LVFR A330-900 Basic Guide

[maxpmonaghan]

So I’m no pilot, nor a hardcore enthusiast, but having spent hours flying this plane and continuously searching for a guide I’ve collated my experience and notes. It’s second nature to me now so I don’t really use it. I’m sure it’s far from realistic but it’s a base for something better.

Plan flight on Simbrief, ensure to select the LVFR airframe. Allow SB to calculate the CI and CRZ LVL. Press Select SID/STAR and where available choose the CAT ABCD, RNAV or Standard option in that order.
If you don’t have a Navigraph Subscription remember to check the plan works with AIRAC 2203 using the next button.
For beginners only edit the DEPT, ARRV, AIRFRAME, MODEL, SID/STAR and PASSENGERS.
Generate the Flight Plan.

In-game, use the MSFS planner to copy the Flight Plan, enter your DEPT RW and ARRV RW, select IFR Rules High.
Then select the SID and STAR previously chosen from the SB Briefing and enter them into the arrival / departure procedures. Next select the correct ILS approach from your plan.
Finally change the cruise altitude to match the SB plan.
Load the game.
Make sure AI piloting is disabled, AI ATC assistance, AI piloting while in cursor and assisted takeoff are all disabled. Auto trim, anti-stall are fine.

Once you’ve taken off you can turn on the Co pilot ATC again, occasionally leaving it on for takeoff can cause the tower to cancel the plan after takeoff if not disabled before syncing flight plan.

Note: While I had the A330-900 in mind for this specific guide, I can’t see why the general procedures would not work for the A318/19/20/21 etc. I personally am having trouble with plan sync failing on everything but the A330, why I’ve ended up using it so much. They worked, then they didn’t. I’m sure if I bothered to reinstall them it’d fix the issue.

Also, might have missed tags, or be in the wrong board.

Knowledge Base

Flight Planning on Simbrief:

Simbrief is a powerful flight planning tool used by pilots to generate detailed flight plans based on aircraft performance data, weather conditions, and user input.
By entering specific parameters such as departure and arrival airports, alternate airports, and aircraft type, Simbrief generates a comprehensive flight plan that includes route waypoints, fuel requirements, and performance data.

Aircraft Configuration:

The A330-900neo is a modern wide-body aircraft manufactured by Airbus, featuring advanced aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort.
Configuration settings such as climb, cruise, and descent profiles are essential for optimizing the aircraft’s performance and efficiency during different phases of flight.

Options and Selections:

The selection of OFP layout, AIRAC cycle, and unit preferences allows pilots to customize their flight planning experience according to personal preferences and operational requirements.

Routing:

SIDs and STARs are standardized departure and arrival procedures designed to enhance safety and efficiency by providing clear guidance for aircraft navigating in and out of busy terminal airspace.
By prioritizing specific categories and types of routes, pilots can ensure that the selected procedures align with the capabilities and requirements of the A330-900neo.

MSFS 2020 Flight Planner:

Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 features an integrated flight planning tool that allows pilots to create and edit flight plans directly within the simulator.
Pilots can specify departure and arrival runways, select SID and STAR procedures, and adjust cruise altitude to match the flight plan generated on Simbrief.

Tablet Integration:

Tablet integration allows pilots to connect Simbrief directly to their in-game cockpit, providing real-time access to flight plan data, fuel calculations, and weather updates.
By synchronizing the flight plan, fuel, and payload information, pilots can ensure that their in-game experience reflects the parameters set in Simbrief.

MCDU Setup:

The Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) is a central interface used by pilots to manage flight plans, performance calculations, and navigation settings.
Initialization of the MCDU involves inputting key parameters such as Cost Index, cruise level, and takeoff configuration, ensuring that the aircraft’s systems are configured correctly for departure.

Flight Control Unit Configuration:

The Flight Control Unit (FCU) is a panel located in the cockpit that allows pilots to control various flight parameters such as altitude, speed, and heading.
Configuration of the FCU involves setting barometric pressure, activating flight director and constraint modes, and configuring autopilot settings for different phases of flight.

Overhead Panel and Center Console:

The overhead panel and center console house various controls and indicators related to aircraft systems, including engine anti-ice, auto brake, spoilers, and flaps.
Proper configuration of these controls ensures that the aircraft is prepared for takeoff and operates safely during all phases of flight.

Checklist:

The checklist provides a systematic approach to pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight procedures, helping pilots ensure that critical tasks are completed in the correct sequence.
By following the checklist, pilots can minimize the risk of oversight and ensure that the aircraft is operated safely and efficiently.

Takeoff Procedure:

The takeoff procedure involves a series of steps designed to safely and efficiently transition the aircraft from the ground to the air.
Key elements of the takeoff procedure include verifying speeds, releasing parking brakes, applying throttle, and retracting landing gear and flaps.

Transition Altitude:

Transition altitude is the altitude at which pilots switch from using local barometric pressure to standard pressure (29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.25 millibars) for altitude reference.
At transition altitude, pilots also adjust other settings such as landing lights, spoilers, and seatbelt signs in preparation for cruising altitude.

Cruise:

The cruise phase of flight is characterized by stable, level flight at a predetermined altitude and airspeed.
Pilots use this phase to monitor aircraft systems, adjust fuel consumption, and navigate along the planned route using navigation aids and instruments.

Before Top of Descent:

Before reaching the top of descent (TOD), pilots prepare for the upcoming descent phase by reviewing the flight plan, verifying altitude constraints, and adjusting aircraft systems as necessary.
The TOD marks the point at which the aircraft begins its descent toward the destination airport.

Top of Descent:

The top of descent (TOD) is the point at which the aircraft begins its descent from cruise altitude toward the destination airport.
Pilots use navigation displays and flight management systems to calculate the TOD and initiate the descent profile according to the planned route.

Descent:

The descent phase of flight involves descending from cruise altitude to the arrival airport, typically following predefined descent profiles and procedures.

Pilots adjust aircraft systems, configure for landing, and monitor altitude, airspeed, and navigation aids during descent.

Before Approach:

Before initiating the approach phase, pilots review approach charts, configure aircraft systems for landing, and verify navigation settings for the selected approach procedure.
Key tasks include setting decision heights, configuring approach aids, and ensuring alignment with the runway.

Approach:

The approach phase of flight involves transitioning from the en-route phase to the final approach path for landing.
Pilots use instrument landing systems (ILS), autopilot modes, and visual references to guide the aircraft along the final approach course and establish a stabilized descent toward the runway.

Final & Landing:

The final approach and landing phase requires precise control and coordination to safely touchdown on the runway and bring the aircraft to a stop.
Pilots configure the aircraft for landing, disengage autopilot, and execute manual control inputs to flare and touchdown smoothly.

Xbox simmer here! I was debating whether or not to pull the trigger on the LVFR A330-900. This guide just convinced me, thank you very much for this. It'll keep me calm until I can get the 787 when premium deluxe has their annual sale, or better yet, maybe even until MSFS 2024 is out.

[zbakesmfs]

I just purchased this aircraft yesterday, and there are three main issues I am having:
1. Both of my display screens will not load correctly
2. The rudder is not cooperating
3. my AI autopilot refuses to work

any help on these? playing on xbox

[cmtefortes]

Thanks for putting this together.

There's just one thing I noticed I needed to do differently.

When syncing simbrief data, first need to sync fuel and payload and then sync flight plan. Otherwise, when it's syncing the flight plan it doesn't have payload/fuel information, therefore it won't be able to properly calculate TOD, impacting on not having VNAV properly working.

Thanks again!!
