User manual GAMES PC X-MEN-LEGENDS II-RISE OF APOCALYPSE

[. . . ] The FMC works in conjunction with the Autoflight system (AFDS) to allow complete management of lateral navigation (LNAV) and vertical navigation (VNAV). After programming the route of flight and all performance data into the FMC, the pilot can use the AFDS LNAV and VNAV functions exclusively to navigate the aircraft automatically without using manually tuned VORs and minimal use of the AFDS. When the AFDS is engaged in LNAV and/or VNAV mode, the primary instrument to control aircraft flight path becomes the FMC. After explaining the FMC unit we will explore the functions of the FMC by demonstrating a flight from KDFW to KLGA. [. . . ] Pressing the "EXIT HOLD>" prompt at the 6R LSK causes the FMC to finish the current holding pattern and then continue on to the next waypoint. The other way to exit a hold is to go direct to another waypoint in the LEGS page. It is also possible to skip and/or delete holds using normal legs page management techniques (discussed previously). © Wilco Publishing Page 58 of 108 767 Pilot in Command DEPARTURE/ARRIVAL Page In the route programming section of this manual, the use of the DEP ARR page to expedite route programming was demonstrated. Pressing the DEP ARR key displays different DEP ARR pages depending on aircraft position. If the aircraft is on the ground, the DEP ARR INDEX page is displayed. If the aircraft is in flight and less than half way to the destination airport, the departure airport arrivals page is displayed. If the aircraft is more than half way to the destination, the destination airport arrivals page is displayed. Before we proceed, there is some important information about the SID/STAR/APP database that you must know about. The FMC comes with a limited number of standard procedures already programmed into the database. If you access the DEP/ARR INDEX pages for your favorite airports and find there is no data, this is not a bug in the program. This means that no procedures are stored in the database. When the LEGS page is displayed, a discontinuity in the route is presented because FAK is not on the original route. To close the discontinuity, line select FAK into the scratchpad (by pressing the 3L LSK) and then press the 2L LSK to join the routes. APPROACH/RUNWAY Selection Not all airports utilize a STAR for arrivals. However, all airports utilize some type of approach and runway for arrival. Selection of an arrival procedure and/or an arrival runway is also done using the DEP ARR page. Along the right side of the ARRIVAL page are available APPROACHES and RUNWAYS for the destination airport. Selection of an approach procedure automatically selects the arrival runway. If an approach procedure is not being used, selection of a runway below the RUNWAY header places a runway symbol on the EHSI for reference. © Wilco Publishing Page 60 of 108 767 Pilot in Command Selection of an approach procedure is exactly the same as selecting a STAR. Find the approach to be flown along the right side column and press the adjacent LSK to select it. If the approach procedure has transitions available, they are presented after selection of the approach. Selection of a transition is not mandatory. [. . . ] Notice how we programmed the LEGS page logically so that all transition waypoints are grouped together for easy cutting and pasting. Once all of the transitions have been removed and saved separately, the basic STAR is left that can be re-saved to contain only the common STAR waypoints. Just as with the SID file creation, we open the "KRDU-SBV5. wst" file using Windows Notepad. We also open up a second instance of Notepad that is blank. [. . . ]
