PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO LAST MINUTES CHANGES OF THE

CHECKLISTS SYSTEM THIS STEP BY STEP GUIDE INCUDES CHECKLISTS

THAT ARE NOT FULLY INDENTICAL. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHECKLISTS

IN THE AIRCRAFT. WE WILL UPDATE THIS MANUAL SOON.

1.1 Start P3D

Start the P3D with a “FREE FLIGHT” and use the following options:

Aircraft: A319 professional LUFTHANSA NewFleet D-AIBA

Weather: Fair weather

Location: Frankfurt/Germany (EDDF) at Gate B47 – Gate Small

Time and Season: Day – summer (real flight departs at 0700z)

Do NOT use default ATC and disable AI traffic. The reasons being are that ATC/AI can use different

runways than we use in our tutorial. This might end up

• EDDF – Departure Airport: AI may use 07 for approaches, causing immediate TA's and RA's on

takeoff.

• EGLL – Arrival Airport: Apparently default ATC and AI use the opposing runways 09L/R.

If the aircraft it is not in the “COLD DARK” state when you load it (maybe you already set a DEFAULT

aircraft state – see chapter 4.3 for details), please set all knobs, switches and buttons to OFF so that no

lights are ON (Batteries 1 + 2 should be set OFF last) - please see chapter 5.26: Overhead Panel –. But

the easiest way to make those settings (and necessary for this tutorial flight) is to use the ACFT STATE

function of the Settings MCDU and set the aircraft state to “COLD DARK” (please see chapter 4.3 for

details).

To open the ‘Settings’ MCDU click in the red areas.

1.2 General P3D Settings

Adjust the P3D settings according to the Volume 1 of the Aerosoft A318/319/320/321 documentation

1.3 Simulation Rate / Time Compression:

Especially during longer flights many users increase the simulation rate to shorten the flight. Please do

not do this, as it can cause problems. This is because the avionics of 318/319/320/321 are completely

reprogrammed and do not use any P3D standard features. This means that the avionics are not

compatible with the time compression features of P3D.
