TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
Return the captain’s CDU to the LEGS page.
Set the captain’s side MCP COURSE to 254 (OEV localizer) and
the first officer’s MCP COURSE to 067 (OEJ localizer for the
missed approach)
Just a few more items now and we be ready.
Select AUTO BRAKES 2 on the main panel.
We’ve already briefed the approach during cruise.
Run the DESCENT CHECKLIST located on page NC.3 of the
QRH. (page 27 of the PDF version)
As we turn toward the mountains at BAVAX, you should begin to see
terrain contours appear on the ND. The PMDG 737NGX features an
extremely sophisticated EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
System) simulation. Since we are still more than 2000 feet above any
terrain feature, the system is in what’s known as “peaks mode”. The
numbers at the lower left of the ND are the highest and lowest terrain
features currently displayed on the map in feet * 100 above mean sea
level. So for example 080 is 8000 feet.
Once we get low enough on the approach, you will begin to see red,
yellow and green bands indicating the terrain altitude relative to your own.
When in the “band” mode:
Green terrain is between 2000 feet below and 500 feet below the
airplane. (250 feet with gear down)
Amber terrain is within 500 feet below and 2000 feet above the airplane.
Red terrain is more than 2000 feet above the airplane.
