1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the NEO add-on to the ToLiss Airbus A321. This add-on will provide
you with the following additional functionality on top of the basic A321 package:
• Choice of two additional engine options, including external 3d models, engine specific
sounds, adapted thrust and fuel burn performance as well as engine-specific functionality
such as the “Dual Cooling” function for the Pratt and Whitney engines
• Fuel configurations and weight envelopes for the A321NEO, the A321LR, and the
A321XLR, including system specific changes such as the flap configuration changes on
the A321XLR.
• Choice of 3 additional exit configurations for the fuselage in line with the “Airbus Cabin
Flex” concept.
This aircraft manual will be focussed on the specificities of the NEO variants. Common aspects
of the CEO and the NEO variants of the A321 will be treated in the aircraft manual that ships
with the A321 base package.

In addition to the new engine options, there is a choice of 3 different variants of the Airbus
A321 NEO aircraft:
• A321 NEO – largely the same aircraft as the A321CEO, but with one of the two new
engines
• A321 LR – this configuration has bigger ACTs than the A321 NEO with an option of
a 3rd ACT in the forward cargo compartment. Maximum Take-off Weight is increased
over the A321NEO
• A321 XLR – this aircraft has significant changes from the A321NEO and the A321LR:
o A new permanent fuel tank: the rear Cargo Tank with higher capacity than the
2 removable ACTs in the aft cargo compartment of the A321NEO and A321LR.
o Single slotted inner fowler flaps instead of the regular double slotted flaps,
improving take-off performance
o Increased MTOW to 101t

2.2 Payload
With the A321 NEO, Airbus introduced the “Cabin Flex concept”. This concept allows for different
exit configurations to better match the number of available emergency exits to the maximum number of
passengers in the aircraft.
In the ToLiss A321 NEO, the maximum number of passengers therefore depends on the exit
configuration that you choose:

A321 NEO 18511 2 2348 -
A321 LR 18511 3 2450 -
A321 XLR 18511 1 2450 10126
Note: The fuel mass is computed assuming a density of 0.785kg/l
The ToLiss Airbus A321 allows configuration the number of Additional Cargo Tanks from none
to the maximum values in the above table via the ISCS, tab A/C configuration.
Note that the 3rd ACT in the A321 LR and the ACT in the A321 XLR are located in the
forward cargo compartment.
2.4 Range
As per Airbus’ website, the range of the different NEO configuration is as follows:
• A321 NEO: 4000NM
• A321 LR: Also 4000NM, but with more payload than the A321NEO – the LR can
transport more payload the same distance as the A321 NEO.
• A321 XLR: 4700NM

Simulation Solutions
The cooling is performed fully automatically. Upon engine start, the engine will be cranked at
about 10% N2 until the cooling time has expired. Once cooling time is expired, the regular engine
start sequence will continue.
To reduce the engine startup time in regular operations, Airbus has introduced a DUAL cooling
feature, which can be activated via a dedicated switch in the overhead panel:

Simulation Solutions
When both engines completed the start procedure, perform the following:
• Set Engine mode selector switch to position “NORM”.
• Set Dual Cooling to OFF
Note: The dual cooling function is not available above 7000ft and it is also not available at
extreme hot or cold temperatures.

Simulation Solutions
In the ToLiss Airbus A321, this is simulated by both updating the visual representation of the
flap as well as reducing the flap drag coefficient such that the single engine climb performance for
Take-Offs with 101t matches the certification requirements.
Note also that on the A321LR and A321XLR, the maximum speed with flaps/slats in position
1 (VFE1) is increased by five knots to 243kts.
3.3 Avionics
• ECAM indications:
o E/WD shows the bleed configuration (while on ground or if at least one engine is
at MCT thrust or above)
o E/WD shows cooling information for PW1130G engine, as applicable
o A new ECAM caution message has been added in case the DUAL COOLING button
is pressed when the Dual Cooling function is not available.
• PFD indications:
o Indication of Auto Brake Armed and Active status in the FMA, as well as DECEL
indication under the speed tape
o Use of RADIO and BARO instead of DH and MDA for the minima during the
approach
o Indication of the descent profile deviation in 100s of feet, if the green circle is at the
top or the bottom of the altitude scale
o FCU altitude target is indicated in white, if the aircraft is in a mode in which the
FCU altitude is not respected, i.e. in modes G/S*, G/S, LAND, FINAL, FLARE or
ROLLOUT
On the A321 NEO aircraft, Airbus’ xLS option has been installed. This gives additional guidance
methods for final approach. Depending on the selected approach type, the pilot can configure the
aircraft to fly either an ILS approach, an RNAV approach and an RNP(AR) approach as was the
case on the A321 CEO. With xLS option, the following new approach types are available:

Simulation Solutions
• GLS – GBAS Landing System: Very similar to ILS approaches, but the aircraft position
is determined via differential GPS with a ground station. The landing system beam are
virtual references computed from the runway threshold. This approach type permits
Autoland and is also available on the ToLiss Airbus A321CEO from V1.3.
• SLS – SBAS Landing System: This is similar to GLS approaches with the key difference
that the differential GPS information is provided via satellite. Autoland is NOT
permitted in this case and the Autopilot must be disconnected at the relevant minimum.
• FLS – FMS Landing System: This system uses similar indications as ILS, GLS and SLS,
however it is NOT a precision landing system. The FMGS uses it’s own position without
augmentation to compute the lateral deviation from the runway center line and displays
it in a localizer type fashion on the PFD. It also computes a glide slope relative to the
runway threshold. The deviations to this glide slope are calculated based on the
barometric altitude.
Important note: The accuracy of this mode is not better than the old FINAL APP
mode. Especially vertical guidance depends on correct QNH setting, otherwise you will
come in too high or too low.
