Introduction
elcome to the Level-D Simulations 767-300ER for Flight Simulator X. Veteran users will discover some new system features have been added to the FSX version. For the new user, welcome to the one of the most advanced products ever developed for Flight Simulator.
These chapters provide a solid foundation for the proper operation of the 767. Subsequent chapter study can proceed in any order desired. Each system chapter is organized into four sections. The rst part of each section is the system description. The applicable system is explained in detail. The second part explains all panel controls associated with the system. The third part highlights normal procedures associated with the system. The nal section will offer any system EICAS messages (if applicable). A read through of the controls explanations of each chapter provides a better understanding of how the 767 panel operates without having to study the details of each system. This is particularly helpful when learning checklists and procedures. Although it is recommended that each system be thoroughly understood, it is not an absolute requirement if the normal checklists are followed. The only exception to this is the AFDS and FMS sections. Those should be read and understood completely.
Overview
The Level-D Simulations 767-300 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a complex simulation. This manual offers an in depth examination of the aircrafts panel and systems. The panel is a complete reproduction of a 767-300 cockpit in both the traditional (2D) multi-panel environment, as well as a fully functional virtual (3D) cockpit. The included aircraft comes in a variety of aircraft liveries (which can be freely downloaded from the Level-D Simulations home on the internet at http://www.leveldsim.com) and can be installed to FSX using the updated for FSX Repaint Manager utility provided by Flight1 (and installed to the Windows desktop). Selection of one of the included aircraft via the normal ight simulator menu loads both the aircraft and the panels. This section of the manual offers an overview of the program, panel layout, menu options, setup considerations, and 767 specications. The Level-D and B767 Specic menu are described in detail within this section. The remaining sections of this manual explain the aircraft systems and controls. The panel is initially loaded in a ready-to-y state. All systems are set correctly for normal ight operations. The aircraft can be own manually using all normal simulator controls available in MSFS. To use the automatic pilot and navigation capabilities of the aircraft, it is recommended that the AFDS and FMC sections of this manual be reviewed thoroughly.

This chapter describes miscellaneous airplane systems, including lighting systems and passenger cabin signs.
Aircraft Lighting
The landing lights consist of the left, right, and nose gear landing lights. The left and right landing lights are located in the left and right wing root and are optimized for are and ground roll. The two nose gearlocated landing lights are optimized for approach. The nose gear landing lights are inoperative when the nose landing gear is not down and locked. There are two runway turnoff lights. They are located in the left & right wing root. The navigation position lights are standard red (left forward wing-tip), green (right forward wing-tip), & white (aft tip of both wings) position lights. The white anticollision lights are strobe lights located on each wing tip. The red anticollision lights are strobe lights located on the top and bottom of the fuselage. The Wing lights are installed on the fuselage and illuminate the leading edge of the wing. Two taxi lights are installed on the xed portion of the nose landing gear. The lights are inoperative when the nose landing gear is not down and locked. Logo lights are located on the stabilizer to illuminate the logo on the vertical tail surface.
Indicator Lights
Indicator light brightness can be set to DIM or BRT with the indicator lights selector. The system automatically overrides the DIM position and illuminates the indicator lights full bright if the ambient ight deck light level increases to a preset crossover light value as detected by system sensors located on the center forward panel.
Emergency Lighting
The aft ight deck dome light (one bulb only), passenger cabin interior and exterior lights are powered by the emergency lighting system. These lights provide illumination for evacuating the airplane. The system is controlled by the emergency lights switch on the overhead panel. The switch can be used to manually activate or arm the system for automatic operation. Automatic operation occurs if DC power fails or is turned off when the system is armed.

Airplane, General 28
The pneumatic system is supplied air by the engines, APU or an external air source. The following systems use air from the pneumatic system: Air conditioning packs. Pressurization system. Engine starting. Engine and wing anti-ice. Hydraulic center system. Thrust reversers. The engines provide the primary source of air for the pneumatic system in ight. The APU is capable of supplying air for the pneumatic system in ight up to an altitude of 20,000 feet. When the engines are not running, the APU is the primary source of air to run the air condition packs and for engine starting. If the APU is not used (or inoperative), an external air source can be connected via the GND CALL button (Overhead Panel) or the Level-D Ground Request menu. The pneumatic system is separated into three separate systems via isolation valves. The opening and closing of three isolation valves controls distribution of air between the left, center and right pneumatic ducting. Normally the left and right pneumatic systems operate independently to power their respective system components. The center system normally uses air from either the left or right system when available to power its components.
Engine Bleeds
Bleed valves for the left and right engines control air supply from the engines to the pneumatic system. Control for these valves is provided by left and right engine bleed valve switches on the overhead pneumatic panel. These switches are pushed IN for all normal operations. When pushed in, the respective bleed valve is automatically controlled to open and close based on system demands. Main Bus DC power is required for the engine bleed valves. on the pneumatic panel is the only evidence of external air source availability. External air is generally used when the APU is shutdown or inoperative. The external air source is capable of powering the air conditioning packs and can be used for engine starting as well.
Pneumatic Distribution
The left, center, and right pneumatic ducts are connected by isolation valves. Opening and closing the isolation valves allows air to ow between each system such that one pneumatic air source can power the entire pneumatic system. Flow lines are drawn on the overhead pneumatic panel to help visualize the ow of air in the system. The left system provides air for operation of the left air conditioning pack and left wing anti-ice. The right system provides air for the right air conditioning pack and right wing anti-ice. The center system provides air for the air driven hydraulic pump and for cargo heat. Prior to engine start, the three isolation valves are normally open so that bleed air from the APU or the external air source can power the entire pneumatic system. After engine start, the left and right isolation valves are normally closed so that the left and right pneumatic systems are provided air by their respective engine bleed valves. The center isolation valve is normally open and the center duct pressurized with air drawn from both the left and right systems. If the center isolation valve is closed, the center system duct can only be pressurized with air from the APU. Left and right pneumatic duct pressure readings are shown by the pressure gauge on the pneumatic panel. There is no cockpit indication of center system duct pressure. This gauge is normally referenced during engine start since a minimum of 25 psi duct pressure is required for a successful start. If insufcient duct pressure is displayed prior to start, check to make sure the packs are OFF. With the packs off, a normal duct pressure reading is approximately 40 to 60 psi.
Air, Pneumatic System 29
APU Bleed
The APU bleed valve controls air supply from the APU to the pneumatic system. Control for the valve is provided by the APU bleed valve switch on the overhead pneumatic panel. This switch is pushed IN for all normal operations. When pushed in, the APU bleed valve is automatically controlled. The APU is capable of supplying sufcient air for the operation of the air conditioning packs or for engine starting. The APU bleed valve coordinates operation with the engine bleed valves. System logic provides for air supply to the pneumatic system based on available pressure. If the APU is the only source of air for the system, the APU bleed valve opens. If engine bleed air becomes available and is of sufcient pressure to supply the pneumatic demands, the APU bleed valve closes and the engine bleed valve opens. The APU is subjected to a one minute cool-down period if the APU bleed valve is in use when the APU is shut down. When the APU switch on the electric panel is turned OFF, the APU bleed valve cycles closed and the APU continues to run for one minute before shutting down. The APU is not subjected to this cool-down period if the APU was not use as a bleed source prior to shutdown.
The left, center, and right pneumatic ducts are monitored for leaks. A DUCT LEAK light illuminates if a leak is detected in the affected system. Additionally, the left and center ducts are monitored for pressure and temperature. A BLEED light illuminates if there is too much pressure in respective duct. An OVHT light illuminates if there is an over-temperature condition in the respective duct.
Pressurization System
Pressurization of the aircraft is achieved by regulating the outow of air from the cabin via an outow valve. Control of the pressurization system is provided on the overhead panel. The outow valve is normally controlled by one of two selectable automatic modes. These modes are identical and offer system redundancy. A failure of the operating mode leads to the automatic engagement of the other mode without pilot interaction. If both automatic modes fail, the outow valve can be controlled manually. The automatic modes are powered by the Main AC buses. The manual mode is powered by the Standby DC bus. Pressurization indications are provided on the overhead. Cabin altitude, cabin rate of climb, and cabin pressure differential readings are displayed. The pressurization indicators are powered by the Standby AC bus. If the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet, a CABIN ALTITUDE warning message is illuminated along with an aural warning. The outow valve is automatically driven closed in an attempt to maintain remaining cabin pressure when the cabin altitude warning is activated.
Equipment Cooling
Flight deck instruments and equipment in the electrical compartment are cooled using a common air supply, cooling fans, and exhaust ducting. Control for the system is provided on the overhead panel by a selector switch with AUTO, STBY and OVRD positions. The controller is normally left in the AUTO position. This allows for automatic operation of the system. The other positions are used if the automatic system fails or smoke is sensed in the electronics area.
Note The center isolation valve is normally open for all operations. The left and right isolation valves are normally open on the ground for engine starts and for pack operation via APU bleed air. The left and right isolation valves are normally closed after both engines are started. 3. DUCT LEAK Light When illuminated indicates a leak has been detected in the respective duct. The duct pressure gauge can be used to conrm a leak in the left or right ducts. 4. Left / Right Engine Bleed Valve Switch Controls the engine bleed valves.
Switch IN Engine bleed valve is controlled based on system demands. Switch OUT Engine bleed valve is commanded closed. OFF Illuminates when engine bleed valve is closed regardless of switch position.
Switch IN APU bleed valve is automatically controlled based on system logic. Switch OUT APU bleed valve is commanded closed. VALVE APU bleed valve is not in the commanded position or is in transit.

5. Temperature Control Knobs Regulate the temperature in the respective cabin. AUTO Temperature in respective cabin is automatically maintained at the selected 1 relative value. Operating range is from 65F/19C (C) to 85F/29C (W). OFF Compartment temp control is OFF. Compartment temp regulated to the pack outlet temperature. 6. Temperature Selector INOP Lights When illuminated indicate that the respective temperature controller is OFF, the Trim Air switch is OFF, or the temperature controller has failed. All three INOP lights illuminate when the Trim Air switch is OFF. 7. Compartment Temperature Indicator Displays the FWD, MID and AFT compartment temperatures in both celcius and fahrenheit (depends on the enabled FS International settings).

Autoight System 35
Autoight System
Automatic control of the aircrafts ight path from takeoff to landing is possible with the use of the following systems: Flight Control Computers (FCC), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), Autothrottle, AFDS Mode Control Panel (MCP), and the Flight Management Computer (FMC). The FCCs provide the source information for the AFDS. The AFDS provides pitch and roll ight commands to the pilot and the autopilot via the ight director. The autothrottle handles the automatic application of power for each phase of ight. The AFDS MCP located in the center of the main panel provides for control of the Autoight system. The FMC provides for complete control over route navigation and power settings for climb, cruise and descent. The autoight system is the heart of 767. Understanding all autoight modes and controls described in this section will greatly enhance your ability to successfully operate the 767-300ER.
Autopilot (CMD)
Left, Center and Right autopilots are available for engagement via the MCP CMD buttons. Engagement of an autopilot is annunciated as CMD on the EADI. When engaged, the autopilot moves the ight controls to follow the ight director commands selected on the MCP. Each autopilot requires electrical and hydraulic power to function normally. The Left and Center autopilots are powered by the Left Main AC Bus. The Right autopilot is powered from the Right Main AC Bus. The three autopilots receive hydraulic power from their respective (Left, Center and Right) hydraulic systems. Normally, only one autopilot is engaged in CMD mode for climb, cruise, descent, and approach by pressing Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS) one of the three CMD buttons on the MCP. CMD is The AFDS uses information from the FCCs to provide annunciated on the EADI to indicate that the autopilot is guidance to the pilot and the autopilot via the Flight engaged.

The LOC mode works the same as described previously with armed and engaged modes to track the localizer. The glideslope mode also has armed and engaged modes. GS is annunciated on the EADI in white when armed and green when engaged. When armed, the AFDS remains in the current vertical mode until GS is engaged. The engaged mode occurs when the aircraft is actively tracking the glideslope. When GS is engaged, the vertical track of the aircraft is controlled to follow the glideslope. The Backcourse mode (BCRS) is selected by pressing the BCRS button in conjunction with the LOC button. This mode is exactly the same as the LOC mode except that when engaged, the AFDS tracks the localizer backcourse inbound. BCRS is annunciated in white when armed and green when engaged. The localizer front course must be set in the ILS course window (on the pedestal) for the BCRS mode to function properly.

window on the MCP blanks out when VNAV is selected since speed control is transferred to the FMC. To regain speed control from the FMC, a speed intervention mode is available by pressing on the airspeed select knob. This re-opens the speed window for manual adjustment via the MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob a second time transfers speed control back to the FMC. Descents using VNAV are covered in the FMC section. The Vertical Speed mode (V/S) is selected by pressing the V/S button on the MCP. V/S is annunciated in green on the EADI when engaged. The A/T does not automatically engage with the selection of the vertical speed mode. The A/T SPD mode is used if the A/T is already engaged. When V/S is selected, the VERT SPD window opens and displays the current aircraft vertical speed. The AFDS then commands pitch to maintain this vertical speed. The A/T (if engaged) controls power to maintain the speed selected in the IAS/MACH window. To change the vertical speed, press the thumb wheel above the V/S button in the desired direction. Unlike the FL CH mode, the Vertical Speed mode is capable of overriding the altitude selected in the MCP ALT window. The ILS approach mode (APP) is discussed in the AFDS Lateral Modes section. The glideslope mode works as described previously. GS mode engagement automatically replaces any existing vertical modes upon glideslope intercept. Additionally, if the GS mode is armed, pressing the APP button a second time cancels the GS armed mode.
The AFDS is capable of executing a completely automatic landing and rollout. A minimum of two operating autopilots and the autothrottle are required to engage the AFDS for an Autoland. With two operating autopilots, the system engages in the LAND2 mode. With all three autopilots operating, the system engages in the LAND3 mode. The only difference between these two Autoland modes is the level of system redundancy. Both modes result in successful autolands. Setting up the AFDS for an Autoland occurs with the selection of additional autopilots after APP is selected on the MCP. Depending on the options set in the panel menu, an autoland sets up either automatically or manually. If set to occur automatically, the remaining two autopilots are armed automatically with the selection of the APP mode on the MCP. If set to occur manually, the pilot must arm the remaining autopilots for engagement by pressing the CMD buttons for the inactive autopilots after APP has been selected. Regardless of engagement method, the subsequent actions regarding autoland capability remain the same. Autoland capability is indicated on the Autoland Status Annunciator (ASA) located on the main panel. Any degradation of the aircrafts Autoland capability is annunciated on this gauge. With the AFDS set for an autoland, the armed autopilots automatically engage at 1500 feet radio height after a self-test has been performed. If the test is normal, LAND2 or LAND 3 annunciates on the ASA if two or three autopilots are engaged respectively.

Battery Power
The aircraft battery is controlled via a latch switch at the top of the electrical panel and is left in the ON position for all normal operations. The battery provides basic DC power to essential systems when no other power supply is available. When selected ON, battery power is supplied via four buses: Hot Battery Bus, Battery Bus, Standby AC Bus and Standby DC Bus. These buses power essential aircraft components such as emergency equipment, radios, & standby instruments. If no other power source is available, the battery can provide power to these systems for about 30 minutes. The MAIN BAT DISCH annunciation indicates that the battery is being discharged. Power supplied to the Standby Buses is determined by the Standby Power Selector. Control is provided by a three position rotary switch with OFF, AUTO and BAT positions. This additional control over the Standby Buses is important because these buses provide power for the standby ight instruments as well as some basic warning circuits. In the AUTO mode, power is supplied to the standby buses automatically based on priority (battery being last). With the selector in BAT, the battery alone supplies power to the standby buses and the battery will discharge (even if other sources are available). With the selector OFF, the standby buses are not powered. The selector is placed in the AUTO mode for normal operations. The other modes are used for non-normal operation of the electrical system. The following is an abbreviated list of important equipment powered by the Battery and Standby Buses:
Battery Bus APU Fuel Pump Engine & APU re detection Engine fuel valves Bleed valves Engine start controls Fuel crossfeed valves Fuel quantity gauge RAT auto deployment system Standby engine indicating Hot Battery Bus APU fuel valve Fire bottles (engine & APU) IRS backup system RAT manual deployment Standby Buses Bleed isolation valves Manual cabin pressure control Standby Altimeter, attitude & ILS Pressurization indications Left VHF radio Left NAV system (VOR, ADC, RDMI) Standby ignition Center ILS receiver
External Power
External power is available on the ground by accessing the Level-D Ground Requests menu. When external power is selected in the menu, the AVAIL light illuminates in the EXT PWR pushbutton near the top of the electrical panel. Removal of external power from the airplane is also done from the menu. External power is not automatically used by the electrical system. It must be manually selected by pressing the EXT PWR push button. Illumination of the AVAIL light in the push button only indicates that external power is available for use. Pushing the push button applies external power to the electrical system (as indicated by illumination of the ON light). Once selected, external power has priority over all other electrical sources. Pushing the EXT PWR push

button a second time removes external power from the electrical system and the ON light extinguishes. External power is not automatically removed from the electrical system except during engine start. After an engine is started, the respective engine generator automatically powers the respective electrical system. After the second engine is started, the EXT PWR ON light extinguishes since both engine generators are now powering the electrical system. The external power connection must be manually removed from the aircraft using the Level-D Ground Requests menu.
Main AC Buses
The Left and Right Main AC Buses are the main source of electrical power for a majority of aircraft systems. They can only be powered from the APU, Engine Generator or External Power. Normally the Left generator supplies power to the Left AC Bus and the right generator supplies power to the Right AC Bus. A loss of one generator causes the BUS TIE relays to close allowing one generator to power both AC buses. If the APU were selected ON in this case, the Bus Tie system would react to re-isolate the Main Buses. The Left Main AC Bus is the most critical bus on the aircraft. It is the power source for the following instruments:
Engine Generators
Left and right engine driven generators are tied into the Captains basic ight instruments electrical system via generator control breakers. These Captains EADI and EHSI generators operate independently and are capable of Cockpit panel lighting individually supplying electrical power for all aircraft Left and Center autopilots systems. Control for each generator is provided by GEN Upper EICAS screen CONT switches on the electrical panel. These switches FMC are left IN for all normal operations and provide for Center Hydraulic No.1 Primary Pump automatic control of the generators. Right Hydraulic Elec.

