INTRODUCTION
The Fokker Project was started 3 years ago, the target was clear, a highly sophisticated Fokker simulation as close as possible to reality. Similar to most flight sim projects, time line has been extended from initially 1 year to 2 years and now, yeah we have 3 years at least. Anyway now the first part is finished and the Fokker system simulation is very close to that, we expected it to be. As you read the following manual you will find a detailed aircraft simulation description and also some real world differences. I want to wish you much fun reading that manual, flying the Fokker and operating your simulator... Florian Praxmarer project manager DA Fokker 100

Flight Simulator SETUP


Realism Settings: To enjoy the full benefit of the flight dynamics and to have proper autopilot response always set all realism settings to maximum real. Disable Autocoordination and gyro drift and select "indicated airspeed". Pilot controls lights. Crash detection and fuel limitation is up to you. Flight Controls: First of all, a joystick is absolutely mandatory. Although you can fly the Fokker with the keyboard its absolutely not recommended, some functions will not work without joystick. Set all your sensitivity settings in Flight Simulator to medium and offsets as to fit to your joystick. A good calibrated joystick, especially the throttle axis, is very important. You may calibrate your throttle idle position again later on within the Fokker panel itself. Fokker has a agile banking behavior, do not wonder when you feel it reactive in this point, compared to other Add-On aircrafts. Trim is also a little more reactive to make Flight Director following more realistic.

Screen Resolution: The minimum screen resolution is 1280x960 pixels. Using less can result in unreadable 2D Panel graphics, although panel is working in 1024x768 e.g. Performance/Loading Times: The performance of the Fokker is very good, the difference to the default Learjet should be about 58fps, but is depending on a lot of things and system configuration, so these values are not assured. To achieve a good performance, the Fokker concept is to load as much as possible during aircraft load phase and reduce calculations during flight. So it is normal that it can take 5-30 seconds until the scenery loading bar of the FS appear, when the Fokker is selected. When you switch to outside view, loading the textures can take a view seconds initially, because they are in a highly detailed format. Lower resolution textures are added too, but need to be replaced manually. Flight Simulator Limitations: This aircrafts is very accurately simulated, so the usage of SLEW MODE and reposition functions in the FS Map may cause unexpected system behavior, since real aircraft is never slewed and always operated as stated in the normal operation procedures. So ideal system functionality is assured when doing complete flights following the normal procedures.

3.4

QUICK START / AIRCRAFT SELECTION


After completing your Flight Simulator setup as described in the previous chapter, you can now go on to use the aircraft in Flight Simulator. After installation you get a new manufacturer entry in your Flight Simulator's aircraft list. Select the "Fokker - Digital Aviation" as manufacturer. Further on you can select between the models F70(Fokker 70), F70CT(Fokker 70 + center tank), F100(Fokker 100) for the captain side view. For each type there is a F70 F/O entry too, which places you on the right seat of the cockpit. The different door options are chosen by the livery you select, so the Austrian Arrows has the sliding doors and Air France Brit Air as the stair type for example. The aircraft loads in the state you saved as "reloading state", anyway initially when running the first time it loads as "ready for takeoff". You are now ready to use the plane, i want wish you a lot of fun with it at this point. I highly recommend to do at least the first 2 tutorial flights, to get familiar with the basic procedures and system operation. The tutorial flights 3 and 4 are for more advanced system operation. You hold a complex and very realistic aircraft simulation in your hands, enjoy learning and flying with it!

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


Hardware: At least you need a PC capable running Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 (1.8GHz Pentium). The Simulator should run with at least 12fps for a enjoyable usage, the more the better. It makes sense to limit the maximum framerate to not more than 25-30fps because that improves the continuity of the rendering and saves CPU power for other calculations. The package itself needs about 600MB free disk space, and and about 150-200MB free RAM space when in use. It is always recommended that sound and display drivers are up to date. Software: The operating system should be WinXP or newer, Win2000 is not supported. Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 + Patch to 9.1. The most recent FSUIPC is needed for FS9, at least version 3.74, if no newer version is present at the target system, the installer installs version 3.74. No registration for FSUIPC is needed to run the Fokker package. Its highly recommended to keep the Flight Simulator and the FSUIPC version up to date.

THE AIRCRAFT GENERAL


The Fokker 100 was introduced by the Fokker company in year 1986 and F70 in 1993. It is a small- to midrange civil jet for a 70(F70) and 100(F100) seat configuration. Fokker stopped production in 1996 but 278 F100 and 46 F70 jets keep flying around in the whole world. The largest operators are KLM, TAM and AUSTRIAN ARROWS followed by a number of smaller airlines. Also the low fare carriers are using the Fokker jet line. On the tail of the jet are two Rolls Royce Engines, the TAY620-15 on the Fokker 70 and Fokker 100 and the TAY650-15 on the Fokker 100 only. The F100 with TAY620 will be a later update for that package, since we got some essential performance data for that aircraft type very late. The aircraft has a speed brake, that is primary used for speed reduction and has no effect on the lift, completely different to the spoilers on a Boeing or Airbus for example. There are also lift dumpers present, but these can not be extracted in flight. Something very specific are the Landing lights, which are mounted on the bottom of the wing, far out near the tips. They can be extracted there.

