These chapters provide a solid foundation for the proper operation of the 767 in FS2004.
Subsequent chapter study can proceed in any order desired.
Each system chapter is organized into three sections. The first part of each section explains
the system in detail. The second part explains all panel controls associated with the system.
The final part highlights normal procedures associated with the system. The highlighted
procedures in each section are provided for study purposes and are not intended to be used as
a checklist.
A quick read through the controls explanations of each chapter provides a better understanding
of how the 767 panel operates without having to study the details of each system. This is
particularly helpful when learning checklists and procedures. Although it is recommended that
each system be thoroughly understood, it is not an absolute requirement if the normal
checklists are followed. The only exception to this is the AFDS and FMC sections. Those should
be read and understood completely.
This section of the manual outlines the panel layout and menu controls. A “Level-D” menu is
available within the FS2004 menu bar for the selection of available custom features. This
menu is described in detail within this section. The remaining sections of this manual explain
the aircraft systems and controls.
The panel is initially loaded in a “ready-to-fly” state. All systems are set correctly for normal
flight operations. The aircraft can be flown manually using all normal simulator controls
available in FS2004. To use the automatic pilot and navigation capabilities of the aircraft, it is
recommended that the AFDS and FMC sections of this manual be reviewed thoroughly.
Control buttons are provided on the main panel to toggle the display of available cockpit
panels.
1- Overhead panel.
2- Pedestal panel.
3- FMC control data unit panel.
4- Toggle between the Captain and F/O panel displays.
5- AFDS mode control panel display.
The FMC cannot be controlled from the FMC displays within the virtual cockpit. To operate the
FMC, the normal 2D window must be displayed. Mouse clicking on the FMC within the virtual
cockpit causes the 2D FMC CDU to display in a separate window. This window may also be
displayed using the <shift><7> keyboard combination. Changes to the FMC are made from
within the windowed FMC CDU while operating in the virtual cockpit.
Click spot areas are available from within the virtual cockpit to display 2D system panels.
Clicking on the glare shield just above the EADI displays the AFDS MCP 2D panel. Clicking on
the white area just above the main window (to the left and right of the overhead) displays the
2D overhead panel controls. And as previously mentioned, pressing on the FMC within the
virtual cockpit displays the 2D FMC CDU panel. These panels are helpful for those that use
multi-monitor setups and for quick selection of an aircraft system without changing the virtual
cockpit point of view.
Level-D Menu
The Level-D menu is available via the FS2004 menu bar along the top of the simulator window.
This menu is used for the selection of panel options, failures, settings and ground requests.
The first four selections listed have sub-menu’s. These submenu’s are explained in further
detail below. Selection of “Quick tips …” displays the quick tip dialogue box seen when the
panel is first loaded. Selection of “Visit Level-D Simulations website” opens up the default

based on airspeed. The spinner animation reacts to airspeed changes.
The APU inlet door opens anytime the APU switch is in the RUN position.
Aileron Droop
The inboard ailerons droop in response to flap selection. Aileron droop is indicated in the
cockpit on the aileron pointer gauge.
AUTOFLIGHT SYSTEM
Automatic control of the aircrafts flight path from takeoff to landing is possible with the use of
the following systems: Flight Control Computers (FCC), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS),
Autothrottle, AFDS Mode Control Panel (MCP), and the Flight Management Computer (FMC).
The FCCs provide the source information for the AFDS. The AFDS provides pitch and roll flight
commands to the pilot and the autopilot via the flight director. The autothrottle handles the
automatic application of power for each phase of flight. The AFDS MCP located in the center
of the main panel provides for control of the Autoflight system. The FMC provides for complete
control over route navigation and power settings for climb, cruise and descent.
The only pilot control over the FCCs is via the Instrument Source Selector switch on the main
panel. The FCC providing flight director commands to the pilot may be changed using this
switch. This switch is normally set to the “on-side” FCC (ie. Left for the Captains instruments).
Flight Director command bars are displayed on the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicators
(EADI) when the respective F/D switch is turned ON via the MCP. The active F/D mode is
annunciated on the EADI. On the ground, the F/D is engaged in the takeoff mode (TO). The
command bars are displayed wings level at the 8 degree pitch up position on the EADI. After
liftoff, the F/D commands a straight flight path at a speed of V2 + 15 or the actual liftoff speed
+ 15, whichever is greater. The takeoff mode is terminated by the selection of another AFDS
mode via the MCP or by engaging the autopilot in CMD mode.
After takeoff, the following vertical and horizontal navigation modes are available for selection
on the MCP: Flight Level Change (FL CH), Vertical Speed (VERT SPD), VNAV, Altitude Hold (ALT
HOLD), LNAV, Heading Select (HDG SEL), Heading Hold (HDG HOLD), Localizer approach (LOC),
Backcourse approach (BCRS), and ILS approach (APP). The use of VNAV is dependant on FMC
programming and is discussed in more detail in the FMC section of this manual.
If the F/D switch is not turned ON, the selection of AFDS modes via the MCP is not possible
unless an autopilot is engaged in the CMD mode.
Autopilot (CMD)
Left, Center and Right autopilots are available for engagement via the MCP CMD buttons.
Engagement of an autopilot is annunciated as CMD on the EADI. When engaged, the autopilot
moves the flight controls to follow the flight director commands selected on the MCP. Each
autopilot requires electrical and hydraulic power to function normally. The Left and Center
autopilots are powered by the Left Main AC Bus. The Right autopilot is powered from the Right
Main AC Bus. The three autopilots receive hydraulic power from their respective (Left, Center
and Right) hydraulic systems.
The F/D switch should always be turned on prior to autopilot engagement. If the F/D switch is
OFF, or the flight director is in TO mode, selection of CMD on the MCP results in the AFDS
engaging in the VERT SPD and HDG HLD modes. If the AFDS is in a mode other than TO, the
autopilot engages in the currently selected mode.
To disengage the autopilot, press the DISENGAGE bar on the MCP or use a keyboard/joystick
assigned button. This returns control of the aircraft to the pilot and automatically places the
AFDS in the FD mode.
The autothrottles range of operation is limited by the Thrust Management Computer (TMC)
based on the selected Thrust Rating Panel (TRP) mode. Additionally, the pilot can override the
autothrottle by moving the power levers manually. Once the power levers are released, the
autothrottle moves the power levers back to the originally commanded thrust setting.
The autothrottle may be disengage by selecting the A/T switch to OFF or by using the
keyboard/joystick assigned button. Additionally, the autothrottle is automatically disconnected
during single engine operations.
AFDS Lateral Modes (HDG HOLD, HDG SEL, LNAV, LOC, BCRS, APP)
Aircraft heading is controlled by the following modes: Heading Hold (HDG HOLD), Heading
Select (HDG SEL), Lateral Navigation (LNAV), Localizer approach (LOC), Backcourse approach
(BCRS) and ILS approach (APP). A bank limiting system is used to control the maximum bank
angle during AFDS commanded heading changes. Once a lateral mode is engaged, it can only
be cancelled by selecting another lateral mode or by turning off the autopilot and F/D. Some
lateral modes have “armed” conditions which can be cancelled by pressing the respective
mode button a second time.
The Heading Hold mode is selected by pressing the HOLD button directly below the heading
selector (SEL) knob on the MCP. HDG HOLD is annunciated in green on the EADI when engaged.
If selected in level flight, the aircraft maintains the current heading. If selected during a turn,
the aircraft rolls out to the current heading. This mode is selected automatically if an
autopilot is engaged with no other AFDS mode active.
The Heading Select mode is selected by pressing on the SEL knob below the heading window on
the MCP. HDG SEL is annunciated in green on the EADI when engaged. When selected, the
aircraft is commanded to fly toward the heading displayed in the heading window. This
heading is set by rotating the SEL knob. The aircraft will continue to fly toward any heading
selected in the heading window while in HDG SEL mode.
Use of the Lateral Navigation mode is dependant on FMC route programming (discussed in the
FMC section of this manual) and is selected by pressing the LNAV button on the MCP. LNAV is
annunciated on the EADI in white when armed and green when engaged. The armed mode
occurs when LNAV is selected and the aircraft is not on the FMC programmed route. When
armed, the AFDS remains in the current lateral mode until LNAV is engaged. The engaged

AUTOFLIGHT SYSTEM
mode occurs when the aircraft encounters and/or is following the FMC programmed route.
When LNAV is engaged, aircraft heading is automatically controlled to follow the FMC
programmed route.
The Localizer approach mode is selected by pressing the LOC button on the MCP. LOC is
annunciated on the EADI in white when armed and green when engaged. The armed mode
occurs when LOC is selected and the aircraft is not within localizer range. When armed, the
AFDS remains in the current lateral mode until LOC is engaged. The engaged mode occurs
when the aircraft is actively tracking the localizer. When LOC is engaged, aircraft heading is
automatically controlled to follow the localizer.
The ILS approach mode is selected by pressing the APP button on the MCP. This mode uses the
LOC mode to track the localizer in conjunction with vertical guidance from the glideslope mode
(GS) to track the glideslope. The LOC mode works the same as described previously with
armed and engaged modes to track the localizer. The glideslope mode also has armed and
engaged modes. GS is annunciated on the EADI in white when armed and green when engaged.
When armed, the AFDS remains in the current vertical mode until GS is engaged. The engaged
mode occurs when the aircraft is actively tracking the glideslope. When GS is engaged, the
vertical track of the aircraft is controlled to follow the glideslope.
The Backcourse mode is selected by pressing the BCRS button in conjunction with the LOC
button. This mode is exactly the same as the LOC mode except that when engaged, the AFDS
tracks the localizer Backcourse inbound. BCRS is annunciated in white when armed and green
when engaged. The localizer front course must be set in the ILS course window (on the
pedestal) for the BCRS mode to function properly.
The Flight Level Change mode is selected by pressing the FL CH button on the MCP. FL CH is
annunciated in green on the EADI and the A/T is automatically engaged if armed. Additionally,
the current aircraft speed is reset in the IAS/MACH window of the MCP and the TRP changes to
a CLB mode. When selected, the AFDS and the autothrottle command pitch and power settings
to fly the aircraft toward the altitude selected in the MCP ALT window at the selected speed.
Changing the IAS/MACH speed on the MCP causes the AFDS to change the commanded pitch
angle to maintain the selected speed. If a climb is required, the A/T sets power to the
maximum available (based on TRP selection) and the AFDS pitches up to maintain the selected
airspeed. If a descent is required, the A/T sets the power to IDLE and enters a throttle hold
(THR HOLD) mode while the AFDS pitches down to maintain the selected airspeed. The
throttle hold mode disconnects the autothrottle from the power levers which allows the pilot
to manually control thrust during the descent.
Use of the Vertical Navigation mode is dependant on FMC programming (discussed in the FMC
section of this manual) and is selected by pressing the VNAV button on the MCP. VNAV SPD or
VNAV PTH is annunciated in green on the EADI and the A/T is automatically engaged if armed.
Additionally, the TRP automatically changes to a mode appropriate for the phase of flight. If
VNAV is selected after takeoff, the TRP changes to a CLB mode and the AFDS commands for a
climb toward the FMC programmed altitude or the altitude in the MCP ALT window, whichever
is lower. The speed window on the MCP blanks out when VNAV is selected since speed control
is transferred to the FMC. To regain speed control from the FMC, a “speed intervention” mode
is available by pressing on the airspeed select knob. This re-opens the speed window for
manual adjustment via the MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob a second time transfers
The Vertical Speed mode is selected by pressing the V/S button on the MCP. V/S is
annunciated in green on the EADI when engaged. The A/T does not automatically engage with
the selection of the vertical speed mode. The A/T SPD mode is used if the A/T is already
engaged. When V/S is selected, the VERT SPD window opens up and displays the current
aircraft vertical speed. The AFDS then commands pitch to maintain this vertical speed. The
A/T (if engaged) controls power to maintain the speed selected in the IAS/MACH window. To
change the vertical speed, press on the thumb wheel above the V/S button in the desired
direction. Unlike the FL CH mode, the Vertical Speed mode is capable of flying the aircraft
away from the altitude selected in the MCP ALT window.
The ILS approach mode is discussed in the AFDS Lateral Modes section. The glideslope mode
works as described previously. GS mode engagement automatically replaces any existing
vertical modes upon glideslope intercept. Additionally, if the GS mode is armed , pressing the
APP button a second time cancels the GS armed mode.
The Altitude Hold mode is not automatically selected when VNAV is in use under certain
conditions. If the altitude set in the MCP ALT window is the same as the CRZ ALT set in the
FMC, the AFDS enters the VNAV PTH mode instead of ALT HOLD. If there is a difference
between the FMC CRZ ALT and the MCP ALT, the system logic is conservative in that the
aircraft will always level off a whichever altitude is encountered first. More information on
how VNAV and Altitude Hold logic interact is found in the FMC section of this manual.
Setting up the AFDS for an Autoland occurs with the selection of additional autopilots after APP
is selected on the MCP. Depending on the options set in the panel menu, an autoland sets up
either automatically or manually. If set to occur automatically, the remaining two autopilots
are armed automatically with the selection of the APP mode on the MCP. If set to occur
manually, the pilot must arm the remaining autopilots for engagement by pressing the CMD
buttons for the inactive autopilots after APP has been selected. Regardless of which
engagement method is used, the subsequent actions regarding autoland capability remain the
same.
The aircrafts Autoland capability is indicated on the Autoland Status Annunciator (ASA) located
on the main panel. Any degradation of the aircrafts Autoland capability is annunciated on this
gauge. With the AFDS set for an autoland, the armed autopilots automatically engage at 1500
feet radio height after a self-test has been performed. If the test is normal, LAND2 or LAND 3
annunciates on the ASA if two or three autopilots are engaged respectively. If the system is
only capable of landing using the LAND2 mode (ie. One autopilot inoperative), a NO LAND 3
When set for an autoland, FLARE and ROLLOUT modes are armed and displayed in white on the
EADI. These modes replace the GS and LOC modes during the autoland maneuver and
subsequently turn green when activated. The AFDS remains in the ROLLOUT mode after
landing until the autopilots are disconnected manually by the pilot.
The power sources for each engaged autopilot are automatically isolated from 1500 feet radio
height until the completion of the autoland. The left and right autopilots are powered from
the left and right electrical systems respectively. The center autopilot becomes powered by
the standby/battery system. If a power source fails between 1500 and 200 feet radio height,
the electrical system reverts to normal operation and the ASA displays LAND 2 and NO LAND 3
messages in the ASA. If a power source fails below 200 feet radio height, the electrical systems
remain isolated and the automatic landing continues on the remaining autopilots. In this case,
the ASA does not change except to indicate a NO AUTOLND condition.
When GA is engaged, the AFDS and A/T command for a 2000 fpm climb at the airspeed
displayed in the MCP IAS/MACH window. The AFDS also commands the aircraft to maintain the
same inertial track established at the time the GA button was pressed. GA is annunciated in
green on the EADI as the current lateral and vertical AFDS modes. The GA modes remain active
until replaced with the selection of a different lateral and vertical mode.
The MCP is located in the center of the main panel and provides for complete control over the
Autoflight System. Light bars in each button illuminate to indicate a currently engaged mode.
Notes: The FD switch is normally turned on prior to takeoff. If an autopilot is engaged with
the flight director switch OFF or in the TO mode, the AFDS switches to VERT SPD and HDG
HOLD modes.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Electrical power is available from four sources: aircraft battery, auxiliary power unit (APU),
external power, and two engine-driven generators. AC and DC electrical buses distribute
power to various aircraft systems. Power distribution is handled automatically via a bus tie
system based on a priority order. Pilot interaction is normally limited to selection of the APU
and external power on the ground.
Battery Power
The aircraft battery is controlled via a latch switch at the top of the electrical panel and is left
in the ON position for all normal operations. The battery provides basic DC power to essential
systems when no other power supply is available. When selected ON, battery power is supplied
via four buses: Hot Battery Bus, Battery Bus, Standby AC Bus and Standby DC Bus. These buses
power essential aircraft components such as emergency equipment, radios, and standby
instruments. If no other power source is available, the battery can provide power to these
systems for about 30 minutes. The MAIN BAT DISCH annunciation indicates that the battery is
being discharged.
Power supplied to the Standby Buses is determined by the Standby Power Selector. Control is
provided by a three position rotary switch with OFF, AUTO and BAT positions. This additional
control over the Standby Buses is important because these buses provide power for the standby
flight instruments as well as some basic warning circuits. In the AUTO mode, power is supplied
to the standby buses automatically based on priority (battery being last) . With the selector in
BAT, the battery alone supplies power to the standby buses and the battery will discharge
(even if other sources are available). With the selector OFF, the standby buses are not
powered. The selector is placed in the AUTO mode for normal operations. The other modes
are used for non-normal operation of the electrical system.
The following is an abbreviated list of important equipment powered by the Battery and
Standby Buses:
To start the APU, the aircraft battery switch must remain ON at all times. Fuel is provided
automatically from the Left FWD Fuel Pump. Moving the spring loaded APU selector to START
initiates the start sequence. The APU FAULT light illuminates briefly during the start as the
APU fuel valve is opened. The APU RUN light flashes twice to indicate a test of the system has
been performed. When the APU is on speed and ready to generate power, the RUN light
illuminates and remains steady. The APU start cycle takes 60 seconds.
APU shutdown is accomplished by placing the selector switch to OFF. The APU FAULT light
flashes momentarily during shutdown as the APU fuel valve is closed. The RUN light
extinguishes when the APU is shut down. If APU bleed air was in use prior to shutdown, the
APU runs for an additional one minute cool down period. Even though the APU switch is OFF,
the APU continues to RUN during this period. It is possible to cancel the shutdown sequence
during the cool down period by momentarily placing the start switch to START. This cancels the
shutdown signal and the APU continues to RUN.
External Power
External power is available on the ground by accessing the Level-D Ground Requests menu and
selecting “Power connection”. When external power is selected in the menu, the AVAIL light
illuminates in the EXT PWR pushbutton near the top of the electrical panel. Removal of
external power from the airplane is also done from the Ground Request menu.
External power is not automatically used by the electrical system. It must be manually
selected by pressing the EXT PWR push button. Illumination of the AVAIL light in the push
button only indicates that external power is available for use. Pushing the push button applies
external power to the electrical system (as indicated by illumination of the ON light). Once
selected, external power has priority over all other electrical sources.
Pushing the EXT PWR push button a second time removes external power from the electrical
system and the ON light extinguishes. External power is not automatically removed from the
electrical system except during engine start. After an engine is started, the respective engine
generator automatically powers the respective electrical system. After the second engine is
started, the EXT PWR ON light extinguishes since both engine generators are now powering the
electrical system. The external power connection must be manually removed from the aircraft
using the Level-D Ground Requests menu.
Engine Generators
Left and right engine driven generators are tied into the electrical system via generator control
breakers. These generators operate independently and are capable of individually supplying
electrical power for all aircraft systems. Control for each generator is provided by GEN CONT
switches on the electrical panel. These switches are left IN for all normal operations and
provide for automatic control of the generators.
If a generator overheats or malfunctions it can be disconnected from the engine using the GEN
DRIVE DISC switches. Double-clicking on this switch disconnects the generator and illuminates
the DRIVE light. Once disconnected, the drive can only be reconnected on the ground via the
Level-D Ground Requests menu.
Power Distribution
The Bus Tie System controls the distribution of electrical power to the Left and Right Main AC
Buses. In normal operations, with both engine generators operating, the Bus Tie switches
isolate the Left and Right electrical systems so that each generator supplies power to its
respective Main AC Bus.
FOR FLIGHT SIMULATOR USE ONLY.
NOT FOR USE IN REAL AVIATION
Level-D Simulations 767-300 33
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Control for this system is provided by two Bus Tie switches on the electrical panel. These
switches are normally left in the AUTO position and are only switched OFF by procedure. In the
AUTO position, the Bus Tie switches automatically open and close so that only one source of
power reaches its respective Main AC Bus.
The Bus Tie switches control power to their respective Main AC bus based on the following
priority:
The selection of External Power overrides all of these power sources. In this case, both Bus Tie
switches close to allow external power to reach each Main AC bus and any generator (engine or
APU) supplying power would be removed from the system. When external power is ON, it must
be manually de-selected by pressing the EXT PWR pushbutton a second time. External power is
automatically removed from the system after both engines are started.
Main AC Buses
The Left and Right Main AC Buses are the main source of electrical power for a majority of
aircraft systems. They can only be powered from the APU, Engine Generator or External Power.
Normally the Left generator supplies power to the Left AC Bus and the right generator supplies
power to the Right AC Bus. A loss of one generator causes the BUS TIE relays to close allowing
one generator to power both AC buses. If the APU were selected ON in this case, the Bus Tie
system would react to re-isolate the Main Buses.
The Left Main AC Bus is the most critical bus on the aircraft. It is the power source for the
following instruments:
The Right Main AC bus powers most of the remaining systems with the exception of those found
on the Standby and Battery buses.
Utility Buses
The main electric panel has switches for the Left and Right Utility Buses. These buses control
power for galley items and the left and right recirculation fans. These switches are left ON for
all normal operations. During engine starts these buses automatically load shed to conserve
electric power for the start. The Utility Bus OFF lights illuminate during the start sequence
when load shedding occurs.
2- Battery Discharge Light: Illuminates when the main battery is being discharged. Normally
the battery is charged from the Right Main AC Bus and this light is extinguished.
2a- APU Battery Discharge Light: Illuminates when the APU battery is being discharged.
3- Standby Power Selector: Controls the power source for the Standby Buses.
BAT - The Standby Buses are powered from the Battery only.
4- Standby Bus OFF Light: The Standby Buses are not powered if illuminated. Some critical
instruments will fail in this case (ex. Standby flight instruments).
Switch OUT - The APU GEN breaker is open and power cannot be supplied by the APU.
OFF - The APU GEN control switch is OFF or there is a fault in the APU generator
while it is running.
2- External Power Control Switch: Applies and removes EXT PWR to the system when pressed.
ON - Indicates that external power is being used to power the aircraft systems.
3- Bus Tie Control Switches: Controls the flow of power to the Left and Right AC Buses.
4- Main AC Bus Off Light: When illuminated indicates that the respective Main AC Bus is not
powered.
Switch IN - Power is supplied to the utility bus automatically when the respective Main
AC Bus is powered.
OFF - The Generator breaker is open and power is not available to the system.
7- Generator Drive Disconnect Switches: Physically disconnects the generator drive from the
engine when double-clicked. Once disconnected, the generator is no longer available for use
and can only be reconnected on the ground via the Ground Requests menu.
DRIVE - Illuminates if the generator drive oil temperature is high, generator oil pressure is
low, or the generator drive has been disconnected.
APU Controls
1- APU Selector Switch: Controls the operation of the APU. Note that the Battery switch must
be ON to successfully start the APU.
ON - Moving from OFF to ON opens the APU fuel valve and arms the APU for starting.
- Commands the Left FWD Fuel Pump ON.
- Once started, the APU continues to RUN in this position.
2- APU RUN Light: Steady illumination indicates that the APU is running and is available to
supply electrical and pneumatic power.
3- APU FAULT Light: Steady illumination indicates an APU fault. Momentary illumination
indicates that the APU fuel valve is in transit (during starting and shutdown).

