@philshifley47317 жыл бұрын
Great Vid!!! I love the autopilot work. Thanks. But I think the standard procedure for a stabilized approach in a typical 172 is to reduce power to around 1800 rpm. Slow to white arc. 10% flaps. Trim for 70 knots. Then more flaps and trim to 65 knots. Once you have stabilized approach, small adjustments in power will control rate of decent.

I think that your flaps normally broke away at 115kts. You have to stay within the white arc wich is the flaps operatin speed. So, first set the speed in the white arc, then lower the flaps.

You are correct about the dangers of using Vertical Speed for autopilot ascents. I use FLC for ascents, and Vertical Speed for descents only. This helps mitigate the risk of stalling on an ascent. When you get distracted (and you will someday), the vertical speed autopilot on the ascent will put you into a stall. Don't do it if you want to follow best practices, and not die.

What I do is use VS to get to the target altitude, then I zero it as it gets to the desired height. Then I switch to ALT. Then there's no problem with the VS dial setting throwing your altitude off if you have to switch back to it. More importantly, when you're using ALT, any change in the altimeter settings will not throw off your altitude. If you leave it on VS, a big change in the altimeter setting will have you at the wrong altitude and the ATC is liable to get on your case.

Hey love your videos. They have given me the head start that I needed to really get into X-Plane 11 in a big way. I have, however, run into an odd issue that you might be able to shed some light on. When I land using the method demonstrated here, the autopilot consistently brings me in to the right of the runway. I appear to be dead on with the glide slope and everything works perfectly but without exception, I have to take manual control and steer back to the left in order to hit the runway. I tried it five times today since watching your video - even replicating your scenario and everything went just as it did in the video except that I was heading for the grass to the immediate right of the runway. Same thing when did it on 33R at Pearson.
@christophermichaelson90505 жыл бұрын
Synch your directional gyro to your compass. Also, you need to set your OBS to the runway heading. Note that this video is a year or more old and does not reflect updates to X-Plane (which now mimics the real-world AP).

Jason, nice job on the instruction. I would like to provide a memory aid pilots use in aircraft as well as simulators. Aviate, navigate and communicate, Aviate, your first responsibility is to fly the aircraft, stay within the flight limitations of the aircraft. Navigate, fly the heading, altitude and airspeed, Communicate is last on the list. The overhead view on the chart shows the localizer, a part of the ILS system, and the normal approach speed for an instrument approach in a Cessna 172 would be 70K. Of course if you have a 757 behind you, approach control will ask you to be pick up your speed if possible. More than once I flew ILS approaches above normal cruise A/S. A good setting for cruise power in level flight on a standard day (29.92 hg and 15 C) is around 2500 RPM. While discussing the autopilot and leveling off at 2500 ft. you hit redline on the tach. Your flaps would not have broken away because your A/S was above 115K, there is a huge safety factor that goes into the design of these aircraft but it brings me back to Aviate, Navigate and then communicate.. Hope this helps you out on any future videos, keep up the good work on explaining things to new sim pilots.

Each aircraft can be different in its limitations in the POH pilot operating handbook, but most 172's allow first set of flaps 10° at 110 knots and below, the remaining flaps you have to be within the white art also the reverse REV on the GPS is to fly the reverse course of an ILS or LOC localizer on take off or go around it's not meant to turn you around and take you back to where you were.. Also typically with maximum weight, Cruise climb is around 80 knots with a vertical speed of anywhere from 6 to 900 ft per minute depending on atmospheric conditions and altitude, it can vary greatly. Cruise throttle sittings very as well but typically 2100 to 2400 RPM leaning the fuel mixture above 3000 MSL to peak EGT then increase mixture 5 to 10 present to avoid pre-ignition or detonation in the motor. As well on takeoff depending on gross weight atmospheric conditions especially air density and altitude, rotation speed on take off is typically between 50 and 60 knots. Like I said most of this is good stuff and good enough for flight simulator just not entirely accurate.. Sincerely, Private Pilot 172 Skyhawk N9823L

Thanks for the video Jason. The AP in the Airfoil Labs 172sp is far superior and more realistic B/K KAP 140. The default AP in X-plane 172 has a annoying searching wobble at times, and as you mentioned the "alt" function is goofy. For $35 it is well worth it. The AFL 172sp only has 430, but in the real world you will not train in a 172sp with both 530 and 430, or Garmin 1000 glass, it would cost too much. The 430 and 530 work almost identical anyways. BTW I don't work for AFL. Would be nice to see your videos with AFL 172sp, Also....nice to see XP 11 with LPV approach...finally... As a "thank You" for your videos you can download the POH for Cessna 172sp from my site for free. It has an "linked" TOC PDF etc. FYI and others the FE speed limitations are 110 KIAS with 10degree of flaps. Check out POH Section 2 Limitations, page 2-4. One way to end the debate about any procedure is the POH. I noticed quite a few are wrong about FE flaps 10 in this comment section. Go to free www.cloudniner.org Also I have linked TOC on all the free FAA manuals and they are free to download on my site... Thanks Again

I have tried to mimic this so many times but it does not work. Either your are not telling us something or a newer version broke this system. The second you add flaps the AP approach no longer works. This means that you must be as full flaps prior to intercepting the glide slop which really does not make any sense. If I simply don't add flaps to the situation, it follows the glide slop perfectly. Add flaps then forget it. Automatic stall and AP quits following glide slop after it recovers.

When setting up your navigation and you put in the destination airport, Will that line you up directly with the airport OR will it line you up with a landing ILS path? I'm guessing it will not line you up? In which case, what is the normal practice to use the navigation so that when setting a destination, you enter in on a route that's already lined up with an ILS on your desired runway? Thanks for the great videos!
