# First Steps

### Familiarization <a href="#familiarization" id="familiarization"></a>

1. Set up a custom controls profile (see below).
2. Calibrate your throttle (see below).
3. Read the Procedure Guide.
4. Read the EFB pages (loading, settings, charts).
5. In case of any issue check out the FAQs first.

### Controls Assignments <a href="#controls-assignments" id="controls-assignments"></a>

The aircraft uses a very complex automatic logic which interfers with the use of key bindings. This can lead to malfunctions and significantly impair the flight. Therefore, we recommend that you create a separate controller profile for the E-Jets and delete the following key bindings:

* TOGGLE MASTER BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR
* TOGGLE MASTER ALTERNATOR

### Throttle Calibration <a href="#throttle-calibration" id="throttle-calibration"></a>

**The throttle calibration page can be accessed via EFB → Settings (gear, upper right) → Calibration tab**

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/Throttle_Calibration_Legend.jpg)

***

**Axis Assignment**

Currently you can't bind your throttle axis to the "Throttle general" key.

* Please bind your axes to THROTTLE 1 AXIS and THROTTLE 2 AXIS.
* If you only have one throttle lever, bind them to THROTTLE AXIS.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1674160023091.png)

***

**Deadzones**

For each detent position you can assign a minimum and maximum deadzone limit.

* The colors reflect the detent position (White = Idle, Green = TO/GA, Orange = MAX)
* The deadzone thresholds can be changed by dragging them up and down.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1674158377926.png)

***

**LINK AXIS**

Click to synchronize left and right axis. The applied method is indicated with a gree dot. To disable axis linking just click on the LINK AXIS button again.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1674157955819.png)

* Left > Right: Sync left axis to right axis
* Left < Right: Sync right axis to left axis
* Average: Sync based on the average of both axis
* Minimum Level: Sync the axis with the lowest value to higher axis
* Maximum Level: Sync the axis with the highest value to the lower axis

{% hint style="info" %}
**Single Throttle Lever**

If your hardware throttle only has one lever, you don't have to link the axes because they are already linked by the axis binding in the MSFS control options.
{% endhint %}

***

**REV ON AXIS**

Activating this puts the reverser to your current axis. 0% equals maximum reverse. Disabling this option sets 0% back to idle thrust.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1674158603284.png)

***

**LINK SETTINGS**

Synchronizes the last deadzone changes to the other side. Use this after configuring one axis to set up the other one with the same deadzones by one click.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1674158093721.png)


# FAQs

### Can I improve my framerate? <a href="#can-i-improve-my-framerate" id="can-i-improve-my-framerate"></a>

Currently, all screens in the cockpit are rendered individually. This means that the more displays are active, the more has to be calculated. Performance can be increased if screens are switched off (e.g. on the copilot side) by dimming the brightness knobs next to the Primary Flight Display.

You can also lower per-display caps on EFB → Settings → **Aircraft** → **Display Refresh Rate** (PFD, MFD, MCDU, EICAS, IESS, EFB). The maximum follows the MSFS **Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate**.

***

### How can I add weight & fuel? <a href="#how-can-i-add-weight-amp-fuel" id="how-can-i-add-weight-amp-fuel"></a>

Navigate to **Departure** on the [EFB](/e-jet-series/special-features/electronic-flight-bag/flight-management). Import SimBrief or enter weights, then **Begin Loading** (Real-time, Instant, or GSX).

Please don't use the in-game weight menu — it conflicts with the custom weight-and-balance logic.

***

### Are there known incompatibilities? <a href="#known-incompatibilities" id="known-incompatibilities"></a>

**Other 3rd party addons**

Unfortunately, some 3rd party addons are not programmed optimally, so that they overwrite certain standard functions or displays in the MSFS and change their behavior, which in turn affects our aircraft. The following errors can occur:

* The DRM popup window does not appear
* The aircraft doesn't appear in the selection menu
* The whole addon crashes

To prevent this, we strongly recommend using an addon linker (e.g. the free [MSFS Addons Linker](https://de.flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker) Tool) to activate only one aircraft addon per session and prevent mutual misbehavior.

The following 3rd party addons have already been identified as problematic by our community, although no guarantee can be given for correctness and completeness.

### Autopilot doesn't intercept the ILS properly <a href="#autopilot-doesn-t-intercept-the-ils-properly" id="autopilot-doesn-t-intercept-the-ils-properly"></a>

The custom autopilot and flight director are implemented (including ILS LOC/GS, VNAV, and go-around). Follow the intercept procedure in the [Procedure Guide](/e-jet-series/normal-procedures/procedure-guide#approach).

***

### What's the difference between "TO Pitch" and "Trim"?

"TO Pitch" refers to the initial pitch attitude for takeoff, displayed as a magenta bar on the flight director. It's not the same as trim. Setting an takeoff trim incorrectly can make rotation difficult. To find the correct trim value, use the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) to load flight details and check the manifest tab for the "TRM" value. Confirm this value on the EICAS display. Before takeoff, ensure proper configuration by performing a TO Config check, which verifies flap settings, parking brake, spoilers, and trim within the green band on the EICAS.

***

### FMS is refusing Waypoint/SID/STAR <a href="#fms-is-refusing-waypoint-sid-star" id="fms-is-refusing-waypoint-sid-star"></a>

The aircraft uses a custom FMS (Honeywell-style MCDU), not the default MSFS flight plan. See the [MCDU Guide](/e-jet-series/mcdu-guide/basics) for RTE, SID/STAR, and waypoint entry. Navdata must match the cycle in the FMS ([Navdata Updater](broken://pages/RB3qdkkr2I37RuCdYo27)). Invalid idents still show **NOT IN DATABASE**.

***

### Import Flightplans (i.e. from Simbrief) <a href="#import-flightplans-i-e-from-simbrief" id="import-flightplans-i-e-from-simbrief"></a>

Please follow our Procedure Guide.

***

### PFD/MFD lags <a href="#pfd-mfd-lags" id="pfd-mfd-lags"></a>

Please apply the recommended settings described here.

***

### How to exit keyboard entry in FMS <a href="#how-to-exit-keyboard-entry-in-fms" id="how-to-exit-keyboard-entry-in-fms"></a>

Enable **MCDU Keyboard Entry** on EFB → Settings → **Aircraft**, then **click** the MCDU to capture the keyboard (green scratchpad border). **Tab** releases it. Moving the cursor away is not required.

