I NTRODUCTI ON 3

Welcome to this tutorial of the brand new Wilco/Feelthere Embraer 145 version 2!

This tutorial has been adapted from the previous version of the aircraft which is still available for download on www.flytutorial.com. It is targeted for experienced
users of flight simulation as it describes advanced functions and techniques of flight management. Beginners can however use this tutorial, as long as they refer
to the manual provided by the software publishing company.

The Embraer 145 is a fantastic regional jet that has been widely used throughout the world. Almost 1,000 aircraft based on the ERJ 145 platform have been
delivered, to over 860 airlines, logging over 10 million cumulative flight hours. Today the ERJ 145 Regional Jet family carries more than 150,000 passengers
every day in emerging and established markets around the world.

For more information about Embraer company, visit their website: http://www.embraercommercialjets.com

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the ERJ145 model to carry out a successful short flight from Casablanca, Morocco to Malaga, Spain.

Lets start working!

The first step is to configure our aircraft using the Configurator tool available
from the Windows start button as illustrated here.

Click on Configuration to open the Configuration Panel. We will now review
the different tabs that require adjustments.

*

Load Manager tab

Click on the Load Manager tab. This is where most adjustments need to be
made for our flight:

Select the ERJ-145LR aircraft variation

Move the Passengers selector to 45 3.878 kilos

Move the Cargo selector to 75% - 766 kilos

Change the weight unit to Metric(KG)

_____________________________________________

This should give us a Zero Fuel Weight of 17.373 kilos.

Note : this tutorial is referring to the metric system. You can use Imperial
weight unit as well. You will just need to make the conversion from kilos
FS AND AI RCRAFT CONFI GURATI ON 9

Additional modules

To enhance the flight simulation experience, you will be glad to hear that the
Embraer 145 is compatible with most hardware add-ons available on the
market. Here are a few examples of modules that can be used with this
aircraft.

The CDU II from Vrinsight is particularly useful and realistic and it simulates a
standard FMS with a full keyboard. It requires some adjustments though as it
does not work in full screen mode with FS9 and the screen needs to be
reworked to fit the EMB145 FMS.

FLI GHT PREPARATI ON THE BRI EFI NG ROOM 1 1

www.andalus.es

Welcome to the Briefing Room!

Before boarding the aircraft this morning, we are going to review the latest
airport information, departure and arrival procedures and charts as well as
specific details about our flight.

Today we are flying 45 PAX and 700 kilos of cargo from GMMN Casablanca
Morocco to LEMG Malaga Spain. A short flight of approximately 266 miles.

The airline

You are flying today for Andalus, a young Spanish airline originating from
Malaga, Andaluca which is a one of the largest autonomous community of
Spain. As you can see from the destination map, Andalus mostly fly from Spain
to Morocco located in Northern Africa. It also operates flight to the island of
Palma de Mallorca and Portugal. Andalus operates an exclusive fleet of
Embraer 145.

Today aircraft is EC-KXQ, flight number 6201. The route Casablanca
Malaga has proven to be very popular for expats and families especially during
holiday times. It is also used by local businessmen who appreciate the fast
point to point connection between Spain and one of the most important city of
Morocco.

For more information about these regions, visit http://www.andalucia.org/ and
http://www.morocco.com/


Fuel planning

Download and Install the excellent FlitePrep Suite from Jetvision.de.
This tool is great to calculate fuel quantities as well as Speed references for
take off and landing.

Run the program and enter the following values:

- Origin: GMMN
- Dest: LEMG
- Altn: LEGR (Granada is our alternate airport)
- Pax: 45
- Cgo: 766
- Outside External Temperature (OAT): Set to 10C/50F

The remaining values should be calculated automatically.

This is a giving us an estimated 2465 kilos

We will not use this tool during the flight, so we must now write down the
following values that will be needed to feed the FMS:

The tool is also providing us with the take-off and landing speeds but we will
use the table on the next page to do so.

Speed reference table

Here is a condensed version of the speed table for the Embraer 145.

