newbie questions: GPWS disable, cockpit klaxon

Featured Replies

firstly, i think i must be dreaming! what a great flight model - to capture the essence, and i am only using a keyboard, having given up the joystick because the response is so smooth. PMDG - kudos!my newbie questions:~ how to disable the Ground Proximity Warning system during autoland it keeps going off driving me crazy! %-)~ during takeoff roll, i have everything setup correctly (per T.Metziger's tutorial) - except i get a loud repetitive klaxon going off, which disappears after i rotate and raise the gear. what am i missing?Thank-you captains!cheers,spiritflareCYYZ

If you are hearing the klaxon it means something isn't set up properly. Are you sure you have your flaps set at least at 1 for takeoff?Also, you need to sign your name... forum rules.

Let me check again, maybe i missed something.Any ideas how i can disable the GPWS during autoland..it keeps going off "Too Low Terrain" and drives me mad, all the way down the glidescope.What am i missing?cheers~KarimCYYZ

"What am i missing?"You need to put the gear down earlier, unless you are over mountain terrain. Then you may just be to low! ;-)Concerning the Klaxon, sound like you may not have the speed brakes in the proper position. FYI: the procedure is different than the Airbus.

Yup, speed brakes should not be armed or deployed for takeoff; that will cause the warning. Also, make sure your autobrakes are set, although I'm not sure if not setting them generates the warning.Re: autoland, I never hear GPWS, so something's not right in your landing setup. Auto brakes should be set and spoilers armed. HTH.