Shortcuts: [MCDU Basics](/e-jet-series/mcdu-guide/basics#keyboard-entry).

***

### Throttle doesn't work <a href="#throttle-doesn-t-work" id="throttle-doesn-t-work"></a>

Please read the throttle calibration section in First Steps.

***

### Reverse without axis <a href="#reverse-without-axis" id="reverse-without-axis"></a>

If you have no axis to assign to throttle reverse mode you have to map your button to TOGGLE THROTTLE REVERSE THRUST. If you then press the button your throttle axis will switch to reverse. If you advance it, reverse thrust will increase. Put it back to idle and then press your button again to leave reverser mode.

Make sure that REV on AXIS is not activated in the EFB throttle configuration.

***

### Where can I download free liveries? <a href="#where-can-i-download-free-liveries" id="where-can-i-download-free-liveries"></a>

There are several liveries at [flightsim.to](https://flightsim.to/c/liveries/flightsim-studio-e-jets-175/) available for free.

***

### Are there custom simbrief profiles available?

Yes, please get them here:

***

### Is there a GSX configuration available? <a href="#is-there-a-gsx-configuration-available" id="is-there-a-gsx-configuration-available"></a>

Yes, head over here:

***

### Is there a paintkit available? <a href="#is-there-a-paintkit-available" id="is-there-a-paintkit-available"></a>

For the E170 and E190/195 we got an official paintkit including layered tifs and a blender 3D file for a quick preview.

[DOWNLOAD E170 PaintKit](https://www.dropbox.com/s/i72swfd7wmoyo0e/PaintKit%20E170%20\(version%200.9.10%2B\).zip?dl=0)

[DOWNLOAD E19X PaintKit](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kj1bviwgur6lugpjlyg09/PaintKit-E19X.zip?rlkey=8wwt4dandg5gpdszjkcm2wfam\&dl=0)

{% hint style="info" %}
The E175 still uses some kind of legacy object structure which will be changed some day and therefore no official paintkit is available yet.
{% endhint %}


# How To Update

Before updating or reinstalling the E-Jets, we strongly recommend that you delete all E-Jets files - including those that remain after a standard uninstallation. This refers to the so-called work folder, which is stored under your computer user directory. This folder acts as a cache for the aircraft. With too many updates, this cache can easily get messed up and lead to strange problems after an update.

To make this process as easy as possible for you, we have created a script that takes care of this for you. Download, exctract wherever you like and simply run it. It will list all found work folders, which can then be deleted with your confirmation.

{% file src="/files/7LY88HJd9nrL9MKMQvhF" %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Don't worry, saved settings of the EFB, such as Simbrief username or throttle configuration, etc., will remain intact. You won't need to reconfigure all your settings.
{% endhint %}

## Update Flow

1. Uninstall our aircraft entirely.
2. Run the batch script or follow manual deletion.
3. Start MSFS and load a flight in any other aircraft.
4. Close MSFS.
5. Install our aircraft again.

<details>

<summary>Manual Deletion</summary>

If you prefer not to run the script and would rather delete the folders manually, you can find them here:

`%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages`

or

`%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages`

Delete all folders starting with `fss-aircraft-e`.

# Things to know

We’re currently working on a version with a completely custom-built Flight Management System. This is a complex project, and we have a team of around 200 testers who review our progress almost every week.

#### Installation

If you’d like a behind-the-scenes look, you can switch to the **Experimental branch**.

**Aerosoft One**

1. Go to the product library and select the E-Jets.
2. Uninstall the aircraft if you already have it installed.
3. The experimental installation is in light grey at the bottom.

<figure><img src="https://2148350057-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4zuBab090JlaOR4WgDz8%2Fuploads%2FX40BLYujaBnY70cXGNt6%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6b3a8c79-2491-4f10-9002-3842248d1850" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Contrail**

1. Go to the respective product page in the Contrail App.
2. Uninstall the aircraft if you already have it installed.
3. Then you will see two installation options: Stable and Experimental.

<figure><img src="https://2148350057-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4zuBab090JlaOR4WgDz8%2Fuploads%2Fq00YOK7jinTVx58EWptV%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f300c74f-691a-49e0-afb1-69d3b9ff4cdd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### What is Experimental?

Experimental is a snapshot of our internal test build. It’s only updated occasionally when we reach major milestones. Smaller changes are tested exclusively by our beta team.

#### What’s included in Experimental?

The new custom FMS is already integrated. This brings improved LNAV and VNAV (FLCH / PATH / ASEL / ALT / GP), go-around, back course, CAT II / autoland FMA status, overspeed protection, and PFD PLI. Windshear guidance is not included.

#### What should I expect?

This version is **buggy**. Many things may not work as you’re used to, and crashes can happen.

#### Where can I report bugs?

Nowhere. We have a dedicated internal test team that reports bugs based on our own requirements. No action is needed from you.

#### Where can I get support?

There is no support for this version. It’s strictly experimental, and support will only be available once version 1.0 is released.

#### How do I switch back to the Stable version?

Simply uninstall the E-Jets and select the **Stable branch** during reinstallation.


# Checklist

| Localizer without vertical guidance | Localizer       | Magenta      | MDA rounded up to nearest 100 ft | NAV          |

**RNAV Notes**

* Use RNAV and VOR profile for RNAV-RNP, RNAV-GPS, RNAV/FMS Visual, and VOR approaches.
* VOR approaches are treated like an RNAV approach (flown in magenta needles, armed with APP). Have the VOR frequency and course set up in preview (cyan needles) as backup during the approach.
* RNAV/GPS with vertical guidance captures **GP** (glide path). FMA armed status shows **L/VNAV** or **LPV** depending on the procedure.
* After GP or GS is captured, set ALTSEL to the missed-approach altitude. ALTSEL is ignored during GS and GP.

**ILS / CAT II Notes**

* CAT I: minimums = BARO. Disconnect AP by 200 ft AGL.
* CAT II: both PFDs on RA minimums (same value), both NAV receivers on the ILS, dual valid NAV. FMA shows **APPR 2**.
* Back-course: CRS = **front course**. Use NAV or APP. GS is inhibited. See FGCS Lateral Modes.

**Localizer Notes**

* Localizer approaches are flown similar to an RNAV approach.
* Localizer approach minimums: take the published minimum and round it up to the nearest hundred feet.

