FMS DOCUMENTATION
All FMS related documentation can be found on our website. We plan to create a
separate FMS manual in a future update. In the meantime, you can learn how to use
the FMS by following the Demo Flight instructions on our website.

On the Demo Flight page, we provide detailed instructions to fully load and edit a flight
plan, do a DIRECT TO and other operations. We walk you through the entire process in
our Demo Flight video. We also explain how to use the FMS in conjunction with the
EFB, and how to enter the performance data.

DEMO FLIGHT
This is the best place to start. You can follow simple and complete instructions
with videos to learn how to start the plane, program the FMS, use the EFB, and
complete a full flight starting in from Bergamo in Italy, climbing over the Alps to
then land in the Austrian capital Vienna.

Link to our Demo Flight

Once you have completed the demo flight, you can use this manual for a deep dive into
all the systems of the aircraft.

GETTING STARTED
TUTORIALS & DEMO FLIGHTS
Learning how to fly complex airliners can sometimes be frustrating and time
consuming. We have designed a Getting Started page which will make this process fun
and quick.

This is the one place where you will find all the Demo flights with simple instructions
and videos, detailed FAQs, Tutorials and more. Additionally, we are always here for you
in our forums if you need any help getting started.

All can be found here: https://www.xcrafts.com/ejets-family/getting-started

INSTALLATION
To install any of the aircraft or the bundled set(s), simply extract the zipped folder(s) into
X-Plane/Aircraft/… in a folder of your choice.

● We suggest that the folder name and path contain no non-unicode characters.
● The folder also must not be a system folder.
● If you have more than one X-Crafts product, you can have them all in one
X-Crafts sub-folder like this (X-Plane/aircraft/X-Crafts).

ACTIVATION
You will need to activate your products before you can use them. Please follow the
activation instructions on our website: https://www.xcrafts.com/activate

VERSION CHECKING
● The ERJ Family uses the SkunkCrafts updater to enable pilots to keep their
product current. This is covered on our website
www.xcrafts.com/update-download
● Every time you load the plane, a pop-up will appear in the lower right corner
informing you whether you are using the most up to date version.
● This is done with a very brief check of the online update repository and shares no
information of any kind whatsoever.

The pop-up will look like this if an update is available:

The pop-up will look like this if you are up to date:

You will also see other messages if for some reason the version checker runs into issues.
This can be anything from a loss of internet connectivity to some kind of local file error
in the updater configuration.

This message appears during aircraft initialization and then fades out. You can dismiss
it immediately simply by clicking on it. This last bit may be especially useful if you
immediately start clicking on things the second you get into the cockpit and the
update notification inhibits your mouse focus.

VIEWING OPTIONS
FIELD OF VIEW
Recommended field of view is 70-80 degrees. Change this in X-Plane under Settings >
Rendering Options > Special Viewing Options > Lateral field of view

QUICK LOOKS
For ease of viewing different parts of the cockpit, cabin or exterior, you can set a custom
Quicklook . The steps are as follows:

1. In the 3D cockpit view, set the desired view. Or even an exterior view …

2. Now press Ctrl+ “1” (or any other digit from 0 to 9). The number must be on the
number pad on the keyboard.

3. Thus stored, you now can see this view by pressing the “1” (without ctrl) on the
number pad.

4. Pressing “1” again, the previous view is restored.

5. These 20 Quick Looks can be tied to different joystick buttons. This can be done
as usual in the menu "joystick, keyboard and devices" - "Extra Buttons".

6. The saved views are aircraft specific. They are saved directly in the appropriate
directory of the Aircraft, stored as "Aircraft Name_prefs.txt"

X-Plane offers up to 20 Quick Look’s, but you have to assign the storage commands to
keys other than the 10 original storage (CTRL + ??) on the number pad.

POP-UP SCREENS
The following screens can be viewed in a pop-up view, or a pop-out view: PFD, MFD,
EICAS, FMS, EFB. This gives you the ability to open them in a 2D view and move them
anywhere on your screen, or even open them in a separate window on your computer.
This is particularly useful if you owant to permanently draw them on a separate
monitor.

