This manual is for entertainment purposes only and is meant to be used exclusively with the flight
crew software program, FS2Crew (www.fs2crew.com). While we attempt to simulate Airbus
procedures as realistically as possible -procedures, which, we should point out, Airbus frequently
change- this is not an official Airbus or any company specific manual, nor is it endorsed by Airbus or
any airline. This manual must not be used for any real-world training or flying. It may contain
incorrect or out-of-date information.

BUTTON CONTROL USERS – READ THIS!

This tutorial was built for Voice Control users. However, Button Control and Voice Control follow the
same procedures and flows, so you can still use this tutorial as a Button Control user.

Differences between Voice and Button Control:

1. Button Control is currently limited to the Pilot Flying tutorial. In a later update we’ll allow
Button Control access to the Pilot Monitoring tutorial.
2. The FMGS check at 10,000 feet is not simulated in Button Control.

Notes:

On an initial install, FS2Crew starts by default in Button Control mode unless the user manually
changes the interface method to Voice control.

FS2Crew.com V1.0 1
Button Control is generally much easier than Voice Control as you do not need to say anything, and
you simply follow a linear path. All you really need to do is follow what you see on the FS2Crew Main
Panel and press the MAIN or SECONDARY button when you see fit.

As shown in the Main Ops Manual, Button Control users need to assign keys in the P3D CONTROLS ->
KEY ASSIGNMENTS screen.

FS2Crew Main Panel = AUTOFEATHER (ARM/OFF)

Recommended key assignment: N key.

Main Button = ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE (ON/OFF)

Recommend key assignment: C key.

Secondary Button = PROPELLER SYNC (ON/OFF)

Recommend key assignment: V key.

In the example above:

Pressing Main Button would trigger the action associated with the text in white on the left side of the
Main Panel.

Pressing the Secondary Button would trigger the action in yellow on the right side of the Main Panel.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Press the Main/Secondary Button at the appropriate time. Just because
something is there it does not mean you have to press the Main/Secondary button right way.

FLYING AS THE PILOT FLYING

The Airbus requires two pilots to fly. In Airbus terminology, one pilot is called the Pilot Flying. The
other is called the Pilot Monitoring.

In this tutorial, you assume the role of the Pilot Flying.

This tutorial assumes you generally know how to fly the aircraft and program the MCDU. However,
we’ve added a lot of “Extra Notes” for the Airbus fan boys among you!

Things to know:

1. FS2Crew is following stock OEM Airbus procedures and the stock A320 checklist. However,
where possible, we tried to add some company specific (and personal) options which are
available in the Options menu on the Secondary Panel.

2. It’s important that the Departure and Approach Brief Pages (FS2Crew Secondary Panel) be
filled out in full. A lot of data FS2Crew needs to trigger many of the callouts and events
comes directly from there, since much of that data cannot be read directly out of the aircraft
due to interface limits.

3. Phrases to be issued by the user (Pilot Flying) are highlighted in RED. Phrases spoken by the
PM (Pilot Monitoring) are in PURPLE.

4. If using VOICE CONTROL, it’s recommended that you always keep the Green Bar visible (DSP
button on FS2Crew Main Panel) so you can confirm that the speech recognition system is
detecting the intended phrase. It’s also a good idea to check the FS2Crew Main Panel to
confirm you’re in the REQUIRED FS2CREW MODE. For your commands to work, you must be
in the expected mode. You cannot, for example, call for the AFTER LANDING CHECKLIST,
while the mode says TAKEOFF.

5. If using Voice Control, and you get stuck in a checklist because you forget the response phrase
or your phrase just isn’t being detected, speak “SET AND CHECKED” to advance forward.

6. As the Pilot Flying with the autopilot on, you maintain exclusive control of the FCU. If the
autopilot is off, you would command the PM to set the FCU as desired.

Due to technical limitations, you cannot command the PM to set specific Speed, Heading and
Alt values with FS2Crew. Hopefully FSLabs will release an SDK in the future allowing us to do
this. However, this is not unrealistic limitation, since, as mentioned, only the PF sets the FCU
when the autopilot is on, and the Airbus is usually always flown with the autopilot on except
for takeoff and non-automatic landings.

However, the following voice commands are available when the necessary conditions are
met.

ABOUT PANEL STATES AND THE BARO SELECTOR

PANEL STATES:

We strongly recommend that you only use the stock FSLabs A320 panel states.

IMPORTANT: AFTER LOADING THE PANEL STATE FILE, DO NOT MANUALLY CONNECT
POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT IF USING THE FS2CREW PRE-FLIGHT EVENTS. LET THE FS2CREW
PILOT SET EVERYTHING UP FOR YOU OTHERWISE FS2CREW COULD WIND UP ‘TURNING OFF’
YOUR POWER SOURCE. THIS IS BECAUSE CERTAIN SWITCHES CANNOT BE READ IN THE
PLANE, SUCH AS THE STATE OF THE EXT AVAIL/ON LIGHT.

FS2Crew.com V1.0 4
LOADING THE AIRBUS:

When P3D loads, the default aircraft should never be the FS Labs Airbus. A default aircraft
should be the aircraft that appears first on the free flight screen. Then you can manually
choose the FS Labs Airbus. This is to ensure everything loads cleanly.