DOCUMENTATION GUIDE
The systems description is based on a easy and clear structure helping you to find things quite quickly. Supplying Systems: At the beginning of each system you have a quick reference of the supplying systems. All the systems stated there need to be available for the target system to operate normal. System Description: This chapter describes the system operation in detail. Should give you detailed and well structured information. Alerts: This field contains all possible alerts generated by the system. Every alert is summarized in a alert describer like this. ENG 1 N1 OVERSPEED N1 OVSPD ENG 1 3 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 FAULT P

The title states the alert condition to be met. The 1. column states the exact name and color in the LH MFDU alert list. The 2. column states the alert level 1-3 is possible, M for a MEMO or S for a status message. The 3. column shows the type of aural alert that is generated (single, double, triple chime). The 4. column lists all flight phases in which alert generation is inhibited The 5. column shows which and if a local fault light is active. The 6. column contains a P if a procedure is displayed in RH MFDU upon alert generation Real Aircraft Differences: Although we try to keep this fields empty, we will state differences to real aircraft in that caption. FS limitations, lack of documentation, limits of desktop simulation and usage on a 2D screen forced us to leave a few functions or change them for more comfortability in PC simulation usage.

Mouse Click Convention: Digital Aviation has a mouse click standard convention, overall you can say that left click on a spot is decrease a value and right click increases a value. Pushbuttons are generally left click assigned, maybe also right click with same or a special function (AFCAS). Selectors are defined as below.

(2)

The left area is used for coarse adjustment of a value (left click decrease, right click increase). The right area is used for fine adjustment of a value (left click decrease, right click increase). If triple knobs are used (ADF) more fields may be defined. If value windows are present you can also increase or decrease the value in there. Toggle switches are similar as selectors, left click is switch down and right click is switch up.

FWS FLIGHT WARNING SYSTEM


Supplying Systems: FWC A: FWC B: FAULT LIGHTS: SAP: System Description: Dual Flight Warning System FWS1/FWS2 monitor a number of sensors and systems and collect, filter and present erroneous conditions to the pilot as aural and visual alerts and presents required procedures. The warnings have 3 priority levels: LEVEL 3 alert, result in a red flashing MASTER WARNING light, a repetitive triple chime aural signal and a red entry in the LH MFDU alert list. Pressing MASTER WARNING light cancels the aural tone except some MASTER WARNINGS that can not be canceled. LEVEL 3 alerts require immediate pilot action! LEVEL 2 alert, result in a amber flashing MASTER CAUTION light, a dual chime aural signal and a amber entry in the LH MFDU alert list. Pressing MASTER CAUTION light cancels the aural tone. LEVEL 2 alerts should get pilot attention and resolution as fast as possible. LEVEL 1 alert, result in single chime aural signal and a amber entry in the LH MFDU alert list. LEVEL 1 alerts should be recognized by pilots but do not required immediate resolution. MEMO MESSAGES result in a blue entry in the LH MFDU alert list. These messages are only information about system states that are good to be clear about. No action is required upon MEMO messages. STATUS MESSAGES result in a white entry in the RH MFDU status display list. These messages are only information about system states, that can be result of connected systems failures/losses, or external aircraft handling ( doors e.g.). They also inform about some limitations that are active "AVOID EXTREME PITCH" in case of low fuel condition e.g. DC2 DC ESS DC1/DC2 DC EMER MFDU LH: MFDU RH: MFDS: AC ESS AC2 AC ESS

AUTOMATIC MFDU XFR takes place when LH MFDU is switched off, then it is automatically displayed on the RH side, because LH MFDU is the more important one. AUTOMATIC MFDU STATUS selection is done as soon as parking brake is set, and is removed as soon as parking brake is released. ALERT INHIBITION is used to avoid the pilots being disturbed by alerts in a critical phase of flight and to display alerts only if they are relevant in the actual phase of flight. The flight is split into 12 phases: Phase 1 after electrical power on Phase 2 after first engine on Phase 3 after MIN TO power Phase 4 when >80kts Phase 5 when airborne < 400ft AGL Phase 6 when climbing <1000 ft AGL Phase 7 when climbing and cruising >1000 ft AGL Phase 8 when descending <1000ft AGL Phase 9 when descending <400ft AGL Phase 10 when on ground >80kts Phase 11 when <80kts Phase 12 after engine off to 5 minutes later

For every single alert is defined in which phases its generation is inhibited. Already displayed alerts are not removed when a transition to a phase occur where it should be inhibited. Only if a alert would be generated in a inhibited flight phase, its presentation is delayed as long as a flight phase is entered where the alert is not inhibited. For example, if you get a N1 over speed condition in T/O run at 100kts the alert will be delayed until you pass 400ft AGL, because it is inhibited in Phase 4. If N1 over speed condition disappears before 400AGL nothing will be displayed. If you get the N1 over speed before reaching 80kts, it will be displayed and stays displayed even getting faster that 80kts. ENG 1 N1 OVERSPEED N1 OVSPD ENG 1 3 1,4,9,12 P

This LEVEL 3 alert is inhibited in Phase 1,4,9,12 e.g. Aural indications of LEVEL 2 and LEVEL 1 alerts can be muted in the AVIONICS panel with the guarded WARN AUDIO button. LEVEL 3 triple chime and alerts also visible on SAP can not be muted. (1)

The 2 fuel pumps per side control the fuel supply to the engine, a single pump can supply enough fuel to have no impact in thrust on its side. If only one pump has to supply both engines thrust is limited to 85%. Switching off all pumps limit thrust to about 30%, but will not shut off engine since suction feed through the pumps is possible, but you easily get a FUEL PRESSURE alert then. CENTER TANK fuel is pumped to collector tank with the center tank pumps. You can select either automatic control of these pumps and they will stop transferring fuel when center fuel level is low. If you select manual control via the AUTOFEED pushbutton(6) then you have to operate the pumps manually and switch them off before the center tank is empty, else you get a CENTER TANK FAULT. CROSSFEED is enabled with the X-FEED button (5). A memo message FUEL X-FEED is displayed. QUANTITY is indicated in the displays (9)(10)(11) for the respective tanks, and on the Fuel Totalizer for a overall fuel quantity. Display is in kg only. When Wing tank level goes below 100kg, indication starts flashing with LO90 e.g.

System Description: Fokker aircraft are equipped with either a Rolls Royce TAY620-15 (70+100) or a TAY650-15 (F100) engine. Its a twin spool high bypass ratio engine. The engines supply thrust power, but also hydraulic power, high and low pressure bleed air and electrical power. A number of parameters are sensed and displayed for monitoring the engines. STARTING the engines requires electrical power (battery DC or extern AC) and bleed air to operate the starter and fuel. Fuel pumps are not needed to be on, suction feed is enough. Bleed air can be supplied by APU, external supply or via a bleed cross feed from a running engine. The starter system needs to be armed via the ENG START button (1) and the engine starter has to be activated via the start selector switch(3).

Fuel and ignition is applied when the FUEL LEVER of the starting engine is opened. If N2 raises the starter valve is closed and engine is running. During engine start, hydraulic power and bleed air supply is inhibited, packs are shut off. If engines are started out of batteries this inhibition is not provided. The IGNITION selector defines when ignition is applied to the engines. In NORM mode, the EMUX system automatically applies the ignition, CONT1 or 2 ignition is applied during engine start with fuel lever open. RELIGHT applies continuous ignition.

THRUST RATING can be selected in the MFDS panel. Five different thrust ratings are available and can be selected by the respective push button. TOGA FLX CLB CRZ MCT Takeoff or Go Around power Flexible take off power continuous climb power cruise power maximum continuous power

FLX is used to decrease the engine power setting for takeoff. Basically engine power is degraded with increasing outside temperature. FLX temperature selection assumes the outside temperature is FLX TEMP and so reduces trust rating. FLX temp cannot be selected below actual outside temperature. Next to all predefined thrust ratings above, you can select manual EPR target (MAN). AFCAS can change the thrust rating automatically.

ENGINE INDICATIONS are shown on the LH and RH MFDU and on the SEI standby engine indicator. The primary engine data, the more relevant one, is shown on the LH MFDU. Secondary engine data is shown on RH MFDU when selected in the MFDS panel. The engine power rating is measured using the EPR (engine pressure ratio) of the engine. This value is used to set power levels. EPR is the ratio between pressure on the engine inlet and the outlet and is a mostly linear value for the resulting thrust. The range of EPR starts a 1.0 (no thrust) to a upper maximum of about 1.9 (depends on a lot of factors). During descent it could happen to get a EPR of 0.95-0.99. The EPR tape is the most important one and is shown on the LH MFDU. 2 green bars (1) show the EPR value on the scale for each engine. Additionally the numeric value(2) is shown on top of the scale. Above, the active thrust rating(3) is shown, that could be MAN, TOGA, MCT, CLB, CRZ and FLX 1.65/50c (blue). The white wedges(4) show the actual thrust rating limit on the scale. If thrust is controlled automatically, a blue Lazy T(5) is shown for the actual target. If in MAN thrust rating mode, white Lazy T shows the actual set value. If thrust levers are mechanically declutched from ATS, a D(6) is show next to the thrust rating. If a Reverser is out, it is shown by a R (7) on top of the bar.

TGT is shown as green bar and when beyond limits as amber or red value above. Two limits are present, the amber limit (735C for TAY 620 and 795C for TAY 650) and the red limit (800C for TAY 620 and 850C for TAY 650). Engine start and reverse thrust selection changes the red limit and amber limit disappear. The actual limits are drawn by red and amber markings at the tape. The bar gets amber when exceeding the limit more than 5min and a respective alert is presented. When 20sec. above red limited a resp. LEVEL 3 alert is presented, and the indication gets red.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Supplying Systems: ELECTRICAL DC EMERGENCY/BATT BUS

System Description: Electrical power is one of the most important things on board of a aircraft. Without electrical power, only the standby airspeed indicator and the altimeter is working in the cockpit, so a high level of redundancy is needed for electrical equipment. Several sources of electrical power are present, these are the 2 batteries (28V DC) and the 2 generators of each engine (IDG1+IDG2 115V AC). APU can also supply AC power on ground and in air. External power source (AC) can supply power on ground when connected. The sources are routed to buses. A bus is a power line where systems can be connected to. A number of buses are present. Some buses are highly redundant, that means a high number of sources supply the bus, some are only supplied by a single source. But a failing source would then result in a bus power down a fail of all connected systems. If more sources are connected, the bus only fails if all sources are down. Electrical distribution give highly redundant electrical power for vital systems and less redundant for the unimportant ones, to extend battery life if needed. On the other hand, its used to have the option to power down defined parts of electrical system for case of a fire in some equipment, without loosing the capability to control the aircraft. AC/DC EMER BUS: This bus is highly redundant, if all generators and APU fail, Batteries supplying that bus to keep it alive. Only really vital instruments connected to that system. Being on EMER only battery provides power for at least 30 minutes. Essential bus is also very redundant, but needs more power and at least one working AC source to supply. AC1/DC1 supplies most of the captain side instruments not connected to previous buses and thus the less important ones. Therefore AC2/DC2 supply same for the F/O. Cross connection between these buses is possible. Directly connected to AC1/2 bus but 26V instead of 115V. These buses are for all galley equipment and thus needed to be separated. In case of a fire in some galley equipment you can easily disconnect them without loosing flight deck systems. These buses are used for ground equipment outside of the aircraft.