Engine Controls
Primary control of engine power is by the throttles located on the center pedestal (called up by
pressing PDST on the main panel). The throttles can be controlled manually by the pilot or
automatically through the use of the autothrottles. When the autothrottle is in use, the pilot
can still override them by moving the throttles manually. However, the power setting
previously commanded by the autothrottle is always restored when released. One exception to
this is the throttle hold mode. Annunciation of “THR HLD” on the EADI indicates that the
autothrottle is temporarily disconnected from the power levers. This gives the pilot complete
control over power settings. The use and operation of the autothrottle is described in more
detail in the AFDS section.
The STATUS page is available on the lower EICAS by pressing the STATUS button located below
the EICAS screens. The secondary engine data display can be restored by pressing the ENGINE
button located next to the STATUS button. The lower EICAS screen can be toggled OFF by
reselecting the ENGINE or STATUS button while the respective screen is displayed.
Engine indications on the EICAS screen will change color to indicate parameters that are in a
caution range or exceeding a limit. Yellow indicates the caution range and red indicates the
limit range. This convention applies to engine data on both EICAS screens. Additionally, the
N2 gauge on the lower EICAS displays a magenta index line during engine start. This index line
represents the minimum N2 for placing the fuel control switch to RUN. Placing the fuel control
switch to RUN at an N2 below the index line may cause start problems.
The Start switch is a multi-position switch with GND, AUTO, OFF, FLT and CONT positions.
Normally this switch is left in the AUTO position. Moving the start switch to the GND position
initiates the start by opening the start valve and energizing the selected igniter(s). The switch
automatically springs back to AUTO after engine start. The OFF position manually shuts off
ignition and closes the start valve. The FLT position provides ignition to the engines from both
ignition sources (regardless of igniter switch position) and is usually used for emergency in-
flight engine restarts. The CONT position provides ignition to the engine from only the selected
igniter and is usually used during turbulence or heavy rain to prevent flameout.
The igniter switch indicates which of the two igniters in each engine is used for starting and
CONT mode operation. When 1 is selected, the number 1 igniter is used. When 2 is selected,
the number 2 igniter is used. When BOTH is selected, both igniters are used in each engine.
Engine Starting
Engine starts require the use of bleed air, electric power and fuel. Bleed air can be supplied
by the APU, the other engine, or an external air source. The aircraft battery is the minimum
electric requirement for engine start. The fuel to each engine is supplied under pressure via
electric fuel pumps.
In order to supply sufficient pressure for the engine start, the air conditioning Packs must be
OFF and the isolation valves must be open. A minimum of 25psi duct pressure is required.
Placing the engine start switch to GND initiates the engine start. This action opens the start
valve which permits bleed air to rotate the engine. The momentary illumination of the VALVE
light indicates that the start valve has opened. A magenta index line on the N2 gauge indicates
the minimum N2 for adding fuel. When N2 is above the index line, the fuel control switch can
be moved to RUN to introduce fuel into the engine. Light-off occurs soon after as indicated by
an increase in EGT. At approximately 50% N2 the start switch moves back to AUTO and the
VALVE light flashes momentarily as the start valve closes. The engine then stabilizes at idle
thrust.
The TRP has the following modes: TO, D-TO, CLB, CLB1, CLB2, CRZ, CON, and GA. Each mode
can be selected using the TRP buttons (except D-TO which is selected via the FMC). TO and D-
TO are takeoff power modes. CLB, CLB1 and CLB2 are climb power modes. CRZ is the cruise
power mode. CON is the continuous power mode. GA is the go-around power mode.
Takeoff power modes are as follows: Takeoff power (TO) and de-rated takeoff power (D-TO).
In the TO mode, the computer calculates the maximum takeoff power for the current outside
air temperature. In the D-TO mode, a temperature higher than current airport temperature
(called the assumed temperature) is used to calculate the reduced thrust setting. This
temperature is entered into the FMC Takeoff Reference Page which is translated into a power
setting indicated on the EICAS. The assumed temperature is calculated primarily on the basis
of aircraft takeoff weight for a given airport runway. Higher assumed temperatures translate
into lower power settings and vice-versa. Pressing TO on the TRP cancels the D-TO mode.
Climb power modes are as follows: Full climb power (CLB), de-rated climb power one (CLB1),
and de-rated climb power two (CLB2). CLB1 and CLB2 offer reduced climb power settings when
full climb power is not required. CLB2 offers the lowest climb power setting available that
allows the plane to climb safely after takeoff and meet all obstacle clearance requirements.
Pre-selection of a reduced climb power mode can be done on the ground using the TRP
buttons. Pressing the 1 or 2 button on the TRP results in a white 1 or 2 displayed next to the
green TO display on the EICAS. This indicates that the selected de-rated CLB mode will engage
after takeoff. This occurs automatically with the selection of an AFDS vertical mode (FL CH,
VNAV, or V/S). CLB1 or CLB2 is then displayed in green on the EICAS. If no climb mode is pre-
selected, the TRP commands full climb power (CLB).
Switching between engaged climb modes is accomplished via the TRP buttons. If climbing in
the full climb mode (CLB), pressing 1 or 2 engages the CLB1 or CLB2 mode respectively.
Subsequent switching between de-rated climb modes is accomplished by selecting the other
mode button on the TRP. However, canceling a de-rated climb mode is accomplished by
selecting the button corresponding to the presently engaged de-rate mode. Pressing CLB in
this case will have no effect on the engaged mode. For example, if CLB1 is the currently
engaged mode, pressing the 1 button on the TRP switches to the CLB mode. If CLB2 is the
currently engaged mode, pressing the 2 button on the TRP switches to the CLB mode.
In the cruise (CRZ) mode, the TRP displays the maximum cruise power setting available based
on altitude and temperature. The CRZ mode is automatically engaged when leveling off at the
pre-programmed FMC cruise altitude. Otherwise, this mode can be engaged manually by
pressing CRZ on the TRP panel. When the autothrottle is in use, the CRZ thrust index
represents the maximum power available for use by the autothrottle in cruise, even though less
power is generally required to maintain airspeed.
Continuous (CON) and Go-around (GA) power are the remaining TRP modes. Pressing the CON
key displays the maximum continuous power setting available for the current altitude and
temperature. This mode is generally used during single engine operations or while in icing
conditions. The GA mode is automatically engaged when flaps are selected to 1 while on
approach for landing. Pressing the TO/GA button in flight manually selects the GA mode. The
GA mode displays the maximum go-around power setting to be used in the event of a go-
around.
2- Ignition Selector: Selects the source of ignition for engine starts and CONT mode. Normally
igniter 1 is used on odd-numbered flights and igniter 2 is used for even-numbered flights. The
BOTH position is used for abnormal condition starts or cold weather operations.
3- Start Valve Light: When illuminated, indicates that the start valve is not in the commanded
position. Illuminates when the start valve is in transit during engine start.
ENG VALVE - Indicates that the engine valve is not in the commanded position.
- Illuminates momentarily when the valve is in transit.
SPAR VALVE - Indicates that the spar valve is not in the commanded position.
- Illuminates momentarily when the valve is in transit.
OFF - Engine thrust is not limited and can be set beyond maximum limits.
Note: When an EEC is selected OFF or INOP, the N1 thrust limit pointer and command sector for
the respective engine are not displayed.
N1 DATA DISPLAY
1- TAT Temperature Display: Displays the current outside air temperature in Celsius.
2- Assumed Temperature (De-rated Power): Displays the temperature entered into the FMC
Takeoff Reference Page upon which the reduced thrust calculation is based.
3- Thrust Reference Mode: Displays the current thrust mode as selected by the TRP. A white
1 or 2 in this display indicates a de-rated climb mode has been pre-selected.
4- N1 Thrust Reference (digital): Displays the thrust reference commanded by the TRP.
6- N1 Pointer Display: Displays the current N1 power setting in round dial format.
7- Command Thrust Display: This extended arc is called the command sector. It shows the
difference between current engine N1 and the commanded N1 based on power lever position.
8- N1 Thrust Reference Pointer: Displays the thrust reference commanded by the TRP. This
pointer shows the same value as the N1 Thrust Digital Reference.
9- N1 Limit Pointer: Displays the N1 limit for each engine. This limit is determined by the EEC
which acts to restrict power to this limit regardless of the power lever position. When the EEC
is OFF, this line disappears and engine thrust is unrestricted.
CLB - Used to select CLB power while in flight if previously in TO/GA, CON or CRZ.
- If a de-rated climb mode is engaged, selecting CLB has no effect. To engage CLB
mode from CLB1 or CLB2, press the 1 or 2 button (currently engaged mode).

POSTFLIGHT
Aircraft shutdown:
Pressing the MASTER WARNING button on the glare shield silences the fire bell. The only way
to remove the other fire warnings is to eliminate the fire.
Each engine has a fire handle that is used to contain an engine fire. The fire handles
illuminate red when a fire is detected in the associated engine. There are two fire
extinguishing bottles installed to fight a fire in either engine. The fire bottles are controlled
by the fire handles. Pulling the engine fire handle does the following:
To discharge a fire bottle into the engine, rotate the fire handle to the left or right. If the fire
is not extinguished in 30 seconds, rotate the fire handle in the opposite direction to discharge
the remaining bottle. The only indication that a fire has been put out is the elimination of the
fire warnings (ie. Fire handle is no longer illuminated).
APU Fire
The APU is continuously monitored for fire. If a fire is detected in the APU compartment, the
following actions occur:
The APU has its own fire extinguishing bottle. Pulling the APU fire handle arms this bottle for
discharge. Rotating the fire handle in either direction discharges the APU fire bottle. The only
indication that an APU fire has been put out is the elimination of the fire warning (ie. APU Fire
handle is no longer illuminated).
There are no fire protection devices installed to fight a wheel well fire. The only procedure
available is to lower the landing gear and land at the nearest suitable airport.
Cargo Fire
The forward and aft cargo compartments are monitored for fire. If a fire is detected in one of
these compartments, the following actions occur:
There are three fire bottles available for use in the cargo compartments. The discharge of
these bottles is handled automatically once a discharge has been initiated. To fight a cargo
fire, press the illuminated ARM button on the Cargo Fire panel and then press and hold the BTL
DISCH switch. This initiates the automatic discharge of the fire bottles into the armed
compartment.
1- Engine Fire Handle: Illuminates red if a fire is detected. To pull the handle out, press on
the center of the handle. To discharge bottle 1, press in the area of the minus sign. To
discharge bottle 2, press in the area of the plus sign.
3- ENG BTL DISCH Light: Illuminates when the respective engine fire bottle is discharged.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
Flight controls on the 767 are broken down into two groups. Primary flight controls are the
elevators, ailerons and the rudder. Secondary flight controls are the leading edge slats,
trailing edge flaps, stabilizer trim, aileron trim, rudder trim, and the spoilers. Some of these
controls have an absolute requirement for hydraulic power to function. Others have
electrically powered alternate systems to serve as a backup.
If hydraulic power is completely lost due to a dual engine flameout, a Ram Air Turbine (RAT) in
the center hydraulic system is automatically deployed. The RAT provides sufficient hydraulic
power in the center system for movement of all primary flight controls. The RAT can be
deployed manually via an overhead panel switch if required. A minimum airspeed of 130 knots
is required for the RAT to function properly.
The ailerons have an inboard and an outboard control surface on each wing. The outboard
ailerons are locked out as speed increases. This limits the twisting moment on the wings at
higher airspeeds. The inboard ailerons droop when the trailing edge flaps are deployed. This
permits greater aileron control and lift during flap deployment. Aileron droop can be observed
on the flight control display on the STATUS page.
The distribution of hydraulic power to the primary flight controls is such that one hydraulic
system is capable of providing partial control to the essential control surfaces. The elevators
and rudder receive hydraulic power from all three hydraulic systems. The ailerons receive
hydraulic power as follows:
FLAPS
The leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps use hydraulic power from the Center hydraulic
system only. Flap position is selected by the flap handle on the pedestal or by the keyboard.
Flap positions are indicated on the flap indicator on the main panel and may be selected into
the following positions: Up, 1, 5, 15, 20, 25, and 30. Selecting flaps to 1 moves only the
leading edge slats into position. The trailing edge flaps begin to move with the selection of
flaps 5.
The normal takeoff flap setting is 15. Selection of flaps 5 for takeoff is available when
required for performance. The normal landing flap setting is 30. Flaps 25 may be used when
conditions require the use of a reduced flap setting (ie. High winds). Flaps 20 is used only for a
single engine emergency landing.
A flap warning system monitors movement of both leading and trailing edge flaps when
selected. If the leading edge slats fail, a LEADING EDGE caution is activated. If the trailing
edge flaps fail, a TRAILING EDGE caution is activated. If either of these cautions is received,
the alternate flap system may be used to correct the flap malfunction.
Alternate flap controls are available to move the flaps electrically. The alternate flap controls
are located below the flap indicator on the main panel. Pressing the LE (leading edge) or TE
(trailing edge) buttons arms the respective flap system for electric operation. The flaps are
then moved into position using the selector switch.
Flap load relief is provided when flaps 30 are selected. If the airspeed exceeds the flaps 30
limit, the flaps automatically retract to 25 until the airspeed is reduced below the flaps 30
speed limit. Flap load relief is not provided when using the alternate flap controls.
STABILIZER TRIM
The stabilizer trim system is used by both the pilot and the autopilot to trim control forces on
the elevators during flight. This system uses hydraulic power from the left and center
hydraulic systems. The pilot moves the trim using the yoke or keyboard controls. The
autopilot moves the trim automatically when engaged in the CMD mode. Trim position
indicators are located on the pedestal next to the throttle quadrant.
A stabilizer trim warning system monitors the stabilizer trim for uncommanded movement. An
UNSCHEDULED STAB TRIM caution is generated if movement of the stabilizer trim is detected
without an appropriate command from the pilot or autopilot. This is a so called “runaway
trim” condition. To correct this condition, two STAB TRIM CUT OUT switches located on the
pedestal are used to cut off hydraulic power to the stabilizer trim system.
Alternate stabilizer trim controls are available on the pedestal if the normal trim switches fail
to operate. Moving the levers labeled STAB and TRIM mechanically signals trim movement.
Hydraulic power is required for the stab trim to move using the alternate trim controls.
SPOILERS
The spoilers are a group of flat panels on the top of the main wing that reduce the lift on the
wing when raised. They are primarily used when a steeper than normal descent is required and
upon touchdown during landing. Each spoiler panel is powered from one of the three
hydraulic systems such that partial spoiler deployment is possible on both wings with multiple
hydraulic failures.
The spoilers are controlled by a spoiler handle on the pedestal or by using the keyboard. The
ARMED position provides for automatic spoiler deployment upon landing to facilitate the
transfer of aircraft weight from the wings to the landing gear (ie. Prevent a bounce). System
logic re-stows the spoilers if the aircraft becomes airborne again during a go—around. The
spoilers are automatically deployed regardless of position anytime the thrust reversers are
activated.
The aileron and rudder trim controls can be found on the pedestal. These controls are used to
zero out undesired control forces in the ailerons and rudder.
2- Flap Indicator: Left and Right pointers indicate actual flap position for both wings.
3- Flap Cautions: Illuminate when flaps are not in the commanded position.
4- Alternate Flap Selector: Electrically positions flaps to the selected position. Selector is
active when TE and/or LE ALTN buttons are pressed. Flap load relief is not provided when
selecting flaps 30 via the alternate selector.
5- TE and LE Alternate Flap Switches: Must be selected for Alternate Flap Selector to work.
ALTN - Alternate flap selector is armed to electrically move flaps into position.
Note: When using the alternate flap system, the flap handle should be moved in agreement
with the alternately selected flap setting.
6- Spoiler Control Lever: Controls the movement of the spoiler on both wings. There are no
cockpit indicators to indicate spoiler position.
1- Stab Trim Indicator: Displays the current position of the stabilizer trim.
- The white index band moves to indicate the current stabilizer trim position.
- The green bands represent the normal takeoff trim setting range. A CONFIG warning is
generated if the trim is set out of this range and power is advanced for takeoff.
- The Stab Trim range is as follows:
NORM - Normal position of the switch which allows stab trim movement.
CUT OUT - Removes hydraulic power from the respective stab trim system.
3- Stab Trim Manual Control Levers: Movement of these levers with the mouse causes the
stabilizer trim to move in the commanded direction.
Displayed on the lower EICAS STATUS page. The actual position of each flight control surface is
displayed.
1- Aileron Trim Control Switches: Use the mouse to move the aileron trim left or right.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
A combination of standard flight instruments and electronic flight instruments are used in the
767. The electronic instruments are part of the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS).
This system uses symbol generators (SG) to display information on two CRT screens called the
Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI) and the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator
(EHSI). The EHSI and EADI are surrounded by standard flight instruments that are also
electrically powered. All of the flight instruments display information received from a
combination of sources that include the Air Data Computers (ADC), the IRUs, the FMC and the
AFDS.
The symbol generators process and display the information received from all data sources on
the EADI and EHSI. Normally, the left symbol generator drives the left CRT displays and the
right symbol generator drives the right CRT displays. The center symbol generator is available
as a backup via the ISS in case of component failure. A blanking of both CRTs on one side of
the cockpit with a normal electrical system may be an indication of a symbol generator failure.
Using the EFI button on the ISS may restore the displays using the center SG.
The information displayed on the EADI is dependant on alignment of the IRUs. Attitude data on
the EADI is not displayed when the IRUs are not aligned. When the IRUs are aligned in the NAV
mode, the attitude display appears along with the Flight Director (if selected ON). Normally,
each EADI receives data from the on-side IRU (ie. Left from left). In case of on-side IRU
failure, the center IRU may be selected to provide data to the EADI by pressing the IRS button
on the ISS of the affected side.
The information displayed on the EHSI is dependant on alignment of the IRUs. Heading and
track data are not available when the IRUs are not aligned. When the IRUs are aligned in the
NAV mode, heading and track data appear along with FMC route data (if programmed).
Normally, each EHSI receives data from the on-side IRU and FMC. In case of on-side IRU or FMC
failure, the center IRU and the opposite side FMC may be selected to provide data to the EHSI
by pressing the IRS or the FMC button on the ISS of the affected side.
Of all the EHSI modes available, the FMC MAP mode (shown above) is most commonly used for
all operations. Information in this mode is oriented in a “track up” fashion so that the FMC
route displayed on the map is aligned vertically with the aircraft track display. The heading at
the top of the EHSI displays the aircrafts track heading rather than the aircrafts magnetic
heading. The magnetic heading is displayed as a white triangle below the heading arc. The
magnetic heading offsets from the track heading if a crosswind exists. When using the HDG SEL
mode, the AFDS heading bug on the EHSI aligns with the magnetic heading marker. This
concept is shown in the figure above.
There are two Air Data Computers (left and right) that normally provide information for the on-
side instruments. If an ADC has failed or the data becomes unreliable, the opposite side ADC
may be selected to provide data to the flight instruments by pressing the AIR DATA button on
the ISS of the affected side. For those instruments that rely on IRU data, the center IRU acts as
a backup for these instruments via selection of the IRS button on the ISS.
A group of standby flight instruments are available as a backup to the primary flight
instruments. The standby airspeed and altimeter receive data from the pitot static system and
work without electrical power. The standby attitude indicator is battery powered and works
anytime the battery switch is ON. The standby attitude indicator has built in ILS pointers. The
standby ILS uses the same frequency that is dialed into the ILS receiver on the pedestal. The
ILS pointers are displayed when the ILS knob on the standby attitude gauge is set to ILS.
Due to room constraints on the 2D panel, the standby instruments are normally hidden from
view on a sub panel. To display the standby flight instruments, use the key combination
<shift><9> to overlay the sub panel onto the main panel.
1- Attitude Indicator and Airplane Symbol: Displays the current attitude of the aircraft. The
top of the airplane index represents the current pitch attitude. The white triangle at the top
of the attitude ball is the Sky Pointer. The Sky Pointer points to the current bank angle and
always points up toward the sky. The IRUs must be aligned for the attitude ball to display.
2- Flight Director Bars: Commands pitch and roll as indicated by the AFDS. Displayed only
with the FD switch ON. With the single cue flight director (displayed), fly the aircraft symbol
into the flight director bars and make adjustments to keep them closely matched. With the
double cue flight director, fly the aircraft to maintain the vertical and horizontal command
bars centered.
3- Pitch Limit Indicator (PLI): Displays anytime the flaps are not up. Indicates the pitch at
which stick shaker will occur (prior to a stall).
4- Localizer Deviation Scale: Displayed anytime an ILS frequency is dialed into the ILS
receiver. The rising runway symbol displays when the ILS frequency is in range. The runway
begins to rise at 200 feet AGL and continues to rise until meeting the airplane symbol at
touchdown.
5- Glideslope Deviation Scale: Displayed anytime an ILS frequency is dialed into the ILS
receiver.
6- Ground Speed Display: Displays current aircraft ground speed. On the Speed Tape EADI,
the current Mach speed is displayed as well.
7- Autothrottle Mode Display: (green) Displays the currently engaged A/T mode. Engaged
modes are as follows:

armed mode replaces the engaged mode automatically when engaging parameter are met.
10- AFDS Status Display: (green) Displays the engaged AFDS mode.
11- Radio Altimeter and Decision Height Display: The Radio Altimeter (white) displays actual
aircraft height above the ground from 0 to 2500 feet. The Decision Height (green) is selected
on the ADI control panel (pedestal). The display turns amber and the GPWS “minimums” call is
made when the radio altitude reaches the displayed altitude.
12a- ADI Speed Tape: (Speed Tape EADI) Displays a graphical representation of airspeed and
speed references as described below.
Note: Speed Trend Vector shows predicted airspeed in 10 seconds based on acceleration.
The minimum speed references are based on flap setting. Minimum speed is the airspeed
where stick shaker occurs. FMC references only display when programmed.

DME is not available.
2- Signal Pointers: Display the magnetic bearing to the selected VOR or ADF station.
3- VOR/ADF Selectors: Controls which signal is displayed by the respective needle. Placing
either selector to ADF displays the bearing to the active ADF station set in the pedestal.
4- Compass Rose: Aircraft magnetic heading is indicated under the white pointer. Heading
information is derived from the opposite side IRU (ie. Captains RDMI receives right IRU data).
Altimeter Display
3- Altimeter Setting: Use the BARO knob to set the altimeter (IN HG or MB).
4- Altitude Reference Bug: Use the knob to set an altitude reference. The bug is set for
reference only and is not connected to any systems.
5- Altitude (ALT) Alert Light: Illuminates when within 900 feet of the MCP selected altitude
prior to altitude capture. Extinguishes when within 300 feet of the MCP altitude. After
altitude capture, the light re-illuminates when altitude varies by more than 300 feet from the
MCP altitude. An aural warning is also generated.
Clock Display
1- Time Display: Indicates current simulator time. Time can be adjusted using the mouse
click areas on the window.

instruments to use data from the opposite ADC. Used in case of ADC failure.
The FMS subsystems include: Two Flight Management Computers (FMC), a Control Display Unit
(CDU), the AFDS MCP, and the EHSI. The FMCs provide for aircraft position calculation,
performance management, and three dimensional navigation based on data input and
information received from supporting systems. The CDU is the main pilot interface to access
and control information in the FMC. The AFDS MCP permits selection of LNAV and VNAV and
performs the operations commanded by the FMC. The EHSI displays a map of information
generated by the FMC.
The CDU consists of a CRT screen, line select keys (LSK), function keys, and data entry keys.
The LSKs along the sides of the CDU line up with data lines on the CRT and are used to select
and input data on the screen. The function keys are used to cycle through the pages of data
contained in the FMC. The data entry keys are used to input data onto the scratch pad at the
bottom of the CRT screen. Selection of an LSK when data exists in the scratchpad transfers the
data into the data line abeam the LSK. To clear all data entered into the scratchpad, press
and hold the CLR button. Individual presses of the CLR button clears single characters from the
scratchpad.
All data pages in the FMC are structured similarly to the page shown on the left. Data is
structured vertically in left and right columns and line up with LSKs on both sides of the CDU.
The data page on the right side is the LEGS page and is used most often in normal operations.
Its data is structures horizontally such that waypoint information is shown across an entire line
of data. The LEGS page is explained in greater detail in later sections and is presented here as
an overview of CDU display conventions only.
1- Page Title: Identifies the data page displayed on the CDU. Different data displays are
selected by pressing the function keys.
2- Required Data Prompt: Data that is required by the FMC for proper operation is identified
on each page with box prompts. Data is entered into the scratchpad using the data entry keys
and is placed into the box prompts using the corresponding LSK. To delete an incorrect entry,
press DEL data entry key followed by the LSK abeam the incorrect data field.
3- Page Number: Identifies the current page and the number of data pages available. Cycle
through available pages using the NEXT and PREV PAGE function keys.
4- Optional Data Prompt: Optional data that is not required by the FMC for proper operation is
identified on each page with dashed prompts. To delete an incorrect entry, press the DEL data
entry key followed by the LSK abeam the incorrect data field.
5- Waypoint Name and Course: The names of waypoints are displayed in large type since they
are manually entered by the pilot or called up from the FMC database. The predicted magnetic
track to each waypoint is displayed in small type. An exception is when a heading or specific
track is commanded by a procedure selected from the FMC database. The example above
shows a commanded heading (HDG) of 315° as part of a selected procedure.
7- Manually Entered Data: Data that has been manually entered by the pilot is displayed in
large type.
8- Predicted Data: Data that has been calculated by the FMC is shown in small type.
9- Page Prompts: At the bottom of each screen at the 6L and 6R positions are page prompts.
Pressing the corresponding LSK takes calls up a different page of data or performs the function
specified.
To exit the KA mode, simply press the KA mouse click area a second time. Attempting to
control the simulator using keyboard shortcuts is not possible if the FMC is left in the KA mode.
Therefore, if the simulator is not responding to keyboard controls, check to ensure the FMC is
no longer in the KA mode.
INIT REF - Initialization and Reference page. There are six different INIT REF pages
available. The page displayed when the INIT REF key is pressed varies based on phase of
flight. The “<INDEX” prompt on the INIT REF page displays a list of all INIT REF pages
available.
RTE - Route page. This page is used during preflight to enter waypoints and airways from
the flightplan into the FMC. Airway entries are converted into waypoints automatically.
DEP ARR - Departure and Arrival pages. Airport specific departure (SID), arrival (STAR), and
approach (APP) procedures are selected from these pages.
VNAV - Vertical navigation pages. Three VNAV pages are available: Climb, Cruise, and
Descent. Data entry on these pages is required by the FMC before VNAV can be engaged.
FIX – Fix page. Permits entry of a navigational point not available on the active route. The
point entered displays on the EHSI when in the selected range.
LEGS - Legs pages. The LEGS pages display all waypoints in the programmed route. The
waypoints shown on the LEGS pages are used for LNAV. Most modifications to the active
route are made from these pages.
HOLD - Hold page. Holding patterns are entered and controlled from this page. Any
waypoint in the LEGS page can have a holding pattern assigned to it.
PROG - Progress pages. Flight progress data for the active route is summarized on the
PROGRESS pages.
EXEC - Execute key. This key lights up any time there has been a modification
to FMC data that requires "execution" before being utilized.
MENU - Menu key. The menu screen is displayed when the FMC is initially powered up. It
contains prompts to access the FMC and to save LEGS page data.
PREV/NEXT PAGE - When pressed, cycles through pages on the CDU. A page counter is
shown on each CDU screen in the upper right corner (x/x). If more than one page of data is
available, pressing these keys switches between available pages.
Note: The TAKEOFF page is available through the INDEX or via the 6R LSK on the PERF INIT
page.
1- IDENT: The identification page shows information about FMC programs. It is the starting
point for preflight programming of the FMC.
2- POS: The position initialization (POS INIT) page provides for the entry and display of IRU
position data.
3- PERF: The performance initialization (PERF INIT) page is used to enter performance data
required for VNAV calculations.
4- TAKEOFF: The takeoff reference page (TAKEOFF REF) displays takeoff speeds and thrust
information.
5- APPROACH: The approach reference page (APPROACH REF) displays landing speeds and ILS
frequency information for the selected landing runway.
6- NAV DATA: The nav data page provides information on navigation fixes.
The IDENT page is the starting point for the preflight of the FMC. The data listed on this page
cannot be changed and is for reference only. Since many different models of 767’s exist, it is
important to confirm that the proper data has been loaded into the FMC. Check to be sure the
MODEL, ENGINES, and NAV DATA fields are correct for the aircraft.
To facilitate preflight data entry, the next page requiring data entry is prompted for at the 6R
LSK on all INIT REF pages. Pressing the “POS INIT>” prompt at the 6R LSK calls up the POS INIT
page without having to return to the index page.
The POS INIT page is used to enter aircraft position coordinates during alignment of the IRS.
The current FMC clock time is displayed but cannot be changed from this page. Second and
third POS INIT pages are available to check current FMC and IRS positions.
1- LAST POS: Last aircraft position in lat/long format is displayed. Pressing the 1R LSK
transfers the coordinates displayed to the scratchpad.
2- REF AIRPORT: This field accepts the four character ICAO airport identifier. Type the airport
ICAO code into the scratch pad and press the 2L LSK to enter data into this field.
3- REF AIRPORT POSITION: The lat/long coordinates of the REF AIRPORT are displayed here
when an ICAO code is entered at the 2L LSK. Pressing the 2R LSK when coordinates are present
transfers the coordinates displayed to the scratchpad.
4- SET IRS POS: These boxes are displayed when the IRS is in the ALIGN mode and present
position coordinates have not been entered. Pressing the 5R LSK when coordinates are present
in the scratchpad transfers the coordinates to the IRS during alignment. The coordinates
entered are displayed until IRS alignment is complete.
5- Preflight Prompt: Press to call up the next data page required for preflight.
N----.-W-----.-
N----.-E-----.-
S----.-W-----.-
S----.-E-----.-
For example, pressing the 1R LSK on the pictured POS INIT page results in N4221.1W07100.7
being transferred to the scratchpad.
There are four methods available to determine the aircrafts position for coordinate entry
during IRS alignment:
1- LAST POS – Use the last position coordinates by pressing the 1R LSK to transfer the data into
the scratchpad.
2- REF AIRPORT – Use the airport coordinates by pressing the 2R LSK (when data is shown) to
transfer the data into the scratchpad.
3- Charted Coordinates – Third party simulator charts often list coordinates for airport gates.
If parked at a gate with known coordinates, these can be manually entered into the scratchpad
and used for IRS alignment. The coordinates entered must be in the format shown above.
4- <SHIFT><Z> Feature – Pressing this key combination displays the aircrafts exact position
across the top of the simulator window. The following is an example of what is displayed and
what should be entered into the CDU scratchpad:
The coordinates displayed by FS2004 need to be formatted into the format acceptable to the
FMC. Notice that “.61” is rounded to “.6”. Also, the W coordinate of “73” is entered as
“073”. This is important since entering “W7346.6” generates an error message. Adding a
leading “0” is not required when the longitude is 100 or above. For example, W101*46.61
would be formatted as W10146.6 in the FMC.
From the POS INIT page, two other pages of data are available by pressing the NEXT or PREV
PAGE function keys. The position reference (POS REF) pages display the current positions of
the FMC and the IRUs.
The FMC position is normally determined using the weighted average of the three IRU positions.
If an IRU fails, the FMC reverts to using the on-side IRU for position determination. If the on-
side IRU is not available, the FMC uses the center IRU for position determination.
The IRU position is updated using VOR DME information when available during flight. If a radio
update is not available, the FMC position is the same as the IRU position. If the FMC position
has not been radio updated within 12 minutes, an IRS NAV ONLY message is displayed in the
scratchpad. If this message is displayed, check that both NAV radios are set to AUTO so that
the FMC can auto-tune the radios to receive an update.
1- FMC Position: The current position of the FMC is displayed here. The source used to
determine the FMC position is indicated in brackets.
2- IRS Position: The current IRS position being used by the FMC is displayed here. The IRUs
being used to calculate the IRS position is indicated in brackets.
3- Radio Position: Displays the current position as determined by the tuned radios.
4- Radio Update Stations: Displays the radio station identifiers used to determine the radio
position.
5- L/C/R IRS Position Display: Displays the current latitude/longitude positions and ground
speed for the respective IRU.
6- Bearing/Distance Display: Pressing the 6R LSK displays the IRS position data in
bearing/distance format relative to the current FMC position. When information is displayed in
the BRG/DIST format, the 6R LSK prompt changes to “LAT/LON>” to switch the display back to
the latitude/longitude display format.
The PERF INIT page contains data used by the FMC in performance calculations. The data on
this page is required if VNAV is to be used.
1- Gross Weight: The gross weight (in thousands) of the airplane can be entered here manually
or automatically. This data field updates automatically when the Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) field
is manually entered. Making a manual entry causes data on the Takeoff page to be deleted.
2- Fuel: The fuel weight (in thousands) on board the aircraft can be set manually or
automatically. CALC indicates that the fuel load has been automatically calculated by the
FMC.
3- Zero Fuel Weight: The zero fuel weight (in thousands) of the aircraft can be entered here
manually or automatically. This data field updates automatically when the Gross Weight (GR
WT) field is manually entered. Making a manual entry causes data on the Takeoff page to be
deleted.
4- Reserves: The amount of reserve fuel (in thousands) is entered manually in this field. This
value is the minimum fuel required before a warning is generated by the FMC. When the FMC
predicts that arrival fuel will be less than reserves, an INSUFFICIENT FUEL warning is generated
in the scratchpad. Fuel calculations on the HOLD page are also dependant on this value.
5- Cruise Altitude: The cruise altitude for the planned route is entered here. This field can be
updated manually or automatically by loading a flight plan. The value in this field is linked to
the CRZ ALT fields on the VNAV Climb and Cruise pages. The following are examples of valid
entries for this field:
6- Cost Index: The FMC Economy (ECON) calculations are based on the value entered in this
field. The standard value entered is 80. Values can range from 0 to 9999. Entering “0” gives
maximum range airspeed and minimum fuel consumption. Higher values increase the cruise
speed and fuel consumption for the calculated ECON speed.
7- Step Size: Displays the step climb value used for VNAV STEP TO performance calculations.
ICAO is the standard value and indicates a step climb size of 2000 feet below FL290 and 4000
feet above FL290. Valid entries range from 0 to 9000 in 1000 foot increments. When “0” is
entered, all VNAV predictions are based on a constant cruise altitude.
8- Preflight Prompt: Press to call up the next data page required for preflight.
The TAKEOFF REF page is used to enter flap and thrust information for FMC takeoff
performance calculations.
1- Takeoff Flaps: Takeoff flap setting is entered here. Valid entries are 5, 15, and 20. Flaps
15 is standard. Takeoff speeds are recalculated and a TAKEOFF SPEEDS DELETED message is
generated any time the FLAPS field is updated. This field is the only TAKEOFF REF field
required to be filled in for proper FMC operation.
2- Takeoff Thrust: Optional entry to de-rate calculated takeoff thrust. The value entered
here is called the “assumed temperature”. Valid entries are from 0 to 99° C. No temperature
entry results in maximum takeoff power. The entered temperature and commanded thrust
settings are displayed on the EICAS N1 data display.
Takeoff speeds and thrust settings are automatically recalculated anytime the THRUST field is
updated. To delete a temperature entry, press DEL on the data entry keyboard followed by
the 2L LSK.
Note: The calculation of the reduced thrust temperature involves variables such as runway
length, slope, altitude, and departure path obstacles. It is impossible to provide proper
guidance for every runway available in FS2004. Therefore the use of reduced thrust
settings is pilot discretion. As a guide, for long runways (>10,000 feet) use a value of 54°
C. For shorter runways, use a value between current airport temperature and 54° C. The
lower the temperature, the lower the de-rated thrust.
3- Runway/Position: Displays the runway entered in the ROUTE page on which takeoff data is
based. The optional /POS line is for planned autothrottle engagement in feet from the runway
threshold. To enter a value, type “/XXXX” (XXXX is the distance) and press the 4L LSK. This
value is used by the FMC for a position update when the autothrottle is engaged during the
takeoff roll.
4- Takeoff Reference Speeds: Takeoff Vref speeds are displayed here. They may be entered
manually or automatically. Speeds are automatically entered when a flap setting has been
entered. Speeds update anytime performance data or takeoff data fields are changed.
5- Takeoff Gross Weight: Accepts a manually entered value that has no bearing on FMC data.
INCOMPLETE - Data entry is still required to finish preflight programming. Cycle through
the INIT REF pages and the ROUTE page to see if any data boxes are
unfilled.
COMPLETE - All required data has been filled in for proper FMC operation.
1- Wind: Airport wind and speed may be entered here. Entry is XXX/xx where XXX is magnetic
direction and xx is speed in knots.
2- Runway Wind: When the wind is entered at the 3L data line, the relative wind components
for the selected runway are displayed here. H or T is displayed to denote a headwind or
tailwind component. L or R is displayed to denote a crosswind component and relative
direction.
3- Slope and Condition: Runway slope and condition information can be entered here. The
slope may be entered as UX.X or DX.X, where U and D indicate up or down and X.X is the slope
value. The condition may be entered as /DRY, /D or /WET, /W.
4- Acceleration Height: The height at which VNAV begins to accelerate after takeoff is
entered here. The default acceleration value is 1000. Valid entries are from 400 to 9999 feet.
5- Limited Takeoff Gross Weight: The maximum gross weight of the aircraft is displayed here.
Pressing the INIT REF key while in flight calls up the Approach Reference page. On the ground,
this page is available via the INIT REF INDEX page. Approach reference data is displayed and
updates automatically based on aircraft weight.
1- Gross Weight: The FMC automatically calculates the gross weight of the aircraft. This value
may be manually entered if the gross weight is not shown or is incorrect.
2- Approach Reference Speeds: Approach Vref speeds update automatically when a weight is
entered into the GROSS WT field. Flaps 25 and 30 are normal flap landing speeds. Flaps 20 is
the landing speed used for single engine operations.
3- Runway Length: The length in feet and meters of the selected departure or arrival runway.
The reference airport is shown in small type above the data box. The departure runway length
is displayed until the lesser of 400 miles from the departure airport or halfway to the
destination. Otherwise, the runway length for the arrival runway in the active route is
displayed.
4- Frequency and Course: The ILS frequency and approach course for the selected runway is
displayed here and at the 5R position. The frequency shown is for the departure runway until
the lesser of 400 miles from the departure airport or halfway to the destination. Otherwise,
the frequency and course for the arrival runway in the active route are displayed.
5- Flap/Speed: This line accepts the entry of a different flap/speed combination. Entries in
this data field have no effect on other performance data.
The Route page is displayed by pressing the RTE function key. The FMC is capable of storing
two routes: RTE 1 and RTE2. Only one route can be activated at a time while the inactive
route remains stored in memory. When working with an inactive route, the waypoints are
drawn on the EHSI and connected with a blue dashed line. The waypoints in the active route
are drawn full time on the EHSI and connected with a magenta line. The active route is used
when navigating in LNAV mode.
The page title at the top of the screen indicates which route is displayed. The following page
titles are possible: (X=1 or 2)
RTE X - The route displayed is an inactive route. The “ACTIVATE>” prompt is shown
at the 6R LSK. The route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
ACT RTE X - The route displayed is the active route. The route is drawn on the EHSI with a
solid magenta line.
MOD RTE X - The route displayed is active, but has a modification to it that needs to be
executed before the changes become active. The modified portion of the
route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
Route Page 2 is accessed by pressing the NEXT PAGE function key. The entry of waypoints and
airways is made from this page. When the page is full of waypoints, a new RTE page is created
for continued route programming. Moving between RTE pages is accomplished using the NEXT
and PREV PAGE function keys.
When working with an inactive route, changes made on the RTE pages do not require
execution. When working with an active route, any changes made on the RTE pages require
execution with the EXEC key before becoming active.
1- Origin: Enter the 4-letter ICAO identifier for the departure airport. Making an entry in this
data field on the ground clears the programmed route. Entry is inhibited in flight. This field is
automatically filled when loading a flight plan using the CO ROUTE feature.
2- Departure Runway: Enter the departure runway for the origin airport. This field is
automatically filled when using the CO ROUTE feature. The departure runway can also be
selected using the DEPARTURES page. The runway selected must be in the nav database.
3- Destination: Enter the 4-leter ICAO identifier for the arrival airport. This field is
automatically filled when loading a flight plan using the CO ROUTE feature.
4- Flight Number: Optional entry of the flight number can be made here. The flight number
(if entered) displays on the PROGRESS page.

