Beta Notes- London, Stansted- Single Engine Performance

[KriVa 307]

At this point, I guess they're either just winging it, or using something like simbrief for the fuel consumption figures.

In terms of calculating the speeds, the NGX can calculate those by itself, so I imagine the 777 will do no less.

Very nice read and very excited! I will be failing both engines just to get the RAT out

Already tried it - APU comes on too! Unfortunately we ended up in a German field.

Awesome read! Beautiful pictures too!

:LMAO:

 

Anyway, brilliant! Can't wait to see the electronic checklist in action!

Why is the aircraft side-slipping in the last shot?

 

Are you able to disengage a single AT channel, and does only one throttle move after that has been done?

 

Great post! Nice to see the aircraft in daylight for a change, too!

 

Best regards,

Robin.

as I was busier than an organist in the midst of the Tocata and Fuge in D Minor.

 

 

Always preferred G Minor

 

(Sarcasm :biggrin:  Thanks for the great post! )

PMDG 777+Fs2Crew+GSX= AMAZING !!!!!!

how did you actually end up? haha I am excited to see the mess  :ph34r:

And I'll add PFPX to that

NIce post!

Why is your throttle of the shutdown engine not in idle?

I wonder if those N1 figures are consistent. I'd expect them a bit higher ( by windmill ) ? You were low ( 2500' in the 1st shot ) and at 180 KIAS...

 

Sorry for insisting, but the N1 (windmill) values all accross the various shots, seem low to me (?)

[KriVa 307]

If I may ask, why?

I don't have any experience with the GE90, but if you fly a CFM56 at 4000ft at 180kts, you should get about 10-15 N1. I think you'd get quite a bit less with the GE90, since it's a lot heavier to keep those big engines turning.

[3-2-1-Now 126]

Mass is not everything. You forget the aerodynamics involved in windmilling in the first place.

 

Big engine (and thus larger mass), but also a bigger fan, and (much!) larger area exposed to the airflow. It's all relative.

 

In fact, a doubling of diameter results in quadrupling the area (square term).

 

Best regards,

Robin.

I think we should really be seeing higher N1 figures ... But then again, I'm a glider pilot only :wacko:

 

It's 180 knots @ 2500' only - high density alt., etc...

Hello Carl,  Nice to read a post which makes sense and gives valuable info. As an aside, I see you are located in Tampa and wondered what the fascination for EGSS was. Regards, Richard Welsh.
