So that Button sould be removed, and insert a new "Push Knobs". The A380-800, the passenger model, is the largest passenger airliner in the world, superseding the Boeing 747, but has a shorter fuselage than the Airbus A340-600which is Airbus' next biggest passenger aeroplane. I've written up a draft tutorial on the A380 in the flightgear wiki, it might also help you understand the Airbus autopilot a bit more, I really need to spend some more time updating that, it's really only half done. The A380 is offered in passenger and freighter versions. 0 7 1 (1 issue needs help) 0 Updated on Sep 14, 2022.

The FMS then assumes that you don't want to go to the planned next waypoint, so it doesn't know what distance you want to travel over before you meet the altitude constraint, so it can't managed the descent profile, it will then go into what is called "Open Descent" mode, so it will use the speed (managed or selected) to work out at what vertical speed to descend at to meet the required IAS.

The tricky part is when you have some knobs in Managed Mode and some knobs in Selected Mode.įor example if you are in managed mode for speed, heading and altitude and you start your descent, what happens when you pull the heading knob and change from the course that the FMS has plotted. The Airbus autopilot is really very simple to remember, each of the four knobs across the FCU can be either in "Managed Mode", that is the flight management system will look after it, or if you pull the knob it is in "Selected Mode", that is the number the pilot dials up is what it will do. Tested mainly on Linux & Occulus, HTC vive (as at mid 2022).

That is unless you want to use up maybe a WHOLE 1 Tb hard drive, because if people like Thorsten had the time no doubt they could all write the code, but the whole Flightgear program would more than likely become so huge it would take an average broadband line 2 days to download.If you have a look at the A380, you'll see that the "LNAV" mode is engaged by pushing the HDG knob, this is called Managed Mode in Airbus speak.

#A380 FLIGHTGEAR ILS MANUAL#
Airbus X Autoland A380 Manual collection is very comprehensive.

The plane with the most accurate A/P I have found so far is the 777 variant, But saying that even that is not perfect, when doing an ILS when it comes to pick up the G/S it will do a slight nose nose dive to pick it up, even if you are already at the G/S height.So the 380 is not the only plane with ILS "niggles".But saying that we all get used to the minor issues after all nothing can be absolutely perfect.
