Introduction 6

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.

Using this Manual


With FSX and the SP1 update, the Microsoft Flight Simulator ACES team have made some signicant changes to
the platform and have added many new features. Some of these changes have required modications to the 767. The
most noticeable differences to the Level-D 767 are evident with the VNAV descent modelling (described in the FMC
section of this document), menu system (introductory chapter), and conguration settings. But, there are also some
subtle changes to the 767 and systems that may not be immediately apparent (see the Addendum for details). This
revised and updated version of the manual utilizes black and white line-art images rather than screen captures. Some
color images have been included for reference purposes. Though much of the manual is unchanged, some sections
have been expanded and new features introduced (individual EICAS messages for each system are now included in
the system chapter).
The following chapters explain each aircraft system in detail. The chapters are arranged in alphabetical order for
easy reference via the Table of Contents. This is not the recommended order of study. To properly prepare for ying
the 767, the following chapters are recommended for initial study:
Introduction
Aircraft Operating Tutorial
Automatic Flight Director System (AFDS)
Flight Instruments
Flight Management Computer (FMC)
Inertial Reference System (IRS)
Radios and Communications
Normal Procedures

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.

Cockpit Panels (2D)


The aircraft may initially load with the 2D cockpit presented. With the FSX version, the Virtual Cockpit may load rst.
The 767 simulation is a multi-panel environment where different views are attained by switching the visible panels on
and off. These views can be controlled via the MSFS menu, control buttons on the main panel, or by using keyboard
keystroke combinations. The following panel views are available...

Virtual Panel (3D)


The virtual cockpit display is a three-dimensional rendering of the the 767 ight deck. Virtual Cockpit preferences are
set from the FSX Options> Settings> Display menu. The 3D panel can be set as the default view from the FSX menu.
All controls found on the main (2D) panels are available within the virtual cockpit. Any switch actuated in the virtual
cockpit is also actuated on the 2D panels, and vice-versa.
The FMC cannot be controlled from the FMC displays within the virtual cockpit. To operate the FMC, the normal 2D
window must be displayed. Mouse clicking on the FMC within the virtual cockpit causes the 2D FMC CDU to display
in a separate window. This window may also be displayed using the <SHIFT><7> keyboard combination. Changes to
the FMC are made from within the windowed FMC CDU while operating in the virtual cockpit.

Situation Files
When our real world Captain and First Ofcer arrive at the ight deck, they are usually greeted with an aircraft that
is powered and ready for ight. But, what if you want to start the aircraft from a cold and dark panel state? Or, youd
like to have just the aircraft powered and IRS aligned? If youre interested in starting your workday as you choose,
we have included some start-up ight deck congurations that can be imported to any location your 767 is parked at.
You can also setup and save your own situation le. Once that le is saved, you can then quickly import the panel
settings for every departure location. Its a simple and efcient way to start a ight. This page describes how to save a
le for future use.

Airplane, General
This chapter describes miscellaneous airplane systems, including lighting systems and passenger cabin signs.

Aircraft Lighting

Passenger Cabin Signs

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.

The passenger cabin signs are controlled by overhead


panel selectors. All passenger signs can be controlled by
positioning the respective selector to ON, AUTO or OFF.
When the FASTEN SEAT BELTS and NO SMOKING
selectors are in the OFF position, and the cabin altitude
exceeds 10,000 feet, the FASTEN SEAT BELTS and NO
SMOKING signs illuminate.

Flight Deck Lighting


Flight deck lighting is provided for panel illumination,
area lighting, and localized illumination. Flood lights and
light plates provide panel illumination. Panel and ood
lights illuminate the forward panels, and glareshield.
When the light override switch is ON, the forward panel
ood lights, glareshield ood lights and all illuminated
annunciator lights illuminate at full brightness.

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.

Aircraft and Panel Lighting Controls


Control for aircraft lighting is provided on the visible overhead panel of the 2D cockpit and on the overhead
panel in the 3D cockpit. The controls are the same in both environments. Two of the switches control interior panel
lighting while the rest of the switches control exterior aircraft lights. An exciting feature of the Level-D 767 is the
implementation of individual exterior light controls.

Air, Pneumatic System 29

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Air, Pneumatic System

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.

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.

External Air Source


External air is available for hook up to the pneumatic
system via the Level-D Ground Requests menu (or
Overhead Cabin Call Panel). There are no cockpit controls
for the use of external air. An indication of duct pressure

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

Air, Pneumatic System 30

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Air Conditioning System


Two air conditioning packs provide temperature
conditioned air for the cabin and for pressurization. The
air conditioning packs operate using bleed air from the
respective pneumatic system. Control for the packs is
provided by a rotary selector switch that has OFF, AUTO,
N, C and W positions. Normally, the packs are run in
the AUTO mode when air is available in the pneumatic
system. The packs are turned OFF for engine starting or
when air conditioning is not desired on the ground.
Setting the pack selector to AUTO opens the pack valve
when bleed air is available and provides for automatic
temperature control of pack air outlet temperature. The
PACK OFF light illuminates if the pack is switched OFF
or there is no bleed air available.The cabin temperature
controllers regulate the pack output air temperature to
satisfy the temperature requirement of the compartment
requiring the coolest air (dependent on current zone
temperatures and zone temperature settings). The trim
air system provides warm air if required to adjust the air
temperature demands of the other compartments.
Setting the pack selector to N, C or W opens the pack
valve to produce a constant pack outlet temperature.
These modes are generally used if the AUTO mode
fails. The N mode regulates pack outlet temperature to a
constant moderate temperature (approximately 75F/24C).
The C mode sets the pack to full cold (approximately
65F/19C). The W mode sets the pack to full warm
(approximately 85F/29C).
The Trim Air switch permits the temperature of air ow
from the packs to be automatically regulated by the cabin
temperature control knobs. If the Trim Air switch is OFF,
cabin air is regulated based only on the pack selector
setting. The cabin is regulated to 75F/24C if the TRIM AIR
switch is OFF and the pack selectors are in AUTO. The
Trim Air switch is normally left in the ON position.
The temperature of the air reaching the cabin is
controlled to within 65F to 85F by the cabin temperature
controllers. Anytime the Trim Air switch is OFF, the cabin
temperature controllers are inoperative.
Recirculation fans in the air conditioning system
recirculate cabin air into the system. Separate
recirculation fans provide air circulation for equipment
cooling. The use of recirculated air reduces bleed
demands on the engines. Power for the recirculation fans
is provided by the Utility Buses. The recirculation fans are
normally left ON at all times.

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.

Passenger Oxygen System


The passenger oxygen system is supplied by individual
chemical oxygen generators. The oxygen system
provides oxygen to the passenger, attendant stations,
and lavatory service units. The passenger oxygen masks
and chemical oxygen generators are located above the
passenger seats in passenger service units (PSUs).
Oxygen ows from a PSU generator when any mask
hanging from that PSU is pulled. The masks automatically
drop from the PSUs if cabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet.
The passenger masks can be manually deployed from
the ight deck by pushing the passenger oxygen switch.
The passenger oxygen ON light illuminates and EICAS
advisory message PASS OXYGEN ON displays when the
system is activated.

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.

Flight Control Computers (FCC)

Autopilot (CMD)

Three Flight Control Computers are installed and


are identied as Left, Center and Right FCC. These
computers provide the source information for the autopilot
and the ight director. Only one FCC is used in normal
operations. Two or three FCCs are used when an
Autoland is performed. The FCCs require Main AC bus
power for operation.
The only pilot control over the FCCs is via the Instrument
Source Selector switch on the main panel. The FCC
providing ight director commands to the pilot may be
changed using this switch. This switch is normally set to
the on-side FCC (i.e. Left for the Captains instruments).

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

AFDS Lateral Modes


Aircraft heading is controlled by the following modes:
Heading Hold (HDG HOLD), Heading Select (HDG SEL),
Lateral Navigation (LNAV), Localizer approach (LOC),
Backcourse approach (BCRS) and ILS approach (APP).
A bank limiting system is used to control the maximum
bank angle during AFDS commanded heading changes.
Once a lateral mode is engaged, it can only be cancelled
by selecting another lateral mode or by turning off the
autopilot and F/D. Some lateral modes have armed
conditions which can be cancelled by pressing the
respective mode button a second time.
The Heading Hold (HDG HOLD) mode is selected
by pressing the HOLD button directly below the
heading selector (SEL) knob on the MCP. HDG HOLD
is annunciated in green on the EADI when engaged. If
selected in level ight, the aircraft maintains the current
heading. If selected during a turn, the aircraft rolls out to
the current heading. This mode is selected automatically if
an autopilot is engaged with no other AFDS mode active.
The Heading Select (HDG SEL) mode is selected by
pressing on the SEL knob below the heading window
on the MCP. HDG SEL is annunciated in green on the
EADI when engaged. When selected, the aircraft is
commanded to y toward the heading displayed in the
heading window. This heading is set by rotating the SEL
knob. The aircraft will continue to y toward any heading
selected in the heading window while in HDG SEL mode.
Use of the Lateral Navigation (LNAV) mode is
dependant on FMC route programming (discussed in the
FMC section of this manual) and is selected by pressing
the LNAV button on the MCP. LNAV is annunciated on
the EADI in white when armed and green when engaged.
The armed mode occurs when LNAV is selected and
the aircraft is not on the FMC programmed route. When
armed, the AFDS remains in the current lateral mode
until LNAV is engaged. The engaged mode occurs when
the aircraft encounters and/or is following the FMC
programmed route. When LNAV is engaged, aircraft
heading is automatically controlled to follow the FMC
programmed route.
The Localizer approach mode is selected by pressing
the LOC button on the MCP. LOC is annunciated on the
EADI in white when armed and green when engaged. The
armed mode occurs when LOC is selected and the aircraft
is not within localizer range. When armed, the AFDS
remains in the current lateral mode until LOC is engaged.
The engaged mode occurs when the aircraft is actively
tracking the localizer. When LOC is engaged, aircraft
heading is automatically controlled to follow the localizer.
The ILS approach mode (APP) is selected by pressing
the APP button on the MCP. This mode uses the LOC mode
to track the localizer in conjunction with vertical guidance
from the glideslope mode (GS) to track the glideslope.

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.

AFDS Vertical Modes


Aircraft pitch is controlled by the following modes: Flight
Level Change (FL CH), Vertical Navigation (VNAV),
Vertical Speed (VERT SPD), and ILS approach (APP).
In general, these modes cause the aircraft to climb or
descend until reaching a target altitude set in the altitude
window on the MCP. A vertical mode remains active until
one of the following occurs: The altitude set in the MCP
ALT window is reached (with the exception of some VNAV
modes), another vertical mode is selected, or the autopilot
and F/D are turned off.
The Flight Level Change mode (FL CH) is selected
by pressing the FL CH button on the MCP. FL CH
is annunciated in green on the EADI and the A/T is
automatically engaged if armed. Additionally, the current
aircraft speed is reset in the IAS/MACH window of the
MCP and the TRP changes to a CLB mode. When
selected, the AFDS and the autothrottle command pitch
and power settings to y the aircraft toward the altitude
selected in the MCP ALT window at the selected speed.
Changing the IAS/MACH speed on the MCP causes
the AFDS to change the commanded pitch angle to
maintain the selected speed. If a climb is required, the
A/T sets power to the maximum available (based on
TRP selection) and the AFDS pitches up to maintain the
selected airspeed. If a descent is required, the A/T sets
the power to IDLE and enters a throttle hold (THR HOLD)
mode while the AFDS pitches down to maintain the selected
airspeed. The throttle hold mode disconnects the autothrottle
from the power levers which allows the pilot to manually
control thrust during the descent.
The Vertical Navigation mode (VNAV) is dependant
on FMC programming (see FMC section) and is selected
by pressing the VNAV button on the MCP. VNAV SPD or
VNAV PTH is annunciated in green on the EADI and the
A/T is automatically engaged if armed. Additionally, the
TRP automatically changes to a mode appropriate for the
phase of ight. If VNAV is selected after takeoff, the TRP
changes to a CLB mode and the AFDS commands for a
climb toward the FMC programmed altitude or the altitude
in the MCP ALT window, whichever is lower. The speed

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.

Autoight System 37

Automatic Landing (Autoland)

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

Electrical & APU Systems


Electrical power is available from four sources: aircraft battery, auxiliary power unit (APU), external power, and two
engine-driven generators. AC and DC electrical buses distribute power to various aircraft systems. Power distribution
is handled automatically via a bus tie system based on a priority order. Pilot interaction is normally limited to selection
of the APU and external power on the ground.

Battery Power

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

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:

The APU is a gas turbine engine located in the tail


section of the aircraft. The APU can be used on the
ground or in ight to provide electrical and pneumatic
power. The APU can satisfy the demand of all electrical
systems. The APU is normally used when the aircraft is at
the gate and for starting the engines.
Control of the APU is provided by a rotary selector
switch near the bottom of the electrical panel. Electrical
power distribution from the APU is controlled by the APU
generator breaker near the top of the electrical panel. The
APU GEN switch is left IN for all normal operations. With
the APU GEN switch pushed in, distribution of power is
automatically controlled.
To start the APU, the aircraft battery switch must remain
ON at all times. Fuel is provided automatically from the
Left FWD Fuel Pump. Moving the spring loaded APU
selector to START initiates the start sequence. The APU
FAULT light illuminates briey during the start as the APU
fuel valve is opened. The APU RUN light ashes twice to
indicate a test of the system has been performed. When
the APU is on speed and ready to generate power, the
RUN light illuminates and remains steady. The APU start
cycle takes 60 seconds.
APU shutdown is accomplished by placing the selector
switch to OFF. The APU FAULT light ashes momentarily
during shutdown as the APU fuel valve is closed. The
RUN light extinguishes when the APU is shut down. If
APU bleed air was in use prior to shutdown, the APU
runs for an additional one minute cool down period. Even
though the APU switch is OFF, the APU continues to RUN
during this period. It is possible to cancel the shutdown
sequence during the cool down period by momentarily
placing the start switch to START. This cancels the
shutdown signal and the APU continues to RUN.

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
Electrical System 43

Electrical System 44

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.

Engine Generators

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:

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:

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.

1. On side engine-driven generator.


2. APU generator.
3. Opposite side engine-driven generator.

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.

Engines & Engine Indicating (EICAS) 48

Engines and Engine Indicating (EICAS)


The Level-D Simulations 767-300 is powered by two General Electric CF6-80C2 engines rated at 61,500 pounds
of thrust per engine. Engine controls include the throttles, fuel cut-off switches, EEC switches, re handles, and the
Thrust Rating Panel (TRP). An autothrottle system is available and can provide automatic power control for all phases
of ight. The FMC contains performance information for the engines and co-ordinates with the autothrottle and TRP to
control engine power for de-rated takeoffs as well as VNAV climb, cruise and descent.

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 Electronic Control (EEC)

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.

Standby Engine Display


If both EICAS screens fail, important engine data is still
available on the standby engine gauge. Located to the left
of the EICAS screens, this gauge displays N1, EGT and
N2 data for each engine. A two-position switch controls the
display of engine data. In the AUTO position the display
is blank when both EICAS screens are operating. If both
EICAS screens fail, engine data is automatically displayed.
In the ON position engine data is displayed at all times.

The EEC switches on the overhead control the

Engines & Engine Indicating (EICAS) 48

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Thrust Management (TMC)


A Thrust Management Computer (TMC), provides
guidance for the necessary power settings required
during each phase of ight. The Thrust Rating Panel
(TRP) (aka Thrust Mode Select Panel (TMSP)) located
above the gear handle is the main interface for pilot
control of this computer. Power setting information from
this system is displayed on the upper EICAS via the N1
gauge using a green index pointer & a digital display. The
settings displayed are reference only & do not limit engine
power available to the pilot. The maximum power setting
available is always the EEC limit indicated by the amber
line on the N1 gauge. When the autothrottle is in use, the
TRP power reference is the maximum power available for
use by the autothrottle in the engaged mode.
The TRP has the following modes: TO, D-TO, CLB,
CLB1, CLB2, CRZ, CON, & GA. Each mode can be
selected using the TRP buttons (except D-TO which is
selected via the FMC). TO & D-TO are takeoff power
modes. CLB, CLB1 & CLB2 are climb power modes. CRZ
is the cruise power mode. CON is the continuous power
mode. GA is the go-around power mode.
Takeoff power modes are as follows: Takeoff power
(TO) & de-rated takeoff power (D-TO). In the TO mode,
the computer calculates the maximum takeoff power for
the current outside air temperature. In the D-TO mode,
a temperature higher than current airport temperature
(called the assumed temperature) is used to calculate the
reduced thrust setting. This temperature is entered into

