Los Pilotos

That sounds horribly out of date We have a comms page where we can set reminders (waypoint, time, lat/long, altitude, fuel) .. the amount of timers i've set a timer and then forgotten what it was for

Hi Ash, The following is all pertinent to the 777 as we operate them at Emirates. There is no requirement to check synoptics at any time neither for normal nor non-normal operations. The plane will alert you via an EICAS message for any non normal situation that requires your attention and direct you to the proper checklist (in most cases anyway). Status messages are not something you're required to do anything about as such other than to consider dispatch implications once you get to your destinations. As for normal operations we're required to do time and fuel checks at least once every 60 minutes but most people I've flown with normally uses +-30 minutes. Other than that monitor radio and flight path (routing, airspace, terrain, weather etc) - and for myself I always play the game "What would I do if XYZ happened right now - what is my plan B and C"

Is this happening at all airport or only specific ones and are you using any addon scenery? Does this happen with other planes as well or only the 737?

Just because LNAV and VNAV buttons are lit does it mean the plane will follow the profile.. READ THE FMA!! Make sure you're in VNAV PTH and not VNAV ALT.

This is the line from one of our 77L's -B77L/H-SDE2E3FGHIJ3J5M1RWXYZ/LB2D1 -PBN/A1B1C1D1L1O1S2T1 NAV/RNVD1E2A1 DOF/XXXXXX REG/A6ZZZ SEL/YYYY RMK/NRP HAR TCAS ADSB)

If it's only a status message there is no checklist otherwise you would have had an EICAS message. Now what has failed is a circuit that monitors engine overheat conditions. Mel interval C 4 installed 0 required.

What Luke didn't say was that we actually have to pay the $150m to get access :ph34r:

It's the on/off button for the class 2 efb

We turn it on during taxi out when we receive the cabin ready and turn it off again when vacating the runway after landing. There is no rule who has it on but it tends to be the PF when there is weather around.

Then you should try and cram in a push for mtow by load control but even with apu-to-pack and takeoff bump on a 38 degree day you'll only get to some 345t .. but it is truly an amazing plane! Now if they would only come out with the 777X so we can fill every seat and cargo hold and still make it from DXB to IAH :wub:

We dont use a fixed schedule but if you aim to be at 10.000ft at 250kt around 30nm from the airfield it's a good start. Select F1 and slow to F1 speed at around 4-5000ft, F5 and F5 speed at on base leg (or at around 3-4000ft), select gear down and F20 and F20 speed at around 2500ft and then F30/F25 (if light) around 2000ft. That will give you a nice stable approach and as you get more comfortable you can then adjust as necessary.

If I was you i'd switch to running bootcamp instead. windows and fsx really needs to be run directly on the hardware not in emulation like fusion or parallels. I run on the previous gen iMac and i get very good performance.

starts on pg 199 in the 777 fcom v1 supplied when you bought the pmdg 777 :-)

You may want to look at FCOM vol 1 page 199-253 where the normal amplified procedures are including flows and when to do the appropriate electronic checklist.

Check the failures pages in the fmc to see if there is an active failure maybe based on lack of maintenance

This is unfortunately a problem with the FSX ground friction model that the team cannot do anything about (I know because I flagged it during the initial development). It was modified but any further tweak would have a lot of other consequences which i'm not even sure about so this is a the best compromise we could get. Normally at light weights you wouldn't even need any thrust to start taxiing and even at heavy (max tow) you only need idle once you're moving.

You have to register again

First if I was you i would start by signing my post with my full name as per the forum rules. Next I would go to http://support.precisionmanuals.com and create a ticket directly with PMDG as they are the ones who can help you.

Chicago is twice a week via Copenhagen on thursdays and sundays even though it's not on the list.

Hi It's a known bug corrected in the next service pack

I just had a look on our charts (effective 08-Aug-2013) and the dumol star is no longer in use and as far as i can see looking at the chart you most likely looked at (from 2004) the dumol star is replace by the betty 2a/b star with a carso transition. I haven't checked in the nav database and why it would be in the aivlasoft efb you'll have to ask them (did you update the navdatabase for the efb? if not that may explain why).

36-11-02 High Pressure Shutoff Valves (HPSOV) 36-11-02-05 -200LR/300ER One may be inoperative provided: a. Inoperative HPSOV is locked closed. b. Opposite engine bleed system operates normally. c. Both outflow valves operate normally. d. Associated engine bleed air is cycled OFF, then ON at 55% N1 or greater before takeoff.

Yes I would consider this very possible without any safety issues. A 9 hour flight would be around 80 tons of fuel (give or take). With a DOW of 165 and MTOW of 285 that leaves around 40 tonnes for payload. Say 350 pax @ 88 kg is 31T which leaves 9T for luggage which leaves 25kg per person so yes possible in my oppinion. (ours have 266 seats so figures would be 23.4T for pax so 16.6T for luggage/cargo). again this is on a standard isa day. If for instance it is warmer (30 degrees) with a lower pressure (995) but with a 5kt headwind figures would be: 280155, F20, V1 151, Vr 146, V2 156. Also APU-to-Pack would give an extra 1 tonne

I've just run the figures on a standard day (15 degrees, qnh 1013, sea lvl) with 0 wind and it comes out with a max tow of 286548kg with flaps 20, v1 143, vr 148, v2 157 for a 2000m runway

If you press toga more than once it will disarm lnav and vnav and they will only be available again above 400ft. As for not getting the auto throttle to spool up make sure they are both armed, advance thrust levers to around 55% N1 and let them stabilize before pushing either toga button (or the click spot) ONCE and they should advance.
