That would be my question as well. You definitely should not leave the reversers deployed to a standstill; usually you'll be at idle reverse by 60kts...

Modernized navdata, yes please!!! Thanks for the mention.

rsrandazzo I made a post about this a little while back: I'm curious if you can...

thibodba57 I can't quote the FCTM as I only use our company manuals and they don't mention IAN since we don't have it. But from what I've read, the recommendation...

[Stearmandriver]

My thoughts:

1. Easily accomplished by saving / loading a panel state, as mentioned.

2. Not at all immersive or realistic,...

Well, speed intervention takes you out of VNAV Path and puts you into VNAV Speed (in reality the newer software will remain in Path beyond a certain point...

[Stearmandriver]

Hrm, weird. I guess if the green armed light is on, it's not being stowed, since a binding issue would probably stow it all the way to the down detent......

[Stearmandriver]

Cool, I did not know Delta had IAN. That's the only US operator I've heard of that does then; I wonder if anyone else knows of any others?

[Stearmandriver]

Haha I hear you .

[Stearmandriver]

As for the speed brake, If it's still not deploying even once you're in reverse, than this is likely to be a control binding issue. You might have a...

thibodba57 I fly for Alaska; I've been there coming up on 10 years, on the 737 fleet the whole time. None of our aircraft have IAN; never have. Our...

I have seriously wondered so many times why this isn't just a configurable option, either in the Ops Center or the CDU menu!...

[Stearmandriver]

Well of course, when you deploy the reversers they do. I read the OPs comment as a concern that they didn't deploy upon touchdown.

[Stearmandriver]

Crabby I actually don't see this fault either, though I've not tried to load a cold and dark state to see if it's there. I start with the APU running...

[Stearmandriver]

IAN exists in some 737s but it's not very common; I don't know of a US operator that has it. LNAV/VNAV is more capable, even on non-AR procedures (segments...

[Stearmandriver]

Just upgrade to captain, guys. If the previous crew didn't leave the plane powered up and MX didn't get it, your FO will be there first and have it powered...

[Stearmandriver]

This is an activation issue. The solution is an uninstall / reinstall. I know you said you've done it, but like others said, there are orphan folders...

[Stearmandriver]

Speed brake: if it's not deploying, you probably haven't armed it. It will never auto-deploy in the down detent.

VNAV - what do you mean...

[Stearmandriver]

I do hope this fixes the sim navaid issues and ranges.

Also, isn't it hard to slip with flaps in in a Champ? 😁...

[Stearmandriver]

727 would be my number one choice for an airliner.

[Stearmandriver]

Yes, this must exist for everyone as it seems to be part of the flight model. I've found it annoying as well. So many simmers use such a combination...