PFD and MFD Interactivity

Some of the screens also have interactive spots, which allow you to change certain
values directly oon the screens, instead of using the glareshiled panel.

1. Click Spots:
○ Enable "Show Instruments Click Regions" under the View menu in X-Plane
to see the click spots.
○ Operate click spots by clicking or using the mouse wheel.
○ Arrows indicate the direction of change for click actions.

 2. PFD Controls:
○ Change any value using standard controls.
○ Swap Radio and Nav frequencies by clicking on NAV1 or COM1.
○ Tune frequencies using zones over the numerical values.
○ Toggle AP and AT by clicking their zones.
○ Adjust Autopilot Airspeed and Altitude:
■ Altitude set zone is divided into thousands (left) and hundreds
(right).
○ Visible zones for adjustable values (e.g., QNH, CRS, HDG, VVI, MINIMUMS).
3. MFD Controls:
○ Works the same as the 3D MFD.
○ Cursor changes to a cross like in the real plane.
○ Terrain Radar plugin does not render on the 2D pop-up (no fix available at
the moment).

2D POP-UP CONTROLS

1. Resizing:
○ Use the mouse wheel anywhere outside the interactive spots.
○ Use the resize area at the bottom right corner (a red triangle will appear
when the cursor is in the zone).
○ Resizing maintains the window's aspect ratio.

2. Closing and Dragging:

○ Right-click anywhere outside interactive spots to close the pop-up.
○ Hold the left mouse button to drag the window.

3. Toggling Pop-Ups:
○ Assign commands to toggle pop-ups:
■ "xcrafts/pfd_panel_toggle"
■ "xcrafts/mfd_panel_toggle"
■ "xcrafts/eicas_panel_toggle"
○ Find these commands in keyboard settings under "xcrafts" (note the
lowercase).

4. Window Options:
○ Icons for closing, popping to system, and locking appear at the top when
the cursor is in the zone.
○ Mouse wheel resize, right-click close, and position lock won't work if the
windows are popped out into a separate window.

SETTINGS MENU
This menu is intended for setting up default preferences, as it will remember the
settings between sessions.

UTILITY TAB

Allows you to set various preferences for your flight.

Direct Keyboard Entry (DKE) Key

● When DKE is active, you can use your keyboard to type directly into the
scratchpads of the MCDU. The default key for triggering DKE is <TAB> on your
keyboard, however, this key is sometimes used in other applications or you may
have it assigned to any other function.
● This setting allows you to change the default toggle for DKE to be <CAPS LOCK>

Pause at Top of Descent

● The simulator will automatically pause before it reaches Top of Descent. This is
useful if you want to step away from the computer while in cruise.
● Note: May not work if you have increased the time-speed of the simulator

Enable verbose logging

● If there is any technical issue, we may ask you to enable this so that more
information is written out into the log.txt. This would help us better diagnose
your issue.

USING YOUR KEYBOARD FOR DIRECT INPUT
FOR THE FMS, EFB & AVITAB
DIRECT KEYBOARD ENTRY (DKE)
● DKE function is only used for the FMS. If DKE is active, you will not be able to use
the EFB or Avitab.

● Toggling DKE is done by:

a. Pressing TAB on your keyboard (or CAPS LOCK, based on your preference in
the Settings menu.)

b. Clicking on the MDCU scratchpad

● If DKE is active, you’ll hear a beep for each keystroke. This is designed so that you
are aware that DKE is enabled.

● You can adjust the volume of the beep in the Settings menu.

EFB
● Clicking on the screen enables the focus on the screen and allows you to enter any
input with your keyboard. The focus is indicated by a blue edge around the screen.

● If you click outside of the EFB screen, the blue edge will disappear, which means
the focus is no longer on the EFB screen and you can use your keyboard as usual.