Supplying Systems: BLEED 1 BLEED 2 System Description: Bleed air is needed for different systems in aircraft. Bleed air is sourced by the compressors in engines and the APU and external bleed air when on ground. 2 compressor stages in engines provide either high/low pressure bleed air. Bleed air is used for engine start, anti ice systems, cabin air conditioning and pressurization and hydraulic and water tank pressurization. Both engines supply bleed air, as soon as the respective bleed button is blank. External bleed air is directly fed in, without any controls. APU bleed air is fed in when APU BLEED button is blank and aircraft on ground. DC EMER DC ESS

APU BLEED AIR LIMITATIONS APU Bleed is connected 2 minutes after APU electrical power is available. APU Bleed is only available on ground, different to APU electrical power

Engine Starter and Engine Anti Ice System is directly feed from the bleed system. The airconditioning packs, the bleed pressure indicator and airframe anti icing are separated by a SHUTOFF valve from the bleed system. This valve opens as soon as a fire handle is pulled. The bleed pressure indication shows bleed pressure in psi. The more bleed user connected (anti ice, starter, packs e.g.) the lower the pressure. Pressure also varies by thrust, the more thrust the higher the amount of bleed air available. Pressure is up-limited to 55psi, and should not fall below 12psi. GROUND BLEED need to be connected in the UTILITY PANEL.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


Supplying Systems: ECON CTRL CAB AUTO CTL CAB MAN CTL FLTDCK AUTO CTL FLTDCK MAN CTL System Description: Airconditioning is controlled via the PACK 1+2. PACK1 supplies Flightdeck, PACK2 the cabin. PACK can be switched off via the assigned pack pushbutton. Additional following auto-shutoff conditions can be met: bleed pressure is below 10psi during engine start when both engines reverse when single engine operation and thrust above MIN TO and below 13500ft. The auto-shutoff can be overridden with the AIRCOND AUTO S/O button in the RAM panel. The pack flow control defines the rate at which packs are suppling air. Flow can be reduced by activating the ECON mode. The reduced ECON flow is automatically selected when: TOGA is selected, until 1min after selection During takeoff until 1min after liftoff As long as max thrust is applied ECON is inhibited when temp control is in manual mode. In the flightdeck, the most noise is produced by the packs. It is very loud and you can hear every pack flow change and bleed pressure change. TEMPERATURE CONTROL can either be manual or automatic. Different temperatures for flightdeck and cabin can be selected. A display can show cabin temperature and suppling air temperature. RAM air valve would open a valve to have outside air feeding the cabin, that makes only sense in unpressurized flight situations.

PRESSURIZATION
Supplying Systems: CAB PRESS CTRL CAB PRESS AIR System Description: Cabin pressurization is done via the airconditioned pack supply. So for proper pressurization working pack and bleed air is required. Pressurization can only work if outside pressure is lower than the cabin. Packs provide high pressure air, and outflow valves regulate as to maintain a target cabin pressure. A value for cabin pressure is the cabin altitude. If cabin pressurization runs in the automatic mode, the maximum differential pressure of 7.46psi is held at higher altitude. That results in 8000ft cabin altitude when flying on 35000ft. Excessive cabin altitude alert is presented when cabin altitude goes beyond 10000ft. If cab alt goes beyond 12000ft outflow valves close automatically. Outflow valves limit differential pressure to 7.65psi. Additional inflow valves prevent against negative differential pressure. AUTOMATIC mode starts operation at take off and sets the target cabin altitude and rate. Setting the LANDING ALTITUDE is required for a proper pressurization profile for decent. MANUAL mode provides selection of cabin altitude rate. It can be selected by switch the PRESS CONTROL button to MAN and then operate the UP/DN rate with selected rate. PRESSURIZATION INDICATION is done via 3 electrical driven needles, that show differential pressure, cabin altitude and cabin climb/descent rate.

System Description: First of all, Fokker aircraft are equipped with a ICE DEDECTOR, that regularly checks if icing occurs. If so a alert is presented and the ICE warning indication is on. The ENGINE ANTIICE is controlled in the ANTIICE panel on the lower overhead panel. Bleed air is used to provide engine anti ice. Engine vibration increases and power reduces upon icing. The AIRFRAME ANTIICE (WING/TAIL ANTIICE) is also controlled in the ANTIICE panel on the lower overhead panel. Bleed air is used to provide airframe anti ice. Airframe anti ice is inhibited for 60 seconds after TOGA selection or liftoff or as long as max. thrust is selected.

ANTIICE EFFECT TO BLEED AIR/IDLE THRUST Anti ice is significantly reduces bleed pressure when in low thrust condition. Therefore ATS will command above idle when in LVL/CHG descent or in PROF descent to maintain a minimum of bleed air. Especially in profile descent this could result in excessive IAS/MACH and profile deviation. Additionally it needs engine power, so expect climb rate reduction and more fuel consumption in cruise flight.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Supplying Systems: QTY INDICATION QTY INDICATION S/O VALVE ENG1 S/O VALVE ENG2 System Description: Hydraulic system is, after electrical system, the next vital system, where redundancy is an issue. All aircraft control flaps as elevator, aileron, rudder, stabilizer, speed brake, lift dumpers, gear and brakes are primary hydraulic driven systems. For some systems, alternate electrical driving is possible in case of a complete hydraulic failure or hydraulic accumulators provide at least pressure for some actions. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM is split into 2 systems, but these system are unlike to most other systems, not separated into left/right system. Each engine has 2 internal hydraulic pumps, one suppling system 1 and the other system 2. So one single engine provides pressure for both systems. Additionally every system has electrical driven pump, but this pump cannot provide as much power to do in-flight operation, its for ground operation only. PRESSURE is regulated to about 3000psi for every system and is independent of N1 of the engine. Oil pressure and quantity is measured and indicated in the HYDRAULIC control panel on the overhead.

System Description: LANDING GEAR contains gear extension and retraction, and braking and steering systems. The sensors providing information if aircraft is on ground or in flight are also mounted in landing gear. LANDING GEAR MOVEMENT controlled with the landing gear lever. The lever operates all valves for a gear and gear door movement. As long gear is in travel the landing gear lever knob is illuminated in blue. When gear is fully down and locked the 3 green lights (left/nose/right) are on. Without hydraulic power gear can only be extended once by gravity and no more operation is possible. If landing gear is not down and locked, when Radio altitude lower than 1000ft, and Flaps more than 23 out or thrust below MIN TO then a LG NOT DOWN level 3 alert is presented. This aural triple chime can NOT be canceled. Landing gear must be successfully extended for the alert to disappear. Only if the alert is generated by thrust going below the MIN TO position, it can be canceled by pressing MWL. The landing gear lever is positioned in the center of the Main Instrument Panel.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM provides braking control for all wheels. Brakes can be controlled manually via the default MSFS brake action or automatically via the Auto Brake System (ABS). Brake temperature is sensed and displayed in the Brake Temperature Indicators. AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM provides automatic braking with a predefined brake efficiency. RTO mode can be armed on ground, to provide maximum braking in case of a rejected take off. As soon as ground speed is above 80kts and thrust levers are fully retarded to idle ABS will come active and applies full brake pressure until either the aircraft comes to a full stop or (switch goes OFF automatically) the thrust levers are moved above idle or (switch goes OFF automatically) brakes manually operated (switch goes OFF automatically) ABS manually switched to OFF In case of lift off after takeoff the switch will automatically return to the OFF position and disarm the system. During LANDING the ABS can be armed in flight to 3 levels of brake power (LO, MED, HI). When armed to one of these levels the ABS will come active as soon as touchdown is sensed and thrust levers are fully retarded to idle. Same conditions as for RTO disarm the system. A different brake power level can be selected any time. On ground only RTO can be selected. ABS system has a self test functionality, that will generate a fault when failing. This test will also fail if at the moment of RTO arming, so the moment where switch is moved from OFF to RTO. In this moment following conditions need to be met for a proper RTO arming: Thrust Levers idle no manual brake operation (1) ABS Autobrake Selector (2) ABS Autobrake Fault Light

When hydraulic power is not available, all controls can be moved by manual force on control wheel/pedals in real aircraft, but it goes hard. We simulated that in less reactive rudder changes, so you cannot move the controls as fast as with hydraulic power. Icing can also have similar effects. There are no indications available in the real aircraft, because you can feel rudder travel on yoke. Anyway in the simulation we added a FMS Maintenance Page where the controls can be monitored. You can check correct rudder travel there.

SPEED BRAKE is operated by the speed brake lever on pedestal. Speed brake can be used in flight to decelerate the aircraft in descent. Speed brake can also be used to be extended during a complete ILS approach to force the engines running at higher RPM to make them more reactive on gusts. Speed brake is driven by a constant hydraulic pressure of 3000psi. At higher airspeeds, air load on the brake is as high to reduce its mechanic extension to from about 60 to about 30. The speed brake light on MIP indicates as soon speed brake leaves IN position.

MAJOR DIFFERENCE TO OTHER AIRCRAFT TYPES Speed brake can NOT be armed to extend automatically upon touchdown or rejected take off! It has no great effect on braking distance, since airspeed is relative low on ground.

Speed brake extension is inhibited during AFCAS TO or GA modes, and as long you apply maximum thrust. Speed brake automatically retracts when: TOGA trigger activated Thrust above MIN TO with Landing Gear up maximum thrust is applied If hydraulic power fails speed brake cannot be extended anymore. If speed brake is already extended it stays there until you select lever to IN position, then it slowly retracts, driven by air load. (1) Speed Brake Lever (2) Speed Brake Light on MIP

LIFT DUMPERS are used to destroy lift upon touch down or a rejected take off. They are NOT able to be used as spoilers in flight. Anyway they even can not be extended in flight. Lift dumpers have no lever to operate, the only can be armed to extend upon touchdown or in rejected take off. The lift dumper logic can be armed with the respective button between the fuel levers. The lift dumper system can completely disabled in the overhead hydraulic panel. Lift dumpers can be engaged manually or automatically. AUTOMATIC EXTENSION only occurs when system is armed with the LIFTD ARM button. When armed on ground, extension occurs when speed was once greater 80kts and Throttle retarded to idle. As soon as applying forward throttle above idle or manually disarm the system via the button they retract. The system automatically disarms upon lift off. When armed IN FLIGHT the lift dumpers extend upon touchdown and wheel spin up. As long until you apply forward thrust or manually disarm the system via the button. Lift dumpers disarm upon TOGA button press forcing a go-around.

Attention LIFT DUMPNER ARMING! Do not arm the LIFTD system without landing gear extended since the self test could fail then

INERTIAL REFERENCE UNITS (IRU)


Supplying Systems: IRU1 System Description: INERTIAL REFERENCE UNITS provide a number of important values used in many systems. Most important values are of course pitch,bank,LAT/LON position data and thus ground speed, followed by mag/true heading, calculated wind information, calculated track information, precise vertical speed and several acceleration values for AFCAS. 6 Laser Gyros per IRU measure every acceleration in every axis and integrate and calculate them into the stated values. Some values are available only when aircraft is in motion, when ground speed is above 80kts. These are wind information and so track information. For proper operation of IRU's, a alignment is needed with a absolute non moving aircraft on ground. That alignment takes between 5-15minutes (5 minutes on equator up to 15minutes at 70N/60S).Its a option in the panel configurator to reduce align time to about 1-5minutes. In the full align phase it's absolutely mandatory, that aircraft is not moved, engines are off and electrical power is not switched during align, spikes could easily result in a align fault. IRS calculates the actual heading and a coarse position information during align time. But you have to enter you actual precise position into the IRU panel or set it via FMC (see FMC chapter for more info about that). When the position is set and IRU's are in NAV mode and align lights are out, its ready to use. You can only enter positions that are at least within +/-1 LAT and +/- 0.5 LON of the actual coarse (self discovered) position. You can not set a position of Rio de Janairo in Vienna. Due to a summing inaccuracy of the measurement of accelerations, the IRU data, especially the position and so ground speed info get inaccurate the longer you fly. For that reason you can do a fast realign on ground but aircraft must not be moving. Realign allows to do a short recalibration and position entry, but that can only be done out of a prior aligned phase. Out of OFF mode you can only do a complete align. In flight nothing can be done if a IRU fails, you have no chance to realign it. In flight if a IRU lost all information (power loss) you can switch to ATT mode. In this mode you have to hold the aircraft in 0 pitch and 0 bank for 30seconds and then IRU will recover attitude information. If you enter the current heading it will recover heading based on your input too. Position and ground speed/wind information is unrecoverable lost until aligned on ground again.

