Today we will be talking about entering a flight plan and associated information in to the CJ4 FMC. If you would like to learn more about this airplane check the other videos on it on my channel.
Videos like this are awesome! Quick, to the point, and not trying to maximise "engagement time". It makes up for that by being such a great reference, I'll be coming back every time I want to program the CJ4
super helpful, for some reason msfs wasn't automatically setting up the flight plan from the global map so this is a big help! thank you for the straightforward sweet tutorial; earned a sub
Would love to see a demonstration on how to operate the entire flight plan and set it up for ILS or IFR landing. Im new at it so forgive me if this is really easy
You showed the flight plan on the map but how can i jump from one waypoint to the next? In the A320 I can jump between waypoints and therefore can check the whole flight plan on the map.
Thank you! Great demonstration. My question is, what happens if you don't know what runway ATC will assign you on arrival at the destination airport? I like to use Microsoft ATC (will soon be transferring to VatSim), but to my limited knowledge, you can only truly know what runway you'll be landing on once you make contact with the tower, maybe 50 miles out from final approach. Can the Arrival and Approach data be entered this late? Or is there a way of really knowing what runway ATC will assign you before take off?
When hearing the atis, it informs you what runways are in use and what to except, also, when you give the flight plan to the vatsim atcs, you give them what runway you are going to use, so they would probably assign you to it, and when you request taxi, you can say requesting taxi for runway xxx
@@sfx3256Vatsim ATC may assign the active runway even if you have another one on your FP. But to answer, just change the runway and arrival via the DEP/ARR button when ATC gives you the instruction. On VATSIM you never enter a runway ID on your flightplan. When in the US you should add the requested departure/arrival, in Europe you should not file those as they are assigned by ATC.
In the real world you will enter the route (flightplan) first an only then departure and arrival. Actually flightplans will never include departures and arrivals.
I know how to do it, I just can't operate the keypad. Idk why but I'm so bad at it and just sit there staring at it for like 20 minutes, then just give up.
