In this segment of the video, the speaker shares their experience with flying a fully functional Airbus A320 in virtual reality (VR) in their living room using only motion controllers. They are new to simulators. They start the simulation by checking various switches and systems like battery voltage, APU, and engine fire tests. They enjoy the immersive VR experience, interact with cockpit controls, and prepare for takeoff by setting up the aircraft systems such as fuel pumps, seat belts, and flaps. The MCDU (Multi-Purpose Control and Display Unit) works well for flight setup. Finally, the speaker explains the engine startup process by setting the engine mode selector to ign start and moving the engine master switch from off to on.

In this segment of the video, the pilot checks the engine on the left side before taxiing to runway 25 R. They release the parking brake, stabilize the engines, and take off using motion controls. During the climb, they adjust the throttle and engage autopilot. In VR, the pilot demonstrates the interactive features of the cockpit, such as moving the table and exploring the cabin. As they begin the descent, the pilot highlights the immersive experience of virtual reality flying.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the pilot sets the altitude to 5000 and adjusts the speed to 210 knots during descent into Phoenix. They turn on the air conditioning for both themselves and passengers due to expected turbulence. The pilot makes a final left turn into the runway, turns on approach mode, and auto brakes. Despite initial high speed causing panic, they adjust speed, turn on air brakes, but forget to extend flaps for landing. The pilot plans to provide more commentary after landing.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker mentions having reached a target of 1000, with a minimum requirement. They count down from 50 to 10. The speaker expresses panic at some point during the landing process.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker describes a challenging experience landing a plane in virtual reality, but successfully lands in Phoenix. They invite viewers to comment for more content and express their excitement to play more. The speaker enjoyed the experience and looks forward to the next video.