We will use the first four columns of speed for take-off and the last four for
landing, the one in the middle is therefore used for both sequence of flight.

Our take off weight today is expected to be 19.645 kilos or 19.6 tons. The
closest reference here is 19.5. The line colour has been changed to red for
better reading. We will adjust the speeds once fully loaded with fuel, passenger
and cargo cross checked.

Our landing weight is expected to be 18.555 kilos, so our closest reference
here is 18.5 tons. The line colour has been changed in blue for better reading.
If in doubt regarding our exact landing weight, we could also refer to the
speeds for 19 tons.


Route planning

Connect to routefinder - http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ and complete the
required information:

Departure : GMMN
Destination : LEGM

Database cycle : 0911

Tick the box 'Ease transitions'

Leave the other options and press Find Route you should get your
computed route such as illustrated on the left. The important information we
will need is the line at the bottom containing the waypoints and routes we will
manually enter into the FMS of the aircraft.

AIRAC cycles change every month. What this means is
that you may end up with a different route for the
same departure and destination airports.
The good news is you can still fly this tutorial even if you
dont have the latest cycle.
Just make sure you select the relevant cycle on
routefinder and then print or make a note of the route
result.

You only need the last line circled in red on the left.


Weather forecasts

The latest weather bulletin available on Vroute is excellent. Although
a cold front is making its way towards Central Europe, no major
weather disturbance is of significant importance for our short haul
today.

Connect to www.vroute.net to get the latest
weather updates.

Airport information

Our parking stand at GMMN will be E9. It is facing the future terminal
2 which is currently being built. E9 does not require any push back so
the aircraft will be ready to go as soon as the passengers have
boarded and all procedures completed.

Review and download official Morocco PDF
charts from http://www.sia-aviation.gov.ma/


Taxiing from our parking stand to runway 35R should be nice and easy. We will follow instructions from the tower.


GMMN SID

GMMN SID AGDAL G5 TOLSI UG5 KORIS UL27 VJF STAR
LEMG

We expect a departure on runway 35R with a AGDAL 1D
SID to the north east to our first waypoint AGDAL. We will
fly east of Casablanca, with a nice view for those
passengers sitting on the left side of the cabin.

We will climb to NUA then right 40to ARDOM. From
ARDOM, follow RDL 014VOR/BRC until DME 40 BRC
then RDL 31 VOR/CBA to AGDAL. Flight level by
ATC.

Transition altitude is unusually low: 3300 feet!

Review and download official
Morocco PDF charts from
http://www.sia-aviation.gov.ma/


En Route

GMMN SID AGDAL G5 TOLSI UG5 KORIS UL27 VJF STAR LEMG

From AGDAL, we will follow route G5 taking us to TOLSI, ROMSO,
KORIS and VEJER (VJF).


VEJER Arrival

From VEJER, we expect a runway 13 landing. We will
therefore follow STAR VJF1L or equivalent with MAR
transition.

Review and download full PDF charts
from Aena

www.aena.es

ILS runway 13 landing

Should we land on runway 13, we must remember to set the ILS to a course of
134and set the frequency to 109.50 GMM.

The area around Malaga is far from being flat, therefore our minimum
approach altitude coming from Vejer is 5500 feet.

Several speed restrictions are enforced:

- MAX 250 KT at or below FL120.
- Reduce to 210 KT at the beginning of final turn to intercept the ILS LOC
course, when ACFT is located within 20 NM of THR.
- 180 KT when crossing 12 NM from THR.
- 160 KT when crossing GM Locator.

At 22 DME ILS, we will reduce altitude to 5000 feet. At 17 DME ILS, down to
4200 feet. We will intercept the glide slope - in Approach mode - at 12 DME
ILS. This will take us down smoothly until the runway threshold.

Our briefing is now complete!

Review and download full PDF charts from Aena

GETTI NG ON BOARD! 2 1

Now the serious stuff begins!

Start Flight Simulator as usual then create a new flight.

