Hi Mark, thx for your nice comment. I once made the decision to limit myself to an Iphone only as recording device. Sound is always an issue with that. I have an external stereo mic, still never get the right mixture of ambient noise, intercom/ATC or my own voice. So, yes, it remains a challenge. When I do a new batch I keep this in mind and think about a better setup
Great video! i enjoy them! do you know how to enter an outbound radial to intercept a fix? i did it in school, but i can't find it on the FMS manual. i have been asked to intercept radial 123 to abc waypoint. how do you set it up on the FMS>? THANKS!
+AlexSky7700 A couple of methods that may be helpful: 1. The airway fix method: If the interception point is on an airway - Enter a FROM wpt and a TO wpt on the airway, execute and the FMS will intercept the airway ... I believe on he heading existing before the FMS adaption and provided you are in heading mode for the alteration period 2. The place-bearing/distance method - Define a QDR/radial from a point like this: STR090 - this would create a 90 degree radial from the Stuttgart (STR) VOR. Expand it with a distance like this: STR090/20 - this gives you a 20nm point on the 90 degree radial from the Stuttgart (STR) VOR. You can enter this point as a fix in the FMS ... I am not sure if thsi was exactly what you were looking for but it is still good to know these two ways
When you first enter the waypoint there should be an intercept course just above the scratchpad on the right. Alternatively you can create a pilot waypoint along the radial you want by entering this into the scratchpad WPTBRG/DIST/NAME where WPT is the reference waypoint, BRG is the bearing from the waypoint in three digit format, DIST is the distance from the waypoint, and NAME is the optional name of the new waypoint.
... yes. If I recall correctly: MFD needs to be in plan mode (PPOS does not work for this one). Then hit MFD ADV button on the FMS3000. There you can choose NXT WPT or LST WPT. That toggles you thru the flight plan's waypoints on the MFD display ... pulled this from the back of my head - not being in the airplane right now. Hope it is accurate enough
Mehr Spaß am Spaß Haben Haben thank you. That helped a great deal. One more question, can FLC mode be setup on the ground and activated in the air or do I have setup and activate it once airborne?
... I do not think so, but I may be wrong - we simply do not use it this way. Typically, following our SOPs, you would preselect HDG, NAV while entering the runway for t/o. That way you are in HDG mode during the t/o and the NAV mode is in standby; heading bug is set for t/o runway heading ... flight director follows this heading intially. For the first couple of vertical feet it is just flying. At a predefined altitude, it maybe 400, 800 or 1000 based on company SOPs, you enter a climb sequence of action items, e.g. power back to climb or MCT power, flaps reduce, yaw damper engage and if you feel like it you could engage the autopilot and set modes as needed. At this point you could also choose FLC and adjust for a certain climb speed, could be best climb speed. In some cases it may be interesting to preset the FLC speed on the ground and recall it when climbing. This would be the case when you depart with speed restrcitions. An example would be Zurich, where a very tight turn and low speed is required immediately after takeoff fro noise abatement reasons.
@@reynellbarnett4291 we operate the proline 21 on a king air. I’m curious about this FLC question though. Wouldn’t arming it on the ground make for a potentially dangerous situation as, say you want to climb at 140 kt, as you accelerate to 140, the FLC logic will initially tell you through the FD that you need to lower your pitch until you hit 140; it could be that with the excess thrust you would be ok and the FD would give you a good pitch for climb. Speaking from our operations, as for vertical mode, we always take off in pitch mode at about 7.5°. Thank you @Mehr Spaß am Spaß Haben Haben for the great video.
Your videos are very informative and useful.........it would help if Icould hear you better.

Great! thanks! that's exactly what i need it! i will try to play around with method #2.

hey great videos. is there a way to step through my flight plan from the plan mode on the MFD?
... yes. If I recall correctly: MFD needs to be in plan mode (PPOS does not work for this one). Then hit MFD ADV button on the FMS3000. There you can choose NXT WPT or LST WPT.
