Phase Criteria
At the Provided you start with your wheels on the ground this is the mode
Gate you'll begin with.
Taxi to The phase is activated once the Gate Departure announcement has
Runway been made. The announcement is usually made when you release the
parking brakes.
Takeoff The phase is activated in different ways. If you have the Prepare for
Takeoff call configured to play before or after the takeoff checklists,
the phase is activated when the Prepare for Takeoff call is made.
Otherwise, the program does its best to ascertain that you've finished
taxiing.
Climb The phase is activated the moment your wheels leave the ground.
Cruise The phase is activated as you pass 3000 ft.
Descent The phase is activated when you descend below a given triggering
height. If your highest altitude was less than 12000 ft, the triggering
height is 20% lower than your highest altitude. If you went to an
altitude higher than 12000ft, the triggering height is 10% lower than
your highest altitude.
To exemplify, if you went to an altitude of 10000 ft, the Descent phase
will be activated once you descend below 8000 ft, and if you went to
an altitude of 20000 ft, the phase is activated once you descend below
18000 ft.
Final The phase is activated as you descend below 3000 ft.
Landed The phase is activated as soon as your wheels touch the ground (which
seems like a reasonable criteria).
Taxi to The phase is activated once your ground speed drops below 30 knots.
Park
Parked The phase is activated when the parking brake is set at your
destination airport.
As you can see from the table above, the transition between phases is based either on events in Flight
Simulator, or in FDC. The flight phases allow FDC to provide you with checklists and cabin
announcements on ALL flights, not just adventures created in dedicated adventure creation software.
Note! Disconnecting and reconnecting FDC from Flight Simulator will also reset all flight
parameters.
Why does the checklist stop playing after a negative checklist response?
If an interactive checklist call is not set correctly in Flight Simulator, FDC will wait for you to resume
the checklist again manually. You do this by hitting Ctrl-Spacebar or just Spacebar depending on
the checklist mode you are using. This pause allows you to find and correct the checklist item. You
can also define a delay between the checklist call and the response on the Select Aircraft panel. This
delay allows you to set the checklist item between the checklist call and the response is played,
thereby giving you a chance to avoid a negative response. If you frequently find yourself receiving
negative checklist responses, increasing this delay is probably a good idea.
If you are unable to correct a checklist call that is not set correct (your panel might prevent access to
the item, for example), you can hit Shift-Escape to escape the checklist call and proceed to the
next one. Although the response given will still be negative, FDC will ignore it and continue.
I just realize I flew half the flight without checklists! How come?
You should always remember that hitting Spacebar when using the automatic checklist modes will
pause the checklist. If you have (intentionally OR acciendentally) hit Spacebar during your flight,
you must manually resume the checklist by hitting Spacebar once again. When you resume the
checklist, it will continue where you halted it. As an example, if you paused the Approach checklist to
listen to the instructions from the Arrival Controller and you forgot to resume the checklist again
before landing, hitting Spacebar will resume the Approach checklist even though you are way past
that phase in your actual flight.
Why does FDC ignore the settings of interactive checklist calls in Flight Simulator
98?
Unfortunately, the interactive checklist functionality will not be available in FDC when used in
conjunction with Flight Simulator 98, due to limitations in Flight Simulator. You will still hear all
checklist calls and responses, but their settings will not be checked in Flight Simulator. To get the full
FDC functionality, you should consider upgrading your Flight Simulator to either 2000 or 2002.
Why do I sometimes get an error message when using Not Listed aircraft when
connecting to Flight Simulator?
This is usually issued because the flap settings specified in FDC don't match the available flap settings
for the aircraft selected in Flight Simulator. To fix this, check the aircraft's panel in Flight Simulator
and take note of how many flap settings it supports. If possible, also make a note of the exact flap
position corresponding to these settings. Then open the Select Aircraft panel in FDC, and make sure
that Not Listed is selected in the Select Aircraft drop-down box. In the flap section that appears
below the drop-down box, make sure to select the same number of flap settings that are supported by
the aircraft. If you have the exact flap positions, make sure to select them, as the pilots will call the
flap number. As long as the number of flap positions match, FDC should be able to connect to Flight
Simulator.