## Procedure Guide

{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note**

Different procedures are used depending on the operator. The following explanations are therefore only exemplary.
{% endhint %}

#### Flight Planning <a href="#flight-planning" id="flight-planning"></a>

For a step-by-step MCDU screenshot walkthrough (route, SID/STAR, PERF INIT, takeoff speeds), see Preflight Setup (Quick Guide).

* Performance planning via [Simbrief](https://www.simbrief.com/home/) is recommended to use the default E170 or E175 profile. The weights have been adapted to these profiles.
* Direct route import into the MCDU is possible via 2 ways:

**World Map menu**

1. Export your flightplan as msfs flightplan file (.FLT) (i.e. Simbrief, SimtoolkitPro, etc.).
2. In MSFS World Map menu import your flightplan file (LOAD/SAVE->LOAD FROM THIS PC).
3. The route will automatically be added to the E-Jets MCDU upon flight initialization.

**SimBrief MCDU import**

Store your SimBrief username in **NAV → DATALINK → ADDRESS**, then use **SEND** on **RTE** (route) and **SEND REQST** on **PERF INIT** (performance). Match origin, destination, and **FLIGHT ID** to your OFP. SID, STAR, and runway are not imported — select them on the MCDU.

Full procedure: SimBrief Import.

We also have a video guide available:

#### Power Up <a href="#power-up" id="power-up"></a>

1. **BATTERIES ............................................... ON**
2. **GPU AVAIL ................................................. IN**
3. **APU .................................... ON, then START**
4. **NAV LIGHT ............................................... ON**
5. **LOGO LIGHT ......................... AS REQUIRED**
6. **EMER LIGHT ..................................... ARMED**

#### **Pushback** <a href="#pushback" id="pushback"></a>

* **Default MSFS Option:** works fine
* [**Toolbar Pushback**](https://de.flightsim.to/file/15033/toolbar-pushback)**:** works fine
* [**GSX Pro**](https://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_gsxpro.html)**:** works but requires custom profile.

#### Startup <a href="#startup" id="startup"></a>

* To avoid power interruptions it is recommended to wait 30 s after the %N2 stabilizes before shutting the APU down or GPU disconnection, or to use the Electrical Synoptic Page to follow the power transfer.

2. **ELEC PUMP A............................................ ON**
3. **TAXI LIGHTS ............................................. ON**
4. **FLAPS ....................................................... SET**

#### Taxi <a href="#taxi" id="taxi"></a>

* The E-Jets tend to start rolling on idle thrust when releasing parking brake. Increased weight reduces that effect.
* In order to allow thermal stabilization of the engines, operate them at or near IDLE for at least 2 minutes before selecting high trust settings. Taxi time at or near IDLE can be included in the warm up period.
* Single Engine Taxi is allowed.
* **VTAXI (Dry Straight):** 30 kt
* **VTAXI (Dry Turn):** 10 kt
* **VTAXI (Wet Straight):** 10 kt
* **VTAXI (Wet Turn):** 5 kt

{% hint style="info" %}
During initial roll it might be neccessary to counteract engine thrust pitch up moment by some nose down input on elevator to increase nose wheel steering effectiveness.
{% endhint %}

#### Before Takeoff <a href="#before-takeoff" id="before-takeoff"></a>

* T/O config button must be pressed until you hear an aural feedback to check aircraft configuration.
* TOGA Button on Throttle lever must be pressed before takeoff by latest to set the autoflight system into takeoff mode. Most operators do that prior startup.

#### Takeoff <a href="#takeoff" id="takeoff"></a>

* Ensure takeoff mode has been armed (FMAs on PFD).
* Arm Autothrottle by pressing the corresponding button on glareshield panel.
* Adjust thrust to 40% N1. When engines stabilize at 40% N1, advance thrust levers to TO/GA detent. Autothrottle will take over at 50% N1.
* Minimum airspeed at positive rate: V2 + 10

#### Climb <a href="#climb" id="climb"></a>

* Arm **VNAV** on the ground (or after takeoff). Magenta **FLCH** captures above the VNAV CAP AFE (default 800 ft).
* Set ALTSEL to the cleared altitude. VNAV will not climb through ALTSEL.
* If VNAV is not used, fly green **FLCH**. Target speed: 250 - 270 kt IAS.

#### Enroute <a href="#enroute" id="enroute"></a>

* Autothrottle will disconnect if throttles are being used by user input. Exception: Airspeed is less than 60 kts.

#### Descent <a href="#descent" id="descent"></a>

* Set ALTSEL to the cleared altitude **before** TOD. One minute before TOD, **VTA** is displayed.
* With VNAV and LNAV active, magenta **PTH** captures the descent path. Speed from FMS or MAN.
* If ALTSEL is not wound down, the airplane stays in VALT through TOD.
* For a non-precision approach, press **APP** to arm **GP**, then set missed-approach altitude in ALTSEL after GP is captured — same flow as ILS GS.
* If VNAV is not used, fly FPA and plan to the according values. Add additional distance for speed reduction if necessary.

*Required distance = (Current Altitude - Target altitude) / Slope equivalent*

* **3 degree slope:** 320ft per nm
  * Example: *(30.000ft - 3.000ft) / 320ft/nm = 84nm*
* **3.5 degree slope:** 375ft per nm
  * Example: *(30.000ft - 3.000ft) / 375ft/nm = 72nm*
* **4.0 degree slope:** 425ft per nm
  * Example: *(30.000ft - 3.000ft) / 425ft/nm = 64nm*

#### Approach <a href="#approach" id="approach"></a>

**ILS Auto Tune**

Since v0.9.9 we implemented the Auto Tune feature. It will automatically set up the ILS frequency and course if

* ILS approach is selected in MCDU and
* Aircraft is within 150nm from destination

If you change the approach type in MCDU while autotune is active:

* ILS approach but different runway: frequency and course will get updated automatically
* other than ILS approach: autotune gets deactivated

If ILS frequency or course gets overwritten by user input autotune gets disconnected.

