Great job sticking to your goals. Keep going, almost there!

So in short: Right after takeoff at acceleration altitude (1200ft), the plane should not be able to fully level off to accelerate, because we imposed an artificial minimum positive FD pitch. Above 10000ft, this limit is removed to permit climb at low fpm if it's needed. The long version: We've implemented a lower limit for FLCH climb, so that even if it needs to accelerate, the FD pitch should still climb at least 5° up (I don't remember the exact number now). But this limit is lowered with altitude up to 10000ft, above which we do not limit it anymore, because there were situations in the envelope where the plane would actually climb at low vertical speed and we had to allow that. When we didn't the plane would have stalled in those corner cases.

If I remember correctly, the real airplane would never level off in order to accelerate, but maintain a rate of climb of 500-1000 fpm until reaching the new speed, and then pitching up again to maintain under SPDe logic. At all weights, the airplane should be able to accelerate on a 500fpm climb up to way more than 10,000ft. Probably around FL200 or so. Even at higher altitudes, it would gently pitch to accelerate, maintaining a POSITIVE ROC (not 0) to reach the new speed. Depending on weight, speed, and density altitude (pressure altitude corrected for temperature)

@@crew-rest Nice. Enjoy! Keep up the great content

True. Trim set incorrectly. Hence late rotation...

Glad it helped. On this one, no ground services addon. Just default interface. Betterpushback for the push.

No FD in real life acts this way, even to VERY gusty weather. And it was not gusty at all. The airplane flew well and stable. The FD was way too quick and aggressive to react to speed and attitude change.

@@crew-rest Thank you, I really appreciate your input given I have no experience flying in real life.

Honestly it wouldn't matter to me ever. As long as the MCDU menu works and the display represents it well enough, I personally don't actually care if the engine didn't actually derate. I need to get my procedures done correctly, see the correct displays, and later get the plane off the ground safely. Just my personal opinion.

It had its flaws, sure, but it flew, and even pretty well. Now it has come a long way since and it's a lot better.

To my knowledge the FMS doesn't calculate it, instead the calcualtions are performed by a 3rd party company so pilots need to send the request via a tablet and then they receive it back.

There isn't a takeoff calculation feature in the real aircraft, at least not in any one that I've seen. It's done externally, either via crew ipads or using external companies through the ACARS.

Thank you

At our airline we send for the TO (and approach) speeds through ACARS, and the dataset comes back through ACARS. So we can get all the speeds through the MCDU, but it's not actually the aircraft calculating them.

Just a semi random route I picked... ;)

Great, welcome on board!

I think they did that as some sort of shortcut to keep the aircraft from being more erratic than it already seems to be…this looks like a beta release

Another thing too is the fuel at dest seems to be changing a lot during the flight. That doesn’t seem realistic

That's what I remembered, too. I've been to 2 different type ratings since having flown the Embraer, so I didn't want to completely dismiss the possibility that I don't know of a newer software version or something. Thanks for the info!

The FOD could have changed because of the discontinuity between the STAR and the APP? I haven't payed attention to it to be honest.

I gotta admit that you're right. I'm pretty sure that behavior was described to us by a different pilot, but I cannot find any reference to it in the manual. The problem now is that the smooth transition actually does result in a much smoother acceleration and deceleration, so the question is, do we need to go back and remove it, so that it works correctly, but worse? That's a pickle.

Thanks Dave, I forgot about that feature, but half happy it happened, as it kept me in my flow of working the FMS all throughout. Thanks for the reminder, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

LIDO

Glad you enjoyed it! Thankd for the input

If everything works as planned and you are flying on prescribed, pre-planned routes, you'd happily use VNAV all day long and barely interfere. The "green" modes are for changes to those plans, as in an early or late descent, speed variations that VNAV cannot accommodate while flying it's planned path, and for radar vectors, when you get an entirely unplanned trajectory and don't have the time to properly build it in the FMS.

Thanks! I don't really know, I haven't checked yet. There probably is a scenery of it somewhere over the internet making it work.

I have, check it out on my channel!

Thanks for joining! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I have always used Simbrief, and downloaded the FMS Plan from there when available. It has always been excellent and free. Recently it's becoming better and better.

Felis 747-200, the rest is vanilla X-Plane 12. Most settings Ultra.

This is my first time flying the FSS Embraer for MSFS. My previous videos were in other addons: X-Craft for X-Plane 12 and before that Feelthere for Prepar3Dv4

I honestly don't know... But thanks for letting me know.

Best of luck! At this point of time, FSS is better. Far from perfect, but as demonstrated - you can run your Normal Procedures flows and checklists well enough. Do check out my playlists on Embraer Normal Procedures and Systems, but just as a background.

I have, and most likely will. I fired up the sim and cleared a couple of hours, thinking I'd make a quick tutorial for the community and point out the things that need to be done. I didn't expect to run into anything misprogrammed, but once I have, I pointed it out to as well, I don't edit my video so that everything is absolutely perfect, nor do I have the time to beta test features. I'm a user like most others. To question is your prerogative.

Simple answer: I don't put anything in the FMS preemptively for an engine out scenario, typically. It is briefed amongst us pilots verbally, and I write it in short on a note that I keep visible during the departure. I might use the FIX INFO page to draw out the key makers in the Engine Failure Procedure, if it's not a simple straight out one.

Haha it might be me. I fly so much in real life, I don't practice enough landings in the sim itself. It's like flying another airplane... Combined with my outdated hardware...

Great question, I personally haven't flown the 195, only the 170-175, I believe it should be identical.

Correct. They DO NOT work. In my previous airline, at least. They CAN work but this is another airline configuration thing. My airline elected to not have them work, to force the pilots to strictly monitor the system based on the readings of the FMA in the PFD, as people should do anyway.

Mostly vanilla XPlane12, the main thing is the Felis 747-200

@@crew-rest ok 👍
