TigerTigerM Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Discovered that the PMDG 737-700 can Autoland & tested it at EPKK with success, where it landed on its own before I took over the roll out. Tried at KBUR v2 after departing Rwy 33 & looping around to the North & West before heading back East to ILS/Autoland on Rwy 08. Whereas EPKK had a 10 kia wind straight down the runway, KBUR had a 14 kia crosswind, & that was my undoing. The 737 captured the glide path ok & I had both AP's on & it was holding 140 kia right to the edge of the runway when a gust caught it & tipped it right before I could cancel the AP. However, its worth another shot & I would think a dawn or dusk approach into KBUR v2, (which is looking pretty good), would be quite spectacular with all the surrounding suburb's lighting. TTM Just departed KBUR v2 Rwy 33 & headed North. Swinging to the North West over the Simi Mountains near Burbank. On the way in to Rwy 08 in Autoland mode. The glide path was captured about 8 miles out & the 737 flew down it very smoothly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolled right at runway threshold in wind gust, BUT, I subsequently discovered there is a setting in the MCDU/Aircraft set up that can tell it to hold the center line, & I didn't have that on. Will try again with the 'Centered' setting. TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