Step 1 is selecting the aircraft Choose Embraer Feelthere and the
ERJ-145LR v2. Select the Andalus variation.

Step 2 is selecting the airport. Choose GMMN or Mohamed V located in
Casablanca city. Select Gate E9 Gate Medium.

Remember it is recommended that you install the Aerosoft scenery of
Casablanca. If you dont have this scenery installed, you may use the standard
FS scenery and choose an alternate parking stand.

Step 3 is selecting the weather. We will fly this tutorial using the real-
world weather conditions which should give us a more realistic situation.
Make sure you have an Internet connection to use this weather mode;
otherwise you will get regular annoying error messages from Flight Simulator.

If you are not familiar with flying with potential bad condition or just want a
more calm flight, choose Fair Weather from the Weather Themes.

The real-world weather option is making the weather changing all the time,
especially the winds so bear in mind that your flight may not be exactly the
same as this one demonstrated in this tutorial.

Step 4 is Time and Season. This flight was made on the 7
th
of
November 2009 at 11:55 local time.


Final result should look like this, with all 4 criteria populated, aircraft, location,
weather and time/season.

Review your options then press Fly Now! to start.

HELLO CAPTAIN!

OK, we are now sitting in the cockpit into the left captain seat!

The cockpit should be cold and dark, no noise and nothing lit. The first good
news is that you will find this cockpit easy to familiarize with, Embraer has
made life easy for you and unlike older birds such as the MD82 for example,
everything here is rational and information is kept to a minimum, the Embraer
170 cockpit is certainly not a Xmas tree!

First thing you should notice is the small click-spot panel located on the top
left part of the screen. We will mostly use the first four buttons: Thrust,
Pedestal, Overhead and FMS


Make sure your parking brake is set. Open the Pedestal panel
and check the parking brake lever position (horizontal=parking brake is
set).

Open the PAX doors Shift + E and the cargo doors Shift + E
+ 2

Switch to external view S key - to take advantage of the very nice
textures of this new version! You can also visually check that both the
main door at the front and the cargo door at the rear are open.

OK, now it's time to get back to our cockpit and bring life to the aircraft !

Once done, your upper panel should now look like this one
illustrated here: all lights are off -black panel logic except the
GPU which light indicates that external power is available.

One thing to remember: DARK AND QUIET COCKPIT

The concept used to design and operate the airplane was based
on the assumption that while in flight, all systems are normal
when:
Overhead, main, glare shield and control pedestal
panels have no lights on.
No aural warnings are being issued.
The selector knobs are positioned at twelve oclock.
A white striped bar illuminates on any button to indicate that it is
not in its normal position.

Close the upper panel to return to the main panel.

Disable the audio alarm by clicking on the alert indicator
amber button


At this stage, all systems are powering up and it may take a while before the aircraft is fully operational. Amongst other things, the IRS system will need some
time to align. Lets take advantage of this time to quickly go through the main systems of our flight deck.

Systems not yet initialized: Systems initialized:

O PFD - Primary Flight Display - on which you can find
the EADI Electronic Altitude Direction Indication
on top and the EHSI Electronic Horizontal Situation
Indicator at the bottom.

O MFD - Multi Function Display

O RMU - Radio Management Unit

O EICAS - Engine Indication and Crew Alerting
System

O DCP : Display Control Panel

O FGC - Flight Guidance Control on which you can
find the FD flight director the AP Auto Pilot

Make sure all systems have been
properly initialized and IRS aligned,
before getting into any further action.
ATT Fail and HDG Fail red
indications on the PFD and MFD
should go off once all systems are
ready.

FMS PROGRAMMI NG 2 8

FMS Programming

It is now time to move to one of the most important phase of flight: FMS
programming. Basically, this consists of programming our route from our
departure to arrival, including SID and STAR procedures and determining
several parameters of flight such as performance, speeds, altitudes and
constraints.

