VNAV at SLC (WOW!)

Featured Replies

For a while I've been avoiding SLC for one main reason: their departures. Since SLC has a considerable elevation, they ensure that you don't exceed 250kts 10 seconds after departure (yes, a hyperbole). Anyway, I departed SLC San Francisco bound and used the PECOP2 dep (RNAV). http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1108/00365PECOP.PDF If you take a look at the chart you will see various crossing AND speed restrictions. Well let me tell you: The NGX flew them perfectly. In other addons it would miss the altitude and have to descend, not the NGX; in other addons I would end up going 50kts overspeed because the thrust decided to respond only after the level off, not the NGX, in other addons the speed restrictions would be blown off just because I was level for a few minutes (I know), not the NGX! I can't believe it- the autopilot and VNAV is as accurate as I've seen it. SLC, here I come!

Thank you Sir. That's what I've been talking about.

Sounds like OP have had a bunch of bad addons if they were not able to fly proper rnav departures.

Not with this must precision. I do have a nice addon library though. ;) Thanks for your post!
