Airbus A320 MCDU Setup Manual Setup and Simbrief 

Amazing tutorial! I recommended it to my beginner cousin too and he loved it too! Super simple and easy to understand if you know the basics.

Thanks for the great video/update. The FBW set up changes so often it's so helpful you do these videos. Thanks once again

Thank you for making it simple - I wanted to up my game in the sim 👌👌

Amazing guide! Best on youtube!

Recently discovered your channel and decided it was time to download the a320 and replicate your flight from Manchester. Absolutely loved it and lost a whole weekend trying to get my head around this fabulous plane. One thing that totally confused me though was the Navigraph chats. Not so much reading them, but just how you flicked around all the different types of charts and screens! Be awesome if you could walk through SimBrief and Navigraph charts a little and how to use them in your flying. Awesome job though. I’m going to replicate this particular MCDU setup over the coming days!! ❤

Nice clear explanation, thanks. I needed that refresher guide !

Once again. Thanks a lot sir! You’re my guy!

Such a good tutorial!

What a great video ! Really helpful ! Thank You 👍🙏🏻✈️👨‍✈️

Brilliant for someone learning this - thanks

I just finished the MCC course on the A320, FI was an A320 examiner and we actually used to feed it with the calculated trim by typing "up" or "dn" directly followed by the value for instance "UP1.2". So when rotating the pitch trim is already where it should be, from there on autotrim managed the trim of course.

Thx for makeing it simple and it helped Me so much

Thank you, super job!

Thank you very much. I learned a lot of things and will implement them.

Bloody awesome!!!!

clear explanation -thanks!!!

THANKS BRO YOURE THE BEST

thank you its working now /just subscribed

Thanks for the tutorial

Another great video but I did notice you changed the takeoff runway. I was following along so I set my flight plan up as I saw it in your simbrief plan. Not a big deal but just thought I would mention it. I really learned a lot so thanks for that.

clear and useful thank you

Tip: Use Airport key to jump to DEST in flight plan. Saves some scrolling.

Appreciate the review. It helped confirm the process in my mind from your earlier version, and those of others. One question that perplexes me: I set up a flight in SimBrief from KBWI to KPIT. On the STAR of runway 10L at Pittsburgh (DEMME 5), there is an altitude constraint of 10,000 feet at NESTO which shows correctly in the MCDU. However, when I look at the next waypoint in the STAR (DEMME) the MCDU still shows my initial cruising altitude of FL250 (25000). It does not show the next constraint waypoint (GRUNZ). It also has a constraint of 60000. I would have exxpected to see it listed. The next waypoint in PENGN which, again, shows the FL250 altitude. I am confused. I thought that if the MCDU indicates a lower altitude (such as the 10,000 at NESTO) it should show the same altitude at the next waypoint, not the initial cruise altitude. I am also confused why GRUNZ and its >6k altitude constraint did not show at all. I do have a Navigraph subscription and using the correct AIRNC in SImBrief and the sim. My concern is whether this behavior will mess up my descents during the STAR phase of the flight as well at the ILS approach. Any ideas why this might happen? Or do I just have to manually "correct" the inerrent altitudes in the MCDU before I begin the flight? Or do I just ignore and use Selected altitudes instead of Managed? Many thanks.

Is there a way to insert flaps for approach? I only noticed i can do that just for take off. There is such option on a310 by the way

Hi there i would like to know where you see your takeoff info in simbrief i couldnt find it thank you

Thanks. Please also create a video explaining how to select STAR.. what VIA and TRANS to select. Another question, if you messed up flight plan on MCDU, how to clear current plan and re-fetch from simbrief?

DOPE

May I ask where do we get the approach via information?

Is it possible to explain what Cng Code means in the Mcdu Thanks

Can anyone help can we connect and use a tablet for the in flight tablet which will make the experience more realistic?

So if I don't purchase the subscription and the airac won't be updated, It wont work?

