PMDG 777 FMC unable to set speed on LEGS page

Recommended Posts

I've created a flight plan from VHHH to ZGGG, and I've setup the fmc using the data as shown in the screenshot.

 

However, why in the LEGS page, the speed isn't activated and in the PROG page, the econ page is set to 215? I didn't enter this number.

FMC settings

As you see in the LEGS, waypoint PORPA will be using 215/6000 instead of 250/6000

From the images, it looks like you haven't actually set it up.

Lots of data is missing as if you've improperly (or haven't) filled out the PERF INIT page.

uh yeah, cause I'm still in the gate, I haven't select the runway for takeoff so the PERF INIT page V1 V2 VR isn't ready yet

 Regarding your question though that 215 knots on the climb page on the ground is more of a placeholder than anything especially if all of the performance information hasn't been entered. Run your takeoff numbers, fill in the V-speed information. That 215 will change to V2+15. As soon as you are flying and a clean configuration it will revert to 250 below 10,000 feet and the FMC will meet your altitude restriction.

Okay, well that would be important information to know, and it would also explain why your values don't make sense.

If you don't tell people things, then they can't use those unknowns in helping you. You never showed me the page, and I saw values that looked like you hadn't finished the logical steps required to get the data you were looking for, so I had to question if you'd filled it out. I didn't know you were still at the gate, or anything else. I don't know anything you haven't specifically told me. The presumptive "uh yeah," is pretty unnecessary. Provide enough information to help people help you, or be receptive to their requests for additional data.

Sorry that I'm quite new to flight simulator games and are watching tutorials on FMC, so I might sometimes forgot to provide some necessary information for trouble shooting.

 

Please accept my apologies if that's offensive.

You are cruising at 14,000 feet on an intercontinental flight? Regarding your question though that 215 knots on the climb page on the ground is more of a placeholder than anything especially if all of the performance information hasn't been entered.

I'm using Pro-ATCX for the flight and it told me the cruising altitude is FL140.

 

I'll try looking at the LEGS page after choosing the runway for takeoff, entering V speed and see if I can than change the speed and altitude at LEGS page.

VHHH to ZGGG is 73 nautical miles straight line distance, so 14,000 doesn't seem unreasonable.

Yeah I botched that part. I was thrown off by the high fuel and low cruise. Thanks.

So normally what would be the cruising altitude for short flight like this?

There shouldn't be anything to check or a need to change anything on the legs page at all. The legs page looks fine in your initial post. Have you flown the tutorial flight?

The Cathay flights are doing it at 13,800 feet so your 14,000 is fine. You are carrying a ton of extra fuel though for a short flight.