You can toggle it on/off in any MCDU NAV page:

* Click on MCDU radio button
* Click on LSK next to any standby frequency to enter NAV page
* Toggle Auto Tune mode via LSK 5R

**ILS Auto Preview**

Since v0.9.9 we implemented the Auto Preview feature. When in FMS source mode, PREV will automatically be activated and set to NAV1/2 (depending on AP source) with ILS frequency and course if

* ILS approach is selected in MCDU and
* Aircraft is within 150nm from destination

When in FMS source mode and auto tune is active it will automatically change nav source to V/L (NAV1 or 2) when

* LOC is armed and
* Localizer needle starts to move

{% hint style="info" %}
You can arm LOC and GS by pressing APP when FMS source is still active and LOC1/2 is visible in preview. Once the auto tuning mode switches the nav source to V/L it will start to capture the LOC (and GS later on).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
When in FMS source mode and APP is pressed without PREV active on NAV1/2 nothing will happen.
{% endhint %}

**ILS Manual Intercept**

* Approach the localizer with a 30 degree intercept in **HDG**.
* Once the localizer needle on the PFD starts moving, press **APP** on the glareshield (or use Auto Tune / Preview as above).

**RNAV / LPV / LNAV-VNAV**

* FMS NAV source, approach in the flight plan, **LNAV** and **VNAV** active.
* Press **APP** to arm **GP** (within 30 NM of destination, non-localizer approach, LOC preview off).
* Do not use green APP/LOC for these approaches.

**CAT II**

* RA minimums on both PFDs, both NAVs on the ILS, AP and YD on.
* Confirm white **APPR 2** before GS capture.

**Go-around**

* Press **TOGA**. Vertical **GA** and lateral **TRACK** engage. Autothrottle commands go-around thrust.

#### Landing <a href="#landing" id="landing"></a>

* As in the real aircraft the Speed Retard Mode will activate 30ft above ground. However the speed reduction is quite slow resulting in a long flare. Best practice for landing:
  * At MA/DA disconnect AT
  * At 50 ft raise the nose slightly
  * At 30 ft reduce throttle to idle and raise the nose to make the end of the runway not move up or down (usually 6-7 degrees nose up pitch)
  * When nose gear is on ground, apply reverse thrust
  * At 80 kts set reverse idle
  * At 60 kts reverse is stowed


# Preflight Setup (Quick Guide)

Step-by-step MCDU preflight from **RADIO** through a complete route, departure and arrival procedures, performance initialization, and takeoff speeds.

Example route: **EGLC/27** N0317F210 ODUK1A ODUKU M84 CLN P44 RATLO M197 REDFA REDF1A **EHAM/18R** (SimBrief / datalink import).

{% hint style="info" %}
Complete **NAV IDENT** once before using **RTE**, **FPL**, or **PERF** (verify the AIRAC cycle; update via [Navdata Updater](https://docs.flightsim-studio.com/e-jet-series/special-features/electronic-flight-bag/navdata-updater) if needed). Store your SimBrief username before route import. Keep the **EFB manifest** open for ZFW, fuel, **TO CG**, and V-speeds.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
On **PERF INIT 3/3**, you must press **CONFIRM INIT>** before the FMS calculates the vertical profile (TOC/TOD) and VNAV data.

  * Takeoff (TO-x)
    * Thrust used for a normal takeoff.
  * Maximum Takeoff Reserve
    * Whenever ATTCS is triggered, TO-x RSV automatically becomes the maximum N1, as long as the thrust levers are set to TO/GA.
  * Go-Around (GA)
    * Activated in flight whenever the landing gear and flaps are down. GA mode can also be set from CRZ, CON, or CLB by pressing TOGA.
  * Go-Around Reserve (GA-RSV)
    * Highest engine thrust possible.
  * Maximum Continuous Rating (CON)
    * Used in emergency situations where thrust higher than usual is required.
  * Maximum Climb Rating (CLB-1, CLB-2)
    * Whenever the selected takeoff thrust is lower than CLB-1 the CLB-2 modes becomes the default.
    * Manual switching between the climb modes is possible in flight on the MCDU-TRS page.
  * Maximum Cruise Rating (CRZ)
    * Maximum N1 that can be used for a normal cruise flight.
    * Automatically selected when level at the altitude set on the altitude pre-selector for 90 seconds and airspeed is within 5kts from the pre-selected airspeed.
  * IDLE
    * IDLE modes are automatically adjusted by the FADEC in order to maintain the minimum thrust necessary to provide the required bleed pressure to the airplane.

**ENG NO TAKEOFF DATA**

Caution on the ground when takeoff data is incomplete or inconsistent: V-speeds, flap setting, thrust rating, temperature, flex data, or FADEC/MCDU dataset agreement. Suppressed during takeoff (80 kt to 400 ft AGL) and for 120 s after landing. Also suppressed when flaps are up.

**ENG REF A-I DISAG**

Caution when REF A/I in the T/O DATASET MENU does not match the overhead ice protection configuration (OFF, ENG, or ALL) while below 1,700 ft RA and not in landing mode. Clears above 1,700 ft RA or 120 s after takeoff.

**ENG REF ECS DISAG**

Caution when REF ECS in the MCDU T/O DATASET MENU (TRS → TO DATASET) does not match the actual bleed configuration used for FADEC takeoff N1. The MCDU setting is ON or OFF; the aircraft is treated as ECS ON only when both packs are on, both engine bleeds are open, no APU bleed is supplying the manifold, and Pack 1 is not held off by the emergency ram air valve built-in test. Active below 1,700 ft radio altitude, not in landing mode, with both engines running. Clears when the mismatch ends or 120 s after takeoff.

First flight of the day (ERAV BIT): on the first engine start of each UTC flight day the emergency ram air valve runs a \~90 s built-in test and holds Pack 1 off. With REF ECS ON, this caution can appear until the test completes. Spawn in turnaround mode in EFB Settings → Aircraft skips the ERAV BIT on that spawn.

Engines on + APU bleed on: with both engines running and APU bleed open, bleed air comes from the APU (FADEC ECS OFF) even if packs stay on. REF ECS ON then disagrees. Close APU bleed or set REF ECS OFF. REF ECS does not command the packs; it is the takeoff N1 assumption. See AIR COND / PNEUMATIC and SYSTEMS/ECS (MFD).

### STEERING HANDWHEEL

Nosewheel steering is a custom physics model (hydraulic torque, scrub, speed fade). Authority depends on the EFB setting **Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis** ([EFB Settings](/e-jet-series/special-features/electronic-flight-bag/settings)).

