I hear even the 787 guys aren’t impressed with the VNAV. That’s a good thing right? It means our jobs are still safe. Right?

Man. I sure hope nobody from my airline management is reading this. This is exactly the sort of stuff they come up with that leaves us wondering why we’re flying the thing like it’s a 707.

That would not be fun going into LAX on the Hollywood STAR. Just about every fix has a constraint, but it’s pretty simple. You set the FCU to 12,000 for the bottom of the star, then you set the FAF...

yes. Magenta.

I have to ask. Why? Assuming you fly a Boeing/Airbus, what’s the benefit, and how do you handle soft constraints (eg 21,000-23,000)?

The case with altitude constraints is the only case where I’ve seen the PFD not match the FCU (by design).

This situation is where I actually find it useful to point to the FCU. ATC clears you to...

To be clear, things like you're describing are ok to tweak a bit, in my opinion. My airline however, has a tendency to change more consequential procedures- like flight control checks, go around...

I like the finger on the FCU technique. I’ve never had to vocalise anything but altitudes though. I’ve seen a few YouTube videos and it seems tiring- to be generous. Still, I’d be more comfortable...

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

To be clear, I’m not talking about mode awareness on the FMA. I’m only talking about the actual numbers. Eg have you ever put 300 in the speed window and had...

General EFIS and A320-specific questions

Hi all,



2 questions if you would
