  1. Did three flights this weekend. Today was the first time I used autobrakes 2. The results:

    Friday: landing at MPTO, Vref 137, idle reverse thrust and manual braking - no issues, 

    Saturday: landing at EHAM, Vref 137, idle reverse thrust and autobrakes 1 - no issues (brake temp value was 1.1 after landing).

    Sunday: landing at HTKJ, Vref 137, idle reverse thrust and autobrakes 2 - brake temps through the roof and tires deflated

     

     


  2. Just thinking out loud (no RW experience whatsoever).

    FCOM2 15.20.4 indicate the eight amber lights that are related to AIR COND on the system annunciator panel. Amber lights indicate conditions which require the timely attention of the flight crew (according to FCOM2 15.20.1). If there are no amber lights accompanying the indication on the system annuciator panel, I'd think it wouldn't be an issue that requires any action by the flight crew but that it would be just a maintenaince issue.


  3. What is the date of the navdata of the 737? I believe you can find that on the FMC init page (I am 3000 miles away from my flight sim PC, so I can't check it).

    OTHH was opened in 2014. Perhaps the navdata is older than that. In that case, OTHH will not be included in the navdata. The only solution would be to update the navdata.


  4. That's just a placeholder. Latest update from the developer:

     

    Guys, I don't want to ruin your day, but the CRJ release is NOT imminent. We're still busy testing and fixing things and we don't have a release candidate yet. I hope it won't be much longer but I still can't give you an estimate because finding and fixing bugs always takes exactly as much time as it takes and not a second less.

  5. According to the legend, flights PA130 and PA131 were flown with the Lockheed Constellation and the others with the DC-4. Also, the times are local times according to page 17 and 18 of the timetable. Time in New York is GMT-5 and time in Bermuda is GMT-4. Keeping that in mind, you get the following result.

     

    Planned duration of the direct flight from New York to Bermuda

    DC-4: 4h05m

    Constellation: 3h15m

     

    Planned duration of the direct flight from Bermuda to New York

    DC-4: 4h35m

    Constellation: 3h50m


  6. I think it's IFP/MODESASP. According to the following quote this is automatically added to the flightplan by Eurocontrol's Integrated Initial Flight Plan Processing System:

     

    The IFPS checks the profile of a flight to determine whether or not a Mode S equipped flight remains entirely within Mode S airspace and if so IFPS adds the IFP/MODESASP indicator to the flight plan distributed to ATC units.

    [uR.FPL.SEQPT.002]new (added in CTOR)

    The IFPS mechanisms should be adapted such that compliance with Mode S checking can be achieved when one or more of the indications 'E', 'H', 'L', ‘S’ or ‘I’ is present in Field 10b.

  7. You're right according to this remark on the Lido chart:

    Rwy 04L: E arrivals

    Rwy 04R: A arrivals

    Rwy 12: B arrivals

    Rwy 22L: F arrivals

    Rwy 22R: C arrivals

    Rwy 30: D arrivals

    Therefore, the arrival should have been the ALM1F to ULTIS.

     

    There is also a remark on the chart though that, traffic permitting, direct routing to ABEGI, ADOVI, LAMOX, and ULTIS for rwy 22L/R may occur. If flying offline or with no ATC on VATSIM, I would probably go from ALM direct to ADOVI, and then LAMOX to intercept the ILS.