● In the Pop-Up EFB window, input focus is indicated by a magenta blinking

keyboard icon

Note: If the screen edge of the EFB is blue, but the EFB is not registering any
keyboard input, try using the pop-up version of the EFB where there should be no
issue with the keyboard input.

AVITAB

● Clicking on the screen enables the focus on the screen and allows you to enter any
input with your keyboard.
● You can also bring Avitab up in the 2D Popup window, by clicking on the "Tablet

25
TAKEOFF MODES
There are several Take off settings and modes related to either the, Thrust Rating
Setting (TRS), Autothrottle or Lateral and Vertical guidance. Understanding the
differences is key to properly configuring the aircraft for takeoff.

1. THRUST RATING SETTING (TRS) TAKEOFF MODES

● Unrelated to lateral and vertical guidance.

● TRS limits the N1 for Takeoff based on the setting in the MCDU.
● Represented on the EICAS engine section as TO-1 or TO-2, accompanied with the
ATTCS setting.
● More detailed information on the TRS can be found in the FMS manual.

2. AUTOTHROTTLE TAKEOFF MODE (TO AT)

● Represented on the left side of the FMA.
● Engaged by pushing the TO/GA button on the throttle levers when on ground.
● Can be disengaged by pulling the throttles back to idle and pressing AT on the
guidance panel.

Arming TO AT mode:
1. TLA (Throttle Lever Angle) must be below the TO/GA position.
2. AT on the guidance panel must be pressed.

● TO AT arming is confirmed by a white TO on the FMA.

Engaging TO AT mode:
1. TO AT must be previously armed.
2. TLA must be moved past the TO/GA position.

● TO AT engagement is confirmed by a green TO on the FMA.

AUTOMATIC AUTOTHROTTLE MODE TRANSITIONS:

At 60 kts TO automatically changes to HOLD mode, which holds max thrust.

Flight plan not loaded: Flight plan loaded:

HOLD automatically switches to HOLD automatically switches to the

At 1200 ft
the SPDT AT mode. SPDE AT mode.

26
2. LATERAL AND VERTICAL GUIDANCE TAKEOFF MODES (TO)

● Represented on the right side of the FMA.

● Represented by crossbars FD and is used during the takeoff phase to maintain a
pitch attitude.
● Deactivated when another vertical mode is selected.

Engaging TO mode:

● Engaged by pressing the TO/GA button on the throttle lever.

● ROLL and TO appears on the right side of the FMA. ROLL is the lateral
mode, and TO is the vertical mode.
● If the flightplan has been loaded, white LNAV and VNAV modes will be
indicated as armed.

AUTOMATIC LATERAL & VERTICAL MODE TRANSITIONS:

At 100 kts ROLL mode changes to TRACK lateral guidance mode which will hold
the current track.

Flight plan not loaded: Flight plan loaded:

No action. At 400ft, TRACK lateral mode

At 400 ft automatically switches to LNAV
mode.

TO automatically switches to FPA TO vertical mode automatically

mode. switches to VNAV flight level
At 1200 ft change modeFLCH.
TRACK remains the lateral mode
until a different lateral mode has
been selected.

GO-AROUND MODE
● Represented on the right side of the FMA.
● Represented by crossbars FD and is used during the Go Around phase to
maintain a pitch attitude.
● Engaged by pushing the TO/GA button during approach.
● Deactivated when another vertical mode is selected.

27
AUTOTHROTTLE
AT sets the correct engine thrust with the synchronized N1 for its various operating
modes.

Normal disengagement:

● AT disconnect button on thrust lever or

● AT button on the guidance panel.

Automatically disengaged when one of the following occurs:

● After airplane touchdown

● Thrust levers beyond the TO/GA position (Note: this is implemented only with
hardware throttles)

AUTOTHROTTLE MODES:

Takeoff mode - TO
● Armed on the ground by pressing the AT button on the guidance panel.
● Engages when thrust levers are at a high TLA.
● TLA NOT TOGA will be displayed on the CAS if the thrust levers are not in the
TOGA detent by 60 kts.

