October 27, 201312 yr Besides watching my fuel temperature, are there other things I have to keep in mind? I mean can I leave my sim? Or do I need to have true/magnetic heading turned on at set parts of the trip? Yours trulyBoaz FraizerCopenhagen, Denmark
October 27, 201312 yr I haven't flown Polar routes yet, but next time, clicking "submit" once is more than enough ;-) Name available upon request

October 27, 201312 yr I can't remember if I read it or my FedEx buddy told me but I believe the true/magnetic automatically changes when you pass a specific parallel. Tom Landry
October 27, 201312 yr Author Ok thanks! Oh and btw I will be wearing led underwear Yours trulyBoaz FraizerCopenhagen, Denmark
October 27, 201312 yr Suggest you open the FCTM, type polar into the search field and read the topic on page 4.16. Primary roll mode is LNAV with heading mode NORMAL (magnetic not true). Dan Downs KCRP
October 27, 201312 yr I will be wearing led underwear Sounds safe enough, don't forget to compensate for it in your ZFW

October 27, 201312 yr I am still flying my first polar route and you don't have to change your heading to true but if you want it to be as real as possible then do it. But I haven't gone off course and half and hour left on my flight so good luck and make sure to sleep. KSFO TO OMDB 14 hour flight.... Dane Quartel

But I haven't gone off course and half and hour left on my flight so good luck and make sure to sleep. KSFO TO OMDB 14 hour flight.... I did that route just yesterday. PFPX said it would be 15:42h and it took me 15:40h (i got an visual approach...) and the fuel burn was within 100kg (!) of the calculated amount. AMazing combination of two awesome products! http://www.vataware.com/flight.cfm?id=12534144 btw, here an pilot of EK in a presentation about polar ops and what to do for preparation: Have fun!
