix. The distance rings can be set by pressing the
+ ND button on the lower ECAM display and then selecting the distance rings option.

+
+??? 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.

+#### 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.

+`ND MODE ............................................................. PLAN`
+`ND RANGE ............................................................ ZOOM`
+`RUNWAY ............................................................ SELECT`
+`RUNWAY EXIT ....................................................... SELECT`
+??? note "Exit Selection"
+ It is recommended to select the exit in accordance with the runway conditions. It is recommended to select an exit
+ after the wet line to anticipate any changes of runway condition, as well as a smoother deceleration for passenger
+ comfort. It is also recommended to take into account arrival gate, the ground circulation, the runway exit
+ configuration, and the predicted turn around time, which is displayed on the navigation display
+`AUTO BRAKE/BTV ....................................... SELECT, AS REQUIRED`
+??? note "Brake / BTV"
+ It is recommended to use of the autobrake system to have equal brake pressure and prevent brake overheat. Select the
+ appropriate autobrake mode, depending on the weight, the runway length, the conditions and the winds. However, if
+ the pilot selects the BTV system, set the BTV mode before removing the onboard airport navigation display from the
+ navigation display. It is recommended on contaminated runway to use the autobrake mode 3. It is recommended to use
+ of the HI mode if the BTV mode is not available or on short runway conditions

+
+This concludes *Descent and Approach Planning*.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Descent
+
+**Situation:**
+
+- Aircraft is in `CRUISE` phase as per previous chapters.
+- Descent and approach planning is done.
+- The first descent point (altitude at certain waypoint) is identified.
+- Distance-to-descent point is calculated, which is called TOD (top of descent).
+
+??? tip "Descent Clearance from ATC & TOD"
+ A few minutes before we reach our calculated descent point (TOD) we request clearance for descent from ATC if not
+ already given a descent instruction before.
+
+ **Do NOT start the descent without clearance from ATC.**
+
+ The A380 has a downward pointing arrow at the TOD to support the pilot with the decision of when to descend.
+
+ **Ultimately, it is still the pilot's responsibility to calculate and validate the TOD.**
+
+ When clearance is given, we can start our descent to the flight level or altitude ATC has given us.
+
+`DESCENT CLEARANCE ................................................. OBTAIN`
+`CLEARED ALTITUDE ON AUTO FLIGHT SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL ................. SET`

+### Starting the Descent
+
+`DESCENT ......................................................... INITIATE`
+`ALTITUDE ..................................................... QNH/HPA SET`
+`CABIN CREW ........................................................ ADVISE`
+
+??? tip "How to initiate the descent"
+ For descending, we set the new flight level or altitude in the `FCU` with the `altitude selector`. We can then
+ either PUSH the selector for `Managed Altitude Mode` (constraints are respected, also known as
+ [DES](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/vertical-guidance/managed-modes.md#des-descent)) or PULL the
+ selector for `Selected Altitude Mode` (constraints are ignored, also known as
+ [OP DES](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/vertical-guidance/selected-modes.md#op-des-open-descent)).
+
+
+ ![Entering the new altitude and pushing the knob for Managed Altitude Mode](../assets/beginner-guide/05_takeoff-climb-cruise/fma-altitude-15000.png
+ "Entering the new altitude and pushing the knob for Managed Altitude Mode"){loading=lazy}
+
+??? info "What is DES mode"
+ Managed Descent (DES) Mode will follow a calculated vertical profile, this may lead to unexpected occurrences of
+ very high and very low V/S. Users not familiar with Airbus Managed Descent should use OP DES instead as it provides
+ a linear descent most users would expect.
+
+ See the [Vertical Guidance Guide](../../a32nx/a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/vertical-guidance/overview.md)
+ for more information on using managed vertical modes.
+
+ When either of these altitude modes are engaged, the relevant mode will appear in the Second Column of the `FMA`,
+ and will be displayed in green.
+ (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. We should then only descent to the constraint's altitude. We repeat the process until we have reached our
+ desired final approach altitude.
+

+ Some airline's SOPs (standard operating procedures) might have a different order for the following steps.
+
+### At 20,000 feet

+ The Weather Radar is currently not available in the A380X. It is planned to be implemented in the future if and when
+ the simulator provides the required weather data.
+
+### At 10,000 feet
+
+??? tip "What and Why?"
+ As we reach the 10,000 foot mark in our descent, we have to take a few more steps to prepare the aircraft to land.
+ We make sure the seatbelt sign is on so passengers are secure and not moving around during descent. We also make sure
+ the landing lights are on so we are visible to other aircraft on approach.
+
+ The `LS` buttons are turned on so we have the landing system active for when we intercept the ILS.

+ * [EFIS Panel](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/glareshield/efis)
+
+`APPROACH CHECKLIST .............................................. COMPLETE`
+??? note "Approach Checklist"
+ The Airbus A380 has a built-in checklist system that can be accessed via the
+ [Engine Warning Display (EWD)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/main-panel/ewd).
+
+ To activate it you need to press the `C/L` button on the
+ [ECAM Control Panel (ECP)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/ecam).
+
+ You can navigate through the checklist by using the `UP` and `DOWN` buttons on the ECP. You can check/uncheck items
+ by pressing the buttons with the check mark on the ECP.
+
+ Some items are autosensed by the aircraft and will be checked automatically (e.g. Beacon).
+
+ ![Approach Checklist](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/checklist-approach.png){loading=lazy}
+
+??? tip "Cabin Crew in real life"
+ In real life, the cabin crew will be asked to prepare the cabin for landing at some point during the descent. The
+ exact moment and process might differ between airlines, but most seem to do this when the Seatbelt Signs are turned
+ on (typically at the latest at 10,000ft).
+
+ The Cabin Crew will notify the pilots either by a "Cabin Ready" button (A380) or by a call to the cockpit once
+ they are ready and strapped in themselves. Typically, we will be in final approach by that time.
+
+This concludes *Starting the Descent*.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Flying the STAR and Approach
+
+**Situation:**
+
+- Aircraft is in `DES` phase.
+- Descent has started (we are after TOD).
+- We have not yet reached the first waypoint of the STAR.
+- `FMS PERF APPR` page is filled - see [Arrival Planning](#arrival-planning)).
+
+Flying the STAR and Approach is very similar to any other part of the route within the flight plan. Apart from
+descending and adhering to constraints, the lateral flight path just follows the programmed route.
+
+Let the __Autopilot__ do this for you, and just adjust altitude and speed according to the charts or ATC instructions.
+
+??? tip "ATC Instructions During STAR and Approach"
+ At some point during the descent and when close enough to the airport, we will be instructed by ATC to contact ATC
+ Approach for the airport we are flying into.
+
+ Be prepared for ATC instructions to deviate from the STAR or Approach route to separate from other aircraft
+ or to shortcut the approach when there is little traffic. ATC will then typically give you new heading instructions
+ (heading vectors) and will guide you the rest of the STAR and Approach with additional heading instructions until
+ intercepting the ILS localizer.
+
+ **Example for shortcuts:**
+
+ DEBHI1D STAR EDDF (Frankfurt) 07C - it is only in times with a lot of traffic that we would have to fly the whole
+ downwind part of this transition.
+
+ ![STAR: EDDF DEBHI![img.png](img.png) 1C](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/eddf-star-debhi1c-manual.png){loading=lazy}
+ *Copyright © 2024 Navigraph / Jeppesen
+ "Navigraph Charts are intended for flight simulation use only, not for navigational use."*
+
+ Note: If you do fly without Online ATC use DIR TO to the IAF waypoint DF554 after DF644 to start the final approach and
+ intercept the ILS localizer.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Intercepting ILS
+
+**Situation:**
+
+- Aircraft is in `DES` phase.
+- Aircraft is set up for flight <10,000ft (`seat belt signs` on, `landing lights` on, etc.).
+- We are either within the IAP (Instrument Approach) and at the correct altitude and speed or at a heading vector,
+ altitude, and speed instructed by ATC.
+
+??? tip "Reaching the beginning of the ILS Approach"
+ At the start of the Instrument Approach (or by ATC vectoring) we will be on a path to the Final Approach Fix and/or
+ intercepting the ILS localizer and eventually the ILS glideslope.
+
+ To intercept the ILS, we need to be at the correct altitude and should not have an approach angle larger than 30°.
+ The `LS` button should also be `ON`on both the captain and first officer's sides of the FCU.
+
+ ![img_1.png](../assets/beginner-guide/06_descent/eddf-07CILS-30degree.png)

