Bank Angle + Cabin Altitude
Hi,
Two questions regarding use of bank angle limiter and cabin altitude. Before I have only flown 738 by PMDG and there was automation on both systems. Classic is a bit different
1. Bank Angle - how to use it properly? Take off - 30 degrees, but should this be limited in cruise flight?
2. Cabin Alt. I know that I have to set FL and landing altitude and change the system to flight from ground. But there is also possibility to set the desired cabin alt. How is this used/operated. S
Hi Tom,
just like in the real plane, the bank angle limit selector only has an effect in HDG mode. In VOR/LOC and LNAV bank is always limited to 30 degrees, regardless of the bank angle limiter.
The only way to avoid high bank angle during cruise would be to fly the turns in HDG mode (with the limiter set to 10 deg, maybe), or in manual flight. This sounds a bit like too much trouble, but I flew with a Captain once that made it a habit to always "cut the corner" a bit in HDG mode, fant
