Support

How we can support you

We provide two forms of support for the iniBuilds A310-300.

1. Ticket System/Email: Visit inibuilds.com/contact for information on how to contact us through

email and submit a support ticket. Our team aims to respond as soon as possible, however

please allow up to 48 hours for your ticket to be answered.

2. The iniBuilds Forum: Visit forum.inibuilds.com to gain access our community forum. Here you

can interact with both iniBuilds’ team members, along with other users of the product to obtain

support. Utilizing the iniBuilds Forum may allow for a quicker form of support compared to

opening a support ticket.

Important Notes

• When first loading the A310-300 aircraft into the simulator you will experience a delay

whilst the files build. This is perfectly normal and only occurs on the first loading, please

be patient. Subsequent loading is faster.

• In the MSFS Graphics Settings menu, please ensure Shadows Maps are set to 2048 to

avoid flickering shadows.

• It is recommended that you set the Reverse Thrust setting in MSFS to Axis. Please note

that when you make a change to this setting in the EFB menu, you will need to reload for

the setting to take effect.

• Our version of the A310 sadly has a few limited GPWS callouts, including “too low flaps”

and “too low terrain”. This is due to the A310 having to use the in-sim terrain data. This

data is limited in accessibility and therefore prevents us from adding these callouts.

• For the most accurate performance calculations, you should complete your calculation

whilst parked at your departure airfield.

Standard Operating Procedures

Preface

FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY - DESIGNED FOR SINGLE-PILOT OPERATIONS

This guide is designed to help provide a straightforward set of instructions to aid in operating

the iniBuilds A310-300. It has been produced using multiple real-world A300 and A310

Operator manuals from various dates and airlines, with modifications to various procedures

to make them more manageable under single-pilot operations as well as in multi-crew

scenarios.

PHOTOSENTIVE SEIZURE WARNING

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual

images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people

who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can

cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while playing video games.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any symptoms.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision,

eye or face twitching, jerking, or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or

momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or

convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms. Children and

teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

You may reduce risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures by taking the following precautions:

•

Play in a well-lit room.

•

Do not play if you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before

playing video games.

Cockpit Interaction

Some knobs within the cockpit have interaction where you can push, pull, or scroll them for

certain functions.

On the PC, left click the knob and push the mouse for “push” interaction and pull the mouse for

“pull” interaction whilst holding the mouse button down. Some functions also may have middle-

mouse button “scroll” or right-mouse click “set” functions.

On the Xbox, press A to interact with the knob and use A to “push”, X to “pull” Right Stick to

“scroll” and B to finish the interaction.

EFB and Checklists

There is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) located on either side of the cockpit (Captain and First

Officer) which is intrinsically linked to the aircraft Flight Management System (FMS). It is also

linked to some core simulator functions like requesting the jetway, requesting ground power,

setting default aircraft spawn states, etc. Simply click the Menu buttons on the left to navigate the

pages.

Whilst this guide offers comprehensive procedures and checklists, there are handy procedures

checklists built within the simulator which can be found from the top-of-screen drop down menu

and selecting the Checklist option.

Some items within the in-sim checklist have a drop down for sub functions, simply click the blue

down arrow to open them.

Clicking the blue eye icon to the right of the checklist item will switch your view to the correct

panel where the button/switch/dial/gauge is located.

You can use the TICK ITEM option to tick off the item from the checklist as handy reference.

Operations and Techniques

This Section outlines the procedures and techniques required to operate the A310 safely and

efficiently through all phases of flight and in select abnormal or emergency situations.

The sections are divided up as follows:

Normal Checklist: To be used to Confirm procedures have been completed correctly in prior

flows. Used inflight.

Simplified Procedures: Condensed description of flows for quick reference. Normally actions

are committed to memory, with this guide as a quick revision tool.

Expanded Procedures: Full explanation of procedures, flows, and techniques, for total

understanding of aircraft operations. Normally memorised with simplified procedures used to

revise.

Supplementary Procedures: Additional procedures and techniques which may be used in day-

to-day operation of the aircraft but may not be required for every flight. Will usually be briefed

from full procedure description when required.

