    E-Jets Series - Embraer 170/190

    INTRODUCTION

    Welcome to Wilco's simulation of the

    Embraer Regional Jet, the E-170/190.

    Taking to the air for the first time in

    February, 2002, this regional jet is thesmallest variant offered by Embraer, and

    was designed to compete with their CRJ

    700/900 and Q400 series. It was also

    meant to replace the BAe-146 and Fokker

    70. She's got a passenger capacity of 78,

    and tips the scales at an empty weight

    21,140 Kgs/56,638 Lbs. Powered by 2 GE

    DF34-8E turbofans fitted with FADEC, she's

    got a maximum ceiling of 41,000 feet,

    cruising speed of 460 kts, a range of 3,889

    Km/2,416 Miles, and may easily operate

    routes such as Paris to Moscow, Dallas to

    Halifax or Brasilia to Caracas. Current

    customers include Alitalia, US Airways, LOTAirlines, Air Caribes, Egyptair, Virgin Blue,

    Air France Regional and others.

    As you will soon see, the flight deck sports

    an all digital cockpit. With the exception

    of the ailerons, the flight controls are all

    fly by wire. Of particular interest to the

    airlines, the jet has ten minute single point

    refueling, and the under wing engines may

    be serviced from the ground without

    stands. There are forward and aft doors on

    both sides of the fuselage that permit rapid

    entry/exit with simultaneous servicing. A

    regional jet by all counts, this is an aircraftthat could become the standard for all

    short to medium distance carriers.

    QUICK START

    POWERING UP YOUR BIRD

    Remember placing the mouse over a usable

    knob or switch will reveal its function and

    status (on/off, auto etc.).

    1. Battery 1 to "On", Battery 2 to "Auto".22.5V minimum. Aural message will play.

    2. Rotate AC Fuel Pump 2 knob to "Auto".3. Rotate APU knob to "Start". Follow start-up on EICAS gauge.

    4. Rotate Generator 1 & 2 knobs to "Auto".5. Using "Black Panel Logic", press allswitches until all are dark.

    6. Rotate AC Fuel Pump 1 knob to "Auto".Cross Feed should be "Off", DC Pump to

    "Auto".

    7. TRU 1, TRU Essential and TRU2 to "Auto",DC Bus Ties to "Auto".

    Now that the aircraft is self-sufficient,you are ready to start the engines :

    8. Confirm Ignition Knobs are set to "Auto".Red Beacon should be set "On".

    9. Right mouse click on the #2 start cover toopen it, and Right click to rotate the start

    knob to "Start". Right click again to close the

    cover.

    10.Repeat to start engine 1.

    Unlike the EMB 145, takeoff data does not

    need to be entered/stored into the FADEC,

    and although unnecessary, it is possible toalter the takeoff information via the FMC.

    11.Shut down the APU by a left mouse click.12.Lower flaps to takeoff (2), left click belowthe Slat/Flap lever on the pedestal.

    13.Confirm your pitch trim is within thegreen band. I find a value of 5.9 is best.

    You're now ready to taxi to the active and

    depart. You will find the 170/190 handle

    beautifully by hand. At this point we've not

    input a flight plan into the FMC, nor

    programmed any other flight parameters that

    will be necessary in order to simulate a

    commercial flight.

    Reference the V Speed chart to determine

    your appropriate take off speeds, accounting

    at least for takeoff weight (the included

    charts also consider ambient temperature

    and ice/no ice conditions), and enter them

    via the Takeoff Page 3 in the FMS. On

    average, these speeds should be adequate:

    V1 - 133; VR - 136; V2 - 142; VFS - 198. Enter

    the numbers into the scratch pad (this

    process will be explained a little bit later),

    and left click the appropriate key next to the

    V speed you wish to enter. The V speeds will

    appear at the bottom of the speed tape:

    Entering VR at 138 and V2 at 131

    will result in the V Speeds appearing at the

    bottom of the speed tape on your PFD.

    TAKE OFF

    PFD MFD EICASYour Embraer sports three glass gauges,

    collectively known as EFIS (Electronic Flight

    Instruments System). The EFIS is comprised

    of the PFD (Primary Flight Display), the MFD

    (Multi Function Display) and the EICAS (Engine

    Indication and Crew Alert System). Unlike its

    smaller sibling, the 170/190 is not equipped

    with a Radio Management Unit. Rather, the

    Com and Nav frequencies are entered via the

    APU is

    running

    QUICK START

    FMC (Flight Management Computer) or

    directly on the PFD. We'll get back to that

    later.

