Problem with PMDG 737 Tutorial 1

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a problem. I am learning to fly the PMDG 737-800 using the PMDG manual ( tutorial 1) and in the tutorial it says after passing waypoint NIRSI I should get a message on the fmc scratchpad : DRAG REQ AFTER NIRSI. But I did not get anything. Why?

This is what happened to the individuals who put together the tutorial and it might not happen the next time they fly the tutorial.  There's a speed restriction at NIRSI (220) and the FMC knows about this restriction.  If the FMC sees that you are not going to meet that restriction, it will warn you.  Evidently your speed was near 220 knots and you would have no problems meeting this speed restriction so you did not need the warning.  If you have weather engaged, sometimes the winds will get behind your aircraft and push it faster that normal.  If the winds are coming at you, then the aircraft has no problems slowing down.

Hello,

What does “Captuing the localizer” mean? 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system_localizer

Capturing the localizer means lining up your aircraft with the runway heading when you see the vertical needle on the Course Deviation Indicator begin to move - the idea is to keep the needle centred.
