E-Jets Series - Embraer 170/190
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Wilco's simulation of the
Embraer Regional Jet, the E-170/190.
Taking to the air for the first time in
February, 2002, this regional jet is thesmallest variant offered by Embraer, and
was designed to compete with their CRJ
700/900 and Q400 series. It was also
meant to replace the BAe-146 and Fokker
70. She's got a passenger capacity of 78,
and tips the scales at an empty weight
21,140 Kgs/56,638 Lbs. Powered by 2 GE
DF34-8E turbofans fitted with FADEC, she's
got a maximum ceiling of 41,000 feet,
cruising speed of 460 kts, a range of 3,889
Km/2,416 Miles, and may easily operate
routes such as Paris to Moscow, Dallas to
Halifax or Brasilia to Caracas. Current
customers include Alitalia, US Airways, LOTAirlines, Air Caribes, Egyptair, Virgin Blue,
Air France Regional and others.
As you will soon see, the flight deck sports
an all digital cockpit. With the exception
of the ailerons, the flight controls are all
fly by wire. Of particular interest to the
airlines, the jet has ten minute single point
refueling, and the under wing engines may
be serviced from the ground without
stands. There are forward and aft doors on
both sides of the fuselage that permit rapid
entry/exit with simultaneous servicing. A
regional jet by all counts, this is an aircraftthat could become the standard for all
short to medium distance carriers.
QUICK START
POWERING UP YOUR BIRD
Remember placing the mouse over a usable
knob or switch will reveal its function and
status (on/off, auto etc.).
1. Battery 1 to "On", Battery 2 to "Auto".22.5V minimum. Aural message will play.
2. Rotate AC Fuel Pump 2 knob to "Auto".3. Rotate APU knob to "Start". Follow start-up on EICAS gauge.
4. Rotate Generator 1 & 2 knobs to "Auto".5. Using "Black Panel Logic", press allswitches until all are dark.
6. Rotate AC Fuel Pump 1 knob to "Auto".Cross Feed should be "Off", DC Pump to
"Auto".
7. TRU 1, TRU Essential and TRU2 to "Auto",DC Bus Ties to "Auto".
Now that the aircraft is self-sufficient,you are ready to start the engines :
8. Confirm Ignition Knobs are set to "Auto".Red Beacon should be set "On".
9. Right mouse click on the #2 start cover toopen it, and Right click to rotate the start

knob to "Start". Right click again to close the
cover.
10.Repeat to start engine 1.
Unlike the EMB 145, takeoff data does not
need to be entered/stored into the FADEC,
and although unnecessary, it is possible toalter the takeoff information via the FMC.
11.Shut down the APU by a left mouse click.12.Lower flaps to takeoff (2), left click belowthe Slat/Flap lever on the pedestal.
13.Confirm your pitch trim is within thegreen band. I find a value of 5.9 is best.
You're now ready to taxi to the active and
depart. You will find the 170/190 handle
beautifully by hand. At this point we've not
input a flight plan into the FMC, nor
programmed any other flight parameters that
will be necessary in order to simulate a
commercial flight.
Reference the V Speed chart to determine
your appropriate take off speeds, accounting
at least for takeoff weight (the included
charts also consider ambient temperature
and ice/no ice conditions), and enter them
via the Takeoff Page 3 in the FMS. On
average, these speeds should be adequate:
V1 - 133; VR - 136; V2 - 142; VFS - 198. Enter
the numbers into the scratch pad (this
process will be explained a little bit later),
and left click the appropriate key next to the
V speed you wish to enter. The V speeds will
appear at the bottom of the speed tape:
Entering VR at 138 and V2 at 131
will result in the V Speeds appearing at the
bottom of the speed tape on your PFD.
TAKE OFF
PFD MFD EICASYour Embraer sports three glass gauges,
collectively known as EFIS (Electronic Flight
Instruments System). The EFIS is comprised
of the PFD (Primary Flight Display), the MFD
(Multi Function Display) and the EICAS (Engine
Indication and Crew Alert System). Unlike its
smaller sibling, the 170/190 is not equipped
with a Radio Management Unit. Rather, the
Com and Nav frequencies are entered via the
APU is
running
QUICK START
FMC (Flight Management Computer) or
directly on the PFD. We'll get back to that
later.
Open the pedestal (shift-4 via the keyboard)
and with the parking brake released, left
click the T/O CONFIG button just above the
throttles. If you are properly configured for
departure, you'll hear "Takeoff Okay". If
you've forgotten something, you'll hear about
it!

