May 21, 20188 yr Was wondering if this is simulated in the NGX and 777 btw. I do not seem to see it anywhere... Pls see the speed tape in the PFD @14:46 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6UHAl1Ysyg&t=888s Thank you Ahmed Saleh Edited May 21, 20188 yr by Blaser Adding name
May 21, 20188 yr Unfortunately the acceptable airspeed range for VNAV PATH with flaps up it's not modeled on NGX, I don't have T7. Maybe on the next version? 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
May 21, 20188 yr Author I have the 777 and it is not modeled. I hope it will be in a next version as I really miss/love this feature. Edited May 21, 20188 yr by Blaser
May 21, 20188 yr Just open 2 tickets, otherwise nobody will know and would not get fixed. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
May 21, 20188 yr VNAV Speed Band (magenta) Indicates the FMC target airspeed during VNAV PTH descents. The bottom of the bar indicates the autothrottle wake-up speed. The top of the bar indicates the speed at which VNAV will change VNAV PTH to VNAV SPD. Its presence is dependent on whether they bother to code it and provide us with the option. We can only hope! In real world - optional on 737ng and 777. on 748 I think it's standard. Edited May 21, 20188 yr by Copper. Brian Nellis
May 21, 20188 yr Yep, on 748 is standard and when outside of top x bottom of airspeed range will change from PATH to SPD. Probably the same on 737 x 777. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
May 21, 20188 yr VNAV and throttle behavior is correctly modeled. The speed tape feature is an option that was not included, I suspect it is because it's not in widespread use maybe... just guessing. Dan Downs KCRP
May 22, 20188 yr First time I see this feature. Never even knew it existed, we don’t use it here. ___________________________________________________ Rafael Henrique Carelli
May 22, 20188 yr I've never seen that option before. It would help to know what FMC software version they have.

It would help to know what FMC software version they have. most likely 10.8a but can be implemented on 10.5 and higher i think depending on airplane status. It is a selectable option implemented via service bulletin. you'll see it in 748 if they implement the 748 vnav/ids faithfully Brian Nellis
May 22, 20188 yr Honestly, I don't see any useful need for that display. It's just something else to clutter up the PFD.
May 22, 20188 yr Author Well, my opinion is it adds to the immersion since you can see how the "fmc is thinking"... Just good to have as a suitacheable option Edited May 22, 20188 yr by Blaser

I think it came around when nav perf scales became a thing... Maybe it was needed/used during rnp ar proving period for vnav path to vnav speed awareness. That's my guess. Brian Nellis

Just good to have as a suitacheable option You know how the fmc is thinking because as a rw pilot you‘re sitting in that cockpit every day and work with it constantly... you know how this airplane works, that‘s just like I don‘t need rpm or gear indication on my motorbike... I know how it will react from experience... the speed tape would just add another feature that makes you stop using your brain... ,
