SunGirl Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I have found an issue in the IXEG 737 where the spoilers will jump between armed and down when using an axis. This seems to be a known issue with axis control. Is using buttons to control the spoilers more accurate. How would a real 737 pilot use the spoilers? Are the spoilers used in small increments or usually straight to the flight detent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a known issue with axis control. I found the same too (it's probably my set up!) but what i do is ignore the spoiler axis for the IXEG. In lieu of this, if I want to deploy some spoiler I use the mouse and drag the handle. I am not a real pilot but I use the spoilers like the other controls, don't just hit detent but i move them there over a second - maybe two (approx). Same when moving them back down a gradual movement and I watch the v/s react too (when in FLCH or VNAV) I also understand it is good practice to keep your hand on the s/b lever - this so that you do not forget you have deployed the spoiler. Hope this helps - Carl Edited April 4, 2018 by blocks_off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunGirl Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 What I figured out just after i posted was that if you use the axis for normal operations, and the use the speedbrake extend a notch button for arming it will not jump in and out. Still not sure about using intermediary positions as it says they should be avoided in the FCTM. I can't imagine that they would design the lever that way and then tell you basically use it like a 4 position switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
