X-Plane 11 - Using Air Traffic Control

Hello everyone and welcome to another x

plane

11 tutorial. I already showed you how to use the air

traffic

control

feature, however, I did it

using

the beta version of xplain 11, so now that xplain 11 is in the final version, I would like to show it to you again. Take it very slowly so you can go step by step and follow it. I'm in Los Angeles at khhr airport and I would like to make a very short flight to K and land on runway 25, so let's press enter and I'll file a flight plan so my departure is already set up.

The arrival will be KLA Ax and we will fly at 5000 feet or we will ask to at least fly at 5000 feet. The path is optional, so if I have a specific path. that I would like to fly, I can enter it, but it is not necessary. Actually, I would like to enter a specific route because I want to land on runway 25, so if you look at me on the map, I'm here. We're going to fly a little bit back parallel to where we came from and then we're going to go up to waypoint E and then we're going to fly straight to L mm a and then we can start our ILS descent, so I'll go in. those two waypoints and I'll press file.

I will now request an altimeter November 1 72 Sierra Papa kilo hotel hotel Romeo alimer 2 niner niner 2 and reread the transmission kilo hotel hotel Romeo altimer 2 Niner ner November 2 172 sier Papa You will notice that the yellow text means they are talking to me. There are other

plane

s in this airspace, so there will be various colors on the screen. If you see something that says turn 180 and it is green. They're not actually talking to me, they're talking to another plane, so let's go ahead and request clearance for our November flight 172. Sierra Papa approved IFR 2 kilos Lima alpha let's enter 4704 and select that's our squawk, which is a radar identifier so the air

traffic

control

ler can See me on the map and the next thing was an altitude of 3000 feet, so I need to make sure that when I get to 3000 I'm left at 3000 until Air Traffic Control tells me otherwise, so let's go ahead and ask permission to take the taxi at the takeoff of the tour.

Runway 172 November Sierra Papa Runway 25 taxi via Sierra wait before runway 25 Runway 25 taxi via Sierra wait before 25 November 17 to Sierra Papa okay, I'm going to release the brakes and we'll use the rudder to start turning ourselves November 172 Sierra Papa contact tower on 12 1.1 now we will communicate with the tower and ask for permission to take off contact tower on 1 2 1.1 November 1 72 Sierra Papa power November 172 Sierra Papa November 172 Sierra Papa fly heading 1 18 0 Runway 25 clear for takeoff heading 1 18 0 Runway 2 5 cleared for takeoff Nov 1 72 Sierra Papa okay, so the next important thing is that they told us to fly on a heading of 180, so we go to our heading error here and set it to 180 here . going south is a Z.

The next thing we're going to do is bring the autopilot closer here. I'm going to turn on heading error so it flies on the heading I selected and a vertical speed of 800 feet per minute now when I get up in the air and clear the runway, I'll enable autopilot via a keypad command and then we'll be on our way. , so let's go ahead and take off at 60 knots, we will stop well and now that the runway is clear, activate the autopilot and return to course 180 November 172 Sierra POA contact center at 1 33.2 and we will continue forward and contact the new contact tower C on one 3 3.2 November 1 72 Centro Sierra Papa November 1 72 Sierra Papa November 1 72 Sierra Papa kilo hotel hotel Romeo alimer 2 Niner ner 2 kilo Romeo alimer 2 niner niner 2 November 1 7 2 Sierra Papa November 172 Sierra Papa flies heading 16 Z Vectors for visual Track 25 left up and hold 2000 ok now we have to turn to a heading of 160 so let's go to our heading error, we will read the trans 6 vectors for visual runway 2 5 left to 2000 November 1 72 Sierra Papa and we'll also notice the altitude change up to 2000 in a second here, okay. as we get closer to 2,000 we'll select the altitude button here on the autopilot, there we go and we'll start slowing down a little bit.

On November 17 to Sierra Papa we will fly heading 070. Very good, now we will fly. 0172 November. Sierra Papa for November 03 x-ray popup and heading 03 so see how that is in green that means it is for another air e November 03 x-ray popup and heading 0 2 0 descend and hold 3,000 heading 02 0 up to 3,000 November 03 x-ray Papa s november 02 x-ray Papa november 0 2 x-ray Papa y heading 3 4 0 heading 3 4 0 november 0 2 40 November 0 2 x-ray popup resume navigation navigation November 02 x-ray popup heading 3 4 0 November 1 72 Sierra Papa November 03 x-ray popup and heading 0 7 0 descend and hold 3,000 heading 07 0 up to 3,000 November 3 X-ray Papa so we can see KX here we are starting to align main level we go down very soon to flight level 1 Niner 0 November 2 0 heading 3 4 0 November 03 and heading 280 heading 2 80 November 3 X-ray POA once we reach our final approach.

I'm going to go ahead and activate the navigation and approach buttons. If you look at this, it is set to navigation mode, not GPS. and I already went ahead and selected this particular track and said tuned to navigation one so my ILS is all set up there. Now I'm so once I get close to limma I'll just automatically activate the navigation approach and start an Auto Land

using

ILS Nov 03 X-ray POA and heading 250 0 report field in sight heading 2 5 0 we'll call field 03 November November Sierra Papa and then I went ahead and activated the navigation and approach functions which will automatically help me land on runway 25 3 Niner contact tower on 13 3 Niner November 172 Sierra Papa so now I am adjusting my flaps and my speed to 90 knots Nov 0 3 X-ray popup Runway 2 5 left M land Runway 2 5 cleared for landing Nov 3 X-ray popup countering a little turbulence here November 172 Sierra Papa, are you with me power?

November 172 Sierra Papa, that was tremendously kind of the big jet in front of me, give me that big jet w way November 0 1 x-ray pop-up contact center at 13 3.2 contact center at 1332 November 0 1 x-ray Papa here we come , stable No 1 72 Sierra Papa Runway 25 left M land Runway 2 on the left cleared to land November 172 Sierra Papa November 0 3 It looks like things have stabilized now that the plane has landed. Look, the flops are down. We're slow enough for a safe landing when we get to about 200 feet. I'll disengage autopilot. Okay, disengage autopilot. November 1 7 2 Taxi at Sierra Papa gate through 2 top left call Alpha okay everyone there you have it they're using air traffic control to uh.

Flying between two different airports, as you can see the AI ​​is sometimes a bit buggy and the air traffic controller allows a large plane to pass by me at the end of the queue, causing a bit of turbulence. You'll also notice that sometimes the arrows aren't completely aligned with the intersection you need to turn at, but overall it's a pretty cool feature, so if you don't want to go ahead and create a flight plan and want to follow the controller, a feature that you can use I hope everyone learned something from this particular video and if you have any questions, please write them in the comments below and subscribe to my channel.

I hope you learned something from this video. Have a nice day.
