In this segment we will go over the initialization process for the A320 FMS. I know it goes pretty quickly, but I'll do my best to slow it down and explain everything as best as I can. If you have any questions about a specific page or function on the FMS, please leave a comment down below and I'll do my best to explain in to you. Thanks so much for watching.
*You're really sharp if you caught the discrepancy in the video! When the PERF uplink came in it had our original planned fuel load from dispatch which was 16.3 and automatically populated in the INIT B page block field. When it came time to send out the FUEL ON BOARD ACARS message to the load planners, the plane had already observed the current fuel on the plane as 26.7. Shortly after I finished recording we got a new release from dispatch with the new fuel load. They wanted us to tanker fuel on this leg. Hence the difference in the fuel numbers. So we had to go back and update the INIT B page to match and show 26.7 block fuel. Great catch if you saw this!*

great explanation! I'll put it to good use for my A320 sim training
Thank you so much for your video and the valuable opportunity to learn from a real pilot. You not only showed part of the standard procedure for preparing the aircraft, but also touched on interesting details that usually no one talks about. This allowed me to act more confidently in a virtual cockpit of the A320 simulator.
Hey no problem Maxim! Thanks so much for tuning in my friend!
Great videos. Thanks.
Great video for new pilots eager to see new ones like this thanks a lot
Thank you. Flight simmers use a pneumonic DIFSRIP Data, Init A, Flightplan,Secondary flightplan, Radnav, Init B, Performance
Great video. I would like to the difference between trans and via on the MCDU. Thanks
Hey thanks again for watching my friend! As far as the A320 FMS specifically the term VIA refers to an approach procedure. So for example, entering the ILS approach for a given runway you have options. You can put it in with no transition (straight in approach), or build it with an IAF Initial Approach Fix Via. So the ILS approach VIA XYZ Vor, ZZZZZ Fix, or ABC NDB perhaps.
You will also see the term TRANS when loading a SID or a STAR. Pretty simple, which "off shoot" do you want to enter off the main "body" of the departure/approach proceedure.
All of this not to be confused with the ATC clearance phrase, "Climb VIA/ Descend VIA" XYZ RNAV SID/STAR.
Does this all make sense Saurabh? Hope you are staying healthy my friend!
Mike
Appreciate for quick revert. So, just to clarify that Trans is only available in case we have a specific SID or a STAR?
Yes that is correct
Hello, thank you for the informative video. I was wondering when it says block fuel 16.3 that means 16,300 lbs of fuel or 32,600 lbs of fuel?
