I’m really enjoying flying the FBW A32NX. I have one element that I still do not understand. Here is how I do a flight at the moment:

  1. Plan flight using Simbrief using the FBW A32NX airframe;
  2. Locate flight in the A32NX flyPad
  3. Take off and switch on Autopilot
  4. Around 150 miles from the destination airport, I see ‘ENTER DEST DATA’ in the MCDU

This is the point I don’t really know what to do. I manage to get to the ARRIVALS page on the MCDU and select my runway. Beyond this point the screens confuse me (enter STARS?). Could someone explain in really simple terms what I should be doing at this point please, and what the thought/planning process should be to enter my arrivals data?

I am able to intercept the glidescope and do the landing and rollout. However, it’s the bit when I see ENTER DEST DATA and lining up for the approach that is totally confusing me!
