Microsoft Flight Simulator | ILS Landing Tutorial | Airbus A320neo 

Interior: Flight Simulator 2020 Exterior: PowerPoint Great vid btw

Wow, this was by far the best ILS tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much.

I've been flying prop planes in this sim just because I can't get these jets to smoothly land. This was incredibly helpful. Please keep making more tutorials for those of us that want to pursue this sim.

Amazing video, I did an ILS landing completely by accident the other day and haven't been able to figure it out until watching this! Didn't know about arming the spoilers/having them deploying automatically either, very cool!

I love how you are explaining every steps comparing to other people who don't explain, but just show that they know what we don't know. I'll watch your other videos. Please keep these videos coming

Many thanks for the Clear and Easy Explanation Captain on ILS. I have seen Real Airbus Pilots have Not been able to Make it So Simple. Much Appreciated Sir and Please Keep Adding Such Good Material.

At last, someone who explains it easy. I really appreciate you making this video. Cheers

Again Captain Horn, you have shown the procedures in simple terms making it easy to follow. Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I watched several videos, even from real-world pilots to learn the differences of ILS landing in the new MSFS compared to FSX, but (all due respect) real pilots usually bring us to the forest (I mean, into the sky) and leave us there to dry out (I mean, to get frozen). While THIS IS above EXACTLY what we need. Simple settings for gamers, aviation enthusiasts, only what is really necessary for a successful ILS landing. GREAT WORK, THANK YOU AGAIN! :)))

Solid tutorials that actually teach you things. Thanks man!

Dude!! Great tutorial! Finally I can land my A320! Thanks a lot!

So glad I found this tutorial and the one on auto pilot... after trying out several other tutorials that either went too fast, didn't explain anything, left stuff out, didn't zoom in,... I think I can maybe do this now if I pay close attention... Thanks for some excellent tutorials!!!

Thank you so much for this, using the ILS has been a struggle and this helped enormously.

You're the best man, literally. You have the best tutorials for this game on RU-vid🥇. Asobo should hire you. The more people are able to understand this game, the more they will be invested and encourage others to join the fun. Thanks again.

Thanks 👨‍✈️ captain. I’ve seen other ILS vids and this is up there with the best. Subscribed.

thank you, your video really covers all of the curiosity we have as beginners ... really good piece of tutorial right here.

This is actually a rlly good video tutorial for beginners like myself, you explained what everything is and does really well, great video!! Hopefully you upload other tutorials like this

Thank you, I have not seen a tutorial that explained the ILS setup in the FMS so easily.

On a whole, VERY GOOD video! In a real ILS approach, there are MINIMUM altitudes you can’t descend below, to avoid controlled flight into terrain (you can’t see the ground!). Also, if you are coming in the “wrong” direction, & not on radar vectors, you use a published “procedure turn” to get the aircraft properly aligned with the localizer. You land & take-off INTO the wind, NEVER with a tailwind. If your departure point was in the opposite direction to landing, you have to reverse course through a DME arc or procedure turn. Video was very helpful for flying MS2020; keep more coming!

Great tutorial, thanks! Could be worth adding a guide on how to transition from navigating along a path to an ILS landing

First video I have watched that made this simple enough to understand! so many videos that talk at you like you already have a clue, and most don't especially if they are watching these videos! Drawyah i'm looking at you! 🤣

thx :). this was really helpful for me as i am used to flying a 737 in flight sim and now having to switch over to a320.

brilliant explanation of what i need to do, i struggle with ils at the moment.

Thanks. This is the best ILS landing tutorial for the A320 that I've seen (and I've watched a lot of them). Also I'm from NC, so I land at KCLT a lot.

Well this is nicely explained, cheers man! Just did my first flight in the 320 and it's quiete different from the CJ4 I've been using most of the time til now.

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much!

This is the best video I have seen on ils. Thanks a ton❤

At last a video that tells it the right way plain and clear .Thank you this has got me buzzing at last a fair landing Thank you.

Hey, thanks for doing that video. Learnt a lot and enjoyed watching it too!