5. Throttles. Note TO/GA indicator
6. Slat/Flap
Lined up and ready to go. Press the Auto
Throttle button on the glare shield auto flight
panel, and note 'AT' is indicated on the PFD.
A hidden click spot over SPEED will rotate
the knob to either FMS or MAN. In FMS, the
Flight Management Computer will be
responsible for your speed management. In
MAN, the speeds are entirely up to the crew
to manage. Remember that even with this
knob to FMS, the A/T button must be
pressed and the Auto Throttle engaged in
order to have automated speed
management!
Apply the brake and advance the throttles to
about 70% and confirm the engine readings on
the EICAS are equal and within normal limits.
If everything looks good, advance the
throttles to take off power and release the
brakes. Remember to enable TO/GA. You
may either use the hidden click spot above
the A/T button, or assign a keystroke (defaultis Ctrl+Shift+G) to a joystick button in either
Flight Simulator or the E170/190 setup utility.

The tape indicates actual aircraft altitude,labeled with tick marks every 100 feet and
single or double-lined chevrons at every 500
or 1,000 feet intervals, respectively. The
Green '1640' is a rolling digital altitude
readout. The Green hashmarked box on the
left of the readout indicates an altitude
below 10,000 feet. The bottom 29.92 is
current barometric pressure. There is a
White altitude trend vector bar on the very
left side extending upward, showing where
the aircraft will be within 6 seconds at
current speed and rate of ascent. There is
also a Cyan selected altitude bug, half of
which is just visible at the bottom of thescale.

Right clicking on the window will enlarge it.
A second click will normalize it.
We'll look at this display one piece at a time:
This part of the gauge displays the slat/flap
position. Items in green display real-time
surface position. The Cyan pointer indicates
the commanded position along the scale of
available movement. In the above example,
the number "2" indicates the slat/flap surface
position.
The Trim configuration is displayed with the
green pointer in the scales above. The five
tick marks for the Roll/Yaw scale are at -
100%, -50%, 0%, 50%, and 100%. The Pitch
trim tick marks are positioned at 2, -1.75, -
5.5, -9.25 and -13 degrees. The green band
indicates appropriate take off trim setting,
going from 1 to 6 degrees. The arrow and
numbers in the box (the Pitch Trim Digital
Readout) will turn amber when set outside
permissible take off setting. An UP or DN
indication displays above or below the
readout box, according to trim set.
Displays of fuel quantity in each tank, oil
pressure in PSI and temp and engine vibrationin the low and high pressure sections of each
engine.
Displays of the status of landing gear, APU
status and cabin pressure.
MAIN PANEL
EICAS Engine Display. REV will display upon
deployment of the reversers. Green when
fully deployed, Amber in transition and Red
when there is a discrepancy between
selected and actual reverser positions. N1
displays the percentage of N1 RPM. Green in
operational range, Red when limit is
exceeded. The Green pointer is an indicator
of what is shown digitally. Green for normal
range, Red when limit exceeds values. An
Amber FAIL box will display if the engine has
flamed out or shut down without pilot action.
The Cyan OFF is displayed with the engine off
by pilot action. ATTCS Indication (not
displayed here) will display to indicate the
Automatic Takeoff Thrust Control System
status. Green is armed, White is enabled,
and it is blank when not selected.
The Cyan indicator within the circular gauge
is the N1 Request Indication, and shows the
momentary difference between the Actual N1
and the N1 requested via thrust lever
position. The Cyan arrow on the outside of
the circular gauge is the N1 target indicator.
This is the maximum N1 engine thrust rating
mode indicated on the EICAS (T/0-1). If the
request is invalid, the digits are removed
from the display (91.7). The T/0-1 is the
Thrust Rating Mode Indicator. The Red tick
mark inside the circular gauge displays the
maximum allowable ITT (Inter Turbine
Temperature). It limits thrust, preventing
the engines from exceeding maximum ITT.
The Red line changes to Amber after the end
of the takeoff phase, but will display Red in
flight if the ITT goes above the CON
(Continuous Thrust) rating limit.
N2 is a digital indication of the N2 RPM.
Green in normal operating range, Red when
operating limit is exceeded. FF/PPH displays
Fuel Flow in Pounds Per Hour, per engine.

active/engaged mode.
White - Armed Mode.
Amber - Alert condition.
RED - Abnormal condition.
Only one lateral mode may be
armed/activated at one time. The lateral
navigation (steering) modes are:
Roll Hold - Basic Lateral Mode (ROLL)Activated when the active lateral mode is
deactivated & when the TO mode is selected
on the ground by pressing the TOGA button.
Heading Select - (HDG)Activated when the HDG pushbutton on the
Glareshield Panel (GP) is pressed & when the
LNAV, LOC or BC modes are armed.
Remember pressing the center of the
selector knob synchronizes the heading bug
with your current heading! The FlightDirector (FD) will follow the selected
heading and will turn to the side
commanded, even if the turn is beyond 180
degrees.
Lateral Navigation - (LNAV) (press the NAVbutton)
The FD provides lateral guidance commands
for interception, capture and tracking. It is
selected by pressing the NAV button on the
GP. It uses the FMS as its source of
navigation data.
Localizer - (LOC) (press the APP button)Selected by pressing the APP button on the
GP. The FD manages the LOC and Back-
Course according to Localizer frequency, PFD
information and the aircraft's position.
Back-Course - (BC)The FD will automatically select a BC
approach on the PFD. The FGCS provides
commands for capture and tracking of a BC
localizer indicated on the selected PFD.
VERTICAL MODESVertical Guidance
(Also known as "How do I go up and down?")
BOLD indicates FMA display.
One vertical mode may be active and one or
two may be armed at a time.
Flight Path Angle - (FPA)Except for TO, this is the basic vertical
mode. It becomes active when the FPA
pushbutton on the GP panel is pressed, by
engaging the autopilot when no FD mode isactive, when a lateral mode is activated and
there is no vertical flight director guidance
mode active and when deselecting the
current vertical mode.
The flight path reference line (FPR) isdisplayed when the FPA is active. Pressing
the FPR button in the display controller
panel displays the FPR line regardless of the
active vertical mode.
Flight path angle (+/- 9.9 degrees) is
selected with the FPA SEL selector knob on
the guidance panel of the GP.
Takeoff - (TO)This is an FD only mode and is represented
by crossbars on the PFD. It commands the
aircraft to maintain a pitch attitude
reference. Pressing the TOGA click spot
(invisible click spot above the AP button)
activates the TO mode. TO mode is
deactivated when another vertical mode is
selected, AP/FD TCS button is pressed or AP
is activated. The initial TO guidance is the
flap-pitch indication as follows:
AUTOFLIGHT
FLAP 1 - pitch 11 degrees
FLAP 2 - pitch 10 degrees
FLAP 4 - pitch 12 degrees
Altitude Select - (ASEL)This mode captures and levels off at the
altitude selected via the ASEL knob and
displayed on the PFD. A Green ASEL is
displayed on the FMA while the altitude
select mode captures the pre-selected
altitude, then a Green ALT is displayed when
leveled off at the selected altitude.
Altitude select is armed automatically
whenever any vertical FD mode is selected.
Flight Level Change - (FLCH)FLCH provides flight path command to climb
or descend according to the speed selected
in the Speed Selector knob. The selected
speed is displayed in the box above the
speed tape on the PFD, and when youraltitude approaches FL290, it switches from
IAS to Mach readout during climb, and from
Mach to IAS during descent. FLCH mode is
activated by pressing the FLCH button. It
deactivates when another vertical mode is
selected.
Altitude Hold - (ALT)Selected by the ALT button, this enables the
altitude hold mode. The altitude maya be
selected via the ALT SEL knob. After ALT
mode engagement, change to another
vertical mode is possible only by selecting a
different altitude via the ALT SEL knob.
Vertical Speed - (VS)This mode maintains a vertical speed rate.
VS is activated by pressing the VS button on
the GP. It has a range from -8000 ft/min to
+ 6000 ft/min.
Vertical Navigation - (VNAV)The VNAV may be enabled manually by
pressing the VNAV button on the GP when
altitude is above 400 feet, or automatically
upon crossing 400 feet after ground arming.
VNAV only selects the appropriate vertical
mode to accomplish the vertical profile.
VNAV sub-modes are VARM, VFLCH, VASEL,
VALT and VPATH.
VFLCH (VNAV Flight Level Change): AFCS
maintains the manual or FMS speed
controlling the aircraft's pitch attitude.
When in VALT mode, the VFLCH mode may
be selected by pressing the FLCH button on
the GP with the Alt Selector set to an
altitude other than the aircraft's current
level.
VASEL (VNAV Altitude Capture): This
captures the Alt Selector altitude or the FMS
waypoint altitude constraints.
VALT (VNAV Altitude Hold): This maintains
the altitude commanded by the FMS or the
Alt Selector. If the VNAV is disengaged whilein VALT the active mode becomes FPA.
VPATH (VNAV Path): In this mode the FMS
flies a constant descent angle between two
waypoints.
SPEED CONTROL
Speed control may be manual or automatic
(FMS directed) depending on the selection
on the Speed Selector Knob. The FMS
selection allows the FMS to send its defined
speeds as target speeds for FGCS.
MANUAL - With the knob set to MAN, you are
responsible for speed control during the
entire flight.
FMS - In FMS, the speed commands are sent
from the FMS for departure, climb, cruise,
descent, approach and (if necessary) go

using the "OR" buttons on LSKR3, 4, & 5
these settings may be modified in flight.
Also note if the Auto Throttle is not engaged
you are responsible for speed control during
the entire flight!

TO - Take Off Thrust Control Mode
GA - Go-Around Thrust Control Mode
HOLD - Take Off Thrust Hold Mode
RETARD - RETARD Mode
SPEED ON THRUST (SPDT)Thrust rate as programmed to maintain the
desired (set) speed. Vertical modes relating
to SPDT are: Flight Path Angle (FPA) - the
basic vertical mode; Vertical Speed (VS);
Glide Slope (GS); Altitude Hold (ALT);
Altitude Select (ASEL).
FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE THRUST CONTROLMODE - SPEED ON ELEVATOR (SPDE)The Auto Throttle maintains a fixed thrust
setting, and the Auto Pilot maintains the
selected speed via an elevator command.
For small flight level changes (FLCH mode)
the Auto Throttle commands thrust needed
in order to maintain a comfortable
predetermined rate based on vertical speed.For large flight level changes, the Auto
Throttle commands climb in setting CLIMB
rating and descent in IDLE rating. The
vertical modes relating to SPDE mode are:
Flight Level Change (FLCH); Overspeed
(OVSP).
TAKEOFF THRUST CONTROL MODE (TO)The Auto Throttle commands the thrust to
TO/GA position when the AT is engaged and
you've pressed the Takeoff/Go Around
button.
GO-AROUND THRUST CONTROL MODE (GA)The Go-Around mode advances the throttles
to the TO/GA position.
TAKEOFF THRUST HOLD CONTROL MODE(HOLD)
The HOLD mode prevents movement of thethrust levers that could result in nastiness
occurring during the TO phase. It is
activated when TO mode is active and IAS is
greater than 60Kt.
RETARD MODEThis retards the thrust levers to idle position
during flare on landing. It activates based
on a Radio Altitude of less than 30 feet and
the aircraft is in landing configuration.
Once there is weight-on-wheels or wheel
spin-up, the auto throttle automatically
disengages.
ILS APPROACH(also known as "How do I put this thing down
without breaking anything?")
The E170/190 is capable of two system
capability levels:
APPROACH 2 (APPR 2) - ILS CAT II capable.
APPROACH 1 (APPR 1) - ILS CAT I capable.
FMA Annunciation:
When executing an ILS approach, the
Autopilot Approach Status Annunciator
displays the current status of the system and
will advise if your intended approach is
available with system capabilities. The
RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums setting
are what the system looks to for information
regarding your intended approach. This part
is important, so take a break and grab a
AUTOFLIGHT
sandwich. I'll wait.
How was the sandwich? Ok, pay attention or
you'll wonder why you can't autoland this
thing.
The RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums
settings are what the aircraft system looks
to for information about how you intend to
land the bird. Note there are two MINIMUMS
knobs on each side of the panel (are you
writing this down?). When ILS modes are
requested by pushing the APP button, the
system will arm for the highest landing
configuration available to it depending onhow the panel is currently set. Kind of
freaky, but it knows this. When it sees all
the necessary requirements are not met, an
EICAS message is sent telling you in no
uncertain terms that Category II ILS
approach mode is not available. It is your
fault. Read the manual.
Here is what you need to set in order to
accomplish CAT I and II approaches:
CAT I - Set RA/BARO selector to BARO onBOTH SIDES.
CAT II - Set RA/BARO selector to RA andadjust Minimums to at least 80 feet.
The operational conditions necessary to
accomplish a CAT II approach are:
1. RA/BARO set to Radio Altitude (RA) and
Minimums at 80 feet or above.
2. Both NAV set to correct LOC frequency.
3. Both PFD's set to correct LOC inbound
course (V/L or Preview).
4. Flap 5
ALL THIS STUFF HAS TO BE DONEAT OR ABOVE 800 FT. RA.
If the flap setting is the only remaining
condition that needs to be accomplished for
a CAT II, the "armed" status will remain
displayed until you reach 800 ft. RA,reminding you there is still something that
needs to be addressed. Annoying, but
important.
Your aircraft is looking for the following as
you approach an ILS situation:
At 1,500 Ft. the system starts attempting to
engage the highest CAT available, based on
current settings.
At 800 ft. the system "freezes" the highest
capability available, and you are stuck with
it.
You may wish to mark these pages.
Just a thought.

displays a small 'K' in the upper left of the
data window, and toggles keyboard entryinto the FMC.
In this screen shot, the 'K' is visible in the
upper left corner, signifying the ability to
enter information via keyboard. Note the
'MOD' flight plan. This will remain displayed
until you hit the LSKR6 and activate the
plan, at which time the 'MOD' changes to
'ACTIVE'. Note: If you find your Flight
Simulator is not accepting keyboard input,
check to see if you've enabled keyboard
entry to the FMC! The 'NO PRESENT
POSITION' tells you you've neglected to tell
the FMC your current location.
In order to give you a flavor of the
programming of the FMS, we'll use our
ubiquitous flight from Islip McArthur Airport
(KISP) to Albany International Airport (KALB).
Once you've powered the unit, this is what
you'll see. We'll keep this simple and enter
only what we need to complete a flight.
From here, press LSKR6 to initialize yourcurrent position.
Left click LSKR2 in order to update the FMC
as to your current position. Without this
step, you'll be navigating by visual reference
only.
Ok, the FMC knows where you are. Now
you've got three choices in telling it where
you want to go and how to get there. You
could choose LSKL6 providing you've already
saved this flight in the format which is read
by the software running your FMC. Your
next choice is to add your route manually.
This is fun but time consuming and prone toerror. Speaking for myself, I'll choose LSKL2
every time. This choice automatically reads
and loads your currently selected FS flight
plan. Easy, quick and no errors.
Having pressed LSKL2, you now see page one
of three of your flight plan. Also note at the
top it indicates a modified flight plan (MOD
FLT PLAN). Once you press LSKR6 and
activate it, it will become your active flight

If you know your departure runway from
listening to ATIS, press LSKL6 and enter it.
Press LSKL2 for runway 06.
Now press LSKL6 to review your options.
Any SID or DP (Standard Instrument
Departure or Departure Procedures) will be
found here for your selection. A quick
review of the departure charts would come
in handy.
This screen will vary widely depending on
runway and airport. Here we have no
options other than to clear what we've
selected so far (useful if ATC changes your
departure runway on you unexpectedly), to
return to the prior screen or to insert
runway 06 into our flight plan with LSKR6.
And there is runway 06 listed as your Origin.Now either cancel with LSKL6 or activate
with LSKR6.
Had you not entered your departure
information earlier, LSKL6 would give you
the opportunity to do so from this screen.
Also you may always press PERF, and be
presented with a whole host of options from
which to choose. For now, press LSKR6 and
we'll initialize the performance information
so the bird knows how much fuel, passengersand cargo she'll be carrying, and how high.
Use the three OR buttons to access the page
to alter your climb, cruise and descent
speeds if you intend to have the FMC
manage your throttles during flight.
The "OR" button always alerts you
to further options available
Note this is page 1 of 3. You are okay
leaving this page as is. From here, click on
the NEXT button to access the next pages.
Page 2 of 3. When you see dashed lines, the
FMC would like you to enter information. In
this case, how much fuel do you wish to add
for your reserves? This is currently displayed
in pounds, but may be changed to kilograms.
Using the number pad, I've entered 6000
pounds of fuel set for reserve. They don't
refer to me as "Wrong Way" for nothing.Press LSKL2 to enter the fuel value. LSKR2
will give you further options, too.
Page 3 of 3, and an important one. Confirm
your transition altitude, which changes. The
United States uses FL180 (18,000 feet).
Other nations use lower levels. Enter the
appropriate level using LSKL1 by entering it
via number pad into the scratchpad, and
then press LSKL1. Your zero fuel weight is
entered the same way in LSKL6. Figure the
ZFW by subtracting the fuel weight from the
gross weight. Go to the menu bar,

figures. Once you enter this as above, the
remaining values will be auto filled for you.
You'll want to enter your anticipated cruise
altitude in the format 23000 into the scratch
pad, and then LSKR3.
Now here's a neat little trick you'll want toknow. Should you wish to "color outside the
lines" just a little, take advantage of the
included Fuel Manager.
By entering 'FUEL' into the scratchpad, and
then entering it via LSKR5, several items will
be calculated for you: Your fuel to
destination will be calculated, entered into
the FMC and loaded into your aircraft; Fuel
to an alternate destination will be
calculated, entered and loaded (providing
you've entered an alternate plan in the
FMC); Fuel for an average taxi and 3,200 lbs
of reserve fuel will be added and loaded;
your Zero Fuel Weight will be calculated and
added. Not exactly "real world", but youdon't have to use it.
Confirm your entries with LSKR6. Once
done, you're presented with the
Performance Data page option.
LSKR6 for the PERF DATA page.
Nothing to change here. Same for pages 2
and 3. Press LSKR6 for the Takeoff page.
Keyboard Entry button. A 'K' will appear in
the upper left to alert you.
Your keyboard will NOT transmit commands
to FS until you press it again!
Visit the Performance Index to jump to any
page you may need. Also note the blank key
beneath the FPL key. Press this for keyboardentry.
You may bypass pages 1 and 2. Here on
page 3 we are entering our takeoff V
Speeds. Refer to the V Speed charts for the
values. Entering is as usual: number keypad
to the scratchpad, then LSKL 1 for V1, LSKL2
for VR etc. Navigate to the Landing page,
and eventually you'll enter the landing
speeds the same way.
Thrust Rating Select (TRS)
Climb-1 is selected, highlighted in Green.
Click LSKR2 to select Climb-2
Click LSKR6 for manual thrust rating
selection options.
Pressing the TRS button brings you here.
The TRS automatically figures the engine
thrust according to the flight phase. Thismay also be selected manually, as will be
explained below.
In this screen shot, Thrust Rating is Auto in
Take Off (TO) phase. TLA TRIM is basically a
passenger comfort tool which reduces
excessive thrust lever movements. It is ON
whenever AT is engaged. It will work even if
the AT is disengaged if you have set it ON, as
in the above picture.

The FADEC transmits the thrust rating and
N1 values that are figured by the TRS to the
EICAS. This is demonstrated in this manual.
The thrust ratings that are transmitted by
the TRS are:
* Take Off (TO)* Go Around (GA)
* Climb-1 (CLB-1)
* Climb-2 (CLB-2)
* Cruise (CRZ)
* Continuous (CON)
Here you may set the TO thrust rate mode,
the TO temperature, the ATTCS ON or OFF
and FLEX TO mode. REF A/I is refers to anti-
ice. Here you may select OFF, ENG (engine
anti-ice) or ALL. When anti-ice is in the
AUTO position, you must choose one of these
three options.
The flexible take off options provide
reduced thrust based on assumedtemperature. This assumed temperature is
set on the MCDU TAKEOFF page. The FADEC
determines flexible takeoff rates for any of
the three take off modes, reducing the
thrust and reducing engine wear.
TO-1 is the highest thrust rating available
with both engines operating normally taking
into account the thrust levers at the TOGA
position.
TO-2 & TO-3 are limited thrust settings, as
described on the FMC window.
FLIGHT PLAN DISCONTINUITIESIn order to remove a discontinuity, you have
two choices:
* Push the DEL function key and then select
the scratchpad "DELETE" on the LSKL or R
key adjacent to the discontinuity, or -
* Press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint above the listed discontinuity. It
will appear in the scratch pad. Now press
the LSKL key adjacent to the discontinuity
and you will replace it with the waypoint
from the scratchpad.
FLYING DIRECT TOIf in the course of your flight you find the
need to fly to a waypoint other than the one
that is next in your flightplan, here is how
you do it:
Go to the Active Flt Plan page, as above,
and press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint to which you wish to fly. In this
case, LSKL2.
Here, I've pressed LSKL2 and entered GFL
into the scratchpad. Now, press LSKL1.
As you see, the flight plan indicates it is
modified (MOD FLT PLAN), and is telling you
the DIRECT waypoint will now be GFL. You
may either CANCEL your command with
LSKL6 or ACTIVATE it with LSKR6.
You know it has been accepted by the
'ACTIVE FLT PLAN' on top of the display.
INTERCEPT COURSE
We've been directed by ATC to fly heading
014 to intercept the 010 radial of GFL (Glens
Falls VOR). Nothing to it. We'll do the
Direct To into GFL, and then input 190 into
LSKR5 (INTC CRS).
We enter 190 as while the radial we're
directed to is 010, we've got to figure out
the reciprocal of the 010 heading as we're
on the "TO" side of the VOR. So, just add
180 degrees to the 10 degree heading, and
that gives you 190. The 190 radial is
actually the continuation of the 010 radial
on the opposite side (the side we happen to
be on). Now, take the 190 and enter it as
the INTERCEPT COURSE, and then ACTIVATE.
FMS must be the Nav source!
Another option to this scenario is to simplydial the requested radial (010) using the CRS
knob, tune the NAV 1 radio to the frequency
of the Glens Falls (GFL) VOR (110.2,
according to the default MS Map), and then
fly the requested heading (014). Ensure the
FMS is not the navigation source and press
the NAV button. The aircraft will turn to
follow the 010 outbound radial when it
crosses the inbound reciprocal (190). Cool,
eh?

FLYING PATTERNS
It is a simple matter to fly Holds, Procedure
Turns and Flyovers. We'll look at the most
common, Holds.
Press the NAV button to bring up the NAV
INDEX.
This is page 1 of 2. LSKR5 brings you to the
HOLD page. If you advance to page 2, LSKL2
will bring you to PATTERNS for HOLD,
FLYOVER and PCDR TURN.
Access HOLD from either page.
If there is no HOLD already in the flight
plan, *HOLD* appears in the scratchpad as
above. If there is a HOLD, select LSKL6 for
NEW HOLD.
Now, select the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint at which you wish to fly the HOLD.
I clicked LSKL3, TRIKY, at which to fly the
HOLD. Now I may choose to clear it or
insert it into the flight plan.
The flight plan has been modified (MOD),
and needs to be either canceled or
activated.
Now active, note the Green box around the
'H' next to waypoint TRIKY at LSKL3. Your
bird will automatically fly the HOLD. This isthe default HOLD. It could have been
modified as be low.
Any inbound course and/or turn direction at
LSKL2. Above, the entry is South (S) and
gives you a 'DIRECT' entry. Selecting N
automatically gives you a 'PARALLEL' entry, E
a 'TEARDROP' entry, and W a 'DIRECT' entry.
Holding at present position is achieved by
selecting the HOLD prompt from the NAVindex. Press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint on top of page 1 of the active
flightplan.
The HOLD FIX at LSKL1 is indicated as PPOS.
Note holding at present position may be
done only when LNAV is captured and the
crosstrack error is less than 0.25 NM.
A HOLD may be deleted from the active
flight plan. Go to the active flight plan page
showing the holding fix. Press the DEL key,
and *DELETE* appears in the scratchpad.

that has the 'H' in the Green box. This will
delete the HOLD but not the waypoint.
Exiting a HOLD is done, naturally, during the
HOLD. The ACTIVE FLT PLAN page will
display an EXIT prompt. If you press this
before crossing the holding fix, the HOLDpattern is deleted from the flight plan. If
you press EXIT after passing the waypoint
holding fix, you will turn back to the fix,
overfly it and continue with the flight plan.
You may also press the LSKL key adjacent to
RESUME HOLD.
Flyover and Procedure Turns are both done
in similar fashion.
