8. Now complete FMS preparations.
At this point you have set the aircraft up sufficiently to complete your tasks in the FMS MCDU.
This part is not necessary if all you’re going to do is take off and sight-see. On the other hand, if
you’re going to try to emulate a passenger carrying flight, you’ll probably have completed your
load planning and have some numbers to enter.
This is summarized in the FMS manual as well, but here are a few pointers for the order in which
to do certain things to take greatest advantage of the latest FMS features.
a) Navigate to PERF 1 and enter the fuel quantities from both tanks.
b) Enter the aircraft cargo weight and the MAC percentage.
c) Navigate to PERF 2 and enter your cruise airspeed, initial cruise altitude and final cruise
altitude. The FMS will alert you to enter your departure airport at this point.
d) Navigate to DEPARTURE - make your entry selections.
e) Navigate to ARRIVAL - select at least the runway and the first procedural element of the
STAR.
You can enter the complete arrival, transition and approach if you are not
anticipating any changes assigned by ATC.
f) Either load your route file (company flight plan) or manually enter waypoints and airways.
This part is optional as the entry of a departure and an arrival is all that’s really necessary
for short, regional hops.
g)
Verify your SID, ROUTE and ENTRY waypoint lists are correct, with the correct speeds
and altitudes. Edit as needed.
h) Navigate to the MCDU index and press the INIT button, and then the EXEC button. Your
flight plan is now loaded, and you can then navigate to the PROGRESS 1 page, and then
to FLT PLAN to verify the loaded flight plan.
i) Navigate to the AUTOPILOT page to make any configuration settings you would like to
make here. This gives you a digital means of entering data that you would otherwise
adjust using the knobs on the FGCP.
j) Navigate back to PROGRESS. This completes the FMS / MCDU tasks, and leaves the
MCDU screen prepared to monitor the flight waypoint sequence.
