FO - Dep Brief - Terrain

[XCLTM3 112]

Hi Bryan,

 

I'm pleased to say that so far v1.2 works well indeed.

 

One minor issue, is that whilst I'm pleased to report that the FO will engage his EFIS Terrain as per the Dep Brief, but he never dis-engages it for the entire flight.

 

I gather there is a point whereby the FO would disengage the Terrain radar in rw ops.

 

Is there a voice prompt you can program for v1.3 whereby we can instruct the FO to disengage terrain, weather, or any other EFIS gauge on his side?

 

It might be difficult to set parameters for the FO to disengage automatically due to airport terrain, elevation, transition, etc - so I figure being able to voice command him may be the most suitable and flexible?

I'll have the FO disengage Terrain in 1.3 at 10,000 feet.

 

Hopefully you're not flying at some high elev airport :-)

 

Cheers,

This is now in 1.3, which I just released.

Once again Bryan, many thanks.

 

PS: will this apply to Weather radar also?

[byork 2,259]

No, because maybe there is sig wx above 10K.

 

Cheers,

Fair enough.
