August 31, 201114 yr Hi guys, I have few questiones, hoping to be answered. Which are: 1- How to set a certain VS for climb or descent ?!2- I'm flying FL160, the ATC asks me to d/m FL140, how can i descent to FL140 ?!3- how to set RWY Course in preporation for APP ?! Regards,
August 31, 201114 yr Use the Autopilot panel. To set V/S, press the V/S button the A/P panel and use the wheel on the center console to control it. To descend, select ALT SEL and V/S or IAS and use the ALT knob to control the altitude. To set the course, use the knob on the A/P panel and the HSI to control the RWY course. Also set the frequency of the RWY on the radio panel. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"

August 31, 201114 yr Many thx Kenny, but still facing a problem with setting VS Regards, Let's say you're on a flight cruising at 14,000 feet and you need to descend to 8,000. You would press the ALT SEL and V/S buttons on the flight director on the coaming panel. Then select whatever V/S you need to descend at by using the thumbwheel on the A/P control panel behind the throttles on the center console. To get the correct or most-efficient V/S you can use the FMS if it set correctly or by doing some math that I can't remember at the moment. I do hope that helps. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