Takeoff hold mode - HOLD

● Prevents undesired thrust lever movement during the takeoff phase.
● Engaged at or above 60 KIAS during the takeoff roll.

Speed on thrust mode SPDT

● Controls the selected airspeed adjusting the engine thrust by moving the thrust
levers.
● Vertical modes related to SPDT: FPA, VS, GS, PTH, GP, ALT, ASEL
● SPDT is the active mode when the FD is turned OFF (no active modes on FMA).

Speed on elevator - SPDE

● AT maintains a fixed thrust setting, and the flight director adjusts the pitch
attitude to maintain the selected airspeed.
● Vertical modes related to SPDE: FLCH, OVSP, VNAV flight level change (FLCH
magenta)

28
Retard mode - RETD
● On the real plane, RETD reduces the thrust levers to idle during flare on landing
when below 30 ft. However, we discovered that this mode was causing an issue
for some users that have hardware throttles.

Therefore RETD currently works in the following way:

● During flare below 30 ft, RETD starts flashing, notifying the pilot that he
needs to reduce the thrusts manually. AT gets disengaged

After discussing it with real pilots, this was the best compromise we could
come up with, that would ensure the throttles get reduced for all users, with
or without hardware throttles.

Go Around mode - GA
● Automatically advances the thrust levers to the TO/GA position.
● Engaged with the TO/GA button on the throttle levers.

Limit mode - LIM

● Autothrottle authority is not sufficient to achieve or maintain the selected
airspeed.

Override mode - OVRD

● AT can be overridden by moving the thrust lever in any direction without causing
its disengagement.
● Note: This only works if the user uses hardware throttles.

FMS SPEED
The FMS Speed is a function of the FMS that feeds specific speeds directly to the
autothrottle. FMS Speed takes care of managing the speeds for you throughout the
flight, from the takeoff to the landing, which is very convenient!

To engage FMS Speed, click on the switch located below the speed selector knob on
the guidance panel. The options are FMS Speed and Manual Speed. This is only
possible once you have entered the flight plan.

The FMS Speed must always follow the Speed Schedules (CLIMB/CRUISE/DESCENT)
defined on PERF INIT 3/3 page, unless overwritten by any limits that would limit the
speed to a lower value.

The list of limits is from the lowest to the highest priority. For example, the Departure
Speed Limit (4) will override the 10,000ft Speed limit (3) as well as (2) or (1), but it
cannot override Flaps Speed limit (5) or Takeoff or Approach Speeds (6) since those
are higher priority.

FMS SPEED DETAILED DESCRIPTION

TAKEOFF SPEEDS

Takeoff Roll:

● When we select FMS Speed on the ground, the speed bug should change to
magenta, and it will show the V2 value.
● V2 will be the bugged speed throughout the takeoff roll and after the takeoff
● PFD should show yellow dashes until V2 has been selected
● You must enter the V2 value (calculated on the EFB) otherwise the FMS will set
an incorrect takeoff speed.

Positive Rate Of Climb:

● As soon as there is positive rate of climb, the speed will change to V2+10 kts

DEPARTURE SPEEDS

At VNAV CAP Altitude and below AFE LIMIT:

● At VNAV CAP AFE, bugged speed will change to VF-5kts

● The pilot must manually retract the flaps, to which FMS Speed will react.
● If they never retract the flaps, the bugged speed would stay VF-5 for the duration
of the entire flight.

TERMS:

DEPARTURE LIMIT Speeds on departure will never exceed the SPEED LIMIT defined on
the DEPARTURE LIMIT Page on the FMS. This is designed to maintain the aircraft below
the maximum speed for class D airspace.

VNAV CAP AFE (VNAV Capture Above Field Elevation) is defined on the DEPARTURE
LIMIT page.