I just tried to send an e-mail from Black Box Log panel, but nothing happened.
What went wrong?
This automatic e-mail feature will work on most computers, as long as MAPI drivers are installed and
you are running up-to-date versions of Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. However, we know that
this feature doesn't work for all e-mail clients in use, and if it fails on your computer, you will receive
an error message. We apologize for this, please send us your bug report using the manual guidelines
explained here.
Why don't I get multiple sounds playing at the same time on my computer?
Some computers seem to occassionally have trouble playing too many sounds at the same time. If,
say, a checklist is playing and at the same time a cabin announcement starts, the checklist may
appear to be paused. Increasing the amount of RAM on your computer will most probably solve this
problem.
Why doesn't all the interactive checklist calls work with my favourite aircraft and
panel?
FDC are designed to work with panels and aircraft that follow the design guidelines set forward by
Microsoft. However, many custom aircraft and panel designers doesn't follow these guidelines, they
may for example add custom behaviour to given key combinations. Sometimes FDC will not be able to
recognize these special designs and will be unable to verify an interactve checklist call. There are
three ways to avoid this problem. You can either change the set checklist reply for the checklist calls
that aren't checked properly, as this will disable the interactivity. Alternatively, you can hit Shift-
Escape to ignore the negative response and proceed with the next checklist call. You can also
disable the interactive calls by turning off the Master Interactive Checklist option available on the
Select Aircraft options panel.
I just finished a flight, but the flight time entry isn't correct! What happened?
If you accelerate (increase the simulation rate) the simulation in Flight Simulator the flight time
logged in FDC will not be correct. To get correct flight time logging, you should only use the normal
simulation rate!
When I use my favourite panel in Flight Simulator I don't see the messages from
FDC! How can I fix this?
Some panels will have bitmaps that cover the screen area where Flight Simulator will display on-
screen messages. Pete Dowson's excellent AdvDisplay utility is designed to solve this problem. It
enables you to display on-screen messages in window that you can customize yourself. You can resize
and move this window, as well as dock it and customize the colors and fonts used to display
messages. You will find a copy of this utility on the installation CD. Please refer to the utility's own
documentation for further information on how to install and use AdvDisplay.
I just installed a new version of Flight Simulator, and now I cannot get a
connection between the simulator and FDC anymore! What can I do?
FDC requires that Pete Dowson's FSUIPC module is installed in Flight Simulator to be able to connect
to the simulator. You should always use the latest version of FSUIPC, which you will find on Pete's
official Pete's web site is web page. If you are unable to locate a version of FSUIPC, the FDC
installation CD includes a version of FSUIPC. Please refer to the utility's own documentation for
further information on how to isntall and use FSUIPC.
The battery went flat while I was going through the Before Start -up checklist, and
now I cannot start my engines! How do I get power back?
The problem with the battery uncharging completly before the pilot has started the engines has
always been an issue with Flight Simulator. The FSUIPC module by Pete Dowson allows you to fix this
problem, however. By selecting the Provide power with flat battery option in FSUIPC, you will not
experience this problem again. To turn this option on, select FSUIPC... on the Modules menu in Flight
Simulator. Click the Technical tab in the dialog box, and select the Provide power with flat battery
option. Click OK to exit the dialog box. For further information about FSUIPC, please read the
accompanying documentation!
A new data row starting with '000' has suddenly appeared in my performance
file. Why is this?
All performance files require that there is one row of speed data starting with the weight set to '000'.
This will prevent errors should the aircraft's weight be lower than the weights covered by the entered
performance data. If no such row exists, FDC will duplicate the last data row, and set the weight to
'000'.
During my final approach, the captain called for a flap setting although the
altitude for this flap setting was not reached. Why did he do that?
The Performance Editor allows you to make flap calls in two ways. You can either base them on the
indicated air speed or on the altitude above the ground. However, by entering speed data for all flap
settings, the call will occur when the first criteria is met. As an example, let's say you enter a speed
of 90(KIAS) for F20 in the landing data section, and then specify that the F20 call should occur when
the aircraft passes 1000AGL. If your speed drops below 90KIAS before you pass 1000AGL, the F20 call
is made based on the speed. If, however, you maintain a speed higher than 90KIAS until the aircraft
drops below 1000AGL, the call is made based on the altitude. FDC features this functionality to
prevent your aircraft from flying at low speeds without extending the flaps.