5- Company Route: Enter the name of a saved flight plan to automatically load a pre-
programmed route. Saving routes in the FMC is discussed later in this chapter.
6- Activate Prompt: Pressing the 6R LSK arms the displayed route for activation. Pressing the
illuminated EXEC function key activates the route. To cancel activation (prior to pressing
EXEC), use the “<ERASE” prompt that appears at the 6L LSK. This cancels the activation, but
does not clear the programmed route.
7- TO Column: The entry of waypoints is made in the TO column. Valid waypoint entries
include fixes, navaids, airports, runways, and special waypoints (see Valid Waypoint Types in
the next section for examples).
To make a waypoint entry, type the name into the scratchpad and press the LSK abeam the
dashed prompts in the right hand column. Anytime box prompts are displayed in the TO
column, a waypoint entry is required. This occurs anytime an airway entry is made in the VIA
column. When waypoints are entered into the TO column without an airway entry in the VIA
column, the word DIRECT appears in the VIA column.
8- VIA Column: The entry of airways is made in the VIA column. To enter an airway, a starting
waypoint must be entered in the TO column. The airway name is then entered in the VIA
column on the next line down from the starting waypoint. Box prompts open up in the TO
column because an ending waypoint on the airway is required to complete the programming.
This example shows a Jet airway being programmed. The same entry method is used for
Victor, Amber, Upper and other types of airways. The only difference is the starting letter.
Other data is displayed automatically in the VIA column. When making waypoint to waypoint
entries in the TO column, the word DIRECT appears in the VIA column. When selecting a
departure or arrival procedure from the nav database (using DEP ARR key), the name of the
selected procedure is shown in the VIA column.
9- RTE X Prompt: (X=1 or 2) Press the 6L LSK to switch between the display of RTE 1 and RTE
2. Switching between routes has no affect on the active route. Modifications to the inactive
route have no affect on the active route. To activate the inactive route, press the
“ACTIVATE>” prompt at the 6R LSK followed by the EXEC key. The previously active route
remains in memory as the inactive route.
Published Waypoints – Enter the name of the waypoint as it appears on a chart. Examples
include: NEION, HOPCE, CORDS, DARBO.
ILS – Enter the identifier for the ILS frequency as shown on a chart.
Examples include: IHIQ, IJFK, ITLK, IRTH.
ICAO Airport – The 4-letter ICAO airport identifier can be used as a waypoint.
Examples include: KJFK, KLGA, KEWR, CYVR.
Along Track – A waypoint can be placed on the current FMC route that is defined as a
distance from an on-route waypoint. Consider a route with waypoints called NEION,
HOPCE, CORDS, DARBO. To place a waypoint along the route that is 5 miles prior to
HOPCE, enter HOPCE/-5 and select the LSK abeam the HOPCE waypoint. This creates a
waypoint called HOPxx (xx is FMC assigned) that is 5 miles prior to HOPCE on the same
route track. To add a point that is 5 miles beyond HOPCE, enter HOPCE/5 and select the
LSK abeam the HOPCE waypoint. This creates a waypoint called HOPxx that is 5 miles
beyond HOPCE on the same route track.
Latitude/Longitude – Entry follows the same conventions described for IRS initialization
(in the POS INIT section). The coordinates are formatted as X----.-X-----.- where
X is N/S/E/W. For example, N4700.0W04000.0 is a valid entry. The leading zero’s are
required for lat/long entries. The trailing zero’s are optional when the lat/long are whole
degrees. The previous example can be entered as N47W040. When entered, the FMC
displays the waypoint as WPTxx, where xx is an FMC assigned number.
Conditional Waypoint – These types are entered by selection of a DEP, ARR, or approach
procedure from the FMC database. Examples include: (1500), (INTC). These types of
waypoints are not definitively defined and are conditional on aircraft performance or
position. A unique feature of this FMC is that these waypoints may be custom
programmed. This procedure is described at the end of the FMC section.
If a waypoint has more than one definition in the FMC database, a waypoint selection screen
titled SELECT DESIRED WPT is presented. The choices are listed in distance order from the
route or aircraft, with the closest waypoints listed first. Press the LSK abeam the desired
waypoint to select it into the route. In most cases, the selection abeam the 1L LSK will be the
desired waypoint.
Pressing the DEP ARR function key displays the DEP/ARR INDEX page when there is no active
route. The index page is used to select a departure or arrival page for the origin and
destination airports programmed into RTE 1 and RTE 2. If the DEP ARR key is pressed when a
route is active, the departure or arrival procedure page for the origin or destination airport in
the active route is displayed automatically depending on phase of flight. If a different DEP ARR
page is required, the “<INDEX” prompt at the 6L LSK found on all DEP ARR pages can be used to
return to the DEP ARR index page.

DEP/ARR INDEX. Type the ICAO airport code into the scratchpad and press the 6R LSK to
display the ARR Page for that airport. The display is for reference only and cannot be selected.
The departure page is used to select the departure runway and SID (if available) for the ORIGIN
airport of the selected route. The title banner across the top of the screen indicates the
airport and route for which the procedures apply. When a selection is made on this page, all
waypoints for the selected procedure are added to the route. When working with an active
route, the EXEC key must be pressed to activate the changes.
Available SIDs are listed in the left column of the screen and available runways are listed in the
right column of the screen. Selections are made by pressing the LSK next to the procedure or
runway name. When a selection is made, <SEL> is displayed abeam the selection name and all
other selections in that column are cleared from the screen. If a selection was made in error
while working with an inactive route, return to the DEP/ARR INDEX page and reselect the DEP
screen to restore the display of all procedures. If working with an active route, simply press
the “<ERASE” prompt that appears at the 6L LSK to cancel the selections made. When a
selection is activated using the EXEC function key, <ACT> is displayed abeam the selection.
When a SID is selected, only those runways appropriate for the selected SID are displayed. If
the SID is not runway specific, all runways remain displayed. Available SID transitions are
displayed automatically upon SID selection. To select a SID transition, press the LSK abeam the
transition name.
1- SID Name: Press the LSK abeam the SID name to add the SID to the route. The <SEL> prompt
indicates a selected SID that has not been activated. <ACT> is displayed for an activated SID.

ARRIVALS Page
The arrivals page is used to select the landing runway, STAR, and APPROACH for the destination
airport of the selected route. The title banner across the top of the screen indicates the
airport and route for which the procedures apply. When a selection is made on this page, all
waypoints for the selected procedure are added to the route. If an approach procedure is
selected, the landing runway is automatically added to the route. When working with an active
route, the EXEC key must be pressed to activate the changes.
Available STARs are listed in the left column of the screen. Available approaches and runways
are listed in the right column of the screen. Selections are made by pressing the LSK next to
the procedure or runway name. When a selection is made, <SEL> is displayed abeam the
selection name and all other selections in that column are cleared from the screen.
If a selection was made in error while working with an inactive route, return to the DEP/ARR
INDEX page and reselect the ARR screen to restore the display of all procedures. If working
with an active route, simply press the “<ERASE” prompt that appears at the 6L LSK to cancel
the selections made. When a selection is activated using the EXEC function key, <ACT> is
displayed abeam the selection.
When a STAR is selected, only those approaches and runways that apply to the selected star
are displayed. If the STAR is not runway specific, all approaches and runways remain
displayed. Available STAR transition procedures are displayed automatically upon STAR
selection. To select a STAR transition, press the LSK abeam the transition name.
Available RUNWAYS are listed in the right column after the available approaches. Selection of
a runway is not required when selecting an approach procedure since the runway selection is
automatic. Selection of a runway without an approach procedure is done by pressing the LSK
abeam the runway name. When a runway selection is made, a RWY EXT prompt displays at the
3R LSK. When a value is placed in the displayed data box, a waypoint is automatically created
on the runway inbound course at the distance specified. Valid distance entries are from 1.0 to
25.0. The FMC adds a waypoint called RXxxx, where xxx is the runway name.
1- STAR Name: Press the LSK abeam the STAR name to add the STAR to the route. The <SEL>
prompt indicates a selected STAR that has not been activated. <ACT> is displayed for an
activated STAR.
2- STAR Transitions: STAR transition procedures (if available) are displayed when a STAR is
selected. Press the LSK abeam the TRANS name to add the STAR transition to the route.
3- Approaches/Runways: Available approaches and runways are listed in this column. Press
the LSK abeam the approach or runway name to add it to the route. If an approach is selected,
the runway is automatically selected. The <SEL> prompt indicates a selected approach or
runway that has not been activated. <ACT> is displayed for a currently active approach and/or
runway.
4- Approach Transitions: Approach transition procedures (if available) are displayed when an
approach is selected. Press the LSK abeam the TRANS name to add it to the route.
5- INDEX Prompt: Press the 6L LSK to display the DEP/ARR INDEX page. When working with an
active route, an “<ERASE” prompt is displayed any time a selection is made.
6- ROUTE Prompt: Press the 6R LSK to display the route page being programmed.
Route Discontinuity
A route discontinuity exists when two waypoints are not connected by an airway or direct entry
in the VIA column on the RTE page. Multiple discontinuities are possible within the route. To
close a route discontinuity, line select a waypoint below the discontinuity and place it in the
discontinuity boxes in the TO column. If working with the active route, press the EXEC key to
activate the changes.
A discontinuity most often occurs when a SID, STAR, approach or runway is added to the route.
In the above example, the PELUE2 SID was selected which resulted in a discontinuity between
the last waypoint of the SID and the first route waypoint. The continuity was closed by
pressing the LSK abeam RBV and then pressing the LSK abeam the discontinuity boxes.
Discontinuities are mirrored on the LEGS pages (explained below) and are resolved in the same
fashion.
Pressing the LEGS function key displays page 1 of the active LEGS page. From this page,
waypoints in the route can be managed when navigating via LNAV. Also, waypoint speed and
altitude constraints for VNAV operation are entered from this page.
The waypoint entry concepts explained for the RTE pages are the same for the LEGS page
except that the presentation and handling of waypoints is different. Also, the entry of airways
is not possible on the LEGS page since waypoints are listed individually. Airway entry is only
possible on the RTE page.
1- LEGS Page Title: Indicates the status of the displayed route as follows: (X= 1 or 2)
RTE X LEGS - The route displayed has not been activated. An “ACTIVATE>” prompt is
shown at the 6R LSK. The route is drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
ACT RTE X LEGS - The route displayed is the active route. The route is drawn on the EHSI
with a solid magenta line.
MOD RTE X LEGS - The route displayed is active, but has a modification to it that needs to
be executed before the changes become active. The modified portion of the route is
drawn on the EHSI with a blue dashed line.
2- Leg Heading: Displays the direction to the waypoint as a magnetic course (xxx°), heading
(xxx° HDG), or track (xxx° TRK). All headings between waypoints are calculated great circle
leg headings. Special procedures are displayed here as well (ex. HOLD AT).
3- Waypoint Name: The waypoint name is displayed abeam each LSK starting at the 1L
position. The waypoint information displayed at the 1L LSK on the first page represents the
active leg. Waypoints can be added, deleted, and re-sequenced using the LSKs abeam each
waypoint. Route discontinuities are displayed as boxes in the waypoint name space.
Waypoints with brackets are conditional waypoints. The condition is contained in the bracket
and the lateral command contained in the Leg Heading display. The above example shows a
conditional waypoint that results in an LNAV heading of 315° until reaching 500 feet before
proceeding direct to PELUE waypoint.
4- Waypoint Distance: The distance between each waypoint is displayed here. For the active
waypoint, the distance displayed is from the aircrafts current position to the active waypoint.
The FMC uses these constraints to calculated the VNAV climb and descent profiles. The
constraints entered are handled as climb or descent constraints depending on phase of flight.
All constraints entered for waypoints that occur prior to the aircraft reaching the programmed
CRZ ALT (on the PERF INIT page) are treated as climb constraints. Any constraints entered after
the CRZ ALT has been reached are considered descent constraints.
Individual data entries into the right side LSKs that are not separated by a “/” are assumed to
be altitude constraints. Data entries separated by a “/” are assumed to be a combination
airspeed/altitude entry. The format is “xxx/XXXXX”, where xxx is airspeed and XXXXX is
altitude. The format to enter an airspeed constraint only is “xxx/”.
Cruise speed and altitude predictions are shown for all waypoints after the cruise altitude set
in the PERF INIT page has been reached. Cruise altitude predictions are based on performance
calculations resulting from the STEP SIZE entered on the PERF INIT page. When the step size is
set to “0”, the altitude prediction will match the programmed CRZ ALT. When a step size is
specified, the altitude prediction displays the recommended cruise altitude based on
performance data and step size. The altitude prediction displayed will not match the CRZ ALT
when a step climb is recommended.
Cruise speed and altitude changes are not made through LEGS page entries. This is discussed in
the VNAV section of this manual.
6- Route X Legs Prompt: (X=1 or 2) Press the 6L LSK to switch between the display of RTE 1
LEGS and RTE 2 LEGS. Switching between legs pages has no affect on the active route.
Modifications made on the inactive LEGS page have no affect on the active route. To activate
the inactive route from the LEGS page, press the “ACTIVATE>” prompt at the 6R LSK followed
by the EXEC key. The previously active route remains in memory as the inactive route.
If the aircraft is within 2.5 miles of the active route, LNAV mode will engage and track the
route when selected on the MCP. If the aircraft is not in a position to join the active route, the
active waypoint must be modified on the LEGS page for LNAV to navigate toward it. This is
done one of two ways: Direct to a waypoint, or HDG SEL to intercept a course toward a
waypoint.
The following examples discuss the methods used to make LEGS page modifications. The
methods used to engage LNAV to follow a route are also discussed and demonstrated. The term
“line select” in these explanations refers to pressing the LSK abeam a waypoint.
Direct to Waypoint
The easiest way for LNAV to join a route is to fly directly to a waypoint in the LEGS page. This
is done by line selecting a waypoint into the active waypoint position (1L LSK of LEGS page 1).
The FMC calculates a direct course to the waypoint and displays the modification on the EHSI
with blue dashes. Pressing the EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP causes the
AFDS to fly directly to the waypoint.
If the active waypoint is the desired Direct To Waypoint, press the 1L LSK one time to place the
waypoint name in the scratchpad. Then press the 1L LSK a second time to have the FMC draw
the new course line direct to the waypoint.
Consider the following example: RBV is the active waypoint and has been line selected twice
to redraw a direct course line.
Notice that the RBV waypoint is both the active waypoint and the modified waypoint with a
new course line drawn direct. . To complete the change and navigate direct to RBV, press the
EXEC function key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
If the Direct To waypoint is further down in the LEGS listing, press the LSK next to the desired
waypoint to transfer it to the scratchpad. Then press the 1L LSK of page 1 to make the
modification. It is important to use page 1 of the LEGS page because the active waypoint
position is the 1L LSK on that page. All waypoints between the currently active waypoint and
the newly selected down track waypoint are removed upon execution.
Notice that both SUZIE and RBV waypoints have been removed and a new course line has been
drawn direct to RAV. To complete the change and navigate direct to RAV, press the EXEC
function key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
A new waypoint can be designated as the Direct To waypoint. Type the name of the waypoint
into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK on LEGS page 1. The FMC draws a course line direct
to the newly entered waypoint. A route discontinuity is placed between the previously active
waypoint and the new waypoint since the FMC makes no assumptions on where to go after
reaching a waypoint that was not on the original route.
Consider the following example: The LEGS page from the previous example is still in use and
our clearance is now to fly direct to ETX..RAV. Type ETX into the scratchpad and press the 1L
LSK on LEGS page 1. The result is shown below:
Notice that a route discontinuity is placed between the new waypoint and the existing route.
How to close the discontinuity is discussed below. Also, a course line direct to ETX has been
drawn. To complete this part of the clearance and navigate direct to ETX, press the EXEC
function key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
To clear a route discontinuity, line select a waypoint from below the discontinuity and line
select it to the discontinuity boxes.
Notice that ETX is now connected to RAV on the EHSI. Also, the RBV and SUZIE waypoints have
been removed. To complete the change and remove the discontinuity, press the EXEC function
key and the LNAV button on the MCP.
Many clearances result in the elimination of waypoints from the LEGS page. It is beneficial for
situational awareness to know when the aircraft is abeam these eliminated waypoints when
navigating on long direct route clearances. Anytime a route modification is made, an “ABEAM
PTS>” prompt is presented at the 4R LSK. Pressing the 4R LSK arms the abeam points feature.
When the route modifications are executed, the FMC creates abeam points on the new route to
indicate where the bypassed waypoints would have been. The abeam points created are
perpendicular to the bypassed waypoints.
Consider the following example: The LEGS page from the previous example is still in use. The
new clearance is to fly direct to the EWC waypoint. Press the 5L LSK to put EWC in the
scratchpad. Pressing the 1L LSK to go direct to EWC causes the “ABEAM PTS>” prompt to
display at the 4R LSK. Press the 4R LSK to select the abeam points feature. Press EXEC to
make the modifications active. The results are shown below:
Notice that when the ABEAM PTS> prompt is pressed, the word SELECTED appears. This
indicates that abeam points will be created upon executing the modifications. Also notice that
the FMC has created custom named waypoints for each waypoint bypassed by the direct to EWC
modification.
Anytime a modification is made on the legs page, the “RTE COPY>” prompt is presented at the
5R LSK. Pressing the 5R LSK prior to executing the modification places a copy of the currently
active route into the inactive route page. The contents of the inactive route page are
automatically updated with the current route waypoints.
The use of the Route Copy feature is helpful when making major changes to the currently
active route. If the previous route needs to be restored after executing the route
modifications, switch to the inactive route page and re-activate the previous route.
Consider the following example: The LEGS page from the previous example is still in use. The
EWC waypoint has been line selected to the 1L position. Press the 5R LSK to place a copy of
the currently active route into the RTE 2 pages. Press EXEC to make the changes and then
press the 6L LSK to switch to the RTE 2 LEGS display. The results are shown below:
Notice how the “RTE COPY>” prompt changes to “COMPLETE” when the 5R LSK is pressed. This
indicates that the route copy has been successful. Switching to the RTE 2 LEGS page after
executing the changes reveals that the previously active route is now stored in RTE 2.
This feature is used to create a specific inbound course to a waypoint for LNAV to follow. The
steps for waypoint selection are the same as those for creating a Direct To waypoint. The
specific intercept course is entered at the 6R LSK INTC CRS prompt. Pressing the EXEC key
creates the specific inbound radial on the EHSI and HDG SEL is used to fly toward the inbound
course. When the LNAV button is pressed, LNAV is armed for course interception upon reaching
the specified inbound course line.
Consider the following example: Using the LEGS page from a previous example, the clearance
is to fly a 270° heading to intercept the RAV 110° radial (290° inbound course) and track it
inbound. The first step is to put the AFDS in HDG SEL mode on a 270° heading. Then line
select RAV to the 1L position to make it the active waypoint. Then, type 290 into the
scratchpad and press the 6R LSK to specify the INTC CRS. Press EXEC to make the modification
active and PRESS LNAV on the MCP to arm it for course capture.
Notice that when the RAV waypoint is line selected to the 1L LSK that the INTC CRS prompt
displays 282 in small type. This is the FMC calculated direct course to RAV. When 290 is
entered, it appears in large type since it is a manually entered intercept course. When the
modifications are executed, the course listed for RAV shows as 290° and the course line is
drawn on the EHSI.
An intercept course may also be specified for a waypoint that is not on the active route. When
the new waypoint is line selected to 1L, the INTC CRS prompt displays with boxes for the entry
of a specific inbound course. If no course entry is made, the FMC assumes a direct course as
was demonstrated in a previous example using the ETX waypoint.
There are two methods to delete waypoints from the route. The first involves the use of the
DEL key to delete individual waypoints from the route. When this method is used, a route
discontinuity is presented in place of the deleted waypoint. The second involves changing the
waypoint sequence within the LEGS pages. All bypassed waypoints from the re-sequencing are
deleted upon execution without causing a route discontinuity. The only waypoint on the LEGS
page that cannot be deleted is the active waypoint.
Consider the following example using the DEL key: Delete the RBV waypoint. Start by pressing
the DEL data entry key. This places the word DELETE in the scratchpad. Now press the 2L LSK
abeam the RBV waypoint to delete it.
Notice that a route discontinuity has taken the place of the RBV waypoint. The discontinuity
can be closed by line selecting a waypoint from below the discontinuity line into the
discontinuity boxes.
Consider the following example of re-sequencing waypoints: After SUZIE fly direct to ESL. This
problem involves the deletion of three waypoints between SUZIE and ESL. The easiest way to
accomplish this is to line select ESL and place it below SUZIE. To do this, press the 5L LSK to
place ESL in the scratchpad. Press the 2L LSK to place ESL below SUZIE in the route. Now
press EXEC to make the modification active.
Notice that three waypoints were deleted with one action. Also, the modifications executed
had no affect on the active waypoint. This example could have been done using the DEL key
method, but that would require three separate deletions and a closing of the resulting
discontinuity.
Moving waypoints within a route is not limited to only those found on LEGS page 1. A Waypoint
may be line selected from any LEGS page and then line selected onto a different LEGS page.
Waypoint Addition
Adding waypoints is accomplished by typing the name of the waypoint into the scratchpad and
then line selecting it into the desired position on the LEGS page. A route discontinuity is
placed after the added waypoint since the FMC does not make course assumptions after the
addition of a new waypoint.
Consider the following example: Add the waypoint BURNI into the route after RAV. Type
BURNI into the scratchpad followed by the 3L LSK to place it into the LEGS page below RAV.
Then line select EWC to the 4L position to close the resulting route discontinuity. Press EXEC
to make the modifications active.
The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and estimated fuel for each fix is displayed. In the WIND
column, a “W” indicates waypoint wind data has been entered for the respective waypoint.
The absence of a “W” indicates that no wind data has been entered for the respective
waypoint. Wind page data helps enhance the performance of VNAV.
Pressing the right side LSK of any waypoint calls up the waypoint wind data page. Wind data
can be entered for up to three altitudes. To enter wind data on the page, type an altitude
into the scratchpad and line select it to the 1L LSK. This drops the altitude into a list on the
left side of the page along with a DIR/SPD dashed prompt along the right side. Enter the wind
The dashed prompts at the 5R LSK of the wind page are for altitude/temperature information.
The known OAT for any altitude may be entered on this line. The FMC calculates the
temperature for the remaining altitudes based on a standard lapse rate.

Pressing the FIX function key displays the FIX page. There are two fix pages available for the
entry of two different fixes for display. If no fix is entered into the page, the 1L position
displays box prompts for the entry of data. Enter the fix name into the scratchpad and press
the 1L LSK to enter it into the fix page. The following example shows the FJC navaid entered
into the FIX page.

point coordinates into the scratchpad. These coordinates can be added to the route as an
abeam point reminder.
The 5L data line displays the abeam point predictions. 206/21 is the radial and DME from the
fix that intersects with the current route. 1908Z is the predicted abeam point crossing time.
71 is the distance to the abeam point from the aircrafts present position. 10000 is the
predicted crossing altitude. Pressing the 5L LSK a second time transfers the coordinates for the
abeam point into the scratchpad. The example above shows how these coordinates have been
inserted into the route after the RBV waypoint.
When the HOLD key is pressed and no holding pattern exists, the following is displayed:
1- HOLD AT data box: The name of the holding fix gets entered into these boxes. A waypoint
from the active route or a new waypoint may be entered into the data boxes. Line selecting a
waypoint in the active route and pressing the 6L LSK creates a holding pattern at the waypoint
and displays the holding page. The holding pattern is placed into the active route in sequence
with no route discontinuity.
If a new waypoint is entered into the HOLD AT data boxes, a scratchpad message “HOLD AT
XXXXX” is displayed (where XXXXX is waypoint). To place the holding pattern into the route,
press an LSK on the LEGS page abeam where the holding pattern should be placed. This action
displays the holding page for the waypoint and places the new waypoint into the route along
with a route discontinuity.
2- Present Position Prompt: Pressing the 6R LSK defines a hold at the aircrafts present
position and inserts it into the active route with a route discontinuity.
The HOLD page is where the holding pattern is described and modified. The holding pattern is
drawn on the EHSI and is followed by LNAV based on entries in this page. The HOLD page is
displayed when a holding waypoint is initially defined, or when the HOLD key is pressed with a
holding waypoint already defined. Since modifications to the HOLD page can affect the
aircrafts flight path, all modifications made must be executed by pressing the EXEC function
key. The following is a description of the holding page:
2- Quadrant/Radial: Used as an alternate method to describe the holding radial on which the
holding pattern is based. Enter the desired holding radial into the scratchpad and press the 2L
LSK to re-define the holding pattern based on the entered radial. The quadrant, expressed as a
reference to a compass point, is automatically filled in with the entry of a radial. For
example, entering 160 into the scratchpad and pressing the 2L LSK displays “SE/160” in the
data line.
Note: The INBD CRS field automatically updates when an entry is made on this data line.
3- Inbound Course/Direction: This field automatically fills in with a direct entry holding course
and right hand turns when a holding waypoint is defined. If the waypoint is on the current
route, the inbound holding course is the inbound course to the waypoint along the route. To
change the inbound course, enter the new course into the scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. To
change the holding pattern direction, type “L” or “R” into the scratchpad and press the 3L LSK.
Note: Any data in the QUAD/RADIAL data field automatically updates when changes are
made to this data field.
4- Leg Time: Displays the length in minutes of the holding patterns inbound leg. The default
value is 1.0 at or below 14,000 and 1.5 above 14,000 when the holding fix is initially defined.
To redefine the leg time, type the desired time into the scratchpad and press the 4L LSK.
Note: If an entry is made in the LEG DIST field, this field is automatically cleared.
5- Leg Distance: Used as an alternate method to describe the size of the holding patterns
inbound leg. To redefine the inbound holding pattern leg using distance, type the desired
length in miles of the inbound holding leg and press the 5L LSK.
Note: The LEG TIME field is automatically cleared when a LEG DIST is defined.
6- NEXT HOLD Prompt: Permits for the definition of a holding pattern at another holding
waypoint. The HOLD AT data box is displayed at the 6L LSK when pressed. A new HOLD page is
created when additional holding waypoints are defined.
7- Speed/Target Altitude: Defines the speed and altitude for the holding pattern. This data is
used by the FMC to update performance data and to redraw the holding pattern accurately on
the EHSI. When the hold is initially defined, this field automatically fills with either prediction
data (small type) or waypoint speed and altitude constraints from the LEGS page (large type).
Manually entered data redefines the holding pattern and is displayed in large type. A valid
entry is XXX/xxxxx, where XXX is a speed and xxxxx is an altitude.
8- FIX Estimated Time of Arrival: The estimated time of arrival at the holding fix is displayed.
9- Expect Further Clearance Time: A manually entered time that is used by the FMC for fuel
and time predictions.

10 – Hold Available: Displays the amount of holding time available before the reserve fuel
amount is reached.
11- Best Hold Speed: Displays the recommended best holding speed based on aircraft weight
and altitude.
To delete a holding pattern before reaching it in the route, simply delete the holding pattern
entry from the LEGS page in the same way described for waypoint deletion.
If already in the holding pattern, there are two methods available to exit the hold. Pressing
the EXIT HOLD Prompt at the 6R LSK arms the FMC to exit the hold. The holding pattern
continues normally until the holding waypoint is reached, at which time the hold is deleted and
the active waypoint changes to the next route waypoint. A more direct method to exit the
hold is to go direct to another waypoint. Line selecting a down track waypoint from the
current route into the 1L LSK redirects LNAV to navigate to that waypoint and deletes the
holding pattern.
1- VOR Tuning: The tuned frequency and status of the left and right VOR receivers is shown at
the 1L and 1R positions. Displayed for each radio are the frequency, tuning status, and navaid
identification. The tuning status indicates the following:
A – The radio is set to AUTO. The FMC automatically tunes the VOR.
R – The radio has been remotely tuned in the FMC.
M – The radio is set to MAN. Automatic and remote tuning are not available.
To remotely tune the VOR, type the frequency or identifier for a navaid into the scratchpad
and press the 1L or 1R LSK to tune it. To cancel a remotely tuned selection, press DELETE
followed by the respective LSK. Alternatively, type A into the scratchpad and press the
respective LSK.
In the example above, VOR L is tuned to 108.8, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identifier
is BDR. VOR R is tuned to 117.7, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identifier is CRI.
2 – Radial: Displays the current radial to the aircraft from the respective VOR station.
3- ADF Tuning: Displays the currently tuned ADF frequency. This frequency can be tuned
remotely by typing the frequency into the scratchpad followed by the 3L or 3R LSK.
4- ILS Tuning: Displays the currently tuned ILS frequency and course. PARK indicates that the
ILS tuner has no frequency tuned (displays ------ in the window). The frequency and course can
be tuned remotely by typing the frequency/course into the scratchpad followed by the 4L LSK.
The format is XXX.XX/xxx where XXX.XX is the frequency and xxx is the course.
Pressing the VNAV function key on the CDU calls up the active VNAV page. Three VNAV pages
are available for the climb, cruise and descent segments. The active page is determined by the
phase of flight. Prior to the top-of-climb (T/C), pressing the VNAV key displays the VNAV CLB
page. Between the T/C and the top-of-descent (T/D), pressing the VNAV key displays the VNAV
CRZ page. And after the T/D is reached, pressing the VNAV key displays the VNAV DES page.
All pages are available for viewing at any time by using the NEXT and PREV PAGE function keys.
When VNAV is the active AFDS mode, the EADI annunciates either VNAV SPD or VNAV PTH. The
VNAV SPD mode indicates that aircraft airspeed is being maintained through aircraft pitch.
This mode is engaged in a VNAV climb or a VNAV descent (in speed intervention mode). The
VNAV PTH mode indicates that the aircraft airspeed is being maintained using thrust. This
mode is engaged during all VNAV level offs and during a VNAV path descent.
VNAV Climb
The FMC builds a VNAV climb profile based on data entered into the VNAV CLB page and the
LEGS pages. VNAV is engaged after takeoff by depressing the VNAV MCP button. When VNAV is
engaged, the FMC commands for an acceleration to the limiting airspeed set in the FMC. The
FMC maintains the takeoff speed until reaching the acceleration height programmed in the
TAKEOFF REF page (1000 feet default). The FMC then commands for an airspeed acceleration
that is initially limited by flap retraction speed limits. When the flaps are up, the default
target airspeed becomes 250 knots or lower if restricted by a SID waypoint constriction on the
LEGS page. Passing 10,000 feet (default value), the target airspeed becomes either the
economy climb speed set by the FMC or a manually selected climb speed. The economy climb
airspeed is based on the cost index entered on the PERF INIT page.
All VNAV climbs are performed in VNAV SPD mode at the FMC commanded airspeed using
maximum available power as determined by the TRP. The TRP automatically enters a CLB
mode after takeoff when VNAV is engaged. The climb segment lasts until reaching the FMC
programmed cruise altitude.
Intermediate level offs during climb can occur in two ways: reaching a LEGS page altitude
constraint that is part of a SID, or encountering an AFDS MCP ALT set lower than the FMC cruise
altitude. When a LEGS page altitude constraint is encountered, the VNAV PTH mode is engaged
for the level off. The aircraft remains level until the constraint is cancelled upon passing the
constrained waypoint. The climb then continues in the VNAV SPD mode toward the FMC cruise
altitude. When encountering an MCP ALT set lower than the FMC cruise altitude, the AFDS ALT
HOLD mode is engaged and speed control is transferred back to the MCP. To continue the
climb in VNAV, the MCP ALT must be reset to a higher altitude and VNAV must be re-engaged
by pressing the VNAV MCP button.
Temporary airspeed changes needed during the climb can be handled using the “speed
intervention” mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed
window on the MCP. The VNAV climb airspeed is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the
airspeed select knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and transfers speed
control back to the FMC.
The top-of-climb (T/C) occurs when the FMC Cruise altitude is reached. A “T/C” symbol is
shown along the active route to denote the predicted top-of-climb point. When the T/C is
VNAV Cruise
When the aircraft levels off at the FMC programmed cruise altitude, the VNAV PTH mode is
engaged and control over VNAV operation automatically switches to the Cruise page. When the
FMC cruise altitude matches the AFDS MCP ALT, VNAV PTH mode takes priority. This is the
reason that ALT HOLD mode does not engage in this situation.
The default cruise airspeed set by the FMC is the economy airspeed based on the cost index
entered on the PERF INIT page. The cruise speed can be changed by manually entering a new
airspeed in the cruise page, or by selecting long range cruise via the “LRP>” prompt on the
cruise page. Temporary airspeed changes can be handled using speed intervention mode as
described previously
Once the VNAV cruise altitude is reached, altitude changes during the cruise segment of the
flight are handled in cruise climb or descent mode. This mode is entered when a new cruise
altitude is entered in the FMC and the AFDS MCP ALT is set to match. The aircraft climbs or
descends to the newly selected altitude using VNAV SPD mode. When the MCP ALT is initially
set to a different altitude, the AFDS remains in the VNAV PTH mode until the FMC cruise
altitude is set to match. Also, if the FMC cruise altitude is set to a different value and the MCP
ALT remains the same, the aircraft remains level in VNAV PTH until the MCP ALT is set to
match.
Temporary airspeed changes needed during the cruise can be handled using the “speed
intervention” mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed
window on the MCP. The VNAV cruise airspeed is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the
airspeed select knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and transfers speed
control back to the FMC.
The cruise phase continues until reaching the top-of-descent (T/D) point. This point denotes
when a descent for approach and landing begins. The T/D is calculated by the FMC based on
arrival waypoint altitude constraints set on the LEGS page. A “T/D” symbol is shown along the
active route to denote the predicted top-of-descent point. When the T/D is reached, the VNAV
DES page becomes the active VNAV page.
VNAV DESCENT
The initial VNAV descent path is calculated from the T/D to the first waypoint altitude
constraint on the LEGS page. The initial path is calculated for IDLE thrust using the airspeed
set in the VNAV DES page. All subsequent descents are calculated as straight line descents
between LEGS page altitude constraints at the selected speed and required thrust. The
descent is accomplished in VNAV PTH mode.
In order for the aircraft to begin an automatic descent upon reaching the T/D, the MCP ALT
must be set to a lower altitude. If the aircraft reaches the T/D and the altitude has not been
reset, the AFDS enters ALT HOLD mode. To restore VNAV control over the descent, a lower
altitude must be selected on the MCP and the AFDS VNAV button must be pressed.
The default descent airspeed set by the FMC is the economy airspeed based on the cost index
entered on the PERF INIT page. The descent airspeed can be changed by manually entering a
new airspeed on the descent page. The descent speed is also changed by setting waypoint
airspeed constraints on the LEGS page. When a waypoint is encountered that has an airspeed
constraint, the DES page airspeed is changed to this new value. Temporary airspeed changes
can be handled using speed intervention mode as described previously. A descent in speed
intervention mode changes the active VNAV mode from VNAV PTH to VNAV SPD.
Intermediate level offs during descent can occur in two ways: reaching a LEGS page altitude
constraint on a STAR/Approach, or encountering an AFDS MCP ALT set higher than the FMC
altitude constraints. When a LEGS page altitude constraint is encountered that requires a level
off, the VNAV PTH mode remains engaged for the level off. The aircraft remains level until
reaching the last waypoint having the same altitude restriction, at which point the VNAV PTH
descent continues to the next altitude constraint. If the MCP ALT is set higher than the
altitude constraints in the LEGS page, the AFDS enters ALT HOLD mode when the MCP altitude
is reached. To continue a VNAV descent, the MCP ALT must be reset to a lower value and the
AFDS VNAV button must be pressed.
After the T/D is reached, the EHSI displays a Vertical Track Indicator (VTI) on the right side of
the display. The VTI pointer indicates if the aircraft is high or low on the VNAV descent path.
The pointers range is +/- 400 feet. Progress page 2 also has a VTK ERROR line that displays the
exact vertical track error in feet.
Temporary airspeed changes needed during the descent can be handled using the “speed
intervention” mode on the AFDS MCP. Pressing the airspeed select knob opens up the airspeed
window on the MCP. The VNAV descent airspeed is now set by the MCP value. Pressing the
airspeed select knob a second time cancels speed intervention mode and transfers speed
control back to the FMC.
The descent phase continues until reaching the end of descent at the destination airport. The
end of descent is normally the runway selected for approach. If a runway is not selected, the
E/D is the last waypoint on the LEGS page that has an altitude constraint.
The VNAV CLB page is primarily used during the climb segment to control airspeed when VNAV
is in use. The title of the VNAV CLB page indicates if the data displayed is active (ACT) or
modified (MOD). Additionally, if the AFDS is in speed intervention mode, the title changes to
“MCP SPD CLB” to indicate that speed is controlled via the MCP.
All modifications to CLB page data require execution with the EXEC function key prior to
becoming active. When modifications are made, an “<ERASE” prompt appears at the 6L LSK.
Pressing the 6L LSK prior to executing the changes erases all changed data and restores the
display of active data.
For VNAV to function, a CRZ ALT is required. All other data boxes are either optional or display
default FMC data.
1- Cruise Altitude: The cruise altitude entered on the PERF INIT page is displayed here. To
change the target cruise altitude, enter an altitude into the scratchpad followed by pressing
the 1L LSK. Valid entries for altitude are XXX, XXXX, XXXXX, and FLXXX. The altitude is
displayed in feet when below the TRANS ALT and as flight levels when above. Changes to the
cruise altitude on this page are carried over to all other pages that display CRZ ALT.
2- Speed Display: Displays the current target climb airspeed/Mach. ECON SPD is displayed
when economy speed is in use. SEL SPD is dispayed when a speed is manually entered. To
change the current climb speed, type an IAS or MACH speed into the scratchpad and press the
2L LSK. If the entry of both speeds is desired, the format is xxx/.XXX, where xxx is IAS and
.XXX is MACH. The FMC commanded airspeed is IAS until the MACH value is reached. To
restore ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 2L
LSK.
If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to “MCP SPD CLB”. In this mode,
airspeed is controlled via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV CLB page.
3- Speed Transition: Displays the FMC transition airspeed and altitude. The FMC target climb
airspeed is limited to the value displayed until reaching the altitude displayed. The airspeed
limit is removed as the aircraft climbs through the altitude displayed. The default value is 250
knots until reaching 10,000 feet. This entry may be changed or deleted manually. To change
the entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) into the scratchpad and press the 3L
LSK. To delete the entry, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 3L LSK.
4- Speed Restriction: This is an optional field for the entry of an additional FMC climb speed
restriction to altitude. To make an entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) and
press the 4L LSK. When an entry is made, the FMC target airspeed is limited to the value
displayed until reaching the altitude displayed. To delete the speed restriction, press the DEL
data entry key followed by the 3L LSK.
5- Waypoint Altitude Constraint: Displays the next waypoint altitude constraint entered into
the LEGS page. If no altitude constraints are entered into the LEGS page, this field is blank.
When VNAV is engaged, the FMC commanded airspeed and altitude are constrained to the
values entered on the LEGS page until reaching the displayed waypoint (AT XXXXX).
After passing BAKRR, the VNAV CLB page changes to “AT MINEY” and “8000” since the MINEY
waypoint has an altitude constraint of 8000 feet. The MINEY waypoint is not speed restricted
since the airspeed is displayed as 250 in small type. Therefore, after passing the BAKRR
waypoint, VNAV continues a climb to 8000 feet at 250 knots.
After passing MINEY, The VNAV CLB page changes to “AT BOACH” and “13000” since the BOACH
waypoint has an altitude constraint of 13000 feet or above. The BOACH waypoint is not speed
restricted since the speed is displayed in small type. Notice that the speed prediction is now
326 since the FMC airspeed in this example is no longer restricted to 250/10000 (the entry in
the SPD TRANS data line on the VNAV CLB page).
Keep in mind that for a VNAV climb to continue at each waypoint, the MCP ALT must be set to
a higher altitude than that listed for a LEGS page constraint. If the MCP ALT is reached prior to
a LEGS page constraint, the AFDS levels off in ALT HOLD mode. In this case, the MCP must be
reset to a higher altitude and VNAV reselected on the MCP for a VNAV climb to continue.
6- Transition Altitude: Displays the altitude above which the FMC begins to list altitudes as
flight levels. This value may be manually changed by typing an altitude into the scratchpad
followed by pressing the 3R LSK.
7- Maximum Angle Speed: Displays the maximum angle of climb speed based on performance
calculations. This speed is for reference only and cannot be changed.
8- Engine Out Speed Prompt: When pressed, changes the page to display engine out data.
9- Climb Direct Prompt: When pressed, removes all speed and altitude climb constraints
entered into the LEGS page. If VNAV is in use, the FMC continues to climb until reaching the
CRZ ALT or the MCP ALT, whichever is lower.
The VNAV CRZ page is used to control airspeed and altitude while in the cruise phase with
VNAV engaged. All airspeed and altitude changes are made from this page only. Cruise speed
and altitude changes are never made via the LEGS pages.
The title of the VNAV CRZ page indicates if the data displayed is active (ACT) or modified
(MOD). The title page changes to indicate the cruise speed selected as follows:
All modifications to CRZ page data require execution with the EXEC function key prior to
becoming active. When modifications are made, an “<ERASE” prompt appears at the 6L LSK.
Pressing the 6L LSK prior to executing the changes erases all changed data and restores the
display of active data.
1- Cruise Altitude: The cruise altitude entered on the PERF INIT page is displayed here. To
change the cruise altitude, enter an altitude into the scratchpad followed by pressing the 1L
LSK. Valid entries for altitude are XXX, XXXX, XXXXX, and FLXXX. The altitude is displayed in
feet when below the TRANS ALT and as flight levels when above. Changes to the cruise
altitude on this page are carried over to all other pages that display CRZ ALT.
After reaching the cruise altitude in VNAV, all enroute changes in altitude prior to the T/D are
initiated by changing the cruise altitude on the CRZ page. Type the new cruise altitude into
the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK to change the CRZ ALT. Then, select the new target
altitude on the AFDS MCP. This initiates a VNAV cruise climb or descent to the new altitude. If
both altitudes (FMC and MCP) are not changed, VNAV continues in cruise at the previously
programmed altitude.
2- Speed Display: Displays the current target cruise speed. ECON SPD is displayed when
economy speed is in use. SEL SPD is displayed when a speed is manually entered. LRC SPD is
displayed when long range cruise is selected. E/O SPD is displayed when the engine out speed
is selected. To change the current cruise speed, type an IAS or MACH speed into the
scratchpad and press the 2L LSK. The format is XXX for IAS and .XXX for MACH. To restore
ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the “<ECON” prompt at the 5L LSK.
If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to “MCP SPD CRZ”. In this mode,
airspeed is controlled via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV CRZ page.
3- Optimum and Maximum Altitudes: Displays the optimum and maximum cruise altitudes for
the aircrafts current gross weight based on FMC performance data.
4- Step Size: Displays the step climb value used for VNAV STEP TO performance calculations.
ICAO is the standard value and indicates a step climb size of 2000 feet below FL290 and 4000
feet above FL290. Valid entries range from 0 to 9000 in 1000 foot increments. When “0” is
entered, all VNAV predictions are based on a constant cruise altitude.
5- ECON Prompt: Press the 5L LSK to change the speed display to economy speed.
6- Step Data: The STEP TO field displays the recommended step climb altitude based on the
step size. The AT field displays the point at which a step climb is recommended. In this
example, a step climb is not recommended until 1397 miles which is predicted to occur at
2154Z time.
7- Engine Out Prompt: Press the 5R LSK to select the engine out speed.
8- Long Range Cruise Prompt: Press the 6R LSK to select the long range cruise speed.
The VNAV DES page is used to make modifications to the descent path. This page is primarily
used to make VNAV descent airspeed modifications. The title of the VNAV DES page indicates if
the data displayed is active (ACT) or modified (MOD). Additionally, if the AFDS is in speed
All modifications to DES page data require execution with the EXEC function key prior to
becoming active. When modifications are made, an “<ERASE” prompt appears at the 6L LSK.
Pressing the 6L LSK prior to executing the changes erases all changed data and restores the
display of active data.
1- End of Descent Waypoint: Displays the name of the waypoint in the LEGS page with the
lowest altitude constraint. This field is blank if no altitude constraints have been entered on
the LEGS page.
2- Speed Display: Displays the current target descent airspeed/Mach. This airspeed is used to
calculate the VNAV descent path. This speed is commanded by the FMC during the descent
until a lower speed is encountered as part of a LEGS page constraint.
ECON SPD is displayed when economy speed is in use. SEL SPD is displayed when a speed is
manually entered. To change the current descent speed, type an IAS or MACH speed into the
scratchpad and press the 2L LSK. If the entry of both speeds is desired, the format is .XXX/xxx,
where XXX is MACH and xxx is IAS. The FMC commanded descent airspeed is MACH until the IAS
value is reached. To restore ECON speed when SEL SPD is displayed, press the DEL data entry
key followed by the 2L LSK.
If speed intervention mode is in use, the title page changes to “MCP SPD DES”. In this mode,
airspeed is controlled via the MCP and cannot be controlled on the VNAV DES page.
3- Speed Transition: Displays the FMC transition airspeed and altitude. The FMC target
descent airspeed is limited to the value displayed at or below the altitude displayed. The
default value is 240 knots at or below 10,000 feet. This entry may be changed or deleted
manually. To change the entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed, XXXXX=altitude) into the
scratchpad and press the 3L LSK. To delete the entry, press the DEL data entry key followed
by the 3L LSK.
4- Speed Restriction: This is an optional field for the entry of an additional FMC descent speed
restriction below an altitude. To make an entry, type xxx/XXXXX (xxx=airspeed,
XXXXX=altitude) and press the 4L LSK. When an entry is made, the FMC target airspeed is
limited to the value displayed at or below the altitude displayed. To delete the speed
restriction, press the DEL data entry key followed by the 3L LSK.
5- Waypoint Altitude Constraint: Displays the next waypoint altitude constraint entered into
the LEGS page. If no altitude constraints are entered into the LEGS page, this field is blank.
When VNAV is engaged, the FMC commanded airspeed and altitude are constrained to the
values entered on the LEGS page until reaching the displayed waypoint (AT XXXXX).
The example LEGS page shows an altitude constraint of 17000 feet at CIVET. The T/D point
and VNAV idle descent path are calculated based on this first waypoint constraint. Since a
speed has not been specified at CIVET, the FMC target airspeed from the VNAV DES page is
shown as 300 in small type.
After passing CIVET, the VNAV DES page changes to “AT ARNES” and “12000” since ARNES
contains the next descent constraint of 280/12000. A VNAV path is calculated for a straight
descent between CIVET (at 17000 feet) and ARNES (at 12000 feet), such that ARNES is crossed
at 280 knots. Since no constraint has been entered for BREMR, the data displayed is prediction
data based on the calculated VNAV path between CIVET and ARNES.
After passing ARNES, the VNAV DES page changes to “AT SUZZI” and “9000”. A VNAV path is
calculated for a straight descent between ARNES (at 12000) and SUZZI (at 9000). The SPEED
TRANS of 240/10000 comes into play between these two waypoints since the FMC is predicting
an airspeed of 240 at SUZZI.
Keep in mind that for a VNAV DES to continue at each waypoint, the MCP ALT must be set to a
lower altitude than that listed for a LEGS page constraint. If the MCP ALT is reached prior to a
LEGS page constraint, the AFDS levels off in ALT HOLD mode. In this case, the MCP must be
reset to a lower altitude and VNAV reselected on the MCP for a VNAV descent to continue.
6- Descend Direct Prompt: This prompt displays after the T/D is reached. When pressed,
deletes all waypoint altitude constraints on the LEGS page between the current aircraft
altitude and the MCP altitude.
7- Descend Now Prompt: This prompt displays before the T/D is reached. When pressed,
begins a descent of 1250 fpm until reaching the calculated VNAV path. For the descent to
commence, the AFDS MCP altitude must be set to a lower value. The AFDS levels off at the
higher of the MCP altitude or the next FMC waypoint constraint.
Pressing the 5R LSK displays the SAVE ROUTE menu. The SAVE ROUTE menu has two pages that
display choices for classifying how the LEGS page data is to be saved. Use the NEXT and PREV
PAGE function keys to switch between pages. The waypoints found on the active LEGS page
are saved when using the SID, STAR and approach prompts. Waypoints found on the inactive
route page cannot be saved using the SID, STAR and approach prompts.
1- Save Route 1: Press the 1L LSK to save RTE page data and waypoints from RTE1 as a
flightplan. When pressed, a data line is displayed at the 5L LSK for entry of the flight plan
name.
Type the name of the flightplan into the scratchpad and press the 5L LSK. The flightplan name
can be any combination of up to 10 letters and numbers. The entry of more than 10 characters
generates an “INVALID ENTRY” message in the scratchpad. Once entered, press the “<SAVE
TO DISK” prompt at the 6L LSK to save the flightplan.
To recall a saved flightplan, enter the flightplan name into the CO ROUTE data field found on
the RTE page. This action automatically loads all saved route information and waypoints.
Notes:
-- If there are no legs present in RTE1, a “LEGS REQD” message is generated in the
scratchpad when the 1L LSK is pressed.
-- The route does not have to be activated to be saved.
-- When recalling the route using the CO ROUTE data field on the RTE page, do not add
the “.RTE” extension to the name.
3- Save LEGS as SID: Press the 3L LSK to save the waypoints listed in the active LEGS page as a
SID procedure for the departure airport shown on the RTE page. When pressed, a submenu is
presented to select the departure airport runway(s) to which the SID applies.
If the waypoints to be saved are for a SID that applies to all runways, no action is required
since “<ALL>” is the default selection. If the SID waypoints apply to 1 specific runway, press
the left side LSK abeam the desired runway. Type the desired name for the SID into the
scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to enter it. The name can be a combination of up to 10 letters
and numbers. Press the “SAVE TO DISK>” prompt at the 6R LSK to save the SID.
Notes:
-- Do not use this procedure to save multiple runway transitions for a single SID that shares
common waypoints. Doing so results in duplicate SID listings on the DEP page (see #8
for saving runway transition waypoints).
-- Do not save SID transition procedures using this procedure. Saving SID transition
procedures is explained in #5.
-- Only the active route waypoints are saved using this procedure.
-- When saving a SID, only those waypoints that are part of the main SID procedure should