Press the little FMS icon to open the Flight Management System

The Embraer 145 FMS is quite a simplified version compared to those
standard systems found on Boeing or Airbus for example. However, you
should quickly find your way round here if you are familiar with those.

In this tutorial, we will refer to 1L to 4L for keys to the left side, and 1R to 4R
for keys to the right side.

The scratchpad is the area where input text and numbers will be displayed

The Function keys will enable us to navigate between the major sections of
the FMS.

In case of typing mistakes, press CLR key at the bottom. The DEL key enables
to delete a whole line such as a navigation point we will use this later on.

change these values for our
flight.

Press to move to
page 3.

B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6

Page 3 would enable us to
modify fuel reserve according to
various regulations. We will not
change anything here.

Press to move to
page 4.

Page 4 should look like this one
once both changes done.

Press to move to
page 5.

Two changes need to be made
on this page: Transition altitude
which is 3300 feet at GMMN and
Cruise altitude. We will fly today
at 26000 feet.
Type 3300 then press 1L

This is the weight page. Very
important!

We must input the passenger,
fuel, and cargo weight so that
the FMS can calculate the Gross
Weight of the aircraft.


Set the number of
passengers, type 45 then 1R

Check that the passenger weight
under 2R is calculated
automatically.


Regarding fuel weight, we need to manually adjust the fuel quantity in Flight
Simulator, assuming the refuelling team on the ground has completed its job!

Go to Aircraft / Fuel and
payload menu then click on
Change Fuel.

Tick the box Display fuel
quantity as weight then enter
48% for both the left and right
tank. Click OK

The Fuel Gauge should now read
the current fuel load which 2480.

This should give us a fuel weight
of 2482 kilos which is just a bit
more than what we calculated
during the briefing was 2465
kilos.

Click OK to return to the
simulator.

Type the fuel quantity as
indicated into brackets here
2480 - then press 2L to enter the
value.

If you cannot see the
weight in kilos, you need to
adjust FS settings and choose
Metric (altimeter in feet) as
Units of measure from the
Settings / International option.

Finally, enter the cargo
weight which is 766 then press
3L.

Once all values are completed,
the FMS is giving us a gross
weight of 19.820 kilos.

To confirm the weight
values, press 4R CONFIRM INIT.

Press to move to
page 3.
We could enter the cruise wind
direction and speed here to
refine the performance data but
we will leave the options as
default.

The FMS is now taking us to the
PERFORMANCE DATA section.
Note that we have a message at
the bottom of the screen asking
us to CHECK RESERVE FUEL.
We will deal with this later. On
page 1, we have an estimated 45
minutes to complete our flight
in green- and 1.2 ton of fuel
required in blue.

Press to move to
page 2. The distance to complete
the flight is indicated here in
green 267 miles. Fuel
remaining and gross weight upon

Press several times
until reaching page 6.

Our FMS programming is now
complete !

Close the FMS window.


Before moving to the engine start-up sequence, we still need to perform 2 extra actions: set up the take off speeds and adjust the engine take off data.

On the MFD, press B2 MFD. MFD becomes SPDS.

press B2 SPDS again.

We need to set up 4 speeds:

- V1 magenta is the ultimate speed at which we can decide to abort take off.
- VR blue is when we can rotate and take off.
- V2 white is when we reach our safety speed to take off,
- AP green is the speed at which flaps can be fully retracted.

Using the reference speed table on page 13, we now have the values matching
a take off weight of 19.5 tons: 132 / 136 / 138 /167

Click on B3 - V1 to select the first speed. A white frame must appear
around V1.

Rotate the jog dial as circled in orange to select V1 - 132 knots.

Repeat this operation for VR, V2 et AP by entering the right speed for
each value.

Check on the PFD that the speed tape is showing the reference speed as
illustrated here.

Once completed, press B1 - RTN to return to the initial page of the MFD.


In order to set up the engine take off data, open the overhead panel.
Locate the take off data section and identify the Store button O and the Set
button O.

Press the store button once to select takeoff mode. Check on the MFD for
a little white triangle next to T/O MODE which means the line is now selected.

We will not change the T/O mode option for this flight.

Press the store button once again to move to REF TO TEMP. Here we
need to adjust our temperature to 10C.

Rotate the set button O to the left to decrease temperature until correct
reading is displayed on the MFD.

Press the store button once again to move to REF A-ICE section. We will
not use anti ice for this flight so nothing to change here.

Finally, press the store button once again to validate the changes. You
know the sequence is complete when the little white triangle goes off.

We are now ready to start the engines. Before doing so:

Make sure your parking brake is still set.

Close all doors using Shift + E for main door and SHIFT + E + 2 for cargo.
Check the MFD: all doors must be green.

As soon as airborne, retract the landing gears.

Press CLB thrust mode to reduce thrust. Check on the EICAS that CRZ
is displayed in cyan.

At 1500 feet, engage AP, NAV and FLC modes.

Check on the PFD that the modes are correctly engaged: LNAV and CLB
should be the active mode, ASEL is the vertical standby mode.

The aircraft is now flying by herself, except for speed.

Completely retract the flaps when passing the green AP speed which is
167 knots. Check on the EICAS that the Flap indicator reads 0.
CLI MBI NG 5 1

At 3.300 feet you will hear the co-pilot say "transition altitude"

Press the two STD buttons both on the PFD and the standby altimeter to
switch to standard pressure (2992). Check that 29.92 appear in cyan on both
displays.

Increase the altitude to 10000 feet when reaching 4000 feet by rotating the
ASEL knob.

Failure to increase altitude will cause the autopilot to disengage the
FLC when reaching the altitude indicated on the PFD. Remember to reengage
the FLC mode in case it disconnects, otherwise the aircraft will stop climbing.

Press B5 WX O on the MFD to display the weather radar. Check that the

altimeters to 29.92 standard afterwards

Passing ARDOM, you should be approaching 10.000 feet

Increase altitude to 26.000 feet so that the aircraft can carry on climbing.

Let's take a few minutes to analyze what the PFD is telling us at this stage:

The pink/magenta colour is telling us the active navigation mode is FMS. The
next waypoint BRC28 will be reached in 10.6 nm. Our ground speed is 261
knots. We are climbing to 26,000 feet at 2.400 feet/minute. The lateral active
navigation mode is LNAV, the vertical active navigation mode is CLB or climb.
The armed vertical mode is ASEL or Altitude Selection, which is 26.000 feet.
There is no armed lateral mode. The autopilot AP- is ON, The Yaw Damper
YD- is ON.

Passing 10.000 feet, switch the seat belt and landing lights OFF.

During climb, open the FMS, press then to go to page 2 to
monitor time remaining and distance before cruising.

In this example, we will reach Top of Climb TOC- in 11 minutes or 36.4
nautical miles. The Top of Descent TOD will take place in 26 minutes or
148.8 nm which means that our cruise will be very short today: 15 minutes
only!

CLI MBI NG 5 3

Between AGDAL and TOLSI, the indication TOC is visible on the MFD map
view.

Passing 25.000 feet, a buzz will be heard and the altitude indicator on the PFD
will turn yellow. This is to let us know that the Altitude SELection will be
reached in less than 1.000 feet.

The aircraft is going to level off automatically and maintain the altitude. The
vertical mode will switch from CLB to ALT. The altitude will de displayed in
cyan once reached.

Autopilot vertical modes: FLC and VS
In this type of aircraft, FLC mode is generally used for climbing
up to 10,000 feet. This mode automatically adjusts vertical
speed to maintain a maximum air speed of 250 kts. Passing
10,000 feet, FLC mode will adjust vertical speed to reach Mach
0.56. VS mode is used when constant vertical speed is required
- 2,000 feet / minute for example.
In case of turbulence, it is best to use VS instead of FLC
mode.

CRUI SE 5 4

Change thrust mode to CRUISE. EICAS should display CRZ

Rotate the speed SPD knob to read 75M in cyan on the PFD. Let the
aircraft accelerate and slightly reduce thrust when reached.