Engines & Engine Indicating (EICAS) 49

the FMC Takeoff Reference Page which is translated into


a power setting indicated on the EICAS. The assumed
temperature is calculated primarily on the basis of aircraft
takeoff weight for a given airport runway. Higher assumed
temperatures translate into lower power settings & viceversa. 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 & Indicators 57

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Primary Flight Controls


The elevators, ailerons and rudder are controlled via the
yoke, keyboard or the autopilot. The movement of ight
control surfaces can be monitored on the lower EICAS
STATUS page. These control surfaces have an absolute
requirement for hydraulic power to function. They receive
hydraulic power from all three hydraulic systems in a
combination to provide redundancy in case of partial
hydraulic system failure.
If hydraulic power is completely lost due to a dual
engine ameout, a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) in the center
hydraulic system is automatically deployed. The RAT
provides sufcient hydraulic power in the center system
for movement of all primary ight controls. The RAT can
be deployed manually via an overhead panel switch if
required. A minimum airspeed of 130 knots is required for
the RAT to function properly.
The ailerons have an inboard and an outboard control
surface on each wing. The outboard ailerons are locked
out as speed increases. This limits the twisting moment
on the wings at higher airspeeds. The inboard ailerons
droop when the trailing edge aps are deployed. This permits
greater aileron control and lift during ap deployment. Aileron
droop can be observed on the ight control display on the
STATUS page.
The distribution of hydraulic power to the primary ight
controls is such that one hydraulic system is capable of
providing partial control to the essential control surfaces.
The elevators and rudder receive hydraulic power from all
three hydraulic systems. The ailerons receive hydraulic
power as follows:

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

Flight Controls & Indicators 57

Flight Controls & Indicators 58

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

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.

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.

Aileron and Rudder Trim


The aileron and rudder trim controls can be found on the
pedestal. These controls are used to zero out undesired
control forces in the ailerons & rudder.

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 Control Surfaces


Pitch control is provided by:
two elevators
a movable horizontal stabilizer
Roll control is provided by:
four ailerons
twelve spoilers
Yaw control is provided by a single rudder.
Flaps and slats provide high lift for takeoff, approach, and landing.
Symmetric spoilers are used as speedbrakes

Flight Instruments 62

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.

Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS)


This systems consists of three symbol generators, two
control panels, the EADI, and the EHSI. The EADI and
EHSI display information derived from the IRUs and
the FMC. The IRUs provide attitude, heading and track
information while the FMC provides the MAP displays and
route data. If the primary data source for either instrument
should fail, alternate sources of data can be selected via
the Instrument Source Selector Panel (ISS).
The symbol generators process and display the
information received from all data sources on the EADI
and EHSI. Normally, the left symbol generator drives the
left CRT displays and the right symbol generator drives
the right CRT displays. The center symbol generator is
available as a backup via the ISS in case of component
failure. A blanking of both CRTs on one side of the cockpit
with a normal electrical system may be an indication of a
symbol generator failure. Using the EFI button on the ISS
may restore the displays using the center SG.

The information displayed on the EHSI is dependant


on alignment of the IRUs. Heading and track data are
not available when the IRUs are not aligned. When the
IRUs are aligned in the NAV mode, heading and track
data appear along with FMC route data (if programmed).

Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI)


The EADI is the top screen in the instrument panel
cluster. The EADI displays the following information:
Attitude indicator, Flight Director, Localizer, Glideslope,
and AFDS mode annunciations. It also contains other
data such as ground speed, radio altitude, and a decision
height display. The left EADI is powered by the Left Main
AC bus and the right EADI is powered by the Right Main
AC bus.
The information displayed on the EADI is dependant on
alignment of the IRUs. Attitude data on the EADI is not
displayed when the IRUs are not aligned. When the IRUs
are aligned in the NAV mode, the attitude display appears
along with the Flight Director (if selected ON). Normally,
each EADI receives data from the on-side IRU (i.e. Left
from left). In case of on-side IRU failure, the center IRU
may be selected to provide data to the EADI by pressing
the IRS button on the ISS of the affected side.

Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)


The EHSI is the bottom screen in the instrument cluster.
The EHSI has selectable modes for the display of the
following information: FMC Route Map, FMC Route Plan,
ILS compass, and VOR compass displays. These modes
are selected using the EHSI mode control panel. The left
EHSI is powered by the Left Main AC bus and the right
EHSI is powered by the Right Main AC Bus.

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.

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Standard Flight Instruments


The remaining instruments surrounding the EFIS displays
are all electrically powered. They receive information from
the Air Data Computers (ADC), the IRUs, and the AFDS.
The Captains instruments are powered by the Left Main AC
bus and the First Ofcers instruments are powered by the
Right Main AC bus. If a gauge is not powered or has failed,
a warning ag appears within the gauge.
There are two Air Data Computers (left and right) that
normally provide information for the on-side instruments.
If an ADC has failed or the data becomes unreliable, the
opposite side ADC may be selected to provide data to the
ight instruments by pressing the AIR DATA button on the
ISS of the affected side. For those instruments that rely
on IRU data, the center IRU acts as a backup for these
instruments via selection of the IRS button on the ISS.

A group of standby ight instruments are available as


a backup to the primary ight instruments. The standby
airspeed and altimeter receive data from the pitot static
system and work without electrical power. The standby
attitude indicator is battery powered and works anytime
the battery switch is ON. The standby attitude indicator
has built in ILS pointers. The standby ILS uses the same
frequency that is dialed into the ILS receiver on the
pedestal. The ILS pointers are displayed when the ILS
knob on the standby attitude gauge is set to ILS.
Due to the constraints of design and room on the
2D panel, the standby instruments are normally hidden
from view on a sub panel. To display the standby ight
instruments, use the key combination <SHIFT><9> to
overlay the sub panel onto the main panel.

Flight Management System (FMS)


The Flight Management System allows the pilot to manage the aircrafts vertical and lateral paths automatically. It also
provides a resource for aircraft performance data related to aircraft speed, altitude, fuel consumption, and power settings.
The FMS subsystems include: Two Flight Management Computers (FMC), a Control Display Unit (CDU), the
AFDS MCP, and the EHSI. The FMCs provide for aircraft position calculation, performance management, and three
dimensional navigation based on data input and information received from supporting systems. The CDU is the main
pilot interface to access and control information in the FMC. The AFDS MCP permits selection of LNAV and VNAV and
performs the operations commanded by the FMC. The EHSI displays a map of information generated by the FMC.

Control Display Unit (CDU)


The CDU is the main pilot interface for control of the Flight Management Computer. The CDU is often times referred
to as the FMC since the FMC is not a visible component of the ight deck. Therefore, references to FMC data input
in this text refer specically to the use of the CDU. Due to main panel space constraints, the CDU is located on a sub
panel which can be displayed by pressing the FMC button on the main panel or by using the keyboard combination
<SHIFT><7>. When operating in the virtual cockpit, clicking on the CDU brings up the 2D FMC sub-panel.

Data Entry Keys

The CDU consists of a CRT screen, line select keys (LSK), function keys, and data entry keys. The LSKs along
the sides of the CDU line up with data lines on the CRT and are used to select and input data on the screen. The
function keys are used to cycle through the pages of data contained in the FMC. The data entry keys are used to input
data onto the scratch pad at the bottom of the CRT screen. Selection of an LSK when data exists in the scratchpad
transfers the data into the data line abeam the LSK. To clear all data entered into the scratchpad, press and hold the
CLR button. Individual presses of the CLR button clears single characters from the scratchpad.

CDU Display & Controls


The display of FMC data on the CDU screen follows the following conventions. Data shown in large type abeam an
LSK is data that has been entered by the pilot or selected from the FMC database. Data shown in small type abeam
an LSK is prediction data calculated by the FMC.
All data pages in the FMC are structured similarly to the page shown on the left. Data is structured vertically in left
and right columns and line up with LSKs on both sides of the CDU. The data page on the right side is the LEGS page
and is used most often in normal operations. Its data is structures horizontally such that waypoint information is shown
across an entire line of data. The LEGS page is explained in greater detail in later sections and is presented here as
an overview of CDU display conventions only.

