Pmdg 777 manual pdf download

And I really admire the amount of work that someone put into this manual! This shows how well they are prepared. Only pages are sufficient to explain how to take this plane for a short flight from Dubai to Maldives — from the startup to shutdown.

Do not worry — illustrations take a lot of space in this tutorial. If you decide to follow it — you will fly to Male and get the basic knowledge about FMC programming and autopilot operations.

I did not see any differences between this manuals and the real world manuals of the that I had earlier. Differences I noticed can be explained by the different equipment used in the airline from which the manual came from. That is the biggest discrepancy.

FCTM describes maneuvers and techniques used by Boeing crews. It is a broad document that explains the reasons and the context of some tasks. FCOM in contrast will focus on what to do and when to do it. FCOM covers procedures checklists and aircraft performance in volume one. QRH is a checklist collection that should help in solving any problems that may occur during flight.

I know that three and half thousand pages sounds scary. Especially when compared to an ordinary FSX add-on that has only 30 or 50 page manual. I will share my experience — I never considered it an obligatory reading. I am not trying to be the real world pilot and I do not have to acquire knowledge of each and every system, button and knob on this plane. Learning how to fly the is a process. In real world this process starts when a pilot learns to fly planes that are less complicated.

Later it is nice to get into this and tweak your a little. This tab installs a replacement sounds — low-quality cockpit sounds to lower memory usage and surround sounds for external views.

This feature is very useful — in just a minute I selected the liveries that I liked and installed them. There are tens of liveries to choose from. Each of this liveries is just one click away — no changes in aircraft. I am impatient! It took me 10 minutes to get to the cockpit from the moment I downloaded the plane.

All the configuration settings are optional — you can use them and I am sure you will but they do not require your attention if you just want to enjoy your new plane. Powered by WordPress Popup.

While inside, take a moment to pick up the paperwork. While the route will be sent to us over the company Data Link, it is: NF While the route specifies an initial altitude the initial NF means kNots TAS and an initial altitude of FL more on this later along with various step altitudes throughout the route, these must be adapted to the flight conditions. The initial altitude, barring any drastic changes in passenger or cargo load, is usually quite accurate, but differences in forecast versus actual wind can throw off step locations.

The step locations in the above textual route are there because the NATs are treated as constant speed and constant altitude segments for spacing concerns. In the case the route does not have constant speed and altitude segments, these would not be set into the LEGS page, and instead, the VNAV page would drive step points.

This is explained in greater detail after departure in the interest of getting airborne. Note that the STAR is also filed ahead of time. While this means that the STAR may change, it is still filed as part of the flight plan in case of radio failure. This sets up the expectation that, if something should happen, the crew would fly the filed route. There is more detail on saving and loading and even searching flight plans in the intro manual if youre curious.

Without entering a runway, the FMC wont accept the SID selection, so well hold off on the departure entry until calling for clearance. Overwrite the CALC value by entering Since we do not have a runway assignment yet the CDU setup is as complete as it can be for now. NOTE: There are two schools of thought here. One thought is to use your best guess of which runway will be in use and change the runway later, if necessary. The other thought is to simply wait until a runway is assigned.

Unless you are sure which runway you will be assigned, I would suggest waiting particularly if on an online network with an active controller. Runway selection is often not as simple as most assume.

This is a discretionary item time-wise though you should aim to have it on and ready minutes prior to departure. The simulated images have been included this to give an idea of how CPDLC works and what it looks like. Similarly, the comments about an EFB are made simply to convey a complete picture of a normal flight deck work flow. Just listen to any LiveATC feed at a larger international airport and youll notice that there are fewer clearances actually being given over the radio.

The pictured PDC confirms that we are cleared as filed, but adds information that we will have to act upon beyond hitting the ACPT button on the glareshield.

The PDC adds that we have been assigned Runway 30 this is planned if a controller amends this, you should accommodate it unless the aircraft performance limits this change , we are to fly the CAPITAL8 departure, the departure frequency will be Note that this actually results in a 2 knot tailwind.

This is realistically one of the many cases in which a departure runway that is not aligned such that you actually have a headwind. Takeoff performance is more than calculating start-stop distance for the runway itself. This is also somewhat evidenced by the FT of margin estimated remaining amount of runway at liftoff. The taxi route from C2 to Runway 30 will be as assigned, but likely via Zulu, and Yankee Ramp, Precision heavy at C2 requests push for Runway Precision heavy, ramp tower.

