Hey infinite flights
I have been using the 777-300 and the A350-900 and I have been trying to set them to 36000 feet and it’s not working I have been watching videos on how to do it and it’s not working

Hey 👋
Your cruise altitude depends on your weight / load . You can’t go initially on FL360 when your aircraft is to heavy :) try FL300-320-340 with your weight and your performance will be better :)

Please can someone please help me because my A350-900 is not going up to 35000 feet
And I’m always putting it to 100% because of the 🤬 STALL STALL 🤬

Your VS is too high. You’re heavy. Lower your VS. It shouldn’t be above 3000. Maintain 250 knots until 10000ft, 320 knots above it. You are very very slow in those pictures.

Under 200kts IAS without flaps won’t work either. Accelerate to 220kts IAS with at least flaps 1 (or flaps 2 when heavy).

You are using a High V/S with a low speed, try to maintain between 2500-3000 v/s with 250kts until FL100, above FL100, maintain 315kts until your Cruise.

What %? Of speed should I put it on so then I can get it up to 35000feet
320kts is too fast. Aim for 290-300kts until FL280 and Mach climb at 0.82 before accelerating to 0.85.
Sorry I didn’t get what you mean
Hey Rhys
Seems your are not familiar with the basics to control an airplane . Don’t focus / concrete on the %
After you take off your target speed is 250 knots with a VS + 2500 … if you pass 10.000 feet increase you speed up to 310-320 knots . You will automatically reach after FL280 a Speed of 0.85 .
If you pass 18.000/19.000 feet . Reduce your Vertical speed to +1700 . And please to climb to 36.000 if you are to heavy . Your performance will decrease . In my previous answer above is a guide linked for the 350
. Take the time read it … everything that you need is inside and written down

You should set the desired speed in the Autopilot on the right side… then you dont have to worry abt the thrust setting.
Thanks Zoe 😄
The red arrow points at your VS.
The VS is short for Vertical Speed, and it determines how many feet’s per minute you go up in altitude.
4000fpm is simply too high as you are heavy - your planes engine won’t be able to maintain speed while trying to climb at the designated VS. You should LOWER this value to 2800 MAX.
Additionally, seems like you don’t set autopilot for your speed. Therefore, your speed keeps dropping until you eventually stall.
You should set it to 250 knots when you are climbing below 10000ft and 300-320 knots above 10000ft. This will give your plane enough speed to not stall out.
TLDR: Lower VS, set AP to an appropriate speed.

Just set your speed to 240-250kts under FL100 like said by others. Above FL100 increase your speed to 320kts. I prefer to do it manually to burn less fuel but the A/P can do it also. With heavy weights you should consider to use stepclimb.
Since we don’t have a climb thrust mode in IF, it’s understandable that some people may prefer to keep a constant thrust setting manually and pitch accordingly to maintain a suitable IAS. The key here is to adjust your V/S as you climb, in order not to let the speed drop by a dangerous amount (as we saw above.) Also, the N1% for takeoff and climb on such an aircraft can be expected to be quite high - a climb thrust exceeding 80-82% N1 in this case isn’t anything out of the ordinary.

could it be because your load is too high?
your speed also looks low maintain over 220+ knots
I honestly think you should try flying the Cessna or the TBM to understand the basics of thrust/drag and climb strategies before jumping in a heavy jet.
If you practice the basics in a small plane you can apply that knowledge and techniques to the A350.
And It’s how pilots train in real life too!