+ *Copyright © 2024 Navigraph / Jeppesen
+ "Navigraph Charts are intended for flight simulation use only, not for navigational use."*
+
+`APPROACH PHASE ............................................ CHECK/ACTIVATE`
+??? note "Approach Phase"
+ The FMS approach phase activates:
+
+ - Manually, when the flight crew clicks on the ACTIVATE APPR on the FMS PERF page, or
+ - Automatically, when NAV is engaged, and the aircraft flies the DECEL pseudo waypoint.
+
+`MANAGED SPEED ...................................................... CHECK`
+??? note "Managed Speed"
+ It is recommended to regularly verify the managed speed and to monitor the target speed.
+
+ When in NAV, LOC*, or LOC mode is engaged, the aircraft will automatically decelerate at the DECEL waypoint.
+
+`SPEEDBRAKES .................................................. AS REQUIRED`

+
+### After ATC Clearance
+Once ATC has cleared us for the approach, we will fo the following:
+
+`ATC CLEARANCE FOR APPROACH ...................................... OBTAINED`
+??? 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. The `lateral ILS
+ localizer scale` shows the `deviation marker` moving towards the middle of the `lateral deviation scale`. Also, the
+ lateral `FMA` shows `LOC` in blue (armed).
+
+ ![Activate APPR mode on FCU](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/fcu-appr-mode.png
+ "Activate APPR mode on FCU"){loading=lazy}
+
+ ![PFD FMA APPR](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/pfd-fma-appr.png){loading=lazy}
+
+!!! warning "Arming APPR"
+ Using `APPR` also arms the glideslope descent (G/S) and the aircraft will descend as soon as it captures the ILS
+ glideslope signal.
+
+ Do not descend without ATC clearance and only when directly on the ILS localizer path as only as obstacle clearance
+ is guaranteed.
+
+ To help with this you can use the `LOC` button first (only localizer capture) and when cleared for approach press
+ `APPR`
+`AUTOPILOT 1+2.......................................................... ON`
+??? note "Autopilot 1+2"
+ Turn on `AUTOPILOT 1+2` to have same additional redundancy in case of a failure.
+`FLIGHT MODE ANNUNCIATOR (FMA) ...................................... CHECK`
+??? tip "FMA"
+ The pilot can verify on the flight mode annunciator the approach capability (CAT2, CAT3 SINGLE, CAT3 DUAL, or
+ AUTOLAND) for the selected approach.
+
+ Also the `lateral FMA` should show `LOC` in blue (armed) or green (active) and the `vertical FMA` should show `G/S`
+ in blue (armed) or green (active).
+`FLAPS 1 (at V~FE~ -15)................................................ 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 .......................................................... TA/RA`
+`LOC CAPTURE ...................................................... MONITOR`
+??? note "Capturing the Localizer"
+ It is recommended to pay close attention to the LOC beam capture. Verify that during the capture phase, the LOC
+ deviation is within the LOC scale. The deviation should be displayed on the primary flight display and on the
+ navigation display.
+
+ The aircraft will turn towards the localizer and the deviation marker will move towards the center of the lateral
+ deviation scale. The lateral `FMA` will show `LOC` in green when the localizer is captured.
+
+ ![Established on ILS localizer](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/pfd-loc-active.png
+ "Established on ILS localizer"){loading=lazy}
+`ATC CONTACT ........................................................ TOWER`
+??? note "Contact Tower"
+ When we are established on the ILS localizer (the lateral `FMA` shows `LOC` in green) we will contact Tower ATC and
+ report that we are established on the ILS localizer (including call sign and runway).
+
+ Tower ATC will then give us clearance for the ILS approach to the target runway. This clears us to descend on the
+ ILS glideslope.
+
+ **Do not descent without explicit clearance from ATC.**
+
+This concludes *Intercepting the ILS Localizer*

+
+After ATC has given us clearance for the ILS approach, we can also start descending using the ILS glideslope.
+
+### ILS Glideslope
+Check that the `APPR` button is activated on the `FCU` to arm the ILS glideslope descent mode.
+
+The vertical `FMA` now shows `G/S` (glideslope) in blue.
+
+`G/S CAPTURE ...................................................... MONITOR`
+??? note "Capturing the Glideslope"
+ The aircraft will start descending when the deviation marker is in the middle (we have captured the ILS glideslope).
+ The vertical `FMA` will now display `G/S` in green.
+
+ ![PFD when G/S is activated](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/pfd-gs-capture.png
+ "PFD when G/S is activated" ){loading=lazy}
+
+ We are now descending along the glideslope. The radio altimeter comes alive at 2,500ft above the ground to display
+ the actual precise height above ground.
+
+??? tip "ATC instructed approach speed"
+ The A380 `Autothrust` will manage speed during approach automatically and will reduce speed further with each flap
+ setting. 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`
+??? note "Go Around Altitude"
+ Set the `Go Around Altitude` in the `FCU` to the altitude where we would go around if we don't see the runway or
+ are not stable for landing. This is usually the `Missed Approach Altitude` from the approach chart.
+
+`FLAPS 2 (~2.500ft and below V~FE~).................................... SET`
+??? Note "Flaps 2"
+ Verify that the aircraft is decelerating toward the F speed. If the aircraft interception of the ILS/GLS glideslope
+ is below 2 000 feet above ground level, It is recommended setting flaps 2 at one dot below the glideslope. If
+ the aircraft is above the glideslope, or the aircraft does not decelerate, it is recommended to extend the landing
+ gear. It is not recommended to use the speed brakes due to limited effect at low speed.
+
+This concludes *Intercepting the ILS Glideslope*
+

+
+## 3. Preparation and Checklist for Landing
+
+**Situation:**
+
+Verify these items:
+
+`ILS LOCALIZER & GLIDESLOPE.................................... ESTABLISHED`
+`FLAPS 2 .............................................................. SET`
+
+### 2000 feet and below
+
+`LANDING GEAR ........................................................ DOWN`
+`AUTOBRAKE ........................................................ CONFIRM`
+`GROUND SPOILERS ...................................................... ARM`
+`EXTERIOR LIGHTS ...................................................... SET`
+
+`FLAPS 3 (after L/G down and below V~FE~).............................. SET`
+`WHEEL SYSTEM DISPLAY PAGE .......................................... CHECK`
+??? note "SD WHEEL Page"
+ Verify the wheel system display page appears below 800 feet above ground level or at the extension of the landing
+ gear. It is recommended to verify the five landing gear green indication, as well as at least one green triangle on
+ each landing gear. This indicates the landing gear strut is locked at the down position.
+
+`FLAPS (below V~FE~).................................................. FULL`
+`AUTOTHRUST .................................... CHECK IN SPEED MODE OR OFF`
+
+??? tip "Ready at <=1000 feet"
+ **We need to be fully set up and stable at 1,000ft above the ground.**
+
+ What does that mean? Flaps fully extended, Autothrottle in speed mode or off completely, and the landing checklist
+ is complete.
+
+ PFD at ~1000ft above the ground:
+ ![img_1.png](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/pfd-at1000.png){loading=lazy}