FlightDeck Companion Quick Reference
The reference below summarizes the events available in the various flight phases of FDC. The way
they are started differ, based on the settings available (such as checklist modes, cabin announcement
triggers, etc.). Those events that can only be started manually independently of other settings, are
marked by an M. Events that are not timed but rather dependent on various conditions (such as
speed, altitude, etc.) are marked by a U. These events can occur at any time during the indicated
phase. Finally, the table assumes that all events available in FDC are enabled.
The actions you must perform in Flight Simulator are also included in the table. However, we have
only included the significant actions, and how you perform the rest is totally up to you. These aircraft
actions are marked as FS in the table. Note that there are many options available in FDC to allow you
to customize its behaviour to suit your flying style as closely as possible.
Events that can occur at any time during the entire flight are described in a separate table above the
main table below.

Note! Please dont click Connect yet; first you have to start flight simulator and select a
flight!
EGGW London Luton Airport. The aircraft is parked at position 1 (Parking 12 - Ramp Small GA).
Follow the yellow line to the end of Runway 26. If you use Flight Simulator 98 or 2000, please follow
the green line to the end of Runway 26. The green line also indicates the runway exit you when you
taxi to the parking position after landing.
Tip! You can open a new map view in Flight Simulator by hitting Shift -[ as an aid while
taxiing.
4. As your aircraft starts to move, the PF will call for flaps to be set to Flaps 10, which is the normal
takeoff setting. The co-pilot will respond to this call automatically, since the Virtual Co-Pilot
mode in FDC is active.
5. A little while after you have started taxiing, the stewardess will read the Safety Briefing for your
passengers.
6. At about the same time the Taxi Checklist will be automatically played. Again, as above, correct
wrong items, and restart the checklist by hitting Ctrl-Space if necessary.
Note! The checklist might very well be played at the same time as the cabin announcement is
being played.
7. As you reach the holding position short of the runway, you should make your aircraft come to a
complete stop. After a short break, the Before Takeoff checks will commence.
If you taxi too fast, the PNF will warn you!
Step 6: Takeoff
Your aircraft is now ready for takeoff. Lets go!
Tip! You can open the GPS window if you want to know exactly where you are during your
flight. Use the arrow button at the top of the GPS window to zoom the map view. You can
open the GPS by clicking the satellite icon on the panel, or by selecting Instrument Panel...
on the Views menu in Flight Simulator, and then select GPS on the submenu. Once opened,
you can resize and reposition the GPS window wherever you want on the panel.
1. It is now time to warn your cabin crew of the impending takeoff. Hit Ctrl-W to make the Prepare
for Takeoff call.
2. Carefully increase the thrust to make your aircraft move again, and roll onto the runway. Align
with the centreline.
3. Apply full throttle to start your takeoff roll.
4. The PNF will make speed calls as your aircraft picks up speed. The Air Speed Active call will occur
at 40KIAS, V1 at 50KIAS, Vr (Rotate) at 60KIAS, and V2 at 70 KIAS. When the PNF calls Rotate, you
should gently apply backpressure on the stick or yoke to raise the nose approximately 7. This
will allow the aircraft to ease into the air, maintaining and slowly increasing flying speed.
5. As soon at your aircraft starts to climb, the PNF will confirm a positive climb rate. The PF will
call for Gear up. The PNF will respond to this call by raising the landing gear. When the landing
gear is fully retracted, you will receive the Three Green call from the PNF.
6. Shortly after takeoff at approximately 75KIAS, the PF will call for flaps up. The Virtual Co-pilot
Mode will make the PNF respond and automatically retract the flaps.
7. As you pass 300AGL you can engage the autopilot for heading and altitude if you wish.
8. As you pass 600AGL, the After Takeoff checks will be automatically initiated.
Step 7: Climbing
Your aircraft is now airborne, and you are climbing towards your cruising altitude of 7500MSL. You
will soon turn to a heading of 170 to enter the crosswind leg.
Tip! You should adjust the power and the vertical speed setting of the Autopilot to maintain
a climb speed of 90 110KIAS.
