Every auto land I've done in the real 777 has been a 'greaser' . It really is better than the average pilot! Alex Dority

Try taking off at Max landing weight (300ER; 251.3T). Most local training done in our sims use a ZFW of 210.0T and fuel loaded of 40.0T. That'll keep you out of the woods! Alex Dority

On the 777 spoilers are a flight control, use them as much as you like! I've never seen an approach without the use of them. They are especially handy at high weights as opposed to dropping the gear for drag as it gives you more flexibly to reduce drag quickly if needed. For my company spoilers are not to be used whenever gear down is selected on approach as to not achieve an unstable high rate of decent. Alex Dority

125.825, is what you would tune the radio to if told to change to 125.82. The last .005 mhz would not make a difference. I assume it's a sim issue then if that doesn't work. Alex Dority

Select RTE2, you should see the dotted cyan line on your navigational display? Find the waypoint that is in front of you, find that in the legs page, select it, then go back to the first page of the legs and select 1L and execute, it should now be magenta on your navigation display, press 1L twice again and select LNAV, you should see RTE2 legs as the title it done correctly. Sorry it takes less than 5 seconds to do it IRL but hard to explain with words . Alex Dority

Before you execute RTE, go into track select for the lateral navigation mode, then activate route 2 and bring the next way point to the top and execute that direct to, then don't forget to re engage LNAV! You should see a more accurate depiction of the first waypoint track on the ND. Alex Dority

Starting both engines simultaneously would be very similar to completing a ground air start with a very poor start cart. I've seen this happen before, the procedures calls for at least 25 psi duct pressure for the start and our psi was 18. The start was still successful however the EECs did their job and very slowly added the fuel and the engines started, albeit after a longer than normal time. Two engines at once would likely do the same, however there would probably be more chance of a failed start (hung). FYI have a look at the duct pressure with the APU running, it's usually between 30 to 40. I'm glad it's difficult to start these massive engines.... The guys in the flight deck may have had a laugh during the taking of my profile pic! Alex Dority
