Airbus 320 FMGC MCDU Training

general improvements

Learn the Airbus 320 MCDU by flying it, not by reading about it. This is a working flight management computer for iOS and: a scratchpad that accepts and rejects entries exactly as the real box does, line-select keys, a message queue, and the full temporary flight plan cycle of TMPY, ERASE and INSERT. Every character on the display is produced by the model. Nothing on screen is a screenshot. Built for pilots converting onto type, cadets preparing for airline selection, and anyone who wants the box to be second nature before they start paying for simulator hours. Key features: Sixty working MCDU pages: A/C STATUS, INIT A and B, IRS INIT, F-PLN A and B, LAT REV, VERT REV, DEPARTURE, ARRIVAL, DIR TO, AIRWAYS, HOLD, OFFSET, FIX INFO, ALTN, SEC F-PLN, the six PERF phases, PROG, FUEL PRED, RAD NAV, WIND, DATA, the ATSU, ATC COMM and the CFDS pages The A320-family faceplate: DIR, PROG, PERF, INIT and DATA on the first function row, F-PLN, RAD NAV, FUEL PRED, SEC F-PLN, ATC COMM and MCDU MENU on the second, the AIRPORT key and slew keys beside the keypad, and no EXEC key, because the temporary flight plan is inserted or erased from the screen Real navigation data: over 40,000 aerodromes, 216,000 fixes, 16,000 navaids, 9,800 airways and 4,200 ILS, with published SIDs, STARs and approaches for more than 7,000 aerodromes Procedures cut properly to the runway you selected, with runway and enroute transitions handled the way the box handles them Colour and monochrome display options: the six MCDU colours, temporary flight plan yellow included, or the whole display in one phosphor green A simulated ATSU that actually answers: AOC weather requests, ATIS, clearances, position reports, free text and CPDLC logon through ATC COMM Works offline. The navigation database ships with the app Physical keyboard support on tablet and desktop Sixteen of the sixty pages, the complete worldwide aerodrome, runway, navaid and fix database, one flight plan, direct point-to-point routing, and full published procedures for the Madrid to Rome training flight. An entire preflight, A/C STATUS through to PERF TAKE OFF with a SID, a STAR and an ILS, can be flown without paying anything. The other forty-four pages: the ATSU, ATC COMM, the CFDS block, the PERF CLB, CRZ, DES, APPR and GO AROUND phases, FUEL PRED, RAD NAV, holds, fix info, offsets and the alternate Published procedures at every aerodrome in the database Airway routing The second flight plan, SEC F-PLN Sessions that survive a restart Saved company routes Live METAR and TAF weather Who it is for: Pilots converting onto the A320 or preparing for a type rating Cadets and applicants preparing for airline selection Line crews keeping MCDU handling sharp between rosters Instructors and training organisations