VOR receiver do not calibrate IRU's As many of you maybe know about VOR calibrating IRU position, thats not correct. VOR do not calibrate the IRU Position, they calibrate the FMS position. VOR have no effect on IRU information and data. See FMS introduction for more information.

Fokker jets have at least 2 independent IRU's on board. IRU1 is primary routed to CAPTAIN side instruments, IRU2 to F/O. Both IRU are routed to each FMS and AFCAS/FCC. CONTROL of both IRU's is done via two panels, first the MODE SELECT UNIT on the upper overhead. This panel allows native control over IRU, you can switch them OFF, into ALIGN or REALIGN phase, NAV and ATT mode by the IRU Mode Selector(1). The panel provide a switch for each installed IRU unit. When switch once gets in NAV mode you can only move it out of that position with a right click, because in reality it's locked by a pull. Attention with IRU Mode selection during flight ! NAV is the normal position in flight, changing that mode would result in a complete indication loss of primary flight data and position and FMS loss. So fingers away from that switches in flight unless there is really need to!

The 4 LIGHTS per IRU indicate the status of the IRU's. A steady align light(2) indicates that align phase is in progress. A blinking align light(2) means pilot action is needed or an error has occurred during align. Error identification and solving is described a few lines later. The ON DC Light (3) indicates the IRU is DC powered instead of AC. Normally it should be AC powered unless AC is lost. ON DC comes on for 5 seconds whenever IRU's switched on, just for testing purposes. The FAIL light indicates a complete IRU system fail.

WXR ON/OFF CONTROL is done via the brightness knob on EFIS panel in MIP. You can switch it off/on there and set the brightness of the display. WXR is shown in ND as soon as it is switched on. Additionally you can select it to be shown in the RH MFDU, by selecting WXR in the MFDS panel. See Multicrew Manual chapter 5 for WXR side dependencies in Multicrew operation. BEAM and IMAGE control can be done via the panel on the pedestal. The mode selector (1) sets the current mode, these are

NAVIGATION RECEIVERS (VOR-DME/ILS/MARKER/ADF)


Supplying Systems: ILS1 DME1 VOR1/MARKER1 ADF1 System Description: Dual VOR/DME receiver are available in the Fokker jetline. Each receiver can tune a VOR frequency from 108.00 to 117.950 MHz in 50kHz increments. A course selector allows courses from 001 to 360. The tuning of the receivers can be done in the resp. VOR Panel or in the FMC, it depends on the EFIS Panel settings on the glare shield. When tuning at the panel is not possible, the display is dashed. Tuning at the VOR Panel is possible when - EFIS APP/VOR Button is in VOR mode and - EFIS Mode selector is in ARC/ROSE mode In all other cases the receivers are remote controlled by FMC. See FMC PROGRESS PAGE for more information. See Multi Crew Manual chapter 5. for more information about VOR tuning when flying Multicrew with complete side in logic. Then the VOR1 depends on EFIS LH and VOR2 depends on EFIS RH. In single pilot flying LH EFIS controls both VOR.

TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) provides the real TCASIIv7 functionality. Traffic is sensed via the XPNDR echoes in the 40NM radius around the aircraft. You can make these targets visible on ND by switching XPNDR mode to TA or TA/RA and select TRFC on the display selectors in EFIS panel. Depending on your TCAS altitude filter, which can be

NORMAL (relative to your altitude from -2000ft to +2000ft) ABOVE (relative to your altitude from -2000ft to +9900ft) BELOW (relative to your altitude from +2000ft to -9900ft)

you can see all targets. All targets are continuously sensed and checked for some nearing criteria and categorized to 4 types of targets, these are:

other traffic, blue unfilled diamond, fitting the altitude filter applied proximate traffic, within 6NM and within +/-2000ft of own altitude, blue filled diamond TA traffic advisory, traffic violating an distance/altitude zone in less 40 seconds, amber filled round symbol and a aural "TRAFFIC,TRAFFIC" annunciation RA traffic resolution advisory, traffic violating an distance/altitude zone in less 25 seconds, read filled square symbol and aural and visual resolution advisory, see table below

RESOLUTION ADVISORY is a calculated flight path that avoids a collision with the target. These advisories are only vertical, so a change in vertical speed. In case of a RA came up, the VS indication and the pitch cue are marked with the target flightpath for a fast and easy following and so collision avoiding. The VS tape has red and green markings, the needle should be adjusted to keep within the green area. Same for pitch cue, pitch resulting in dangerous vertical speed is marked red, you simply have to keep outside of the red pitch area to avoid collision. Upcoming RA or changing resolution vertical speed/pitch values are also aural alerted by voice. See the following table for these announcements. TCAS RA paths are normally as calculated as to never be on same altitude as long as closing each other. E.g. the target is descending towards you from above TCAS RA will result in a descent and so you never are on same altitude until the target has passed you. But in some cases, better path performance and separation can be achieved if the RA path results in opposite direction and forces a "crossing" resolution. That means that target will get same altitude during the resolution path progress. This case is additionally announced in the aural resolution advisory.

This mode has a submode which is less sensitive during approach and initial climbout, which is enabled by three conditions: - flaps are in landing configuration (25/42) - within +/- 2 dots of a ILS signal - 60 seconds after liftoff 3. Altitude loss after Takeoff This mode provides alerts for altitude loss after takeoff or during go around. The aural DON'T SINK DON'T SINK! is called out and GPWS light comes on. 4. Unsafe terrain clearance This mode has 3 submodes,and warns you of wrong configuration, such as flaps and gear. If you descent below a certain threshold in clean configuration with more than 190kts you get a aural callout TOO LOW TERRAIN, if you are below 190kts and no Landing gear extended you get a TOO LOW GEAR and if you are below 159kts with no flaps extended you get a TOO LOW FLAP. Additionally you get a TOO LOW TERRAIN after takeoff when you do gain extensive low terrain clearance. 5. Below Glideslope If you are below glideslope, this mode is active in two stages. The soft stage gives a medium volume GLIDESLOPE! aural announcement when 2 dots below glideslope and above 300ft RA. Below 300ft RA and below 2 dots a loud GLIDESLOPE! is called out. The soft alert is inhibited when normally above 1000ft RA, and above 500ft when LOC deviation is more than 2 dots. 6. Excessive Bank Angle Alerting and Altitude Callouts The Altitude callouts provide aural RA announcement in the final approach phase, which are MINIMUMS at decision height, and callouts for 500,100,50,40,30,20,10 feet RA. The bank angle alerting provides a BANK ANGLE BANK ANGLE! aural callout when a excessive bank angle (depending on height but > 200ft RA at +/- 40 bank) is detected. If the excessive bank is topped by another 20% of bank another callout is given. If again 20% of bank are exceeded the callout is continuous.

TERRAIN Display in ND provides relative terrain display and alerting. Since this system has no direct access to the data units, its terrain image can only be fed into the system via the WXR channel. So its required to switch on the WXR to draw terrain, although terrain is a pure database image which is not actually scanned from outside or something like that. Its just a GPS position that draws a database terrain height in the ND at the current aircraft position.

TAWS image is NOT rated for navigation Terrain image is not rated to navigate through valleys in bad visibility conditions or similar. Its just a relative database based terrain image! Its no replacement for IFR navaids or RNAV navigation.

Terrain Display has 2 modes, once the proximity mode is automatically entered when highest terrain in drawing area is within 2000ft below aircraft (low relative altitude): (1) Maximum Terrain Altitude in 100ft and relative altitude color (2) Minimum Terrain Altitude in 100ft and relative altitude color Altitude color Code: >2000ft above Aircraft: solid red >1000ft above Aircraft solid yellow >500ft below Aircraft altitude medium yellow <500ft below Aircraft altitude medium green TERRAIN display at LOWI (Innsbruck) RW08 @5000ft <1000ft below Aircraft altitude low green MSL <2000ft below Aircraft altitude black

They possible phantom waypoints are: (LIM) this waypoints marks the position where the aircraft reaches the speed limit altitude of normally 10000ft(250kts). The altitude and the speed limit can be altered, but mostly its 250/10000. Anyway if you select CLR into LSKL or LSKR of a (LIM) waypoint you delete it and so cancel the speed limitation. (T/C) top of climb, at this position the aircraft reaches the cruise altitude. Remember this is calculated based on the computed path of the FMC and not on the actual vertical speed of the aircraft. If heavy wind is present or weight setup is wrong, this can significantly differ from real top of climb. If you do a vertical revision on that point, so entering /350 in the LSKR then the cruise altitude is changed to FL350. (T/D) top of descent, where the vertical idle thrust profile starts to fit the programmed descent path and maintaining descent constraints. (LEVEL) at this point the aircraft reaches the FMP altitude, so the altitude set in the AFCAS altitude window. (FLXXX) at this point the aircraft reaches the altitude set in the TACTICAL page prediction field. (FL240) means here you reach FL240 as set in the LSK1R in TACT page.

TACTICAL MODE page

The progress page displays a summery of the actual flight status. The title states the current flight phase. The navaid remote tuning is used by FMC to correct the IRS position along the flight and guarantee the position integrity. The small letters state the frequency where the large fonts state the VOR-DME identifier. When the frequency is prefixed by a A the frequency is automatically tuned by FMC. When the frequency is prefixed by a R the frequency is remotely tuned by the pilot here, by selecting a identifier or a frequency into LSK6L/R. A remote tuning can be released by selecting CLR into LSK6L/R. Remote and auto tuning is only possible as long VOR receivers are dashed out, depending on EFIS Mode and APP/VOR button setting. If VOR is manually tuned at the panel the value here is the same as the panel setting and is prefixed by a M.

POSITION UPDATE Changing the FMC position in LSK4L can cause map shifts and major navigational errors. Use caution when changing that positions.

AFCAS Automated Flightcontrol and Augmentation System


Supplying Systems: AT1 AT2 FAC1 FAC2 DC1 DC2 AC1 AC2 FCC1 FCC2 FCC WARN SERVOS CLUTCHES FCC1/FAC1 SERVOS CLUTCHES FCC2/FAC2 AC1 AC2 DC EME DC1 DC1

System Description: AFCAS is used for automatic flight and guidance via the flightdirectors and flight augmentation (even in manual flight). AFCAS is mainly controlled via the FMP (Flight Mode Panel), the current state is seen on the FMA (Flight Mode Annunciations) in both PFD. AFCAS controls Pitch, Bank, Yaw and thrust axis (via the autothrottle system) and is capable to be engaged 30ft above ground until rollout down to 60kts. The AFCAS has a number of different modes and functions described below. The AFCAS can be engaged by switching on one or both Flightdirector or/and one or both Autopilots. The AFCAS can be switched off by switching all Flightdirectors off and disconnect all Autopilots. If more systems switched on, only the one with topmost priority is in control, based on following priority list:

DUAL AP AP1 AP2 FD1 FD2

So the FD2 has lowest priority, where AP1 is in top area, so switching FD2 on and AP1 the AP1 has control. This is important for VOR following, because AP1/FD1 can only follow VOR1 and AP2/FD2 only VOR2. If you want to follow VOR2 you have to switch off AP1 and engage AP2 to follow VOR2.