    Open the pedestal (shift-4 via the keyboard)

    and with the parking brake released, left

    click the T/O CONFIG button just above the

    throttles. If you are properly configured for

    departure, you'll hear "Takeoff Okay". If

    you've forgotten something, you'll hear about

    it!

    1. Speedbrake

    3. Start Switches

    4. Take Off Config. Button

    5. Throttles. Note TO/GA indicator

    6. Slat/Flap

    Lined up and ready to go. Press the Auto

    Throttle button on the glare shield auto flight

    panel, and note 'AT' is indicated on the PFD.

    A hidden click spot over SPEED will rotate

    the knob to either FMS or MAN. In FMS, the

    Flight Management Computer will be

    responsible for your speed management. In

    MAN, the speeds are entirely up to the crew

    to manage. Remember that even with this

    knob to FMS, the A/T button must be

    pressed and the Auto Throttle engaged in

    order to have automated speed

    management!

    Apply the brake and advance the throttles to

    about 70% and confirm the engine readings on

    the EICAS are equal and within normal limits.

    If everything looks good, advance the

    throttles to take off power and release the

    brakes. Remember to enable TO/GA. You

    may either use the hidden click spot above

    the A/T button, or assign a keystroke (defaultis Ctrl+Shift+G) to a joystick button in either

    Flight Simulator or the E170/190 setup utility.

    aircraft's current speed (164 and climbing

    MAIN PANEL

    according to the Speed Trend Indicator). The

    Magenta 'F' is the Flap Retraction Speed

    reference. The Green circle is the ideal

    speed to select flap position. The Amber

    band at the bottom of the tape is the

    Proximity To Stall Speed indicator (Low speed

    awareness tape). Amber indicates from 1.13

    of VSTALL to VSHAKER (for airspeeds below

    Mach 0.45). Red will indicate at or below

    VSHAKER. Best to avoid speeds within this

    area if it your intention to re-use the aircraft.

    The Red/White Barber Pole indicates the

    VMO/MMO speed (Maximum Operating Speed

    Limit). The GSPD is your IRS-based Ground

    Speed.

    You will also see the following above/below

    range, Amber displays low speed awareness.

    The right side is the Vertical Speed Scale.

    The empty box above the scale is for the

    digital vertical speed readout. The vertical

    speed pointer is within the scale. The '2600'

    within the scale is the digital vertical speed

    readout.

    On the left is the Altitude Tape Indicators.

    The tape indicates actual aircraft altitude,labeled with tick marks every 100 feet and

    single or double-lined chevrons at every 500

    or 1,000 feet intervals, respectively. The

    Green '1640' is a rolling digital altitude

    readout. The Green hashmarked box on the

    left of the readout indicates an altitude

    below 10,000 feet. The bottom 29.92 is

    current barometric pressure. There is a

    White altitude trend vector bar on the very

    left side extending upward, showing where

    the aircraft will be within 6 seconds at

    current speed and rate of ascent. There is

    also a Cyan selected altitude bug, half of

    Enabling the TCAS is a three step process:

    First, check the box labeled 'TCAS'.

    Here you will find a few choices. Placing the

    mouse cursor over the BLW/NRM/ABV and

    rotating the mouse wheel will highlight in

    Green one of the three choices: Below your

    aircraft, Above your aircraft and Normal, or

    on or about your level. ABS refers to Absolute

    relation of the contact to your aircraft. That

    is, with ABS checked, the contact that is

    displayed on the MFD will display the actual

    altitude of that contact. Unchecking ABS will

    display RELATIVE, and all contacts will display

    the altitude of the contacts as they relate to

    your aircraft. A display of - 12 will indicate a

    contact that is 1,200 feet below your

    position. An arrow pointing up or down

    indicates the altitude trend of the contact.

    Second, click on MAP and check the box next

    to TCAS.

    Third, open the FMC and go to the RADIO

    page.

    Left clicking on LSK 6 will alternate the Green

    Right clicking on the window will enlarge it.