The FMC database procedures are stored in *.xml format. Those familiar with the xml format
can manipulate the data manually by opening this file in WordPad, Notepad, or any suitable
xml editor.
The following example shows how to program a SID. SIDs can be as simple as a single waypoint
with no transitions, or a more comprehensive procedure with multiple transitions. The
example below is a made up procedure called the JEBBB1 departure at KLAS. This is a
comprehensive SID with multiple transition elements.
All SIDs consist of one or more “main” procedure waypoints. In this example, the JEBBB and
ROPPR waypoints are the main procedure since they are common to all transitions. Program
the main part of the SID as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport. Enter KLAS since this procedure is made
up using waypoints in and around that airport. The entry of an arrival airport is optional.
2. On the LEGS page, enter ROPPR and JEBBB in their proper sequence and delete all other
waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the 3L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID.
6. This procedure is used by more than one runway, so <ALL> runway is used. No action is
required since this is the default selection.
7. Type JEBBB1 into the scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to name the SID.
8. Press the 6R LSK to save the SID.
The JEBBB1 SID is now part of the KLAS departure database. If these were the only two
waypoints for the SID, the programming would be complete. This is how a simple SIDs with no
transitions would be programmed.
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport and the specific departure runway for the
runway transition. In this example we will program the 25R transition. Enter KLAS and
runway 25R into the RTE page.
2. On the LEGS page, enter RBELL into the 1L position and delete all other waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2.
6. Press the 4L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID runway transition.
7. Press the LSK abeam the JEBBB1 SID to select it.
8. Press the 6R LSK to save the runway transition.
To program the 25L runway transition, modify steps 1 and 2 to reflect runway 25L and PIRMO
for that transition. All remaining steps are the same.
A more common type of transition is an enroute SID transition that follows the main SID
waypoints. This example has two enroute SID transitions that occur after JEBBB. These
transitions are programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter the departure airport. This entry does not have to be made if
the departure airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS for our example.
2. On the LEGS page, enter HEC into the 1L position and delete all other waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2.
6. Press the 1L LSK to save the LEGS as a SID transition.
7. Press the LSK abeam the JEBBB1 SID to select it.
8. Type “HEC” into the scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to enter the transition name.
9. Press the 6R LSK to save the SID transition.
To program the remaining SID transition, substitute TNP for HEC in step 2. All remaining steps
are the same.
With the programming complete, the JEBBB1 SID can now be selected from the DEP screen for
KLAS. When the SID is selected, the main waypoints of ROPPR and JEBBB are added to the
LEGS page. If runway 25L or 25R is selected, the appropriate runway transition waypoint is
automatically added to the LEGS page. The optional HEC and TNP enroute transitions are
offered in the SID TRANS column. When selected, the appropriate enroute transition waypoint
is added to the LEGS page.
The following example shows how to program a STAR. A STAR is broken down into the main
procedure waypoints and the optional transition waypoints. The example below is a made up
procedure called the CRESO1 arrival at KLAS.
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the
airport for which the STAR applies. We use KLAS in our example.
2. On the LEGS page, enter DANBY and CRESO in their proper sequence and delete all
other waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the 4L LSK to save the LEGS as a STAR.
6. Type CRESO1 into the scratchpad and press the 5L LSK to name the STAR.
7. Press the 6L LSK to save the STAR.
The CRESO1 STAR is now part of the KLAS arrival database. If these were the only two
waypoints for the STAR, the programming would be complete. This is how a simple STAR with
no transitions would be programmed.
Once the main STAR waypoints are programmed, any existing transition procedures can be
programmed. This example has two enroute STAR transitions used to join the main STAR
waypoints. These transitions are programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the
airport for which the STAR applies. This entry does not have to be made if the arrival
airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS in our example.
2. On the LEGS page, enter HEC into the 1L position and delete all other waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2.
6. Press the 2L LSK to save the LEGS as a STAR transition.
7. Press the LSK abeam the CRESO1 STAR to select it.
8. Type “HEC” into the scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to enter the transition name.
9. Press the 6R LSK to save the STAR transition.
To program the remaining STAR transition, substitute DAG for HEC in step 2. All remaining
steps are the same.
With the programming complete, the CRESO1 STAR can now be selected from the ARR screen
for KLAS. When the STAR is selected, the main waypoints of DANBY and CRESO are added to
the LEGS page. The optional HEC and DAG transitions are offered in the STAR TRANS column.
When selected, the appropriate transition waypoint is added to the LEGS page.
The following example shows how to program an approach procedure. Approach procedures
are broken down into the main approach, missed approach, and optional transitions. The main
and missed approaches are programmed together in one procedure. The optional transitions
are programmed separately. The following example is the ILS to runway 25R at KLAS.
The main part of the approach procedure consists of the two waypoints leading up to the
runway, the runway, and the missed approach procedure. Program the main part of the
approach as follows:
The ILS25R is now part of the KLAS arrival database. To program a LOC, VOR, RNAV or NDB
approach, follow the same steps as shown here except name the approach appropriately.
Once the approach is programmed, any existing transition procedures can be programmed.
This example has one approach transition that can be programmed as follows:
1. On the RTE page, enter a departure and arrival airport. The arrival airport must be the
airport for which the approach applies. This entry does not have to be made if the arrival
airport is correct. We continue to use KLAS for our example.
2. On the LEGS page, enter CROWE and FLICR in their proper sequence and delete all other
waypoints.
3. Press the EXEC function key to activate the FMC changes.
4. Press the MENU function key followed by the 5R LSK to display the SAVE ROUTE menu.
5. Press the NEXT PAGE function key to display page 2.
6. Press the 3R LSK to save the LEGS as an approach transition.
7. Press the LSK abeam the ILS25R to select it.
8. Type “CRESO” into the scratchpad and press the 6L LSK to enter the transition name.
9. Press the 6R LSK to save the approach transition.
With the programming complete, the ILS25R approach can now be selected from the ARR
screen for KLAS. When the approach is selected, the approach waypoints starting at HAWKO
are added to the LEGS page. The optional CRESO transition is offered in the APPCH TRANS
column. When selected, the appropriate transition waypoints are added to the LEGS page.
Heading to Altitude
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until
reaching a specified altitude. An arbitrary anchor waypoint is used to start the programming.
Then, the following formula is entered into the scratchpad:
.CHA/Altitude/Heading/Option1/Option2
The formula is then entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the arbitrary anchor
waypoint. This creates the heading to altitude conditional waypoint. The arbitrary anchor
waypoint is then deleted.
Example: From runway 31L at KJFK, a SID requires a 315° heading until reaching 500 feet,
followed by a left turn on course.
Note: Be sure to press the LSK abeam the arbitrary waypoint when entering the formula into
the LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for an empty waypoint field generates an error message.
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until
crossing a predetermined fix radial. The radial to be crossed is only used to define the
waypoint (for radial tracking, see “Radial Intercept” section). The anchor waypoint used to
start programming is the fix used to define the crossing radial. Then, the following formula is
entered into the scratchpad:
.VRI/Radial/Heading/Option1/Option2
The formula is entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint.
This transforms the anchor waypoint into a heading to radial intercept waypoint.
Example: From runway 31L at KJFK, a SID requires a 315° heading until passing the CRI 043°
radial followed by a left turn on course.
1. On the LEGS page, enter CRI as the anchor waypoint at the 1L LSK.
2. Type “.VRI/043/315/L/H” into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK.
3. Press the EXEC function key to execute the changes.
Note: Be sure to press the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint when entering the formula into the
LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for any other waypoint field generates an error message.
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until
reaching a specific distance from a fix. The anchor waypoint used to start programming is the
fix used to define the distance. Then, the following formula is entered into the scratchpad:
.DMI/Distance/Heading/Option1/Option2
The formula is entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint.
This transforms the anchor waypoint into a heading to distance waypoint.
Example: From runway 25R at KLAX, a SID requires a heading of 220 until the LAX 10 DME and
then a right turn on course.
1. On the LEGS page, enter LAX as the anchor waypoint at the 1L LSK.
2. Type “.DMI/10/220/R/H” into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK.
3. Press the EXEC function key to execute the changes.
Note: Be sure to press the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint when entering the formula into the
LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for any other waypoint field generates an error message.
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires vectors. An arbitrary anchor
waypoint is used to start the programming. Then, the following formula is entered into the
scratchpad:
.VEC/Heading/Option1/Option2
The formula is then entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the arbitrary anchor
waypoint. This creates the vector waypoint. The arbitrary anchor waypoint is then deleted.
Example: From runway 25R at KLAX, a SID requires a heading of 250° for vectors on course.
Note: Be sure to press the LSK abeam the arbitrary waypoint when entering the formula into
the LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for an empty waypoint field generates an error message.
This type of waypoint can be used for a procedure that requires a constant heading until
intercepting a fix radial. The intercepted radial is then tracked until the next waypoint is
reached. The anchor waypoint used to start programming is the fix used to define the intercept
radial. Then, the following formula is entered into the scratchpad:
.INT/Radial/Heading/Option1/Option2
The formula is entered into the LEGS page by pressing the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint.
This transforms the anchor waypoint into a radial intercept waypoint.
Example: A procedure at KMIA requires a 290° heading until intercepting the DHP 335° radial
outbound.
1. On the LEGS page, enter DHP as the anchor waypoint at the 1L LSK.
2. Type “.INT/335/290/A/H” into the scratchpad and press the 1L LSK.
3. Press the EXEC function key to execute the changes.
Note: Be sure to press the LSK abeam the anchor waypoint when entering the formula into the
LEGS page. Pressing an LSK for any other waypoint field generates an error message.
FUEL SYSTEM
Three separate fuel tanks capable of carrying a combined total of 161,000 pounds of fuel are
contained in the wings and center fuselage. Each tank has two electric pumps that deliver fuel
under pressure to the engines or the APU. All three tanks are capable of supplying fuel to
either engine via two crossfeed valves. There are no provisions for the transfer of fuel
between tanks in flight. The overhead Fuel Panel provides for control over the fuel system as
well as quantity indications.
The fuel pumps are powered via the Main AC buses in a cross wired configuration such that
failure of one AC bus leaves one fuel pump operating per tank. The Left Main AC Bus powers
the Left AFT and Right FWD fuel pumps. The Right Main AC Bus powers the Left FWD and Right
AFT fuel pumps.
Fuel for operation of the APU is normally provided by the Left wing tank. When the APU is
switched ON, the Left FWD fuel pump operates automatically provided AC power is available.
Therefore, the PRESS light in the Left FWD fuel pump will extinguish anytime the APU is in use
regardless of the pumps switch position.
The FUEL CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates to indicate either low fuel quantity or an
imbalanced fuel condition in the main tanks. If the fuel quantity in either wing tank drops
below 2,200 pounds, the FUEL CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates along with an EICAS
caution of LOW FUEL. If the lateral balance of the wing tanks is not maintained to within 1500
to 2500 pounds (depending on aircraft weight), the FUEL CONFIG light illuminates and a FUEL
CONFIG EICAS message is displayed.
Center Tanks
The center fuel tank is contained in the fuselage and is capable of holding 80,400 lbs. of fuel.
This tank contains two electric fuel pumps labeled Left and Right for delivery of fuel to the
engines. The center tank fuel pumps are powered from the Main AC buses. The Left Main AC
Bus powers the Left pump. The Right Main AC Bus powers the Right pump. Unlike the wing
tanks, fuel cannot be gravity fed from the center tank. This makes access to center tank fuel
absolutely dependent on the two electric fuel pumps.
The fuel pumps in the center tank provide approximately twice the output pressure of the wing
tank pumps. Any time the center tank fuel pumps are ON, the engines are provided fuel
exclusively from the center tank since these pumps overpower the pressure produced by the
wing tank pumps. In normal operations, all fuel pumps on the Fuel Panel are turned ON when
fuel is carried in the center tank. In this configuration, fuel from the center tank is exhausted
first.
The center tank fuel pumps are inhibited from operating anytime their respective engine is
shut down or N2 is below 50%. In this condition, the PRESS light in each center tank pump
switch will illuminate even if the pump is switched ON. The inhibit is removed when the N2 for
the respective engine is above 50%.
The FUEL CONFIG light on the Fuel Panel illuminates any time the center tank fuel quantity is
above 1200 pounds and the center tank pumps are not selected ON.
When fueling the aircraft, the main wing tanks are normally filled first. When more than
80,000 pounds of fuel is required, the center tank is used only after the main wing tanks are
full. Any fuel carried in the center tank should be burned prior to using fuel from the wing
tanks. This is accomplished by turning on all fuel pumps prior to engine start. As the center
tank is emptied, fuel to the engines continues uninterrupted from the main wing tanks. The
PRESS lights in the center tank pumps illuminate when fuel is exhausted from the center tank.
Fuel Crossfeed
The fuel system is normally operated with fuel from each wing tank supplying its respective
engine after any center tank fuel is exhausted. Two crossfeed valves on the Fuel Panel permit
fuel to feed from any one wing tank to both engines. Both valve switches are normally turned
on during crossfeed operations. However, only one valve is required for a successful crossfeed.
The second valve is for system redundancy.
Wing tank fuel balance is maintained by supplying both engines with fuel exclusively from the
wing tank with the highest quantity until balance is achieved. Opening the crossfeed valve
permits fuel from one wing tank to pass through the crossfeed manifold to supply fuel to both
engines. This is achieved by opening the crossfeed valves and turning off the fuel pumps in the
wing tank with the least amount of fuel. When the wing tanks are even, turn the fuel pumps
back on and close the crossfeed valves to restore the fuel system to normal operation.
Note that fuel crossfeed will not work with the center tank pumps operating since they
overpower the wing tank pumps. Also, the crossfeed valves do not permit transfer of fuel
between wing tanks.
Fuel Dumping
The fuel jettison system permits the dumping of center tank fuel during flight. Control for the
jettison system is provided on the overhead panel via the Fuel Jettison panel. When the
jettison system is activated, fuel from the center tanks is dumped overboard via two jettison
nozzles located at the trailing edge of the wings (near the outboard ailerons).
The jettison rate is approximately 2,600 lbs/min. A fuel vapor trail can be seen coming from
the jettison nozzles when fuel dumping is in progress. Fuel jettison is not available for fuel
contained in the main wing tanks.
1- FWD and AFT Main Fuel Pump Switches: Control power to the FWD and AFT fuel pumps in
the main wing tanks.
Note: When the APU is operating, the Left FWD fuel pump PRESS light is extinguished
regardless of pump switch position.
2 - Center Tank Fuel Pump Switches: Control power to the Left and Right center tank fuel
pumps.
PRESS - Illuminates for low pressure in the respective pump with switches IN.
- Illuminates if the center tank pumps are inhibited when the respective engine
is shut down or N2 is below 50%.
- Center tank fuel pumps are off with more than 1200 pounds in the center tank.
- Wing tank fuel quantities differ by more than 1500 - 2500 pounds.
- There is less than 2,200 pounds of fuel remaining in either wing tank.
Note: Crossfeed will not work when the center tank pumps are ON.
The fuel quantity gauge displays in either English or Metric, depending on FS2004 settings.
1- Nozzle Switch: Controls the fuel jettison nozzle on the respective side.
2- Jettison VALVE light: Indicates that the jettison valve is not in the commanded position.
Normally, the jettison switch is in the OFF position and the jettison nozzle switches are blank
(closed). Turning the jettison switch to ON opens the jettison valves and turns on the jettison
pumps. If the jettison nozzles are closed (blank), fuel will not jettison. Press the fuel jettison
nozzles ON to commence fuel dumping. To end fuel dumping, turn off the jettison nozzles and
place the jettison switch to OFF.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Hydraulic power is used to drive the movement of flight controls (primary and secondary),
landing gear, and brakes. The 767 has three independent hydraulic systems: left, center and
right. Each system has multiple pumps driven by separate power sources. The left and right
systems have engine driven pumps and electric demand pumps. The center system has electric
driven pumps and an Air Driven Demand Pump (ADP). This design allows for the loss of 1 or 2
hydraulic systems while providing limited operation of basic flight controls and related
systems. A Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is available that powers critical flight controls in the event
of complete hydraulic system failure.
The engine driven demand pumps operate continuously to satisfy normal system demand when
the Primary Pump Switch is ON and the respective engine is running. The primary engine
pump switches are normally left ON and are only switched off during abnormal operations.
Pulling the fire handle shuts off the respective primary pump and isolates it from the hydraulic
system.
The electrically driven demand pumps operate on demand and are capable of supplying
sufficient pressure to satisfy normal system demands. Each demand pump is powered
independently. The left demand pump is powered by the Right Main AC Bus. The right demand
pump is powered by the Left Main AC Bus. Control is provided by a three-position rotary switch
with OFF, AUTO and ON positions. In the AUTO position the demand pump operates if the
primary pump fails or is turned off. In the ON position the demand pump runs continuously
regardless of primary pump status. These pumps are normally in the AUTO mode for all
aircraft operations and are shut OFF at the gate.
The center primary electric pumps are designated Number 1 and Number 2 and operate on two
separate power sources. The Number 1 pump is powered by the Left Main AC Bus. The Number
2 pump is powered by the Right Main AC Bus. To reduce electrical demands, the Number 2
pump will not operate (regardless of switch position) if all other electric pumps are operating
when only one power source is available. Both pumps are normally ON for all aircraft
operations and are shut off at the gate.
The air driven demand pump (ADP) is powered using bleed air from the center pneumatic duct.
The center isolation valve must be open for the ADP to receive bleed air from either the
engines or the APU. Control is provided by a three-position rotary switch with OFF, AUTO and
ON positions. In the AUTO position the ADP operates on demand only. In the ON position the
ADP operates continuously regardless of system demands.
The RAT deploys automatically in flight with dual engine failure. It can be deployed manually
using the RAT switch on the overhead panel. Once deployed, it can only be stowed on the
ground using the Ground Requests menu. The RAT provides partial hydraulic power for the
ailerons, elevators, rudder and spoilers. A check valve prevents the RAT from powering other
center system components due to their high demand.
Illumination of the Brake Source light on the main panel indicates that hydraulic pressure in
both the right and center systems is low. The Brake Source light extinguishes when pressure
has been restored to the center system by using the RESERVE BKS & STRG switch.
2- Primary Engine Driven Pump Switches: Control operation of the left and right engine
driven pumps.
3- Primary Electric Driven Pump Switches: Control operation of the Number 1 and Number 2
electrically driven pumps.
Note: Number 2 primary electric pump is inhibited if all electric pumps are selected on
and there is only one power source available.
4- Demand Pump Selectors: Control the operation of the hydraulic Demand pumps.
BRAKE
SOURCE - Right and center hydraulic pressures are low.
- Extinguishes if satisfactory pressure is restored to either right or center
hydraulic system.
PRESS - Indicates sufficient pressure is being produced by the RAT when deployed.
UNLKD - Indicates that the RAT has been deployed (automatically or manually).
Note: Pressing the switch manually deploys the RAT. Use the Ground Requests menu to re-stow
the RAT (only available on the ground).
Pressing the STATUS button on the main panel brings up the hydraulic display on the lower
EICAS screen.
1 – Indicates reservoir quantity for each system. Full is indicated by 1.0 (100%). If “RF” is
displayed, hydraulic fluid quantity needs servicing.
2- Indicates current hydraulic pressure for each system. 3000 is normal for a fully
pressurized system.

Engine Anti-Ice
The engine cowls are heated with engine bleed air when the engine anti-ice switches are
switched ON. When switched ON, the anti-ice valve in the respective engine opens to allow
hot engine bleed air into the anti-ice ducting. These valves are electrically controlled and
pneumatically actuated. The engine bleed air switches do not affect the operation of the anti-
ice valves since bleed air for anti-ice protection is taken prior to the engine bleed valves.
The EICAS screen displays “TAI” in green under the N1 indication for the respective engine
when the anti-ice system is switched ON. The engine anti-ice system is normally turned ON at
all times while operating in icing conditions. Additionally, the system should be turned on
anytime icing conditions are anticipated.
Wing Anti-Ice
The leading edges of each wing have ice protection when the wing anti-ice switch is ON. One
switch controls two wing anti-ice valves that are downstream from the engine bleed valves.
Therefore, the engine bleed valve switches must be ON for wing anti-ice to function.
Wing anti-ice is only available in-flight. The wing anti-ice valves remain closed if the switch is
pressed ON while on the ground. Wing anti-ice is normally turned ON only after ice
accumulation is suspected.
Window Heat
The forward and side windows are electrically heated for ice and fog protection. Control for
this system is provided by four switches on the overhead panel. When switched ON, the
windows are electrically heated anytime Main AC bus power is available. The switches are
normally turned ON prior to departure and turned OFF after engine shutdown.
Windshield Wipers
A two speed wiper is controlled by a rotary switch on the overhead panel. When selected to
LOW or HIGH, the windshield wiper will appear while operating in the Virtual Cockpit mode.
The wiper is not visible when operating with the 2D panel.

IRU Alignment
An alignment period is required before the IRUs can supply data. An initial alignment of 10
minutes is required when moving the IRS Mode Selector from OFF to NAV. This is known as a
“full” alignment. During this period the IRUs are oriented to true north and establish their
current position. The aircrafts known present position (latitude/longitude) must be entered
within the 10 minute alignment period. This entry is normally made using the FMC POS INIT
page. Additionally, the aircraft must be on the ground and cannot be moved during alignment.
An alignment failure is indicated by the ALIGN lights flashing on the IRS panel. In this case the
alignment must be restarted. A successful alignment is indicated by the ALIGN lights
extinguishing.
IRU Failure
Failure of any IRU is normally indicated by a FAULT light on the IRS panel. In normal
operations, failure of the left or right IRU is indicated by the loss of EADI and EHSI information
on the respective side. Failure of the center IRU is indicated by a NO LAND 3 message on the
Autoland Status Annunciator and a C IRS FAULT message on the EICAS. The Instrument Source
Transfer Switches can be used to manage flight instruments during non-normal operation of the
IRUs. Use of these switches are explained in the Flight Instruments section.
1- Data Window: Displays IRS data depending on DSPL SEL switch position (the present lat/long
co-ordinates for the left IRU is pictured here).
2- Display Select Knob: Controls the display of data in the IRS Data Window.

POSTFLIGHT
Aircraft shutdown:
Placing the gear handle in the UP position commands gear retraction if Center hydraulic power
is available. After gear retraction, the handle is normally placed in the OFF position (via
mouse click on the gear handle). This position cuts off hydraulic power to the landing gear so
that the gear are held UP mechanically. Placing the gear in the DOWN position commands the
gear extension sequence. Retraction and extension is monitored by the gear indication system
above the gear handle on the main panel.
An alternate gear extension system is provided if the gear fail to extend normally. The system
uses an electric motor to release the mechanical up-locks holding the gear in place. The gear
are then extended by gravity and airloads. The use of this alternate system requires electrical
power only.
The main gear have hydraulic brakes that can be controlled manually or automatically via an
Autobrake system. The brake system is normally powered by the Right hydraulic system. An
alternate means to power the brake system is provided by the Center hydraulic system. If both
Center and Right hydraulic power sources fail, a reserve brake system can be used to restore
hydraulic pressure to the brakes.
Brakes can be applied automatically using the Autobrake system. The Autobrakes use the
normal braking system to provide a metered braking application in the event of a rejected
takeoff or during the landing rollout. The system is controlled by the Autobrake selector on the
main panel. The following positions are available: RTO, OFF, DISARM, 1, 2, 3, 4, and MAX
AUTO.
The Autobrakes use information from the IRS system to apply braking at a set deceleration rate
based on the Autobrake selector switch setting. For takeoff, the RTO position applies
maximum available braking during a rejected takeoff. The system is armed when reaching 85
knots and is activated if both power levers are reduced to idle. For landing, selecting positions
1 through MAX applies a varying amount of braking with 1 being the least amount and MAX
being the most. The Autobrake system is automatically disengaged when manual brakes are
applied.
2- Landing Gear Position Indicators: The respective gear assembly is down and locked when
illuminated.
3- DOORS Disagree Light: Illuminates any time the landing gear doors are not in agreement
with the landing gear handle position. Illuminates normally during the gear extension and
retraction sequence.
Note: The DOORS light remains illuminated when the gear are extended using the
alternate gear switch.
4- GEAR Disagree Light: Illuminates if any one landing gear assembly is not in the commanded
position. Illuminates normally during the gear extension and retraction sequence.
5- TAIL Skid light: Illuminates if the tail skid is not in the commanded position. The tail skid
extends and retracts with the normal gear extension and retraction sequences. The tail skid
does not extend when using the alternate gear extension procedure.
1- Alternate Gear Extend Switch: Electrically controls the extension of the landing gear by
releasing the mechanical up-locks.
- The landing gear handle should be placed down when using the alternate extend switch.
- The DOORS light remains illuminated when using this extension procedure.
2- Ground Proximity Override Switches: Override the GPWS system when landing with an
abnormal gear or flap configuration.