#### STEERING HANDLE

* Rotating the handwheel commands tiller steering when **Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis** is **on**. Bind a tiller / tiller axis to the aircraft steering handle.
* <mark style="color:red;">Push-down to engage / release for pedal-only mode is not simulated as a discrete lock. The tiller-in-use indication follows tiller axis movement.</mark>

#### NOSEWHEEL STEERING

NWS is active with **nose weight-on-wheels** and hydraulic pressure on **system 1** (backup **system 3**).

| EFB **Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis** | Behaviour                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Off** (default)                          | Rudder pedals steer through a reduced “taxi tiller” path (\~35° E170/E175, \~32° E190/E195), with stronger centering near idle stick.                |
| **On**                                     | Pedals command about **±7°**. The tiller has full authority (\~**75°** E170/E175, \~**64°** E190/E195) at 0 kt and fades to zero by about **60 kt**. |

Rate also reduces with groundspeed. Pedal input is compensated so MSFS rudder coupling does not double-steer.

{% hint style="info" %}
Map a dedicated tiller axis if you enable realistic tiller. Otherwise leave the option **off** and taxi with pedals.

# Flight Director (FD)

### PRESENTATION <a href="#flight-director-presentation" id="flight-director-presentation"></a>

A magenta diamond displayed on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) represents the FD.

Pressing the FD button on the display control panel removes the flight director presentation on the PFD under the following conditions:

* **AP engaged:** the Flight Director presentation can be removed by pressing the FD button on the non-coupled display control panel side. On the coupled side it is not possible to remove the FD from the PFD.
* **AP disengaged:** the Flight Director presentation can be removed from both PFD’s by pressing the FD button on the respective display control panel.

### MODES ACTIVATION <a href="#toc118276148" id="toc118276148"></a>

The FD automatically turns on under the following conditions:

* TO/GA button actuation or;
* Manual selection of any vertical or lateral mode or;
* Autopilot engagement or;
* Windshear detection.

Pressing the FD button on the coupled side with AP disengaged, the Flight Director Modes are disengaged (FD cue is removed from both PFDs, FD modes are removed from both FMAs and AT mode changes to SPDt tracking the airspeed target).

To turn off the flight director, press the FPA button on the guidance panel when the active vertical mode is FPA.

If any other vertical mode is active, press FPA button once to activate the FPA mode and then press it again to turn off the Flight Director.


# Autopilot (AP)

### ENGAGEMENT <a href="#toc118276151" id="toc118276151"></a>

Autopilot engagement is inhibited on the ground.

In flight the autopilot is engaged pushing the AP button on the guidance panel. The AP engagement is verified on the FMA on both PFD’s.

With the confirmation of the AP label on the FMA the autopilot is controlling the airplane pitch, roll and yaw according to the flight director selections.

### DISENGAGEMENT <a href="#toc118276152" id="toc118276152"></a>

**NORMAL DISENGAGEMENT**

The autopilot is normally disengaged by pressing the quick disconnect PB on either control wheel.

Pressing the button once:

* Disengages the autopilot;
* Triggers the aural warning “AUTOPILOT”;
* The FMA “AP” annunciation blinks in red.

Pressing the button the second time cancels the aural warning and the FMA annunciation.

The autopilot may be momentarily overridden by pressing the TCS button on the control wheel. Releasing the TCS, the autopilot resumes airplane control.

**NON-NORMAL DISENGAGEMENT**

The autopilot also disengages if one of the following conditions occurs:

* AP button is pressed on the guidance panel;
* Either manual pitch trim switch is actuated;
* Either stick shaker is activated.
* Windshear escape guidance is activated.

**ABNORMAL DISENGAGEMENT**

<mark style="color:red;">The following events cause an autopilot disconnect and EICAS message:</mark>

* <mark style="color:red;">Reversion of the fly-by-wire system to direct mode.</mark>
* <mark style="color:red;">Either the aileron or elevator control system is disconnected.</mark>
* <mark style="color:red;">A pilot input contrary to the autopilot is made on the controls with a long time light force or a short time stronger force.</mark>
* <mark style="color:red;">Internal monitor failure.</mark>

After Non-Normal or Abnormal Disengagement, pressing either AP disconnect button once cancels the flashing “AP” on the FMA and silences the aural alarm.

<mark style="color:red;">**NOTE:**</mark> <mark style="color:red;"></mark><mark style="color:red;">AP disengagement by application of force on control column, through the forward and after movement, and control wheel, lateral movement, is indicated in red on FMA. The AP disengagement by application of force only on control wheel may be indicated in red on FMA and AP FAIL message may be displayed on the EICAS.</mark>


# Yaw Damper (YD)

The yaw damper is automatically engaged after power-up of either hydraulic system 1 or 3. The yaw damper is automatically disengaged after shutdown of both hydraulic system 1 and 3. The yaw damper may also be disengaged/engaged by pressing the YD button on the AFCS guidance control panel.


# AFCS Indications on PFD

### FLIGHT MODE ANNUNCIATIONS (FMA) <a href="#flight-mode-annunciations-fma" id="flight-mode-annunciations-fma"></a>

The Flight Mode Annunciation display, also referred as FMA, is located on the top of the PFD and it displays annunciations for autothrottle, autopilot, approach status, lateral and vertical modes.

The FMA color code for normal operation is as follows:

* Magenta: FMS commanded active/engaged mode.
* Green: Non-FMS commanded active/engaged mode.
* White: Armed mode.
* Amber: Alert condition.
* Red: Abnormal condition.

### APPROACH STATUS ANNUNCIATIONS <a href="#toc118276156" id="toc118276156"></a>

The Approach Status Annunciations are displayed at the top of the FMA upon pressing the APP button on the guidance panel.

The annunciator on the left side is either the armed status (white) or a discrepancy (amber) and on the right side is the current engaged status (green).

The BARO/RA window on the PFD 1 and on the PFD 2 must be on the same selection (BARO-BARO or RA-RA). If there is a discrepancy the BARO/RA window on the side selected to RA will flash amber.

The system will not indicate discrepancy in selected values between PFD 1 and PFD 2.

The terminology used for the system capability levels are:

* APPROACH 2 (APPR 2) – ILS CAT II capable.
* APPROACH 1 (APPR 1) – ILS CAT I capable.

# FGCS Lateral Modes

The FGCS pilot selectable lateral navigation modes are:

* Roll Hold (ROLL).
* Heading Select (HDG).
* Lateral Navigation (LNAV).
* Localizer (LOC).
* Back-course (BC).

