Wilco Airbus Series Created by Carsten Rau (www.CarstenRau.de) Page 1

Attention:
1) You need a saved Flight with the aircraft parked at parking position and
parking break set!
If you don’t have such a flight you won’t be able to load the aircraft in Dark
& Cold mode. So create such a flight, set the parking break and save it.
For every new flight, set D&C in the configurator, load the flight and then
change the location the desired airport.
2) Auto-Functions in FMC are only available in Beginner and Intermediate
mode (configurator).
3) Intermediate mode is recommended as IRS alignment otherwise takes 10
minutes.
4) Thrust levers (e.g. CH Throttle Quadrant) have to be calibrated in special
way for the Wilco Airbus Series, because FLEX and TO/GA detents can’t be
reached otherwise. When calibrating set the max forward position about
1cm behind the normal max forward position. With the configuration you
can push the Airbus Series thrust levers over the 100% manual thrust
position to reach FLEX and TO/GA detents. Alternate method: Use keyboard
for t/o thrust setting and use throttles only for taxi and manual approach.
