FirstOfficera320

Hi Mr. Green,I can only speak for the A320, as that's the one I fly. When I did my type rating. We where required to memorize ALL of the normal procedures and assotiated flows, checklist responses, aircraft systems, relevant limitations. (some training captains will test you in varius ways, like: minimum oil quantity for flight, oil temp limitations, starter motor limitations etc etc) Then there is the memory items. On the Airbus we have 7 (I belive the 737NG has 13) you will be tested in them on your bi-annual check. You should also know where to find supplimentary procedures. The supplimentary procedures are read and do checklist while the normal procedures are done from memory. You are also required to know your operational procedures, weather minima, IFR procedures and minimums. Then there is the local state procedures and local airport procedures. Good day from your neighbour country,Martin DahlerupCopenhagen

The 737, will not, be your, Christmas present, because it, is going, to vacate, to Mexico, to get, developed,by Santa. The reason for this is, Mexico doesn't, allow reindeer, to fly, in restricted airspace, because they fear, vfr aircraft, might be inferior, To the woodpidgeon, causing PMDG, to destroy, their upcoming, pudding party cake, thats takes place in, 800 years time, in the dirty cockpit, of the new, Dash 8, which will, be better than baywatch,if your, standards are,lower than, fat duck, which is, highly qualified, to run, without a, pair of, stockings filled, with hydraulic, fluid. However, you will, fully regret, being naked, on a tuesday, afternoon, because your parents will, spank your, flight yoke, until it, falls off, and you start, TO CRY, Why oh why, are A320's, not that cool as the B737's? The answer for that is, that yellow snow, "BUT WAIT!!!!" he shouted, Snow Cone, and a Yeti turned up, at EGCC, to dominate, Manchester City Football Club, while flying, completely drunk, on a flying motercycle, facing his worst landing ever, on a runway made of, cheese and crackers, which was cursed, by Thor, and his penautbutter jar, and Paris Hilton, with her, stupid Chihuahua.

However, take thy, neighbour to, Saint Maarten, while a(n) giant shark, ate Mr. Robert Randazzo, but quickly, threw up all over his chief-pilot, SKYDROL! they screamed! Since then, they disappeared, to Pluto, where a, wet kitty, farted on,the head, of our, frozen corndog, king Richard III, Who's F-16 exploded after the ngx was released, before the end of, Lord of the rings trillogy, and Harry Potter, and Star Wars, and most of all Rambo. That's why, the NGX, will come on the plane asap. However the 787 dreamliner will fly to heaven and earthRgds,Martin Dahlerup

Hi guys,Here is what I use:www.smartcockpit.com that is a very usefull site not only for FCOMs, but a whole lot more on flight safety and adverse weather etc etc...http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ A route planner - I sometimes use fsbuild and sometimes this site depending on my mood https://erm.euronautical.com/WEBeRM/ This is a full route manual that covers most of the world. There is also escape procedures over the alps, greenland and middle east. And last but not least engine failure procedures That's it from me,Martin

Hi,To get a better understanding of the different approaches and their design criteria (sounds technical, but stay with me) I suggest you head over to the ICAO Doc 8168. http://dcaa.slv.dk:8000/icaodocs/Doc%208168%20-%20Aircraft%20Operations/Read that and if you have any questions do not hessitateMartin

Hi Aidan,I am very sorry for your loss. It's always hard to loose someone very close to your heart.As Sam said, we should all dedicate one flight to your dad. Here is mine. Concorde at the edge of space enroute to Barbados from London. Keep the blue side up,Martin Dahlerup

Hi,I just found this website which may, in some way or another, be of any help to somebody. anyway the link: Sjaps 737 MaintananceHave a nice day,Martin Dahlerup

Hi,I would just like to take a moment from the waiting and guessing and say a big thank you to the entire PMDG team for making our hobby a lot more enjoyable. I really admire there professionalisme and dedication to this hobby. A special thanks goes to Robert S. Randazzo, because without him I simply do not think that we would have got to where we are now. I hope the screen shot I've attached will bring back some memories, because that plane and indeed all of them are just outstanding. They truly speak for the company. Thats it for me - back to simmingBest Regards,Martin DahlerupA320 First Officer

Cyril,As in the real race Concorde flew to CDG, was on the ground for 52min and then flew back and arrived in Boston 7min before the 747. So it's the time from wheels off at Boston to wheels are back down in Boston we are interested in. Martin

Hi Cyril,There is no problem with you departing later. As long as you beat the 747. Post you time from take off at KBOS to landing at KBOS again here. For all interested I am now at 46w going 1176kts over the ground. Life is good in ConcordeMartinco-founder of the Great Race.

Cyril,The race is still on. Some of us just can't make it unto Vatsim.<br><br>Good luck to all of you! May the best win. Post you airborne times in this thread as you land. For Concorde this incloudes the ground stop at CDG<br><br>MartinConcorde

Hi,Recently I've been debating with my self weather to upgrade my graficscard or not. First of all I run both FS9 and FSX and they run "smooth" with the sliders to the right of avarage.(not all the way and no AI and no autogen) I've read *******' post on how FSX processes information and it seems that Stream Processors are very important which makes an ATI 5870 card an appropriate choice, BUT I've also read that ATI drivers are very buggy - Can someone shed some light on that?The other card I had in mind is the 285GTX and while it is both cheaper and has more RAM, it does have only 240 Stream processors. Another problem that I will get is size. What I have available is 265mm and both of the cards are longer. So I will either have to get another cabinet or do some "surgery".Contenders:ATI 5870 1GB RamnVidia 285gtx 2gb RamCurrent system:Intel i7-920 stock speed (2.66ghz)Gigabyte Ga-ex58-ud56gb Corsair RAMGeforce 8800GT 512mb RamWin7 64bitThanks,Martin, CPH

Badderjet,I got the jeppesen chart, but I am not allowed to upload it here. Does anyone know where I can upload a pdf file to??Martin

Danny,The CT NDB is both the holding for the missed approach, but also the IAF for the approach it self. so what you do is fly from the holding out on the 219 radial outbound till 7dme from the ICTY and then turn right to intercept the 050 radial inbound. once established on the 219 radial you can decend to 1600feet. 4dme from ICTY is the FAF and also the decent point. The arrows on the holding dictates the direction. In this case it's left turn with an inbound course of 230 and a leg distance of 1min.Feel free to post any further questions :DMartin

Hi,I have a small problem. I usually use IAS both in climb and desend. now doing des when I select a lower speed i.e. going from 200kts to 160kts the plane starts to climb quite fast - over 1000fpm. I know "Fi-fi" is NOT a Jetstream, but the A/P shouldn't climb to loose speed.for ref: the JS4100 in FSX and "fair weather".Thanks,Martin

On the airbus A320 we normally start engine 2 first. This is because it powers the yellow hyd system which is used for the parking brake. We also start the number 2 engine for the same reason as stated above, should people has to get off we can simply taxi into the gate with the one engine started.AFAIK, the 744's engine are started from number 4 to 1. Concorde's engines are started number 3 and 2 at the gate - then pushback where number 4 and 1 are started.Hope this helps,Martin

Thanks very much sam :)

I am looking for the route from Billund to Chania as flown by Cimber Sterling.Thanks,Martin
