- In this video I have tried to explain basic MCDU filling up comprehensively explaning on the same.
Note: There is some slight echo on the video due to the simulator itself. But I guess its manageable. - Věda a technologie
My fly-boy brother, in tears I gotta tell you, thank you, thank you very very Much, your videos are extremely helpful and they are honestly my golden tool at the moment in this process of getting A320 type rated, your videos definitely have helped me to better understand and have a bigger picture of how this bird works.
The manuals, FCOM and even the CBT’s can be exhausting and confusing to understand even more when you have only 45 days to get your training done. And here you come, a blessing in the Skies.
Brother, thank you again, may the skies be always clear to you.
I'm delighted to read this comment of yours! Thank you so much! Happy flying ahead!
Just love these videos :) Brilliant work, Capt. :)
Thanks
Doing my command type rating from the 10th of Nov, A320 as a first. Thank you for your hardwork and sharing that with the world.
Thanks ,that’s helpful , hope you put more explanation about how to set the secondary f-plan
I LOVE YOU MAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME WITH BECOMING A PILOT.
You're most welcome! :D
this video is so informative, thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing info

Thankyou Captain....👍👍👍👍👍
You're welcome!
Thank you
Thanks Man
You're welcome!
Hello captain thanks for your videos 😀 just want to clarify some things. 1.) When do we use MDA and when do we use DH in the approach mcdu? I noticed that you inserted ILS on arrival page and then put the minimums on MDA approach perf page. 2.) Is the extra time on init b page your extra time after proceeding the alternate or the extra time on the original destination? Thank you captain
1) MDA whenever you are planning for a manual landing, whenever you plan for an autoland then DH. In case of VOR approach enter MDA + 50 which is called DDA (derived decision altitude).
2) Extra time is the time we have to hold over original destination.
Planes Over Head thank you sir 😀
@@poh 😃 Good Explanation Captain. Clearly you look like an Instructor.
Is that FSLabs A320, may I know which FMGS revision is this? And thankyou for the explanation.
This is FSLabs only, I think it is 2016 revision.
What is the difference between baro meter knob which is on the FCU and Query Nautical height box which we I just saw on approach phrase
The one on the mcdu is for the computer calculations. The knob is to set the actual qnh. Both have to be same to keep calculations in check. However small error on the mcdu QNH will not make much of an impact on approach.
the v1,vr,v2 and also the trip wind are stated on the flight plan chart .?
V speeds you need to calculate..
Trip wind is on the flight plan..
What if in case i have to divert to a new destination due some emergency..should i go back to initial page to enter a new destination or DIR TO page
DIR TO is the fastest way to do that and then you can set your flight plan later on!
@@poh does heading change to nav automatically if i m not following the flight path ....wish u a happy diwali 😊
In Progress page Sir why did you enter the DPNR27 ( threshold) and why not DPN(VOR)
VOR maybe somewhere else on the airfield and in an emergency you want bearing to the runway threshold and not the VOR. However putting VOR is not wrong either. It's just airmanship awareness and upto the crew what they want to put.
@@poh Thank you Sir 🙂
Hi, Is there any app/ link for the MCDU? That can be installed on laptop/ phone. Thank you
You will have to google it!
Planes Over Head , To be honest I am not able to fond it. If you can suggest me anything for the same, it will be highly appreciate. Thanks
Looks like FSlabs 😊
It is indeed!
Could you please share the name of the app you are using the MCDU ? It will be very helpful . Thank you .
Its not an app, its my simulator
You can use A320CFDS
What is the name of the MCDU simulator?
Its P3D simulator
How did you find out HITAS7 goes to chennai?
I'm flying with an airline, flown that route many times.
@@poh i wanted to know the departure charts as I couldn't find it?
Sir, I have a doubt. Can I ask?
Yes please go ahead
Planes Over Head How can pilots calculate the descent?
A good thumb rule is first two digits of your altitude x 3 + 15 (25 if expecting strong tailwind throughout the descend).
Example: FL350
35 x 3 + 15 = 110 nm will be required to descend
Planes Over Head How about the altitude or the V/S to start your descent?
Managed descend plan 15 miles before TOD on ND
Selected descend start with V/S-1000 fpm then can go to thrust idle when FMA reads SPEED thrust mode.
But all this depends on lot of factors such as traffic, winds, ATC clearance etc
Thank you