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
The pneumatic system is supplied air by the engines, APU or an external air source. The
following systems use air from the pneumatic system:
The engines provide the primary source of air for the pneumatic system in flight. The APU is
capable of supplying air for the pneumatic system in flight up to an altitude of 20,000 feet.
When the engines are not running, the APU is the primary source of air to run the air condition
packs and for engine starting. If the APU is not used (or inoperative), an external air source
can be connected via the Ground Request menu.
The pneumatic system is separated into three separate systems via isolation valves. The
opening and closing of three isolation valves controls distribution of air between the left,
center and right pneumatic ducting. Normally the left and right pneumatic systems operate
independently to power their respective system components. The center system normally uses
air from either the left or right system when available to power its components.
Engine Bleeds
Bleed valves for the left and right engines control air supply from the engines to the pneumatic
system. Control for these valves is provided by left and right engine bleed valve switches on
the overhead pneumatic panel. These switches are pushed IN for all normal operations. When
pushed in, the respective bleed valve is automatically controlled to open and close based on
system demands. Battery power is required for operation of the bleed valves.
APU Bleed
The APU bleed valve controls air supply from the APU to the pneumatic system. Control for the
valve is provided by the APU bleed valve switch on the overhead pneumatic panel. This switch
is pushed IN for all normal operations. When pushed in, the APU bleed valve is automatically
controlled. The APU is capable of supplying sufficient air for the operation of the air
conditioning packs or for engine starting.
The APU bleed valve coordinates operation with the engine bleed valves. System logic provides
for air supply to the pneumatic system based on available pressure. If the APU is the only
source of air for the system, the APU bleed valve opens. If engine bleed air becomes available
and is of sufficient pressure to supply the pneumatic demands, the APU bleed valve closes and
the engine bleed valve opens.
The APU is subjected to a one minute cool-down period if the APU bleed valve is in use when
the APU is shut down. When the APU switch on the electric panel is turned OFF, the APU bleed
valve cycles closed and the APU continues to run for one minute before shutting down. The
APU is not subjected to this cool-down period if the APU was not use as a bleed source prior to
shutdown.
Prior to engine start, the three isolation valves are normally open so that bleed air from the
APU or the external air source can power the entire pneumatic system. After engine start, the
left and right isolation valves are normally closed so that the left and right pneumatic systems
are provided air by their respective engine bleed valves. The center isolation valve is normally
open and the center duct pressurized with air drawn from both the left and right systems. If
the center isolation valve is closed, the center system duct can only be pressurized with air
from the APU.
Left and right pneumatic duct pressure readings are shown by the pressure gauge on the
pneumatic panel. There is no cockpit indication of center system duct pressure. This gauge is
normally referenced during engine start since a minimum of 25 psi duct pressure is required for
a successful start. If insufficient duct pressure is displayed prior to start, check to make sure
the packs are OFF. With the packs OFF, a normal duct pressure reading is approximately 40 to
60 psi.
The left, center, and right pneumatic ducts are monitored for leaks. A DUCT LEAK light
illuminates if a leak is detected in the affected system. Additionally, the left and center ducts
are monitored for pressure and temperature. A BLEED light illuminates if there is too much
pressure in respective duct. An OVHT light illuminates if there is an over-temperature
condition in the respective duct.
Setting the pack selector to AUTO opens the pack valve when bleed air is available and
provides for automatic temperature control of pack air outlet temperature. The PACK OFF light
illuminates if the pack is switched OFF or there is no bleed air available. The packs are
regulated to produce an air temperature that satisfies the demands of the coolest
compartment as set by the cabin temperature controllers. The trim air system provides warm
air if required to adjust the air temperature demands of the other compartments.
Setting the pack selector to N, C or W opens the pack valve to produce a constant pack outlet
temperature. These modes are generally used if the AUTO mode fails. The N mode regulates
pack outlet temperature to a constant moderate temperature (approximately 75F). The C
mode sets the pack to full cold (approximately 65F). The W mode sets the pack to full warm
(approximately 85F).
The Trim Air switch permits the temperature of air flow from the packs to be automatically
regulated by the cabin temperature control knobs. If the Trim Air switch is OFF, cabin air is
regulated based only on the pack selector setting. The cabin is regulated to 75F if the TRIM AIR
switch is OFF and the pack selectors are in AUTO. The Trim Air switch is normally left in the
ON position.
Recirculation fans in the air conditioning system recirculate cabin air into the system and also
provide air circulation for equipment cooling. The use of recirculated air reduces bleed
demands on the engines. Power for the recirculation fans is provided by the Utility Buses. The
recirculation fans are normally left ON at all times.
Pressurization System
Pressurization of the aircraft is achieved by regulating the outflow of air from the cabin via an
outflow valve. Control of the pressurization system is provided on the overhead panel. The
outflow valve is normally controlled by one of two selectable automatic modes. These modes
are identical and offer system redundancy. A failure of the operating mode leads to the
automatic engagement of the other mode without pilot interaction. If both automatic modes
fail, the outflow valve can be controlled manually.
The automatic modes are powered by the Main AC buses. The manual mode is powered by the
Standby DC bus.
Pressurization indications are provided on the overhead. Cabin altitude, cabin rate of climb,
and cabin pressure differential readings are displayed. The pressurization indicators are
powered by the Standby AC bus.
If the cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet, a CABIN ALTITUDE warning message is illuminated
along with an aural warning. The outflow valve is automatically driven closed in an attempt to
maintain remaining cabin pressure when the cabin altitude warning is activated.
Equipment Cooling
Flight deck instruments and equipment in the electrical compartment are cooled using a
common air supply, cooling fans, and exhaust ducting. Control for the system is provided on
the overhead panel by a selector switch with AUTO, STBY and OVRD positions. The controller is
normally left in the AUTO position. This allows for automatic operation of the system. The
other positions are used if the automatic system fails or smoke is sensed in the electronics
area.
1- Duct Pressure Gauge: Displays the duct pressure in the left and right pneumatic ducts. A
minimum of 25 psi is required for engine start.
2- Isolation Valve Switches: Control the flow of bleed air between the left, right and center
systems.
Note: The center isolation valve is normally open for all operations. The left and right
isolation valves are normally open on the ground for engine starts and for pack operation
via APU bleed air. The left and right isolation valves are normally closed after both
engines are started.
3- DUCT LEAK Light: When illuminated indicates a leak has been detected in the respective
duct. The duct pressure gauge can be used to confirm a leak in the left or right ducts.
4- Left and Right Engine Bleed Valve Switch: Controls the engine bleed valves.
OFF - Illuminates when engine bleed valve is closed regardless of switch position.
1- Pack Control Selector: Controls the operation of the air conditioning pack.
AUTO - Pack valve operates when bleed air is available and regulates outlet temperature
based on air conditioning system temperature demands.
OFF - Temperature controllers are bypassed and the cabin temperatures are regulated
to the pack outlet temperature.
6- Temperature Selector INOP Lights: When illuminated indicate that the respective
temperature controller is OFF, the Trim Air switch is OFF, or the temperature controller has
failed. All three INOP lights illuminate when the Trim Air switch is OFF.
Pressurization Controls
2– AUTO INOP light: Illuminates if both auto controllers have failed or MAN mode is selected.
3- Auto Rate Selector: Selects the limit for cabin altitude climb and descent in the AUTO
mode. Index rate is 500fpm climb and 300fpm descent.
4- Manual Control Knob: Controls the outflow valve when MAN mode is selected. Rotate the
knob toward CLIMB to open the outflow valve. Rotate the knob toward DESCEND to close the
outflow valve.
5- Outflow Valve Position Indicator: Indicates the position of the outflow valve.
OP= Open, CL= Closed.
6- Landing Altitude Selector: Rotate the knob to set the landing field elevation. The
automatic mode sets a pressurization schedule based on this altitude.

VOR Receivers
Two VOR receivers are found on the main panel. VOR 1 is located on the Captains side of the
AFDS panel. VOR 2 is located on the First Officers side of the AFDS and is visible when the FO
panel is displayed. Each VOR receiver is capable of both manual tuning and automatic tuning
via the FMC. When the VOR receiver is in the AUTO mode, the FMC tunes the VOR receiver
automatically to nearby stations for position verification. The VOR can also be remotely tuned
by the FMC using the PROG page. When the VOR is in the MAN mode, the pilot controls the
tuned frequency and course.
VOR information is displayed on the EHSI and the RDMI for the on-side VOR receiver. On the
EHSI, VOR information is displayed when the full or expanded VOR modes is selected on the HSI
mode control panel. On the RDMI, VOR information is displayed when the RMI selector needle
is pointing at VOR. The currently tuned VOR frequency and its identifier is shown in the FMC as
well.
ILS Receiver
An independent ILS receiver is located on the pedestal. It is dedicated to tuning ILS
frequencies only. When tuned to an ILS frequency that is in range, the ILS information is
displayed on the EADI and EHSI. ILS information is also available on the Standby ADI. The ILS
receiver can be parked by dialing the frequency down past 108. A dashed line represents the
parked mode. This mode inhibits display of ILS information on the flight instruments.
ADF Receiver
The ADF receiver is located on the pedestal. This receiver has an active and a standby
frequency displayed. Switching between the active and standby frequencies is done by
pressing the frequency selection TFR switch. Control for the audio output of the ADF is
provided by the Audio Control Panel. ADF information can be displayed on either of the two
RDMI needles when the respective RMI selector needle is pointing at ADF.
VHF Radios
Two VHF radios are installed on the pedestal. Each receiver has an active and a standby
frequency displayed. Switching between the active and standby frequencies is done by
pressing the frequency selection TFR switch. Control for the audio output of each radio is
provided by the Audio Control Panel.
HF Radios
Two HF radios are found on the overhead panel. The receiver is controlled by a rotary switch
with OFF, USB and AM positions. The radio is normally left in the OFF position. To turn the HF
radio on, place the switch in the USB or AM position. The audio output from the HF radio is
controlled by the Audio Control Panel. The only frequencies that do not have static are 5.000,
10.000 and 15.000. These frequencies broadcast a clock tone.
The VOR receiver frequency and course may also be adjusted by placing the mouse cursor over
the frequency or course display window and scrolling the mouse wheel.
- To park the ILS receiver, dial down past 108 until dashes (-------) are displayed.
HF Radio Controls
- Pressing a MIC selector button selects the associated radio to transmit and automatically
turns on the respective audio control knob.
- An audio control knob is active when it is illuminated.
- Pressing on the top of an audio control dial makes the selected channel audible.
- The volume is controllable on those channels that display a +/- when the mouse hand is

- Some receiver channels are on/off only.
- To hear cockpit to ground communications, turn on the INT audio selector and adjust the
volume as desired.
- To hear cabin announcements, turn on the PA audio selector and adjust the volume as
desired.
This panel can be used for ground and flight crew interaction without having to select the
Level-D menu. The SELCAL buttons across the top have no function in the sim.
1- Cabin Call – A request from the cabin crew generates an aural tone and causes one of the
CABIN CALL lights to illuminate. Pressing the illuminated light displays a dialogue box to
control the flight crew interaction. Select a number in the presented dialogue box for the
desired response to a flight crew request.
2- Ground Call - Press the GND CALL button to display a ground crew interaction box. This
box contains the same selections found in the Level-D “Ground requests” menu.
Press the number on the keyboard that corresponds to the desired interaction. Further
dialogue boxes are displayed when required for each item. These interactions are the same as
described previously under “Ground requests”.
Note: When a request is being processed (after selection), the ground requests menu is not
available until the requested process has been completed.
WARNING SYSTEMS
Three main systems on the aircraft provide the pilot with aural and visual alerts when potential
problems or conflicts are detected. The Crew Alerting System (CAS) monitors aircraft systems.
The Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) alerts of possible traffic conflicts. And
the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) warns of hazardous flight conditions when
proximity to terrain becomes critical.
Warnings – Messages display in red on the upper EICAS. These require immediate crew
action.
Cautions – Messages display in amber on the upper EICAS. These require crew action on a
timely basis.
Advisories – Messages that are offset and displayed in amber on the upper EICAS. These
require crew action on a time-available basis.
Status – Messages displayed on the lower EICAS STATUS page. These messages are for low
level faults that usually generate no indications in the cockpit.
Multiple fault conditions are prioritized by the system so that Warnings have the highest
priority over Cautions and Advisories. Both Warnings and Cautions generate an aural alert and
trigger the illumination of the master WARNING or CAUTION light on the glare shield. Pressing
the illuminated button on the glare shield silences the aural warning and resets the light for
subsequent activation.
Some Warnings and Cautions are inhibited during certain phases of operation. On the ground
with both engines shut down, most Warnings and Cautions are inhibited so that only the
associated Annunciator light and EICAS message are generated. Fire Warnings are still active
and do generate an aural alert on the ground. During the takeoff roll and initial climb out, all
Warnings and Cautions are inhibited starting around 80 knots and until passing 400 feet radio
height.
The GPWS system provides altitude callouts during landing to assist the crew. The following
callouts are made based on radio height: 2500, 1000, 500, 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and
MINIMUMS (based on DA setting on the pedestal). The system also advises when an excessive
bank angle exists by announcing “BANK ANGLE”. Above 150 feet, the announcement is
activated past 40 degrees of bank. Below 150 feet, the activation angle is reduced
progressively from 40 to 10 degrees at 30 feet.
“WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP” – Announced when dangerous proximity to the ground requires
immediate action from the pilot. The warning envelope depends on configuration,
airspeed, radio height and closure rate.
”TOO LOW…FLAPS” - The flaps are not in the landing configuration (25 or 30) in close
proximity to the ground. The warning envelope depends on radio altitude and airspeed.
”TOO LOW…GEAR” - The gear are not down in close proximity to the ground. The warning
envelope depends on radio altitude and airspeed.
”TOO LOW…TERRAIN” – Announced when the aircraft has unsafe terrain clearance at low
airspeed. The warning envelope depends on airspeed and radio height.
”MINIMUMS MINIMUMS” Announced when the radio height matches the value set in the DH
selector on the pedestal.
The GPWS also warns if windshear is detected. The windshear warning consists of the
WINDSHEAR light, a windshear aural warning, and a Master Warning. The warning is cancelled
when the conditions no longer exist.
Area traffic are displayed on the EHSI MAP mode at their relative distance, bearing, and
altitude from the aircraft. The relative altitude of the traffic is displayed in +/- 100s of feet
next to the targets symbol along with a vertical trend arrow. The trend arrow points up if the
traffic is climbing and points down if the traffic is descending. As a matter of convention,
lower traffic have negative values with data tags displayed below the traffic symbol. Higher
traffic have positive values with data tags displayed above the traffic symbol.
Non-threatening “other” traffic are displayed as hollow white diamonds with their relative
altitude displayed. Traffic that penetrates the TCAS advisory threshold display as solid white
diamonds. When the proximity of the traffic becomes more critical, a Traffic Advisory (TA) is
received and the target becomes a solid yellow circle. Traffic that become an immediate
threat become red squares and a Resolution Advisory is received. Vertical escape commands
are generated and must be followed precisely by the pilot. The traffic display returns to normal
when the “CLEAR OF CONFLICT” announcement is received.
1- Warnings: Always displayed on top in RED. Can only be cleared by fixing the malfunction.
These require immediate crew attention.
2- Cautions: Displayed on top below any warnings. These messages may be cancelled using the
CANCEL button next to the EICAS screen. These items require timely corrective action.
3- Advisories: Displayed offset 1 character from the other messages. These messages do not
generate an aural alert and may be canceled using the CANCEL button. These items require
corrective action on a time available basis.
4- Page #: Displayed anytime more than one page of messages is available. Use the CANCEL
and RECALL buttons to view messages as described below.

The following procedures are written with a “flow” concept in mind. Cockpit flows are used
extensively during all phases of flight to facilitate the safe and expedient operation of aircraft
systems.
Cockpit Preparation
The Cockpit Preparation flow starts with the upper left hand corner of the overhead panel.
Each overhead panel system is checked in a downward flow beginning at the top of each
overhead panel column. After the overhead is checked, the flight instruments and AFDS panel
are checked from left to right. From the AFDS panel, follow down the EICAS screens to
preflight the pedestal systems. The following checklist is an expanded version with
explanations of each procedure when necessary.
IRS Mode Selectors – NAV Place the mode selector switches for all IRU’s to
NAV and enter the aircraft position in the FMC POS
INIT page.
Yaw Damper Switches – ON Check to make sure both switches are ON. These
switches are always left ON.
EEC Switches – ON Check to make sure both switches are ON. These
switches are always left ON.
Hydraulic Panel – Check Primary engine pumps switches ON.
Primary electric and all demand pump switches
OFF.
Overhead Cautions – Check Check for normal indications (ex. Door lights).
Evacuation Signal Panel – Check Switch should be guarded OFF and test the EVAC
light.
HF Radio – OFF
Battery Switch – ON
Standby Power Selector – AUTO
Electrical Panel – Check All electrical switches should be pushed IN.
Electrical switches are only turned OFF for
abnormal conditions.
APU – As required. Start the APU if necessary or establish external
power.
Cockpit Voice Recorder – Test. Listen for test tone.
Emergency Light Switch – Armed
Passenger Oxygen Switch – Blank
Ram Air Turbine Switch – Blank
Ignition Switch – Set Set 1 for odd days, 2 for even days, and BOTH for
cold weather operations.
Engine Start Selectors – AUTO
Fuel Jettison Panel – OFF Switches blank and selector OFF.
Fuel Panel – Set Forward and Aft main fuel pumps OFF.
Center fuel pumps OFF.
Crossfeed switches OFF.
Fuel quantity and balance – Check Check the proper fuel load and balance.
Engine and Wing Anti-Ice – OFF
Exterior Lights – As required. Position lights should be ON. All others OFF.
Cargo Heat – OFF
Window Heat – ON
Following the cockpit preparation flow, the following procedures are used in normal
operations. These procedures are done by memory with reference to an abbreviated checklist.
The abbreviated checklist is included at the end of this section.
Starting Engines
Announce “Starting___Engine”. The right engine is normally started first.
L or R Start Selector – GND Set the appropriate start selector to GND to begin
the start sequence.
L or R Fuel Control Switch – RUN When N2 reaches a minimum of 18%, set
appropriate fuel control selector to RUN and
monitor EGT for lightoff. Abort the start for
abnormal indications or if temperature exceeds
750 during start.
At 50% N2, Confirm Start Selector AUTO. Confirm start selector returns to AUTO.
Repeat procedure for remaining engine.
Before Takeoff
Parking Brake – Released
Flaps – Set for Takeoff Set 5 or 15.
Takeoff Briefing – Accomplish Verify performance and navigation data in the
FMC and brief the takeoff procedure.
Flight Attendants – Notify
Takeoff
Exterior Lights – Set Turn on landing lights and anti-collision lights.
Transponder – Set TA/RA
Throttles – Advance to 70% N1.
A/T – Arm and engage N1 mode Verify proper thrust is set prior to 80 knots.
Verify 80 knots. Verify THR HOLD mode.
Monitor airspeed for V1 and VR At VR, rotate smoothly until airborne and then
establish an approximate 15 degree pitch up
attitude. Then follow the FD pitch commands.
Positive rate of climb Gear handle UP, then OFF when retracted.
At 400’ Select LNAV or HDG SEL as required.
For LNAV, use the DIRECT TO procedure or
intercept the route course using HDG SEL.
At 1000’ Engage VNAV and follow FD commands
or
Select FL CH and set speed to 250.
