Engine bleeds would remain on during a shut down to cold and dark. APU bleed would be turned off before APU shut down....

[Stearmandriver]

Is the engine running? Then no, that sounds like roughly an idle indication....

[Stearmandriver]

Easiest thing is probably to just load cold and dark, set the parking brake, and then save that as a new panel state. Then every time you load up that...

[Stearmandriver]

Haha I keep saying I need to fly in Europe more. I got Navigraph mostly for this as I just use my work charts in the sim for the US... simmed in Aus,...

[Stearmandriver]

Are you sure you weren't just feeling the effects of decaying airspeed? You did look to be a few kts below ref?

[Stearmandriver]

Cmbaviator have you felt this in an airplane? I would guess I've landed a 737 over a thousand times and I never have. Yes, thrust/pitch coupling exists...

[Stearmandriver]

Agree with Dan. There's no problem with capturing an ILS from a straight in. An airplane doesn't know the difference, it only knows that when it has good...

[Stearmandriver]

What I meant was, a reduction in drag is all you feel (though you're right that an increase in lift could be considered a separate effect. I lump them...

[Stearmandriver]

Our fleet manager at the time announced that our fleet was getting this, maybe a few months before covid started. No word since; I was actually just...

[Stearmandriver]

?? Ground effect wouldn't affect taxi behavior at all....

[Stearmandriver]

I don't deny an increase in lift, I'm just saying I've never felt a change in pitch trim state, in any airplane from a Cub to an airliner. If there were...

[Stearmandriver]

In reality, without IAN the norm is to just press approach when cleared for the approach (coming from any other mode, it does not matter.) I've never...

[Stearmandriver]

There are effects that can be seen in math, and then there are effects that can be seen in real life.

Has anyone ever flown a plane where...

[Stearmandriver]

I don't know what any of them simulate. I'm talking about the airplane. There is no pitch effect when entering ground effect. It is, however, easy to...

[Stearmandriver]

Couple possibilities:

1. It's not uncommon for an ILS glideslope and a visual glide slope indication like a PAPI to be non-coincident....

[Stearmandriver]

Signing *A* name, anyway...

[Stearmandriver]

Well this certainly isn't correct. Ground effect doesn't have any effect on the nose being heavy or light. It's simply a reduction of induced drag when...

[Stearmandriver]

Basically, we're seeing the results of Microsoft outsourcing their work to a third-party contractor. Outsourcing rarely if ever fixes more problems than...

[Stearmandriver]

Yup... unless the failure could possibly affect landing or stopping, just continue at that point. If it COULD affect landing or stopping, go around and...

[Stearmandriver]

Haha true... I got to fly it just a few times before it was eliminated.