Thank you so much for your videos. They have been so very helpful. Finally made my 1st successful ILS landing in the airbus. A few things from your videos I want to touch on. So I hadn't heard of an updated airbus so I looked for it & found & installed it. When I tried to find it in game I could not. But when I started up the regular air bus it was already the updated one. We get the bell chimes when we turn on the seat belt & no smoking. Now have access to the APU(do not know what that is, this is my first flight sim ever) Also the AP2 now works, well stays on when you engage it. I tried it but chickened out once I touched down & didn't seem to start slowing soon enough, could be me as I still really do not know what I'm doing or what is to be expected. Keep the videos coming my friend :-)

i was able to land with ur help, THANKS MAN!😍 it was my first landing😂

Best Tutorial out there. Thanks.

Great video, really helpful.

I love your tutorial videos....very instructive and easy to follow. Thank you

Thank you, really nice and useful tutorial

Fantast tutorial! Best I've seen and very helpful so thank you!

Excellent tutorial ,very clearly spoken and done in a way i can understand as a 68yr old with shocking hearing..... THANK YOU YOUNG MAN

Great work man

Your videos are really well done and helping me get started and enjoy msfs 2020, thank you!

Thanks for the help! Amazing

Nice video my brother!

AP1 sets the settings for the captain side. AP2 uses the setting for the copilot side. you should also be programming in the wind and wind direction into the FMC when the tower gives you that information on your final.

what a great video!! easy enough for a rookie like me to understand! :)

Glad to see another professional pilot who makes videos that actually knows what they are talking about. I've been flying 25 years and started making videos a week ago. Sometimes flying is easier than making videos.

So Nice and love it

great tutorial, subscribed

thanks man great vid

Thanks a lot for MCDU setup, I was flying in circles above airport, trying to figure out how to get waypoints added

A far easier tutorial to follow lol.. thanks so much for this

Very helpful... Thanks

Nice!

Great stuff !

Perfect tutorial

Thank you for the tutorial. Here are some additions on flying the ILS: 1. Raw Data - If you fly manually and without the Flight Director and just follow the needles it's called a RAW Data approach. This can be quite a challenge. Especially on non-Fly-By-Wire aircraft. 2. Stabilized Approach - Most airlines want their pilots to be stabilized at 1000 feet above the runway. This simplified means that at 1000' the Landing gear is down, Landing flaps are set and that the speed is within -5 to +20 knots from Vref. If this criterion is not met you have to make a go-around. 3. LOC vs APP - Just arming Approach mode will do the job. However, in the real world, a lot of airlines SOP is to arm the LOC and then arm APP once you have captured the localizer. This is to prevent the aircraft from starting a descent on the glideslope before being established on the localizer. 4. Intercept speed and altitude - Always try to intercept the glideslope from below. It is possible to capture it from above but it will make it much more difficult to be stabilized that way. Try to intercept the localizer with some flaps out and at a reduced speed. Flying too fast will make it difficult for even the autopilot to capture the localizer. For example Flaps 5 and speed 180 in a medium-size jet.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. What I haven't found and would love to find is a video on how to update the approach waypoint (not sure the correct terminology) based on what the in-sim ATC tells you to use. For instance, if it tells you to to use a specific approach, I haven't figured out how to update the FMC to add that to the navigation waypoints.

thanks a lot great video

this tutorial is amazing

I’m here watching in Sanford, NC. I’ve been trying to land the A320 in Raleigh, NC. I’m trying improve my approach landings.

When you are traveling in an airplane and just see the cockpit as you go into the airplane. I usually get really fascinated by all the buttons. It seems like its a lot more straight forward then I thougth xD

Amazing video. More tutorial on navigation and transition please!

Autopilot 2 is currently not working, it's a bug at the moment. Great video, but man, can you even fly with those fps being so low. Anyways nice video. Thanks for that. You just forgot to tune ATIS before approach to get wind info and other info for fms to add it into arrival page

Why have I learned more from this video then I have from my entire school year! (As of now my last day of school is tomorrow)

As a flightsim beginner the Airbus 320 neo is my favourite mostly because it has Easy to use and understand the ap feature. It's Easy to plot in the different values. And the ap does exactly what i want it to do. Climb to 30000 feet no problem. With smaller plane ap it's a pain because the ap seems to want to go into a Steep dive and crash the plane. Probably because i havent plotted the values correctly lol.

