Airbus A-310 autopilot on climb

Well what exactly happens SabaruDave? Maybe we can help.

Make sure to be good on your weight and fuel planning first. Don’t just fill up the tanks and try to land it, big jets dont work like that so fuel planning is important.

Second. SHE’s a heavy girl meaning they have quite some difficulty with losing height vs. losing speed. Whenever she descents, gravity pulls and so speed goes up. It’s important to descent well in time with a big one like this. Get your flaps and gear in order some 10 miles DME the first few times and just watch it stabilize as you get accustomed to working with so much mass. THere’s no need to hurry things in the sim when you’re learning and trying to get comfortabel with new equipment. Hell, thats how pilots learn in real life too in a simulator, right? :slight_smile:
