[. . . ] The figures here are conservative and assume: Weight: 550, 000 lb (249, 476 kg) Altitude: sea level Wind: no headwind Temperature: 15° C Lower weights and temperatures will result in better performance, as will having a headwind component. Higher altitudes and temperatures will degrade performance. Engine Startup Reverse thrust is not recommended at any time during taxiing of the 777-300. The taxiing technique in the 777 is to allow the airplane to accelerate itself at idle. In other words, unless the aircraft is heavily loaded, idle power will move the plane from a stop into taxi speed. If you need a little power to get it rolling, be conservative. Then bring the thrust levers back to idle. Airplane response to thrust lever movement is slow, particularly at high gross weights. Avoid taxi speeds greater than 30 kts at idle thrust. Brake to approximately 10 kts, and then release the brakes. The airplane appears to be moving slower than it actually is due to its height above the ground. The Triple Seven is a long airplane (in fact, the stretch 777 is currently the longest commercial airplane in the world), and the wheels are a long way behind the pilot's seat. One real-world pilot's technique for taxiing onto a runway with the 777 is to taxi towards the opposite side of the runway until his seat The engines are running by default when you begin a flight. If you shut the engines down, it is possible to initiate an autostartup sequence by pressing CTRL+E on your keyboard. Aircraft Handbook | 55 BOEING is over the grass on the far side. Then he turns the tiller (nose gear steering) hard so that the nose comes around to the runway centerline. In Flight Simulator, rudder pedals (twist the joystick, use the rudder pedals, or press 0 [left] or ENTER [right] on the numeric keypad) are used for directional control during taxiing. Avoid stopping the 777 during turns, as excessive thrust is required to get moving again. Takeoff V1, approximately 149 kts indicated airspeed (KIAS), is decision speed. Above this speed, it may not be possible to stop the aircraft on the runway in case of a rejected takeoff (RTO). At Vr, approximately 153 KIAS, smoothly pull the stick (or yoke) back to raise the nose to 10 degrees above the horizon at approximately 2 degrees per second. At V2, approximately 160 KIAS, the aircraft has reached its takeoff safety speed. This is the minimum safe flying speed if an engine fails. Hold this speed until you get a positive rate of climb. As soon as the aircraft is showing a positive rate of climb on liftoff (both vertical speed and altitude are increasing), retract the landing gear (press G, or drag the landing gear lever). [. . . ] If you're using these speeds as reference, be sure that you have the Aircraft Realism Settings set to "Display Indicated Airspeed. " Speeds listed in the performance tables are shown as true airspeeds. The Camel is capable of taking off and landing on any runway in Flight Simulator. Engine Startup The engine is running by default when you begin a flight. If you shut the engine down, you can initiate an auto-startup sequence by pressing CTRL+E. Taxiing Flaps The Sopwith Camel doesn't have flaps. Takeoff Taxiing in the Camel requires you to make S-turns in order to see where you're going. As you move down the taxiway, turn the nose right and left to see ahead of you while taxiing by using the rudder (twist the joystick, use the rudder pedals, or press 0 [left] or ENTER [right] on the numeric keypad). Once aligned with the runway centerline, apply power smoothly (press F3 for incremental increase, F4 for full throttle on the keyboard, or move the throttle on your joystick). As the airplane begins moving down the runway, push forward on the stick until the tail comes up. [. . . ]