Change TCAS to NORMAL and range 40nm.

Adjust the weather radar range to 50 nm

Check the range on the MFD. 50 should be read. Here, we can also see that
the weather WX- mode is active and the radar is tilted down 2.5 degrees.

On this page, we can see that we
will fly the cruising altitude at
least until VJF, then start descent
to reach an estimate 8.267 feet at
MAR, then continue descending
to DME22 at 5.500 feet.

Press to go to page

Once the flight plan checked, it is
important to return to the current
waypoint by pressing RTN
several times until the aircraft is
back to its current position.

Page 3 is in accordance and
consistent with the rest of the
flight plan, so we dont need to
change the altitude levels here.


Passing KORIS, the next waypoint VEJER is quite near, only 4 minutes
to get to it. From the MFD, we can see that the TOD will be reached just
after VEJER.

Turn the ASEL knob of the FGC to select 10.000 feet. Check the
ASEL value in blue on the PFD.

The aircraft will not descent before reaching the TOD.

In preparation for landing, rotate the Decision Height knob to set a
value of 500 feet. Check on the PFD that the value is correctly set.

Passing VEJER, the TOD is very close.

You can check the exact TOD moment by opening page 2 of the FMS
PROGRESS section.


At TOD, a little pink triangle will appear on the PFD as illustrated here.

Run the BEFORE DESCEND check list from Call!

FMS/RMS SPEED SETTING .... ON

Press FLC on the FGC so that the aircraft start descending.

Check the active mode on the PFD: ALT should become DES. ASEL is the
armed mode. In this example, the aircraft will therefore descent until reaching
10.000 feet.

The little pink triangle should ideally stay in the middle of the vertical scale
area. If the triangle goes down, we are not descending fast enough, if it
goes up, we are descending too fast.

It may be useless to attempt to manually adjust
the vertical speed if the little pink triangle goes
out of range either up or down. For optimal
descent path, refer to speed calculation tables.

Set TCAS to BELOW mode for descent, with a range of 20 nautical miles

We are now going to enter our approach and landing speeds, using the
estimated landing weight given by the FMS.

Open the FMS, press then 1L PERF DATA then and
check the GROSS WT value 18.7 tons in our example.

Using the speed reference table on page 13, enter the approach speeds
on the MFD. Press B2 - MFD then press B2 - SPD

V1 = 127 / Optimal Approach Speed.
VR = 137 / Reference Speed for landing with flaps 45.
V2 = 154 / TO/GA security speed with flaps 9.
AP = 163 / Landing Speed Target

OVERSPEED! OVERSPEED!

While descending, continuously adjust throttles to avoid over speed aural
warnings.

In case the aircraft is not descending fast enough, press VS mode on the FGC
and increase the vertical speed by rotating the SPD button. In this example,
the vertical speed is set to 2,600 feet / minute.

Increasing the vertical speed will also increase the air speed of the
aircraft. Always compensate by reducing thrust if necessary to lower
speed.


We are now going to set the ILS frequency for runway 13 in preparation for
landing. There are several ways to do this and we will use the FMS.

Open the FMS, press then 4R - TUNE

Type 109.50 which is the ILS frequency for LEMG Runway 13 then insert
it into NAV1 by pressing 3L.

Check on the RMU that 109.50 is active.


Approaching MAR, reduce Altitude to 5.000 feet. Check that the active
vertical mode is still engaged DES should be displayed in green on the
PFD.

The current altitude is 11.460 feet on this screenshot. At 10.000 feet, we
must not exceed 250 knots!

Start reducing the speed in advance by reducing the throttles

From the overhead panel, switch the Seat Belt and the Landing lights

The appendix introduce the advanced features of the FMS.

The following pages are not directly referring to the flight of this tutorial. They have been taken from the previous version of the Emb 145 tutorial. However, they
can fully be adapted to any flight situations.