I've actually flown my paramotor down that exact runway in real life :-)

Good job! AP 2 not working with 1 is a known bug lets hope it gets fixed in the upcoming update on the 27th. I have had it flare by itself a number of times when i left it on but not all the time

Thank you very much for this Video. Suscribed... Greetings from Germany

Good job first time landing 👍👍allways casch 😁

Maybe works at CAT III category in auto land. Anyways, great video! :)

Wonderful ❤

It take someone special to explain sophisticated things who doesn't sound like they love to sniff their own farts, thanks for this.

amazing teaching.

Reverse thrusters is bound to the same key as lowering the thrusters (default keybind is F2)

@CaptainHorn23 To reverse thrust, press and mantain F2 😉. Thanks for the video

Good video, you did a good job going into detail explaining what each of the buttons letters mean and what functions they performed.

Thanks for this great Tutorial! One of the best on RU-vid ;) One question: Why was the Course so important? Did I missed where you typed it in? Or what is it for?

A bold suggestion, but I think if you made this for the 747 that would be great as wel!

Great work, and for the visitors, let's buy this guy a decent GPU, can we 'patreon' him?

Awesome video man! Thanks for the tutorial! I've been scratching my head trying to figure this out. Also, idk if anyone else has had this issue, but my last flight in the a320, some things in the cockpit would randomly turn on or off. Lights, gear, instrument power.. kinda annoying. Lol

You need to do a video on exactly what you do from the flight plan to the landing

Thanks i buttered for the first tike

Dude, you can raise your seat in cockpit using up arrow. You can't land like this when you don't see a runway :)

I have been gradually learning from watching various tutorials how to fly the A320, and I feel that I'm almost at the point where I know everything I need to know to successfully start-up, taxi, take off, fly a route and land. I did learn one new thing from watching this video, and is something that I have not seen covered yet, is the RAD NAV page, and checking to see that you have your NAV 1 radio set to an active ILS. Fantastic tutorial, and thanks for sharing.

thank you

pretty good, but you wanna usually hit LOC to capture the localizer first then once you are closer to the glideslope then engage your APPR. That keeps the aircraft from veering left and right... Aside from that, great job! (To add... CAT III Dual isn't functional in this sim, but autoland does work)

nice video!!! it really helped me!

Hi, fantastic tutorial! May I know why you didn’t use the LOC button and what it does?

Nice video, I will give it a try. Have you tested leaving the Autopilot 2 on to see what happens?

U are the best

Dual ap is not simulated but autoland still works. It engages at around 400ft agl instead of 750ft agl irl I think.

good vid. I'd like to know how to fly direct and then set up for an ILS landing. Is it possible to add a waypoint to blank flight plan?

awesome work! appreciate it. I am new to MSFS2020 and have very little to no knowledge about aviation.! Can u guide me please.! Thnx

Great tutorial. Can you do an ils tutorial for the smaller planes as well?

This sim is kind of broken, I did all of the right procedures yet the auto ils landing system decided it would land 30 feet to the left of the runway

Thank you for your videos. They are very helpfull. I have been flying P3D and I have been too lazy to learn how to operate the FMS. Ir looks like that In the FS2020 one can`t even change the NAV radio frequencies, or is there a way of changing them without the FMS?. Can you help?. Thank you.

what is the difference between the rose modes , the arc , nav.? on the glareshield efis . what are their function and how can i know what to choose .

You have to have cat iii approach for auto land. CLT doesn’t have a catiii approach. That’s why you don’t get channel 2 or auto land to work.

Even though this tutorial is not a 'study level' guide, you speak nice and clearly and that's a huge help compared with the sim pilots from England who have the heavy brogue which makes listening problematic. Are you flying the default A320 or the "FlyByWire A320neo"? Just curious.

Isn't it just possible to fly in straight instead of 45 degree turn? And is it necessary to use de mcdu, or can you just put in the ils freq. in the nav2 radio freq and activate when approaching?

Very helpful! Am a complete noob at this game, but just figured out how to keep the plane on the pink path haha. Just cant figure out how to direct it to go behind the runway and not navigate to literally over the airport.
