When you landed you said: "343 FPM, thats less than real life the other day." I'd love to know how you know your exact FPM in real life? Do you look at the vertical speed right before landing and guess or is there another option?

In the 787 we can call up a maintenance page that has these exact values (touchdown vertical speed and peak g-load). That is important for determining a threshold for mandatory maintenance checks in case of a hard landing.

@Blackbox71122 күн бұрын
In the real aircraft pilots get an instant feedback through the yoke. If the aircraft isn’t trimmed to the current speed the pilot has to continuously push or pull on the yoke to maintain the current flight path (i.e. level flight). This feedback isn’t available to flightsimmers unless they have a force feedback yoke.

how many springs do you have in your yoke and does that approximate the stiffness on the real 777? 4 springs make it quite stiff so making small pitch inputs is not really smooth, 2 feels rather too soft. so wondering how you set it up at your end. thanks for the videos.

So are we automating the trim to maintain pitch... or speed ? E.G. When you land, you extend flaps and reduce throttle deliberately to reduce speed, but you need the same pitch to maintain the fpm decent rate, to stay on the GS. I'm confused.
@Blackbox71128 күн бұрын
As you change flaps setting and reduce speed you are changing the relationship between Center of Gravity and Center of Lift. That causes the necessity to change the stabilizer position, hence the pilot needs to trim in manual flight. You trim the FBW speed reference to the new desired airspeed that you need. The FBW speed reference setting does not influence the autothrust! The position of that FBW trim reference speed is the airspeed the aircraft will stabilize at eventually if you let go of the yoke. So the FBW in the background will pitch the aircraft up and down (depending on the actual airspeed being fast or slow) until that trim reference speed is attained.

Hi BB. As a 29 year 737 pilot and ex military pilot, can you confirm the same principles hold for manual flying in the 777 as they would in the 737. That is, one sets the attitude and then trims to remove all control column forces. Without the FBW indication on the speed tape in the real aircraft, how do you know what speed you are trimming for ? I understand that the FBW system works differently under the hood, but isn't it for all practical intents and purposes the same as the 737 for manual flight ?
@Blackbox71129 күн бұрын
Hi. Taking your example: lets say you are flying manual and trimmed nicely for 250 kts, flying at 3 degree pitch. Then you want to climb at a pitch of 6 degrees. You would pull on the yoke and put in a 6 degree pitch value and manually (or autothrust) add thrust to maintain the 250 kts. Then no pitch trim input would be needed as the FBW would do its thing to maintain the pitch. The principle of the FBW system is mainly to help stabilize the aircraft and to keep it within its flight envelope. Boeing has a slightly different design compared to Airbus where the automatic pitch trim does not include speed changes in manual flight. Airbus on the other hand does this too.