    A second click will normalize it.

    We'll look at this display one piece at a time:

    This part of the gauge displays the slat/flap

    position. Items in green display real-time

    surface position. The Cyan pointer indicates

    the commanded position along the scale of

    available movement. In the above example,

    the number "2" indicates the slat/flap surface

    position.

    The Trim configuration is displayed with the

    green pointer in the scales above. The five

    tick marks for the Roll/Yaw scale are at -

    100%, -50%, 0%, 50%, and 100%. The Pitch

    trim tick marks are positioned at 2, -1.75, -

    5.5, -9.25 and -13 degrees. The green band

    indicates appropriate take off trim setting,

    going from 1 to 6 degrees. The arrow and

    numbers in the box (the Pitch Trim Digital

    Readout) will turn amber when set outside

    permissible take off setting. An UP or DN

    indication displays above or below the

    readout box, according to trim set.

    Displays of fuel quantity in each tank, oil

    pressure in PSI and temp and engine vibrationin the low and high pressure sections of each

    engine.

    Displays of the status of landing gear, APU

    status and cabin pressure.

    MAIN PANEL

    EICAS Engine Display. REV will display upon

    deployment of the reversers. Green when

    fully deployed, Amber in transition and Red

    when there is a discrepancy between

    selected and actual reverser positions. N1

    displays the percentage of N1 RPM. Green in

    operational range, Red when limit is

    exceeded. The Green pointer is an indicator

    of what is shown digitally. Green for normal

    range, Red when limit exceeds values. An

    Amber FAIL box will display if the engine has

    flamed out or shut down without pilot action.

    The Cyan OFF is displayed with the engine off

    by pilot action. ATTCS Indication (not

    displayed here) will display to indicate the

    Automatic Takeoff Thrust Control System

    status. Green is armed, White is enabled,

    and it is blank when not selected.

    The Cyan indicator within the circular gauge

    is the N1 Request Indication, and shows the

    momentary difference between the Actual N1

    and the N1 requested via thrust lever

    position. The Cyan arrow on the outside of

    the circular gauge is the N1 target indicator.

    This is the maximum N1 engine thrust rating

    mode indicated on the EICAS (T/0-1). If the

    request is invalid, the digits are removed

    from the display (91.7). The T/0-1 is the

    Thrust Rating Mode Indicator. The Red tick

    mark inside the circular gauge displays the

    maximum allowable ITT (Inter Turbine

    Temperature). It limits thrust, preventing

    the engines from exceeding maximum ITT.

    The Red line changes to Amber after the end

    of the takeoff phase, but will display Red in

    flight if the ITT goes above the CON

    (Continuous Thrust) rating limit.

    N2 is a digital indication of the N2 RPM.

    Green in normal operating range, Red when

    operating limit is exceeded. FF/PPH displays

    Fuel Flow in Pounds Per Hour, per engine.

    AUTOFLIGHT

    Glareshield Panel (Automatic Flight Control

    System - AFCS; Flight Guidance Control

    TMS)

    This is the workstation for the lateral and

    vertical autoflight controls, thrust

    management, barometer and PFD setting

    controls. As before, we'll take this one

    piece at a time.

    GUIDANCE PANEL

    The Guidance Panel provides the means to

    control lateral and vertical guidance control

    and management of the AFCS. It contains

    two independent channels (A & B) that

    communicate with the FGCS, but only 1 is

    modeled in this simulation.

    FLIGHT MODE ANNUNCIATOR(FMA)

    Displays indications of autothrottle,

    autopilot, active AFCS channel, lateral mode

    and vertical mode.

    Color Code:Magenta: FMS commanded active/engaged

    mode.

    Green: Non-FMS commanded

    active/engaged mode.

    White: Armed mode.

    Amber: Alert condition.

    Red: Abnormal condition.

    AUTOPILOT APPROACH STATUSANNUNCIATORThis describes current approach status and

    some alert levels if necessary. The Left side

    displays either the armed status (White) or

    the discrepancy between system capability

    and crew requested approach (Amber). A

    flashing Amber alert function is advising the

    crew to correct the RA Minimums, which is

    seen as a digital readout on the PFD.

    The Right side displays the current engaged

    status. Terminology for the two system

    capability levels are:

    APPROACH 2 (APPR 2) - ILS CAT II capable.

