David, Harry,Thanks for the replies. I will thus revise this ILS CAT stuff.

Just one question about Decision Altitude and Decision Height in precision approach: which one to choose?I am flying the 747.BestEtienne P.

I am wondering how to comply with the noise abattement procedure applicable at LFPG.The procedure reads as follows :Pilots of turboengines are besides to comply with the initial climb proce- dures as following: 1- to maintain speed V2 + 10 (or the speed that allows to maintain flight alti- tude according to the type of aircraft) until a height of 3000 ft proceeding a wing flap deflection in accordance with the takeoff configuration; 2- to maintain takeoff power until 1500 ft then maximum climb power rating up to 3000 ft; 3- at 3000 ft proceed normal climbing power and flap retraction then adopt climb attitude. For step 1, I understand that in TAKE OFF REF page of the FMC I have to chose in LSK L1 FLAPS / ACCEL HT : 20/3000 (+field elevation)For step 2, am I correct to set THR REDUCTION (LSK L3) to 1500 (+field elevation) / CLBBut what for step 3 ?Thanks for your help. Etienne

I stumbled on it while searching other information with Google and these key words "747 operation manual". It is not stated anywhere that these kind of doc are confidential or with restricted access whatsoever.Etienne

Here is what I've found in Boeing documentation : "Thrust (THR) REDUCTION Displays flap setting or height for reduction from selected takeoff thrust to armed climb thrust. Displays armed climb thrust rating. Valid entries are:

I have read somewhere that when flaps setting is used to trigger thrust reduction, flap 5 is mandatory. It can be no other value.Etienne

This is driving me crazy !I am a new user of PMDG 747-400 for FS XI saved a flight just after the push-back in order to be able to restart at this stage latter (engine are running, every system is on, etc.).Whenever I relaunch the saved flight, for a few second every is OK but few seconds after, FS starts to shut down everything (electric power, engine,

OK. But engine 1 is the only one to have such behavior and the rotation stop if I shut down external power and remain on the battery...

Dear All,I'm a beginner in the "hard core sim" world.I have this question : starting from a cold and dark state withe the 747-400 for FS X, when I apply external power, this cause the engine 1 to start at around 4%. Is it normal ?Thks
