control (ATC) uses metric altitudes. So you could be given a clearance to climb to 3000 meters and
thanks to the metric altitude display you don't have to guess how many feet that is.
100/1000 ft Ring
Behind the altitude knob there is a ring that can be set to the left or right to change the increments of
the altitude selector between 100 and 1000 feet.
A320 MCDU Introduction
The Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) is the interface to the flight management
computer, which computes the flight plan. In this tutorial we're going to setup a flight plan from
Sacramento Intl. (KSMF) to San Francisco Intl. (KSFO) similar to the beginner tutorial above. But this
time we're only going to use the cockpit interfaces and not the simulator's menus.
But first we'll provide a brief overview of the MCDU. The Aerofly FS 2 A320 MCDU mainly behaves like
the real world counterpart. Some functions are not available yet but this can be change in the future.
Pages in the MCDU include for example the Direct-To page, Progress, Performance, Init, Data, Flight-
Plan, Radio-Navigation, Fuel-Prediction, Secondary Flight-Plan, ATC Communications, MCDU Menu.
