Hi everybody.
Do you know how to reduce the climb rate of the A320 After take off ?
It sometimes climbs at 5000 or 6000 fpm …
I use the msfs 2020 flight plan system then change the default speed in the fmc and fill missed data .
By the way, is there a way to get smoother turn with autopilot just After take off ? It so brutal
Thank you
As far as the vertical speed, take it out of managed mode and select your vertical speed.
Yes, the initial turn is steep, particularly if the flightpath is 180 degrees the other direction. I tend to hand fly it until I get on track and then turn on the AP. I don’t believe the A320 has a half bank setting like Boeing aircraft.
Why do you want a lower rate of climb? In real life, you take off, set thrust to CLB and accept whatever rate of climb you get, the more the better becasue it means you get to your cruising altitude quicker. If you have a low level off, like 5000’, you can set a vertical speed but you need to make sure you’ve set CLB thrust otherwise the autothrust won’t be active and won’t respect your speed selection. Vertical speed mode is generally only used for short term purposes, you wouldn’t do your whole climb or descent in VS.
Ok, will take note of those advices
Thank you
It does look insane from the pilots and chase cam perspective but it’s probably about right. I live not too far from the end of a runway and to see how high an A320 gets by the time it gets to where I have visual is mind boggling. Barely has its gear tucked away and already would be above many tall skyscrapers you could name.
Don’t get me started on a Dash 8’s AoA, you’d be surprised what they pull off.
Is this climb has to do something with the cost index ? . I Set it to 60 .
I didn’t try with 100
No it doesn’t. It’s just a mathematic figure worked out to do with running costs and fuel burn but doesn’t actually mean anything to us in this case because we don’t pay for fuel or have airport fees, maintenance costs etc. It has nothing to do with how it performs in the way your thinking. There is Youtube vids about it, its just deeper technical business garb really.
Cost index affects the speed, but it’s not a huge change from one to the other and only affects the final climb speed, ie above 10000 feet. I don’t think it’s even modelled on the Asobo 320.
I will try and let you know
The default A320 rate of open climb is too high, as average rate of initial climb in for IRL Airbus climb profile is maybe 2500 to 3000 feet per minute up to 5000 AGL depending on weight and speed. 5000 to 6000 fpm is more like empty business jet territory, and even that is on the higher end of things.
That’s m’y thought top !!