FMA shows a white FD1/FD2 when in control. (2) ATS arm/on and disconnect (not real on that button but more comfortable in sim). Left click to arm on ground or switch on in flight. A green light indicates arm or on status, same as a white AT in the FMA. To disconnect the AT do a double right click on that button. (3) AP1 / AP2 engage. The autopilots can be engaged here at least at above 30ft above ground if both can engage in TO mode or at least at 400ft if only one can engage. If both AP engage after takeoff or during autoland, a change to a single mode reverts the single AP selection the was present prior the dual AP engagement. A white AP1 or AP2 or AP is shown in case of AP1/AP2/DUAL AP engagement. (4) Autopilot disconnect bar. Here the autopilot can be disconnected by a double right click. The AP disconnect sound will play.

AFCAS Lateral Modes:

Mode Heading Hold

FMA HDG HDGs

Action HDG Knob press -> select light off -> display dash (except preselection) HDG Knob pull -> select light on -> display value

Description This mode levels the wings and holds the current heading. This is a basic mode entered after AP/FD is switched on and overrides all other vertical modes. The heading window is dashed initially, but if the knob is rotated in this mode, a heading selection in the window is possible. But the aircraft does not follow this new setting its just a preselection. HDGs is armed then. This mode is used for a heading selection to follow. If the display was dashed prior the pull of the know the display contains the actual heading to follow. If a value was preselected it will turn to that value on the shortest way. If value changes are done in this mode by rotating the knob the aircraft will turn to the new selected heading in the direction of knob turning.

Pressing NAV This mode can be armed and enganged in air or on button ground. When a FMC flightplan is present and no discontinuity is present the mode follows and sequences the FMC flightplan in lateral means. Green boxed FMA when active, and blue when armed. Pressing V/L button This mode holds either a VOR set in VOR panel when respective EFIS APPVOR button is in VOR mode. AP1/FD1 holds VOR1, AP2/FD2 holds VOR2. If the onside APP/VOR button is APP and a LOC tuned into the ILS panel, this will be captured and held. This mode has a coupled vertical mode too. Anyway in lateral means it acts initially same as LOC mode, and transits to a LAND2 mode below 1500ftRA if some factors are fulfilled. 150ft RA it transits to a align phase and finally to a roll out guidance on ground down to 60kts. This mode has no own lateral mode, but holds constant heading after departure by selecting HDG hold as described above. This mode has no own lateral mode, but holds constant heading after departure by selecting HDG hold as described above.

AFCAS Vertical Modes:

Mode Altitude hold

Action

Description

ALT Knob press This mode levels off and holds the current altitude. This overrides all other vertical modes. If the altitude preselected in the window is not reached the blue ALT annunciation still keeps displayed. Vertical speed wheel rotate This mode selects and engages the vertical speed mode. It initially displays the actual vertical speed and holds it, the value can be changed accordingly. When the preselected altitude is reached the mode changes to altitude hold mode. This mode holds/accelerate to a constant airspeed by pitch holding a constant thrust as selected in the TRP. A minimum of 500fpm climb/descend is maintained. This mode can also be engaged by pulling the ALT knob when not in PROF mode.

Pressing LVLCH button

PROFILE mode

Pressing PROF This mode holds the FMC vertical path for climb, cruise button and descent down to glideslope interception. It toggles through a number of modes automatically, PROF mode can be identified when a mode is additionally boxed in FMA. When a altitude change is required you can change the FMP altitude and pull the alt knob to continue the PROF climb/descent. The descent mode need to be armed in cruise by pulling the ALT knob. It then captures the vertical profile. This mode has a coupled lateral mode too. Anyway the glideslope only captures when lateral LOC capture is within 1 dot. At 1500ft RA it transits to LAND2 when all required conditions met and finally at 50FT RA it starts the FLARE mode. This mode holds 18 ANU after takeoff. A speed drop below V2+10 or Vliftoff (the higher on is used) is avoided by lowering the nose. This mode goes into a climb, and tries to maintain 200kt and +2000fpm.

VIRTUAL FIRST OFFICER


Modes of operation: A virtual First Officer is implemented to assist and call out some useful information. You can either select only call outs from F/O and no action, then all aircraft control is up to you. You can additionally select the F/O doing some actions normally done by the non flying pilot. These are

monitor and call out the engine start procedure prepare the aircraft for the taxi check while you are taxing control lights on ground call out the takeoff run operate gear,flaps and lights when airborne, selects CLB power calls out the transition level and altitude and sets his side of instruments call out AFCAS arming and capturing operate offside controls (QNH->STD) assists in final approach (gear down at 1400ft RA and LIFTD arming) assists in go around cleans up the cockpit after runway turn off

The virtual partner follows the procedures as described for multi crew operation described in the MCM. The virtual first officer is not available in Multi Crew operation of course. He can be disabled in the FMC MAINT2 page. Maintenance 2 Page: Access: [REF] -> MAINT> [LSK5R]->[NEXT PAGE] LSK5L: CABIN call ON/OFF (chapter 9.2) LSK5R: F/O callouts on LSK5R: F/O action on
