If you have the Jepp plate, on PAPPI you'll see a note saying "LANDING WEST EXPECT RADAR vectors to final approach course after PAPPI". This STAR doesn't have any transitions to any approach on RWY28R. If you're using this STAR you'll either need…

I have flown RNP AR approaches with it. Honestly I haven’t paid too much attention to whether it can fly to LNAV/VNAV mins or LPV, I always just set LPV mins. The real plane can fly to LPV minimums so that’s what I’ve always flown with the majestic.…
-
Yes it can, along with RNP AR approaches.

If you look at the captains FMS, it looks like you have only 2 waypoints in there, the starting waypoint and the ending waypoint, which appears to just be the two airports (I’m assuming, I’m on mobile and the image isn’t high enough resolution to re…

Does the line jump to the TDZE? If so that’s normal. You should be able to hit the button next to it and the runway length should still be what you entered

@Jetairfly1 said: @zedlin Well, we'll use the Nav 3 for both HGS CAT II and HGS CAT III as well. However, if we have fly a CAT II approach, it will most probably be an AP CAT II instead. We avoid putting the Nav 3 for the AP CAT II to…

Everyone’s correct about using IAS and the three types of climbs. How heavy are you? You won’t get 210 all the way to FL250, especially if it’s heavy and hot. Try using pitch hold. At my airline we set the pitch for 5 degrees shortly after take off …

Interesting, at my airline we use Nav 3 for both CAT II and III approaches

The HUD can be used for any approach, at my airline pilots are required to use it for all stages of flight. Most guys just leave it in primary for most approaches, but some switch to IMC for an approach with lower visibility or ceilings, and you are…

As others have mentioned before, it depends on airline SOPs. At my airline, flap 35 MUST be used for any runway shorter than 5000ft, anything beyond that and its up to your personal preference. Personally, I use flap 35 at anything shorter than 7000…

Basically the numbers (1 and 2) display when the coinciding prop is in the beta range (below flight idle). So if the number 1 prop is in the beta range, the number 1 will light up, etc.
-
You can try picking a fix on the approach for the runway, then creating a custom waypoint 2 miles to the side of that, and then creating a pseudo VOR line off of that. Been a while since I've flown the plane, but thats how I would do it if you're j…

My airline SOPs are to set the landing cabin alt to 200ft above the destination elevation. We set this as part of the initial cockpit setup. This is mainly to stop the aircraft from "catching" the cabin altitude on descent, which just causes some di…

30kts is what it reads on the ground when the aircraft is travelling below 30kts IAS. It is supposed to be that way. As for the HUD not being centered, move your viewpoint to the left. It does this in the real thing as well. There is a pretty sma…
-
You should always taxi with it in max. You're almost always taxiing with the props in the beta range anyways, so you're never going to reach even 850RPM during taxi, especially because the gust lock should still be on until you go to line up. At my …

Simply selecting the approach in the FMS won't autotune it for you, you have to manually tune it, either in the ARCDU or in the FMS
-
Try adjusting the brightness. It has an auto-adjust for the brightness which can significantly dim the HUD. There's a knob on the right side of the arm.
-
From what I've seen it could just be a sim glitch. Are you using addon airports (not that I can see this making a difference)? As for the HUD disappearing, try adjusting the brightness (Knob on the right side of the arm that holds the combiner). …
-
Have you tried any other airports? Speaking from real world experience, and looking over your screenshots, and based on what you have said, everything you have done looks to be correct, and seems to be just a sim glitch (assuming you set up the H…

MTOP (Maximum Take Off Power) is used mainly when it is needed in order for the aircraft to take off from a shorter runway when other configurations of take-off power (NTOP (Normal Take Off Power), RDC TOP (Reduced Take Off Power)) and flap settings…

The ailerons are cable operated, it's supposed to work like that. The elevators still work because they are hydraulically operated, and do not need a control lock

If you use a flight planning software that gives you a planned TAS and a fuel flow, when you get to cruise and have the condition levers set to 850, bring the power back to where the planned fuel flow is and it should give you roughly the planned TA…

When using DTO, you have to scroll through the list of waypoints (the list of waypoints are all the waypoints that you have in the FPL page). Once you find the one you want to fly direct to, you have to type the corresponding number next to the wayp…

@kroswynd said: Good to know, however the model from which we have developed our FMS does not have that feature, and it is very likely that we may not implement this. Thanks for the heads up this though, much appreciated. Anytime, thanks…

Thanks! Will there be an option to upgrade from pro to the training edition when it comes out?
-
Just wondering if anyone has any updates? I know about the system panel, but its missing one of the main reasons I bought the aircraft (which I will take partial blame for not doing more research), engine failures/fires! Thanks again