    APPROACH 1 (APPR 1) - ILS CAT I capable.

    active/engaged mode.

    White - Armed Mode.

    Amber - Alert condition.

    RED - Abnormal condition.

    Only one lateral mode may be

    armed/activated at one time. The lateral

    navigation (steering) modes are:

    Roll Hold - Basic Lateral Mode (ROLL)Activated when the active lateral mode is

    deactivated & when the TO mode is selected

    on the ground by pressing the TOGA button.

    Heading Select - (HDG)Activated when the HDG pushbutton on the

    Glareshield Panel (GP) is pressed & when the

    LNAV, LOC or BC modes are armed.

    Remember pressing the center of the

    selector knob synchronizes the heading bug

    with your current heading! The FlightDirector (FD) will follow the selected

    heading and will turn to the side

    commanded, even if the turn is beyond 180

    degrees.

    Lateral Navigation - (LNAV) (press the NAVbutton)

    The FD provides lateral guidance commands

    for interception, capture and tracking. It is

    selected by pressing the NAV button on the

    GP. It uses the FMS as its source of

    navigation data.

    Localizer - (LOC) (press the APP button)Selected by pressing the APP button on the

    GP. The FD manages the LOC and Back-

    Course according to Localizer frequency, PFD

    information and the aircraft's position.

    Back-Course - (BC)The FD will automatically select a BC

    approach on the PFD. The FGCS provides

    commands for capture and tracking of a BC

    localizer indicated on the selected PFD.

    VERTICAL MODESVertical Guidance

    (Also known as "How do I go up and down?")

    BOLD indicates FMA display.

    One vertical mode may be active and one or

    two may be armed at a time.

    Flight Path Angle - (FPA)Except for TO, this is the basic vertical

    mode. It becomes active when the FPA

    pushbutton on the GP panel is pressed, by

    engaging the autopilot when no FD mode isactive, when a lateral mode is activated and

    there is no vertical flight director guidance

    mode active and when deselecting the

    current vertical mode.

    The flight path reference line (FPR) isdisplayed when the FPA is active. Pressing

    the FPR button in the display controller

    panel displays the FPR line regardless of the

    active vertical mode.

    Flight path angle (+/- 9.9 degrees) is

    selected with the FPA SEL selector knob on

    the guidance panel of the GP.

    Takeoff - (TO)This is an FD only mode and is represented

    by crossbars on the PFD. It commands the

    aircraft to maintain a pitch attitude

    reference. Pressing the TOGA click spot

    (invisible click spot above the AP button)

    activates the TO mode. TO mode is

    deactivated when another vertical mode is

    selected, AP/FD TCS button is pressed or AP

    is activated. The initial TO guidance is the

    flap-pitch indication as follows:

    AUTOFLIGHT

    FLAP 1 - pitch 11 degrees

    FLAP 2 - pitch 10 degrees

    FLAP 4 - pitch 12 degrees

    Altitude Select - (ASEL)This mode captures and levels off at the

    altitude selected via the ASEL knob and

    displayed on the PFD. A Green ASEL is

    displayed on the FMA while the altitude

    select mode captures the pre-selected

    altitude, then a Green ALT is displayed when

    leveled off at the selected altitude.

    Altitude select is armed automatically

    whenever any vertical FD mode is selected.

    Flight Level Change - (FLCH)FLCH provides flight path command to climb

    or descend according to the speed selected

    in the Speed Selector knob. The selected

    speed is displayed in the box above the

    speed tape on the PFD, and when youraltitude approaches FL290, it switches from

    IAS to Mach readout during climb, and from

    Mach to IAS during descent. FLCH mode is

    activated by pressing the FLCH button. It

    deactivates when another vertical mode is

    selected.

    Altitude Hold - (ALT)Selected by the ALT button, this enables the

    altitude hold mode. The altitude maya be

    selected via the ALT SEL knob. After ALT

    mode engagement, change to another

    vertical mode is possible only by selecting a

    different altitude via the ALT SEL knob.

    Vertical Speed - (VS)This mode maintains a vertical speed rate.

    VS is activated by pressing the VS button on

    the GP. It has a range from -8000 ft/min to

    + 6000 ft/min.