Appendix A Saving a Flight Plan
Appendix B Modifying a saved Flight Plan
Appendix C Adding missing waypoints to the Nav. database
Appendix D Creating a STAR procedure
Appendix E Adding and flying HOLD procedures

APPENDI X A Savi ng a Fl i ght Pl an 7 5

In this example, we will create the following flight plan: Paris Orly LFPO -> Perpignan Rivesaltes LFMP

LFPO SID TURBO DCT BADAM UY27 SIJAN STAR LFMP

Open up the FMS and press 4R
POS INIT

Press 1L FPL LIST. Here is
the list of the saved flight plans. In
this case, SIDSIJAN is the only one
in the memory of our FMS.

Press 2R - LOAD

Type the name of the flight plan
we want to create, I suggest using
the names of the airports, eg LFPO-
LFMP:

Press

Press 1L to enter our flight plan.

APPENDI X A Savi ng a Fl i ght Pl an 7 6

Type in the different waypoints:
TURBO, BADAM and then
UY27.SIJAN. Refer to earlier pages
of the tutorial for full procedure on
how to type in waypoints.

Lets check now that the flight
plan has been saved properly.

Press then 1L FPL
LIST

You should see our new flight
plan listed as illustrated here.

Press 4R FPL SEL

Press 1R - ACTIVATE

Our flight plan is now active.

APPENDI X B Modi f yi ng a saved Fl i ght Pl an 7 7

In this example, we are going to modify the LFPO-LFMP flight plan that we created earlier. We want to remove BADAM waypoint from it.

Start with displaying the flight plan list (refer to previous section for exact procedure).

Press 2L to select the flight plan
LFPO-LFMP then 1L to load it into
the FMS.

Press 4R - FPL SEL then 1R
ACTIVATE

Press DEL on the
keyboard of the FMS then 3L-
BADAM.

BADAM waypoint is now deleted.

Press 4R - YES to save the
modifications or alternatively 4L - NO
to cancel the changes.

APPENDI X C Addi ng mi ssi ng waypoi nt s t o t he Nav. dat abase 7 8

You may have to manually add waypoints from time to time as not every one of them is stored in the Navdata file of the FMS, especially if you want to create SID
or STAR procedures. In this example, we want to add a new waypoint which location is:

North 4246.55 - East 253.57

Open up the FMS then press
4R POS INIT.

Press function key.

Press 2R - LOAD

Press 2L WPT LIST

APPENDI X C Addi ng mi ssi ng waypoi nt s t o t he Nav. dat abase 7 9

In this example, several waypoints
have already been created.

Lets give a name to the waypoint we
are now creating:

Type in FIX01 then press 1L

Press 4L to get back to the
waypoint list. Repeat this
procedure to add any extra
waypoint.

We now need to enter its location:

Type in exactly
N4246.5E00253.6 then press 2L

46.55 has been rounded to 46.5.
Same thing for 53.57 that has been
rounded to 53.6 this is a
requirement for this FMS.

A new file is created every time
you add a new waypoint. These
small files are stored in the Flight
Simulator 9 / Feelthere /
CustomDB folder as illustrated
here.

It is best to backup these files in a safe place just in case you encounter a problem or overwriting of these files

APPENDI X D Creat i ng a STAR procedure 8 0

In this example, we are going to create the STAR SIJAN procedure for runway 33 of Perpignan Airport. At the time of writing this tutorial, this procedure does not
exist in the NavData so its a good example and can virtually be adapted to any other SID / STAR procedure you might want to create.

Important : you must read the appendix C in order to fully understand whats coming next.


1st step: Get the geographical location of STAR waypoints.