Once systems with the exception of those found on the Standby disconnected, the drive can only be reconnected on the and Battery buses. ground via the Level-D Ground Requests menu.
Power Distribution
The Bus Tie System controls the distribution of electrical power to the Left and Right Main AC Buses. In normal operations, with both engine generators operating, the Bus Tie switches isolate the Left and Right electrical systems so that each generator supplies power to its respective Main AC Bus. Control for this system is provided by two Bus Tie switches on the electrical panel. These switches are normally left in the AUTO position and are only switched OFF by procedure. In the AUTO position, the Bus Tie switches automatically open and close so that only one source of power reaches its respective Main AC Bus. The Bus Tie switches control power to their respective Main AC bus based on the following priority:
1. On side engine-driven generator. 2. APU generator. 3. Opposite side engine-driven generator.
Utility Buses
The main electric panel has switches for the Left and Right Utility Buses. These buses control power for galley items and the left and right recirculation fans. These switches are left ON for all normal operations. During engine starts these buses automatically load shed to conserve electric power for the start. The Utility Bus OFF lights illuminate during the start sequence when load shedding occurs.
The selection of External Power overrides all of these power sources. In this case, both Bus Tie switches close to allow external power to reach each Main AC bus and any generator (engine or APU) supplying power would be removed from the system. When external power is ON, it must be manually de-selected by pressing the EXT PWR pushbutton a second time. External power is automatically removed from the system after both engines are started.

Engine Controls
Primary control of engine power is by the throttles located on the center pedestal (called up by pressing PDST on the main panel). The throttles can be controlled manually by the pilot or automatically through the use of the autothrottles. When the autothrottle is in use, the pilot can still override them by moving the throttles manually. However, the power setting previously commanded by the autothrottle is always restored when released. One exception to this is the throttle hold mode. Annunciation of THR HLD on the EADI indicates that the autothrottle is temporarily disconnected from the power levers. This gives the pilot complete control over power settings. The use and operation of the autothrottle is described in more detail in the AFDS section.
Engine indications on the EICAS screen will change color to indicate parameters that are in a caution range or exceeding a limit. Yellow indicates the caution range and red indicates the limit range. This convention applies to engine data on both EICAS screens. Additionally, the N2 gauge on the lower EICAS displays a magenta index line during engine start. This index line represents the minimum N2 for placing the fuel control switch to RUN. Placing the fuel control switch to RUN at an N2 below the index line may cause engine start problems.
The EEC switches on the overhead control the electronic engine control system. The EEC acts to limit power settings to prevent damage to the engines. When the system is ON, pushing the throttles to the limit results in the maximum power setting available without causing Engine Fuel Control damage to the engines. This power setting is indicated Fuel control switches located on the throttle quadrant on the engine display with an amber line. With the EEC turned OFF, the power setting can be set beyond this limit provide control over two fuel valves per engine: the Engine Valve and the Spar Valve.

The igniter switch indicates which of the two igniters in each engine is used for starting and CONT mode operation. When 1 is selected, the number 1 igniter is used. When 2 is selected, the number 2 igniter is used. When BOTH is selected, both igniters are used in each engine.
Engine Starting
Engine starts require the use of bleed air, electric power and fuel. Bleed air can be supplied by the APU, the other engine, or an external air source. The aircraft battery is the minimum electric requirement for engine start. The fuel to each engine is supplied under pressure via electric fuel pumps. In order to supply sufcient air pressure for the engine start, the air conditioning packs must be off & the isolation valves must be open. A minimum of 25psi duct pressure is required. Placing the engine start switch to GND initiates the engine start. This action opens the start valve which permits bleed air to rotate the engine. The momentary illumination of the VALVE light indicates that the start valve has opened. A magenta index line on the N2 gauge indicates the minimum N2 for adding fuel. When N2 is above the index line, the fuel control switch can be moved to RUN to introduce fuel into the engine. Light-off occurs soon after as indicated by an increase in EGT. At approximately 50% N2 the start switch moves back to AUTO & the VALVE light ashes momentarily as the start valve closes. The engine then stabilizes at idle thrust.

Pressing TO on the TRP cancels the D-TO mode. Climb power modes are as follows: Full climb power (CLB), de-rated climb power one (CLB1), & de-rated climb power two (CLB2). CLB1 & CLB2 offer reduced climb power settings when full climb power is not required. CLB2 offers the lowest climb power setting available that allows the plane to climb safely after takeoff & meet all obstacle clearance requirements. Pre-selection of a reduced climb power mode can be done on the ground using the TRP buttons. Pressing the 1 or 2 button on the TRP results in a white 1 or 2 displayed next to the green TO display on the EICAS. This indicates that the selected de-rated CLB mode will engage after takeoff. This occurs automatically with the selection of an AFDS vertical mode (FL CH, VNAV, or V/S). CLB1 or CLB2 is then displayed in green on the EICAS. If no climb mode is pre-selected, the TRP commands full climb power (CLB). Switching between engaged climb modes is accomplished via the TRP buttons. If climbing in the full climb mode (CLB), pressing 1 or 2 engages the CLB1 or CLB2 mode respectively. Subsequent switching between de-rated climb modes is accomplished by selecting the other mode button on the TRP. However, canceling a de-rated climb mode is accomplished by selecting the button corresponding to the presently engaged de-rate mode. Pressing CLB in this case will have no effect on the engaged mode. For example, if CLB1 is the currently engaged mode, pressing the 1 button on the TRP switches to the CLB mode. If CLB2 is the currently engaged mode, pressing the 2 button on the TRP switches to the CLB mode. In the cruise (CRZ) mode, the TRP displays the maximum cruise power setting available based on altitude & temperature. The CRZ mode is automatically engaged when leveling off at the pre-programmed FMC cruise altitude. Otherwise, this mode can be engaged manually by pressing CRZ on the TRP panel. When the autothrottle is in use, the CRZ thrust index represents the maximum power available for use by the autothrottle in cruise, even though less power is generally required to maintain airspeed. Continuous (CON) & Go-around (GA) power are the remaining TRP modes. Pressing the CON key displays the maximum continuous power setting available for the current altitude & temperature. This mode is generally used during single engine operations or while in icing conditions. The GA mode is automatically engaged when aps are selected to 1 while on approach for landing. Pressing the TO/GA button in ight manually selects the GA mode. The GA mode displays the maximum go-around power setting to be used in the event of a go-around.

Flight Controls
Flight controls on the 767 are broken down into two groups. Primary ight controls are the elevators, ailerons and the rudder. Secondary ight controls are the leading edge slats, trailing edge aps, stabilizer trim, aileron trim, rudder trim, and the spoilers. Some of these controls have an absolute requirement for hydraulic power to function. Others have electrically powered alternate systems to serve as a backup.
positions: Up, 1, 5, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Selecting aps to 1 moves only the leading edge slats into position. The trailing edge aps begin to move with the selection of aps 5. The normal takeoff ap setting is 5 and 15. The normal landing ap setting is 30. Flaps 25 may be used when conditions require the use of a reduced ap setting (i.e. high winds). Flaps 20 is used only for a single engine emergency landing. A ap warning system monitors movement of both leading & trailing edge aps when selected. If the leading edge slats fail, a LEADING EDGE caution is activated. If the trailing edge aps fail, a TRAILING EDGE caution is activated. If either of these cautions is received, the alternate ap system may be used to correct the ap malfunction. Alternate ap controls are available to move the aps electrically. The alternate ap controls are located below the ap indicator on the main panel. Pressing the LE (leading edge) or TE (trailing edge) buttons arms the respective ap system for electric operation. The aps are then moved into position using the selector switch. Flap load relief is provided when aps 30 or 25 are selected. If the airspeed exceeds the ap airspeed placard limit, the aps automatically retract to 20 until the airspeed is reduced. When airspeed is reduced, the aps automatically re-extend to the next allowable position. Flap load relief is not provided when using the alternate ap controls.
Stabilizer Trim
The stabilizer trim system is used by both the pilot and the autopilot to trim control forces on the elevators during ight. This system uses hydraulic power from the left and Left outboard aileron - Left and Right center hydraulic systems. The pilot moves the trim using Left inboard aileron - Left and Center the yoke or keyboard controls. The autopilot moves the Right inboard aileron - Center and Right trim automatically when engaged in the CMD mode. Trim Right outboard aileron - Left and Right position indicators are located on the pedestal next to the throttle quadrant. Secondary Flight Controls Before takeoff, the stabilizer trim must be placed in The secondary ight controls are the leading and trailing edge aps, stabilizer trim, aileron trim, rudder trim and the a position dictated by the Conguration Manager. An improperly set stabilizer trim may have such a powerful spoilers. The spoilers have an absolute requirement for hydraulic power for normal operation. There is no backup effect that it cannot be overcome by elevator control. During takeoff, it may be difcult to raise the nose (rotate system for the spoilers. The aps and stabilizer trim are at Vr); or on the other hand, the nose may pitch up hydraulically powered and have electrically powered uncontrollably depending on which direction the stabilizer backup modes of operation. is out of trim. Once the aircraft is airborne, the trim is Flaps adjusted by the pilot to a setting which will enable him to The leading edge slats and trailing edge aps use hydraulic y with minimum control pressure.

Flap position procedure for takeoff is to set the trim according to the is selected by the ap handle on the pedestal or by the Conguration Manager before the takeoff roll is started. keyboard. Flap positions are indicated on the ap indicator on the main panel and may be selected into the following
Flight Controls & Indicators 57
A stabilizer trim warning system monitors the stabilizer trim for uncommanded movement. An UNSCHEDULED STAB TRIM caution is generated if movement of the stabilizer trim is detected without an appropriate command from the pilot or autopilot. This is a so called runaway trim condition. To correct this condition, two STAB TRIM CUT OUT switches located on the pedestal are used to cut off hydraulic power to the stabilizer trim system. Alternate stabilizer trim controls are available on the pedestal. Moving the levers labeled STAB & TRIM mechanically signals trim movement. Hydraulic power is required for the stab trim to operate the alternate trim controls.
The spoilers are controlled by a spoiler handle on the pedestal or by using the keyboard. The ARMED position provides for automatic spoiler deployment upon landing to facilitate the transfer of aircraft weight from the wings to the landing gear (i.e. Prevent a bounce). System logic re-stows the spoilers if the aircraft becomes airborne again during a goaround. The spoilers are automatically deployed regardless of position anytime the thrust reversers are activated.
Spoilers
The spoilers are a group of at panels on the top of the main wing that reduce the lift on the wing when raised. They are primarily used when a steeper than normal descent is required and upon touchdown during landing. Each spoiler panel is powered from one of the three hydraulic systems such that partial spoiler deployment is possible on both wings with multiple hydraulic failures.
Yaw Dampers
Yaw control is provided by a single rudder. Two yaw dampers work through the rudder control system to improve directional stability. The yaw damper systems improve turn coordination and dutchroll damping. The yaw damper INOP light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message L or R YAW DAMPER displays when a yaw damper is inoperative.

Flight Instruments
A combination of standard ight instruments and electronic ight instruments are used in the 767. The electronic instruments are part of the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS). This system uses symbol generators (SG) to display information on two CRT screens called the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI) and the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI). The EHSI and EADI are surrounded by standard ight instruments that are also electrically powered. All of the ight instruments display information received from a combination of sources that include the Air Data Computers (ADC), the IRUs, the FMC and the AFDS.
Normally, each EHSI receives data from the on-side IRU and FMC. In case of on-side IRU or FMC failure, the center IRU and the opposite side FMC may be selected to provide data to the EHSI by pressing the IRS or the FMC button on the ISS of the affected side. Of all the EHSI modes available, the FMC MAP mode (shown above) is most commonly used for all operations. Information in this mode is oriented in a track up fashion so that the FMC route displayed on the map is aligned vertically with the aircraft track display. The heading at the top of the EHSI displays the aircrafts track heading rather than the aircrafts magnetic heading. The magnetic heading is displayed as a white triangle below the heading arc. The magnetic heading offsets from the track heading if a crosswind exists. When using the HDG SEL mode, the AFDS heading bug on the EHSI aligns with the magnetic heading marker. This concept is shown in the diagram above.

Position Determination
The FMC accepts lat/long coordinates in the following format: N.W. N.E. S.W. S.E. For example, pressing the 1R LSK on the depicted POS INIT page transfers N4221.1W07100.7 to the scratchpad. There are four methods available to determine the aircrafts position for coordinate entry during IRS alignment: 1. LAST POS Use the last position coordinates by pressing the 1R LSK to transfer the data into the scratchpad. 2. REF AIRPORT Use the airport coordinates by pressing the 2R LSK (when data is shown) to transfer the data into the scratchpad. 3. Charted Coordinates Third party simulator charts often list coordinates for airport gates. If parked at a gate with known coordinates, these can be manually entered into the scratchpad and used for IRS alignment. The coordinates entered must be in the format shown above. 4. <SHIFT><Z> Pressing this key combination displays the aircrafts exact position across the top of the simulator window. The coordinates displayed by FS need to be formatted for the FMC. Therefore, the W coordinate of 71 is entered as 071. This is important since entering W7100.7 generates an error message. Adding a leading 0 is not required when the longitude is 100 or above. For example, W101*46.61 would be formatted as W10146.6 in the FMC.

1. Gross Weight (GRWT) The gross weight (in thousands) of the airplane can be entered here manually or automatically. This data eld updates automatically when the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) eld is manually entered. Making a manual entry causes data on the Takeoff page to be deleted. 2. Fuel The fuel weight (in thousands) on board the aircraft can be set manually or automatically. CALC indicates that the fuel load has been automatically calculated by the FMC. 3. Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) The zero fuel weight (in thousands) of the aircraft can be entered here manually or automatically. This data eld updates automatically when the Gross Weight (GR WT) eld is manually entered. Making a manual entry causes data on the Takeoff page to be deleted. 4. Reserves The amount of reserve fuel (in thousands) is entered manually in this eld. This value is the minimum fuel required before a warning is generated by the FMC. When the FMC predicts that arrival fuel will be less than reserves, an INSUFFICIENT FUEL warning is generated in the scratchpad. Fuel calculations on the HOLD page are also dependant on this value. 5. Cruise Altitude The cruise altitude for the planned route is entered here. This eld can be updated manually or automatically by loading a ight plan. The value in this eld is linked to the CRZ ALT elds on the VNAV Climb and Cruise pages. The following are examples of valid entries for this eld: 10000 feet = 10000, 100, FL100 29000 feet = 29000, 290, FL290 6. Cost Index The FMC Economy (ECON) calculations are based on the value entered in this eld. The standard value entered is 80. Values can range from 0 to 9999. Entering 0 gives maximum range airspeed and minimum fuel consumption. Higher values increase the cruise speed and fuel consumption for the calculated ECON speed. 7. Step Size Displays the step climb value used for VNAV STEP TO performance calculations. ICAO is the standard value and indicates a step climb size of 2000 feet below FL290 and 4000 feet above FL290. Valid entries range from 0 to 9000 in 1000 foot increments. When 0 is entered, all VNAV predictions are based on a constant cruise altitude. 8.