Pilot non-selectable mode is:

* Track Hold (TRACK).

### ROLL HOLD (ROLL)

This is the basic lateral mode and does not provide any airplane guidance.

Depending on the airplane bank angle at the moment of ROLL activation, the autopilot will maintain the following bank angles until another lateral mode is selected:

* Bank angle at 6° or below: AP levels the wings.
* Bank angle above 6° and below 35°: AP holds present bank angle.
* Bank angle at 35° or above: AP maintains bank angle at 35°.

#### ROLL MODE ACTIVATION

The ROLL Mode is activated under any of the following conditions:

* Pressing TOGA button while on the ground and IAS is below 100 kt;
* There is no lateral mode active and a vertical mode is selected;
* Deselecting an active lateral mode;
* <mark style="color:red;">COURSE TO INTERCEPT on the FMS is activated.</mark>

#### ROLL MODE DE-ACTIVATION

The ROLL Mode is de-activated when another lateral mode becomes active.

### HEADING SELECT (HDG)

This mode provides airplane lateral guidance through the HDG SEL knob.

Pressing the center of the HDG selector knob synchronizes the heading bug to the current heading.

The FD follows the selected heading <mark style="color:red;">and respects the direction in which the turn on the HDG SEL knob was commanded, regardless if the turn being commanded is greater than 180°.</mark>

#### HDG MODE ACTIVATION

HDG button is pressed on the Guidance Panel.

#### HDG MODE DE-ACTIVATION

* HDG button is pressed on the Guidance Panel.
* When another lateral mode becomes active.

### LATERAL NAVIGATION (LNAV)

The LNAV engages when:

* LNAV mode is armed, LNAV will automatically engage when passing through 200 ft during a climb.
* The airplane is above 200 ft and the NAV button is pressed.

The FMS becomes the source for lateral navigation providing guidance through the Flight Director.

### LOCALIZER (LOC)

The LOC mode is selected via the **APP** (or **NAV**) button on the GP.

The FD automatically manages **LOC** and **Back-Course** from localizer frequency, selected course, PFD information, and airplane position.

The FD is capable of intercepting the LOC when there is no GS signal. Other vertical navigation modes such as FPA or VS can be used for vertical navigation.

The FD opens the bank angle command limit to 35° during Localizer capture.

### BACK-COURSE (BC)

The FGCS intercepts, captures, and tracks the back-course localizer. Glideslope capture is inhibited on a BC approach.

**SETUP**

1. Set SRC to the coupled side.
2. Tune the coupled-side NAV receiver to the localizer frequency.
3. Select LOC as NAV source (or use preview with FMS still selected — capture will switch source).
4. Set CRS to the **front course**.
5. Intercept in **HDG**.
6. Press **NAV** or **APP** to arm **BC**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If heading is less than 100° off the front course, **LOC** may arm first. The armed mode updates to **BC** once heading is more than 100° off the front course. CDI sensing is reversed automatically.
{% endhint %}

**BC ACTIVATION**

* Armed BC, localizer deviation coming alive (within about 0.9 full-scale).

**BC DE-ACTIVATION**

* APP or NAV pressed again.
* Another NAV source selected.
* HDG selected.
* Go-around selected.
* SRC coupled to the opposite PFD.

### TRACK HOLD (TRACK)

The track select mode is used to intercept and maintain an inertial derived airplane track from the IRS. This mode is used for Takeoff and Go-Around.

#### TAKEOFF

The automatic transition from ROLL to TRACK during takeoff occurs when:

* IAS is greater than 100 kt and;
* Bank angle is at 3° or below for more than 10 s.

#### GO AROUND

**TRACK ACTIVATION**

* TOGA button is pressed for go-around.

**TRACK DE-ACTIVATION**

* Another lateral mode is selected.

Canceling the vertical mode of GA does not disengage the TRACK lateral mode.


# FGCS Vertical Modes

### FLIGHT PATH ANGLE (FPA)

* The FPA is the basic vertical mode (except for the TO).
* The FPA can be used for vertical navigation by selecting a higher or lower altitude on the ALTSEL and then pressing the FPA button.
* The flight path reference line (FPR) is displayed when the FPA is active. Pressing the FPR button in the display controller panel displays the FPR line, regardless of vertical mode active.
* Flight path angle (± 9.9°) is selected in the FPA SEL selector knob on the guidance panel.

**FPA ACTIVATION**

* When the autopilot is engaged and no FD mode is active;
* Pressing the FPA button on the guidance panel.
* A lateral mode is activated and there is no vertical mode active.
* Deselecting the current vertical mode.

### TAKEOFF (TO)

The takeoff mode is represented by crossbars and is used during the takeoff phase to maintain a pitch attitude based on flap selection, airplane weight and V2 speed.

<figure><img src="https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1670233914325.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**TO MODE ACTIVATION**

* TOGA button is pressed on ground.

**TO MODE DE-ACTIVATION**

* When another vertical mode is selected.

**TO PITCH ANGLE CALCULATION**

To calculate the TO pitch angle the FMS uses the actual airplane weight and the following information inserted in the MCDU TAKEOFF page:

<figure><img src="https://cdn.document360.io/417c2d4d-fdb8-4d4d-b11d-011fe445d776/Images/Documentation/image-1670233925023.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

TO pitch will be dashed if necessary information is not inserted.

**TO PITCH ANGLE LOGIC**

The system will guide the Pitch initially to the calculated angle. When airborne and IAS is greater than speed target, the guidance will be as follows:

* All engines operating: V2 + 10 kt.
* One engine inoperative:
  * Engine failure below V2: guides V2.
  * Engine failure between V2 and V2 + 10 kt: guides present speed.
  * Engine failure above V2 + 10 kt: guides V2 + 10 kt.

In TO mode the pitch is limited to a minimum of 8° and a maximum of 18°. The maximum speed target is Vfe - 5 kt and minimum speed target is Vshaker + 10 kt for all engines operating. For one engine inoperative the minimum speed target is Vshaker + 3 kt.

### ALTITUDE SELECT (ASEL)

The altitude select mode captures and levels off at the selected altitude. A green ASEL is displayed on the FMA while altitude select mode captures the pre-selected altitude, followed by a green ALT display when level off at the selected altitude.

