Improving My Aircraft Endurance/Extending Range

This tutorial will cover how to extend your aircraft’s range and endurance while flying globally. (Aircraft used for this tutorial is a 787-9 loaded to MTW) (Winds Point #1) First, lets talk about winds. Flying into a headwind will result in a slower groundspeed, while flying with a tailwind will result in a higher groundspeed. A higher groundspeed means you’ll arrive at your destination quicker and ultimately less fuel will be needed and burned for that route. The opposite is true for when f…

Using lat long in a flightplan

I was poking around the forum trying to find the format required to enter lat long fixes in a flightplan, and what I found seems to be in error. All references I found indicate using decimal values to a maximum of 2 decimal places multiplied by 100, so the result is always an integer value.

Be sure to put it on scenic camera view to ensure you don’t get OLED burn in…

Simple - wake up before you land.

[Matthew_Sg]

you got the iPhone X ?! how does it feel like not having a circle home button? that must be weird…

[Matthew_Sg]

don’t you need to descent though?

[Aviator_Airbus]

[Aviator_Airbus]

You ruined the joke…

[Matthew_Sg]

[Aviator_Airbus]

You ruined the simplicity of the joke, which made it funny. Unlike you

[Matthew_Sg]

[Aviator_Airbus]

[JRRaviation]