1 Takeoff Flaps (FLAPS) Takeoff ap setting is entered here. Valid entries are 5, 15, and 20. Flaps 5 or aps 15 are standard. Takeoff speeds are recalculated and a TAKEOFF SPEEDS DELETED message is generated any time the FLAPS eld is updated. This eld is the only TAKEOFF REF eld required to be lled in for proper FMC operation. 2. Takeoff Thrust (THRUST) Optional entry to de-rate calculated takeoff thrust. The value entered here is called the assumed temperature. Valid entries are from 0 to 99 C. No temperature entry results in maximum takeoff power. The entered temperature and commanded thrust settings are displayed on the EICAS N1 data display. Takeoff speeds and thrust settings are automatically recalculated anytime the THRUST eld is updated. To delete a temperature entry, press DEL on the data entry keyboard followed by the 2L LSK.
Note The calculation of the reduced thrust temperature involves variables such as runway length, slope, altitude, and departure path obstacles. The LDS Beta Team has released two Performance Manuals (in pdf format) (LBS & KGS) to calculate temperature derates and V-speeds. They are available at the Level-D website. A tutorial on how to use this data is included. The use of reduced thrust settings is the pilots discretion. As a guide, for long runways (>10,000 feet) use a value of 54C. For shorter runways, use a value between current airport temperature and 54 C. The lower the temperature, the lower the de-rated thrust.
3. Center of Gravity / Trim (CG TRIM) Enter the CG value/number generated by the Conguration Manager. After the CG is entered, the FMC calculates and displays the stabilizer trim setting for takeoff. 4.

7. WIND Entry of data into these lines causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. A separate wind entry may be made for each of the four alternates. Displays the estimated average wind for the divert route. Valid entry is a direction in degrees/speed in knots from 1 to 999. (Not simulated) 8. Altitude/Outside Air Temperature (ALT/OAT) Entry of data into these lines causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. A separate ALT/OAT entry may be made for each of the four alternates. Displays the OAT for a specic altitude. Valid entry is an altitude/temperature in degrees C. (Not simulated) 9. Alternate Airport ETA/Fuel (XXXX ETA/FUEL) Displays the calculated airport ETA and arrival fuel based on the selected route, altitude, and speed shown on this page. 10. DIVERT ICAO SELECTED This prompt performs the same function as the DIVERT NOW function described on the ALTN page. Note: After a divert is executed, the ICAO ALTN page data is not updated until all CDUs change to a page other than the ICAO ALTN page.
Route Offset
Route offsets are selected on the RTE page. The OFFSET route prompt is displayed on the RTE page at 6R LSK when the airplane is airborne and not on a SID, STAR, or transition. Entering a distance value into the OFFSET column creates the selected offset. An offset appears as a dashed line on a parallel track to the active route from the active waypoint until:
discontinuity approach approach transition holding pattern course change of greater than 135 end of route. deleting the offset proceeding direct entering an offset value of zero.
After execution, the offset route is shown as a dashed magenta line on the EHSI map display. The route remains a solid magenta line. If LNAV is engaged when the offset is executed, the aircraft will turn to an intercept heading and capture a parallel offset course to the original route. 1. OFFSET Route Prompt Valid entries are L (left) or R (right) followed by a distance from 0 to 99 in nautical miles.
To y to the LEFT of the active route by 2nm, enter L02 To y to the RIGHT of the active route by 2nm, enter R02.
Why use the route offset? The route offset may be utilized by the crew on North Atlantic routings to avoid wake turbulence from other airborne trafc: An aircraft that encounters wake vortex turbulence from another aircraft and needs to deviate, shall notify ATC and request a revised clearance. However, in situations where a revised clearance is not possible or practicable, the pilot may initiate the following temporary lateral offset procedure with the intention of returning to the centre line as soon as practicable.

Selection of a runway without an approach procedure is done by pressing the LSK abeam the runway name. When a runway selection is made, a RWY EXT prompt displays at the 3R LSK. When a value is placed in the displayed data box, a waypoint is automatically created on the runway inbound course at the distance specied. Valid distance entries are from 1.0 to 25.0. The FMC adds a waypoint called RXxxx, where xxx is the runway name.

LEGS Page
The LEGS page lists all waypoints for a route programmed into either RTE 1 or RTE 2. The waypoints are arranged in the ight planned sequence. Waypoints that are part of a procedure or an airway entry on the RTE page are listed individually on the LEGS page. Pressing the LEGS function key displays page 1 of the active LEGS page. From this page, waypoints in the route can be managed when navigating via LNAV. Also, waypoint speed and altitude constraints for VNAV operation are entered from the LEGS page. The waypoint entry concepts explained for the RTE pages are the same for the LEGS page except that the presentation and handling of waypoints is different. The entry of airways (jet routes) is not possible on the LEGS page.

2. Leg Heading Displays the direction to the waypoint as a magnetic course (xxx), heading (xxx HDG), or track (xxx TRK). All headings between waypoints are calculated great circle leg headings. Special procedures are displayed here as well (i.e. HOLD AT). 3. Waypoint Name The waypoint name is displayed abeam each LSK starting at the 1L position. The waypoint information displayed at the 1L LSK on the rst page represents the active leg. Waypoints can be added, deleted, and resequenced using the LSKs abeam each waypoint. Route discontinuities are displayed as boxes in the waypoint name space. Waypoints with brackets are conditional waypoints. The condition is contained in the bracket and the lateral command contained in the Leg Heading display. The above example shows a conditional waypoint that results in an LNAV heading of 315 until reaching 500 feet before proceeding direct to PELUE waypoint. 4. Route X Legs Prompt (X=1 or 2) Press the 6L LSK to switch between the display of RTE 1 LEGS and RTE 2 LEGS. Switching between legs pages has no effect on the active route. Modications made on the inactive LEGS page have no effect on the active route. To activate the inactive route from the LEGS page, press the ACTIVATE> prompt at the 6R LSK followed by the EXEC key. The previously active route remains in memory as the inactive route. 5. Waypoint Distance The distance between each waypoint is displayed here. For the active waypoint, the distance displayed is from the aircrafts current position to the active waypoint. 6. Waypoint Speed/Altitude Format is speed/altitude. Speed is displayed as airspeed or mach (xxx or .xxx). Altitude is displayed in thousands or as ight levels (xxxxx or FLxxx). Small type data represents FMC waypoint crossing predictions based on performance data. Large type data are speed and/or altitude VNAV crossing constraints for the waypoint. The FMC uses these constraints to calculated the VNAV climb and descent proles. The constraints entered are handled as climb or descent constraints depending on phase of ight. All constraints entered for waypoints that occur prior to the aircraft reaching the programmed CRZ ALT (on the PERF INIT page) are treated as climb constraints. Any constraints entered after the CRZ ALT has been reached are considered descent constraints. Waypoint crossing constraints may be entered manually or automatically (by procedure). Constraints are entered manually by typing the airspeed/altitude constriction into the scratchpad followed by the right side LSK abeam the desired waypoint. Constraints are lled in automatically when they are part of a selected SID, STAR or approach procedure. To delete a constraint, press the DEL data entry key followed by the right side LSK abeam the constriction to be deleted.
Flight Management System 90
A waypoint altitude constraint may be entered with or without an airspeed constraint. To enter an altitude constraint without an airspeed constraint, type the altitude into the scratchpad (format XXX, XXXX, XXXXX or FLXXX) and press the right side LSK abeam the desired waypoint. A sufx may be added to the altitude constraint as follows:
(None) A B A&B Cross at the exact altitude. (i.e. 7000 = cross at 7000) Cross at or above... (i.e. 7000A = cross at or above 7000) Cross at or below... (i.e. 7000B = cross at or below 7000) Cross in between... (i.e. 11000B10000A = cross between 11 & 10,000)
Individual data entries into the right side LSKs that are not separated by a / are assumed to be altitude constraints. Data entries separated by a / are assumed to be a combination airspeed/altitude entry. The format is xxx/XXXXX, where xxx is airspeed and XXXXX is altitude. The format to enter an airspeed constraint only is xxx/. Cruise speed and altitude predictions are shown for all waypoints after the cruise altitude set in the PERF INIT page has been reached. Cruise altitude predictions are based on performance calculations resulting from the STEP SIZE entered on the PERF INIT page. When the step size is set to 0, the altitude prediction will match the programmed CRZ ALT. When a step size is specied, the altitude prediction displays the recommended cruise altitude based on performance data and step size. The altitude prediction displayed will not match the CRZ ALT when a step climb is recommended. Cruise speed and altitude changes are not made through LEGS page entries. This is discussed in the VNAV section of this manual.

7. 6R LSK Prompt There are three possible prompts displayed at LSK 6R:
RTE DATA ACTIVATE STEP
Press to display the route data page. Press to activate the displayed route. Displayed when the EHSI selector is set to MAP. Press to cycle through each waypoint displayed on the EHSI. The text <CTR> is displayed on the FMC next to the waypoint that the EHSI map is centered on.
Direct to Waypoint
The easiest way for LNAV to join a route is to y directly to a waypoint in the LEGS page. This is done by line selecting a waypoint into the active waypoint position (1L LSK of LEGS page 1). The FMC calculates a direct course to the waypoint and displays the modication on the EHSI with blue dashes. Pressing the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP causes the AFDS to y directly to the waypoint. If the active waypoint is the desired Direct To Waypoint, press the 1L LSK one time to place the waypoint name in the scratchpad. Then press the 1L LSK a second time to have the FMC draw the new course line direct to the waypoint. Consider this example. RBV is the active waypoint and has been line selected twice to redraw a direct course line. Notice that the RBV waypoint is both the active waypoint Direct To... RBV and the modied waypoint with a new course line drawn direct to RBV. To complete the change and navigate direct to RBV, press the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP. If the Direct To waypoint is further down in the LEGS listing, press the LSK next to the desired waypoint to transfer it to the scratchpad. Then press the 1L LSK of page 1 to make the modication. It is important to use page 1 of the LEGS page because the active waypoint position is the 1L LSK on that page. All waypoints between the currently active waypoint and the newly selected down track waypoint are removed upon execution.
Consider the following example. The LEGS page from the previous example is still in use and our clearance is now to y direct to RAV. Press the 3L LSK to place RAV in the scratchpad followed by pressing the 1L LSK. Notice that both SUZIE & RBV waypoints have been Direct To... RAV removed and a new course line has been drawn direct to RAV. To complete the change and navigate direct to RAV, press the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP. A new waypoint can be designated as the Direct To waypoint. Type the name of the waypoint into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK on LEGS page 1. The FMC draws a course line direct to the newly entered waypoint. A route discontinuity is placed between the previously active waypoint and the new waypoint since the FMC makes no assumptions on where to go after reaching a waypoint that was not on the original route.
Consider the following example. The LEGS page from the previous example is still in use and our clearance is now to y direct to ETX... RAV.
Type ETX into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK on LEGS page 1. Notice that a route discontinuity is placed between the new waypoint and the existing route. Closing the resultant discontinuity is discussed below. Also, a course line direct to ETX has been drawn. To complete this part of the clearance and navigate direct to ETX, press the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
Consider this example. The LEGS page from the above example is still in use. The previous clearance example is to y to ETX (shown above) and then to RAV. Press the 5L LSK to put RAV in the scratchpad followed by pressing the 2L LSK. Notice that ETX is now connected to RAV on the EHSI. Also, the RBV and SUZIE waypoints have been removed. To complete the change and remove the discontinuity, press the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
Intercept Course To
This feature is used to create a specic inbound course to a waypoint for LNAV to follow. The steps for waypoint selection are the same as those for creating a Direct To waypoint. The specic intercept course is entered at the 6R LSK INTC CRS prompt. Pressing the EXEC key creates the specic inbound radial on the EHSI and HDG SEL is used to y toward the inbound course. When the LNAV button is pressed, LNAV is armed for course interception upon reaching the specied inbound course line. Intercept 290 course to RAV waypoint Consider the following example. Using the LEGS page from a previous example, the clearance is to y a 270 heading to intercept the RAV 110 radial (290 inbound course) and track it inbound. The rst step is to put the AFDS in HDG SEL mode on a 270 heading. Then line select RAV to the 1L position to make it the active waypoint. Then, type 290 into the scratchpad and press the 6R LSK to specify the INTC CRS. Press EXEC to make the modication active and PRESS LNAV on the MCP to arm it for course capture. Notice that when the RAV waypoint is line selected to the 1L LSK that the INTC CRS prompt displays 282 in small type. This is the FMC calculated direct course to RAV. When 290 is entered, it appears in large type since it is a manually entered intercept course. When the modications are executed, the course listed for RAV shows as 290 and the course line is drawn on the EHSI.
Flight Management System 94
An intercept course may also be specied for a waypoint that is not on the active route. When the new waypoint is line selected to 1L, the INTC CRS prompt displays with boxes for the entry of a specic inbound course. If no course entry is made, the FMC assumes a direct course to the specic waypoint as was demonstrated in a previous example using the ETX waypoint.
Waypoint Deletion
There are two methods to delete waypoints from the route. The rst involves the use of the DEL key to delete individual waypoints from the route. When this method is used, a route discontinuity is presented in place of the deleted waypoint. The second involves changing the waypoint sequence within the LEGS pages. All bypassed waypoints from the re-sequencing are deleted upon execution without causing a route discontinuity. The only waypoint on the LEGS page that cannot be deleted is the active waypoint. Consider the example using the DEL key. Delete the SUZIE waypoint. Start by pressing the DEL data entry key. This places the word DELETE in the scratchpad. Now press the 2L LSK abeam the SUZIE waypoint to delete it. Notice that a route discontinuity has taken the place of the SUZIE waypoint. The discontinuity can be closed by line selecting a waypoint from below the discontinuity line into the discontinuity boxes. You can also delete multiple waypoints. Using the example above, lets delete the 2 waypoints (RAV, VALLO) between BURNI and SUZIE with the Line Select Keys. The easiest way to accomplish this is to line select BURNI and place it below SUZIE. To do this, press the 5L LSK to place BURNI in the scratchpad. Press the 3L LSK to place BURNI below SUZIE in the route. Now press EXEC to make the modication active. Notice that two waypoints were deleted with one action. Also, the modications executed had no effect on the active waypoint. This example could have been done using the DEL key method, but that would require two separate deletions and a closing of the resulting discontinuity. Moving waypoints within a route is not limited to only those found on LEGS page 1. A Waypoint may be line selected from any LEGS page and then line selected onto a different LEGS page. Use the NEXT and PREV PAGE keys to move between LEGS pages. All bypassed waypoints, including those on any skipped pages, are automatically deleted upon execution.
Waypoint Addition
Adding waypoints is accomplished by typing the name of the waypoint into the scratchpad and then line selecting it into the desired position on the LEGS page. A route discontinuity is placed after the added waypoint since the FMC does not make course assumptions after the addition of a new waypoint. You must close the resulting route discontinuity and press EXEC to make all waypoint additions/modications active.
Along track waypoints can be added for any waypoint in your route, not just the active waypoint, by using the same procedure outlined above for any waypoint that exists in your routing.
DME Waypoints
The FMC allows for the creation of a waypoint that is dened by an exact distance along a VOR radial. Suppose we are ying the 090 heading from the ctitious LDS VOR and are cleared to y direct to the 25 DME point along the LDS 210 radial. Enter this special waypoint using the following format: (place)(bearing)/(distance) Type LDS210/25 into the scratchpad using the FMC keyboard. This entry breaks down as follows: LDS is the VOR starting point of the radial (place), 210 is the LDS radial (radial), and /25 is the DME point along the radial to draw the waypoint (distance). Press the 1L LSK to request that the FMC create this custom waypoint and draw a course line direct to this waypoint. The FMC creates the waypoint and names it LDS01. Anytime a custom waypoint is created in the FMC, it assigns a sequentially numbered name for the waypoint based on its anchor point (in this case, LDS). If more waypoints were created using the LDS VOR, they would be sequentially numbered 02, 03, and so on. The place/bearing/distance type waypoint can be created and placed anywhere in your route on the LEGS page. This type of custom waypoint can also be created on the ground during route programming on the ROUTE page.
Intersection Waypoints
Another custom waypoint that can be entered into the FMC is created using two crossing radials from different xes. For example, we are navigating toward the ctitious (but fabulous) VOR known as LDS. We now want to alter our route and navigate towards the intersection of the LDS 150 radial (or bearing) and the WLP 270 radial. After passing this point, we want to rejoin the original route at the BVC waypoint. The format for entering this type of custom waypoint is as follows: (place)(bearing)/(place)(bearing) Type LDS150/WLP270 into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK to go direct to this point. This entry breaks down as follows: LDS (place), 150 (bearing or radial), /, WLP (place), 270 (bearing). This forms an intersection that the FMC draws on the EHSI as a waypoint. The new waypoint is named using the rst anchor point. In this case, the LDS point is used because it is the rst x used to form the new waypoint. Since this is the rst custom waypoint using LDS, the waypoint is called LDS01. The EHSI will display that a new waypoint has been created and named LDS01. This is the exact point where the LDS 150 radial crosses the WLP 270 radial. Since this is a modication to the route, the title of the LEGS page changes to MOD. The aircraft continues to navigate towards LDS until this modication is executed by pressing the EXEC key. A discontinuity is presented because the FMC wants to know where to go after the newly added waypoint. In our example, we want to continue after LDS01 (LDS150/WLP270) to the BVC waypoint. Do this by pressing the adjacent LSK to place BVC into the scratchpad. Then press the 2L LSK to put BVC into the discontinuity boxes. This deletes the original LDS waypoint and connects the newly created LDS01 waypoint to the BVC waypoint. With the AFDS in LNAV, the autopilot navigates toward the newly created place/radial/place/radial waypoint (LDS01) and then continues on to the BVC waypoint.
LAT/LONG Waypoints
The FMC is capable of accepting directly entered latitude/longitude coordinates as a waypoint. The format for this type of point is exactly the same format used for position initialization. To place a lat/long coordinate into the route, type the coordinates into the scratchpad and press the left LSK at the place in the route where the point is required. For example, there is a departure point called AVRON that is used when departing KJFK over the ocean. This point is not part of the FMC database. If you attempt to enter AVRON into the LEGS page, an FMC message NOT IN DATABASE is generated. To overcome this problem, enter the lat/long coordinates for the AVRON waypoint. Type N4110.0W06700.0 into the scratchpad and press the appropriate left LSK on the LEGS page to insert the point into the route. The new waypoint is created at the exact lat/long position entered. This point is the same as the AVRON point listed on the departure chart for KJFK. The FMC names the new waypoint by abbreviating the lat/long coordinates as shown in the picture below. This type of waypoint is used extensively for oceanic routings. Also, if the FMC cannot nd a waypoint in the database, the lat/long coordinates can be used to represent the missing waypoint (as demonstrated in the above example).
The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and estimated fuel for each x is displayed. In the WIND column, a W indicates waypoint wind data has been entered for the respective waypoint. The absence of a W indicates that no wind data has been entered for the respective waypoint. Wind page data helps enhance the performance of VNAV. Pressing the right side LSK of any waypoint calls up the waypoint wind data page. Wind data can be entered for up to three altitudes. To enter wind data on the page, type an altitude into the scratchpad and line select it to the 1L LSK. This drops the altitude into a list on the left side of the page along with a DIR/SPD dashed prompt along the right side. Enter the wind speed and direction for the altitude and line select it into the dashed prompts. Wind page data entry has to be executed with the EXEC key to become active. The dashed prompts at the 5R LSK of the wind page are for altitude/temperature information. The known OAT for any altitude may be entered on this line. The FMC calculates the temperature for the remaining altitudes based on a standard lapse rate.

