Airbus Autoland - The Basics

Here we look at the basics required to set up our A320 simulator for an Autoland, including programming the FMGS using the MCDU. We then fly an ILS approach to Manchester EGCC 23R whilst discussing the procedures involved. A further video taking a more detailed look at the procedures and technical aspects is planned to follow. Timings: Programming the FMGS @start Activating the Approach @4:40 Flying the approach @5:20 Landing from 1000’ @10:00 Acronyms used in this video: FMGS: Flight Management and Guidance System MCDU: Multipurpose Control and Display Unit LVPs: Low Visibility Procedures Trivia: In addition to the master warning and caution lights, the aircraft is fitted with Autoland Warning lights which alert the pilots to failures that interrupt an automatic landing. This is planned to be discussed in a later video. At 4:40 green dot is mentioned as the aircraft is slowed for the approach. Green dot speed represents the best lift-drag ratio in clean configuration (no slats/flaps) selected. For an A320, below 20,000' this should equate to 1.5 x weight of the aircraft (tons) +110.

At the end of the rollout the Autopilot should be disconnected before vacating the runway. Failure to do so and turning the steering handwheel results in the aircraft steering back towards the runway centreline as soon as the handwheel is released. Eventually, the autopilot will automatically disconnect once the aircraft heading is 20 degrees or more off the runway centreline.
