Enroute Descent Path Planning• Build a waypoint 40 NM track distance from the landing runway with240/10000 inserted for Speed/Altitude. - AND/OR - Use the fix page andput a 40 NM circle around the runway (or FAF) and plan to cross thecircle at 240/10000 for a straight-in arrival.• When planning an enroute descent to radar vectors to final it can bedifficult to determine how far out you will be vectored and how soon you should begin your descent. Request a descent at a distance that will allow a constant 1500 fpm descent. To determine this descent point:• Load the expected approach using the FMS DEP/ARR page• Load the FAF or OM point/altitude on the descent page at 3R.• You can monitor the V/S as you approach this point. When the V/Sapproaches 1500 request descent. Even if the descent is not grantedimmediately, you will have a very good target descent rate when ATCpermits the descent.

Single Engine Trim• Trim into good engine is approximately equal to Fuel Flow

Is that rudder trim? And is equal to fuel flow in kgs or lbs? Thanks.

The aircraft references are taxi references. These references are based on sitting in either seat. These references use various points around the flight deck to give you an idea where parts of the aircraft are tracking during taxi. You should always know where you wing tips, main gear, nose gear and engines are in reference to obstructions. For example, I am approaching some loose debris on the taxiway on my left side. I probably don't want my left engine to pass over this area. Since my left window handle represents the outboard side of my left engine, i can visualize an imaginary line from the window handle along the taxiway towards the debris. If that line passes over the debris, my engine will also pass over it. In this case I can cheat to the right until my line from the handle is well inside of the debris if possible. The main gear references works well when making turns to ensure your mains remain on the taxiway. The wing tip references are helpful when near parked aircraft and other obstructions. For the opposite side wing tip, use the area where the pencil holder sits. Keep in mind that these references are for the RW NG(BBJ) and my not be exact in FS. With some adjustments, they work well. Rudder trim is correct and it's based on pounds.

Do anyone fly into non data base airports? I have a technique for setting up the FMC that.

[Cristi_Neagu 134]

Oh please, do share. I was flying into Venice LIPZ yesterday, and even tough it is in the database, there are some procedures and transitions missing.

[G550flyer 1,007]

Landing or Departing from Airfields not in the FMC DatabaseFor Flight TO an Airport not in the Database(1) “ROUTE” page: Enter all data like a normal flight except leave the“DEST” boxes blank. Enter the destination airport as a Lat/Longwaypoint on “INIT/REF” - “INDEX” - “NAV DATA” FMC Page. EnterICAO under “AIRPORT IDENT” then Lat/Long and elevation. Atechnique is to enter both the arrival and departure ends of the runway incase of a runway change. Be sure to keep the coordinates written downand readily accessible and consider figuring the coordinates for all therunways that you might end up using. You can then build anapproach/missed approach using associated waypoints/navaids if indatabase) or Lat/Longs. The route will “ACTIVATE” and “EXEC.”Note: The arrivals page (approaches, STARS, and runways) for the destination airport will not be available.(2) “LEGS” Page: Airspeeds and altitudes may be entered for VNAVdescent calculations. You will not be able to enter MAP altitudes andairspeeds that are higher than the lowest number entered for theprevious point (runway, FAF, etc.).(3) Block time calculations: You will not be able to see the arrival airport on the “PROG” page. A technique is to select “RTE DATA” from the “LEGS” page to check the time at a waypoint located prior to the top of descent or at a waypoint you used in the approach. You can also use the “RTA” function for the same waypoints if they are in the database. (Lat/Longs cannot be used on the “RTA” or “FIX” pages.)(4) “VNAV” Page: Go to “DES” page, select “FORECAST”, check the“TRANS LVL”, and change it if needed. For Flight FROM an Airport not in the Database(1) Inertial Position: Enter using the most accurate Lat/Long.(2) “ROUTE” Page: Enter all data except for “ORIGIN” boxes. If theincorrect origin is displayed, go to the “IDENT” page and insert theinactive database (“NAV DATA OUT OF DATE” scratch pad messageappears), then reinsert the active database (verify that the activedatabase has the correct dates). This will clear all previously enteredroute data. Enter the origin airport as a Lat/Long. Build thedeparture/SID using database waypoints or Lat/Longs. The route will“ACTIVATE” and “EXEC.”Note: The departure page (SIDs and runways) for the origin airport is not available. A technique is to figure the approach end Lat/Longs for allORIGIN runways that you might do an emergency return to and keep them readily accessible.(3) “LEGS” Page: Enter altitude/airspeed restrictions as applicable. (4) “VNAV” Page: Check the “TRANS ALT” and change if incorrect.WARNING: VNAV may not function correctly on takeoff, giving an“UNABLE CRZ ALT” message on the scratch pad. Thisindicates that the CRZ ALT has "dumped" after takeoff, eventhough it was previously entered. Consider an alternate meansfor climbout immediately after takeoff other than VNAV (LVLCHG, V/S, etc.) until the cruise altitude is reloaded and it isverified that “VNAV” will operate appropriately. If operatingunder QFE, use caution as altimeter will not provide you withtransition altitude backup.

Very useful indeed... I like the 4Cs in particular.. Cheers!

excellent stuff - please post more if you have them!

We use alot techniques to remember different procedures. For example the "SCAR" check. We use this prior to using any RNAV/GPS procedure. S-Select the procedure in the FMCC-Check and verify approach and missed approach waypoints, altitude restrictions with the approach plateA-Activate the procedureR-RAIM(Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring). check predictive RAIM. On the GPS status page of our FMC, there is a RAIM sub page. we can enter the destination and time of arrival and it will calculate whether or not RAIM will be available in 5 minute intervals prior to and after our the arival time entered. It uses the GPS almanac to check to ensue you will have at least 5 satellites in view in order for RAIM to operate. I must have RAIM by the FAF on a RNAV/GPS approach. Most system will give you a degrade indication when RAIM is insufficient.

What is the "NESA Transmitter"?

The NESA transmitter is the squiggly line like sensor in the window. It is use by the windshield heat controller to sense the windows temperature.