4. ABEAM Prompt Pressing the 5L LSK displays prediction data (radial/DME, time, distance, altitude) for when the aircraft will pass abeam the entered x while ying on the current route. Pressing the 5L LSK a second time (with prediction data displayed) places the abeam point coordinates into the scratchpad. These coordinates can be added to the route as an abeam point reminder. This example creates an abeam point on the displayed route for the FJC x... The 5L data line displays the abeam point predictions. 206/21 is the radial and DME from the x that intersects with the current route. 1908Z is the predicted abeam point crossing time. 71 is the distance to the abeam point from the aircrafts present position. 10000 is the predicted crossing altitude. Pressing the 5L LSK a second time transfers the coordinates for the abeam point into the scratchpad. The example above shows how these coordinates have been inserted into the route after the RBV waypoint.

Dening the holding pattern. The HOLD page is where the holding pattern is described and modied. The holding pattern is drawn on the EHSI and is followed by LNAV based on entries in this page. The HOLD page is displayed when a holding waypoint is initially dened, or when the HOLD key is pressed with a holding waypoint already dened. Since modications to the HOLD page can effect the aircrafts ight path, all modications made must be executed by pressing the EXEC function key. 1. FIX Displays the name of the holding x. 2. Quadrant/Radial Used as an alternate method to describe the holding radial on which the holding pattern is based. Enter the desired holding radial into the scratchpad and press the 2L LSK to re-dene the holding pattern based on the entered radial. The quadrant, expressed as a reference to a compass point, is automatically lled in with the entry of a radial. For example, entering 160 into the scratchpad and pressing the 2L LSK displays SE/160 in the data line. Note The INBD CRS eld automatically updates when an entry is made on this data line. 3. Inbound Course/Direction This eld automatically lls in with a direct entry holding course and right hand turns when a holding waypoint is dened. If the waypoint is on the current route, the inbound holding course is the inbound course to the waypoint along the route. To change the inbound course, enter the new course into the scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. To change the holding pattern direction, type L or R into the scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. Note Any data in the QUAD/RADIAL data eld automatically updates when changes are made to this data eld. 4. Leg Time Displays the length in minutes of the holding patterns inbound leg. The default value is 1.0 at or below 14,000 and 1.5 above 14,000 when the holding x is initially dened. To redene the leg time, type the desired time into the scratchpad and press the 4L LSK. Note If an entry is made in the LEG DIST eld, this eld is automatically cleared. 5. Leg Distance Used as an alternate method to describe the size of the holding patterns inbound leg. To redene the inbound holding pattern leg using distance, type the desired length in miles of the inbound holding leg and press the 5L LSK. Note The LEG TIME eld is cleared when a LEG DIST is dened. 6. NEXT HOLD Prompt Permits for the denition of a holding pattern at another holding waypoint. The HOLD AT data box is displayed at the 6L LSK when pressed. A new HOLD page is created when additional holding waypoints are dened. 7. Speed/Target Altitude Denes the speed and altitude for the holding pattern. This data is used by the FMC to update performance data and to redraw the holding pattern accurately on the EHSI. When the hold is initially dened, this eld automatically lls with either prediction data (small type) or waypoint speed and altitude constraints from the LEGS page (large type). Manually entered data redenes the holding pattern and is displayed in large type. A valid entry is XXX/yyyyy, where XXX is a speed and yyyyy is an altitude. 8. FIX Estimated Time of Arrival The estimated time of arrival at the holding x is displayed. 9. Expect Further Clearance Time A manually entered time that is used by the FMC for fuel and time predictions. (Not currently modelled) 10. Hold Available Displays the amount of holding time available before the reserve fuel amount is reached. (Not currently modelled) 11. Best Hold Speed Displays the recommended best holding speed based on aircraft weight and altitude.
Flight Management System 100
When the HOLD key is pressed & no hold pattern exists, this is displayed:
1. HOLD AT data box The name of the holding x gets entered into these boxes. A waypoint from the active route or a new waypoint may be entered into the data boxes. Line selecting a waypoint in the active route and pressing the 6L LSK creates a holding pattern at the waypoint and displays the holding page. The holding pattern is placed into the active route in sequence with no route discontinuity. If a new waypoint is entered into the HOLD AT data boxes, a scratchpad message HOLD AT XXXXX is displayed (where XXXXX is waypoint). To place the holding pattern into the route, press an LSK on the LEGS page abeam where the holding pattern should be placed. This action displays the holding page for the waypoint and places the new waypoint into the route along with a route discontinuity. 2. Present Position Prompt Pressing the 6R LSK denes a hold at the aircrafts present position and inserts it into the active route with a route discontinuity. Exiting or deleting a holding pattern To delete a holding pattern before reaching it in the route, simply delete the holding pattern entry from the LEGS page in the same way described for waypoint deletion. If already in the holding pattern, there are two methods available to exit the hold. Pressing the EXIT HOLD Prompt at the 6R LSK arms the FMC to exit the hold. The holding pattern continues normally until the holding waypoint is reached, at which time the hold is deleted and the active waypoint changes to the next route waypoint. A more direct method to exit the hold is to go direct to another waypoint. Line selecting a down track waypoint from the current route into the 1L LSK redirects LNAV to navigate to that waypoint and deletes the holding pattern.

Pressing the NAV RAD function key displays the navigation radio page. This page displays information about each tuned radio and allows for control over frequency tuning. Note VOR L radio receiver is situated on the Main glareshield. VOR R is situated on the F/O glareshield. 1. VOR Tuning The tuned frequency and status of the left and right VOR receivers is shown at the 1L and 1R positions. Displayed for each radio are the frequency, tuning status, and navaid identication. Tuning status indicates:
A R M The radio is set to AUTO. The FMC automatically tunes the VOR The radio has been remotely tuned in the FMC. The radio is set to MAN. Automatic and remote tuning are not available.
To remotely tune the VOR, type the frequency or identier for a navaid into the scratchpad and press the 1L or 1R LSK to tune it. To cancel a remotely tuned selection, press DELETE followed by the respective LSK. Alternatively, type A into the scratchpad and press the respective LSK. In the example above, VOR L is tuned to 108.8, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identier is BDR. VOR R is tuned to 117.7, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identier is DPK. 2. Radial Displays the current radial to the aircraft from the respective VOR station. 3. Preselect Use the 6L & 6R LSK to place identiers for future use along the routing. Press the LSK abeam the identiers to reenter to the scratchpad, then press the 1L or 1R LSK to place the identiers to the desired position.
Flight Management System 101
VNAV Climb
The FMC builds a VNAV climb prole based on data entered into the VNAV CLB page and the LEGS pages. VNAV is engaged after takeoff by depressing the VNAV MCP button. When VNAV is engaged, the FMC commands for an acceleration to the limiting airspeed set in the FMC. The FMC maintains the takeoff speed until reaching the acceleration height programmed in the TAKEOFF REF page (1000 feet default). The FMC then commands for an airspeed acceleration that is initially limited by ap retraction speed limits. When the aps are up, the default target airspeed becomes 250 knots or lower if restricted by a SID waypoint constriction on the LEGS page. Passing 10,000 feet (default value), the target airspeed becomes either the economy climb speed set by the FMC or a manually selected climb speed. The economy climb airspeed is based on the cost index entered on the PERF INIT page. All VNAV climbs are performed in VNAV SPD mode at the FMC commanded airspeed using maximum available power as determined by the TRP. The TRP automatically enters a CLB mode after takeoff when VNAV is engaged. The climb segment lasts until reaching the FMC programmed cruise altitude. Intermediate level offs during climb can occur in two ways: reaching a LEGS page altitude constraint that is part of a SID, or encountering an AFDS MCP ALT set lower than the FMC cruise altitude. When a LEGS page altitude constraint is encountered, the VNAV PTH mode is engaged for the level off. The aircraft remains level until the constraint is cancelled upon passing the constrained waypoint. The climb then continues in the VNAV SPD mode toward the FMC cruise altitude. When encountering an MCP ALT set lower than the FMC cruise altitude, the AFDS ALT HOLD mode is engaged and speed control is transferred back to the MCP. To continue the climb in VNAV, the MCP ALT must be reset to a higher altitude and VNAV must be re-engaged by pressing the VNAV MCP button. Temporary airspeed changes needed during the climb can be handled using the speed intervention mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed window on the MCP. The VNAV climb airspeed is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the airspeed select knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and transfers speed control back to the FMC. The top-of-climb (T/C) occurs when the FMC Cruise altitude is reached. A T/C symbol is shown along the active route to denote the predicted top-of-climb point. When the T/C is reached, the aircraft levels off in VNAV PTH mode and the VNAV Cruise page becomes the active VNAV page.
VNAV Cruise
When the aircraft levels off at the FMC programmed cruise altitude, the VNAV PTH mode is engaged and control over VNAV operation automatically switches to the Cruise page. When the FMC cruise altitude matches the AFDS MCP ALT, VNAV PTH mode takes priority. This is the reason that ALT HOLD mode does not engage in this situation. The default cruise airspeed set by the FMC is the economy airspeed based on the cost index entered on the PERF INIT page. The cruise speed can be changed by manually entering a new airspeed in the cruise page, or by selecting long range cruise via the LRC> prompt on the cruise page. Temporary airspeed changes can be handled using speed intervention mode as described previously Once the VNAV cruise altitude is reached, altitude changes during the cruise segment of the ight are handled in cruise climb or descent mode. This mode is entered when a new cruise altitude is entered in the FMC and the AFDS MCP ALT is set to match. The aircraft climbs or descends to the newly selected altitude using VNAV SPD mode. When the MCP ALT is initially set to a different altitude, the AFDS remains in the VNAV PTH mode until the FMC cruise altitude is set to match. Also, if the FMC cruise altitude is set to a different value and the MCP ALT remains the same, the aircraft remains level in VNAV PTH until the MCP ALT is set to match.

Temporary airspeed changes needed during the cruise can be handled using the speed intervention mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed window on the MCP. The VNAV cruise airspeed is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the airspeed select knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and transfers speed control back to the FMC. The cruise phase continues until reaching the top-ofdescent (T/D) point. This point denotes when a descent for approach and landing begins. The T/D is calculated by the FMC based on arrival waypoint altitude constraints set on the LEGS page. A T/D symbol is shown along the active route to denote the predicted top-of-descent point. When the T/D is reached, the VNAV DES page becomes the active VNAV page.
point the VNAV PTH descent continues to the next altitude constraint. If the MCP ALT is set higher than the altitude constraints in the LEGS page, the AFDS enters ALT HOLD mode when the MCP altitude is reached. To continue a VNAV descent, the MCP ALT must be reset to a lower value and the AFDS VNAV button must be pressed. After the T/D is reached, the EHSI displays a Vertical Track Indicator (VTI) on the right side of the display. The VTI pointer indicates if the aircraft is high or low on the VNAV descent path. The pointers range is +/- 400 feet. Progress page 2 also has a VTK ERROR line that displays the exact vertical track error in feet. Temporary airspeed changes needed during the descent can be handled using the speed intervention mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed window on the MCP. The VNAV descent airspeed VNAV Descent is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the airspeed select The initial VNAV descent path is calculated from the knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and T/D to the rst waypoint altitude constraint on the LEGS transfers speed control back to the FMC. page. The initial path is calculated for IDLE thrust using During the approach phase VNAV will enter an the airspeed set in the VNAV DES page. All subsequent approach sub-mode. This non-annunciated sub-mode is descents are calculated as straight line descents between LEGS page altitude constraints at the selected speed and active when: required thrust. The descent is accomplished in VNAV 25 nautical miles from destination; PTH mode. past the rst waypoint of an approach; if the runway is the active waypoint; In order for the aircraft to begin an automatic descent engages when aps are selected. upon reaching the T/D, the MCP ALT must be set to a In this sub-mode when the MCP speed window is lower altitude.

To restore VNAV control over the descent, a lower maintaining MCP speed. This approach mode allows VNAV to be used with speed intervention on approach. altitude must be selected on the MCP and the AFDS VNAV button must be pressed. The descent phase continues until reaching the end of descent at the destination airport. The end of descent is The default descent airspeed set by the FMC is the economy airspeed based on the cost index entered on the normally the runway selected for approach. If a runway is not selected, the E/D is the last waypoint on the LEGS PERF INIT page. The descent airspeed can be changed page that has an altitude constraint. by manually entering a new airspeed on the descent page. The descent speed is also changed by setting waypoint airspeed constraints on the LEGS page. When a waypoint is encountered that has an airspeed constraint, the DES page airspeed is changed to this new value. Temporary airspeed changes can be handled using speed intervention mode as described previously. A descent in speed intervention mode changes the active VNAV mode from VNAV PTH to VNAV SPD. The descent to the rst altitude restriction is accomplished at idle thrust. When the throttle reaches idle during descent, the A/T enters THR HOLD mode. Descent airspeed is monitored by the FMC to maintain +/- 15 knots of the commanded airspeed while on the descent path. Intermediate level offs during descent can occur in two ways: reaching a LEGS page altitude constraint on a STAR/Approach, or encountering an AFDS MCP ALT set higher than the FMC altitude constraints. When a LEGS page altitude constraint is encountered that requires a level off, the VNAV PTH mode remains engaged for the level off. The aircraft remains level until reaching the last waypoint having the same altitude restriction, at which

After passing the BAKRR waypoint, VNAV will increase speed to 250 knots prior to MINEY waypoint because the airspeed of 250 is displayed in small type. After passing MINEY, the VNAV CLB page changes to AT BOACH and 13000 since the BOACH waypoint has an altitude constraint of 13000 feet or above. The BOACH waypoint is not speed restricted since the speed is displayed in small type. Notice that the speed prediction is now 326 since the FMC airspeed in this example is no longer restricted to 250/10000 (the entry in the SPD TRANS data line on the VNAV CLB page). Keep in mind that for a VNAV climb to continue at each waypoint, the MCP ALT must be set to a higher altitude than that listed for a LEGS page constraint. If the MCP ALT is reached prior to a LEGS page constraint, the AFDS levels off in ALT HOLD mode. In this case, the MCP must be reset to a higher altitude and VNAV reselected on the MCP for a VNAV climb to continue. 6. Transition Altitude Displays the altitude above which the FMC begins to list altitudes as ight levels. This value may be manually changed by typing an altitude into the scratchpad followed by pressing the 3R LSK. 7. Maximum Angle Speed Displays the maximum angle of climb speed based on 6 performance calculations. This speed is for reference only and cannot be changed. 7 8. Engine Out Speed Prompt When pressed, changes the page to display engine out data. (Not currently modelled) 8 9. Climb Direct Prompt When pressed, removes all speed and altitude climb constraints 9 entered into the LEGS page. If VNAV is in use, the FMC continues to climb until reaching the CRZ ALT or the MCP ALT, whichever is lower.

