01 Departure 006 - Manzhouli - Ulaanbaatar
.
I decided to tackle the Genghis Khan approach this week & not a lot has changed since I last flew it in 2016.
This is also part of my series of attempting the various situations as listed in the Load folder of the Aerowinx softwarer to give a balanced & overall approach to the training methodology.
Enjoy.Good evening, said the man form the ABC in a Tuxedo in Olden Times.Perhaps he would also say "here is this weeks Aerowinx Flight Training Software update or post." "Take it away Neil"
READY FOR A CHALLENGE....GENGHIS KHAN RIDES AGAIN
If you`re tired of the "milk runs' like WSSS (Singapore)-EGLL (Heathrow) using Aerowinx for planning emergencies, diversions et al, there is a sleeping little file 01 Departure 006 - Manzhouli - Ulaanbaatar which is from Manzhouli (a city of inner Mongolia) to Ualaanbaatar or Genghis Khan (the capital of Mongolia). The difference in elevation is about 2000 feet with a landing elevation of 4326 feet, and that`s just for 'starters'.
Here is a quick summary of some of the events you will face in a very quick time frame when dealing with thin air.
1. Watch the FMC nominated speeds; you could find yourself in an Over speed situation in CLB or CRZ Modes very quickly.
2.It`s obvious but Keep your head outside the cockpit, everything happens very quickly as the nominated airframe on Aerowinx is an Air China Cargo Plane which can climb up to 4,000 feet a minute; OK for animals I guess but not humans.
3. On Takeoff the Aerowinx software throw up an "niggling but significant" emergencies like in YELLOW EICAS (Emergency Indicating Crew Alerting System) TIRE PRESSURE meaning you`ll have to use the over run are to get airborne,
GEAR DISAGREE in Climb, or changes to CLB2 speed requiring excellent monitoring of the speeds & turns on the Departure.
I changed the Bank Setting from AUTO to 15 degrees to enable a greater sense of control over the airframe.
4.Fly this .situ with different aircraft and you will be challenged. if you choose one of the BA aircraft you can very quickly have a speed limitation of 205 knots meaning you have to stay at Flaps 1 for the whole climb, it`s the same with QF.
If you choose the TRANSAERO (a Russian aircargo company) airframe, you`ll be climbing at 250 knots and arriving at your next level very quickly.To me this is probably the closest thing to a real cockpit operational scenario.
5. On descent I found applying the 3 nautical miles = 1,000 feet calculation required logical and quick mental calculations all the way down; remember the thin air?
The flight brings you on Final at a an elevation of 4,200 feet but with 2,200 feet to Touch down with 6 NM to go. Hint: check is the gear down, you may have to go to the First Officers side & press the GEAROVRD guarded switch.
6. Also going from 220 to 170 knots to 149 for flaps 25 in quick succession menas speed management is crucial and challenging.
My one big disappointment is there were no ATC files, although there was a Voice nominated, in the Setup files? Can Hardy Heinlin or anyone answer this questions for me?
I will be flying this one again although i feel I`ve earnt myself a sleepy YSSY-YPER (Sydney to Perth) sector first.
I look forward to your responses to flying the .situ in Aerowinx.
Till next time,
Neil
PS I haven`t posted for 2 weeks due to various time constraints of my own. Apologies