1. 4 minutes after takeoff, the cabin crew will make the Refreshments announcement.
2. A short while after the announcement is made; turn left 90 to heading 170 to enter the
crosswind leg. Fly on this heading for approximately 5 minutes. You should now be able to see
EGWN Halton AB ahead and slightly to the left.
3. When you pass 3000MSL, the Climb checklist will be automatically initiated. Again, you have two
seconds to correct an incorrect item. Resume the checklist by correcting the checklist item and
hitting Ctrl-Space if you receive a negative response.
4. When you pass 6000MSL, the Altimeter call is made. This indicates that you are passing the
transition altitude, and that the altimeter should be adjusted to the standard pressure of 29.92.
5. As you pass 6500MSL, the co-pilot will call One to go, indicating that you are 1000ft below the
altitude set in the autopilot.
6. When you pass 6600MSL, the GPWS will give an audible alert to indicate that you are approaching
the set altitude.
Tip! You can fine-tune this alert on the GPWS options panel in FDC.
7. About 5 minutes after you turned to 170, turn 90 left again to a heading of 80 . You are now on
the downwind leg of your pattern.
Step 8: Cruising
When you have reached your cruising altitude, the aircraft will level off. Reduce the power and
maintain a cruise speed of 130 to 140 KIAS.
You will pass two small airports on this leg. You will first pass EGTR Elstree and then EGLG
Panshanger. When you have EGSS London Stansted Airport on your left side (after approximately 10 -
12 minutes of cruising at 7500MSL), enter an altitude of 2000 on the autopilot or begin a manual
descent to 2000MSL. Use the default VSI (Vertical Speed) setting of 700fpm. Reduce power to
maintain 130KIAS. Turn left 90 to a heading of 350 entering a base leg to intercept the Rwy 26 ILS
at Luton Airport. You will now pass over EGSS Stansted.
Tip! As there is not much happening during this part of the flight, we strongly suggest that
you read through the next two steps, Step 9: Descending and Step 10: Final Approach, as
these contain a lot of events that may occur in quick succession.
Tip! When you get to know FDC well, you can utilize the User File and Flightdeck
Announcement messages available in FDC. These features allow you to record your own
messages to be played to your passengers. While the User Files are connected to other
events in the flight, the Flightdeck Announcements can be played randomly throughout your
flight. Read more about these features in the on-line help for FDC! There are a few sample
Flightdeck announcement sound files available on the FDC installation CD to get you started!
Step 9: Descending
You have started the descent and will soon be intercepting the Localizer and Glide Slope for Rwy 26
ILS DME at EGGW Luton Airport. Speed will gradually be reduced to 110KIAS for Localizer
interception.
Note! Some of the events below (particularly 5, 6, and 7) may occur in a slightly different
order, depending on how you have flown the flight so far.
1. When you pass 6000MSL, the Descent checks will be automatically played.
2. The cabin crew will make the Final Compliance announcement a short time after passing
6000MSL.
3. Tune the NAV1 radio to 109.15, the frequency for ILS DME 26 at EGGW. Note that there are no
marker beacons for this ILS approach. Set the OBS selector on the VOR indicator to 259 by
turning the OBS Adjustment Knob on the lower right of the VOR indicator.
Note! Be sure to tune NAV1 and not NAV2 for this frequency!
4. Reduce power when passing 4500MSL and reduce speed to 110KIAS.
Tip! We recommend that you open the GPS at this time, as it will make it easier for you to
intercept the ILS properly.
5. As the aircraft passes 2500AGL (approximately 3000 MSL), Approach checks will begin. As usual,
correct any wrong items and hit Ctrl-Space to resume the checklist.
6. After about 3 -4 minutes, turn left 70 to a heading of 280 for the Localizer interception, and
continue descent to 2000MSL.
7. Once the Localizer needle begins moving on the VOR indicator, the PNF will make the Localizer
Alive call. When the needle is about one dot to the right of centre, begin a turn to the ILS final
approach course of 259, adjusting the turn as necessary to centre the needle. When you are
aligned with the runway, the PNF will inform you by making the Localizer Captured call.
8. Once centred on the Localizer and reaching 2000MSL, reduce speed to 100KIAS. Once this speed is
reached, the PF will call for Flaps 10. The PNF will respond and lower the flaps.
9. Reduce speed to 90 KIAS and maintain 2000MSL for Glide Slope interception, which should occur
at 4.5 DME on the Localizer.
10. Once the Glide Slope needle on your VOR starts moving, the PNF will make the Glide Slope Alive
call. Maintain 2000MSL until the Glide Slope needle is centred. The PNF will confirm capture with
the Glide Slope Captured call. Turn off Autopilot (unless you are making an autopilot approach
with the APR button on the AP pushed) and begin descent.
11. Reduce power to maintain 90KIAS.
LSGG Geneva Cointrin Airport. Follow the yellow taxiway to the end of Runway 5.
The flight plan is presented below. This flight plan contains only waypoints, with no altitudes or
speeds. These will vary according to the aircraft you select. We have included a flight map (created
in FSNavigator).
Takeoff on Rwy 5 at LSGG Cointrin Aiport and continue on runway heading to SPR St Prex (113.90).
Track inbound on the 226 radial of SPR(heading 046). Crossing SPR, track outbound on the 060 radial.
Switch to FRI Fribourg (110.85), and track inbound on the 240 radial (heading 060) to FRI. Crossing
FRI, track outbound on the 049 radial. Switch to WIL Willisau (116.15) and track inbound on the 229
radial (heading 049) to WIL. Crossing WIL, track outbound on the 057 radial. Switch to KLO Kloten
(114.85) at LSZH Zurich Airport, and track inbound on the 238 radial (heading 058) to KLO. Crossing
KLO, track outbound on the 054 radial. Switch to ZUE Zurich East (110.05), and track inbound on the
234 radial (heading 054) to ZUE. Crossing ZUE, track outbound on the 080 radial. Switch to KPT
Kempten (109.60), and track inbound on the 242 radial (heading 082) to KPT. About mid-way between
ZUE and KPT you will fly over EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport. Crossing KPT, track outbound on the 106
radial to RTT Rattenberg NDB (303). You will soon receive RTT straight ahead at heading 106. Tune
NAV1 to OEV (111.10), which is the ILS beacon for Rwy26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. You will cross
RTT at D26.0 OEV. Turn right to heading 211. Intercept the Localizer at DME22 OEV; the localizer
heading is 256. Maintain 9500MSL until Glide Slope interception. You will have AB Absam NDB (313)
straight ahead at heading 256. Intercept the Glide Slope at DME18 OEV (altitude 9500MSL). Cross AB
Absam Locator at an altitude of 4500MSL, at DME6.0 OEV. Note that the Localizer of Rwy 26 is offset
by 5 degrees off the runway, and the runway heading is 261. Approximately 2.5nm from the runway
(DME2.5 OEV), turn right to runway heading 261 and land.
Flight maps for the LSSG - LOWI QuickStart flight.
The table below shows the minimum altitude you should fly to achieve full FDC functionality. It also
shows an estimated flight time for various aircraft.
You will land on Runway 26 on LOWI Innsbruck Airport. There are two exits to the left, and you should
use the one at the far end of the runway. Taxi back towards the terminal using the taxiway
highlighted on the airport map below. This will bring your aircraft to Parking Position 5: Ramp GA
Medium.
Takeoff on R17 at KLAW and fly runway heading across LAW Lawton. Turn right 15 at LAW to 186 and
track the 006 radial (course 186) of SPS to SPS Wichita Falls. Crossing SPS, track outbound on the SPS
115 radial. Switch to UKW Bowie and track inbound on the 299 radial (course 119) to UKW. Crossing
UKW track outbound on the 100 radial to GREGS intersection (UKW DME19, centered on the CVE
Cowboy 314 radial, CVE DME 44). At GREGS, turn to 134, and track inbound on the 314 radial (course
134) of CVE and descend to 5000MSL. Cross ODEEN intersection (CVE DME32) at 5000MSL and descend
to 3500MSL. Tune ILS/DME on NAV1 for Runway 13L at KDAL. Cross GIBBI intersection (CVE DME 21) at
3500MSL and start descent to 2500MSL. By this time you should receive both the Glide Slope and the
Localizer, the Localizer needle should be slightly deflected to the right. Turn right 15 to a heading of
150 to intercept the Localizer near WADES, (Localizer DME 14.4). Continue inbound on 2500MSL until
you intercept the Glide Slope, then make a normal approach to land on Runway 13L. The approach
heading for Runway 13L is 129.
Caution! You may pick up an OM beacon near WADES. This is JIFFY, used for the runway 17C
ILS at KDFW. Do not mistake this for the NITER OM on the ILS for Rwy 13L at KDAL, which is
located at Localizer DME 5.6.
Flight map for the KLAW Lawton to KDAL Dallas Love.
The table below shows the minimum altitude you should fly to achieve full FDC functionality. It also
shows an estimated flight time for various aircraft.
You will land on Runway 13L on KDAL Dallas Love Airport. There are several exits along the runway.
When you have slowed your aircraft down, select the first exit to the right, and taxi to a suitable
parking position. One alternative taxiway is highlighted on the airport map below. This will bring you
to Parking Position 17: Ramp GA Medium.
KDAL Dallas Love Airport. Follow the yellow taxiway to Parking Position 17.
EGGW Luton Airport. Follow the yellow taxiway to the end of Runway 26. If you use Flight Simulator
98 or 2000, follow the green taxiway to the end of Runway 26 (as the yellow was not yet built).
There are two alternative routes for this flight. The first, marked Route 1, features an approach to
EGGP Liverpool Airport that will bring you directly over EGCC Manchester Airport. This route uses the
MCT Manchester VOR to align you for the ILS on Rwy 27 at EGGP. This is not a very realistic approach,
however. We have therefore provided you with a more realistic flight plan, marked Route 2. This
approach is much more challenging, as you will have to perform a "teardrop" turn to align yourself
with the runway and intercept the Localizer and Glide Slope. Both routes are identical until you cross
the TNT Trent VOR. Route 2 is only available in FS2002, as ADF radios in FS2000 and FS98 cannot be
tuned to frequencies containing decimals.
The flight plans are presented below. They contain only waypoints, with no altitudes or speeds. These
will vary according on the aircraft you select. We have included flight maps for each route (created in
FSNavigator). We have included an illustration to guide you on the teardrop turn (for Category A&B
aircraft only).
Note! Although the King Air 350 is included in the table above, we will not recommend you
to use the King Air 350 for the Route 2 approach. The frequency of LPL and WHI contains
decimals, which cannot be tuned on the King Air's radio stack.
You will land on Runway 27 on EGGP London Airport. There are several exits along the runway. When
you have slowed your aircraft down, select the first exit to the right, and taxi to a suitable parking
position. One alternative taxiway is highlighted on the airport map below. This will bring you to Gate
5: Gate Medium.
KDAL Dallas Love Airport. Follow the yellow taxiway to the end of Runway 13L.
The flight plan is presented below. This flight plan contains only waypoints, with no altitudes or
speeds. These will vary according to the aircraft you select. We have included a flight map (created
in FSNavigator). Click the map to view a full-size version.
You will land on Runway 12R on KHOU Houston Love Airport. There are several exits along the
runway. When you have slowed your aircraft down, select the first exit to the left, and taxi to a
suitable parking position. One alternative taxiway is highlighted on the airport map below. This will
bring you to Parking 15: Ramp GA Medium.
KHOU Houston Love Airport. Follow the yellow taxiway to Parking 15.
Note! The airport is named HOU William P. Hobby in Flight Simulator 98.
KSAV Savannah Intl. Follow the yellow taxiway to the end of Runway 27.
The flight plan is presented below. This flight plan contains only waypoints, with no altitudes or
speeds. These will vary according to the aircraft you select.
Flight Summary
KSAV, RWY27. From interception of J55, J55 to CHS, J121 to JMACK, J121 to ISO, DRONE ONE STAR
(ISO.DRONE1) to DRONE.
Flight Description
Note! The flight doesn't include information about airspeed during the flight, since this is
dependent on the aircraft you choose.