All modications to CRZ page data require execution with the EXEC function key prior to becoming active. When modications are made, an <ERASE prompt appears at the 6L LSK. Pressing the 6L LSK prior to executing the changes erases all changed data and restores the display of active data. 1. Cruise Altitude The cruise altitude entered on the PERF INIT page is displayed here. To change the cruise altitude, enter an altitude into the scratchpad followed by pressing the 1L LSK. Valid entries for altitude are XXX, XXXX, XXXXX, and FLXXX. The altitude is displayed in feet when below the TRANS ALT and as ight levels when above. Changes to the cruise altitude on this page are carried over to all other pages that display CRZ ALT. After reaching the cruise altitude in VNAV, all enroute changes in altitude prior to the T/D are initiated by changing the cruise altitude on the CRZ page. Type the new cruise altitude into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK to change the CRZ ALT. Then, select the new target altitude on the AFDS MCP. This initiates a VNAV cruise climb or descent to the new altitude. If both altitudes (FMC and MCP) are not changed, VNAV continues in cruise at the previously programmed altitude. 2. Speed Display Displays the current target cruise speed. ECON SPD is displayed when economy speed is in use. SEL SPD is displayed when a speed is manually entered. LRC SPD is displayed when long range cruise is selected. E/O SPD is displayed when the engine out speed is selected. To change the current cruise speed, type an IAS or MACH speed into the scratchpad and press the 2L LSK. The format is XXX for IAS and .XXX for MACH. To restore ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the <ECON prompt at the 5L LSK. If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to MCP SPD CRZ. In this mode, airspeed is controlled via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV CRZ page.
3. Step Size Displays the step climb value used for VNAV STEP TO performance calculations. ICAO is the standard value and indicates a step climb size of 2000 feet below FL290 and 4000 6 feet above FL290. Valid entries range from 0 to 9000 in 1000 foot increments. When 0 is entered, all VNAV predictions are based on a constant cruise altitude. 3 5 4. ECON Prompt Press 5L LSK to change speed display to economy speed. 7 4 5. Optimum and Maximum Altitudes Displays the optimum & 8 maximum cruise altitudes for current gross weight based on FMC performance data. 6. Step Data The STEP TO eld displays the recommended step climb altitude based on the step size. The AT eld displays the point at which a step climb is recommended. In this example, a step climb is not recommended until 1397 miles which is predicted to occur at 2154Z time. 7. Engine Out Prompt Engine out speed. (Currently not modelled) 8. Long Range Cruise Prompt (LRC>) Press the 6R LSK to select the long range cruise speed.
6. Descend Direct Prompt This prompt displays after the T/D is reached. When pressed, deletes all waypoint altitude constraints on the LEGS page between the current aircraft altitude and the MCP altitude. 7. Descend Now Prompt This prompt displays (replaces DES DIR > at the 6R LSK position) before the T/D is reached. When pressed, begins a descent of 1250 fpm until reaching the calculated VNAV path. For the descent to commence, the AFDS MCP altitude must be set to a lower value. The AFDS levels off at the higher of the MCP altitude or the next FMC waypoint constraint. In the following example consider the how a VNAV descent path is calculated with waypoint constraints. Airspeed and altitude descent constraints are entered onto the LEGS page in the right column of the waypoint data line. Data displayed in small type are speed and altitude predictions based on performance. Data displayed in large type are speed and altitude constraints. The constraints are entered manually or by procedure. The example LEGS page shows an altitude constraint of 17000 feet at CIVET. The T/D point and VNAV idle descent path are calculated based on this rst waypoint constraint. Since a speed has not been specied at CIVET, the FMC target airspeed from the VNAV DES page is shown as 300 in small type. After passing CIVET, the VNAV DES page changes to AT ARNES and 12000 since ARNES contains the next descent constraint of 280/12000. A VNAV path is calculated for a straight descent between CIVET (at 17000 feet) and ARNES (at 12000 feet), such that ARNES is crossed at 280 knots. Since no constraint has been entered for BREMR, the data displayed is prediction data based on the calculated VNAV path between CIVET and ARNES. After passing ARNES, the VNAV DES page changes to AT SUZZI and 9000. A VNAV path is calculated for a straight descent between ARNES (at 12000) and SUZZI (at 9000). The SPEED TRANS of 240/10000 comes into play between these two waypoints since the FMC is predicting an airspeed of 240 at SUZZI. Keep in mind that for a VNAV DES to continue at each waypoint, the MCP ALT must be set to a lower altitude than that listed for a LEGS page constraint. If the MCP ALT is reached prior to a LEGS page constraint, the AFDS levels off in ALT HOLD mode. In this case, the MCP must be reset to a lower altitude and VNAV reselected on the MCP for a VNAV descent to continue. NEW to FSX The descent logic in the FSX version of the 767 has modied from the FS9 version. Below is a quick point description of the Pegasus FMC logic and the associated VNAV descent characteristics.
ON Path (within speed limits and altitude limits) Pitch mode = VNAV PTH A/T mode = throttle decreases to IDLE, then sets HOLD Idle descent phase: Speed limits +/- 15 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo11 knots or down to speed protection; Past idle phase: Speed limits +/- 10 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo-11 knots or down to speed protection. Overspeed reverts to: Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = IDLE to HOLD Aircraft pitches to VNAV speed and DRAG REQUIRED message displays. Underspeed reverts to: Pitch mode = VNAV PATH A/T mode = SPD Aircraft throttles increase to maintain min speed and THRUST REQUIRED message displays if A/T is disengaged.
Above path (speed window closed): Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = IDLE to Hold Aircraft pitches to VNAV speed + 15 (limited by Mmo/Vmo-11 knots) and DRAG REQUIRED message displays. Below path (speed window closed): Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = SPD Aircraft pitches to -1250fpm and thrust increases to maintain VNAV speed. NOTE Above path / below path = more than +/- 500 ft Opening the MCP speed window during the VNAV PATH descent results in the pitch mode changing to VNAV SPD. The aircraft leaves the VNAV PATH and pitches to MCP SPD. Programmed not below altitudes will be kept if encountered, however speed constraints will not.

The name can be a combination of up to 10 letters and numbers. Press the 6R LSK SAVE TO DISK> prompt to save the approach transition for the selected approach.
An approach must exist for the arrival airport in order to save a STAR transition. Save the main approach waypoints using the procedure in #4 before programming the transition. Only the active route waypoints are saved using this procedure. When saving an approach transition, only those waypoints that are part of the approach transition should appear in the LEGS page prior to saving. Do not include any main approach waypoints since they are already saved as part of the selected approach to which the transition applies. Saved approach transitions are displayed in the APPCH TRANS column of the ARR page when the approach is selected.
8. Save Runway Specic SID Legs Some SIDs have runway specic transition waypoints that occur prior to the main SID waypoints. This prompt is used to save runway specic waypoints for a SID with multiple runway transitions to common waypoints. The name of the runway to which the runway specic waypoints apply must be entered into the RTE page. Once the runway specic transition waypoints are entered on the active LEGS page, press the 4L LSK to display the SID name selection submenu (shown previously in #5). Press the LSK abeam the SID to which the transition applies to select it. Then press the SAVE TO DISK> prompt at the 6R LSK to save the runway transition for the selected SID.
A SID must exist for the departure airport in order to save a runway transition. Save the main SID waypoints using the procedure in #3 before programming the runway transition. Only the active route waypoints are saved using this procedure. When saving a runway transition, only those waypoints that are part of the runway transition should appear in the LEGS page prior to saving. Do not include any main SID waypoints since they are already saved as part of the selected SID to which the runway transition applies. Also, double check that the correct runway is entered on the RTE page prior to saving the runway transition. A SID selected from the DEP page, the runway transition waypoints are automatically added to the SID based on the departure runway selected on the RTE page.
All SIDs consist of one or more main procedure waypoints. In this example, the JEBBB and ROPPR waypoints are the main procedure since they are common to all transitions. Program the main part of the SID as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport. Enter KLAS since this procedure is made up using waypoints in and around that airport. The entry of an arrival airport is optional. 2. On the LEGS page, enter ROPPR and JEBBB in their proper sequence and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 5. Press the 3L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID. 6. This procedure is used by more than one runway, so <ALL> runway is used. No action is required since this is the default selection. 7. Type JEBBB1 into the scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to name the SID. 8. Press the 6R LSK to save the SID.
The JEBBB1 SID is now part of the KLAS departure database. If these were the only two waypoints for the SID, the programming would be complete. This is how a simple SIDs with no transitions would be programmed. Once the main SID waypoints are programmed, any existing transition procedures can be programmed. This example has runway specic transitions used to join the main SID. Runway specic procedures are not found at all airports. When they do exist, such as in our example, they are programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport and the specic departure runway for the runway transition. In this example we will program the 25R transition. Enter KLAS and runway 25R into the RTE page. 2. On the LEGS page, enter RBELL into the 1L position & delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2. 6. Press the 4L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID runway transition. 7. Press the LSK abeam the JEBBB1 SID to select it. 8. Press the 6R LSK to save the runway transition.
To program the 25L runway transition, modify steps 1 and 2 to reect runway 25L and PIRMO for that transition. All remaining steps are the same. A more common type of transition is an enroute SID transition that follows the main SID waypoints. This example has two enroute SID transitions that occur after JEBBB. These transitions are programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport. This entry does not have to be made if the departure airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS for our example. 2. On the LEGS page, enter HEC into the 1L position and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. Flight Management System 111

Press the 6R LSK to save the SID transition.
To program the remaining SID transition, substitute TNP for HEC in step 2. All remaining steps are the same. With the programming complete, the JEBBB1 SID can now be selected from the DEP screen for KLAS. When the SID is selected, the main waypoints of ROPPR and JEBBB are added to the LEGS page. If runway 25L or 25R is selected, the appropriate runway transition waypoint is automatically added to the LEGS page. The optional HEC and TNP enroute transitions are offered in the SID TRANS column. When selected, the appropriate enroute transition waypoint is added to the LEGS page.
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the airport for which the STAR applies. We use KLAS in our example. 2. On the LEGS page, enter DANBY and CRESO in their proper sequence and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 5. Press the 4L LSK to save the LEGS as a STAR. 6. Type CRESO1 into the scratchpad and press the 5L LSK to name the STAR. 7. Press the 6L LSK to save the STAR.
The CRESO1 STAR is now part of the KLAS arrival database. If these were the only two waypoints for the STAR, the programming would be complete. This is how a simple STAR with no transitions would be programmed. Once the main STAR waypoints are programmed, any existing transition procedures can be programmed. This example has two enroute STAR transitions used to join the main STAR waypoints. Program the transitions as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the airport for which the STAR applies. This entry does not have to be made if the arrival airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS in our example. 2. On the LEGS page, enter HEC into the 1L position and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2. 6. Press the 2L LSK to save the LEGS as a STAR transition. 7. Press the LSK abeam the CRESO1 STAR to select it. 8. Type HEC into the scratchpad & press the 6L LSK to enter the transition name. 9. Press the 6R LSK to save the STAR transition.
To program the remaining STAR transition, substitute DAG for HEC in step 2. All remaining steps are the same. With the programming complete, the CRESO1 STAR can now be selected from the ARR screen for KLAS. When the STAR is selected, the main waypoints of DANBY and CRESO are added to the LEGS page. The optional HEC and DAG transitions are offered in the STAR TRANS column. When selected, the appropriate transition waypoint is added to the LEGS page.
The main part of the approach procedure consists of the two waypoints leading up to the runway, the runway, and the missed approach procedure. Program the main part of the approach as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the airport for which the approach applies. This entry does not have to be made if the arrival airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS for our example. 2. On the LEGS page, enter the HAWKO and CONDY waypoints in their proper sequence and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the DEP ARR function key to display the KLAS ARR page. If the arrival page is not displayed, use the INDEX prompt to select it from the DEP ARR index. It may be necessary to press the EXEC key to reveal the DEP ARR INDEX prompt. 4. Press the LSK abeam runway 25R in the right column of the ARR page. Use the NEXT PAGE function key if the runway is not displayed on page 1. 5. Press the LEGS function key to display the LEGS page and ensure that the runway appears after the last entered waypoint. 6. On the LEGS page, insert BLD after the runway waypoint. 7. Enter optional crossing airspeeds and altitudes for any waypoints in the right column of the LEGS page. 8. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 9. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 10. Press the 4L LSK to save the LEGS as an approach. 11. Type ILS25R into the scratchpad, then press 5L LSK to name the approach. 12. Press the 6L LSK to save the approach.
The ILS25R is now part of the KLAS arrival database. To program a LOC, VOR, RNAV or NDB approach, follow the same steps as shown here except name the approach appropriately. Once the approach is programmed, any existing transition procedures can be programmed. This example has one approach transition that can be programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the airport for which the approach applies. This entry does not have to be made if the arrival airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS for our example. 2. On the LEGS page, enter CROWE and FLICR in their proper sequence and delete all other waypoints. 3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes. 4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu. 5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2. 6. Press the 3R LSK to save the LEGS as an approach transition. 7. Press the LSK abeam the ILS25R to select it. 8. Type CRESO into the scratchpad & press 6L LSK to enter the transition name. 9. Press the 6R LSK to save the approach transition.
With the programming complete, the ILS25R approach can now be selected from the ARR screen for KLAS. When the approach is selected, the approach waypoints starting at HAWKO are added to the LEGS page. The optional CRESO transition is offered in the APPCH TRANS column. When selected, the appropriate transition waypoints are added to the LEGS page.
Heading to Altitude

Note Be sure to press the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint when entering the formula into the LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for any other waypoint eld generates an error message.
Vectors
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires vectors and can only be programmed while the aircraft is on the ground. An arbitrary anchor waypoint is used to start the programming. .VEC/Heading/Option1/Option2
.VEC Heading Option1 Option2 denes the waypoint as being a constant heading to altitude. the heading or track to maintain. Enter A for automatic turns. specify if a heading or track should be maintained. H= Heading, T= Track
The formula is then entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the arbitrary anchor waypoint. This creates the vector waypoint. The arbitrary anchor waypoint is then deleted. Example From runway 25R at KLAX, a SID requires a heading of 250 for vectors on course. 1. On the LEGS page, enter LAX as an arbitrary waypoint at the 1L LSK. 2. Type .VEC/250/A/H into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK. 3. Press DEL key followed by the 2L LSK to remove the arbitrary LAX waypoint. 4. Press the EXEC function key to execute the changes. Subsequent waypoints can be added starting at the 2L LSK. Note Be sure to press the LSK abeam the arbitrary waypoint when entering the formula into the LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for an empty waypoint eld generates an error message.
Radial Intercept
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until intercepting a x radial. The intercepted radial is then tracked until the next waypoint is reached and can only be programmed while the aircraft is on the ground. The anchor waypoint used to start programming is the x used to dene the intercept radial. Then, the following formula is entered into the scratchpad: .INT/Radial/Heading/Option1/Option2
.INT Radial Heading Option1 Option2 denes the waypoint as being a constant heading to a radial. the radial to be intercepted. the heading or track to maintain to the radial. specify the direction of turn upon waypoint passage. L= Left, R= Right, A= Auto specify if a heading or track should be maintained. H= Heading, T= Track
The formula is entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint. This transforms the anchor waypoint into a radial intercept waypoint. Example A procedure at KMIA requires a 290 heading until intercepting the DHP 335 radial outbound. 1. On the LEGS page, enter DHP as the anchor waypoint at the 1L LSK. 2. Type .INT/335/290/A/H into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK. 3. Press the EXEC function key to execute the changes. Subsequent waypoints can be added starting at the 2L LSK. Note Be sure to press the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint when entering the formula into the LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for any other waypoint eld generates an error message.
FMC Messages
FMC messages alert the ight crew to conditions that could degrade the system operation and advise the crew of input errors. The messages are categorized as alerting and advisory messages. The FMC light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message FMC MESSAGE displays when there is an FMC alerting message.
Use the CLEAR key or correct the condition responsible for the message to remove the message. DISCONTINUITY DRAG REQUIRED END OF ROUTE ENTER IRS POSITION FUEL DISAGREE PROG 2/2 The LNAV mode is active and the route is not dened after the next waypoint (except when the waypoint is before a manually terminated leg, such as a VECTORS leg). VNAV mode is active. Additional drag is required or the autothrottle is currently off and less thrust is required to maintain the current VNAV descent path. The LNAV mode is active and the end of the active route has been overown. The AFDS will maintain the current heading. To delete a waypoint at end of route, press the DEL key, select the waypoint and press the EXEC key. The entered position does not match one of the IRS comparison checks, or the IRS is in navigate mode and has not received a present position entry. Use the CLEAR key to remove this message. The totalizer (TOT) fuel quantity and FMC calculated (CALC) fuel quantity disagree by a signicant amount. The FUEL DISAGREE message is inhibited if the fuel quantity is entered manually on the PERF INIT page. Deleting the manual entry will reset the fuel quantity to the totalizer value, the title to CALC and enable the FUEL DISAGREE message. The estimated fuel at destination is less than entered RESERVES value. The FMC position has not been radio updated for at least 12 minutes. If the FMC position has not been radio updated within at least 12 minutes, an IRS NAV ONLY message is displayed in the scratchpad. If this message is displayed, check that both NAV radios are set to AUTO so that the FMC can auto-tune the radios to receive an update. The inertial reference position differs from the current origin airport. During LNAV mode, an active route has not been activated.

