Getting Started
Welcome to the first in a series of tutorials designed for the Boeing 777! All
weights in this tutorial will be given in kilograms (kg) because it is a European
flight.
The Boeing 777 is the largest twin engine commercial aircraft in the world. Aside
from being the largest, it is also one of the most efficient aircraft currently
available. The Boeing 777 is flown by the world’s elite airlines. The Boeing 777
first flew in 1994 and entered service with United Airlines in 1995. It was the first
aircraft to be 100% designed digitally using a computer. It features state of the
art avionics and aerodynamics. The Boeing 777 is in a class of its own.
This tutorial, being the first one in a series, will be designed to get you started
on the Boeing 777. Large areas of this tutorial have been simplified or may not
be covered at all. The complexity and realism with increase with each tutorial.
The aim of this tutorial is to teach you how to fly from point A to point B.
Prior to doing this tutorial it is encouraged that you read the other
documentation supplied with the product and familiarise yourself with the
aircraft. This tutorial also assumes that one has a basic knowledge of
automation, such as the autopilot.
It is recommended that you have the latest navigation data installed in your
aircraft for this flight. Updated navigation data can be purchased from Aerosoft
in the form of their NavData Pro product or from Navigraph.
