SOP1 - Landing - Standby for the flaps

[DarrianCZE 6]

Hi,

I have noticed that the new FS2Crew no longer supports "Standby for the flaps" during Landing checklist.

When cockpit crew has an applied speed limit of 160kts until 4nm final, it's sometimes not beneficial to apply landing flaps before reaching those 4nm final. And since doing the checklist this late could be too much load, at certain airlines, the landing checklist is being done when established in the ILS (or any other approach type), and when they reach FLAPS, then PF says "Standby for the flaps", and once PF orders landing flaps setting (Flaps 30 for example), PM says "Flaps 30, Green light, landing checklist complete".

Since I am flying online and to busy airports, I really miss this feature, especially because I am usually getting my landing clearance little bit later, and it's very annoying to do Landing checklist in the last minute, and communicate with the ATC at the same time.

Would be possible to implement it? Many thanks!

I know this is implemented in the SOP 3, but the airline I'm operating is using only a slightly modified SOP 1, so it wouldn't be usable for my "ARAIG" flying 🙂

Hi Jan,

I don't think we ever had that function in anything other than SOP3.

Sorry, I meant previous version of FS2Crew. To be specific, original version of FS2Crew for PMDG 737NGX

I'm looking at the code.  It was always on SOP3 thing only where the FO goes "Holding at Flaps".

In a future version, we'll consider adding it to SOP1 as a option.

Cheers,