We will use FSNavigator www.fsnavigator.com - to generate a flight plan from SIJAN waypoint to the STAR procedure for runway 33:

2
nd
step: Waypoint creation

Refer to the previous chapter to create the different waypoints that will enable
us to build up our STAR procedure. In this example, we will need to create the
following waypoints:

FSNavigator
name
FMS
Suggested
name
Location
FMS format to
type in
Fix01 SIJ01 N4242.67
E00304.57
N4242.7E00304.6
Fix02 SIJ02 N4241.50
E00305.86
N4241.5E00305.8
Fix03 SIJ03 N4239.04
E00305.52
N4239E00305.5
Fix04 SIJ04 N4237.57
E00303.88
N4237.6E00303.9
Fix05 SIJ05 N4236.41
E00300.31
N4236.4E00300.3
Fix06 SIJ06 N4239.26
E00256.74
N4239.3E00256.7


Always name your waypoints in a sensible way so that you will find them easily when yo need them. Here I chose the first 3 letters of the name of SIJAN STAR
followed by an order number.

3rd step: STAR procedure construction using the flight plan saving facility.

We are now going to create a new flight plan that will not start and end with an airport name but instead navaids or waypoints.

Display the flight plan page (refer
to previous section on how to it).

Type in the first waypoint as
ORIGIN which is SIJAN.

Type in the name of the STAR -
STARSIJAN for exemple.

Press 1L

Press 1L

Type the arrival waypoint which
PL NDB and press 2R


The FMS found 3 entries matching PL.

Press 2L again to copy SIJ01 into
the scratchpad.

Press CLR key once on the FMS
keyboard to delete the 1 and end with
SIJ0 then type in 2 to make it SIJ02

Press 1L to select Perpignan PL.

Press 3L to add SIJ02 to the flight
plan.

Repeat this procedure to type in all our
waypoints. You should get several
pages at the end.
Press 4R

Type in the name of the first
waypoint we created for this procedure
which is SIJ01

Press 2L


Press 1L to AC TIVATE our
flight plan

The flight plan is now listed with
different colours.

Press NAV of the FMS then
1L FLP LIST

Check the list of flight plans to
make sure that STARSIJAN we
have just created is listed.

APPENDI X E Addi ng and f l yi ng HOLD procedures 8 5

You can easily add a HOLD procedure to your flight plan. You can either do this on the ground while entering your flight plan or later while en route.

The procedure to follow is fairly simple. In this example, we will load the existing STARSIJAN flight plan that we created previously and we will add a HOLD
procedure at SIJ01 waypoint, which is FIX01 on FSnavigator map see page 61 and in real life close to LANET see map page 60 which is where aircrafts
hold at Perpignan airport

Open up the FMS and load our
flight plan STARSIJAN. Make sure
this flight plan is active into the
memory of the FMS before moving
ahead. Once activated, you should
get something like this.

Press key

Press 1L HOLD

*HOLD* is now displayed in the
scratchpad area.

Press 4L PATTERN

Press 2L SIJ01 to add HOLD
to it

APPENDI X E Addi ng and f l yi ng HOLD procedures 8 6

Default Hold pattern turn is right (DIR=
Right TURN).
If you want to change its direction, you
must first input the CRS then the
direction such as: 189/L then press 3L
to replace the existing pattern.
If you change the length of the leg like
3NM below, the time leg will also
change 0.7 minutes here, which is 42
seconds.

Should you decide to to remove the
Holding pattern:

Press

Press 4L - PATTERN

Press 1L HOLD

Press 2L SIJ01

Press 4R - ACTIVATE

Press 4L CLEAR to cancel
HOLD.

H letter disappears from SIJ01
waypoint. Check that the holding
pattern has also disappeared on the
map.

H letter indicates where our Holding
pattern will take place.

Also check the holding pattern on the
map:

When flying, our aircraft will
automatically enter the holding pattern
when reaching the H waypoint. You
can cancel the holding pattern before
entering it.
In the following example, a HOLD pattern
was defined on SIJ05. As you reach the
previous waypoint -SIJ04 - EXIT HOLD
comes up under 4L. To cancel HOLD,
simply press 4L. If not the aircraft will enter
HOLD upon reaching SIJ05. EXIT HOLD
remains active until you decide to exit the
pattern by pressing 4L.