5. Waypoint Name and Course The names of waypoints are displayed in large type since they are manually entered
by the pilot or called up from the FMC database. The predicted magnetic track to each waypoint is displayed in
small type. An exception is when a heading or specic track is commanded by a procedure selected from the FMC
database. The example above shows a commanded heading (HDG) of 315 as part of a selected procedure.
6. Waypoint Distance Distances between waypoints are displayed in small type.
7. Manually Entered Data Data that has been manually entered by the pilot is displayed in large type.
8. Predicted Data Data calculated by the FMC is shown in small type.
9. Page Prompts At the bottom of each screen at the 6L and 6R positions are page prompts. Pressing the
corresponding LSK takes calls up a different page of data or performs the function specied.

Keyboard Assist Mode


In order to facilitate FMC data entry, a keyboard assist (KA) mode is available by pressing
on an invisible mouse area on the CDU CRT next to the 1L LSK. KA is displayed in the
upper left corner of the CRT when the keyboard assist mode is turned on. In KA mode,
all computer keyboard entries are sent to the CDU scratchpad. This mode is helpful for
entering multiple waypoints contained in a long ight plan.
To exit the KA mode, simply press the KA mouse click area a second time, or close the
FMC window. Attempting to control the simulator using keyboard shortcuts is not possible
if the FMC is left in the KA mode. Therefore, if the simulator is not responding to keyboard
controls, check to ensure the FMC is no longer in the KA mode.

POS, REF AIRPORT, GATE, or a manual entry to initialize the IRS. If an entry is not made before the IRS completes the
initial alignment, the scratchpad message ENTER IRS POSITION is displayed. If the manually entered position fails the
IRS internal check, the scratchpad message ENTER IRS POSITION is displayed. The manually entered position is also
co
scratchpad message IRS POS/ORIGIN DISAGREE is displayed.

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.

Position Reference Pages (POS REF)


From the POS INIT page, two other pages of data are available by pressing the NEXT or PREV PAGE function
keys. The position reference (POS REF) pages display the current positions of the FMC and the IRUs.
The FMC position is normally determined using the weighted average of the three IRU positions. If an IRU fails, the
FMC reverts to using the on-side IRU for position determination. If the on-side IRU is not available, the FMC uses the
center IRU for position determination.
The IRU position is updated using VOR DME information when available during ight. If a radio update is not
available, the FMC position is the same as the IRU position. If the FMC position has not been radio updated within
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.

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.

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. Runway/Position (RWY/POS) Displays the runway entered in the ROUTE page on which takeoff data is based.
The optional /POS line is for planned autothrottle engagement in feet from the runway threshold. To enter a value,
type /XXXX (XXXX = distance) and press the 4L LSK. This value is used by the FMC for a position update when
the autothrottle is engaged during the takeoff roll.
5. Takeoff Reference Speeds (V1, VR, V2) Takeoff Vref speeds are displayed here. They may be entered manually
or automatically. Speeds are automatically entered when a ap setting has been entered. Speeds update anytime
performance data or takeoff data elds are changed.
6. Takeoff Gross Weight (TOGW) Accepts a manually entered value that has no bearing on FMC data.

Route Page (RTE)


The ightplan to be used by the FMC is entered on the route page. A route is made up of connected waypoints
that the FMC can navigate toward. The connection of these waypoints creates the ight path to be followed when
engaging the AFDS in the LNAV mode.
The Route page is displayed by pressing the RTE function key. The FMC is capable of storing two routes: RTE
1 and RTE2. Only one route can be activated at a time while the inactive route remains stored in memory. When
working with an inactive route, the waypoints are drawn on the EHSI and connected with a blue dashed line. The
waypoints in the active route are drawn full time on the EHSI and connected with a magenta line. The active route is
used when navigating in LNAV mode.
The page title at the top of the screen indicates which route is displayed. The following page titles are possible: (X=1 or 2)
RTE X
ACT RTE X
MOD RTE X

The route displayed is an inactive route. The ACTIVATE> prompt is shown at the 6R LSK. The route is drawn
on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
The route displayed is the active route. The route is drawn on the EHSI with a solid magenta line.
The route displayed is active, but has a modication to it that needs to be executed before the changes
become active. The modied portion of the route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.

The second page of Route page is accessed by pressing the NEXT PAGE function key. The entry of waypoints and
airways is made from this page. When the page is full of waypoints, a new RTE page is created for continued route
programming. Access RTE pages via the NEXT & PREV PAGE function keys.
When working with an inactive route, changes made on the RTE pages do not require execution. When working with
an active route, any changes made on the RTE pages require execution with the EXEC key before becoming active.

4. ERASE Prompt Erases most recently entered data.
5. Altitude (ALT) Entry of any valid altitude or ight level into this line recalculates the ETA and arrival fuel. Altitude
entries do not become part of the diversion modication. Altitude entries apply to all four alternates.
6. Speed (SPD) Entry of speed or Mach number into this line causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. Speed
entries do not become part of the diversion modication. Speed entries apply to all four alternates.
Speed modes available are:
ECON (economy)
LRC (long range cruise)
any CAS or Mach.

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.

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.

An offset may be removed by:

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. Guidance and Information Material Concerning Air Navigation in the North Atlantic Region (NAT Doc. 001)

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.

RTE X LEGS
ACT RTE X LEGS
MOD RTE X LEGS

The route displayed has not been activated. An ACTIVATE> prompt is shown at the 6R LSK. The
route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
The route displayed is the active route. The route is drawn on the EHSI with a solid magenta line.
The route displayed is active, but has a modication to it that needs to be executed before the changes
become active. The modied portion of the route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.

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

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

LEGS Page Waypoint Management (LNAV)


Waypoint modications made on the LEGS page allow LNAV to properly track the intended route of ight. Waypoints
can be added and deleted from the LEGS page as changes to the ight plan are made. Additionally, the active waypoint
can be changed to permit specic inbound and outbound course intercepts. Discontinuities in the route can also be
connected from the LEGS page when working with pre-programmed departure, arrival and approach procedures.
If the aircraft is within 2.5 miles of the active route, LNAV mode will engage and track the route when selected on the
MCP. If the aircraft is not in a position to join the active route, the active waypoint must be modied on the LEGS page
for LNAV to navigate toward it. This is done one of two ways: Direct to a waypoint, or HDG SEL to intercept a course
toward a waypoint.
The following examples discuss the methods used to make LEGS page modications. The methods used to engage
LNAV to follow a route are also discussed and demonstrated. The term line select in these explanations refers to
pressing the LSK abeam a waypoint.

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.

Flight Management System 92

Flight Management System 93

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Direct To... ETX

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.

Clearing a Route Discontinuity


To clear a route discontinuity, line select a waypoint from below the discontinuity and line select it to the discontinuity boxes.

Close Discontinuity
ETX to RAV

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.

Abeam Points (ABEAM PTS)


Many clearances result in the elimination of waypoints from the LEGS page. It is benecial for situational awareness
to know when the aircraft is abeam these eliminated waypoints when navigating on long direct route clearances.
Anytime a route modication is made, an ABEAM PTS> prompt is presented at the 4R LSK. Pressing the 4R LSK
arms the abeam points feature. When the route modications are executed, the FMC creates abeam points on the
new route to indicate where the bypassed waypoints would have been. The abeam points created are perpendicular
to the bypassed waypoints.
Consider the following example. The LEGS page from
Direct to... EWC
the previous example is still in use. The new clearance is to
y direct to the EWC waypoint. Press the 5L LSK to put EWC
in the scratchpad. Pressing the 1L LSK to go direct to EWC
causes the ABEAM PTS> prompt to display at the 4R LSK.
Press the 4R LSK to select the abeam points feature. Press
EXEC to make the modications active.
Notice that when the ABEAM PTS> prompt is pressed, the
word SELECTED appears. This indicates that abeam points
will be created upon executing the modications.

Direct to... EWC with ABEAM points


Note that the FMC has created custom named waypoints for
each waypoint bypassed (ETX01, RAV01, VAL01, BUR01) by
the direct to EWC modication.

Route Copy (RTE COPY)


Anytime a modication is made on the legs page, the RTE COPY> prompt
is presented at the 5R LSK. Pressing the 5R LSK prior to executing the
modication places a copy of the currently active route into the inactive route
page. The contents of the inactive route page are automatically updated with
the current route waypoints.
The use of the Route Copy feature is helpful when making major changes
to the currently active route. If the previous route needs to be restored after
executing the route modications, switch to the inactive route page and reactivate the previous route.
Consider the following example. The LEGS page from the previous
example is still in use. The EWC waypoint has been line selected to the 1L
position. Press the 5R LSK to place a copy of the currently active route into
the RTE 2 pages. Press EXEC to make the changes and then press the 6L
LSK to switch to the RTE 2 LEGS display.
Notice how the RTE COPY> prompt changes to COMPLETE when the
5R LSK is pressed. This indicates that the route copy has been successful.
Switching to the RTE 2 LEGS page after executing the changes reveals that
the previously active route is now stored in RTE 2.

