Where are you from, Flavio?
God willing, I will try out your flight tonight. I'm looking forward to it because I do not recognize the airports and have no idea in what part of the world I will be in. (Although PANC rings a very tiny bell.) Since I assume you have the necessary procedure charts, would it be a bother to have you send them to me via email? I think you can do that here. My flight: UHMA to PANC - FL310. BUMUL G212 YUREE H201 OME J111 MIGAN SID: BUMUL - STAR: TAGER5.MIGAN So would a fair test be to set it up and just let the airplane fly automated the whole way? There's a lot to work with in the FMC, I agree, and I don't know that I have come anywhere close to exhausting the features. LNAV / VNAV, holds, calculated vspeeds & flap settings, ILS info... that's what I can think of off the top of my head. One thing I've seen on other FMCs is a page to do with climb and cruise performance. Have I just missed it? (I am ashamed to admit it, but I still have yet to read that part of the manual, although I have read the other parts.) The FMC CG is wrong, I believe. 5.75 trim is too much, because the first thing I have to do after take off is trim nose down or I start heading for the moon. Also a/c rotates by itself, depriving me of the fun. A suggestion was CG 40 trim 4.5. I'm going to try that, too. Apparently, you can count the ticks on the payload page in sim and convert roughly to a scale of 1-100 %, too, to arrive at your real CG. This will be the next issue I'll be looking into. Besides the functionality, the one thing I really like about the FMC is how easily it imports FS flight plans and saves company routes. For whatever reason, others seem to turn this process into something of a dark art, requiring special names, etc. if they do it at all. |