+
+`LANDING MEMO ................................................ NO BLUE LINE`
+`CABIN .............................................................. READY`
+
+`LANDING CHECKLIST ............................................... COMPLETE`
+??? note "Landing Checklist"
+ The Airbus A380 has a built-in checklist system that can be accessed via the
+ [Engine Warning Display (EWD)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/main-panel/ewd).
+
+ To activate it you need to press the `C/L` button on the
+ [ECAM Control Panel (ECP)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/ecam).
+
+ You can navigate through the checklist by using the `UP` and `DOWN` buttons on the ECP. You can check/uncheck items
+ by pressing the buttons with the check mark on the ECP.
+
+ Some items are autosensed by the aircraft and will be checked automatically.
+
+ ![Checklist Landing](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/checklist-landing.png){loading=lazy}
+
+!!! warning "Thrust levers during landing"
+ For the landing, we have our hand on the thrust levers for a potential go-around, so we can quickly push the levers
+ forward into `TO GA`.
+
+ **We do not move the levers until the last seconds before landing.**
+
+This concludes *Preparation and Checklist for Landing*
+
+---
+
+## 4. Landing
+
+**Situation:**
+
+- Aircraft is fully set up for landing as per previous chapters.
+- Configuration is `FLAPS FULL`.
+- Aircraft is at about 1000ft above the ground.
+- Wind is calm (no crosswind for this beginner guide).
+
+Verify these items:
+
+`LANDING GEAR ........................................................ DOWN`
+`NOSE LIGHT ........................................................... T.O`
+`RWY TURN OFF LIGHT .................................................... ON`
+`AUTOBRAKE ........................................................ CONFIRM`
+`GROUND SPOILERS ...................................................... ARM`
+`EXTERIOR LIGHTS ...................................................... SET`
+`FLAPS ............................................................... FULL`
+`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 don't need a lot of
+ input to the sidestick to correct.
+
+??? tip "Touchdown zone and center line"
+ We aim for the middle of the touchdown zone, which is marked by the touchdown zone markers.
+
+ ![Runway touchdown zone](../../a32nx/assets/beginner-guide/landing/Runway-touchdown-zone.png "Runway touchdown zone"){loading=lazy}
+
+ Also, we try to aim for the center line of the runway in a way that it points directly under us.
+
+ Correct your final heading and bank very carefully. 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.
+
+??? 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`
+??? note "Auto Brake"
+ The `Autobrakes` should now have activated and started to further decelerate the aircraft. This can be checked by
+ the `Autobrake` annunciators.
+
+ If you have configured BTV (Brake to Vacate) the FMA should now show `BTV` in green.
+
+`REVERSE LEVERS (at <80knots) ........................................ IDLE`
+
+This concludes *Landing*
+
+---
+
+## 5. Vacate Runway
+
+**Situation:**
+
+- Aircraft has landed and is moving along the center line of the runway.
+- Speed is <40knots.
+
+### At Taxi Speed
+
+`REVERSE LEVERS ...................................................... STOW`
+`AUTOBRAKE ......................................................... DISARM`
+??? note "Auto Brake Disarm"
+ The autobrake can be disarmed at the pilot’s discretion. It is recommended to use one of the autothrottle
+ instinctive disconnect pushbuttons to disarm the autobrake. If BTV mode was used, the autobrake will disarm
+ automatically at 10 knots.
+
+### Vacate the runway
+We look for the next runway exit and slow down to about 10knots before we start turning off the runway.
+
+We continue rolling forward until we passed the runway entry marker with the **full length** of our aircraft.
+
+![Aircraft stopped after runway is vacated](../assets/beginner-guide/07_landing/runway-vacated.png
+"Aircraft stopped after runway is vacated"){loading=lazy}
+
+We can now safely stop the aircraft and do our "After Landing" checklist - see next chapter.
+
+If ATC did not already contact us on the ground, we would contact them now to let them know we have vacated the runway.
+
+They will give us taxi instructions, so we can continue taxiing to our gate once we have completed the after landing
+tasks.
+
+!!!info "After landing tasks in simulation"
+ In real life, the A380 will have two pilots which can actually do things in parallel, such as talking to ATC,
+ taxiing the aircraft and doing the after landing tasks. In the simulation we are typically alone, so it is perfectly
+ fine to stop once we have fully vacated the runway and do these things one after the other.
+
+This concludes *Vacate Runway*

+# After Landing and Taxi to Gate
+
+This guide will explain the correct procedures after we have landed and vacated the runway, and will also cover taxiing to the designated gate.
+
+!!! warning "Disclaimer"
+
+??? note "Radio Frequency"
+ ATC Tower will usually hand us off to ATC Ground, and they will give us taxi instructions for our destination gate.
+ Write them down and read them back as usual, but you don't have to move immediately unless ATC explicitly tells you
+ to. Online ATC controllers understand that the after-landing-tasks do take some time.
+
+ If you did not get any frequencies from ATC, you can use the airport charts to find the correct frequencies for EDDM.

+`GROUND SPOILERS ................................................... DISARM`
+`FLAPS ............................................................ RETRACT`
+`APU MASTER ............................................................ ON`
+`APU START ............................................................. ON`
+??? note "Starting the APU"
+ Once we are safely off the runway and on to our assigned taxiway, we need to start the APU. We are doing this to
+ ensure the aircraft will still have electrical power and air conditioning and circulation once we complete our
+ taxi to our assigned gate. Upon reaching the gate, our engines will need to be shut down, and we are still
+ going to need power for a little bit while we focus on shutting the airplane down.

+### Exterior Lights
+??? tip "What and Why"
+ The exterior lights are used to make the aircraft more visible to other traffic and ground personnel. The lights
+ are used to signal the aircraft's intentions and to make the aircraft more visible in low light conditions.
+
+`LANDING LIGHTS ....................................................... OFF`
+`STROBE .............................................................. AUTO`
+`OTHER EXTERIOR LIGHTS ........................................ AS REQUIRED`
+`NOSE ................................................................ TAXI`
+`RUNWAY TURN OFF LIGHTS & CAMERA............................... AS REQUIRED`
+
+### Prepare for Taxi
+
+??? tip "What and Why"
+ The aircraft needs to be prepared for taxiing to the gate. This includes setting up the aircraft systems for
+ taxiing and ensuring that the aircraft is ready to taxi to the gate.
+
+`AIRPORT NAVIGATION DISPLAY RANGE..................... ZOOM, AS APPROPRIATE`
+`EFIS TAXI..................................................... AS REQUIRED`
+`WEATHER RADAR ...................................................CHECK OFF`
+??? note "Weather Radar"
+ The A380X does not have a weather radar system implemented yet as the simulator does not allow access to the weather
+ data to implement a proper weather radar system. This is a feature planned for the future when the simulator
+ allows for it.
+`BRAKE TEMPERATURE ................................................ MONITOR`
+??? note "Brake Temperature"
+ You can monitor the brake temperature on the SD WHEEL page. Verify the temperatures for discrepancies and high
+ temperature (higher than 500°C).
+
+This concludes *After Landing*
+
+## 2. Taxi to Gate
+
+### Situation
+
+- Aircraft on taxiway directly after runway.
+- **After Landing** checklist is completed.
+- ATC Ground has given taxi instructions.
+
+### Taxiing
+
+Make sure to also read the Taxi section of the [Engine Start and Taxi](04_engine-start-taxi#taxi) chapter.
+Use your charts to follow the ATC taxi instructions to the designated gate.
+
+!!! warning "Only use taxiways approved for the A380"
+ The A380 is a large aircraft and not all taxiways are approved for the A380. Make sure to follow the taxi instructions
+ and only use taxiways that are approved for the A380.
+
+ A380 Airport Taxi Chart for EDDF:

+ *Copyright © 2024 Navigraph / Jeppesen
+ "Navigraph Charts are intended for flight simulation use only, not for navigational use."*
+
+??? tip "How to Cross a Runway"
+ When approaching a runway, always ensure you have ATC permission to cross it. Ask ATC for
+ permission to cross the runway and read back the instructions. Always ensure maximum safety
+ when crossing.
+ When approved to cross a runway (active or not) perform the following actions:
+ - Look out the windows and visually ensure that there are no visible aircraft to your left and right.
+ - Turn on extra lights to ensure your aircraft is visible when crossing:
+ - Strobe lights - `Set to ON`
+ - Inform ATC you have vacated the runway if required.
+
+ !!! warning
+ NEVER cross a runway without express permission from ATC and providing a read back of said
+ instructions. Always ensure maximum safety when crossing.
+
+ `ATC CLEARANCE .................................................. OBTAIN`
+ `LANDING LIGHTS ..................................................... On`
+ `STROBE LIGHTS ...................................................... ON`
+
+ After you have crossed the runway and are on the adjacent taxiway, turn the strobe lights back
+ off, and notify ATC you are clear of that runway.
+
+ `STROBE LIGHTS ..................................................... OFF`
+ `LANDING LIGHTS .................................................... OFF`
+
+### Turning into the Gate
+`NOSE LIGHTS .................................................. AS REQUIRED`
+`RWY TURN OFF LIGHTS ...........................................AS REQUIRED`
+??? tip "Turning into the Gate"
+ When turning into the gate, turn off your `NOSE` light and your `RWY TURN OFF` lights to not
+ blind the ground personnel. This of course is only done if enough lighting is available to safely
+ navigate and park into the gate.

+??? note "Parking Checklist"
+ The Airbus A380 has a built-in checklist system that can be accessed via the
+ [Engine Warning Display (EWD)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/main-panel/ewd).
+
+ To activate it you need to press the `C/L` button on the
+ [ECAM Control Panel (ECP)](../../a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/ecam).
+
+ You can navigate through the checklist by using the `UP` and `DOWN` buttons on the ECP. You can check/uncheck items
+ by pressing the buttons with the check mark on the ECP.
+
+ Some items are autosensed by the aircraft and will be checked automatically.
+
+ ![Checklist Parking](../assets/beginner-guide/09-powering-down/checklist-parking.png){loading=lazy}
+
+This concludes *Parking at the Gate*.
+
+## 2. 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. Securing the Aircraft
+
+**Situation**
+
+- **Parking** checklist is completed.
+- Aircraft is empty (no passengers or cargo).
+- Cabin is cleaned and ready for shutdown.
+
+??? tip "What and Why?"
+ In the event that there is no other crew that will use this aircraft for a flight immediately following ours, we are
+ going to secure the aircraft. Doing this will put the aircraft into a `Cold and Dark` state, meaning whoever flies the
+ aircraft next will have to do a complete power up. To do this, we will need to shut off all lighting, power and fuel
+ pumps. We are essentially doing the opposite of what we did when we powered the plane up from a `Cold and Dark` state.

+title: A380X Beginner Guide - Overview
+description: The A380X Beginner Guide teaches users how to operate and fly the FlyByWire A380X aircraft.
+---
+
+
+
+# Overview
+
+Welcome to the A380X Beginner's Guide. Although this guide is tailored towards beginners, each topic below may even
+serve as reminders of proper procedure at different stages of flight for veteran sim pilots.
+
+Each page was reviewed by an A380 type rated pilot and provides accurate information to aircraft operation.
+
+!!! warning "Disclaimer"
+
+ 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. It is planned
+to provide a dedicated advanced guide on the Auto Flight System (AFS) in the future.
+
+## Usage
+
+### SPD/MACH pb
+
+If the speed (Mach) target is selected pressing the SPD/MACH pb changes the speed target to the corresponding Mach
+target, and vice versa.
+
+### SPD/MACH Display

+- Shows `SPD` and the selected speed in selected target mode.
+- Shows `MACH` and the selected mach speed in selected target mode.
+- Shows `SPD` and `---` in managed target mode.
+- Shows `MACH` and `---` in managed target mode.
+
+Note: At the speed/Mach crossover altitude, the managed speed target automatically changes to a managed Mach target. The
+display on the SPD/MACH window changes from SPD to MACH (and vice versa in descent).
+
+### SPD/MACH Knob
+
+- When turned, preselects a speed or Mach target
+- Note:
+ - When the SPD/MACH window is dashed, and if the flight crew begins to turn the knob without pulling it, the window
+ displays:
+ - The current aircraft speed, if SRS TO, or SRS GA is on, or
+ - The managed speed/Mach target, in all other cases.
+ - Then, turning the knob would change the value. If there is no action on the knob for 45 s, the dashes reappear.
+- When pulled, activates the selected speed or Mach target
+- When pushed, the speed or Mach becomes managed.
+
+One entire rotation of the knob equals 32 kt (1 kt per click), or 0.32 Mach (0.01 Mach per click).
+
+The selection has a range of:
+
+- 100 kt to 399 kt for the speed
+- M 0.01 to M 0.99 for the Mach.
+
+### TRUE/MAG pb
+
+When pressed, changes the TRUE North reference to Magnetic (MAG) North reference, and vice versa.
+
+The North reference is magnetic, unless the aircraft is in the polar zone.
+
+When the aircraft reaches the polar zone:
+
+- The North reference automatically changes from MAG to TRUE in the ADIRSs
+- The following messages ask the flight crew to change from MAG to TRUE North reference:
+ - The SELECT TRUE NORTH REF memo shows up on the ND
+ - The NAV EXTREME LATITUDE triggers.
+
+### HDG/TRK pb
+
+When pressed, selects either:

+TRUE/MAG pb.
+
+### HDG/TRK Knob
+
+- When turned, preselects a heading or track target
+- Note: When the HDG/TRK window is dashed, and if the flight crew begins to turn the knob without pulling it, the window
+ shows the current aircraft heading/track. Then, turning the knob would change the value. If there is no action on the
+ knob for 45 s, the dashes reappear. However, if a HDG/TRK preset is set, the value stays permanently.
+- When pulled, activates the selected heading or track target
+- When pushed, a managed lateral mode arms or works.
+
+One entire rotation of the knob equals 32 ° (1 ° per click).
+
+The selection has a range of 0° to 359°.

+
+When turned, sets the target altitude on the AFS CP.
+
+The outer knob has two positions: 100 and 1000, to set the target altitude in increments of 100 ft or 1 000 ft.
+
+- When pulled, activates the selected target altitude on the AFS CP. The FMS vertical profile is ignored.
+- When pushed, the altitude target becomes managed. The FMS vertical profile is followed, or the AFS CP target altitude
+ is followed, if applicable.
+
+### ALT pb
+
+When pressed, the aircraft immediately starts to level-off.
+
+Note: The ALT pb also lights up, when the aircraft keeps a selected or managed altitude.
+
+### V/S / FPA Display
+
+- Shows `V/S` and the selected vertical speed in selected target mode
+- Shows `FPA` and the selected flight path angle in selected target mode
+- Shows `V/S` and `---` in managed target mode
+- Shows `FPA` and `---` in managed target mode
+
+### V/S / FPA Knob
+
+When turned, preselects a vertical speed or flight path angle target
+
+Note: When the V/S / FPA window is dashed, and if the flight crew turns the knob without pulling it, the window shows
+the current V/S / FPA aircraft. Then, turning the knob would change the value. If there is no action for 45 s, the
+dashes reappear.
+
+- When pulled, activates the selected vertical speed or flight path angle target.
+- When pushed: There is no effect.
+
+One entire rotation equals 1 600 ft/min in vertical speed (100 ft/min per 2 clicks), or 3.2 ° in flight path
+angle (0.1 ° per click).
+
+The selection has a range of:
+
+- –6 000 ft/min to +6 000 ft/min for the vertical speed
+- –9.9 ° to + 9.9 ° for the flight path angle.

