Here are some impressions of my first maiden flight in my own Boeing 737-800 flight simulator. I’m currently running the whole Project Magenta software suite for the captain side consisting of the MCP, the PFD, the ND, the EICAS, and the FMC. As a computer hardware foundation I’m using 4 PCs dedicated to the following roles:
During the maiden flight with this flight configuration was situated around the area of Vienna – LOWW. I departured at RW 29 heading to the west of Vienna.
As you can see I’m the auto pilot has taken me to 9000ft, with a cruising speed of 300kt with the heading 295. (Yes, I know there’s the speed restriction of 250kt under 10.000ft, but I’m in a simuator ). Here you can see the programmed FMC for the SITN2X SID from RW 29 in LOWW (but only for demonstration purposes, because I didn’t activated the programmed route)
After crossing Tulln (LOXT), I was on course towards Langenlois (LOAG) where I returned back home on course 114 heading to RW 11 in LOWW.
As you can see the auto pilot (in a single channel approach) is establishing the plane on the glideslope and localizer of RW 11. We are 6,5 miles away from the touchdown point at around 2600ft at 210kt.
We are cleared to land
Last corrections are done by the auto pilot…
Everything is fine.
Stay tuned
