Stop Busting Altitudes — MD-80 Intermediate Level Off Tutorial | Leonardo MSFS 2024

Busting an altitude in the MD-80 doesn't have to happen. In just 6 minutes, learn the exact Intermediate Level Off technique used in real-world operations — now properly replicated in the Leonardo MD-80 20th Anniversary for MSFS 2024. The MD-80's autopilot logic is NOT like a glass cockpit aircraft. If you're managing ALT HOLD and VS modes out of sequence, you will overshoot your assigned altitude — every time. This tutorial breaks down the proper technique so you capture and hold altitudes with precision, just like the real crews did. ✈️ In this video: • What "Intermediate Level Off" means and why it matters • How the Leonardo MD-80 autopilot mode sequence works • Step-by-step altitude capture technique to stop busting altitudes • The most common mistake sim pilots make — and how to fix it 🛫 Fly it the right way.
