PMDG 737NGX 0.00.35
TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
somewhere around 122.6 or 122.7 lbs. (55.6 or 55.7 kgs)
Since we’re flying an airplane with aspirated TAT probes, verify
that “TO” for takeoff appears on the upper engine DU.
For now, enter 5.0 lbs (2.3 kgs) for fuel RESERVES at LSK 4L.
(We’ll change this in a bit when we figure out the actual fuel load
needed.)
Let’s use a slightly higher COST INDEX for this flight than we
used in Tutorial #1 – enter 36 at LSK 5L.
Enter our cruise altitude of FL390 at LSK 1R
Notice that the TRIP figure on the left half of the LSK 1L cruise
altitude field says something between FL395 and FL401 – this is
the minimum cost altitude for this route at the weight and CI
we’ve selected. Normally you would want to get as close as you
can to this altitude, which is FL390 in this case for our direction of
flight. Do note however that sometimes ATC will have a reason
for making you file a lower cruise altitude – this can and does
happen.
Enter 360/0 into LSK 2R since we have no wind in the simulator.
If you are using wind, go to the weather addendum at the end of
this document where this entry is explained in detail.
Leave the temperature fields at 4R and 5R alone.