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.

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

EXEC & engage LNAV mode

Flight Management System 95

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


Along track waypoints are distance xes measured to or from a waypoint along the active route. For example,
suppose Air Trafc Control requests that you report crossing 75 miles west of the PDZ VOR. By adding an along
track waypoint to our route that is exactly 75 miles west of the PDZ we can have the EHSI provide us with a
reference point to notify ATC.
From the LEGS page, press the LSK next to the PDZ to transfer it into the scratchpad. Then using the FMC
keyboard type in /-75 (backslash minus 75) so that the scratchpad contains PDZ/-75. Then press the same LSK to
enter the along track waypoint into the route. You may also manually enter PDZ into the scratchpad.
It is important that the scratchpad entry used to create the along track waypoint (PDZ/-75) be placed on top of the
waypoint to which it is referenced (PDZ). The PDZ/-75 entry tells the FMC to create a waypoint that is 75 miles prior
to PDZ. The FMC will add PDZ01 into the route as the active waypoint. This represents a point 75 miles prior to the
PDZ VOR that is along the present FMC track.
If ATC requests that you report 25 miles east of the PDZ VOR, you will need to add an along track waypoint that
occurs after the waypoint in question. Follow the same procedure as described above.
Flight Management System 95

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Flight Management System 96

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).

Route Data Page (RTE DATA)


The route data page displays progress data for individual waypoints in the active route. The page is accessed by
pressing the RTE DATA> prompt at the 6R LSK of the LEGS page.

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.

FIX Page (FIX)


The FIX page allows for the lookup and display of any
waypoint, navaid, or airport in the FMC database. It is most
1
often used to display a waypoint that is not on the active
route. The entered waypoint is displayed on the EHSI and
the x distance and relative bearing to the aircrafts current
3
position is displayed on the x page. The x page can also
2
be used to enter abeam waypoints into the active route.

There are two x pages available for the entry of two
different xes for display. If no x is entered into the page,
the 1L position displays box prompts for the entry of data.
Enter the x name into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK to enter it into the x page. The example above shows
the FJC navaid 1 entered into the FIX page 2 .
1. Fix Entry Box Enter a waypoint, navaid, or airport name into the scratchpad and line select it to the 1L position.
2. Fix EHSI Display Fixes entered in the x page are displayed on the EHSI with a green circle around the x symbol.
3. Bearing/Distance Enter radials or distances from the x to be shown on the EHSI. The format is XXX/xx where
XXX is a radial and xx is a DME. If a distance is desired, enter /xx and press the LSK abeam an empty data box.
Examples of bearing and distance entries for the FJC x are shown below...
The 060 entry draws the 060 radial from the FJC x. The /25 entry draws a dashed circle that represents 25 miles
from the FJC x. This example shows these entries on two separate lines, but they could have been entered onto one
line as 060/25. Up to three radials and three distances can be entered for each x.

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.

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.

Vertical Navigation (VNAV)


Climb, cruise and descent can be automatically handled through the use of VNAV in the FMC and the VNAV function
of the AFDS. Data entered into the PERF INIT pages is used by the FMC to calculate the vertical performance of
the aircraft. The climb and cruise prediction data found on the LEGS pages is derived from this information. When
waypoint descent constraints are programmed into the LEGS pages for an arrival or approach, the FMC calculates a
descent path and generates descent predictions on the LEGS page as well.
Pressing the VNAV function key on the CDU calls up the active VNAV page. Three VNAV pages are available for
the climb, cruise and descent segments. The active page is determined by the phase of ight. Prior to the top-of-climb
(T/C), pressing the VNAV key displays the VNAV CLB page. Between the T/C and the top-of-descent (T/D), pressing
the VNAV key displays the VNAV CRZ page. And after the T/D is reached, pressing the VNAV key displays the VNAV
DES page. All pages are available for viewing at any time by using the NEXT and PREV PAGE function keys.
When VNAV is the active AFDS mode, the EADI annunciates either VNAV SPD or VNAV PTH. The VNAV SPD
mode indicates that aircraft airspeed is being maintained through aircraft pitch. This mode is engaged in a VNAV climb
or a VNAV descent (in speed intervention mode). The VNAV PTH mode indicates that the aircraft airspeed is being
maintained using thrust. This mode is engaged during all VNAV level offs and during a VNAV path descent.

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

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

by manually entering a new airspeed on the descent

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

For VNAV to function, a CRZ ALT is required. All other data
boxes are either optional or display default FMC data.
1. Cruise Altitude The cruise altitude entered on the PERF INIT page is displayed here. To change the target 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.
2. Speed Display Displays the current target climb airspeed/Mach. ECON SPD is displayed when economy speed is
in use. SEL SPD is displayed when a speed is manually entered. To change the current climb speed, type an IAS
or MACH speed into the scratchpad and press the 2L LSK. If the entry of both speeds is desired, the format is xxx/.
XXX, where xxx is IAS and .XXX is MACH. The FMC commanded airspeed is IAS until the MACH value is reached.
To restore ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 2L LSK.
If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to MCP SPD CLB. In this mode, airspeed is controlled
via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV CLB page.
3. Speed Transition Displays the FMC transition airspeed and altitude. The FMC target climb airspeed is limited
to the value displayed until reaching the altitude displayed. The airspeed limit is removed as the aircraft climbs
through the altitude displayed. The default value is 250 knots until reaching 10,000 feet. This entry may be
changed or deleted manually. To change the entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) into the
scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. To delete the entry, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 3L LSK.
4. Speed Restriction This is an optional eld for the entry of an additional FMC climb speed restriction to altitude.
To make an entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) and press the 4L LSK. When an entry is
made, the FMC target airspeed is limited to the value displayed until reaching the altitude displayed. To delete the
speed restriction, press the DEL key & 3L LSK.
5. Waypoint Altitude Constraint Displays the next waypoint altitude constraint entered into the LEGS page. If
no altitude constraints are entered into the LEGS page, this eld is blank. When VNAV is engaged, the FMC
commanded airspeed and altitude are constrained to the values entered on the LEGS page until reaching the
displayed waypoint (AT XXXXX).
In the following example consider the how VNAV climb is managed with waypoint constraints. Airspeed and altitude
climb 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 (entered manually or by procedure). See the LEGS
Page section of this manual for an explanation of how to enter manual
speed and altitude constraints.
The example LEGS page shows that a speed and altitude constraint of
210/7000B has been entered at the BAKRR waypoint. The FMC restricts
the commanded VNAV speed to 210 knots until BAKRR (notice that the
airspeed prediction for WASTE is 210). The FMC also restricts the VNAV
climb to cross BAKRR at or below 7000 feet.
After passing BAKRR, the VNAV CLB page changes to AT MINEY and
8000 since the MINEY waypoint has an altitude constraint of 8000 feet.
Flight Management System 104

Flight Management System 105

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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

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

VNAV DES Page


The VNAV DES page is used to make modications to the descent
path. This page is primarily used to make VNAV descent airspeed
5
1
modications. The title of the VNAV DES page indicates if the data
displayed is active (ACT) or modied (MOD). Additionally, if the AFDS
2
is in speed intervention mode, the title changes to MCP SPD DES
3
to indicate that speed is controlled via the MCP. If a specic descent
airspeed or Mach has been entered, the page title changes to reect
4
the manually entered speed.
All modications to DES page data require execution with the EXEC
6
function key prior to becoming active. When modications are made,
7
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. End of Descent Waypoint Displays the name of the waypoint in the LEGS page with the lowest altitude
constraint. This eld is blank if no altitude constraints have been entered on the LEGS page.
2. Speed Display Displays the current target descent airspeed/Mach. This airspeed is used to calculate the VNAV
descent path. This speed is commanded by the FMC during the descent until a lower speed is encountered as
part of a LEGS page constraint. ECON SPD is displayed when economy speed is in use. SEL SPD is displayed
when a speed is manually entered. To change the current descent speed, type an IAS or MACH speed into the
scratchpad and press the 2L LSK. If the entry of both speeds is desired, the format is .XXX/xxx, where XXX
is MACH and xxx is IAS. The FMC commanded descent airspeed is MACH until the IAS value is reached. To
restore ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 2L LSK.
If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to MCP SPD DES. In this mode, airspeed is controlled
via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV DES page.
3. Speed Transition Displays the FMC transition airspeed and altitude. The FMC target descent airspeed is limited
to the value displayed at or below the altitude displayed. The default value is 240 knots at or below 10,000
feet. This entry may be changed or deleted manually. To change the entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed,
XXXXX=altitude) into the scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. To delete the entry, press the DEL data entry key
followed by the 3L LSK.
4. Speed Restriction This is an optional eld for the entry of an additional FMC descent speed restriction below
an altitude. To make an entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) and press the 4L LSK. When
an entry is made, the FMC target airspeed is limited to the value displayed at or below the altitude displayed. To
delete the speed restriction, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 3L LSK.
5. Waypoint Altitude Constraint Displays the next waypoint altitude constraint entered into the LEGS page. If
no altitude constraints are entered into the LEGS page, this eld is blank. When VNAV is engaged, the FMC
commanded airspeed and altitude are constrained to the values entered on the LEGS page until reaching the
displayed waypoint (AT XXXXX) (see example next page).