Emergency/Abnormal Procedures: A selection of procedures to ensure safe management of

certain emergency or abnormal situations that may arise. Section to be used in conjunction with

ECAM, QRH etc.

180 Turn on Runway Technique

A standard runway is 45m wide. This procedure is recommended as the most efficient way

to achieve a turn within the runway width.

Captain’s side:

● Taxi on the right-hand side of the runway until about 150m from the end.

● Turn left approximately 25° from the runway centreline

● When the captain’s seat is physically over the runway edge, quickly apply full right

nose wheel deflection, and introduce some thrust on engine 1 (up to 50% N1).

● Maintain the turn until facing the intended direction. The nose wheel will remain about

2m from the runway edge, and the main gear 3m from the edge. There will be about

a 7m clearance to the other edge of the runway.

Copilot’s side:

● Taxi on the left-hand side of the runway until about 150m from the end.

● Turn right approximately 25° from the runway centreline

● When the captain’s seat is physically over the runway edge, quickly apply full left

nose wheel deflection, and introduce some thrust on engine 2 (up to 50% N1).

● Maintain the turn until facing the intended direction. The nose wheel will remain about

2m from the runway edge, and the main gear 3m from the edge. There will be about

a 7m clearance to the other edge of the runway.

Zero-g Parabola Technique

The aim of this maneouvre is to fly a parabolic arc, throughout which there will be a period of

microgravity (zero g). In performing this manoeuvre, the aircraft will be pushed close to its limits,

but proper execution will ensure safe operation within bounds.

It is recommended to fly the zero-g parabola in visual conditions and directly into the wind.

Before initiating the zero-g parabola, the aircraft should be straight and level at 20,000ft, VMO-10

KTS (approx. 330 KTS), in clean configuration. It is recommended to have the flight directors in

ALT HLD and HDG modes, and ATHR on throughout. Engine start selector should be in CONT

RELIGHT.

To enter the parabola, disconnect AP (if engaged) and begin a smooth pitch-up action of

approximately 2.5° - 3° per second, or between +1.5g and +1.8g. Continue until the pitch attitude

is approximately 47°.

Upon reaching maximum pitch, smoothly reverse the pitch trend and begin to pitch down at

approximately 4° per second, maintaining +/- 0.05g. This is the section of the manoeuvre in

which the aircraft is on a parabolic trajectory and experiencing microgravity.

After 22 seconds, or when the pitch attitude is about 42° below the horizon, begin to recover the

aircraft and exit the parabola, Again maintaining between +1.5g and +1.8g or 2.5° - 3° per

second, pitch up slowly back to level flight. Approaching normal flight, follow flight directors to

return to initial conditions.

Emergency/Abnormal Procedures

Rejected Takeoff

Speed plays a significant part in determining whether to reject a takeoff in a given

circumstance.

Below 100 kts, takeoff may be rejected for any reason, and should be seriously considered if

any ECAM caution or warning is activated.

Above 100kts and below V1, rejecting takeoff is a more serious matter and should only be

taken for very few serious causes such as an indication of fire or significant damage, a

sudden loss of engine thrust, ECAM warnings that are not inhibited, or any other condition in

which it is unclear whether the aircraft can fly safely.

Above V1, takeoff must be continued as it may be impossible to stop the aircraft safely within

the remaining runway length.

When stopping, consider positioning the aircraft according to wind so that any fire is blown

away from the fuselage.

CONFIGURATION

CHECK / AS REQUIRED

Confirm Gear, Slats/Flaps, Speed brakes are all set to intended positions.

PITCH ATTITUDE AND N1

CHECK TABLE / ADJUST

Use tables below to determine pitch/power settings for continued flight.

USE OF FPV

CONSIDER

FPV is based on AoA and may provide useful performance indications.

GROUND SPEED

MONITOR

Ground speed output is based on INS data and will be accurate. May provide useful

indication of speed.

AIR SPEED INDICATIONS

CHECK FOR MOST RELIABLE INDICATION

Compare air speed indicators and attempt to identify which, if any, may be reliable.

ADC INSTRUMENT SWITCHING

CONSIDER

If a reliable instrument is identified, ADC instrument switching may be used to recover

accurate airspeed indications on some or all instruments.
