Hi Juan,
to answer your question first - some airports have sids and stars and some airports don´t.
As for programming the fmc, it´s pretty straightforward. Here´s a little overview on how to do it (but don´t blame me for any mishaps, if I forgot something
)
You start with the position page entering your current position or airport, then go on to the route page and enter your departure and arrival airport´s codes.
If you already have a route stored, you can load it by pushing the "send request" button or LSK (line select key)
This also applies for Flightsimulator generated flightplans, so if you manage to build a Flightplan with the FS2004 Flightplanner, you can upload it to the FMC via the CDU. When building your plan via the FS9 planner, ypu can edit it and add waypoints, that would resemble the real world sid or star.
Once you have the departure and destination airports, you then go on to the dep/arr page and select your departure runway. Dont´t forget to activate your choice via the activte key. Some airports (by far not all
) have departures and arrivals in the database. If there´s one four yur airport, you can select it fom the depp/arr page. From there on you go and enter the missing waypoints of ypur route. Next on, you go to the NAV page and enter vour desired cruise altidude. Always check, if there is a discontinuity (or empty waypoint line). If there´s one, close it by selecting the next waypoint down the line and entering it into the empty field. Then push the activate key. When you have done that, your route is ready.
Of course, you also have to enter the correct weights in the PERF page.
You do this by loading your bird via the ACE preflight tool, selecting your number of pax and freight. Then you load FS9, load your flight and plane and go to the Fuel and Weights menu. There you take the empty weight, add the payload weight and get a number. Enter this number in the XXX.X format into the Perf page in the ZFW line, add reserves (4.0 should do nicely) and the CDU calculates the fuel and gross weight.
Next you go to the takeoff page. There you select the desired flap setting (15° should do) and the CDU calculates the V1, Vr and V2 speeds.
Also enter the CoG (center of gravity) from the perf init page.
Then taxi to the rway, set your flaps, line up and (in the 2d cockpit), advance the throttles a little, select the autothrottle and push EPR. Then go to the EPR selector panel (above the gear indicator) and select TO/GA.
Off you go. At positive rate of climb and gear up engage the autopilot and select LNAV and VNAV. Retract your flaps then and watch the autopilot do its work.
Apart from that I can only encourage you to take the manual part5 and study it carefully.
Always three greens and Happy landings from LOWK,
Werner
