Flight Procedures

Disclaimer: The procedures outlined below are only a template that is applicable to most flights. You may need to adjust the flight procedures in certain scenarios in accordance to real-life restrictions, terrain, and/or weather conditions.

Climb Procedures

1) Make sure to select your first waypoint and set desired cruise altitude. Set V/S to 3000 fpm and speed to 230 kts. Set Flaps to 2 for Takeoff

2) Raise Flaps to 0 at 4000 ft AGL. Reduce V/S to 2400 fpm.

3) At 10000 ft, increase speed to 250 kts & reduce V/S to 2200 fpm.

4) At 18000 ft, increase speed to 270 kts & reduce V/S to 1800 fpm.

5) At 25000 ft, increase speed to 280 kts & reduce V/S to 1500 fpm.

6) At 30000 ft, set speed to Mach 0.76 & reduce V/S to 1000 fpm.

7) At cruise altitude, set speed to desired cruise speed & set V/S to 0000 fpm if necessary

Descent Procedures

1) Calculate T/D in advance. This can be done by subtracting the arrival elevation from your cruise FL, then multiplying that by 3 (e.g: for cruise FL320 with approximately 2000 ft arrival elevation, T/D will be 90 [(32-2)*3])

2) At 5 nautical miles away from T/D, reduce speed to Mach 0.76 & set V/S to -2400 fpm.

3) At T/D, descend to 4000 ft

4) At 30000 ft AGL , reduce speed to 280 kts & increase V/S to -2200 fpm

5) At 25000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 270 kts

6) At 18000 ft AGL, increase V/S to -1800 fpm

7) At 12000 ft, AGL reduce speed to 250 kts

8) At 10000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 240 kts

9) At 7000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 230 kts & increase V/S to -1500 fpm

10) At 5000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 210 kts & set flaps to 1

11) At 4000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 190 kts & set flaps to 2. Set V/S to -1200 fpm & hold altitude till 12 nautical miles.

12) At 12 nautical miles, descend to 0 ft AGL

13) At 3000 ft AGL, reduce speed to 170 kts & set flaps to 3

14) At 2500 ft AGL, reduce speed to 160 kts & set flaps to full. Lower landing gear.

15) Adjust V/S as necessary for approach at your discretion.

16) Prepare to disengage AP below 1000 ft
