Just in case anyone's interested, Bryan found out it's 209 seconds after selecting takeoff flaps

To the same end, on approach to landing, the Cabin Ready seems to be related to a time after selecting flap 1.

Its actually just a button or switch in the cockpit that is to tell the flight attendants to take their seats. The seatbelt sign chime also can be turned on, off or put on auto in most planes.

Maybe you missed the point of the OP...and it was answered very succinctly here:

No, it's not. In real life, it's a button in the cabin which the purser pushes to let the cockpit know they are ready for departure, not the other way around.

Very entertaining thread, and if my memory was any better I could tell you which boolean events must be true for the cabin ready chime. We played with this very briefly during pre-RTM beta testing and it was a topic for a day or two... boy, that seems like a long time ago. It's not distance to runway... I think it does depend on the location of the pogostick.

Knowing PMDG's sense of humor, i believe this to be true. Is it the time it took to travel from nose to bulk cargo via pogo stick?

Being a freight dawg, I had never flown a pax version of the 777 until the 300ER was released.  I couldn't figure out what the heck the chime was and it kind of surprised me at first.  PMDG never fails to impress!

How would you know...?  I want someone with experience to tell me how it works... 

I did some tests and it looks like something about 15 seconds after you descend below the transition level with speed between about 195 and 200 kts and flaps not up, whichever occurs later. I am not sure 100% about that, though, more tests should be done. Anyway I can get CABIN READY each time. To cancel it, just slew to above 10000 ft and restart descending.

It's not randomly, it's always exactly 209 seconds after flaps are deployed as I heard...

As was said in the first post on this page ;-)

Guys, seriously...it's not distance to the runway.

i think its distance to the runway.... HEHE... no serious, but then what it is?

Can someone please try what I wrote 4 posts above? Descend through transition level with flaps out of up and speed about 195-199 knots.