AFE LIMIT (Above Field Elevation Limit) is also set on the DEPARTURE LIMIT page

E-Jets Family by X-Crafts | Copyright © 2024

NOT FOR USE IN REAL AVIATION

34
Example: SPEED LIMIT is 200 kts

If the pilot sets flaps 2, the bugged speed would be 205 (VF for Flap 2 is 210, minus 5
knots is 205). However, if they are still below AFE, the speed would be capped at the
SPEED LIMIT of 200kts until we get above AFE.

ABOVE AFE LIMIT & BELOW 10000 FT

● Aircraft will maintain 250kts

CLIMB SPEEDS

● Once the aircraft is above 10000ft, FMS Speed will slowly increase speed up to
the CLIMB SPEED defined on PERFORMANCE INIT 3/3
● The target is the lower value of the CAS/MACH climb speed schedule
● Changes to MACH are automatic only when using FMS Speed

CRUISE SPEEDS

● The speed command transitions to CRUISE SPEED as defined on

PERFORMANCE INIT 3/3 when the aircraft is in ALT, or ALT and the aircraft
altitude equals the PERFORMANCE INIT cruise altitude.
● When the aircraft levels off at an altitude below the CRUISE ALTITUDE, the speed
command continues to be the climb speed command.

DESCENT SPEEDS

● When the aircraft begins descending below the cruise altitude prior to reaching
50 NM of the TOD, the speed command remains in cruise speed schedule.
● When the aircraft begins descending below the cruise altitude and is within 50
NM of the TOD, the speed command changes to the descent speed schedule
and the descent CAS/MACH target is displayed.
● The descent speed command is used during any intermediate level offs.
● When the aircraft nears the speed/altitude limit (10000ft), the speed command
anticipates the speed limit and slows the aircraft prior to reaching the altitude.

35
APPROACH SPEEDS

● The Approach speed schedule is defined on the APPROACH SPEEDS page.

These speeds can be changed by the pilot.
● The speed will change based on the pilot manually deploying flaps.

ACTIVATING APPROACH SPEEDS

Activating Approach Speeds is done manually by either selecting the active

approach speeds prompt on the FMS or by extending flaps

● 30NM from the destination airport, we enter the “Terminal Area”, also announced
by the magenta TERM annunciator on the PFD
● At that moment a reverse video ACTIVATE APP SPD is displayed on 6R on the
FPL Page.
● Pressing it activates Clean Flaps speeds 210 kts.
● Another way to activate approach speeds is deploying flaps, when the speed will
go directly to 180kts.

36
GO AROUND SPEEDS

● This mirrors the Depature Speeds takeoff phase except it uses the GO-AROUND
LIMIT page for the SPEED LIMIT or AFE LIMIT.

WAYPOINT SPEED CONSTRAINT

● The FMS gives the ability to cross a waypoint at a specified speed. This is referred
to as a waypoint speed constraint.
● A waypoint speed constraint is retrieved from a procedure (SID/STAR/approach)
automatically or is entered by the pilot on the FLT page.

VERTICAL & LATERAL FLIGHT GUIDANCE
FLIGHT GUIDANCE MODE COLOR DESIGNATION
The color of the mode annunciator will define whether a mode is managed by the pilot
or by the FMS.

● All GREEN modes are manual/managed

● All MAGENTA modes are controlled by the FMS

LATERAL MODES

Roll ROLL

● Holds the selected bank (roll) angle

● Roll hold is the basic lateral mode and it is activated when:

○ The active lateral mode is deactivated.
○ The TO mode is selected on ground by pressing TOGA button.
○ The A/P is engaged with no other FGCS modes active.

Heading HDG

● The heading select mode activates when the HDG pushbutton on the GP is
pressed.
● The heading select mode is deactivated when:
○ HDG pushbutton is pressed a second time.
○ A different lateral mode is selected.
○ Armed LNAV, LOC or BC modes are activated.

● Pressing the HDG selector knob synchronizes the heading bug to the current
heading. With HDG mode active, the FD follows the selected heading and
respects the side to which the turn was commanded if the turn is greater than
180 degrees.