Fuel System
The Level-D 767 has 3 separate fuel tanks capable of carrying a combined total of 161,738 pounds (73,371 kg) of fuel in the wings and center fuselage. Each tank has two electric pumps that deliver fuel under pressure to the engines or the APU. All three tanks are capable of supplying fuel to either engine via two crossfeed valves. There are no provisions for the transfer of fuel between tanks in ight. The overhead Fuel Panel provides for control over the fuel system as well as quantity indications.
Center Tanks
The center fuel tank is contained in the fuselage and is capable of holding 80,400 pounds (36,473 kg) of fuel. This tank contains two electric fuel pumps labeled Left and Right for delivery of fuel to the engines. The center tank fuel pumps are powered from the Main AC buses. The Left Main AC Bus powers the Left pump. The Right Main AC Bus powers the Right pump. Unlike the wing tanks, fuel cannot be gravity fed from the center tank. This makes access to center tank fuel absolutely dependent on the two electric fuel pumps. The fuel pumps in the center tank provide approximately twice the output pressure of the wing tank pumps. Any time the center tank fuel pumps are ON, the engines are provided fuel exclusively from the center tank since these pumps overpower the pressure produced by the wing tank pumps.
In normal operations, all fuel pumps on the Fuel Panel are turned ON when fuel is carried in the center tank. In this conguration, fuel from the center tank is exhausted rst. The center tank fuel pumps are inhibited from operating anytime their respective engine is shut down or N2 is below 50%. In this condition, the PRESS light in each center tank pump switch will illuminate even if the pump is switched ON. The inhibit is removed when the N2 for the respective engine is above 50%. The FUEL CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates any time the center tank fuel quantity is above 1,200 pounds (545 kg) and the center tank pumps are not selected ON. When the center pumps are turned OFF, the remaining fuel in the center tanks is drawn through a venturi by the Left Wing tank pumps. A suction force is created at the centre of the venturi. A pipe is attached to the center of the venturi and the other end of the pipe is located in the bottom of the center tank. The fuel is sucked from the center tanks into the main ow of the venturi.
highest quantity until balance is achieved. Opening the crossfeed valve permits fuel from one wing tank to pass through the crossfeed manifold to supply fuel to both engines. This is achieved by opening the crossfeed valves and turning off the fuel pumps in the wing tank with the least amount of fuel. When the wing tanks are even, turn the fuel pumps back on and close the crossfeed valves to restore the fuel system to normal operation. Note that fuel crossfeed will not work with the center tank pumps operating since they overpower the wing tank pumps. Also, the crossfeed valves do not permit transfer of fuel between wing tanks.
Fuel Dumping
The fuel jettison system permits the dumping of center tank fuel during ight. Control for the jettison system is Fuel Crossfeed provided on the overhead panel via the Fuel Jettison The fuel system is normally operated with fuel from each panel. When the jettison system is activated, fuel from wing tank supplying its respective engine after any center the center tanks is dumped overboard via two jettison tank fuel is exhausted. Two crossfeed valves on the Fuel nozzles located at the trailing edge of the wings (near the outboard ailerons). Panel permit fuel to feed from any one wing tank to both The jettison rate is approximately 2,600 pounds per engines. Both valve switches are normally turned on minute (1,175 kg/min). A fuel vapor trail can be seen during crossfeed operations. However, only one valve is coming from the jettison nozzles when fuel dumping is in required for a successful crossfeed. The second valve is progress. Fuel jettison is not available for fuel contained in for system redundancy. Wing tank fuel balance is maintained by supplying both the main wing tanks. engines with fuel exclusively from the wing tank with the

Hydraulic System
Hydraulic power is used to drive the movement of ight controls (primary and secondary), landing gear, and brakes. The 767 has three independent hydraulic systems: left, center and right. Each system has multiple pumps driven by separate power sources. The left and right systems have engine driven pumps and electric demand pumps. The center system has electric driven pumps and an Air Driven Demand Pump (ADP). This design allows for the loss of 1 or 2 hydraulic systems while providing limited operation of basic ight controls and related systems. A Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is available that powers critical ight controls in the event of complete hydraulic system failure.
the Right Main AC Bus. To reduce electrical demands, the Number 2 pump will not operate (regardless of switch position) if all other electric pumps are operating when only one power source is available. Both pumps are normally ON for all aircraft operations and are shut off at the gate. The air driven demand pump (ADP) is powered using bleed air from the center pneumatic duct. The center isolation valve must be open for the ADP to receive bleed air from either the engines or the APU. Control is provided by a three-position rotary switch with OFF, AUTO and ON positions. In the AUTO position the ADP operates on demand only. In the ON position the ADP operates continuously regardless of system demands.
switched ON, the Number 1 electric pump is activated (regardless of switch position) and an isolation valve channels hydraulic pressure to the brake system. Illumination of the Brake Source light on the main panel indicates that hydraulic pressure in both the right and center systems is low. The Brake Source light extinguishes when pressure has been restored to the center system by using the RESERVE BKS & STRG switch.

Engine Anti-Ice
The engine cowls are heated with engine bleed air when the engine anti-ice switches are switched ON. When switched ON, the anti-ice valve in the respective engine opens to allow hot engine bleed air into the antiice ducting. These valves are electrically controlled and pneumatically actuated. The engine bleed air switches do not effect the operation of the anti-ice valves since bleed air for anti-ice protection is taken prior to the engine bleed valves. The EICAS screen displays TAI in green under the N1 indication for the respective engine when the anti-ice system is switched ON. The engine anti-ice system is normally turned ON at all times while operating in icing conditions. Additionally, the system should be turned on anytime icing conditions are anticipated.
Window Heat
The forward and side windows are electrically heated for ice and fog protection. Control for this system is provided by four switches on the overhead panel. When switched ON, the windows are electrically heated anytime Main AC bus power is available. The switches are normally turned ON prior to departure and turned OFF after engine shutdown.
Windshield Wipers
A two speed wiper is controlled by a rotary switch on the overhead panel. When selected to LOW or HIGH, the windshield wiper will appear while operating in the Virtual Cockpit mode. The wiper is not visible when operating with the 2D panel.
Wing Anti-Ice
The leading edges of each wing have ice protection when the wing anti-ice switch is ON. One switch controls two wing anti-ice valves that are downstream from the engine bleed valves. Therefore, the engine bleed valve switches must be ON for wing anti-ice to function. Wing anti-ice is only available in-ight. The wing anti-ice valves remain closed if the switch is pressed ON while on the ground. Wing anti-ice is normally turned ON only after ice accumulation is suspected.

IRU Alignment
An alignment period is required before the IRUs can supply data. An initial alignment of 10 minutes is required when moving the IRS Mode Selector from OFF to NAV. This is known as a full alignment. During this period the IRUs are oriented to true north and establish their current position. The aircrafts known present position (latitude/longitude) must be entered within the 10 minute alignment period. This entry is normally made using the FMC POS INIT page. Additionally, the aircraft must be on the ground and cannot be moved during alignment. An alignment failure is indicated by the ALIGN lights ashing on the IRS panel. In this case the alignment must be restarted. A successful alignment is indicated by the ALIGN lights extinguishing.
affected IRU using the IRU panel or the CDU POS INIT page. Heading information is then available on the affected EHSI.
IRU Failure
After a full alignment of the IRUs, it is sometimes necessary to update the IRS to remove accumulated errors or establish a new known position. This can be done on the ground via a 30 second quick alignment. The aircraft cannot be moved during the quick alignment period. Moving the IRS Mode Selectors out of NAV and into ALIGN starts the procedure. Entry of a new position is then required (via the IRU panel or FMC) followed by restoring the IRS Mode Selectors to NAV. A successful alignment is indicated by the ALIGN lights extinguishing.
Failure of any IRU is normally indicated by a FAULT light on the IRS panel. In normal operations, failure of the left or right IRU is indicated by the loss of EADI and EHSI information on the respective side. Failure of the center IRU is indicated by a NO LAND 3 message on the Autoland Status Annunciator and a C IRS FAULT message on the EICAS. The Instrument Source Transfer Switches can be used to manage ight instruments during non-normal operation of the IRUs. Use of these switches are explained in the Flight Instruments section.
IRS Drift
If the IRS position drift option is enabled within the Realism & Carrier Options, it is normal for the IRS position to drift from actual aircraft position. To minimize the effects of IRS drift the FMC uses the average of the three IRU positions. Additionally, the FMC updates its position using VOR/DME when the VOR/DME switch is in AUTO and suitable NAV signals are received. If the IRS position and the FMC calculated position differ you will get an FMC message to check your position.
Power is provided to each IRU from either the Main AC buses or the battery. Normally, the left and center IRUs are powered from the Left Main AC Bus. The right IRU is powered from the Right Main AC Bus. Backup power for each IRU is provided by the battery. When powered by the battery, the left and center IRU will continue to operate normally. The right IRU will operate for ve minutes on battery power before shutting down to conserve battery power.
IRU Options
Alignment of an IRU is lost with the loss of both AC and DC power or by moving an IRU Mode Selector out of NAV. IRU alignment can only be restored on the ground. Attitude and heading information from the IRU is still available after a loss of alignment. Moving the IRU Mode Selector to ATT restores the attitude display on the affected EADI. Heading information is also available in this mode if a magnetic heading is entered into the
To adjust the realism options that will make managing the IRUs easier or harder, choose Realism & Carrier Options from the Level-D Settings pull down menu. To prevent the IRUs from drifting disable the IRS position drift box. The IRUs will always display present aircraft position. To allow the IRUs to align automatically without entering lat/long coordinates uncheck the IRS needs position entry box. The IRUs will then align when placed in NAV using the present aircraft position. To allow for a realistic alignment time (approximately 10 minutes), enable IRS real align duration.
COOL MANUAL EXTRA! We are not sure who the author of the following article is, however we feel that the article is one of the best, clearly dened descriptions of the magic that resides within the IGS/INC/IRS. Why not cut it out and post at your workplace for others to enjoy?!
Full Alignment
Initial alignment of 10 minutes is required when moving the IRS Mode Selector from OFF to NAV. This is known as a full alignment. During this period the IRUs are oriented to true north and establish their current position.
Aircraft must be stationary during the alignment process. Both AC & DC power must be on the aircraft (AC Buses powered). Place all three IRS Mode Selector knobs to the NAV position. Observe the ON DC lights come on momentarily (self test) followed by the steady illumination of the ALIGN lights. Place the DSPL SEL knob to PPOS and the SYS DSPL knob to one of the IRUs to be aligned.
Example Enter the current aircraft latitude/longitude position. Current aircraft position = N4037.7 W07346.2 a) For IRS Keypad entry of co-ordinates: press the N key followed by 40377 then press the W key followed by 07346.2 and press the ENT key. b) For FMC entry of co-ordinates: Press the INIT REF key to nd the POS INIT page. If this page is not displayed press the 6L LSK (< INDEX) and select the < POS INIT page. Enter co-ordinates manually into the FMC scratchpad using the FMC keyboard and then press the 5R LSK to put the co-ordinates into the SET IRS POS boxes. Notes
Lat./long. position must be entered using all digits. You cannot leave out zeros. W7346.2 would be invalid. To nd current aircraft lat./long. position use <SHIFT> <Z> and nd the coordinates shown in the top left corner of the outside window. IRUs may be aligned individually or all at the same time. Co-ordinates entered using the IRS Keypad (or FMC) during alignment will be transferred to ALL IRUs during alignment. It is not necessary to enter coordinates individually for each IRU. Full alignment is indicated by the ALIGN lights extinguishing and the EADI attitude ball being displayed. You can monitor the alignment countdown by placing the DSPL SEL switch to HDG. This will show a countdown of seconds to the end of alignment. If alignment fails, the ALIGN lights will ash. Turn the IRS Select knobs OFF and then to NAV to attempt another alignment.
Quick Alignment
This is used to update the IRU latitude and/or longitude if incorrect after full alignment.
The aircraft must be on the ground & must not be moved during the alignment period. For each IRU, move the IRU Select knob from NAV to ALIGN. Observe the ALIGN lights illuminate for those IRUs in ALIGN mode. Place the DSPL SEL knob to PPOS and the SYS DSPL knob to one of the IRUs to be quick aligned.
Example Enter the current aircraft latitude/longitude position. Current aircraft position = N4037.7 W07346.2 a) For IRS Keypad entry of co-ordinates: press the N key followed by 40377 then press the W key followed by 07346.2 and press the ENT key. b) For FMC entry of co-ordinates: Press the INIT REF key to nd the POS INIT page. If this page is not displayed, press the 6L LSK (< INDEX) and select the < POS INIT page. Enter the co-ordinates manually into the FMC scratchpad using the FMC keyboard and then press the 5R LSK to put the co-ordinates into the SET IRS POS boxes. Notes
Place the IRS Select knobs back to NAV. Quick alignment takes 30 seconds. Lat./long. position must be entered using all digits. You cannot leave out zeros. W7346.2 would be invalid. To nd current aircraft lat./long. position use <SHIFT> <Z> and view the coordinates displayed in the top left corner of the outside window. IRUs may be quick aligned individually or all at the same time. Co-ordinates entered using the IRS Keypad (or FMC) during alignment will be transferred only to those IRUs in the quick align mode. Alignment of other IRUs is not affected. The end of quick alignment is indicated by the ALIGN lights extinguishing. You can monitor the quick alignment countdown by placing the DSPL SEL switch to HDG. This will show a countdown of seconds to the end of alignment. If alignment fails, the ALIGN lights will ash. You must rotate the IRS Select knobs to the OFF position and then rotate to the NAV position to do a full alignment.
ATT Mode
If an IRU loses alignment in ight you cannot realign it. The ATT mode might restore attitude and heading information to the EHSI and EADI. This example assumes the Left IRU has lost alignment since the Captain EADI/ EHSI uses the L IRU primarily.
Place the L IRU Select knob to ATT mode. Observe the attitude ball return to the EADI. Place the EHSI selector to one of the VOR or ILS modes (EXP or FULL).
Enter the current aircraft magnetic heading into the IRU as follows: a) Place the DSPL SEL knob in HDG. b) Move the SYS DSPL knob to the affected IRU (in this case L). c) Press H on the IRS Keypad followed by the current aircraft magnetic heading as read from the whisky compass. The heading entry is in the xxx.x format (the period is inserted automatically). d) Press the ENT key to enter the heading into the IRU. Observe the magnetic heading listed in the IRS Display window. Observe that the EHSI heading is restored. Notes
If you move any IRS Select knob to ATT mode, alignment will be lost for the rest of the ight. Magnetic heading may need updating periodically during ight since there is no error correction in this mode. Flight director information is NOT available in ATT mode. EHSI map data MAY be available depending on number of aligned IRUs and FMC position information. The ATT mode does not supply position information to the FMC since that is lost with loss of alignment.

IRS Positions/Groundspeed ....................................................Check Note Enter the aircraft coordinates via the FMC POS INIT page. The coordinates may also be entered using the IRS keypad. To check the IRS positions and groundspeed, use the DISPL SEL and SYS DISPL knobs on the IRS panel. All IRS positions should agree and the ground speeds should be less than 3 knots per IRU.
Landing Gear
The landing gear consists of two main gear trucks and one nose gear. Control for the landing gear is provided by a handle on the far side of the main panel. Three positions are available: DOWN, UP and OFF. Hydraulic power from the Center system is required for landing gear retraction and extension. An electric backup system is provided as an alternate means for gear extension. Placing the gear handle in the UP position commands gear retraction if Center hydraulic power is available. After gear retraction, the handle is normally placed in the OFF position (via mouse click on the gear handle). This position cuts off hydraulic power to the landing gear so that the gear are held UP mechanically. Placing the gear in the DOWN position commands the gear extension sequence. Retraction and extension is monitored by the gear indication system above the gear handle on the main panel. An alternate gear extension system is provided if the gear fail to extend normally. The system uses an electric motor to release the mechanical up-locks holding the gear in place. The gear are then extended by gravity and airloads. The use of this alternate system requires electrical power only. A landing conguration warning will activate if the aircraft is in the landing conguration (aps 25 or 30), the landing gear is not down and locked, and a thrust lever is at idle with the radio altitude below 800 feet. The landing conguration warning includes the illumination of the MASTER light, the CONFIG warning light, the aural warning siren, the GPWS aural TOO LOW... GEAR and the GEAR NOT DOWN (EICAS warning) message. The siren and alert message cannot be cleared until the crew corrects the conguration warning by putting the gear down or by pressing the gear override switch. The landing gear can be automatically lowered (through 1000 feet) if the F/O handles aps option is enabled from the Add-ons> Level-D Simulations> Preferences menu.
Brakes can be applied automatically using the Autobrake system. The Autobrakes use the normal braking system to provide a metered braking application in the event of a rejected takeoff or during the landing rollout. The system is controlled by the Autobrake selector on the main panel. The following positions are available: RTO, OFF, DISARM, 1, 2, 3, 4, and MAX AUTO. The Autobrakes use information from the IRS system to apply braking at a set deceleration rate based on the Autobrake selector switch setting. For takeoff, the RTO position applies maximum available braking during a rejected takeoff. The system is armed when reaching 85 knots and is activated if both power levers are reduced to idle. For landing, selecting positions 1 through MAX applies a varying amount of braking with 1 being the least amount and MAX being the most. The Autobrake system is automatically disengaged when manual brakes are applied.
Tailskid
The airplane is equipped with a tailskid system. The tailskid extends for takeoff and landing and retracts during ight. It helps to protect the pressurized part of the airplane from contact with the runway. The tailskid uses the main landing gear actuation system. The TAILSKID light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message TAILSKID is displayed when the tailskid position disagrees with the landing gear lever position.
Brakes
The main gear have hydraulic brakes that can be controlled manually or automatically via an Autobrake system. The nose wheels do not contain a braking system. The brake system is normally powered by the Right hydraulic system. An alternate means to power the brake system is provided by the Center hydraulic system. If both Center and Right hydraulic power sources fail, a reserve brake system can be used to restore hydraulic pressure to the brakes.

