May 9, 201412 yr Well to start i don't know what ISA is been reading but can't figure it out! I do the calculations per tutorial 2 into the FMC and thats that done but my question is he works out ISA from FL180 is this the standard alt for it ie TL or can i do the calculation based on my dest airport TL?

May 9, 201412 yr It's better data for the descent if you use the ISA DEV at FL180. But don't worry about it. It's not critical. I've never had a VNAV DISCONNECT or missed an altitude restriction because I didn't have the ISA DEV box filled. Don't stop simming because that field is empty. Matt Cee

May 9, 201412 yr Author To both of you thankyou very much Ohh one other thing guys do you know where i can get sums on how to calculate ie rate of descent? Just anything really i'm looking to print these things out and have them to hand when flying? Like what you find in tutorial 2 Thanks alot Vernon Howells