+
+## Description
+
+The Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) lets you control what flight info shows up on the Primary Flight Displays
+(PFDs) and the Navigation Displays (NDs).
+
+The EFIS Control Panel helps the flight crew pick and set up the info they want to see on the PFDs and NDs.
+
+## Usage
+
+### TAXI pb
+
+Press this to turn the ETACS (Enhanced Taxi Aid and Crew Awareness System) video on or off on the PFD.
+
+!!! warning "ETACS"
+ The ETACS system isn't simulated in the A380X because of simulator limitations.
+
+### ND Data Display pushbuttons
+
+These buttons let the flight crew choose what info to show on the NDs.
+
+| Button | Function |
+|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| CSTR pb | Toggles showing flight plan constraints on the ND. |
+| WPT pb | Toggles showing waypoints on the ND. |
+| VORD pb | Toggles showing VOR/DME stations on the ND. |
+| NDB pb | Toggles showing NDB stations on the ND. |
+| ARPT pb | Toggles showing airports on the ND. |
+| VOR1 pb | Toggles showing the selected VOR1 information on the ND. |
+| WX pb | Toggles showing weather radar information on the ND. (INOP) |
+| TERR pb | Toggles showing terrain information on the ND. |
+| TRAF pb | Toggles showing traffic information on the ND. |
+| VOR2 pb | Toggles showing the selected VOR2 information on the ND. |
+
+### Barometric Reference Window
+
+- If `QNH` is in the upper left corner:
+ - The barometric reference is set to the number shown.
+ - The QNH range is from 745 hPa (22.00 inHg) to 1 100 hPa (32.48 inHg).
+- If `QNH` isn't in the upper left corner and `STD` is shown:
+ - The barometric reference is STD.
+ - Turning the inner knob presets a QNH (upper right corner) and sets it when the knob is pushed.
+
+### Barometric Reference Controls
+The barometric reference controls have an outer selector and an inner knob.
+
+The flight crew uses the selector to pick the barometric unit (hectoPascal or mercury inches) for the values shown in
+the barometric reference window.
+
+Note: The PFDs don't show the selected barometric unit.
+
+The flight crew uses the knob to set the barometric reference value. When the EFIS CP powers up, the barometric
+reference value starts at 1 013 hPa or 29.92 inHg, depending on the selected unit.
+
+When the flight crew:
+
+- **pushes** the knob, the barometric reference is set to STD.
+ They can turn the knob to preset a QNH value. When they switch back to the QNH barometric reference, it automatically
+ shows this preset value.
+- **pulls** the knob, the barometric reference is set to QNH, and the preset value is selected.
+ Note: The selected value appears in the barometric reference window and under the altitude scale on the PFD.
+
+### LS pb
+
+The Captain's (First Officer's) PFD shows landing system data based on the approach selected on the FMS ARRIVAL page:
+Deviation scales, deviation signals, course pointer, and info.
+
+Note:
+
+1. If the destination airport is more than 300 NM away, only the deviation scales appear.
+2. The LS light automatically comes on when LOC, LOC B/C, or F-LOC arms.
+
+The Captain's (First Officer's) PFD doesn't show the landing system data.
+
+### VV pb
+
+Press this to show or hide the Velocity Vector (VV) on the PFD.
+
+### ND Mode Selector
+
+This selector lets the flight crew pick the ND mode they want.
+
+The flight crew can choose from these modes:
+
+- PLAN mode:
+ - Shows the flight plan on a map with North/South and West/East references.
+ - Lets the flight crew scroll through and display the entire flight plan.
+- ARC mode:
+ - Shows a 100° sector in front of the aircraft.
+- ROSE-NAV mode:
+ - Shows the same info as ARC mode but in a 360° sector.
+ - Displays the ROSE-NAV in relation to the aircraft heading.
+ - Defaults to ROSE-NAV mode with an 80 NM range if the ND mode or range isn't valid.
+- ROSE-VOR mode:
+ - Shows the aircraft's position relative to the tuned VOR.
+ - Displays the ROSE-VOR in relation to the aircraft heading.
+- ROSE-LS mode:
+ - Shows the aircraft's position relative to the LOC, F-LOC, G/S, and F-G/S indications.
+ - Displays the ROSE-LS in relation to the aircraft heading.
+
+### ND Range Selector
+
+The flight crew sets the range for the ND (Navigation Display) and the VD (Vertical Display) in nautical miles.
+
+When set to ZOOM, the ND shows the moving airport map.
+
+Note: The VD range is limited to 160 NM.
+
+If set to ZOOM, the VD display isn't available.
+
+If the flight crew changes ND mode from ARC to one of the ROSE or PLAN modes, the ND range automatically increases to
+the next value to keep the same distance in front of the aircraft mock-up.
+
+If the flight crew changes ND mode to ARC mode, the ND range automatically decreases to the previous value.

+
+## Usage
+
+### CHRONO pb
+
+- When pressed one time, the ND displays and starts the chronometer.
+- When pressed two times, the ND freezes the time that appears on the ND.
+- When pressed three times, the ND resets the chronometer, and the ND no longer displays the time.
+
+### SIDESTICK PRIORITY pb
+
+- Red arrow light:
+ - Illuminates in front of the pilot who is losing authority.
+ - Light extinguishes if the pilot has recovered authority.
+ - If the pilot either:
+ - Releases his TAKEOVER pb before the priority condition is set
+ - Used the TAKEOVER pb to cancel a set priority situation.
+ **Sidestick priority audio**: The audio voice message "PRIORITY LEFT" or "PRIORITY RIGHT" is played each
+ time priority is taken.
+
+- Green CAPT and F/O lights:
+ - Both lights will flash if the pilots are attempting to move both sidesticks at the same time and neither pilot
+ takes priority.
+ - If a pilot who has taken priority by using the TAKEOVER pb and the other pilot's sidestick is in motion or not
+ neutral, the light of the pilot who has taken priority illuminates. It will extinguish when the opposing sidestick
+ returns to the neutral position.
+
+### Attention Getters
+
+There are two attention-getters on the glareshield of each flight crew member\`s station:
+
+One MASTER WARN light, and one MASTER CAUT light,
+depending on the severity of the failure. These attention-getters inform the flight crew of an alert.
+
+When pressed, the lights go off and the associated aural warnings stop.
+
+MASTER WARN flashes in the case of emergency situations (e.g. emergency procedure
+displayed on the EWD).
+
+MASTER CAUT lights up in the case of abnormal situations (e.g. abnormal procedure
+displayed on the EWD).
+
+Note: In the case of multiple failures, both MASTER WARN lights and
+MASTER CAUT lights may come on at the same time.
+
+### AUTOLAND WARNING LIGHT
+
+The events below trigger a flashing AUTOLAND red warning accompanied by a triple click audio warning when the aircraft
+is below 200 ft RA and the aircraft is in LAND mode:
+
+- AP1 and AP2 OFF below 200 ft RA.
+- LOC deviation (1/4 dot above 15 ft RA) or GLIDE deviation (1 dot above 100 ft RA). Both LOC and GLIDE scales will
+ flash on the PFD.
+- LOC signal lost above 15 ft or loss of GLIDE signal when above 100 ft. The flight director bars flash on the PFD and
+ LAND mode remains engaged.
+- Difference of radio altimeter indications is more than 15 ft.
+
+### ATC MSG
+
+If flashing: A message from the ATC has been received.
+
+Associated with a RING aural alert that sounds:
+
+- 10 s after the reception of a normal message
+- Immediately after the reception of an urgent message.
+ When the flight crew presses one of the two pushbuttons, the ATC MSG lights go off and the aural alert is canceled.
+ The RING aural alert also stops if the flight crew reads the message.
+
+The ATC MSG pb lighting and the aural alert are inhibited during takeoff and landing.

