PMDG FMC Tutorial Part 8

A tutorial I put together for those that want to tackle the FMC and understand the basics of how it works. This tutorial is over an hour long but there is a good amount of information to cover

...LOL Yeah man because I did it in sections and some parts I had to do over because it sounded like crap so 4 hours into it I really just wanted to get it done sine I lost all passion and wanted to go to bed

Some things i don't understand. How do you know when you have to kick in the VOR LOC? you have to kick in the VOR LOC just after the localizer has came alive? But when do you have to kick in the APP HOLD??? Kind Regardz;-)

[WTurbiasz]

You dont have to kick it in at all if you want to make the turn into the localizer yourself. Howver if you want the aircraft to make the turn and lign itself up you can kick it in anytime.. One your on the localizer and established kick in the APP HOLD and the AP will take it from there

Did anyone else notice its POKRR CHIPZ? Kind of a coincidence for there to be Poker chips at Las vegas..

Thank you, great tutorial

[Hanseaticon]

Frist of all: Thanks for the good tutorial.

But it gets me mad listening to you. You could have done this tutorial in less than 30 Min just by speeding up your talking. But you like to hear yourself talking, arent you? ;-)

Anyway, good job.

i recently downloaded an add on .. and tried working with the fmc.. i have a couple of questions: how do i hold the altitude and engage the auto pilot .. i struggled ! and the whole sector which i flew was vectored by the atc! could u kindly lemme know on how to tackle the minor problem ? thanks

where did you get dose way points for the runway?

[PUA687]

@devashishvayeda He was performing an autoland 7:23, and selected the second autopilot to arm the autoland. Earlier in (part 7) he had tuned both NAV radios required also for the autoland. You must do this before 1500 AGL because that is where the autoland switches over and takes control and the plane lands itself.

[devashishvayeda]

why did you engage two autopilots towards the end???

[andysim212]

You cant with the built in ATC but there is an addon called Radar Contact v4 that will let you do Termianal arrival and departure procedures. It will still guide you on your route and vector you if you wish. Ive been using it for a long time now and would not fly without it. IT also tells you how well (or badly) you flew at the end of the flightplan hehe.

0:50 it says POKR CHIPZ=poker chips

[Bart9494]

how can you use atc with this kind of a flight plan
