TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
THE APPROACH
First off, this is a very challenging approach, even more so in a single pilot
simulated environment. You very well may not get it right the first time (I
certainly didn’t). In the event that this happens, we’ve included a number
of saved flights that will restore the sim to various points in the flight –
these are:
Before Pushback
Before Takeoff
Before Top of Descent
Before Approach
Before Visual Approach
End of flight, fully shut down in Innsbruck
Access these from the P3D Flights/Load menu and you’ll be able to start
over if something doesn’t go quite right.
Now…
After passing RTT, flip the ADF transfer switch, selecting Absam
(AB) NDB on 313.0.
When we reach the DECEL circle just after RTTNB, get ready to
monitor the airspeed very carefully. The plane will first slow to
Flaps Up maneuvering speed, at which point you should lower
Flaps 1, then Flaps 5 at the Flaps 1 maneuvering speed and so
on according to the standard 1, 5, 15, landing flaps (40 in this
case) schedule. Drop the landing gear when selecting Flaps 15.
You should reach 155 knots just prior to OEV18.
Just before OEV18, lower the MCP ALTITUDE window to 3700
feet, which is the minimum descent altitude (MDA) for the circling
procedure.
Monitor the airspeed and the LOC and GS deviation as we
descend. We’ll likely be slightly to the left of the localizer course –
this has to do with magnetic variation issues and navdata location
in P3D and is not a major problem. The main thing is just to make