When I use my rudder it goes the opposite way then to the right way

Just wondered why you didn't load the winds on the Init A page 👍

I am using simbrief but I didn’t have the button to request the info on the INIT page? Any idea as to why?

Excellent primer on programming the MCDU. I followed along in FlightSim and tried to enter the information exactly as you did. Everything was working great except that at around 18:20 you jumped back into the MCDU from Navigraph and seemed to start DIFSRIP from scratch. Is this an alternate route?

great video! quick question though: when you completed the mcdu with the simbrief integration, it gave you the altitudes and speeds for all of the waypoints, however when you did it manually, i didnt see them. do they also have to be filled in manually?

6:55 how do i keep this updated? do i have to pay for the subscription?

why at KOK you presses insert and then added in other part? why didn't you just added at the AIRWAYS FROM ODVIK part?

Thx. for the tutorial ...I have an issue into my flybywire tablet ( when I click the sitting and then select the ATSU/AOC , there is no (( SimBrief/username/pilot id)) ...to enable me enter my ID... the second issue is when I click the MCDU - AOC MENU (( there is no OPTION text)) so I can enter the simBrief ... and the last qustion is (( How to enable Capt. and copailot seen into the cockpit ?)) Plz HELP

I noticed that you have filled in the LS/FREQ under the RADNAV in the MCDU. Where did you locate that info and what would be the correct format to enter it into the MCDU?

My ZFW/ZFWCG doesn't seem to compute correctly after entering block fuel. Wondering if there's a bug? Comes up with 55.4/32.1 (out of range error). Did i miss a step? I don't think I downloaded the block fuel data from SimBrief, I just entered the block number shown in the briefing data. Does it pull other data that is used for that calculation? I have tried this again and found that it will give me the ZFW/ZCG number without the block number entered. So maybe I /we were doing that out of order?

My tablet looks completely different. What’s the deal with that? Lol. Tried to find recent ish videos.

show, how do you highlight the flight plan screen as a popup exemple on 9:21 minutes.

Hey m8 .i saw on ATSU that W/B its not there . And i saw an other vid that is there.can you explain me this why happens;

Why do i keep getting Map not avail whenever i turn in the plane? I'm dont everything as exactly in the video.. 4:07

What abut the flex to temp ( why we keep it empty ) ? @ 15:03 .... Thanks a lot for the tutorial

Hello.I have a question.What plugin do you use for the planes in the airport.Thank you!

hello can you help ? when going to the settings on the fbw pad ATSU/AOC the simbrief username/pilot id is missing it should be under hoppie user id at the momment i cant use simbrief?

You did not explain how you choose a VIA for the arrival approach. What if we don't have charts?

How do i enlarge the display screen like you did at 9:24 ?

I'm new to vatsim but how do you work out if your on a 8 mile final for RWY 23L is it to do with the DME or something?

Is there any free version for simbreif?

How do you hae the Top of descent point in the fmc?

Does somebody know how to get the tablet in the a320? There's a bunch of tutorials on how to set up Navigraph but I don't know how to get the actual tablet....

What version of the FBW are you using? I get no T/C or TOD info in my flight plan

How do you popout the ND?

Please help me when i press "INIT REQUEST" it show Not in database i already download it but idk which file should i download there is so many of them or where should the file located ?

nice, but you skip the tropo, ground temp and wind data. A/c status, alternate route, Nadp and progress page

No mention of Flex To Temp?! Should this be set... even in a sim??

Wait is this a reupload sir? Because im sure i have use this tutorial few months ago

Sorry I mean CHG code

What OFP Layout do you use?

I’m also just wondering, is the plane used free?

I dont have that tablet

among other things, it doesn't recognize my simbrief user name

I like how it says FREE all over the simbrief website but then as soon as you register to use the services, or try to do literally anything, it forces you to pay a 10 dollar monthly fee to do anything 🙄🙄🙄

The Ipad literally isn't there...
