Why the Fokker 100 Systems Surprised Me - Review & Analysis

Featured Replies

So, with the help of Fokker 100 AOM’s I’ve been doing a deep dive into the systems. I’ve found (and am still learning) many interesting quirks that you simply can’t get from a addon manual. Here’s what I found interesting, which is helping me get the most out of my JF F100 addon.

I also made a video where I am going through the full cold and dark to landing sequence with by the book.

APU:

The systems are actually very modern and smart. The APU page is automatically presented when the start selector is positioned from OFF to ON. After approx. 2minutes at operating speed, bleed air will be available. Interesting to note that, Inflight the APU can supply electrical power only.

AFCS:

Very similar to the A300-600 in terms of nomenclature such as PROF for VNAV and even map modes. The Pull/Push buttons for speed, HDG and ALT are very much like the MD-11. Furthermore, LVL change mode is activated automatically when the altitude knob is pulled provided no other mode is selected.

FMA:

The subscripts like IAS_E, IAS_T are fascinating – it tells you whether your IAS or Mach is being controlled by the Elevator (e.g., LVL change mode) or by Thrust (e.g., in a V/S Climb).

Standby Panels:

Quite a unique cockpit layout equipped even with standby Engine Instrument panels and Warning Panels.

So glad the addon is finally out :)

Just Flight do put a LOT of details in their premier addons!

Especially impressive since they make so many completely different aircraft 👍

Let’s hope they will fix route offsets and intermittently disappearing approach flight path on ND. It’s good product but a lot of little bugs makes it at times hard to bear. Especially fishing ATS constant over/under shooting selecting speed.

Yeah, I can tell. The release version itself is solid and I'm sure it will only get better :)