Lateral Navigation LNAV

● The FD provides lateral guidance commands for interception, capture, and

tracking of FMS-generated courses.

E-Jets Family by X-Crafts | Copyright © 2024

NOT FOR USE IN REAL AVIATION

38
 ● The LNAV mode is selected when the NAV button is pressed on the guidance
panel with the FMS as the source of navigation displayed on the PFD.
● The FD will not arm or track a VOR signal in LNAV. VOR tracking must be done
manually in HDG mode.

Localizer LOC

● Localizer mode guidance is computed based on PFD data. The LOC mode is
selected via the NAV or APP buttons on the GP.
● The APP button will arm the LOC (and GS) modes if a valid localizer frequency is
tuned and either PREV or V/L is selected on the PFD.
● The NAV button is selected when the GS mode is not possible or not desired.

Track Hold TRACK

● The track hold mode maintains an inertial-derived aircraft track from the IRS.
● This mode is engaged automatically when GA or TO is selected by the TOGA.
● The automatic transition from ROLL to TRACK occurs when:
○ IAS is greater than 100 kt for TO or greater than 100 kt for GA.
○ And bank angle is at 3° or below for more than 10 seconds.

● Selecting another lateral flight director mode disengages track mode.

VERTICAL MODES

Flight Path Angle FPA

● Flight path angle (± 9.9°) is selected by the FPA SEL selector knob on the
guidance panel. This mode will hold the selected pitch.
● The FPA is the basic vertical mode. FPA mode becomes the active FD mode
when:
○ The FPA pushbutton on the guidance panel is pressed.
○ Engaging the autopilot if no FD mode is active.
○ When a lateral mode is activated and there is no vertical flight director
guidance mode active.
○ Deselecting the current vertical mode.

E-Jets Family by X-Crafts | Copyright © 2024

NOT FOR USE IN REAL AVIATION

39
Takeoff TO

● The takeoff mode is a FD-only mode. In TO mode, a dual-cue flight director

(crossbar) is presented on the PFD.
● Lateral mode changes are allowed while the active vertical mode is TO.
● The Flight Path Vector (FPV) is not displayed while the TO mode is active.
● After takeoff, the Flight Director increases pitch automatically based on
the commanded speed as soon as the aircraft leaves the ground.

Flight Level Change FLCH

● The FLCH mode provides pitch guidance to climb or descend at the speed which
has been selected via the Speed Selector Knob.
● FLCH guidance is associated with the SPDE autothrottle mode.
● The selected speed is displayed in the box on top of the speed tape.
● The FLCH button on the GP activates the FLCH mode. The FLCH mode
deactivates when another vertical mode is activated.
● Although FLCH mode attempts to hold the selected speed with pitch, it will not
cause a vertical reversal; i.e., it will not command a climb when a lower altitude is
selected, and it will not command a descent when a higher altitude is selected.

Altitude Hold ALT

● The altitude hold mode maintains the altitude existing upon activation.
● ALT mode is automatically activated after ASEL successfully captures a selected
altitude.
● After ALT mode engagement at the selected altitude, change to another vertical
mode is possible only after selecting a different altitude via the ALT SEL knob, or
by de-selecting ALT with the ALT button on the Glareshield Panel(GP). This logic
is valid for all vertical modes, except for Glide Slope (GS) and Go-Around (GA).
Switching from ALT mode to GS mode may occur without change in ALT SEL
selection. Also, switching from ALT mode to GA mode will occur upon activation
of the TOGA button without change of ALT SEL selection.
● Altitude Hold can also be activated manually by pressing the ALT button on the
GP. In this case, ALT holds the altitude existing at the moment the button was
pressed, not the altitude set in the pre-select window.

40
Vertical Speed VS

● The VS mode maintains a vertical speed.

● The VS mode is activated by pressing the VS button on the GP.
● Vertical speed is selected by rotating the vertical speed thumbwheel on the GP.
● The vertical speed command range goes from -8000 ft/min. to +6000 ft/min.