{% hint style="info" %}
Altitude select is automatically armed whenever a vertical FD mode is used to fly towards the desired altitude.
{% endhint %}

### FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE (FLCH)

FLCH provides commands to Climb or Descend to the altitude selected (ALTSEL) according to the speed selected.

During FLCH the speed selected will be controlled via pitch changes through elevator inputs, and the FMA will show SPDE.

**FLCH ACTIVATION**

* Pressing the FLCH button.

**FLCH DE-ACTIVATION**

* Pressing the FLCH button.
* When another vertical mode is selected.

**FLCH LOGIC**

The FLCH mode can be FMS (magenta **FLCH**) or non-FMS (green **FLCH**).

* Green FLCH is selected with the **FLCH** button on the Guidance Panel. Speed is controlled by pitch (FMA shows **SPDE**).
* Magenta FLCH (**VFLCH**) is the VNAV equivalent. It is commanded by the FMS when VNAV is active in climb or when a climb is resumed from a constraint. Speed comes from the FMS speed schedule, or from the Speed Selector when it is set to **MAN**.
* During a FLCH descent, selecting an altitude above the current airplane altitude will command the airplane to climb. The airplane will not reach the altitude selected if AT is disengaged and sufficient thrust to climb is not available.
* During a climb, selecting an altitude below the current airplane altitude will command the airplane to descend. The rate of descent is a result of the amount of engine thrust being used.

**TRANSITION FROM MACH / IAS**

The selected speed is displayed in the box on the top of the speed tape. When the altitude is approximately 29000 ft the display switches from IAS to Mach readout during climb and from Mach to IAS readout during descent.

### ALTITUDE HOLD (ALT)

The ALT mode indication on the FMA indicates the altitude hold mode and the altitude selected is being maintained.

**ALT MODE DISENGAGEMENT**

The ALT mode can be disengaged by selecting a different altitude via ALTSEL knob and activating a new vertical mode.

This logic is valid for all vertical modes except for Glide Slope (GS) and GP. Switching from ALT mode to GS or GP mode occurs without change in ALT SEL selection.

**ALTITUDE HOLD BUTTON (ALT)**

Pressing the ALT button on the GP engages the altitude hold mode. The altitude hold mode maintains the altitude displayed on the Altimeter at the moment the ALT button is pressed.

### VERTICAL SPEED (VS)

* The VS mode maintains a vertical speed rate. The VS mode is activated by pressing the VS button on the GP. Vertical speed is selected rotating the vertical speed thumbwheel on the GP.
* The vertical speed command range goes from -8000 ft/min to +6000 ft/min.
* The increments of the Vertical Speed target value are: 50 ft/min (below 1000 ft) and 100 ft/min (above 1000 ft).

### GLIDE SLOPE (GS)

The GS approach mode allows the ILS approach mode functions. The GS mode arms when the APP button is pressed and activates when the glide slope is captured.

### GO-AROUND (GA)

Go-around is a non-selectable vertical mode. Pressing **TOGA** in the air engages **GA** on the FMA (green). Lateral mode automatically goes to **TRACK**.

**GA ACTIVATION**

* TOGA is pressed while airborne.
* Radio altitude below 2,500 ft AGL (or baro altitude below 17,000 ft if radio altitude is invalid).
* Also used for a bounced landing / touch-and-go: TOGA pressed with weight on wheels for less than 5 seconds after being airborne this flight.

**GA GUIDANCE**

* Initial pitch is based on the takeoff pitch schedule (same source as TO), limited between approximately 7° and 18°.
* As airspeed approaches the go-around target, guidance blends to speed-on-elevator (**SPDE**).
* Target speed is approximately stall-reference + 20 kt, limited between stick-shaker + 10 kt and Vfe − 5 kt.
* Autothrottle commands go-around / MAX rated thrust.

**GA DE-ACTIVATION**

* Another vertical mode is selected (FPA, FLCH, VS, ALT, VNAV, etc.).
* Cancelling the vertical GA mode does **not** drop lateral **TRACK**. Select HDG, LNAV, or LOC as required.

### WINDSHEAR (WSHR)

{% hint style="info" %}
This mode is not simulated.
{% endhint %}

### VERTICAL NAVIGATION (VNAV)

{% hint style="info" %}
VNAV requires FMS as the selected NAV source. Magenta FMA annunciators indicate FMS vertical modes.
{% endhint %}

VNAV provides FMS-commanded vertical guidance along the flight plan: climb (VFLCH), path descent (VPTH / **PTH**), altitude capture (VASEL / magenta **ASEL**), altitude hold (VALT / magenta **ALT**), and glide path (**GP**) for non-precision approaches.

**VNAV ACTIVATION**

* On ground: press **VNAV** on the Guidance Panel to arm magenta **FLCH**. VNAV captures after takeoff above the VNAV capture altitude (default 800 ft AFE, as set on DEPARTURE LIMIT).
* In flight, with FMS NAV source selected: press **VNAV**. The armed/active submode depends on the flight phase and the altitude error to the FMS target:
  * Within 25 ft of the FMS target → magenta **ALT**.
  * Descent in cruise / descent / approach with LNAV active → magenta **PTH** is armed.
  * Otherwise → magenta **FLCH**.
* VNAV will not remain active if the NAV source is not FMS. It reverts to green **FPA**.

**VNAV SUBMODES (FMA, magenta)**

| FMA      | Mode       | Function                                                                                                                                                                           |
| -------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **FLCH** | VFLCH      | FMS flight level change. Pitch controls FMS or MAN speed. Altitude target is the FMS constraint, limited by ALTSEL when ALTSEL lies between present altitude and the FMS altitude. |
| **PTH**  | VPTH       | Geometric path descent. Used from TOD to the next constraint / BOD. Vertical deviation is shown when FMS is the NAV source.                                                        |
| **ASEL** | VASEL      | Captures the FMS (or ALTSEL-limited) altitude. Automatically follows VFLCH or VPTH. Then transitions to VALT.                                                                      |
| **ALT**  | VALT       | Holds the captured FMS altitude.                                                                                                                                                   |
| **GP**   | Glide path | Non-precision final approach path. ALTSEL is ignored so missed-approach altitude can be set, same procedure as an ILS.                                                             |

**PATH vs FLCH**

* Climb / go-around / departure: VNAV uses **FLCH**. A climb of more than 200 ft from a constraint resumes VFLCH.
* Cruise / descent / approach: VNAV captures **PTH** when the aircraft is in the path-capture window. Level-off uses VASEL → VALT.

