The Airbus A300-600 is a medium- to long-range twin-engine widebody jet airliner. Entering Service in 1983, it was a significant upgrade of the A300B, the first aircraft created by Airbus, the consortium of European aerospace companies, which is now amalgamated into one company, Airbus Group. The A300-600 has the same fuselage as the original A300, the first twin-engined widebody airliner, but uses A310 tail section and engines. Other differences include using wingtip fences and a two-crew (first ever), glass cockpit.
Autopilot help
To use the Autopilot, first set your values, (Speed, Heading, etc.) These can be set using the knobs on the glare shield, or by using the dialog box. After takeoff turn on the AP master switch, and then arm which ever mode you want. Recommended modes are V/S (engaged by clicking the V/S knob or the LVL/CH button) and Heading (engaged with the HDG button). Note that if the LVL/CH light is on V/S mode is not necessarily engaged, it also comes on when ever the AP is climbing or Descending.
The landing system is a little different in the A300, what would normally be LOC mode is called V/L. Pressing V/L will engaged Nav1 Localizer hold and the LAND button engages Glideslope hold. Also note that LAND mode will not climb so engaging LAND mode while still under the G/S is safe :)