Push straight back and taxi west on Echo. As C2 is so close to a taxiway, a pushback for Runway 30 is simply straight back use feet. Start the engines during the pushback. After the pushback, set takeoff flaps and check the flight controls using the FCTL synoptic.

Precision heavy, Dulles Ground. Runway 30, taxi via Zulu, Yankee Altimeter Change to that frequency and wait to be called theres a difference between contact and monitor the latter means that tower knows ground has instructed you to change frequencies and will call you first. Remember to set the departure frequency of Vectored departures can be difficult without direction from a human controller as was previously mentioned for runway selection as well.

Vectors are a tool used by controllers to provide an adjustable path to properly accommodate aircraft performance differences and other constraints. The problem, though, is that without a controller who has knowledge of the vectoring procedures for the airport, you may be lost in trying to vector yourself.

I will provide an explanation of the CAPITAL8 vectoring guidelines in an attempt to teach a little about vectoring technique, which should help you self-vector for any airport that has such vectored departures:. If you look at the CAPITAL8 departure on a chart, youll notice that there is a dashed line splitting the bottom half from the top half.

While this is actually there to depict which departure frequency you use, it can also somewhat determine the runway assigned. If the 19s are being used, they will be used to send aircraft to any fix south of the dashed line, with Runway 30 used for any fix north of that.

If the 1s are being used, they will be used to send aircraft to any fix north of the dashed line, with Runway 30 used for any fix south of it. Since the wind is from the south today the 19s are in use, which means that Runway 30 is used for north departures SWANN is highlighted on the north side in the above image. Generally, the tower controller will provide a heading of about after departure. This allows you to turn northbound, while also increasing the distance between you and arriving aircraft remember, the 19s are still in use here, so aircraft are southbound just north of you.

A heading of about is given through the gate, and then direct to the first fix as soon as practical. Thereafter, the maximum altitude youll get while talking to the controller on The max altitude thereafter depends on the controller you get handed to, and the description of the airspace becomes so complex at this point that Id prefer not to go into more detail.

The basics, though, are that your next altitude assignment will be somewhere between about and FL Thereafter, you get passed to Washington Center for the final climb.

You can see this approximated in the departure photos that follow. I will also describe it in the narrative. For this departure, set the altitude at your discretion. I suggest skipping the restriction and setting prior to departure for the purpose of this tutorial, as you will be rather task saturated on departure.

Do not do this when on an online network. Precision heavy, after departure fly heading Wind at Runway 30, cleared for takeoff. Heading after departure. Cleared for takeoff, Precision heavy. Engage the autopilot at your discretion to free your hands to switch to the departure frequency.

Passing through , change this heading to Since weve been cleared above , set the altimeter to standard. It is not necessary to wait until you are close to, or at or whatever the transition altitude might be in a particular area to set this set it once youre cleared above to ensure you dont forget. SOP guidance on this item from various operators differs, however.

Without an automatic PLN load function as we set earlier in ASN itself , you must either load a plan in your weather program manually. If you do not do this, the PMDG will request wind data for as far as the weather program will provide usually dependent on your settings, but will usually only include data for a few fixes ahead of you, and will not include descent data as, without a plan, the weather program does not know where you will begin your descent.

NOTE: If you did not have this selected prior to just now, give the setting a few seconds to take effect and for ASN to pick the plan up, read it, and create a WX file.

As much of the flow is primarily eastbound overnight and westbound during the day, the tracks are wholly east- and west-bound for blocks of time. Adding to this, if you read a track message, youll note that all altitudes are open to that direction of flow regardless of the basic east-odd, west-even altitude usage in RVSM airspace. I could write a standard review, rating each and every feature of this plane with 5 or 6 start but that makes no sens.

Instead — I am going to publish a series of texts introducing this plane and describing my experience with it. This review is not about changing your opinion. This review will be very detailed. Sometimes I will put things in the simplest possible terms — for the people who have never flown an advanced plane before. If you think that this part or the next explains something obvious — skip it and go to the next part — I hope I will surprise you every now and then even if you have flown this plane many times.

PMDG is sold as a download package. Download links and product key is send in an email after the purchase is completed. The installer is fully automatic. It may install some Microsoft libraries — they are necessary for this product to work correctly. Activation is required on the first run of this plane. In my case it went through without a slightest problem — I entered the key — it was verified online in a moment.

This manual explains the specifics of Boeing simulation in FSX. The first part of this document covers:. Doors Window in FMC menu — to save some space I refrained from copying the empty part of this page of the manual.
