  1. Take a look at the "TRIP"-altitude. This is calculated for 1 minute between ToC and ToD.
  2. Hi,have you tried waiting until >400 ft AGL with arming the autopilot again?It is normal, that LNAV and VNAV lights go out on TO/GA and come back after passing 400 ft AGL.
  3. For (standard-)planning (on jet aircraft) according to JAR rules, you take:-Taxi fuel-Trip fuel (fuel from departure to destination, if everything is according to plan)-Contingency fuel (5% of trip fuel, but at least 5 minutes holding in 1500 ft AGL)-Alternate fuel (fuel for one missed approach + flight to alternate airport)-Final reserve (30 minutes holding 1500 ft above alternate)-Extra fuel (on PIC-discretion)So if you fly one approach and then divert, you should ideally end up with:-Contingency Fuel-Final reserve-Extra fuelstill in your tanks.As in FAR it is up to PIC, how you want to use the fuel (if there are no company rules of course....).But still according to JAR you have to declare emergency once you determinate, that final reserve fuel will be touched. (And also there will be some paperwork, as this is (according JAR) considered an incident and has to be reported.
  4. Exacly this part I want to build, therefore the data is needed. PMDG already stated, that there will be no access to CDU-data (what causes no problems), but access to the IRS data is needed to build the expected behavior.
  5. Of course, you will not switch off engines, once final reserve fuel touched...But: As soon as you expect, that you will land with less than that fuel (or actually do), this is considered emergency. That is one of the major differences between JAR and FAR ;)
  6. According to JAR the final reserve fuel is 30 minutes worth at holding speed at 1500 ft AGL at ISA conditions.Depending on ZFW and airport altitude, I usually come up with 1200-1600 kg (2600 - 3500 lbs)In the manual there is a table providing the fuel flow at holding speed with different weights and altitudes, making this calculation easy.
  7. Hi,is there a way to access the data of the two IRS-systems for building the 7-segment-displays on the upper panel?From what i have seen, there is no way in SimConnect, as well as in the SDK.Florian Schindler
