To do this, keep in mind the altitude of the airport above sea level.
In mountainous areas, the runway may be several thousand feet above the sea level.
In fact, it is necessary to lose speed, but inMicrosoft Flight Simulatorit happens very quickly.
So when to start descending?
The flight plan offers some help.
The one generated automatically in the game will show you the suggested altitude for each navigation point.
Then you could clearly see when the descent process begins.
In a self-programmed MCDU plan, the required minimum altitudes will also be visible for SID and STAR waypoints.
In our example flight, the plane flies at the altitude of FL180, which is 18 thousand feet.
The navigation screen shows that the airport is somewhere between 40 and 60 miles ahead of the plane.
The flight plan in the MCDU computer is helpful here.
Press F-PLN button to open it.
Use the “up-down” arrows on your rig to scroll through a list of points.
With it, you could set given altitudes for the autopilot.
you’re able to see that you have to achieve6000feet before the pointVASHN.
Exceeding the safe speed is indicated by the flight computer voice message: OVERSPEED.