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.

FMC Database Programming Examples


The following examples show the steps involved in programming SIDs, STARs, and approaches into the FMC
database. The examples are made up from actual waypoints in and around KLAS. The default installation of the
database is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Level-D Simulations\navdata.
The FMC database procedures are stored in *.xml format. Those familiar with the xml format can manipulate the
data manually by opening this le in WordPad, Notepad, or any suitable xml editor.

SID Programming Example


The following example shows how to program a SID. SIDs can be as simple as a single waypoint with no transitions,
or a more comprehensive procedure with multiple transitions. The example below is a made up procedure called the
JEBBB1 departure at KLAS. This is a comprehensive SID with multiple transition elements.

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.

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 1L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID transition.
7. Press the LSK abeam the JEBBB1 SID 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 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.

STAR Programming Example


The following example shows how to program a STAR. A STAR is broken down into the main procedure waypoints
and the optional transition waypoints. The example is a made up procedure called the CRESO1 arrival at KLAS.
All STARs consist of one or more main procedure waypoints. In this example, the DANBY and CRESO waypoints
are the main procedure since they are common to all transitions. Program the main part of the STAR 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. 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.

Approach Programming Example


The following example shows how to program an approach procedure. Approach procedures are broken down into
the main approach, missed approach, and optional transitions. The main and missed approaches are programmed
together in one procedure. The optional transitions are programmed separately. The following example is the ILS to
runway 25R at KLAS.

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.

Conditional Waypoint Programming


Special waypoints can be programmed into the FMC to handle SID, STAR and approach conditional waypoints.
These waypoints are programmed using the LEGS page and can only be programmed while the aircraft is on
the ground. The following types of conditional waypoints can be programmed:

Heading to Altitude
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until reaching a specied
altitude. An arbitrary anchor waypoint is used to start the programming.
.CHA/Altitude/Heading/Option1/Option2
.CHA
Altitude
Heading
Option1
Option2

denes the waypoint as being a constant heading to altitude.


the altitude to which the heading is maintained.
the heading or track to maintain to altitude.
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 then entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the arbitrary anchor waypoint. This
creates the heading to altitude conditional waypoint. The arbitrary anchor waypoint is then deleted.
Example From runway 31L at KJFK, a SID requires a 315 heading until reaching 500 feet, followed by a left turn on
course.
1. On the LEGS page, enter JFK as an arbitrary waypoint at the 1L LSK.

Heading to Radial Crossing


This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until crossing a predetermined x
radial and can only be programmed while the aircraft is on the ground. The radial to be crossed is only used to dene
the waypoint (for radial tracking see Radial Intercept). The anchor waypoint used to start programming is the x used
to dene the crossing radial.

Fuel System 119

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.

Main Wing Tanks


Each wing contains a fuel tank capable of carrying
40,669 pounds (18,449 kilograms) of fuel per tank.
These two tanks are considered the main fuel tanks.
Each tank contains two fuel pumps labeled forward
(FWD) and aft (AFT) for the delivery of fuel under
pressure to the engines. If these pumps fail, fuel from
either wing tank can gravity feed to the engines at most
altitudes. Gravity feed at high altitudes may lead to
reduced engine power or engine ameout.
The fuel pumps are powered via the Main AC buses in
a cross wired conguration such that failure of one AC
bus leaves one fuel pump operating per tank. The Left
Main AC Bus powers the Left AFT and Right FWD fuel
pumps. The Right Main AC Bus powers the Left FWD
and Right AFT fuel pumps.
Fuel for operation of the APU is normally provided by
the Left wing tank. When the APU is switched ON, the
Left FWD fuel pump operates automatically provided AC
power is available. Therefore, the PRESS light in the Left
FWD fuel pump will extinguish anytime the APU is in use
regardless of the pumps switch position.
The FUEL CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates
to indicate either low fuel quantity or an imbalanced fuel
condition in the main tanks. If the fuel quantity in either
wing tank drops below 2,200 pounds (998 kg), the FUEL
CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates along with
an EICAS caution of LOW FUEL. If the lateral balance of
the wing tanks is not maintained to within 1500 to 2500
pounds (680 to 1,140 kg) (depending on aircraft weight),
the FUEL CONFIG light illuminates and a FUEL CONFIG
EICAS message is displayed.

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.

Fuel Quantity and Distribution


A fuel quantity gauge is located on the overhead panel
just below the Fuel Panel. The fuel quantity for all three
tanks plus the total fuel quantity is displayed. Total fuel
quantity is also available from the FMC. The fuel quantity
gauge is powered from the battery bus.
When fueling the aircraft, the main wing tanks are
normally lled rst. When more than 80,000 pounds
(36,000 kg) of fuel is required, the center tank is used
only after the main wing tanks are full. Any fuel carried in
the center tank should be burned prior to using fuel from
the wing tanks. This is accomplished by turning on all fuel
pumps prior to engine start. As the center tank is emptied,
fuel to the engines continues uninterrupted from the main
wing tanks. The PRESS lights in the center tank pumps
illuminate when fuel is exhausted from the center tank.

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

Hydraulic System 123

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Left & Right Hydraulic Systems


Both systems have an engine driven primary pump
and an electrically driven demand pump. Either pump
is capable of satisfying normal system demands. The
left system provides hydraulic power to the ailerons,
elevators, rudder, spoilers, stab trim, left autopilot, yaw
dampers, and rudder ratio. The right system provides
hydraulic power to the ailerons, elevators, rudder,
spoilers, right autopilot, and normal brakes.
The engine driven primary pumps operate continuously
to satisfy normal system demand when the Primary Pump
Switch is ON and the respective engine is running. The
primary engine pump switches are normally left ON and
are only switched off during abnormal operations. Pulling
the re handle shuts off the respective primary pump and
isolates it from the hydraulic system.
The electrically driven demand pumps operate on
demand and are capable of supplying sufcient pressure
to satisfy normal system demands. Each demand pump
is powered independently. The left demand pump is
powered by the Right Main AC Bus. The right demand
pump is powered by the Left Main AC Bus. Control is
provided by a three position rotary switch with OFF, AUTO
and ON positions. In the AUTO position the demand
pump operates if the primary pump fails or is turned off.
In the ON position the demand pump runs continuously
regardless of primary pump status. These pumps are
normally in the AUTO mode for all aircraft operations
and are shut OFF at the gate. The left demand pump is
inhibited on the ground during the start of either engine.
This may cause the left demand pump and system low
PRESS lights to illuminate during engine start.

Center Hydraulic System


This system has two electrically driven primary pumps
and one air driven demand pump (ADP) that provides
hydraulic power to the ailerons, elevators, rudder,
spoilers, center autopilot, alternate brakes, aps/slats,
landing gear and nose wheel steering. The electric pumps
normally operate continuously to satisfy center system
demand. The ADP normally provides supplemental
hydraulic power during operation of high demand items
such as aps and gear. The ADP is also capable of
providing normal system demands if both electric primary
pumps fail.
The center primary electric pumps are designated
Number 1 and Number 2 and operate on two separate
power sources. The Number 1 pump is powered by the
Left Main AC Bus. The Number 2 pump is powered by

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.

