Jonathan, you’re doing The Lord’s work! I just purchased this plane a few days ago, and am absolutely in love with it. I’ve never done VOR anything before, but after a time, glass cockpits and GPS gets a bit stale. Thanks to your video, I was able to make an hour long flight from Flagstaff (KFLG) to Salt Lake City (KSLC), using what I learned from you. Thanks a ton! 🖖😀

This is excellent! Thank you! Getting ready to load up the 146 for the first time!

Much more fun and engaging than a regular old FMS flight 👍

Very helpful. Learned a lot from your videos. Amazing how much we have come to rely on glass cockpits and auto throttles. Totally different style of flying in the sim. Many Thanks.

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for. This plane is fantastic, normally I fly mainly in DCS, but the b146 tops almost everything I have flown so far, maybe even better than the F14 from Heatblur, although completely different planes to put it mildly.

I had a complete brain-blank while talking, and will admit to pretty much saying the functional version of it :) It will be good to see if the 737 autopilot reacts to TCAS alerts in the same way the Airbus does.

Thank you so much Jonathan for this video. Arguably the most comprehensible tutorial on VFR in this great aircraft that I also just purchased a few days ago. Ties nicely with LittleNav Map which I'm also just starting to learn. Quick question, I haven't yet been able to figure out how to have both the heading and distance for each of the yellow legs. Currently only displaying distance. Cheers.

Good work teacher ! I couldn't get the climbing to desired altitude working, bacause a few missed steps on my side. I hadn't armed the altitude and didn't use VS mode. No wonder it didn't work.

Should engage IAS mode on takeoff instead in order to maintain v2+10 or whatever climb speed is set to. Also as far as I know there is not auto throttle in the 146. There's a limiter which is completely different. Apart from that good for beginners to Learn basics on this aircraft.

I know the air brake is the lever to my right thigh. My way of operating it is via the mouse which is awkward. I would like to map it to something but can't find it to bind. Can you help? Enjoying your vids on this aircraft really helping a lot.

@jonbeckett

There are a number of bindings for the airbrake - some pre-configured on the keyboard already - just search for "brake" or "spoiler" in the controller config screens. Remember each hardware device has different bindings.

Great video thanks Jonathon. Can you advise details of the map you are using and how to get it please?

So there's no button for selecting rate of climb/descend ? You pitch up/down and press VS, right ? BAE146 will keep desired angle of pitch ?

Is there any navigational display screen on the BAE 146' s cockpit that we can follow the route line?

No.

Here you say the aircraft is flying into the 351deg radial *towards* the VOR beacon. Question: Does it always fly towards the beacon, or can it also be set to fly *away* from the beacon along a given radial?

@jonbeckett

2 жыл бұрын

Yes of course - it's just dependent on the course you dial in - if you are flying towards the VOR, the NAV radio knows the course is "to" the VOR. If the course is away from the VOR, the NAV radio knows the course is "from" the VOR, and the symbology on the CDI (course deviation indicator) reflects that - with the two arrows being on the same side (to), or on opposite sides (from).

Talking, demonstrating, and flying are always a problem if you multi-task as badly as me :)

You shouldn’t change over to the next VOR as soon as your overhead the last. You need should fly the outbound radial until the halfway point (known as the changeover point) and then change to the inbound VOR. The reason is that in the real world the VOR coverages are limited.

Absolutely. In this case I'm just showing how the controls work though (and flying ridiculously short legs lol)
