VNAV questions

Recommended Posts

Looking at the STAR. I would be at flaps 5 and hold my speed at 170 with SPD INTV. And from PRINO (IF) you still have a 10nm final till the Descent point. So let VNAV PTH guide you down to 4900 platform altitude for the GP. Here in the Europe i've never had a RNAV STAR or such that levels you off at specific altitude. Its all CDA over here.

 

Once on 255 QDM and shortly before SHAND reduce to flaps 5 speed.

I've never been there on VATSIM, but flying at -500 fpm for like 10 minutes is not an exciting experience ...

You really have to watch the speed bug in the PFD to see what the commanded speed is as when in VNAV the MCP speed is blacked out, unless you intervene the speed and you are now responsible for it instead of the FMC.