VOR Receivers
Two VOR receivers are found on the main panel. VOR 1 is located on the Captains side of the AFDS panel. VOR 2 is located on the First Ofcers side of the AFDS and is visible when the FO panel is displayed. Each VOR receiver is capable of both manual tuning and automatic tuning via the FMC. When the VOR receiver is in the AUTO mode, the FMC tunes the VOR receiver automatically to nearby stations for position verication. The VOR can also be remotely tuned by the FMC using the PROG page. When the VOR is in the MAN mode, the pilot controls the tuned frequency and course. VOR information is displayed on the EHSI and the RDMI for the on-side VOR receiver. On the EHSI, VOR information is displayed when the full or expanded VOR modes is selected on the HSI mode control panel. On the RDMI, VOR information is displayed when the RMI selector needle is pointing at VOR. The currently tuned VOR frequency & its identier is shown in the FMC.
VHF Radios
Two VHF radios are installed on the pedestal. Each receiver has an active and a standby frequency displayed. Switching between the active and standby frequencies is done by pressing the frequency selection TFR switch. Control for the audio output of each radio is provided by the Audio Control Panel.
HF Radios
Two HF radios are found on the overhead panel. The receiver is controlled by a rotary switch with OFF, USB and AM positions. The radio is normally left in the OFF position. To turn the HF radio on, place the switch in the USB or AM position. The audio output from the HF radio is controlled by the Audio Control Panel. The only frequencies that do not have static are 5.000, 10.000 and 15.000. These frequencies broadcast a clock tone.

Warning Systems
There are three main systems on the aircraft that provide the ight crew with aural and visual alerts when potential problems or conicts are detected. The Crew Alerting System (CAS) monitors aircraft systems. The Trafc Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) alerts of possible trafc conicts. The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) warns of hazardous ight conditions when proximity to terrain becomes critical.
The GPWS may not provide a warning for terrain that is abruptly vertical to the ight path and may not alert in the event of slow descents into terrain if the aircraft is in landing conguration. The GPWS utilizes data from the air data system, inertial reference system, instrument landing system and radio altimeters.
The GPWS system provides the following aural warning messages to the crew. TERRAIN TERRAIN Closure rate to the ground is excessive. The warning envelope depends on conguration, airspeed, radio height and closure rate. WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP Announced when dangerous proximity to the ground Multiple fault conditions are prioritized by the system so requires immediate action from the pilot. The warning that Warnings have the highest priority over Cautions and envelope depends on conguration, airspeed, radio Advisories. Both Warnings and Cautions generate an aural height and closure rate. alert and trigger the illumination of the master WARNING or TOO LOWFLAPS CAUTION light on the glareshield.

Fire Warnings are still active and do generate an aural alert on the ground. TOO LOWTERRAIN During the takeoff roll and initial climb out, all Warnings Announced when the aircraft has unsafe terrain and Cautions are inhibited starting around 80 knots and clearance at low airspeed.

It also provides SINK RATE information alerts to assist the crew with situational Excessive descent rate near the ground. awareness. The system operates automatically and can MINIMUMS MINIMUMS be inhibited if necessary by pressing the G/S INHIBIT Announced when the radio height matches the value area on the main panel. set in the DH selector on the pedestal. The GPWS provides altitude callouts during landing to GLIDESLOPE assist the crew. The following callouts are made based Announced when the aircraft is below the glideslope on radio height: 2500, 500, 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and by an unacceptable margin. MINIMUMS (based on DH setting on the pedestal). The system also advises when an excessive bank angle exists by announcing BANK ANGLE. Above 150 feet, the announcement is activated past 40 degrees of bank. Below 150 feet, the activation angle is reduced progressively from 40 to 10 degrees at 30 feet.

elcome to Level-D Simulations 767-300ER Flight 001 from Vancouver to San Francisco, brought to you by members of the beta team. We are not professional pilots. But, some of our technical advisors are real world 767 pilots. They have read through this document and are satised with the information we have provided. They arent going to let any of us y their real 67 just yet, but they havent ofcially said no to our requests to dead-head a couple ights for a week or two (at our expense of course). This tutorial for Flight Simulator X will provide new and intermediate users with general guidelines to effectively y the Level-D 767. This is not the denitive guide: that document would encompass several thousand pages, and require the user to devote thousands of hours of study. The Level-D 767-300 does not simulate every aircraft function or airline specic option: that aircraft simulator add-on has never been built, and, if it was available to the consumer would likely cost a great deal more than the current Level-D 767 retail cost. It is also important to note that no two airlines operate their aircraft in the same manner. Each airline adopts SOPs (standard operating procedures) for the aircraft in their eet. While your airline may operate with different standards than those set forth, we have chosen to adopt a mix of standards to ensure the safe operation of the LDS767. This is the fourth version of the Golden Gate Run tutorial ight. Each version has been improved, claried and expanded with input from the team and users. Every effort has been made during the creation of this tutorial to include all relevant materials to successfully operate the 767 in all phases of ight. Color images have been included (when warranted) to provide accurate reference screenshots to assist the user. The scope of the tutorial does not include all aspects of ight simulation. For specic information regarding Microsoft Flight Simulator X, weather programs, departure / arrival charts, route building, air trafc control, etc, consult the relevant sources on the internet. This version of the tutorial introduces pre-built mission les that allow the user to choose different panel set-ups while on the ground at Vancouver. It is recommended to choose the Cold & Dark mission to get the most out of this tutorial. We encourage you to save your own situation les for the climb, cruise, descent and arrival phases of ight. User-saved les can be chosen from the FSX File> Load menu option. When loading a saved Level-D 767 situation le the panel and systems will reload and stabilize quickly. Our ight will use the Expanded Checklist - included in the manual - for its structure. The Level-D 767 is a complex simulation. It will take you many hours to master the aircraft. Dont get discouraged by the complexity of the simulation - follow along, step by step (pause the sim if you have to), but stick at it. The reward is the journey, not the accomplishment of the task. While this tutorial serves a useful purpose, please take the time to read the operations manual to gain a deeper understanding of the individual systems and procedures of the 767-300. Enjoy the ight from Vancouver to San Francisco, Captain: we know that you will feel a great sense of satisfaction learning and mastering the Level-D Simulations 767.
Mission Setup
The missions included with the 767 for FSX do not present a reward for the successful completion of the Golden Gate Run. We are still exploring the limits of mission creation with the 767 and hope to release reward mission modules in the near future. Perhaps users will be inspired to try to create their own Level-D 767 missions, or work to add to the Golden Gate Run?
Simulator Settings
It is important that FSX and the 767 be congured with the settings listed below before we can begin the tutorial. Lets adjust some FSX & Level-D settings.
Tutorial Conventions
FSX Settings From the FSX menu bar, choose SETTINGS. Set the following options: General > Deselect Pause on Task Switch International > Hybrid (feet, milibars) This tutorial contains text and layout conventions that will assist the user. CHECKLISTS Checklist Item ............................... Checklist Action
Explanation of the Checklist Item and Action. Checklist Items and Actions appear in bolded text and may be followed by an explanation of the task in smaller text. The checklist item and action denote a task that is part of the Normal Procedures Checklist. Checklists contain, in abbreviated form, information required by the ight crew to operate the aircraft. The checklists are grouped in sections and in chronological order. Not all checklist items require an action. Some will simply require verication that certain switches, panels, and/or systems are in the listed checklist action description or ready state. In the example below, the ight crew must verify that the EEC switches are in the required ON position. No action is required if the swicthes are in the ON position. Check to make sure both switches are ON. These switches are always left ON
This tutorial will use the International Hybrid units of measure option, which means that all weights will be shown in kilograms. Imperial measurements (pounds) will be displayed throughout the tutorial when possible.

When the simulator loads, you are greeted with the aircraft in a cold & dark state. Providing electrical power to the aircraft is the rst order of business. Open the overhead panel <SHIFT><5> or press the OVHD button (located on the main panel). The Normal Procedures & Checklist will be our guide for this tutorial, which is written with the ow concept. But, before we get to the ow, we have to do some jumping around on the overhead panel to get the power owing through the aircraft. Powering the 767 seems to be one of the more confusing procedures for many new users. For this section of the tutorial, follow the text on the right with the numbered diagrams on the left to power the 767.

Overhead Preparation
The Cockpit Preparation ow starts with the upper left hand corner of the overhead panel <SHIFT><5> and continues in a downward pattern. Each panel is checked in a downward direction beginning at the top of every column. Some real world airlines follow a down-up pattern for the overhead panel. For our purposes, normal procedures are completed using the downward ow concept. After the overhead is checked, the ight instruments and AFDS panel are checked from left to right. From the AFDS panel, follow down the EICAS screens to preight the pedestal systems. Fuel quantity and balance ............................. Check

The MENU page displays when the FMC is initially loaded. Press the <FMC prompt next to the 1L Line Select Key (LSK). Pressing the 1L LSK activates the FMC. The rst page to display after the FMC is activated is the IDENT page. The IDENT page lists information about the software loaded into the FMC (aka Navdata). In the real aircraft, the accuracy of information displayed on this page is extremely important because incorrect FMC data can adversely effect operations. For our purposes the prompts at the 6L and 6R position are of interest. Pressing the 6L LSK abeam the <INDEX prompt displays the INIT/ REF INDEX page. Pressing the 6R LSK abeam POS INIT> will display the POS INIT page.

The INIT/REF INDEX permits the selection of the preight pages in the FMC. The pages listed on this page require data input to successfully set-up the FMC. But, it is not required to use the INDEX page to step through the preight pages. The 6R position offers a quick and efcient way for pilots to complete the preight status of the FMC.
Tutorial Flight 152
Most of these pages are also used in ight. During the preight, a prompt at the lower right (6R LSK) allows the ight crew to step through the minimum requirements for preight completion. Selecting the prompt key at the 6R LSK position displays the next page in the ow. The text message INCOMPLETE will display at 6R LSK until the minimum requirements are met. The text message COMPLETE will display at 6R LSK when the minimum requirements are met. The COMPLETE message will display if a departure runway has not been selected. NOTE that there is no preight prompt at the 6R position to enter the departure runway. A route must be entered and activated during the preight ow. The minimum route data requirement is origin and destination airports, and one route waypoint. Remember that when starting at the IDENT page of the FMC, there is always a prompt displayed at the 6R LSK position that will lead you through the preight of the FMC. Continue entering data on each page until COMPLETE displays abeam the 6R LSK position. Lets enter our ight plan (CYVR YYJ J589 RBG.GOLDEN4 KSFO) into the FMC.

Be careful not to transfer the ZFW value to the 1L (GR WT) position. Not a good thing! Enter the Reserves fuel of 3.1 (3100kg) or 6.8 (lbs). Press the 4L LSK (RESERVES column). The reserve fuel entry of 3.1 will transfer to 4L position. Enter a cruise altitude (CRZ ALT) of 37,000 feet into the scratchpad (370, FL370, or 37000 formats are accepted). Press 1R LSK (CRZ ALT column). The pad entry will transfer to the 1R position as FL370. Enter the Cost Index of 90 into the scratchpad. Press 2R LSK and the cost index scratchpad entry of 90 will transfer to 2R position. Pause for the Cost Index...
If youve ever wondered How does the cost index work? you are not alone. Understanding and computing the cost index is a complicated affair. We are not prepared to offer the denitive answer (we may run out of paper in the process), but, what we can say is that the cost index is derived from these factors: current fuel cost, maintenance costs, ight crew and cabin crew cost per hour, aircraft leasing costs, airline schedule requirements, as well as trip distance, aircraft load, and cruise altitude winds. The FMC Economy (ECON) calculations are based on the value entered in this eld. The standard value entered is 80. Values can range from 0 to 9999. Entering 0 gives maximum range airspeed and minimum fuel consumption. Higher values increase the cruise speed and fuel consumption for the calculated ECON speed. As reported in the LDS767 forum each real-world airline computes and adopts their own CI (cost index) gures. Here are some of the (unconrmed) gures that have been reported in the forum: Air Canada ................................70 British Airways ..........................40 Delta ......................75, 113, & 377 First Choice ..............................60 United ........................................40 A low cost index causes a lower cruise speed. Maximum range cruise or the minimum fuel speed schedule may be obtained by entering a cost index of zero. This speed schedule ignores the cost of time. A low cost index may be used when fuel costs are high compared to operating costs. Modications to the cost index are accepted within 10 nautical miles of the top of descent.
TAKEOFF REF
The TAKEOFF REF (1/2) page displays. Press NEXT PAGE to display the TAKEOFF REF (2/2) page. We will now program the takeoff data with the outside air temperature, winds, runway conditions, aps settings, and CG trim. Once this data is entered, the aircrafts V-speeds are automatically calculated and displayed in the right column. But, lets program the TAKEOFF REF (2/2) page rst.
If you are running a weather program, you may enter XX (two digits) for the temperature, and XXX/XX format for the wind data, and /W or /D for runway conditions. Enter XX for temperature into the scratchpad. Press the 5R LSK and the pad entry of XX transfers to the REF OAT column (14C depicted). Enter XXX/XX for winds. Press the 3L LSK and the entry of XXX/XX will transfer to 3L position. The value will autoll at the 4L position. Enter /W or /D for wet or dry runway if applicable. Press 5L LSK. The pad entry of /W or /D will transfer to the 5L position (SLOPE/COND). Slope is not modelled but you can enter the value listed on the runway chart. Press the PREV PAGE function key to return to the TAKEOFF REF (1/2) page. We will now enter our aps settings and CG Trim. The CG Trim values are found on the load sheet that the Conguration Manager creates.

On July 29, 1983, veteran pilots Bob Pearson and Maurice Quintal were at the controls of Air Canada Flight 143 when the unbelievable happened: they ran out of fuel. The aircraft (Fin #604) landed safely at an abandoned Royal Canadian Air Force Base located in Gimli, Manitoba. The avoidance of disaster was credited to Captain Pearsons Knowledge of gliding which he applied in an emergency situation to the landing of one of the most sophisticated aircraft ever built. Captain Pearson strongly credits Quintal for his cockpit management of Everything but the actual ight controls, including his recommendation of Gimli as an landing spot. The aircraft went back in service (after a million dollar repair) and has been known ever since as the Gimli Glider.

