Loaded is a panel state representing the condition the pilots would normally find the aircraft in when boarding on a transit stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites. PHXMD E6BAV8R Aww, that sucks. Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to it. Thanks all. BlueLemon 0. Posted February 3, Uploaded with ImageShack. Remember to load your desired panel state before you load up the plane from the loadmanager.

Good luck and have fun, it is a marvellous plane! The MD's version of these modes are accessed by either pushing the heading knob to hold current heading, or pulling the knob to fly the selected heading in the box. It will climb or descend and capture the altitude in the window.

Pushing the speed knob will hold the current airspeed, pulling it will fly the selected speed in the window, and pressing the FMS button will blank the window and allow the FMS to command speed.

The FMS is smart and if you tell it to descend steeply and decelerate at the same time, the deceleration will get moved backwards along the route to account for the decent that's required later on. Don't be alarmed if you see this propagation of lower speeds up into waypoints you didn't set restrictions for, it's just the airplane helping you manage your energy.

Boeing pilots will be used to exercising manual control over the aircraft's speed during approach by using the MCP speed window. It is completely normal for the MD to land with the speed window closed and under full FMS control. The FMS calculates approach speed on the basis of a few rules during the approach sequence, each distance listed is the point during the approach where these speed reductions must occur by, but they can occur earlier if calculations demand it.

The aircraft will automatically decelerate to these speeds provided you have the aircraft configured correctly as far as flap settings. You will see a hollow magenta circle on the speed tape indicating that it's time to deploy the next flap setting. Provided you are tuned to an ILS frequency that contains both a localizer and glideslope, which is done automatically by the FMS the plane will execute an autoland unless you take over manually.

To close the FCP pop-up left-click the arrow-symbol 6 to the right of the vertical speed selector. You are now ready for departure. Before you release the parking brake to line up left-click the compass to open the lower overhead panel.

Take-Off The following steps not only tell you what to set and when, they also mention important things you have to observe during take-off. All these events will happen pretty fast so it is strongly advisable to read the take-off part thoroughly once before attempting departure. Because things will happen fast, and so will your tasks, we will engage the autopilot at the minimum height of ft.

Climb thrust will be activated ft above ground, acceleration and flap retraction will follow at an altitude of feet. Advance the throttle levers to approx.

At that point the take-off mode will engage and auto-thrust will move the thrust levers to the take-off thrust setting. Passing V1 you will hear a callout, same for Vr. As soon as the altimeter is rising left-click the landing gear lever 6 or press the G key to retract the landing gear. Maintain this until passing acceleration altitude. Note: During the whole climb phase speed is maintained by pitch only, so following the pitch bar of the flight director is essential to maintain the required speed.

A blue AP1 or AP2 12 will indicate the autopilot engaged. Passing the acceleration altitude of ft the FMS speed bug 15 moves up to start acceleration. As soon as the aircraft is accelerating away from the flap retraction speed green -FR marking 16 you may retract the flaps by pressing the F6 key.

Accelerating through the slat retraction speed green -SR marking - 18 you may retract the slats by pressing the F6 key again. The aircraft will level off at ft. Due to an SID restriction further climb will be postponed for some miles. Giving you enough time for the after take-off- or climb-flow. Climb Flying along the SID at ft there are some items to do. While most systems configure themselves for the actual flight phase there are some that need manual setup.

For climb and cruise VOR auto-tuning normally is sufficient. Having the station name and frequency in small font 3 means both VOR receivers are tuning their stations automatically. As soon as the altitude restriction is cleared the FMA altitude of ft is no longer magenta 2 , indicating this altitude is no longer consistent with the vertical profile.

The rate of climb will reduce to accelerate to this speed. Above FL the landing light is no longer required. The estimated point of level-off is indicated by a blue arrow 1. Cruise The aircraft will level off at FL As this is a short cruise phase only the FMC displays time and distance to the descent point already 2. So far our route ends right at the airport reference fix, not something the FMS can do any approaches with.

Entering the desired arrival-, approach- and ILS-procedures is a quick thing to do. Do NOT add this to the destination waypoint. Back on the flight plan page you may scroll down using the up-arrow to have a look at all the waypoints for the selected STAR and approach. Descent After a short cruise phase you will be seeing the top of descent point appearing on your ND.

Time to go into the descent phase. The aircraft will start to descend once overflying the arrow, this is where the descent path starts. On the FCP lower the altitude to ft 2 , this is the altitude we will be capturing the glideslope later on. Do NOT push or pull the altitude selector. The predicted landing weight is shown in the right column at line 1 4.

Final approach speed is displayed at line 5 3. Speed will however be maintained by the FMS until touchdown. This STAR has two altitude restrictions 1. Should you reach these altitudes before overflying the corresponding waypoint the aircraft will level off and continue the descent after passing the waypoint.

Should you deem it necessary to reduce the speed to the commanded value you may at your discretion use speedbrakes to do so. To activate click on one of the three available detents 3. For this flight this is not necessary. The STAR leaves enough room for the airplane to decelerate. Note that the autopilot will level off at FL should you be above kts at this time.

Once reaching that speed descent will continue automatically. The aircraft will no longer follow the flight plan route but instead the localiser beam from the ILS. Lower the landing gear. Wait until you are ft above ground as indicated by the radio altimeter on the PFD. At that time you should have the following PFD indications: Speed steady at the final approach speed 3. Flaps 35 indication 5. Green box at the centre of the EAD alert area 6. Otherwise your aircraft may go full thrust when flaring!

As soon as you hear the airplane touching down press the F2-key once. This will activate idle reverse. Check the reverse activating on the EAD. Press and hold F2 until the engines are at full reverse.
