TUTORIAL #2
27FEB15 RTM DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
The Flaps 40 V speed at this weight is 135 for me.
135 + 20 = 155.
Go back to the LEGS page and press NEXT PAGE twice, you
should see OEV18. For me it’s currently at row 6.
Type 155/ and enter it at LSK 6R (or whichever right side key
OEV18 is currently at for you)
Press the illuminated EXEC button to accept the route
modification.
Press LEGS again to get back to page 1.
The VNAV predictions now recalculate and we get a new T/D
point. If you use PLAN mode or zoom out, you can see that
there’s a DECEL circle near RTTNB now. Fortunately this is a flat
9500 foot segment from RTTNB all the way to OEV18, so we
shouldn’t have any trouble slowing down provided we extend the
flaps promptly as soon as we reach each maneuvering speed.
The approach charts that help you visualize the following approach
narrative are located at the end of this document.
Approach explanation/breifing:
The first part of the approach, the LOC/DME EAST procedure, consists of
following an offset localizer DME (OEV) and a steep 3.8 degree
glideslope down the valley. We will fly this in LNAV and VNAV while
monitoring the raw data signals to sanity check the FMC and autopilot in a
very similar way to how we checked ourselves on the departure.
We start at Rattenberg NDB (RTT) at 9500 feet and fly a 210 degree
heading until intercepting the localizer at 21 DME. As we just accounted
for, we’ll be at Flaps 15 and gear down before the glideslope intercept.
High drag is very important on this approach due the steep angle and
because of a unique wind condition called the Föhn that occurs on the
downward side of mountain ridges like those that surround Innsbruck.
This wind combined with the steep descent rate mandate the use of flaps
and gear much earlier than normal.
Once we reach the ABSAM (AB) NDB, which is located at 6.3 DME along
the localizer, we will break off to the left on a 230 degree heading visually
