I use the old version of JeppView for approach cards and put the appropriate ones into the e-book reader. Plan-G for creating the flight plan (and for flight tracking if using the autopilot). If navigating with dead reckoning then E6B computer ("hardware" one ).

Or you can use the free KLN90B gps. It's much older and not that convenient model, but it's OK for most use cases and even not that hard to use.

If you put full flaps, the autopilot disconnects - it's not built to land the plane and should not be used for that. However the autopilot can put the plane to the ground if you don't use full flaps, but the landing is very rough (unlike e.g. the FlyJSim 727 autopilot which can flare the airplane and the landing is smooth) and you should not do that in the real life because on some approaches (like the London City where the angle is really steep) you could cause serious damage to the plane.

The -200 variant is AFAIK not on the X-Plane market yet. It's a different beast than Classic which is a different plane than NG. Personally I AM looking forward to it and I'm not going to buy the NG. I'd buy Classic if there were no "Prehistoric" (AKA -200 or -100) available. Of course I'm a minority - but I just don't want a simulation of a flying computer. X-Plane (even with yoke and pedals) is not a real life (where I would like to have every automation possible - even at my "boring" work (software developer) I automate as much as I can - to prevent as much errors as possible), X-Plane is something what I have for an entertainment and I find more entertaining to have steam gauges, "hardware" E6B and printed maps rather than fancy iPads in front of me. I just hope that I am not the single potential buyer of the plane.

I doubt that there is a possibility to create the X-plane FMS plan with proper GPS approaches in the game, however I have never tried. A lot of navigation points are missing. However with external planning software, like Plan-G (you can get it for free), it is possible conveniently create the plans to custom coordinates (= to the points which are not in the navigation database). For better experience you can use the xFMC (pretty feature-rich FMC device) or KLN90b (an IFR-certified GPS) plugins - they are free and their databases can be updated from Navigraph (which is for $$$, however). For proper procedures just follow the approach plates for your destination airport, pretty much everything needed is written there. Both xFMC and KLN90b have pretty accurate databases and points which you need to fly to during the approach should be available. For plates there are a lot of sources: some countries provide them free, you can get real ones from Jeppesen (however they cost money), plates for some airports can be got from Navigraph, you can search the VATSIM sites or try the http://charts.aero/ .

Hello, what is the lincense for this file, please? I have "only" one monitor attached to computer which I play x-plane on and I am using e-book reader for approach charts and checklists. May be there are more people like me. Do you think that it would be legally OK if I uplaoded html and epub versions of this documents on this site?

I was quite long flying with PMDG Jetstream 41, which is a little different so I can be wrong because I brought a lot of habits (feel free to correct me, please :-) ): - manual start - just for fun. But I've never flied a Jetstream neither to Alaska nor Qatar so I haven't had problems with cold/hot temperature. (The wildest place was Lerwick in Scotland, but heavy storm with high humidity was obviously not a problem.) - prop sync - in PMDG manual there is a quote from real pilot that they use it only during cruise. They slows one propeller a bit (98% RPM ->97.8% in speed cruise or 96%->95.8% for econ cruise) and then engage the prop sync. - yaw damper - I use it in cruise and apporach. But to tell the truth I've never noticed a big dutch-rolling neither in FSX or in X-Plane - which is the reason why yaw damper is there. (May be it's just unnoticeable in the sim? In real life you would have the floor of the passenger cabin covered with vomits, but in the sim you don't pay the cleaning lady anyway )

Sorry, I found them in this forum http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/420-j32-fsm-profiles-maneuvers/ http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/421-j32-fsm-performance/

Hello, I'm an FSX player and consider switching to X-Plane. I really love PMDG Jetstream for FSX and this one will probably be my first plane I'll ever buy for X-Plane. But in the manual (at least in the freely google-able version) there are no performance charts, i.e. how much fuel I'd need for a trip in certain weather, how much runway would I need in Denver airport at 40°C summer day etc. Some of the X-Plane planes actually have them (e.g. the Beech 1900C - http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18484 , barely readable but has). Do you provide such a charts with this plane, please? I know that PMDG also does not provide them and I couldn't find the real-world POH on the internet, still I think it would be nice to have them.
