Jack Sawyer Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 @Stillwater Hi Gerold, here's a flight I made this morning in real time with real weather. It was PAVD to PAYA in a PMDG 737 NGX 700. I followed all relevant SID's & STAR's. The Fjord1 departure. Was like this the entire flight. Hand landing the ILS runway 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been very cool here lately, I’m not complaining and low humidity, it’s cooler than normal and it’s awesome. Yeah, those fires are pretty darned scary!

There's nothing more satisfying that flying one of these like they do in real life with all the proper procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 When I lived at Yakutat, a star was still a night time event in the sky. Center cleared them for an approach (anything published) and they'd give us (FSS) a call for any late new info. "Procedure turn, inbound" was the next call to make sure the runway was clear and we repeated altimeter, any known traffic and a wind check. Of course, if the weather was less than VFR, he was the only one in the control zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 'Standard Terminal Arrival Route' allows the inbound to transition from enroute to the approach without the necessity of flying over the fix and descending outbound then inbound after a procedure turn. Of course radar monitoring would be nice but don't know what Center's coverage from the Middleton Island radar is. When I was at YAK the Low Frequency Range was still very popular.

Thanks Martyn, before I made this flight I checked the weather on my phone app. It was correct too. I love reaching cruise like this and end up on top of the clouds and still see the mountains.

Thanks Roger, programming the FMC to do holds, and other things, when successful, is very gratifying. I have several real-world 737/747/757/767/747 pilot handbooks I bought through the years.