+
+## Usage
+
+### L/G GRVTY sw
+
+The L/G GRVTY panel has two switches that are linked together for simultaneous operation, and protected by a cover.
+However, if the link is removed, the switches can be used separately, for maintenance purposes only.
+Each switch controls one FFCM.
+
+- OFF POSITION:
+ - When the L/G GRVTY sw is in the OFF position (normal position), the landing gear lever can be used for the normal
+ extension/retraction of the L/G.
+- DOWN POSITION:
+ - The extension of the landing gear by gravity is selected.
+ - The L/G GRVTY sw remains in the DOWN position until the flight crew selects another position.
+ - Note: Both switch-guards should be removed before the DOWN position is selected.
+- RESET POSITION:
+ - After a gravity landing gear extension, the RESET position is selected to restore the LGERS in the normal
+ configuration.
+ - When the L/G GRVTY sw is in the RESET position:
+ - The cut-out valves open
+ - The retraction actuators switch from the gravity mode to the normal mode.
+ - The L/G GRVTY sw should be back in the OFF position before the L/G lever can be used again to extend/retract
+ the L/G.
+
+ !!! warning ""
+ The L/G GRVTY sw can be reset either in flight or on ground.
+
+ However:
+
+ - A reset on ground of the L/G GRVTY sw must be performed only by maintenance as BLG doors will collide with
+ forward BLG wheels when closing (a specific prior maintenance action is needed before reset)
+ - A reset in flight must be restricted to training in absence of any gear system failure.

+
+
+## Description
+
+The Navigation Display (ND) provides the flight crew with mid-term information of the status of the
+lateral navigation of the aircraft, according to:
+
+- The flight plan
+- The navigation database data (waypoints, NAVAIDS, airports).
+
+The flight crew can change some items of the flight plan directly from the ND. For more information,
+
+The ND also displays:
+
+- The weather radar, the terrain, or information about traffic collision avoidance
+- The airport navigation function. For more information, Refer to Airport Navigation.
+
+For navigation, the flight crew can select one of the following ND modes:
+
+- ARC
+- PLAN
+- ROSE-NAV
+- ROSE-VOR
+- ROSE-LS.
+
+In PLAN mode, it is not possible to display additional information about the weather radar, the terrain,
+or traffic collision avoidance.
+
+The lower part of the ND display unit also provides the Vertical Display (VD) information.
+
+The Vertical Display (VD) provides the flight crew with an overview of the vertical position of the
+aircraft. The VD is a secondary means of navigation, that helps increase the flight crew's awareness of
+the aircraft vertical location.
+
+The VD is only available in ARC and ROSE-NAV modes.
+
+When the flight crew sets the EFIS CP RANGE selector to ZOOM, the airport navigation function
+appears instead of the vertical display.
+
+The VD provides the current aircraft position, in relation to the:
+
+- Safety altitudes
+- Predicted trajectory
+- Weather information
+- Terrain information.
+
+The VD is below the Navigation Display (ND).
+
+Note: The VD update occurs after the computations of the FMS, and may last a few seconds longer than the ND update.
+
+!!! note ""
+ We will provide a detailed description of the ND in the future.

+
+## Overview
+
+![compass-eye-reference.png](../../../assets/a380x-briefing/flight-deck/compass-eye-reference.png)
+
+## Standby Compass
+
+At the top, the standby compass provides magnetic heading information, allowing the pilots to navigate the aircraft
+manually in case the main electronic navigation systems fail. It is a traditional, analog compass, a reliable fallback
+that isn’t dependent on the aircraft’s electrical systems.
+
+## Eye Reference Indicator
+
+Below the compass, there’s the eye reference indicator, commonly referred to as the "ball."
+In the Airbus A380, the eye reference indicator consists of two red balls and one white ball in the middle. The pilot
+adjusts their seat so the white ball is hidden behind a red ball from their viewpoint. When properly aligned, this
+ensures that the pilot's eyes are at the correct height and position for an optimal view of both the outside environment
+and the cockpit instruments. This is especially critical for accurate visual reference during critical flight phases
+like takeoff and landing.
+
+## Visual Ice Indicator
+
+There are two visual ice indicators outside the aircraft, between the two windshields. They provide
+the flight crew with a visual backup to the ice detection system.
+
+The visual ice indicators can be illuminated by the flight crew using the "ICE IND & STBY COMPASS" switch on the
+overhead panel to check for ice accumulation on the windshield.

+access to aircraft settings, flight plans, ground services, performance calculations, navigational charts, online ATC
+frequencies and more.
+
+[flyPadOS 3 Documentation](/aircraft/common/flypados3/)
+
+## 3. OIT Display
+
+The Onboard Information System (OIS) provides tools for the flight crew to operate the aircraft.
+The OIS includes aircraft technical information, operating manuals, performance computation tools and mission management
+information. The main goal of the electronic documentation is to provide the flight crew with attractive documentation,
+that enables easy access to the necessary information related to operational needs.
+It replaces all the previously used paper documentation and charts.
+
+The OIS applications can be divided into:
+
+- Tools for flight operations support
+- Tools for cabin operations support
+- Tools for maintenance operations support
+- Services to the passengers, flight crew and cabin crew.
+
+The applications are hosted on two sub-networks or domains of the Network Server System (NSS):
+
+- The avionics domain (NSS AVNCS)
+- The flight operations domain (FLT OPS)
+
+!!! note "OIT in the A380X"
+At the time of writing this document, the OIT is not yet implemented in the A380X.
+Many of its features can be found in the flyPad EFB next to it.
+
+## 4. Sidestick
+
+The sidesticks are the pilots' primary control for manual flight.
+
+They are spring-loaded and automatically return to the neutral position. They do not receive any feedback from the
+control surfaces, as Airbus uses the fly-by-wire system without force feedback.
+
+When the autopilot is engaged, the sidsticks are locked in neutral position.
+
+If the pilot applies a force above a given threshold:
+
+- The sidesticks unlock
+- The autopilot disengages
+- The AUTO FLT AP OFF alert triggers
+
+Each sidestick has two controls:
+
+- The Radio Push To Talk switch
+- The sidestick pb, for autopilot disengagement, or sidestick priority
+
+At all times, only one flight crew member should fly the aircraft. However, if both flight crew members use their
+sidesticks simultaneously, their orders are algebraically added. The flight control laws limit the combined order to the
+equivalent of the full deflection of one sidestick. In this case, the two green SIDE STICK PRIORITY lights on the
+glareshield come on and "DUAL INPUT" voice message is activated.
+
+The sidestick pushbutton is used as priority takeover pushbutton:
+
+- The pilot can deactivate the other sidestick and take full control by pressing and keeping pressed his sidestick
+ pushbutton.
+- If the sidestick pushbutton is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the priority is latched and the other sidestick is
+ maintained deactivated.
+- At any time, a deactivated sidestick can be reactivated by momentarily pressing the sidestick pushbutton.
+
+## 5. Steering Handwheels (Tiller)
+
+The steering handwheels, also called tillers, which are interconnected, can steer the nose wheel up to 70° in either
+direction.
+
+After takeoff, the steering system centers the nose wheel automatically.
+
+The center button on either handwheel removes control of nose-wheel steering from the rudder pedals until the button is
+released.
+
+[//]: # (TODO)
+
+ The surfaces are actuated by one of the two hydraulic systems, or by an independent hydraulic
+ source (EHA/EBHA).
+ Note: The slats also have an electrical motor.
+
+The flight crew uses sidesticks and rudder pedals to fly the aircraft. The flight control computers
+interpret the pilot's inputs, and order flight control surface movement, as necessary.
+Additionally, a pitch trim switch and a rudder trim selector (with a rudder trim reset p/b) allow to trim the
+airplane when needed.
+

+## Description
+
+The A380's fuel jettison system is designed to quickly reduce the aircraft's weight in emergency situations, allowing it
+to safely return to land. It enables the controlled discharge of fuel from specific tanks through nozzles located on the
+wings. This process helps achieve the aircraft's maximum landing weight when required, enhancing safety during emergency
+landings. The system is carefully monitored and controlled to ensure efficient and safe operation during use.

