Introduction

Below you will find a series of video tutorials that I have made along with the Aerosoft A320 aircraft. All of the procedures and everything that you can do in an A320 can be done in the A318, 319 and 321. All aircraft have the same cockpit layout and similar performance. The main differences between them are minor size changes, passenger capacity and aircraft range.

These videos were made following procedures taken from documentation which comes with the aircraft. I am not a real pilot myself, simply a simulation enthusiast so please forgive any errors or inconsistencies compared to real world procedures.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
Cheers, Doof
