A quick video demonstrating an approach in the Wilco A320. It's a bit rough but landing is probably the easiest thing about the A320. The main gotcha is not to enable APP mode until you are established on the localiser with LOC mode - unlike the real A320 the Wilco will think nothing of capturing the glideslope before the localiser and happily descend you into terrain... feel free to ask questions if anything is not clear from the vid. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

The second part of the A320 auto-pilot tutorial looks at how to control the auto-pilot in flight using the FCU, and at all the various guidance modes available.

A couple of comments were posted in response to my FMGC tutorials asking questions about the Airbus autopilot and since the airbus can autopilot can be confusing at first i thought a little tutorial would help. This first part covers the basic concepts of the Airbus Autopilot and a look at the Flight Mode Annunciator in action during a take-off. I've had a go at the youtube video annotations in this one to see if i can make things a little bit clearer.

The second part of my FMGC tutorial. Filmed this with a camcorder to make the voiceover easier but it got the shakes for a bit in this one... Youtube compression makes the text hard to read even on high quality so i suggest you follow along in flight sim.

The final part of my FMGC tutorial. If you like these let me know and i will do some more in flight ones covering some of the more advanced features (in flight amendments, holds, ILS approach etc)

This is the first part of a basic tutorial for the wilco pilot in command airbus A320. Constructive criticism welcomed. Apologies to non-native english speakers for my poor voiceover but it was the only way to communicate all the information easily - subtitles would have been horrific. Part two covering PERF pages and F-PLAN coming up asap. update: unfortunately the youtube compression has made the text difficult to read - suggest you watch the high quality video and follow along with flight sim if you can.

This is the Wilco PIC Airbus A320. I omitted the programming of the FMGC because I was only using the trial version of FRAPS and doing that in 30 second chunks would have been a real pain.
