This book introduces you to how you would go about flying the default Airbus A330-300, which is supplied as one of the aircraft included in X-Plane 12.
Laminar Research's A330 is an excellent, very high-quality airliner - the most complex of all the default X-Plane 12 aircraft. Unfortunately, it lacks any MCDU documentation (still coming, I believe), and it lacks any kind of tutorial except a reference document of where all the components are situated. This e-book attempts to fill that gap and show a relative beginner how to fly the Airbus A300.
This e-book consists of two parts. The first part is a simple flight to let you get the feel of what it's like to fly this big bird. The simple flight gives you a feeling for what is involved and a sense of satisfaction that it's not quite as difficult as it may appear.
This first flight will be dangerously simplified, without using ATC, but still complex enough to give you a feel for what it's like to fly an airliner. The emphasis will be on programming the MCDU [Multi-Function Control And Display Unit].
In the book's second part, we'll dive in more deeply and execute a complete flight from one airport to another, starting from a cold and dark situation and ending with a controlled descent and a CAT III ILS landing.
Essentially, the book has two purposes:
- to give you a taste of what it's all about,
- and to give you a firm enough grounding that further study is no longer so daunting.
This e-book will not teach you how to become an ATP [Air Transport Pilot], but it will (hopefully):
• De-mystify some of the incredible complexity of these magnificent machines
• Introduce you to that frightening thing called a MCDU/FMC [ Multi-Function Control and Display Unit / Flight Management Computer] and help you tame it.
• At the same time provide you with step-by-step instructions to at least get you into the air (You might crash on landing the first time, though!)
• And have lots of fun doing it!
Also included are various X-Plane-specific tips, explanations and practical "How-tos".