Ram Air Turbine


The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is an emergency system
used to power primary ight controls in the event of a total
hydraulic power loss. The RAT is a small propeller housed
just aft of the right main landing gear and deploys into
the air stream to create hydraulic pressure in the center
system. A minimum airspeed of 130 knots is required for
satisfactory RAT operation.
The RAT deploys automatically in ight with dual engine
failure. It can be deployed manually using the RAT switch
on the overhead panel. Once deployed, it can only be
stowed on the ground using the Ground Requests menu.
The RAT provides partial hydraulic power for the ailerons,
elevators, rudder and spoilers. A check valve prevents the
RAT from powering other center system components due
to their high demand.

Reserve Brakes and Steering


This system uses reserve hydraulic uid from the center
system to pressure the brake system during abnormal
operations. The brakes are normally powered using the
right hydraulic system with alternate power provided by
the center system. If power to both these systems is lost,
the reserve brakes and steering system may restore
pressure for operating the brakes if the center system has
reserve uid remaining. The system is activated using the
RESERVE BKS & STRG switch on the main panel. When
Hydraulic System 123

Hydraulic System 124

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Hydraulics Quick Start Tip

Ice & Rain Protection 126

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Ice and Rain Protection


The following systems are available for ice and rain protection: Engine anti-ice, Wing anti-ice, window heat, and
windshield wipers. The engine and wing anti-ice systems require bleed air for operation. The window heat system
requires Main AC power for operation.

Engine Anti-Ice

Window Heat

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.

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.

Inertial Reference System 128

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Inertial Reference System (IRS)


The Inertial Reference System provides position, heading, attitude, and acceleration information to any system
that requires it. This information includes: aircraft attitude, acceleration, ground speed/track, heading (true and
magnetic), latitude/longitude, and wind direction/speed. Examples of instruments that rely on IRU data are the
FMC and the primary ight instruments. The IRS control panel is located on the overhead panel and provides
for control over three separate Inertial Reference Units (IRU). From this panel, raw data from the IRU can
be displayed and position information can be entered during alignment. The FMC is the primary interface for
reading and entering IRS information.

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.

IRU Quick Alignment

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.

IRU Electrical Power

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.

Loss of IRU Alignment

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

affected IRU using the IRU panel or the CDU POS


INIT page. Heading information is then available on the
affected EHSI.

IRU Failure

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.

IRU Options

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?!

Laymans Guide to the IGS


The aircraft knows where it is at all times. It knows
this because it knows where it isnt. By subtracting
where it is from where it isnt, or where it isnt from
where it is (whichever is the greater), it obtains a
difference, or deviation.
The Inertial Guidance System uses deviations to
generate error signal commands which instruct the
aircraft to move from a position where it is to a position
where it isnt, arriving at a position where it wasnt, or
now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now
the position where it wasnt; thus, it follows logically that
the position where it was is the position where it isnt.
In the event that the position where the aircraft now
is, is not the position where it wasnt, the Inertial
Guidance System has acquired a variation. Variations
are caused by external factors, the discussions of
which are beyond the scope of this report.
A variation is the difference between where the
aircraft is and where the aircraft wasnt. If the variation
is considered to be a factor of signicant magnitude, a
correction may be applied by the use of the autopilot
system. However, use of this correction requires that
the aircraft now knows where it was because the
variation has modied some of the information which
the aircraft has, so it is sure where it isnt.
Nevertheless, the aircraft is sure where it isnt (within
reason) and it knows where it was. It now subtracts
where it should be from where it isnt, where it ought to
be from where it wasnt (or vice versa) and integrates
the difference with the product of where it shouldnt
be and where it was; thus obtaining the difference
between its deviation and its variation, which is
variable constant called error.

IRS Operation Guide

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.

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Inertial Reference System 131

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.

Landing Gear & Brakes 133

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

Landing Gear and Brakes


The Level-D 767 is tted with 3 sets of wheel units: a single nose gear and two main landing gear. The nose gear
is a steerable twowheel unit and the main gear has four wheels in tandem pairs. Hydraulic power for retraction,
extension, and steering is supplied by the center hydraulic system. An alternate extension system is also provided.
In normal operations, the brake hydraulic system is powered by the right hydraulic system. The alternate brake
hydraulic system is powered by the center hydraulic system. Antiskid protection is provided with both systems, but the
autobrake system is available only during normal operations.

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.

Navigation and communication radios are found on the pedestal, main panel and the overhead. An audio panel on
the pedestal provides for control over the audio portion of each radio and cockpit communications.

VOR Receivers

VHF Radios

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.

Two VHF radios are installed on the pedestal. Each

Warning Systems 139

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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.

Crew Alerting System (CAS)


This system continuously monitors aircraft systems for
faults and failures. Alerts are displayed on both the upper
and lower EICAS screens when received. Additionally, aural
and other visual alerts are provided depending on the type
of failure. For example, a hydraulic low pressure condition
generates an EICAS caution along with an Annunciator light
on the hydraulic panel.
Alert messages are classied as follows:
Warnings Messages display in red on the upper EICAS. These require
immediate crew action.
Cautions Messages display in amber on the upper EICAS. These require
crew action on a timely basis.
Advisories Messages that are offset and displayed in amber on the upper
EICAS. These require crew action on a time-available basis.
Status
Messages displayed on the lower EICAS STATUS page. These
messages are for low level faults that usually generate no
indications in the cockpit.

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.

GPWS Aural Messages

The GPWS system provides the following aural warning


messages to the crew.

Trafc Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)


The TCAS warns of potential conicts with other aircraft.
The system is turned on via the transponder panel on the
pedestal. Trafc information is displayed on the EHSI and
can be toggled on/off using a button on the EHSI control
panel. TFC is displayed on the EHSI when the system
is operating normally. If the TCAS display is toggled OFF,
the EHSI shows no trafc indications.
Area trafc are displayed on the EHSI MAP mode at
their relative distance, bearing, and altitude from the
aircraft. The relative altitude of the trafc is displayed in
+/- 100s of feet next to the targets symbol along with a
vertical trend arrow. The trend arrow points up if the trafc
is climbing and points down if the trafc is descending. As
a matter of convention, lower trafc have negative values
with data tags displayed below the trafc symbol. Higher

trafc have positive values with data tags displayed above


the trafc symbol.
Non-threatening other trafc are displayed as hollow
white diamonds with their relative altitude displayed.
Trafc that penetrates the TCAS advisory threshold
display as solid white diamonds. When the proximity
of the trafc becomes more critical, a Trafc Advisory
(TA) is received and the target becomes a solid yellow
circle. Trafc that become an immediate threat become
red squares and a Resolution Advisory is received.
Vertical escape commands are generated and must
be followed precisely by the pilot. The trafc display
returns to normal when the CLEAR OF CONFLICT
announcement is received.

Aircraft Operating Tutorial


Golden Gate Run
LDS001 CYVR ~ KSFO

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.

Flight Deck Preparation

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

Programming the FMC


Okay, time to get to the brains of this aircraft: lets open the FMC and lets get programming.
Every effort has been made to address every possible combination of FMC data entry. Some input
errors may occur. Should any FMC advisory messages appear in the scratchpad (i.e. NOT IN DATABASE, INVALID
ENTRY) simply clear the message by pressing the CLR key or the BLANK key (located between the Z and the DEL
keys). Try to continue with the next step. Should that not be possible, ensure you have entered the data correctly.

When the sim loads the FMC is not displayed. Use the keyboard combination <SHIFT><7> or press the FMC
button on the main panel to display the FMCs CDU. 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.

6R LSK > The Preight Prompt


Preight ow continues in this sequence:
Identication (IDENT) page
Position Initialization (POS INIT) page
ROUTE (RTE) page
DEPARTURES page (no automatic prompt)
Performance Initialization (PERF INIT) page
Takeoff Reference (TAKEOFF REF) page.

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. There are 2 methods to program

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.

TAKEOFF REF
The TAKEOFF REF (1/2) page displays.
Press NEXT PAGE to display the TAKEOFF REF (2/2)

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

EHSI Control Panel and route continuity


Lets check our route with another tool, the EHSI
Control panel. The EHSI - the LCD screen that displays
the route - has six view modes that can be controlled via
the EHSI Control panel, and, in concert with the FMCs
LEGS page, can be used to view the waypoints of the
planned route step by step, to verify continuity. The last
thing any pilot wants to see is an error in the route, so, its
prudent to check the validity of the route.
The EHSI Control panel is located at the bottom of the
main panel. By default the HSI control is set to MAP. To
check the route, we need to set the control to PLAN.

