Next time try stay lower also, that may help.
only If your loading was yellow or red, then yes
Ok. Well thank you very much for your time everyone, what I will do is try it again tomorrow, but set my cruising altitude to somewhere between FL032 and FL034. I’ll let you know how it goes, thanks very much again!
The guide to step climbing has some great tips:
You said you left the device. Anyway…
You’re flying too high, too slowly too soon. Assuming you mean FL360 and FL400 above rather thab below 5000ft.
Easy fix, do some research into step climbing, long haul tactics and correct flight planning. Nothing more needs to be discussed here other than I would suggest learning to fly shorter routes properly with thorough flight planning before moving to long haul.
No I meant I press the menu button and “End flight”. I didn’t leave the device, i just quit the flight before the plane crashes. And I’ve flown multiple successful long haul flights before and used step climbing so you are making zero sense.
So before you begin escalating this into something you dont want to by being offensive, understand what I have put.
You must have forgotton how to step climb if you decided to climb a fully laden aircraft to FL360 and higher.
You fly too slow for these aircraft
Also, flight levels work in hundreds of feet. The zero goes at the end when youre talking about anything over FL100 (10,000ft).
I never meant to be offensive, just saying that I have flown long haul flights with heavy aircraft before and they were successful.
Understand that but somewhere along the line you forgot ti use step climbing, that’s why i mentioned flying shorter routes to really get to grips with flight planning so long haul planning comes more natural and easier.
For the A380, take your speed to around M0.82 and stop your climb around FL280. From there, you should climb every couple of hours until you reach your cruise alt. As an example.
Ok. Just confused as I’ve flown long haul before like I said but never mind. I’ll try that tomorrow. Thanks!
So do you fly Mach 0.77 at 40000ft with a 777? Did I read that correctly?
If you are below MLW you should have no major issues or any at all for flying up to at least FL360 with a 777 och A380. But your speed ticks me off a little.
Boeing 777-200ER/LR and 777-300ER = Mach 0.84
Airbus A380-800 = Mach 0.85
Since you said you were flying much slower than so, that could be the flaw for you stalling. Now step climb as others mentioned is crucial and also adds to the realism of a flight. Then again I’ve flown A380 under MLW all the way to FL380 before and never have I ever stalled, not even once. What seems to be the issue as I can see is the speed. If it happens to be that you fly Mach 0.77 at FL360, let alone FL400
No don’t worry, I edited it and included it after Mags885 replied.
Ok sounds good. Thank you so much!
I usually can go to 38,000 feet in one go going from 3,000 vertical speed and reducing every 5,000ft after 15,000 500fpm, stopping at 1000fpm, so I think you should of cruised at Mach .83 or higher on both planes
Your plane might be too heavy to climb directly to the crusing altitude. I had this problem last weekend. Go look up a tutorial of step climbing.
Long haul flights still do work. You probably stalled because your speed was dropping because of your ascend rate but you only looked at the designated autopilot speed, or the auto pilot had a glitch and went haywire
If you do want to go up to FL400, before flight make sure weight is not heavy, once climbing make sure rate is ok, around 2500 is fine, then if you continue to see the speed dropping stay at your altitude or climb at a lower angle. FL350 would’ve been ok for this flight I think.
He just said it
You’re obviously doing something wrong here, your speed could be too slow, your calibration might be off, you might’ve accidentally switched your AP off, your VS might be way to high.
Actually, I’m almost certain you were climbing to fast for the altitude that you were trying to climb to, that is really the only explanation.