    Vertical Navigation - (VNAV)The VNAV may be enabled manually by

    pressing the VNAV button on the GP when

    altitude is above 400 feet, or automatically

    upon crossing 400 feet after ground arming.

    VNAV only selects the appropriate vertical

    mode to accomplish the vertical profile.

    VNAV sub-modes are VARM, VFLCH, VASEL,

    VALT and VPATH.

    VFLCH (VNAV Flight Level Change): AFCS

    maintains the manual or FMS speed

    controlling the aircraft's pitch attitude.

    When in VALT mode, the VFLCH mode may

    be selected by pressing the FLCH button on

    the GP with the Alt Selector set to an

    altitude other than the aircraft's current

    level.

    VASEL (VNAV Altitude Capture): This

    captures the Alt Selector altitude or the FMS

    waypoint altitude constraints.

    VALT (VNAV Altitude Hold): This maintains

    the altitude commanded by the FMS or the

    Alt Selector. If the VNAV is disengaged whilein VALT the active mode becomes FPA.

    VPATH (VNAV Path): In this mode the FMS

    flies a constant descent angle between two

    waypoints.

    SPEED CONTROL

    Speed control may be manual or automatic

    (FMS directed) depending on the selection

    on the Speed Selector Knob. The FMS

    selection allows the FMS to send its defined

    speeds as target speeds for FGCS.

    MANUAL - With the knob set to MAN, you are

    responsible for speed control during the

    entire flight.

    FMS - In FMS, the speed commands are sent

    from the FMS for departure, climb, cruise,

    descent, approach and (if necessary) go

    these settings may be modified in flight.

    Also note if the Auto Throttle is not engaged

    you are responsible for speed control during

    the entire flight!

    AUTOTHROTTLE FMA INDICATIONSSPDT - Speed on Thrust

    SPDE - Speed on Elevator (Flight Level

    Change Thrust)

    TO - Take Off Thrust Control Mode

    GA - Go-Around Thrust Control Mode

    HOLD - Take Off Thrust Hold Mode

    RETARD - RETARD Mode

    SPEED ON THRUST (SPDT)Thrust rate as programmed to maintain the

    desired (set) speed. Vertical modes relating

    to SPDT are: Flight Path Angle (FPA) - the

    basic vertical mode; Vertical Speed (VS);

    Glide Slope (GS); Altitude Hold (ALT);

    Altitude Select (ASEL).

    FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE THRUST CONTROLMODE - SPEED ON ELEVATOR (SPDE)The Auto Throttle maintains a fixed thrust

    setting, and the Auto Pilot maintains the

    selected speed via an elevator command.

    For small flight level changes (FLCH mode)

    the Auto Throttle commands thrust needed

    in order to maintain a comfortable

    predetermined rate based on vertical speed.For large flight level changes, the Auto

    Throttle commands climb in setting CLIMB

    rating and descent in IDLE rating. The

    vertical modes relating to SPDE mode are:

    Flight Level Change (FLCH); Overspeed

    (OVSP).

    TAKEOFF THRUST CONTROL MODE (TO)The Auto Throttle commands the thrust to

    TO/GA position when the AT is engaged and

    you've pressed the Takeoff/Go Around

    button.

    GO-AROUND THRUST CONTROL MODE (GA)The Go-Around mode advances the throttles

    to the TO/GA position.

    TAKEOFF THRUST HOLD CONTROL MODE(HOLD)

    The HOLD mode prevents movement of thethrust levers that could result in nastiness

    occurring during the TO phase. It is

    activated when TO mode is active and IAS is

    greater than 60Kt.

    RETARD MODEThis retards the thrust levers to idle position

    during flare on landing. It activates based

    on a Radio Altitude of less than 30 feet and

    the aircraft is in landing configuration.

    Once there is weight-on-wheels or wheel

    spin-up, the auto throttle automatically

    disengages.

    ILS APPROACH(also known as "How do I put this thing down

    without breaking anything?")

    The E170/190 is capable of two system

    capability levels:

    APPROACH 2 (APPR 2) - ILS CAT II capable.

    APPROACH 1 (APPR 1) - ILS CAT I capable.

