5.1 Basic Information - Setup
This tutorial flight describes all the phases of a flight from Frankfurt to London, from the “COLD DARK” situation
in Frankfurt to the landing at London, parking and securing the aircraft.
During the tutorial flight we are using the Aerosoft A318/319/320/321 procedure- and checklist which is based
on an original from and adjusted for usage in flight simulator. This list consists of a “running number” to identify
the action to be performed and in which panel, sub-panel the necessary knobs, switches and buttons can be
found. The various panels available and their terms are explained in chapter 2. If additional explanations for the
actions are necessary, the row is marked in light yellow and the explanations can be found below the respective
procedure- and checklist using the “running number” as a reference.
Again using this tutorial, the cockpit should be “COLD DARK”. If there are still some lights ON switch off all those
lights on the Overhead Panel. Another option (which is necessary to use the Checklist- and Copilot function) is
to load the plane and then go to the Settings MCDU view, MCDU MENU / ACFT STATE and select “COLD DARK”
state.
After setting the aircraft to “COLD DARK” also the screen for the 2D MCDU is dark (because of no power). To
power the plane up (as well as the 2D MCDU screen):
• Overhead Panel [F12] switch both batteries to ON section 4
• Overhead Panel [F12] switch External Power to ON section 6
To power up the various screen (PFD, ND, upper and lower ECAM) please switch on the respective panel lights
(Glareshield #8 and ECAM #4).
Also, the “CHECKLIST” and “COPILOT” function should already have been set to ON (=green). Please see chapter
4.7. Also, certain “limiters” (for approach speed and 250 knots) are included in the copilot (PM) function please
see chapter 4.6 for details.
The different colors used in the following lists symbolize and explain the function:
