Do keep in mind that I never actually looked at the FCOM for the 747-8 before, so I wouldn't have known off hand where it was. The way it's broken down makes it simple enough to look for. Kevin, I don’t understand this checklist, sometimes I can click on it and it goes to the next screen, other time I can’t and I’m Forced to use the knob. For example, I have a couple of non-normals right now and usually I can click on any button on the sceeen but now I HAVE to use the knob. They’re fuel related. Is this normal? Jack Sawyer

I haven't had the chance to fly it, so I haven't had a look at the checklist. In any event, check your simulation settings via the FMC and see if you have it set to use the knob or not. Also, the update recently just got released within the last few minutes, so maybe try updating it if you're not already flying right now.

September 29, 20187 yr Author Thanks Kevin, I have it now set to Cursor and will check the update too. Thank you kindly. Jack Sawyer

If it does, click on the button and run through the prompts. Next, set up your flight plan on the RTE page of the CDU. From there, hit the ARPT button above the ND, and then zoom in using the range knob until the airport appears. I’m on the ground. I’ve done this on the last two flights. No new scenery so do I have to do this before every flight? Load all the airports I mean? Jack Sawyer
