Vertical Flight Plan (Figure 271)
The Honeywell FMS is structured such that the pilot can enter all
information for the entire flight prior to takeoff. In
flight, the
operation of the
FMS can be limited to checking the progress of the
flight and updating the system with any in-flight changes as
necessary.
During ground operations, the pilot is prompted in the
lower right-hand corner of the screen on the normal four
predeparture steps.
The four steps are:
. Verify date, time, and database
. Initialize position
. Enter flight plan
. Initialize performance
An 8-waypoint example flight will be used. The performance
initialization data used are
as follows:
● Climb Speed Schedule 300/0.75
● Cruise Speed Schedule
0.78
● Descent Speed Schedule
300/0.80
. Transition Altitude 18,000
● Speed/Altitude Restriction 250/10,000
. Cruise Altitude 45,000
Pressing the PERF DATA prompt allows the PZ-800 to calculate the
performance values for the entire flight plan. Airspeed constraints
will be entered into the flightplan at waypoints 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and
7 as follows:
WPT 2
320 kt
WPT 3
280 kt
WPT 4
0.80 M
WPT 5
0.75 M
WPT 6
0.82 M
WPT 7
0.78 M
Figure 271 shows the vertical flight plan for the above example.
