IntroductionThis manual was made to inform the A320 pilots how they should proceedand what steps they have to do before entering the airplane. Like in real life,all pilots comply with very important procedures before going in the aircraft,like, checking the flight plan and meteorology.So if you read this manual, certainly your flight will run more safely and moreenjoyable.In this manual you will find the most important steps to take before flight.Flight PlanningThe first thing pilots should do, once they receive their assignment, is to get aFlight Plan for the respective flight. It’s not easy for a virtual pilot to get agood one with all needed information. Now I’ll show you how to get andunderstand a very professional flight plan for flight simulation. Go to www.pmflightplanner.com and register yourself to start working inthe website. All Pilots can access in this site to a list of SATAInternational flight plans.Just login with the company user name and password and go to FPL List.There you have many Flight Plans. Using this way you will not have tocreate any flight plan. Just download and print it, then proceed to yourflight briefing.If you don’t understand how this site works please read the A310 ChiefPilot – João Caracol tutorial, pages 4 to 10, in A310 Pre-FlightProcedures Manual n.html Another excellent website to find a good Flight Plan, only if youdeparture or arrive to Portugal is Portugal VACC system:http://fmu.portugal-vacc.org/pede rota.asp4

FPL-RZO129-ISThis is the flight Plan for SATA International, ICAO code RZO, flightnumber 129, with Instrument Flight Rules – IFR (I) and a type of flightindicating scheduled Air Transport (S).2. A320/M-SDHIRWXY/CAircraft type, that is a Airbus A320;Wake turbulence category (M) – Medium (aircraft with a maximumcertificated takeoff weight of less than 136.000 kg, but more than 7.000kg);Communication and Navigation Equipment (SDHIRWXY/C), explainedabove in Flight Plan Form.3. LPPT1910ICAO code for the departure airport (Lisbon) at time 19:10h.4. N0450F370 BUSEN LPPD0200 LPAZ LPLAThis is the route, altitude and speed.N0450 is 450 knots True Air Speed (TAS); M078 is Mach number 0,78.F370 is flight level 370 or 37000 feets of altitude.DCT is the short form for direct.7

LPPD0200 is the ICAO code for the destination airport (João Paulo IIAirport at Ponta Delgada) and 0200 is the flight time.LPAZ and LPLA are the two alternate airports.5. EET/LPPO0044 DOF/040119 ORGN/RPLEstimated Enroute Time is 44 minutes to Santa Maria Flight InformationRegion (FIR) [LPPO] or KOMUT that is one of the entry/exitintersections of LPPO. The rest are remarks such as aircraft registration,selcal, day of flight, etc.If you can’ t find, in the sites above, a good flight plan, please contact me atleneoandrade@satavirtual.org and we will get one!Sending Flight Plan to VatsimWhen you have all the information needed to start your flight go tohttp://www.vatsim.net - File Flight Plan – Here is the place where the pilotfile and send the flight plan to the network. Another way to do it is directly onSquawkBox. There are some important subjects here that I would like to refer.The first one is how to file the flight level. The right way is with an F on thebeginning, for example F350. That’ s the same that 35000 feets of altitude.Then the remarks field shall be:REG/CSxxx SEL/yyyy CALLSIGN/AIR AZORESINTERNATIONAL RMK/TCAS EQUIPPEDzzzOPR/SATAxxx is the last 3 aircraft’ s registration letters, yyyy is the aircraft’ s selcal andzzz is the flight number. And that’ s all about sending flight plan to VATSIM.8

Briefing1. As you know, briefing a flight is fundamental. After completing the flightplan procedure, you will check if everything is ok for the flight. Forexample, if the trip fuel is corresponding or revising LDW (LandingWeight), check if the LDW is not being exceeded, etc. So the first step ofbriefing is checking the flight plan.2. The second step is Meteorology. In virtual SATA International briefingpage at l you’ ll findMETAR’ s, TAF’ s short TAF’ s and Meteo charts for your flight, like,Satellite Pictures; cruising level OAT and Winds enroute.9

Final CommentsThis manual does not mean that you don’t have to read odder manuals. This isbasic information about virtual SATA International A320 Pre-FlightProcedures. To complete your knowledge about this aircraft and Pre-flightprocedures you should read much more literature that you can find in theinternet, bookstores and in the VA web site.The A320 fleet wish all pilots to have fun inside our company, alwaysrespecting all the intervenients of the Virtual Aviation. Fly efficiently and themost realistic possible.The A320 Fleet wish to thank: Pedro Sousa and João Caracol for the help and support. All SATA Virtual Group Pilots.
