Hey guys,
I have a question about the PMDG 737NGX Re-entry procedures. I've been unsuccessful at descending through FL360 and It has me scratching my head. Currently, i've been using a standard VNAV descent profile to begin my re-entry but I always end up in an aircraft overstress. I tried to RTFM, but I couldn't find anything pertaining to atmospheric re-entry in the POH or SOP.
When reaching FL360 or above, what attitude do you guys normally use to continue your descent down to the STAR?
Also, I've had serious issues getting the APU to run through my cruise and descent. I'm following Ryan's tutorials but the APU simply won't start, it gives me a "APU FAULT" error. I also get an "Above Max Cert Alt." Warning on the FMC whenever I climb to cruise.
I included a picture of my last failed re-entry attempt. I don't know if the attitude was too steep, but I always overstress it whenever I reach Mach 4.5. Any help in solving my problems would be appreciated. Thanks!
