FMS
Our FMS is an original gauge created from FS DEFAULT GPS, excepting for MAP. As other displays, this gauge can be
moved and showed in MFD or FMS in CAPTAIN side or FO side, also and obviously in FMS in pedestal area. This gauge
allows manage a FLIGHT PLANNER in two modes:
CREATE YOUR OWN FLIGHT PLAN: For this option it’s necessary you have ready all waypoints and type of WP to
insert. Basically it’s necessary you have at hands your flight information. Difference with other FMS and creating with
FLIGHT PLANNER, this mode only contains DESTINATION, not DEPARTURE INFORMATION because the FMS will take
your current point for default.
Click in top BOX to insert the ICAO of destination airport and using the
KEYBOARD in FMS, input ICAO code followed of key ENTER.
NOTE: Also it’s possible use your PC Keyboard but only after first key input, not
before. When you finish to use it and to avoid your PC keyboard being blocked, select FPLN menu and click in DEL key (in FMS
KEYBOARD) until the input BOX will be blank.
Immediately, you will be resending to FLIGHT PLAN screen to insert the first waypoint now. At this moment is very
important you understand, as the old FMS mode using keys in sides to insert or select lines, our FMS uses the lines
same way: YELLOW->select left area, RED->select right area and BLUE->insert information (ICAO, waypoints, etc.)
18
VIRTUALCOL – AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FOR FSX/P3D
To insert waypoints, first input any key, the menu of WAYPOINTS TYPE will be appear: VOR, NDB or ISEC, select in
menu and input te waypoint. For this example we input the waypoint OZR, is a ISEC type. When it’s detected click
before of the next point or following the corresponding way. The map will be updated instantly too.
--->
To insert ALTITUDE HOLD in corresponding waypoint, click in right side and input altitude. Click in same position to
activate it in FMS.
--->
To DELETE any waypoint, press DEL key in FMS keyboard and select in left side the waypoint to remove.
19
VIRTUALCOL – AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FOR FSX/P3D
CREATE FLIGHT PLAN FROM YOUR FS FLIGHT PLANNER:
This is the easiest way to create a flight plane, just open FLIGHT PLANNER menu in your FSX or P3D and selecting
ORIGIN and DESTINATION, request your FS search the route, save and ready. The flight plane will be showed in FMS
as the images below. If the FPLN has more than 1 page, move to next using keys NEXT and PREV in FMS keyboard to
review.
20
VIRTUALCOL – AIRBUS A220 SERIES PACK FOR FSX/P3D
ALTERN AIRPORT OPTION:
It’s possible to generate an ALTERNATIVE AIRPORT procedure but only if the current
flight plan is not going to be fulfilled. The reason is that the flight plan will be
eliminated and a new "DIRECT TO" point will be generated. This will open a new flight
plan, which you can leave only as a direct flight or insert points and even assign an
approach. Use this option ONLY if the current flight plan will not be fulfilled and never
with active flight navigation. Change to HDG while making the changes and until
verifying, return the plan to NAV.
APPROACHING PROCEDURE:
At this point you can select an available approach pattern according to the assigned
runway. First select RUNWAY and subsequently you will be required to also indicate
the type of TRANSITION within the available ones or just modify the transition of the
already selected runway.
However, although the procedure will be registered in the flight plan, you can only be
activated from the CNS mode by selecting the PROC menu, activate the cursor with
CRSR and then press ENT when you agree to activate it.
BASIC PROCEDURES