Overspeed OVSP

● Flight Director provides overspeed protection during FLCH, VS and FPA modes.
● The OVSP protection limits the aircraft speed to VMO/MMO by commanding
pitch adjustments to limit the airspeed.
● When the OVSP protection activates, an amber OVSP indication displays on the
FMA. The previous active mode is displayed as armed (white) and becomes
active again when OVSP protection is no longer active.

Glideslope GS

● The GS mode arms when the APP button is pressed and activates when the
glide slope is captured.
● GS mode can only be active when LOC is the active lateral mode (i.e., the localizer
must be captured before the glideslope can be captured).
● GS will deactivate if a different lateral mode is selected.

Go Around GA

● GA mode will maintain an 8° pitch attitude

VNAV Path PTH

● The VNAV Path mode provides vertical guidance to intercept and track an
FMS-generated vertical path descent to meet a waypoint altitude constraint.
● For more information, see the FMS manual and the VNAV section.

41
Vertical Navigation VNAV

● VNAV can be engaged manually by pressing VNAV button on the GP

● VNAV engages automatically at 1200ft if the flight plan has been loaded and
TOGA was pressed before takeoff (arming LNAV&VNAV).
● For more information, see the FMS manual and the VNAV section.

STATUS INDICATORS

Although, there are light indicators above the buttons on the GP, they do not
illuminate to indicate armed or active status.

This is not a bug. Instead, it is an airline option to disable them and that is how it is on
the majority of the real E-Jets.

The reason behind this is that the pilots should only ever look at the FMA to verify the
AP status and keep their eyes on the PFD.

ILS (FMS) AUTOTUNE
OVERVIEW

The ILS autotune feature automatically loads the correct NAV frequency for the
approach you selected via the FMS and it automatically switches from LNAV to LOC at
the right moment.

This means that the pilot does not have to manually tune in the ILS frequency or switch
from FMS to the LOC source manually.

TUNING THE FREQUENCY

● The Autotune feature will automatically load the correct NAV 1 or NAV 2
frequency into the radios based on the approach selected in the FMS.
● This happens 150NM out of the airport when the aircraft enters the terminal
(TERM) area.
● If the total flight plan is shorter than 150NM, then the autotuning will happen at
50NM from the destination airport.
● There are two places where you can verify that ILS autotune is currently active:
○ The NAV FREQUENCY AND IDENTIFIER DISPLAY on the PFD displays the
active frequency in magenta

○ The FMS RADIO page displays “FMS AUTO” is displayed on the FMS RADIO
page.

HOW TO DEACTIVATE ILS AUTOTUNE

Manually entering or changing the active NAV frequencies will automatically deactivate
ILS autotune.

HOW TO ACTIVATE ILS AUTOTUNE

Autotune is on by default. If you deactivated ILS

autotune and you would like to reactivate it
again, you can do so by clicking on the white
standby frequency two times, first to select it, and
the second time to confirm the selection which
will bring you to a new NAV1 / NAV2 page.

Here you can turn FMS AUTO back ON:

AUTOMATIC SWITCH FROM FMS TO LOC

● The ILS AUTOTUNE includes a feature which will automatically switch from FMS
as the source of the autopilot (The AP is following the route from the FMS in
LNAV) to V/L (Autopilot follows the localizer of the approach - LOC).
● Switching will disengage VNAV and engage FPA as the vertical mode, with GS
armed.

The automatic switch happens if the following conditions are met:

1. PREV 1 or PREV 2 have been selected by the pilot.

○ Selecting PREV 1 will then switch to NAV 1
○ Selecting PREV 2 will then switch to NAV 2
2. The approach has been armed by the pilot by pressing the APP button
3. The lateral deviation of the Localizer in preview mode is less than one dot

FLIGHT PLAN EDITING VISUALIZATION

When editing a flight plan, for example when you are adding new waypoints, the FMS
goes into the MOD mode.

