PMDG 737 0.00.39
INTRODUCTION
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE NOVEMBER 2022
Auto-flight System:
• The autopilot/flight director system on a modern airliner is a very
precise instrument, but it is not foolproof. You may see the
airplane vary slightly from the desired speed, track or altitude as
the airplane works to manage energy in order to accomplish the
path-defined goal. It will make decisions to turn slightly inside or
outside of the path, accept a slightly fast or slow condition, or
even pass through an altitude slightly in order to prevent
exceeding acceleration limits or engine spool up/down
capabilities.
• When you press a switch on the MCP, that mode may not
engage instantly, but instead will exhibit a small time delay
necessary to bring all the various components through their self-
checks prior to actuating.
Cockpit Shaking Feature:
• Implemented first in the PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II,
this feature provides the feeling of shaking of the cockpit with the
associated rattling sounds under various conditions:
o Ground roll
o Touch down
o Engine excessive vibration or failure
o In-flight turbulence
o Stall conditions (angle of attack)
o High speed buffeting
o Excessive g-force
o Speed brakes application
Doors:
• Most door warnings that you receive while on the ground will
result from faulty, cluttered or obstructed sensors. While on the
ground, cycling a door open/closed will usually cure the problem
for you. If the problem does not clear, takeoff is inadvisable.
• Door warnings received in the air have potentially serious
consequences. Follow checklist procedure carefully to avoid
aircraft damage or loss of pressurization.
• If you allow GROUND OPERATIONS to run, the flight attendants
will manage the cabin doors automatically, including the arming,
disarming opening and closing of doors at the appropriate time.