+
+## Description
+
+The cabin pressurization system controls the pressurization of the cabin to allow crew and passengers
+to fly comfortably without the use of oxygen masks and the negative impact of too low pressure at high altitude.
+
+In normal operation, the pressurization system does not require any action by the flight crew.
+Cabin air pressure is automatically regulated to provide maximum passenger comfort.
+
+The cabin pressure regulation is performed via the automatic control of the outflow valves during all
+flight phases, from takeoff to landing.
+
+During cruise, the cabin altitude is regulated not to exceed 7500 ft.
+
+If necessary, the flight crew can manually operate the cabin air pressurization system by selecting
+the cabin altitude target and/or the cabin vertical speed.
+
+The CABIN PRESS panel is only used when pressurization has to be controlled in manual mode
+or in the event of a ditching.
+
+## Usage
+
+### CABIN ALT MODE pb-sw
+
+- AUTO:
+ - Cabin altitude is automatically regulated.
+- MAN:
+ - Cabin altitude is manually controlled.
+ - The cabin altitude target must be manually selected via the CABIN ALT TRGT selector.
+ - The cabin altitude target remains steady at the current value until the flight
+ crew manually selects a new cabin altitude target.
+
+### CABIN ALT TRGT selector
+
+When the CABIN ALT MODE pb-sw is set to MAN, the flight crew uses the selector to manually select
+the cabin altitude target.
+
+The selected cabin altitude target is displayed on the CAB PRESS and on the CRUISE page of the SD.
+
+The cabin altitude selection has a range of –2000 ft to 15000 ft.
+
+### CABIN V/S MODE pb-sw
+
+- AUTO:
+ - Cabin vertical speed is automatically regulated according to the flight profile and the cabin
+ altitude target.
+- MAN:
+ - Cabin pressure vertical speed is manually controlled.
+ - The vertical speed must be manually selected via the CABIN V/S TRGT selector.
+
+### CABIN V/S TRGT selector
+
+When the CABIN V/S MODE pb-sw is set to MAN, the flight crew uses the selector to manually select
+the cabin pressure vertical speed.
+
+The selected cabin pressure vertical speed is displayed on the CAB PRESS and on the CRUISE page of the
+system display.
+
+The cabin vertical speed selection has a range of –1500 ft/min to +2500 ft/min.
+
+### DITCHING guarded
+
+- Normal:
+ - The system functions normally.
+- ON:
+ - To prepare for ditching, the flight crew sets the DITCHING pb-sw on the CAB PRESS control panel
+ to ON. This closes all the valves located below the flotation line.

+If the CDLS fails, the door unlocks but remains closed. The flight crew can lock the door by using the
+dead bolt.
+
+The flight crew uses the CKPT DOOR sw to either open the cockpit door, or to refuse access to the
+cockpit.
+
+At any time, the flight crew can use the door handle to manually open the cockpit door.
+
+## Usage
+
+- UNLOCK
+ - Unlocks the door, as long as the flight crew maintains the UNLOCK position.
+ - Note: When the flight crew releases the switch, it goes back to the NORM position.
+- NORM:
+ - The door is locked. If a crewmember enters a routine access code on the keypad, the door remains locked.
+ - Note: If a crewmember enters the emergency access code on the keypad, the door automatically unlocks for 5 s,
+ after a defined period of time.
+ - The Operator defines this period of time.
+- LOCK:
+ - Locks the door, and inhibits the keypad and the buzzer for a defined period of time.
+ - The Operator defines this period of time (between 5 min and 20 min).
+ - Note: When the flight crew releases the switch, it goes back to the NORM position.

+
+## Overview
+
+![Cockpit Lighting](../../../assets/a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/cockpit-lt-panel.png)
+
+The Cockpit Lighting Panel has knobs to control various cockpit lights.
+The knob settings range from "OFF" to "BRT" (Bright), allowing pilots to set the lighting levels to their
+preference and the needs of the flight environment.
+
+## INTEG LT (Integral Lighting):
+
+This knob adjusts the backlighting intensity of the integrated instruments on the main instrument panel. This
+illumination helps pilots find and read switches, knobs, buttons, etc. during low-light conditions, such as night flying
+or when flying through clouds.
+
+## MAIN PNL FLOOD LT (Main Panel Flood Light):
+
+This control adjusts the flood lighting for the main panel, which provides a wash of light over the entire instrument
+panel. This general lighting is useful when the pilots need to see the entire panel without the need for backlighting on
+individual instruments.
+
+## PEDESTAL FLOOD LT (Pedestal Flood Light):
+
+This knob controls the flood lighting over the pedestal area, where the throttle and other control systems like the
+radio and flight management systems are located. This light allows for better visibility of the pedestal controls,
+especially important during critical flight operations.
+
+## AMBIENT LT (Ambient Light):
+
+The ambient light control adjusts the cabin's general lighting, usually providing a soft, indirect light to help the
+pilots adjust their eyes between looking at brightly lit instruments and the darker outside conditions. This helps to
+reduce eye strain and maintain night vision.

+
+## Description
+
+The flight crew uses the ECAM Control Panel (ECP) to interface with the ECAM system. There is one
+ECP, and it is located on the central pedestal.
+
+The ECP provides keys that enables the flight crew to:
+
+- Navigate in a menu list, checklist, and/or procedure
+- Select an item in a menu list
+- Activate an item in a checklist and/or procedure
+- Activate the takeoff configuration test
+- Clear or cancel alerts
+- Access some system pages
+- Access normal checklists
+- Access not-sensed ABN PROC
+- Access STATUS page
+- Access STATUS MORE page
+- Access additional information system pages.
+ In addition, the ECP provides:
+- Rotary selectors to turn the EWD and SD on and off, and to adjust their brightness
+- Video display selection and control.
+
+!!! note ""
+ We will provide a detailed description of the SD in the future.
+
+## Usage
+
+### T.O CONFIG
+
+Simulates the application of takeoff power, by initiating a takeoff configuration
+test. A warning triggers, if any monitored system is not in the correct takeoff
+configuration.
+
+If the test is successful, the EWD displays a T.O CONFIG NORMAL message in
+the takeoff memo section.
+
+### C/L
+
+The EWD displays the normal checklist menu.
+
+### ✓
+
+When pressed, validates/devalidates the item that is surrounded by a blue box
+on the EWD.
+
+- Validates/devalidates a checklist item or procedure item, that is not detected
+ by the ECAM.
+- Selects one item of a checklist menu or procedure menu.
+
+### UP-ARROW
+
+The blue box moves up to the previous selectable item on the EWD screen.
+
+If pressed and held, the blue box moves up to the previous selectable item on the
+EWD screen, until released. The blue box cannot surround a grey line (except on
+the checklist menu).
+
+### DOWN-ARROW
+
+The blue box moves down to the next selectable item on the EWD screen.If
+pressed and held, the blue box moves down to the next selectable item on the
+EWD screen, until released.
+
+The blue box cannot surround a grey line (except on the checklist menu).
+
+### ABN PROC (INOP)
+
+The EWD displays the menu of not—sensed emergency or abnormal
+procedures. The ECAM cannot detect these procedures. Therefore, the flight
+crew manually requests their display, when necessary.
+
+### EMER CANC (INOP)
+
+The EMER CANC pb is a guarded pushbutton.
+
+- Cancels the audio indicator and turns off the MASTER WARN light
+ associated with an ECAM warning.
+ However, the associated procedure remains displayed on the EWD.
+ The audio indicator and MASTER WARN light are not canceled for the
+ remainder of the flight. If the ECAM warning is triggered a second time, the
+ audio indicator and MASTER WARN light appear again
+- Cancels the SC, the procedure on the EWD, and turns off the MASTER CAUT light, associated with an ECAM caution.
+ The ECAM caution is canceled for the remainder of the flight, even if the triggering conditions occur again
+- Cancels all the audio indicators and aural alerts. If the triggering conditions occur again, the audio indicators and
+ the aural alerts sound again
+- Deactivates any activated not-sensed procedure.
+- Note:
+ - All the alerts that are still active and canceled via the EMER CANC pb appear again on the EWD when the flight
+ crew presses the RCL pb on the ECP for more than three seconds.
+ - When pressed and if there is no alert that the flight crew can cancel, the EWD displays the EMERGENCY CANCEL ON
+ message.
+
+### System Pages Buttons