**VNAV DE-ACTIVATION**

* Press **VNAV** again.
* Select another vertical mode (FPA, VS, green FLCH, GS, GA).
* Change NAV source away from FMS.

**ALTSEL INTERACTION**

* VNAV respects the altitude preselector except in **GP** (and GS). Set ALTSEL to the next cleared altitude during climb/descent.
* Switching from VALT to GS or GP does not require changing ALTSEL — set missed-approach altitude after GP/GS is captured.

### OVERSPEED PROTECTION (OVSP)

{% hint style="info" %}
OVSP is automatic. It is not selected on the Guidance Panel.
{% endhint %}

Overspeed protection (**OVSP** on the FMA) reduces the chance of staying above Vmo/Mmo (barber pole).

**OVSP ACTIVATION**

* Airplane airborne, flight director available.
* IAS more than approximately 1 kt above the overspeed threshold.
* Can override ASEL, ALT, TO, FLCH, VS, FPA, VNAV submodes, GS, GA, and flare.

**OVSP GUIDANCE**

* Pitch commands a speed slightly below the overspeed threshold (about 5 kt below Vmo/Mmo) using speed-on-elevator.
* When IAS is more than 5 kt below the overspeed threshold, OVSP deactivates and the previous vertical mode is restored.


# Steep Approach Mode

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available in the E190/195.
{% endhint %}

The E190 and E195 are equipped with a special mode to perform steep approaches. This mode will increase the amount of drag to keep the approach speed on a high descent rate by deploying spoilers 4+5. The angle of attack of the spoilers depends on the position of the yoke. Pulling the yoke lowers the spoilers (e.g. during flare/landing) while pushing the yoke extends them further.

### Procedure

{% hint style="info" %}
Steep approach uses FLAPS FULL but MCDU is set to FLAPS 5 by default. Remember to change it accordingly on the landing preference page.
{% endhint %}

#### Arm

When approaching the glideslope press the STEEP button on the left side of the pedestal.

* A white STEEP FMA will appear on PFD
* Steep approach mode is now armed. To disarm just press the button again.

<figure><img src="https://2148350057-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4zuBab090JlaOR4WgDz8%2Fuploads%2FCFiAm5ZYXzkhADVM9jiW%2FE-Jets-Steep-Approach.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=20626552-d8e1-4a69-80f0-adf0cb2bdd8f" alt=""><figcaption><p>Button to arm/disarm the steep approach mode.</p></figcaption></figure>

#### Engage

When all of the following conditions are met the steep approach mode will become active which is indicated by a green, momentairly flashing STEEP FMA on PFD:

* STEEP mode is armed
* Flaps are set to FULL
* Gear is DOWN

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend to set the flaps to FULL shortly before intercepting the glideslope otherwise you will end up in a long horizontal flight with deployed spoilers and high N1.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the conditions are no longer present during the approach, the steep approach mode is automatically deactivated.
{% endhint %}

#### Landing

For a proper flare and touchdown while in steep approach mode you need to consider:

* Start the flare earlier.
* Initial flare is with power on.
* High tailstrike risk.


# Speed Control

## Overview

Speed control can be manual or automatic (FMS position) depending on the selecion on the Speed Selector Knob. The FMS selection allows the FMS to send its internally defined speeds as target speeds for GGCS.

### Manual Speed Control

If the Speed Selector Knob is set to MANUAL the pilot is responsible for controlling the speed during all flight phases.

### FMS Speed Control

In this mode the speed command is sent to the AFCS by the FMS. The departure, climb, cruise, descent,  approach and go-around speeds are set in the PERFORMANCE INITIALIZATION page 1/3. If a new schedule is desired these settings can be modified in flight.

## Default Speeds

The default Embraer speeds initialized in the MCDU by default are as follows.

### Flight Phases

* **Departure Limit:** V2+10 to 1000 feet and then 210 knots up to 2500 feet
* **Climb:** 250 knots to 10,000 and then 270/.73 above 10,000
* **Cruise:** 270/.74
* **Descent:** 280/.74 until 10,000 and then 250 knots below 10,000
* FPL "**Activate App Speeds**" appears on 6R LSK when within 30 miles of destination, which when pressed will bug 210 knots

### Approach Speeds

By default the following fixed speed thresholds are set.

* Clean: 210 knots
* Flap 1: 180 knots
* Flap 2: 160 knots
* Flap 3: 150 knots
* Flap 4: 140 knots
* Ldg Flap: Vap

In APPROACH SPEEDS 1/1 page in MCDU you can also switch the approach speeds to GREEN DOT which when selected the selected speed will automatically be set to green dot (+ additive if entered).

## Basics

The custom FMS is operated from the two MCDUs on the pedestal. Captain and First Officer units are independent displays and scratchpads, but they share **one** flight plan.

{% hint style="info" %}
On power-up the MCDU shows **RADIO**. Before **RTE**, **FPL**, **PERF**, **PROG**, or **NAV** can be used, **NAV IDENT** must be displayed once (confirm date, UTC, and the active navigation database).
{% endhint %}

See RTE, F-PLN, PERF, PROG, NAV, DATALINK, RADIO, MENU, and TRS.

### Scratchpad and line-select keys

Type into the scratchpad, then press a line-select key (LSK) to insert the value.

* **CLR** — clears an alert, then the scratchpad, one character at a time.
* **DEL** — puts `*DELETE*` in the scratchpad. Press an LSK to delete that field.
* Alphanumeric keys, **.**, **/**, and **+/-** enter data.

### ACT and MOD

Edits to the route or flight plan create a **MOD** (temporary) plan. The title shows **MOD**.

* **ACTIVATE** (typically LSK 6R) copies the modification into the active plan.
* **CANCEL** discards the modification and returns to the active plan.

Captain and First Officer can independently view ACT or MOD while sharing the same FMS data.

### Dual MCDU

* Left and right MCDUs have separate brightness, scratchpads, and onside sensors (GPS / IRS / ADS).
* The **primary** MCDU follows the autopilot source (SRC on the glareshield).
* There is no dedicated DIR key. Direct-to is done from the flight-plan page (left LSK).

### Keyboard entry

Click the MCDU to capture the keyboard. **Tab** releases it.