When the nal discontinuity was closed, the succeeding


waypoints moved up one lateral position and the page

the FMC...

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.

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.

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.

Select LNAV or HDG SEL on the AFDS (MCP) as


required. For LNAV, use the DIRECT TO procedure or

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

will be displayed. Note the information displayed on

Make notes on your ight plan for fuel burn, winds aloft,

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.

Decision Altitude/Height

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.

Getting more accurate Fuel/ETA predictions


Next time youre stuck in an 8-hour cruise and looking
for something else to do other than watching DTG to
DEST tick away on PROG page, try keeping yourself
busy for a few minutes by entering the winds into FMC.
The WIND page isnt intentionally hidden, but many
users may not know about it because its hidden under
the LEGS page. In any case, entering the wind aloft data
may help you get more accurate fuel and eta prediction;
of course, it depends on how accurate your wind data is.
Heres my PROG page:

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.

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.

Here the FIX names are displayed again, but instead of


SPEED/ALT and distant to, I can see the ETA and FUEL
associated with each x--pretty useful; but right now Im
interested in the WIND column, which is currently blank.

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.

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.

Tutorial Flight 181

Tutorial Flight 182

Level-D Simulations 767-300ER

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:

Quotable Quotes from Mr.X & Mr. Y


LDS767 forum contributors that y the REAL 767.
Q. What do you pilots do on ights that last over 3-4 hours in cruise?
Mr. X: I spend my time coming up with new games to play using the
FMC, so far I have come up with FIX page darts (enter a x, draw
circles around it and bearing lines, using RTE2 enter a waypoint
and if it hits the dartboard then score appropriately). Then there
is RTE2 Battleships. Draw a secret grid on paper and mark your
battleships, using RTE2 enter a grid pattern of waypoints (takes a
long time) and then enter coordinates to try to hit the squares. Not
actually managed to play any of these but the concepts are there
Q. My question is, does setting, say 2 failures a month, account for
the livery youre ying or the sim in general.
Mr. X: Nearly 4 years ying the 767 now and Ive seen 2 EICAS
messages in-ight - TE Flap Disagree (caused by the captain
not engaging the ap lever in the detent) and spoilers (um,
who knows, the engineer didnt). On the ground Ive only had 1
failure of QRH note, ignitor failed, but several more to do with
miscelleneous things happening in the cabin or in the EE bay
that dont show up. If I y the LDS I keep the failures turned off to
simulate reality!
Mr. Ys How to make Virtual Airline Flying more realistic
Show up one hour prior to take-off for a :30 minute ight.

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:

Empty all your pockets of metal as you go through the door to


your PC. For extra credit, have your teenage offspring search your
ightcase, shoes, wallet.
Take the one-page ightplan you generated for your ight, get all 8.5
x 11 inch papers from your waste-basket, mix them up and spend ten
minutes looking for the critical page, then spill coffee on it.
Put seatbelt/shoulder harness on your ofce chair. For that extra
GOOD MORNING feeling sit on the buckle.
If youre ying out of Grand Forks, ND in January, turn your house
air conditioning full till it is about 10 degrees F. Then, when (if) you get
the APU running turn the heat on.
Once you get ready to y, get up, go outside and do a complete
walk-around of your house, rain, snow or shine, in a $300 suit.
Wear a white shirt with a fresh coffee stain. A tie is a must (no clip-on)
Eat a half-cooked TV dinner while ying.
Try explaining the concept of sterile cockpit to your SO (signicant other).
If your pet comes to visit, explain the instruments to it. Ask it if it likes
Gladiator Movies
Never accelerate the sim clock no matter how boring the ocean or
Nebraska is.

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

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).

Normal Procedures & Checklist 185

Normal Procedures & Checklist

This section outlines normal procedures to be followed when ying the 767. These procedures are meant as
guidelines only, and may be modied based on user preference. Expanded procedures are provided rst, followed by
an abbreviated checklist that may be printed and used in daily operations.
The following procedures are written with a ow concept in mind. Cockpit ows are used extensively during all
phases of ight to facilitate the safe and expedient operation of aircraft systems.

Cockpit Preparation
The Cockpit Preparation ow starts with the upper left hand corner of the overhead panel. Each overhead panel
system is checked in a downward ow beginning at the top of each overhead panel column. 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. The following checklist is an expanded version with explanations of

Tips & Tricks from the Level-D forum


MAINTENANCE
Cant tune NAV2 for FS-Add-ons?
Some FS addons activate features by having the user tune the
FS NAV2 radio to a specic frequency. The LDS767 doesnt use
the internal NAV2 radio, but heres a trick that will let you tune the
internal FS NAV2 radio. Set the required frequency manually in
either the Left or Right NAV radio on the MCP. Then select that
radios IDENT switch on the audio panel. That will set the FS NAV2
radio. You dont need to leave the ident on, just toggle it. The FS
NAV2 radio will stay on that frequency until an ident is done on a
different frequency.
Bad License message.
If you start Flight Simulator, and you get a message that you have a
bad license, you need to run the downloaded exe, with your key le,
to re-install your license. Press the Click here to Reinstall button.
You will need to be connected to the Internet. You can cancel the
Setup process if you already have the Level-D product installed.
Why do the quick tips keep coming up even though I uncheck
the show quick tips box?
Navigate to the Flight Simulator X\Level-D Simulations\B767-300
folder directory and open the 767-300.ini le with NOTEPAD. Find
the following string of text: TIP_AT_STARTUP=1. Change the value
to read: TIP_AT_STARTUP=0.

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.

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.

Why doesnt Autoland automatically arm?


Autoland will arm automatically if you have AFDS automatic multichannel selected from the Add-ons > B767 Specic > Realism &
Carrier options menu. Otherwise, arm the left, center and right A/P
manually before the AFDS system will be active for an autoland.
Why do I get a cargo overheat warning when I dont have any
failures set?
When ying out of airports with higher temperatures the cargo heat
is not needed. Shut off the cargo heat switches on the overhead.
The strobes lights only turn on if the position lights are on, why?
Due to limitations in the program that is used to create the exterior
of the aircraft (G-max), the position lights are tied to strobes. The
only way to get the lights to work independently would have been to
remove the exing wings feature (and nobody wants that!).
Why wont the transponder accept 0 as an entry?
Enter the non-zero digits, the leading zero will fall into place.
Why arent the MCP mode lights extinguishing even if I turn off my
ight director?
If the First Ofcers side F/D is still ON, this is what youll see. Turn
both ight directors off to disable all MCP modes.
Why is the TAI indication green all the time ?
This is correct behaviour for the aircraft modeled.
I tune the ILS frequency and front course on the glareshield radio,
but it doesnt do anything. What am I doing wrong?
You are tuning the NAV1, not the ILS receiver. To tune the ILS,
enter the frequency and course on the ILS Control Panel on the
pedestal (This will tune the left, centre and right ILS receivers in
the main equipment centre). You cannot tune ILS frequencies in
the real aircrafts NAV receiver either; it will only accept valid VOR
frequencies. It can also be tuned automatically by the FMC by
selecting the FMC tunes ILS in the Realism & Carrier options
from the B767 Specic Add-on menu. (Note that you must select
the arrival runway in the FMC for this option to work).

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.

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.

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.

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.

STICKY BRAKES / GROUND FRICTION

Ground friction (RC1), everybody please test...


PROBLEM SOLVED!
I thought that from the FS BRAKES or DIFFERENTIAL BRAKES
text you would always know if your brakes were engaged.
FSX default settings put the L and R wheel brakes at HALF
sensitivity level. On my system, this causes the following.
If parking brake is cycled, somehow the brake system goes to
zero brakes condition. When I as much as touched a brake pedal
(either), the brakes would be ON, even after I released the brakes
fully AND the text went away. In other words, I was riding the brakes
all the time, even though there was no indication of that whatsoever.
(not even in the brake press. indicator).
If I turn the sensitivities to zero or close to zero, I will get constant
brake pressure even though I am not pressing the brakes, even
to the point that the BRAKES text appear (and I can see the
brake press indicator indicate pressure change). If I increase the
sensitivity, the brakes are never on, when I dont press them.
The pedals were calibrated many times, so calibration was not the
issue here, happens like I described regardless of calibration.
SOLUTION: So, the solution for me was to increase the toebrakes
sensitivity axes to FULL RIGHT.

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.

ALSO NOTE: See the Conguration Manager page for revised


information about how to load cargo into the cargo holds. ;)

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.

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
