thanks for the charts

What derate and T/O thrust reduction settings are generally used when departing LOWI?

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=PC91DMb8fEAfound these but not the ones that were asked in the previous post

lol, funny poll... LOWI app is not so demanding as it appears to be... made, I dont know, probably over 100 landings there in FS without any problem...

What approach are you flying?Trevor Moore

I tried almost every single published approach with several aircrafts. :) Just never flown RNP app, because I do not have it in FMC.

Could you post a link to this video?

The video is on my hard disk ! I am not sure if it is on youtube or not.

Try the Loc/DME runway 26 approach, circle to land runway 08 under weather conditions that permit seeing the runway only at 6 DME OEV (OEV is the Localiser code). I had to make a missed approach before I saw the runway the second time at the last minute. Also, adding in some snow, etc. will really spice up your flying life!

When taking off from 6,000 foot runways in a 737-800, I'd recommend no T/O derate at all.

The circling approach to 08 even in fair weather conditions can be a little scary! Look at how aggressive the maneuvers are.

In the sim it's easy enough, but in the real world, it's known as a tricky airport due to the added problem of the wind. It's known as the foehn wind. Add low visibilty and you are in business. Martin Wilby

I agree. In the sim, people get cocky because it seems rather tame and controlled, but in the real world, without the unrealistic visibility of runways in FSX, the job is made significantly harder.

Figured as much! :(

Oh god... If I'm cocky because I can land virtual aircraft on virtual runway, than ok...Simmers need time to get familiar with airport and terrain, same thing RL pilots have to do at that airport, but after several landings, only extreme weather conditions can spoil your app, and that is possible irl too.

I think PMDG just found someone to write tutorial 2, which I understand will include the LLZ/DME East approach circle to land RWY08. Maybe a video posted here would convince them that you're the right person for the job. Trevor Moore

I do not like the way this thread is going...There is no way you can pull me in that game.
