Hi all,Here you will find great B737NG's manuals, all free and very well explained.www.smartcockpit.comEnjoy,Carlos.

wow! thanks a ton, really appreciate it

Sometimes there are also interesting discussions about the NG at pprune.org.A bit controversial thread how descends should be handled (to speedbrake or not to speedbrake) :http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.ph...&threadid=75770And something about the NG Autopilot. The LOC intercept seems to be somewhat in favour of the MS default AP :-hahhttp://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=65484Michael

Michael-I will happily say that there's no remnant of that "MS Default A/P" in our bird...Cheers,

Lefteris,hmmm, that sounds very much like your 737 will know what turn anticipation is and e.g. really follow the nicely curved flight path in your ND.How come if anyone mentions some flight relevant details, someone from PMDG comes up and says it's in there already ;)What can I say other than sounds great again.Michael

Since this is my baby I intend to write a short description of what it can do shortly. All I can say right now is that it comprises more than 10 full industrial scale controllers with more than 200 parameters and custom gain functions in use.Best Regards,VangelisPS. Here is an example for double bypass on fairly tight DME Arc procedure (sorry about quality of jpeg had to compress to 25% to upload).========================================= E. M.

Vangelis,ouch, your remark and picture leaves me almost speechless. The short description you mentioned would be of course more than interesting :)There's CALM written in the upper left of the ND, certainly a good advice for those that can't wait like me :-hahMichael

Vangelis,>> more than 10 full industrial scale controllers with more than 200 parameters and custom gain functions in use.You probably guessed someone might ask back regarding that. I remember having read an article a while ago about an F/A-18 Hornet formation flight autopilot and that article also used a similar terminology with time-scale controllers, gain sets/functions, etc.Can't really get it completely together anymore, so is there any way to quickly explain what that means in practice for the 737 NG autopilot ?Michael

His excellency Mr. Mert'on also responsible for pilot-autopilot command interface (i.e. the MCP combo). Credit to Lefteris Kalamaras for setting up a global air/nav data collection system that allows communication of the automatic control system with FS/NG through FSUIPC.Most controllers include a "learning mode". Noise reduction using Heaviside (box), Gaussian relaxation and time-rolling filters.

Somebody has posted a web site on the PIC767 forum about where you can get a boeing 737 manual from Continental its a BIG file about 2500 pages ....bob

Vangelis,that's impressive to say the least.Thanks for the info !Michael

Hi,I am having a problem with this link for the manuals.For some unknown reason to me - when I click on the link I get nothing. Just a blank page.Please help.