    FMA Annunciation:

    When executing an ILS approach, the

    Autopilot Approach Status Annunciator

    displays the current status of the system and

    will advise if your intended approach is

    available with system capabilities. The

    RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums setting

    are what the system looks to for information

    regarding your intended approach. This part

    is important, so take a break and grab a

    AUTOFLIGHT

    sandwich. I'll wait.

    How was the sandwich? Ok, pay attention or

    you'll wonder why you can't autoland this

    thing.

    The RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums

    settings are what the aircraft system looks

    to for information about how you intend to

    land the bird. Note there are two MINIMUMS

    knobs on each side of the panel (are you

    writing this down?). When ILS modes are

    requested by pushing the APP button, the

    system will arm for the highest landing

    configuration available to it depending onhow the panel is currently set. Kind of

    freaky, but it knows this. When it sees all

    the necessary requirements are not met, an

    EICAS message is sent telling you in no

    uncertain terms that Category II ILS

    approach mode is not available. It is your

    fault. Read the manual.

    Here is what you need to set in order to

    accomplish CAT I and II approaches:

    CAT I - Set RA/BARO selector to BARO onBOTH SIDES.

    CAT II - Set RA/BARO selector to RA andadjust Minimums to at least 80 feet.

    The operational conditions necessary to

    accomplish a CAT II approach are:

    1. RA/BARO set to Radio Altitude (RA) and

    Minimums at 80 feet or above.

    2. Both NAV set to correct LOC frequency.

    3. Both PFD's set to correct LOC inbound

    course (V/L or Preview).

    4. Flap 5

    ALL THIS STUFF HAS TO BE DONEAT OR ABOVE 800 FT. RA.

    If the flap setting is the only remaining

    condition that needs to be accomplished for

    a CAT II, the "armed" status will remain

    displayed until you reach 800 ft. RA,reminding you there is still something that

    needs to be addressed. Annoying, but

    important.

    Your aircraft is looking for the following as

    you approach an ILS situation:

    At 1,500 Ft. the system starts attempting to

    engage the highest CAT available, based on

    current settings.

    At 800 ft. the system "freezes" the highest

    capability available, and you are stuck with

    it.

    You may wish to mark these pages.

    Just a thought.

    'MOD' flight plan. This will remain displayed

    until you hit the LSKR6 and activate the

    plan, at which time the 'MOD' changes to

    'ACTIVE'. Note: If you find your Flight

    Simulator is not accepting keyboard input,

    check to see if you've enabled keyboard

    entry to the FMC! The 'NO PRESENT

    POSITION' tells you you've neglected to tell

    the FMC your current location.

    In order to give you a flavor of the

    programming of the FMS, we'll use our

    ubiquitous flight from Islip McArthur Airport

    (KISP) to Albany International Airport (KALB).

    Once you've powered the unit, this is what

    you'll see. We'll keep this simple and enter

    only what we need to complete a flight.

    From here, press LSKR6 to initialize yourcurrent position.

    Left click LSKR2 in order to update the FMC

    as to your current position. Without this

    step, you'll be navigating by visual reference

    only.

    Ok, the FMC knows where you are. Now

    you've got three choices in telling it where

    you want to go and how to get there. You

    could choose LSKL6 providing you've already

    saved this flight in the format which is read

    by the software running your FMC. Your

    next choice is to add your route manually.

    This is fun but time consuming and prone toerror. Speaking for myself, I'll choose LSKL2

    every time. This choice automatically reads

    and loads your currently selected FS flight

    plan. Easy, quick and no errors.

    Having pressed LSKL2, you now see page one

    of three of your flight plan. Also note at the

    top it indicates a modified flight plan (MOD

    FLT PLAN). Once you press LSKR6 and

    activate it, it will become your active flight

    pounds of fuel set for reserve. They don't

    refer to me as "Wrong Way" for nothing.Press LSKL2 to enter the fuel value. LSKR2

    will give you further options, too.

    Page 3 of 3, and an important one. Confirm

    your transition altitude, which changes. The

    United States uses FL180 (18,000 feet).

    Other nations use lower levels. Enter the

    appropriate level using LSKL1 by entering it

    via number pad into the scratchpad, and

    then press LSKL1. Your zero fuel weight is

    entered the same way in LSKL6. Figure the

    ZFW by subtracting the fuel weight from the

    gross weight. Go to the menu bar,

    figures. Once you enter this as above, the

    remaining values will be auto filled for you.