FS2Crew.com V1.0 5
AIRBUS OPTIONS:

Ensure that ‘BARO SELECTOR SYNCED IS SET TO ON’ in the Airbus EFIS OPTIONs. FS2Crew
cannot control the baro selector directly for both pilots, so this option must be selected to
ON.

look at the IRS MONITOR page on the MCDU to confirm that they’re in NAV. In the Airbus,
the physical position of the switches doesn’t matter so much. Consider them to be like
“FICTION”. It’s what you see on the screens that count: They are the “FACT”.

 • Brake pivot turn NOT allowed.
• Only a small amount of power is needed above thrust idle. Thrust should normally be used
symmetrically. For tight turns, asymmetric thrust is allowed. Do not stop during a turn.
• Pedals control nosewheel steering at low speed. They can be used for straight taxiways and
shallow turns but keep your hand on the tiller.
• If icing conditions exist during ground operations for more than 30 minutes, and if surface
conditions permit, accelerate the engines to 70% N1 at intervals not greater than 30 minutes.
If aircraft starts to move during check, retard thrust levers immediately to IDLE.
• Engines (CFM) need 2 minutes minimum at or near IDLE to stabilize.

SETTING UP FOR ARRIVAL
Approximately 15 minutes prior to the Top of Descent point, the crew members swap controls (Pilot
Flying becomes Pilot Monitoring).

SPEAK: “YOU HAVE CONTROL”

This allows the original Pilot Flying to setup the aircraft for the approach without being distracted by
flying duties.

Note: If you want to pass control in a professional way, ask the other pilot if he’s ready to take
control. Don’t just throw it on him or her. Also, to assist in situation awareness, inform him or her of
your position and announce the state of the FCU (for example, which autopilot is on, which lateral
mode you’re in, etc.).

If you’re not sure how to program the MCDU, please consult the manuals that came with the FSLabs
A320 aircraft. FS2Crew assumes you generally know how to fly the plane and program the MCDU.

A useful acronymic to help the PF setup for the approach is: PABBA

P = PLAN MODE
A = ATIS
B = BUILD THE MEXICAN HAT (PAGE CHECKING ORDER ON THE MCDU: F-PLAN -> RAD NAV -> PROG ->
PERF -> FUEL PRED -> SEC F-PLN)
B = BRIEF THE APPROACH
A = APPROACH CHECKLIST (NORMALLY DEFFERED TO LATER IF YOU ARE AT CRUISE ALTITUDES).

VOICE COMMAND:

“ARE YOU READY FOR THE APPROACH BRIEF?”

“ANY QUESTIONS?”

IMPORANT: DO NOT SKIP THE ABOVE TWO (APPROACH BRIEF) PHRASES AS THEY PUT FS2CREW INTO
“DESCENT MODE”, WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR MANY CALLOUTS TO PLAY DURING THE DESCENT.

When done, SPEAK: “I HAVE CONTROL”

Extra Notes:

• To go around, announce: “GO AROUND FLAPS”.

• Relevant available Voice Commands during approach:

“WIPERS ON / OFF”.

If aircraft moving, ask PM to set lights:

“LANDING LIGHTS OFF”
“STROBES AUTO”

• Disarming the Ground Spoilers is the trigger for the PM to start his After Landing flow.

• PM Flap Retraction Logic:

If approach made in icing conditions or runway contaminated with snow or slush, PM will
leave the flaps down. After the engines have been shut down, engineering would inspect and
clear the flap tracks as required.

If OAT above 30C on the ground, PM will select CONF 1 to avoid an overheat in vicinity of
wing bleed ducts which could trigger an ECAM caution.

ONE ENGINE TAXI PROCEDURE (ARRIVAL):

• Consider 3 minute required cool down time.

• Command: “SHUTDOWN ENGINE 2”.
• PM will shut down Engine 2 and turn on the Yellow Electric Pump.

Extra Notes:

• If START APU TAXI IN Config Option Set to NO, shutdown the left engine first. FS2Crew will then
connect the GPU. After the GPU is connected and brought on-line, shut down the right engine.
• When setting the parking brake, confirm PARK BRK MEMO is displayed. Check brake pressure and
ACCU pressure (must be in green band).
• If brake temps above 500C (or 350C with brake fans on), avoid applying the parking brake unless
necessary.

FS2Crew.com V1.0 33
• If one brake temp is above 300C (or 150C with brake fans ON), release the parking brake after the
chocks are in place, operational conditions permitting (no slippery surface).
• Ensure minimum time at or near IDLE 3 minutes or greater to stabilize the engine hot section.
• PM will select APU Bleed ON just before engine shutdown to avoid the ingestion of exhaust gases
from the engines.
• If MAINTENANCE STATUS message displayed, check MMEL.
• IRS Performance check. Not simulated, but the PM would go to the MCDU: DATA/POSITION
MONITOR PAGE, check the deviation of each IRS position from the FMGC position and check that
the value does not exceed a graph available in the FCOM.

Extra Notes:

• Crews very rarely perform the Securing Aircraft function. Like with the PRELIMINARY
COCKPIT PREPERATION and COCKPIT PREPERATION sections, according to Airbus it’s okay to
reference your manuals when performing the Securing Aircraft section.
• To ensure ADIRS memorizes the last data, PM will wait at least 10 seconds before turning OFF
the electrical supply.
• To prevent smoke from entering the cabin during the next APU start, PM will wait 2 minutes
after the APU AVAIL light goes out before setting the batteries to OFF to ensure the APU flap
has fully closed.
