Thanks, glad you like it. Simmer or real pilot, it works for everyone.

Glad you like it ☺️

No, normally use FINAL APP. only use FPA if required (various reasons).

It's a good question but it needs more context. If you do a vertically selected approach, you need to have a level segment before the FDP (or ideally not below 3000 ft, even if the FDP is at say 2000 ft) so that you can pull at 0.3 nm before and thus have a predictable vertical path interception. So in that case, setting a V/S high enough to see the arrows creating a level segment is advisable. If you do a managed approach, you need to be careful that in the case of a dive and drive (only one vertical path segment coded) the aircraft does not over speed once it goes into FINAL APP and dives down to catch the vertical path. In that case, it's best to be fully configured so that a pitch down moment does not cause the speed to increase significantly. Fiddling with the vertical speed in this case does not provide reliable results from my experience. This is because the aircraft can go onto FINAL APP any time it's close enough (provided APPR is armed of course). When doing a vertically managed approach, you can delay arming APPR to prevent an unwanted pitch down moment, but again, that is only an issue if only one vertical path segment is coded. So it depends on how the FMS is coded and what you are trying to achieve. Does this answer your question?

You can find the formula here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atWUiNlk37rckmg.html

To censor the aircraft registration and flight number to de-identify the other crew member and comply with company regulations.

No need VOR mode. Use ARC mode instead. This is a common misunderstanding. The raw data information is also available in ARC mode (needles). In ARC mode it's easier to lose situational awareness (no FAF visible, no G/A track visible, etc) and in general it's bad workload management to use modes with reduced information. Maybe you can use VOR mode for a fully selected approach (if you find it easier to track with), but not for managed/selected.

This is available in the book. You can get it for $9.99 on Amazon.

Yes, but the active waypoint has to be the Final Descent Point also.

To start from scratch would take a very long time to explain. I think there are some other videos around which take a more basic approach to it. My videos are for type rated pilots so it does indeed assumes prior knowledge.