    You'll want to enter your anticipated cruise

    altitude in the format 23000 into the scratch

    pad, and then LSKR3.

    Now here's a neat little trick you'll want toknow. Should you wish to "color outside the

    lines" just a little, take advantage of the

    included Fuel Manager.

    By entering 'FUEL' into the scratchpad, and

    then entering it via LSKR5, several items will

    be calculated for you: Your fuel to

    destination will be calculated, entered into

    the FMC and loaded into your aircraft; Fuel

    to an alternate destination will be

    calculated, entered and loaded (providing

    you've entered an alternate plan in the

    FMC); Fuel for an average taxi and 3,200 lbs

    of reserve fuel will be added and loaded;

    your Zero Fuel Weight will be calculated and

    added. Not exactly "real world", but youdon't have to use it.

    Confirm your entries with LSKR6. Once

    done, you're presented with the

    Performance Data page option.

    LSKR6 for the PERF DATA page.

    Nothing to change here. Same for pages 2

    and 3. Press LSKR6 for the Takeoff page.

    Keyboard Entry button. A 'K' will appear in

    the upper left to alert you.

    Your keyboard will NOT transmit commands

    to FS until you press it again!

    Visit the Performance Index to jump to any

    page you may need. Also note the blank key

    beneath the FPL key. Press this for keyboardentry.

    You may bypass pages 1 and 2. Here on

    page 3 we are entering our takeoff V

    Speeds. Refer to the V Speed charts for the

    values. Entering is as usual: number keypad

    to the scratchpad, then LSKL 1 for V1, LSKL2

    for VR etc. Navigate to the Landing page,

    and eventually you'll enter the landing

    speeds the same way.

    Thrust Rating Select (TRS)

    Climb-1 is selected, highlighted in Green.

    Click LSKR2 to select Climb-2

    Click LSKR6 for manual thrust rating

    selection options.

    Pressing the TRS button brings you here.

    The TRS automatically figures the engine

    thrust according to the flight phase. Thismay also be selected manually, as will be

    explained below.

    In this screen shot, Thrust Rating is Auto in

    Take Off (TO) phase. TLA TRIM is basically a

    passenger comfort tool which reduces

    excessive thrust lever movements. It is ON

    whenever AT is engaged. It will work even if

    the AT is disengaged if you have set it ON, as

    in the above picture.

    The FADEC transmits the thrust rating and

    N1 values that are figured by the TRS to the

    EICAS. This is demonstrated in this manual.

    The thrust ratings that are transmitted by

    the TRS are:

    * Take Off (TO)* Go Around (GA)

    * Climb-1 (CLB-1)

    * Climb-2 (CLB-2)

    * Cruise (CRZ)

    * Continuous (CON)

    Here you may set the TO thrust rate mode,

    the TO temperature, the ATTCS ON or OFF

    and FLEX TO mode. REF A/I is refers to anti-

    ice. Here you may select OFF, ENG (engine

    anti-ice) or ALL. When anti-ice is in the

    AUTO position, you must choose one of these

    three options.

    The flexible take off options provide

    reduced thrust based on assumedtemperature. This assumed temperature is

    set on the MCDU TAKEOFF page. The FADEC

    determines flexible takeoff rates for any of

    the three take off modes, reducing the

    thrust and reducing engine wear.

    TO-1 is the highest thrust rating available

    with both engines operating normally taking

    into account the thrust levers at the TOGA

    position.

    TO-2 & TO-3 are limited thrust settings, as

    described on the FMC window.

    FLIGHT PLAN DISCONTINUITIESIn order to remove a discontinuity, you have

    two choices:

    * Push the DEL function key and then select

    the scratchpad "DELETE" on the LSKL or R

    key adjacent to the discontinuity, or -

    * Press the LSKL key adjacent to the

    waypoint above the listed discontinuity. It

    will appear in the scratch pad. Now press

    the LSKL key adjacent to the discontinuity

    and you will replace it with the waypoint

    from the scratchpad.

    FLYING DIRECT TOIf in the course of your flight you find the

    need to fly to a waypoint other than the one

    that is next in your flightplan, here is how

    you do it:

    Go to the Active Flt Plan page, as above,

    and press the LSKL key adjacent to the

    waypoint to which you wish to fly. In this

    case, LSKL2.

