![]() ![]() Ensure the nose is pointing up ( ~ 5 degrees).Make sure you always have enough flaps (25).not much should happen but this will tell the autopilot to LOC to the ILS localiser. When you hit the waypoint APP-4, click on "APP" on the autopilot. One thing you can also do now is set the autobreaks, I usually set them to 2 (todo: screenshot) You'll have to move your flaps down to about 15 (todo: some more details on this). Gradually lower the autopilot's speed until you are at about 170 kt. We can use this level flight to lose more speed. When you reach 2500 ft at 230 kts the plane will level off and will stick to this altitude as long as we don't get into our glideslope. When at about 50 nm of the next waypoint, in your autopilot set the altitude to 2500 ft.Ĭlick on "FLCH" to actually start the descend.Īt around 10000 ft I like to reduce my speed to 230 kt. For NAV1 fill set the frequency to 111.75.In order to land, we need to configure our radio (NAV1) to listen to the ILS frequency of the landing runway (16L). Here comes a screenshot to see the waypoints in the cockpit, the distance, GS. (see Equipment > Map, and your cockpit display as well) you'll notice the plane banks and sets you on course for the next waypoint. This should all happen automatically, once we hit our Waypoint. Which will then automatically move you up to the set altitude (16000 ft). The climb should just be happening now with the autopilot, but what I like to do, even though it's probably incorrect is click on the autopilot's "FLCH" (flight level change) button. Make sure you also engage the Autothrottle (A/T).When above 400 ft, angage the autopilot.Keep your vertical speed to about 3000 fpm.Move the flaps back to 0 (click [ twice).As soon as you're in the air and the aircraft is climbing, retract the gear (G). ![]() At about 160 kt and 180 kt you can move the Yoke backwards which should lift you off the ground.Keep your airplane on the runway while it speeds up.Move the Yoke a little bit forward (so the nose pushes down a little bit while you gain speed).That should be about it, now, when you are above 400 ft after take off, you'll be able to click the "AP" button to activate the autopilot. Set these settings in the 3D Cockpit (although they also work in the dialog) Select KSFO (default runway) as your departure location.Select the Boeing 777-200 as your aircraft.The reason for this shut-down was not disclosed, but everything is back to normal now. The day before, the 777-200, which was headed for KSMF, was diverted to KSFO because all runways at KSMF were shut-down. Our mission will be to fly the large but empty 777-200 airliner from San Fransico International Airport (KSFO) to Sacramento International Airport (KSMF). The flight for this tutorial will be short for a 777-200, but it doesn't have to be pointless. If you haven't even been able to take off with a cessna, take a look at the FlightGear Manual first.You have to know the basic FlightGear controls to fly an airplane manually.We will only use things that are installed by default. ![]()
