DH, MDA, RADIO, and BARO on Boeing: Approach Minimums for Simulator Pilots
Decision height versus minimum descent altitude, MCP RADIO and BARO minimums, and how to set DA or MDA from charts — or safe defaults for ILS and non-ILS runs.
Tutorials and reference material for IFR route planning, aviation weather, and flight simulator workflows. All content is written for simulation pilots using NG ROUTE.
Decision height versus minimum descent altitude, MCP RADIO and BARO minimums, and how to set DA or MDA from charts — or safe defaults for ILS and non-ILS runs.
Set destination QNH on the MCP, standby altimeter, and CDU approach refs so Boeing ILS and VNAV descents match NG ROUTE METAR briefing.
FPV on 787 and optional HUD symbology versus classic flight director cues — how Boeing pilots fly path on approach in the sim.
Understand GS and LOC scales on Boeing displays, when flags appear, capture from above, and what to do when cues disappear on short final.
How the Boeing TO/GA switch works with autothrottle and flight director, what changes on the mode annunciator, and how to fly the go-around in the sim.
How airlines taxi inbound on one engine in 737 and wide-body Boeing jets, APU requirements, and handling asymmetric thrust in the sim.