    Here, I've pressed LSKL2 and entered GFL

    into the scratchpad. Now, press LSKL1.

    As you see, the flight plan indicates it is

    modified (MOD FLT PLAN), and is telling you

    the DIRECT waypoint will now be GFL. You

    may either CANCEL your command with

    LSKL6 or ACTIVATE it with LSKR6.

    You know it has been accepted by the

    'ACTIVE FLT PLAN' on top of the display.

    INTERCEPT COURSE

    We've been directed by ATC to fly heading

    014 to intercept the 010 radial of GFL (Glens

    Falls VOR). Nothing to it. We'll do the

    Direct To into GFL, and then input 190 into

    LSKR5 (INTC CRS).

    We enter 190 as while the radial we're

    directed to is 010, we've got to figure out

    the reciprocal of the 010 heading as we're

    on the "TO" side of the VOR. So, just add

    180 degrees to the 10 degree heading, and

    that gives you 190. The 190 radial is

    actually the continuation of the 010 radial

    on the opposite side (the side we happen to

    be on). Now, take the 190 and enter it as

    the INTERCEPT COURSE, and then ACTIVATE.

    FMS must be the Nav source!

    Another option to this scenario is to simplydial the requested radial (010) using the CRS

    knob, tune the NAV 1 radio to the frequency

    of the Glens Falls (GFL) VOR (110.2,

    according to the default MS Map), and then

    fly the requested heading (014). Ensure the

    FMS is not the navigation source and press

    the NAV button. The aircraft will turn to

    follow the 010 outbound radial when it

    crosses the inbound reciprocal (190). Cool,

    eh?

    FLYING PATTERNS

    It is a simple matter to fly Holds, Procedure

    Turns and Flyovers. We'll look at the most

    common, Holds.

    Press the NAV button to bring up the NAV

    INDEX.

    This is page 1 of 2. LSKR5 brings you to the

    HOLD page. If you advance to page 2, LSKL2

    will bring you to PATTERNS for HOLD,

    FLYOVER and PCDR TURN.

    Access HOLD from either page.

    If there is no HOLD already in the flight

    plan, *HOLD* appears in the scratchpad as

    above. If there is a HOLD, select LSKL6 for

    NEW HOLD.

    Now, select the LSKL key adjacent to the

    waypoint at which you wish to fly the HOLD.

    I clicked LSKL3, TRIKY, at which to fly the

    HOLD. Now I may choose to clear it or

    insert it into the flight plan.

    The flight plan has been modified (MOD),

    and needs to be either canceled or

    activated.

    Now active, note the Green box around the

    'H' next to waypoint TRIKY at LSKL3. Your

    bird will automatically fly the HOLD. This isthe default HOLD. It could have been

    modified as be low.

    Any inbound course and/or turn direction at

    LSKL2. Above, the entry is South (S) and

    gives you a 'DIRECT' entry. Selecting N

    automatically gives you a 'PARALLEL' entry, E

    a 'TEARDROP' entry, and W a 'DIRECT' entry.

    Holding at present position is achieved by

    selecting the HOLD prompt from the NAVindex. Press the LSKL key adjacent to the

    waypoint on top of page 1 of the active

    flightplan.

    The HOLD FIX at LSKL1 is indicated as PPOS.

    Note holding at present position may be

    done only when LNAV is captured and the

    crosstrack error is less than 0.25 NM.

    A HOLD may be deleted from the active

    flight plan. Go to the active flight plan page

    showing the holding fix. Press the DEL key,

    and *DELETE* appears in the scratchpad.

    Press the LSKL key adjacent to the waypoint

    that has the 'H' in the Green box. This will

    delete the HOLD but not the waypoint.

    Exiting a HOLD is done, naturally, during the

    HOLD. The ACTIVE FLT PLAN page will

    display an EXIT prompt. If you press this

    before crossing the holding fix, the HOLDpattern is deleted from the flight plan. If

    you press EXIT after passing the waypoint

    holding fix, you will turn back to the fix,

    overfly it and continue with the flight plan.

    You may also press the LSKL key adjacent to

    RESUME HOLD.

    Flyover and Procedure Turns are both done

    in similar fashion.