Takeoff
Once the aircraft arrives at the hold point for runway 26L, imagine that the Vancouver Tower controller clears LDS001 to position and hold on runway 26L. The takeoff - like the landing phase - is the most intense part of the pilots job. Please take the time to read the entire takeoff section before actually trying to take to the air with the 767 simulator. Okay... youve read the entire section, right? Right?! Arm the autothrottle and turn on the anti-collision lights before entering the runway A/T .......................................................................Arm Exterior Lights .................................................... Set
At 5 kts before V1 (in our case, 125 knots) move your hand from the throttle lever to the yoke and mentally prepare to take ANY problem into the air, excluding situations where the aircraft controllability is severely impaired or if the aircraft otherwise becomes unyable Monitor airspeed for V1 and Vr
At Vr, rotate smoothly until airborne and then establish an approximate 15 pitch up attitude. Then follow the magenta colored Flight Director pitch commands on the EADI.
At Vr begin a steady pull (2-3 of rotation per second) on the yoke to establish a gentle but rm rotation and liftoff.
When lining up do not waste runway length. Dont worry about not being properly lined up on the runway centreline. Correct this during the takeoff roll. Vancouver Tower clears LDS001 for takeoff, runway 26L. Transponder ......................................... AUTO or ON TCAS .........................................................Set TA/RA
Note: To toggle trafc on the EHSI, press the top of the EHSI Range Selector knob. A TCAS OFF message is shown on the EHSI if the TCAS display is toggled OFF.
Once in the air, point the nose of the aircraft to an attitude that will result in a speed of v2+15 to v2+25, but do not exceed 25 of pitch. After liftoff, once a positive rate of climb (VSI shows climb and altimeter is showing increase in altitude) is established, you can then raise the landing gear. Positive rate of climb .................................. Gear Up
Gear handle UP, then OFF when retracted.
Smoothly advance the throttles to approximately 60-70% N1, and allow the engines to stabilize.
Try to keep the V2+15 (to 25) pitch prole. If the aircraft accelerates past the target speed, do not increase the pitch to slow down, just settle with what you end up with. At 400
Select LNAV or HDG SEL on the AFDS (MCP) as required. For LNAV, use the DIRECT TO procedure or intercept the route course using HDG SEL.
Switch on the autothrottle and press the N1 button on the AFDS (MCP). Verify proper thrust is set prior to 80 knots. Observe the takeoff thrust being set (N1 gauge), and eventually agree with the visible TO limit, then, advance the throtlles fully to the foward position. Keep a slight forward pressure on the yoke to enhance nosewheel contact to the asphalt, and slowly release the pressure when you pass 80 knots.
If the departure is complicated - which is not the case here - you could assist the aircraft by ying the rst turns in HDG SEL, and engaging LNAV once youre past the shorter legs. At 1000
Engage VNAV. Follow Flight Director commands. Alternately, select FLCH and set the MCP speed to 240 knots.
Verify 80 knots
Verify that THR HOLD mode is displayed in the top left corner of the EADI. Observe the FMA annunciating the release of the A/T servos with THR HOLD, and make a mental note of moving from the low-speed abort to the high-speed abort stage.
At 1000 AGL select a VERTICAL mode from the MCP. Choose VNAV, FLCH or V/S. V/S is used primarily in an engine out situation. Through 1500 AGL pitch the nose down slightly, press C CMD on the MCP. The aircraft should continue on runway heading.

Of course you also have to make sure you can transition to raw data if needed (i.e. Fly on the basic navigational instruments). In short: PREPARE. Since Otto seems to have things under control, lets examine some of the other pages available on the FMC. Fuel Panel

PROGRESS Page
Press PROG (FK). The PROGRESS page (1/2) will be displayed. Note the estimated fuel for each waypoint and the destination. Compare the progress data with the included ight plan. Record the fuel burn data into the ightplan fuel columns.
In real operations of the 767, the cruise phase would be the time when the ight crew would program the arrival approach/runway. For the purposes of this tutorial we programmed the arrival runway during the FMC setup while we were on the ground in Vancouver. We chose to land on runway 28R at San Francisco (the preferred arrival runway). In the real world, the winds (weather) and air trafc control would dictate which runway we would land on. If you are using an active weather program and the winds are above 08kts, 28R may not be appropriate. If youre comfortable planning a different arrival runway, go right ahead: for the purposes of this tutorial, we will stick with runway 28R. If we were connected to an online network, there is a very good likelihood that our arrival would be altered (ATC may dictate crossing & speed restrictions, or provide vectors off our planned arrival route altogether). In such circumstances, it is best to have a pen & paper handy to write down all clearances. Continue to the monitor the aircraft systems, fuel burn, wind data, etc. During the cruise phase of ight, with VNAV, LNAV and C CMD engaged, the EADI will display: SPD | VNAV PTH | LNAV | CMD
The " EADI Displays A/T ag option is enabled. Therefore, the A/T ag will be displayed below the rst column at the top of the EADI if the A/T is engaged.
Press NEXT PAGE (FK). The PROGRESS (2/2) page will be displayed. Note the information displayed on PROGRESS page and compare them to the ight plan. Make notes on your ight plan for fuel burn, winds aloft, and check to make sure the aircraft will arrive with fuel to spare: nothing worse than heading to an alternate due to weather and not having the requisite fuel to get there. Thats a big Oooops. Just ask the crew of the Gimli Glider how much fun that is.
VNAV Page
Lets look at the VNAV pages... Press VNAV function key. The ACT ECON CRZ (2/3) page will be displayed. On this page, you can view the ight level, cruise speed, step climb format (in this instance RVSM (2000)), step climb information, destination estimated time of arrival and fuel, and the optimum and maximum calculated ight levels. You can manually change your ight level, cruise speed, and step climb format, as well as access FMC sub pages.
Descent
When the aircraft is approximately 30nm back of the T/D Dial 11000 in the MCP ALT Window. Choose a descent option below. For this tutorial we will use the rst option, the VNAV descent. But, if you want to try the tutorial again, try a different descent option.
Descent Options
1. VNAV descent. Dont touch anything! When the aircraft reaches T/D it will automatically descend to the targeted MCP altitude (11000) at LOZIT. 2. DES NOW > to descend before the calculated T/D.

Set, tune and identify instruments and radios required for an instrument approach. Set speed bugs for landing (use automatic bug speed mouse click area for easy setting). Set 1 through MAX AUTO as appropriate. The use of autobrakes is at pilot discretion.
Review, discuss, evaluate, and conrm all aspects of the impending arrival. That means planning the procedure for go-around and/or missed approach; nal speed & aps/ setting; other pertinent information that you and your crew will need to make a safe landing.
Approach Brieng
!
During the initial descent, take the time to reexamine the charts and brief the ight crew on the planned approach. Consult the charts on this page. This is the plan: Cross LOZIT at 11000. Depart SFO heading of 070, HDG SEL mode. Outbound SFO 1 to 1.5 minutes (depending on the aircraft speed), 070 heading. Right turn 103, downwind leg. Descend to 3000, FLCH mode, 220 knots. When G/S Deviation Scale (EADI) above the center mark, right turn base leg to 230 or direct the DUMBA waypoint. Intercept the 28R LOC (111.7 & 283). Go around: 281, climb to 3000 direct to VIKYU INT and hold.
Dont forget to ALERT the F/As BEFORE you begin the descent phase. No need to have the coffee carts rolling down the aisles! The RESET MCP ALT message (FMC scratchpad) displays 20nm back of T/D as a reminder to reset the MCP altitude to a lower value. Use the reminder to ALERT the F/As of the descent. Verify that the FMC data is correct. If you are running an active weather program, reset the altimeter to the KSFO local barometric setting once the aircraft has passed 18000 feet. Though not SOP, I prefer to start the APU on the downwind leg (just in case).

Once established on an approach, the (auto)pilot will follow the ILS and descend along the glideslope, until the Decision Altitude is reached (for a typical Category I ILS, this altitude is 200 feet above the runway). At this point, the pilot must have the runway or its approach lights in sight to continue the approach. If neither can be seen, the approach must be aborted and a Missed Approach procedure will be initiated, where the aircraft will climb back to a predetermined altitude. From there the pilot will either try the same approach again or divert to another airport. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_Landing_System

Looks like Im due to arrive at 0706Z with 20.8 remaining. Lets see if adding tail winds will help. I go to my ight plan and look at my wind aloft data for the upcoming x, in this case N51W020, highlighted in yellow.
Since I want to enter wind data for N51W020, the rst x on the page, I click on the RSK associated to the FIX, and then Ive found the wind aloft page for the x! But it is, of course, blank right now! Although Ive stepped up to FL350, the wind I have is for FL310--it should be close enough for prediction, so well use it anyway. So I put in 350 into the ALT box, as seen in previous picture. Now the FMC generated the aloft entry for FL350, for which I put in my wind: 241/71, into the associated RSK.
Ok, I see that at x N51W020 I have wind of 241071 AT FL310. Lets put this into the FMC. LEGS page, and then go to the RTE DATA page.
Great! Thats all there is to it, now this FIX and every FIX after N51W020 with have wind 241/71, but not every FIX is going to have the same wind. Lets look at our ight plan again... Next FIX, DINIM, has the same wind, and the FMC has already automatically entered the wind data into all remaining FIXes after N51W020, we DONT need to redundantly enter it again. However, at GIPER, highlighted in red, has different wind data: 313/14, so well enter this in.
Using the NEXT key from the wind aloft page, I scroll to the page for GIPER, and I see that the FMC has put the previous entry, 241/71, into all the remaining xes (in small font). Were going to override this entry with our own by entering 313/14: Now, every FIX after GIPER will be entered with wind 313/14 by the FMC; every FIX before GIPER and after N51W020 will be 241/71. Understand? What you enter is copied to all the remaining FIXes until you enter a new wind, and that wind is then copied..etc. Lets go back to RTE DATA page using the RSK:
Here I see a W for WIND entered in the 2 way points, N51W020 and GIPER, the blank FIXes use the wind from the above W. Now, back to PROG:
Entering the tail winds help a bit: my ETA is now down to 0658Z, 8 minutes earlier than without wind, and Im saving extra 1.4x1000 lbs of fuel! Remember, just because you have 40 FIXes in your transpacic route doesnt mean you need to enter data for all of them--NO! You only need to enter the FIXes where the wind changes. But hey, if you have 10 hours until TOD... maybe its not a bad idea. Preston > KLAX Thanks to Preston - LDS 767 forum member with Willy Wonka as his nickname - for submitting this great tutorial.
When ying at night, turn off the lights. If ying into a dawn or sunset, shine a 120 watt bulb into your face. If your SO complains, do informational picketing, then walk if that doesnt work. If you y with a co-pilot, determine whos senior and dump the radios, walk-around and second meal choice on the junior crewmember. If your co-pilot leaves the ightdeck and youre above FL350, place a mask over your nose/mouth till they return. If your ying a new Boeing, throw a blanket with fuzzy surface on your chair. This should leave lint on your clothes like real Boeing ight deck seatcovers do. If you y a Glass cockpit a/c, type at least 40 wpm. (old steam gauge pilots joke). Find the lumpiest bed in your house, pretend it is a hotel and sleep for EXACTLY 8 hours before the alarm. Enjoy your Sim Session

Important Notes
Conguration Manager and Documentation
The Conguration Manager icon is installed to the Windows desktop. Run the Conguration Manager to congure the aircraft before starting the Level-D 767. It is no longer a requirement to run the Conguration Manager prior to starting the 767 after installation. See the Start> Programs> Flight One Software> Level-D Simulations 767-300> menu for program options and documentation. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required: http://www.adobe.com.
French and German language les are in the Level-D Simulations\Language modules folder. LVLDGerman.dll for German and LVLDFrench.dll for French. Place either one in your FSX\Modules folder and rename it LVLDLanguage.dll. The le will provide certain language features to the product. If you remove the DLL from the Modules folder, the language will revert to English. DO NOT REMOVE the LVLD.dll le.
This product is optimized for a full screen display resolution of 1280 x 960. Although not required, this setting is recommended.

PROCEDURES
The SIDS and STARS dont show up in the FMC, why? Select airport procedures are included with the 767 for FSX, but Level-D Simulations does not create or maintain these procedures. The procedures are created by users. You will have to create your own, and share your work by uploading to a ight simulation le service. Alternately, there are freeware and payware services which offer a selection of procedures. The SIDS and STARS still dont show up in the FMC, why? NOTE: Your machine may need the le called msxml.msi (MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 (Microsoft XML Core Services)). Download the msxml.msi le from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details. aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&Displa yLang=en How do I create my own procedures? The FMS section of this manual will give you all the details.
SETUP
The Conguration Manager isnt working. I load the 767 in FSX and the fuel is always at 100%, when I have set the fuel in the Conguration to less than 70%. Why? The Conguration Manager is working properly. While it does change and set the cargo load, ZFW and GR WT in FSX, it does not set the fuel load. This is a proposed fuel amount only. Once FSX has started and the Level-D 767 loads, you will have to manually load the fuel via the menu bar to match the amount you have proposed. How can I view the Loadsheet created by the Cong Manager? Simply create a shortcut to your desktop of ...\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\LVLD_B763\767LoadSheet.txt Can I use the old Flight plan format from the 2000/2002/2004 versions of the 767 in the FSX version? Yes, the old 767 .rte ight plan format can be used in the Level-D 767 for FSX. I cant sit for 12 hours and y at 1x sim rate. What simulation rate can I safely use if I want to cut down the ying time? 4x is recommended. But 8x has been tested with a routing that is relatively straight and no winds. Safest bet is to use 4x max.
AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
The ap indicator jumps from 0 to 1, is it broken? Nope. This is the way it works in real life. Due to sensor construction/operation you will not see the indication report mid travel position from aps 0 to 1, this is modeled as it is in real life. I hear a high pitch siren when I shut down the APU, why? The tone is from the ground crew warning horn on the nose gear to alert the engineers that the IRSs are still turned on after AC electrical power has been turned off. To cancel the sound, switch the all three IRS on the overhead panel from NAV to OFF, or restore Ground or APU power. The APU doesnt seem to be starting. Whats going on? The APU start time has been modeled to take between 1 and 2 minutes to start. The start time is realistic. Within two minutes the RUN indication will tell you that the APU is available. Why do the HF radios emit static? HF is not simulated in FS. The static is simulating the static heard when no transmission are being made on the HF frequencies. The only frequencies that do not have static are 5.000, 10.000 and 15.000. These frequencies broadcast a clock tone. The HF radios are non-functional. To help with realism you can play the real Atlantic Oceanic during you ight at LiveATC.net.
VIRTUAL COCKPIT
I cannot set the air speed bugs in the VC with the hidden click spot on the Airspeed indicator. Why? The airspeed click spot to set the bugs is only available on the 2D panel. Set the bug in the 2D panel and return to the VC and bugs will be set.

VNAV DESCENT
Is it normal for the VNAV to drive the descent at a different speed than whats dened in the VNAV DES page? In VNAV PATH, VNAV will follow the path, allowing actual speed to be off by up to +/- 15 knots. So if the path prediction is a bit off or you have winds that would not be unusual. You can now add throttle to adjust if youre getting too slow because AT is in HOLD mode. Make sure that the actual aircraft weight matches what you have in the FMC. Other than winds this is the most likely cause of an incorrectly calculated path. Previous 767 yers are going to have to get used to the idea of the descent speed wandering to maintain the path. Unlike previous versions, the FMC is now calculating a true idle descent and the throttles DO NOT MOVE once they go to idle. If you are using a weather program then it is unlikely that the behaviour of FSX in interpreting windspeeds is going to match the way the FMC does it. There will be differences, so you will HAVE TO manage your descent speed, either through adding throttle (which is easy now because the AT will be in HOLD mode) or by adding speed brake. Once the end of idle descent waypoint has been passed the throttle will be in SPD mode so speed will be maintained as with previous versions of the 767, within the limits of the throttles ability to do so. NEW to FSX The descent logic in the FSX version of the 767 has modied from the FS9 version. Below is a quick point description of the Pegasus FMC logic and the associated VNAV descent characteristics.
CONFIGURATION MANAGER
Conguration Manager does not offer cockpit panel options for NO VC, VC, etc...? The Manager has been changed and only needs to be run to change the default aircraft weights. The FSX version of the Conguration Manager does not include a No VC panel option. By default 2D panels and VC cockpit are active. The Virtual Cockpit preferences are set from the FSX Options> Settings> Display> Cockpit Settings menu. For users who prefer to y with a 2D panel only (NO VC), some one-time editing of the individual model conguration les must be done. To enable 2D panel view (NO VC) follow these steps: 1. Open a model.xx (xx=GE, RR or PW) directory from the ...\FSX\ SimObjects\Airplanes\LVLD_B763 folder There are 3 les inside each model.xx folder: 767300.mdl, 767300_interior.mdl & model.cfg 2. Open the model.cfg le with a text editor (Notepad) The model.cfg text string: [models] normal=767300 interior=767300_interior Delete the interior=767300_interior text string. The model.cfg text string should now read: [models] normal=767300 3. Save the le: File> Save 4. Close the model.cfg le. 5. Repeat the procedure for each model.xx le.
ON Path (within speed limits and altitude limits) Pitch mode = VNAV PTH A/T mode = throttle decreases to IDLE, then sets HOLD Idle descent phase: Speed limits +/- 15 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo-11 knots or down to speed protection; Past idle phase: Speed limits +/- 10 knots, up to Mmo/Vmo-11 knots or down to speed protection. Overspeed reverts to: Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = IDLE to HOLD Aircraft pitches to VNAV speed and DRAG REQUIRED message displays. Underspeed reverts to: Pitch mode = VNAV PATH A/T mode = SPD Aircraft throttles increase to maintain min speed and THRUST REQUIRED message displays if A/T is disengaged. Above path (speed window closed): Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = IDLE to Hold Aircraft pitches to VNAV speed + 15 (limited by Mmo/Vmo-11 knots) & DRAG REQUIRED message displays. Below path (speed window closed): Pitch mode = VNAV SPD A/T mode = SPD Aircraft pitches to -1250fpm & thrust increases to maintain VNAV speed. NOTE Above path / below path = more than +/- 500 ft
ALSO NOTE: See the Conguration Manager page for revised information about how to load cargo into the cargo holds. ;)