+
+## Description
+
+The Radio Management Panels (RMP) are powerful systems managing the aircraft's communication and std-by navigation
+systems.
+
+We are planning a separate more in-depth guide for the RMPs, but here is a brief overview:
+
+There are three Radio Management Panels (RMPs) in the cockpit. The flight crew uses these RMPs to control the
+communication system.
+
+On each RMP, the flight crew can:
+
+- Select the communication mean(s) in transmission and/or reception mode(s)
+- Tune HF and VHF frequencies
+- Dial SATCOM Telephone (TEL) numbers
+- Select voice or data mode
+- Monitor and change data mode parameters
+- Enter the Squawk (SQWK) code
+- Select Standby Radio Navigation (STBY RAD NAV) and tune the NAVAIDs (only via RMP 1 and RMP 2).
+- Adjust the volume for voice communication and for NAVAID identification.
+
+The RMPs share selections and inputs to enable the flight crew to control all radio communication via any RMP.
+
+The RMPs share mainly the following data:
+
+- Active and standby frequencies
+- SATCOM channels and their status (e.g. logged on/off, connected)
+- Active function displays (e.g. Amplitude Modulation (AM))
+ However, it is possible to display a different page on each RMP.
+
+In normal operation:
+
+- The Captain controls communication via RMP 1
+- The First Officer controls communication via RMP 2
+- The third and the fourth occupants control communication via RMP 3.
+- RMPs 1 and 2 are directly connected to the VHF and HF transceivers.
+- RMP 1 transmits all commands to VHF 1, VHF 3 and HF 1.
+- RMP 2 transmits all commands to VHF 2 and HF 2.
+- RMP 3 transmits commands to RMP 1 or RMP 2, via the appropriate control connection.
+- RMP 1 and/or RMP 2 then send these commands to the appropriate transceivers.
+- All three RMPs are directly connected to the SATCOM system.
+
+## Usage
+
+!!! warning "RMP in the A380X"
+ The RMPs are not yet fully implemented in the A380X.
+
+ They can be used for the pilot <-> ATC communication with VHF and squawk code entry.
+ Currently no other features are available.
+
+ The RMPs are planned to be fully implemented in the future.
+
+ Below we will only describe the features that are currently available in the A380X.
+
+!!! warning "VATSIM vPilot"
+ Unfortunately, the VATSIM vPilot plugin does not support a correct usage of the RMPs yet.
+
+ Current known limitations when using vPilot:
+
+ - vPilot doest not support 3 RMPs, only 2.
+ - vPilot does not support the volume contol of the RMP's reception knobs.

+
+[//]: # (TODO: This needs polishing)
+
+## Description
+
+The A380 has so called FADECs which stands for Full Authority Digital Engine Control and is responsible to ensure the
+engine to perform at maximum efficiency for the given condition.
+
+As one FADEC dedicated to each engine controls the engines' operation, the pilots or the FMGS can set the thrust. The
+pilot uses the thrust levers when in manual mode and the FMGS sets the thrust in automatic mode (A/THR aka Autothrust).
+
+The thrust levers in the A380 can only be moved manually and are not moved by an autothrottle system as it does in
+Boeing aircraft.
+
+The FADEC controls and limits thrust not to exceed the limit set via the thrust lever position in both manual and
+automatic modes.
+
+The FADEC receives the current thrust lever position and computes the thrust rating limit and the N1 for that Thrust
+Lever Angle (TLA).
+
+If the thrust lever is between two detents, the FADEC will select the rating limit of the higher detent.
+
+### Thrust Levers
+
+The thrust levers are used to manually adjust the engine thrust.
+
+Each thrust lever can be moved individually.
+
+The thrust lever position appears on the EWD via a blue circle on the thrust gauge.
+
+### Thrust Detents
+
+The flight crew can set each thrust lever in one of the following detents:
+
+- Idle (0) detent
+- Climb (CLB) detent
+- Flexible takeoff thrust (FLX) and Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT) detent
+- Takeoff and Go-Around (TOGA) detent.
+
+Each detent has one or several thrust rating limits.
+
+### Thrust Reverser 2(3) Lever
+
+The thrust reversers levers are used to control the deployment and the stowing of the reversers, and to
+adjust the reverse thrust.
+
+Each thrust reverser lever can be moved individually from IDLE REV detent to MAX REV detent, when
+the associated thrust lever is in the IDLE detent.
+
+The flight crew can monitor the position of the thrust reverser lever on the EWD, via the blue circle on
+the reverse thrust gauge.
+
+### Automatic Thrust Control
+
+In autothrust mode (A/THR function active), the FMGC computes the thrust. Thrust is limited by the thrust lever position
+(except when in alpha-floor mode).
+
+#### A/THR Instinctive Disconnect Push Button
+
+Each thrust lever has a so-called "A/THR Instinctive Disconnect" push button in red. Pressing it disconnects the A/THR.
+
+!!! warning ""
+ If the flight crew pushes and holds one instinctive disconnect pb for more than 15 s, the A/THR system
+ is disconnected for the remainder of the flight. All A/THR functions including ALPHA FLOOR are lost, and they can be
+ recovered only at the next FMGC power-up (on ground).
+
+### Manual Thrust Control
+
+When the auto-thrust (A/THR) mode is not armed or not active (levers in wrong position) the engines are in manual mode.
+
+The thrust lever position controls thrust for the corresponding engine in this case.
+
+By moving the thrust lever, the pilot can set the thrust level, which corresponds to a N1 between the IDLE and TOGA
+positions.
+
+FLX/MCT detent:
+
+- On the ground, the engine will produce the Maximum Continuous Thrust (MCT) if the crew did not set a valid FLEX take
+ off temperature. It needs to be higher than the current Total Air Temperature (TAT) to have any effect.
+- After takeoff with FLEX thrust, the pilot can, by moving the thrust lever to TOGA or CL, chose MCT thrust. It is not
+ possible to go back to FLEX thrust.
+
+!!! info ""
+ Note: Setting the thrust lever out of FLX/MCT detent without reaching TOGA or CL detent has no effect.
+
+MAX TO thrust can always be achieved by pushing the thrust lever all the way forward.
+
+!!! warning "FLEX TO thrust is not yet available on the A380."

+## Overview

+![Trim Panel](../../../assets/a380x-briefing/flight-deck/pedestal/trim-panel.png)
+
+## Pitch Trim
+
+This control is used to adjust the aircraft's nose attitude up or down. It changes the angle of the
+horizontal stabilizer on the tail to reduce control forces on the stick or yoke for the pilot. The actual adjustment is
+made by moving the switch up to trim the nose down or down to trim the nose up.
+
+On ground, or in direct law, the THS is directly controlled via the pitch trim switch.
+In flight, in normal and alternate law, the THS is controlled by the flight control computers.
+
+## Rudder Trim
+
+This is used to adjust the aircraft's yaw to keep it flying straight with minimal control input,
+especially useful when the aircraft experiences asymmetrical forces like engine failure or crosswinds. The rudder
+trim is controlled by moving the knob left to turn the nose left (L) or right to turn the nose right (R).
+
+## Rudder Trim Display
+
+This display shows the current rudder trim setting in degrees.
+
+## Reset Button
+
+Typically, this button is used to reset the rudder trim settings to a neutral position.