● In this mode, any new route segments will be displayed in cyan on the FMS, and
they will be visualized with dashes, until the new flight plane is ACTIVATED on
the FMS.
● If you remove a waypoint, nothing will be displayed in dashes, as there isn’t a
new segment to be displayed.

In the example above, we added EVAXI and ABTAN after MALUG, and we can see that
those two segments are dashed, and the waypoints are blue on the FMS, since we did
not activate these changes yet.

CURSOR CONTROL DEVICE (CCD)
In real life, this serves as a mouse that allows the pilots to control the screens. In the
simulator, all the functional features on the screens can be directly manipulated with
the cursor of your mouse on the screen.

● The inner ring of the knob is used for cycling through the flight plan when
you are in the PLAN mode on the MFD

● The outer ring of the knob is used for changing the range on the map.

● To make it more user friendly, we have also added a manipulator directly

on the map, located on the half range indicator, that can be used to zoom
in and out of the map.

STEEP APPROACH SYSTEM

The Steep Approach system, which is only installed on the E170, E190, and Lineage 1000
in real life and in our E-Jets, allows the aircraft to land at airports where the approach
angle is greater than 4.5°.

For example, the approach angle at London City Airport (picture above) is 5.5°, nearly
twice the standard 3° used in most standard approaches! This makes for very thrilling
and challenging approaches.

The steep approach mode dynamically deploys the outer two spoilers during the
approach to increase drag and maintain higher N1 values during the approach. This is
to minimize the time needed to spool up the engines in case of a Go-Around.

STEEP APPROACH SWITCH

● A steep approach switch in the central pedestal below the left FMS is used to
arm/activate the steep approach mode.

● When this switch is pushed, the steep approach mode is armed, as seen by a
STEEP annunciator in white on the top left of the flightmode annunciator (FMA).

● When conditions are met for the approach, the annunciator is engaged showing
STEEP in green on the top left of the FMA.

● It automatically disengages when the aircraft touches down, or the go-around

mode is activated. The steep approach mode is manually disarmed/disengaged
at any time by pushing the switch again.

CONDITIONS TO ACTIVATING STEEP APPROACH

Steep approach is available when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

● There are no failures detected on the following systems:

○ Air Data
○ AHRS
○ Airspeed indicator
○ Electric Gyro system 1
○ Electric Gyro system 2
○ Hydraulic System 1
○ Hydraulic System 2
○ Throttle System
○ Roll Control
○ Pitch Control
○ Steep Approach switch
○ Spoiler Systems

● Pitch is below 7.5°

● AOA is below 14°
● Throttles are below 70%
● Steep approach is enabled.

If there is a failure before the button is pressed the system will indicate error when the
button is pushed. The error is indicated with 5 amber flashes on the PFD and SEEP
APPR FAIL for 10 secs on the EICAS replaced with persistent STEEP APPR NOT AVAIL.
The error can be cleared if the condition that caused it is resolved and the button is
pushed to arm the steep approach

Steep approach is armed when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

● Steep approach is available (all conditions above are met)

● The steep approach switch is pushed
● Both throttle lever angles (TLAs) are less than 70
● The AOA is below 10°
● The TOGA button is not pushed or the TOGA button is invalid.
● Gear Down

Steep approach is engaged when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

● Steep approach is armed.

● Flaps set to FULL.
● Three WOW sensors indicate in air.

Steep approach disengages when any of the engagement conditions are no longer
satisfied. Once disengaged, steep approach stays disengaged until all of the conditions
for arming and engagement are satisfied.

Re-engagement of steep approach requires a pilot action (steep approach toggle

switch). This requirement prevents automatic/inadvertent steep approach engagement
and spoiler deployment.

Steep Approach Status Indication on the PFD

The status indication for the steep approach mode option is displayed in a single box
directly to the left of the approach status indication. The STEEP approach armed,
engaged, and disengaged annunciators are located in the STEEP indication window, as
shown below.
