TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
A NOTE ON WEATHER AND WINDS
This tutorial will not use weather by default because doing so correctly
and realistically requires a weather addon such as Active Sky Next. If you
do have ASN or a similar real world weather program that can output
readable winds aloft data the addendum at the end of this tutorial explains
how to set up ASN and the FMC for use with wind predictions.
If you are going to do this just please be aware that the weather situation
changes dynamically just as it does in real life. The optional weather
related sections are written in a generic form to account for this but it is
quite possible that the departure runway at EHAM will not be Runway 24
and the arrival runway in Innsbruck will be Runway 26 instead of Runway
8 based on the actual winds.
If this is the case you have two choices – either follow the tutorial as
written and accept that you may be violating real life standard operating
procedures for crosswind or tailwind components on landing, or look at
the charts for both EHAM and LOWI and slightly modify the tutorial
procedures so that you use the correct runways. At EHAM this will likely
just mean selecting a different version of the LUNIX SID that’s made for
the new runway. At LOWI this could mean doing a straight in approach to
Runway 26 instead of the circling procedure to Runway 8.
These are the types of situations real pilots find themselves in every day
and adapting to it is something you’ll get used to as you use real life
weather in the sim.
If you have a weather program and are going to use it to fly
this tutorial start that program now so that it connects to P3D
before we launch the flight. Please read the addendum (page
132) first so you know what to expect during the tutorial.