Depart KSAV, RWY27. Climb runway heading to 3,000MSL, then turn right to 075. Continue climb to
FL210. Intercept J55 north of Savannah VOR (SAV, 112.70). Turn left, track J55 (052 radial of SAV) to
Charleston VOR (113.5, CHS, inbound radial 236, course 056). NAV1 should be tuned to CHS when a
good signal is received by NAV2 and DME2, but not until established on J55 outbound from SAV.
Crossing CHS, use NAV1 to track outbound on J121 (044 radial, CHS) to JMACK intersection (CHS DME
85). Tune NAV2 to Kinston VOR (ISO, 109.60), wait for it to come alive. You should be receiving ISO by
the time you pass the DME 132 of CHS. At this point (unless ISO is received earlier), tune NAV1 to ISO,
track inbound on the 225 radial of ISO (heading 045).
Passing ISO, track outbound on the 034 radial of ISO to BROZE intersection (ISO, DME 38) and begin
descent to FL190. Tune NAV2 to Cofield VOR (114.60, CVI). Cross BROZE at FL190, then begin descent
to 11,000MSL. Tune NAV1 to CVI, track inbound to CVI on the 218 radial of CVI (course 038). Cross CVI
at 11,000MSL, track outbound on the CVI 055 radial to DRONE intersection (CVI DME 14). Tune NAV2 to
Norfolk VOR (ORF, 116.90) after crossing CVI. Cross DRONE at 11,000MSL, then begin descent to
2,500MSL, tracking inbound to ORD on the 233 radial (course 053).
An ILS/DME (LOC 109.10 I-ORF, approach heading 047) approach will be made to Rwy5, KORF. Runway
is 9000 feet long, 1000 feet threshold displacement, giving 8000 feet useable runway). Minimums: DH
226MSL, 200AGL, visibility 3/8 miles. ADF should be tuned to the ILS locator outer marker (LOM)
(INGLE, 329, OR) and NAV2 should be tuned to Norfolk VOR after crossing CVI.
Crossing DRONE, tune NAV1 to the Runway 5 ILS/DME at KORF. At this point you are approximately
31nm from the airfield. Maintain 2500MSL until localizer interception. When the I-ORF localizer comes
alive, the localizer should be deflected to the right and the ADF needle should show the LOM slightly
to the right. Turn right to 070, the intercept heading for the localizer. Upon intercepting the
Localizer, descend to 2,000MSL for Glide Slope interception.
You will land on Runway 5 on KORF Norfolk Intl. There are several exits along the runway. When you
have slowed your aircraft down, select the first exit to the left, and taxi to a suitable parking
position. One alternative taxiway is highlighted on the airport map below. This will bring you to Gate
25: Gate Medium.
4. You can save your settings in a profile. You can then reload the settings for a given aircraft by
simply loading a profile. The profile remembers checklist starting points, the selected aircraft
and checklists, flight deck call details, cabin information settings, etc.
5. Once you are satisfied with your settings in the Select Aircraft panel, click Close to exit the
panel (click Yes to save your changes).
6. Click Flightdeck Calls in the main options panel.
7. You use the Flightdeck Calls panel to enable various types of calls made by the Captain and the
Co -pilot and enable the Virtual Co-Pilot Mode. If you choose to enable this mode (it is on by
default), the co-pilot will automatically respond to flap and gear calls during the flight.
8. Click Close to exit the panel (click Yes to save your changes).
9. Click Misc Items in the main options panel. You will alter two options for each of the two
airports:
10. Although there are many option on the Misc Items options panel, the options that are most
important for these flights are related to the departure and destination airports.
i. Select an appropriate size for each of the airports.
ii. Enter the correct transition altitude for the airports (this is included in the flight
sections).
11. Click Close to exit the panel (click Yes to save your changes).
12. Click Close to exit the main options panel, and return to the FDC main screen.
There are many more options and settings for you to explore in FDC, including ControllerX, which
allows you to customize the buttons of your flight yoke or stick. However, we suggest that once you
have entered good values for the options mentioned above, you should leave the rest at their default
values for now. You can always revisit the various options panel later when you get to know FDC!
Establishing a connection
Once the correct startup situation is loaded in Flight Simulator and the settings available in FDC are
set to match your aircraft, it is time to establish a connection between the two.
1. Click FlightDeck Companion in the taskbar to maximize it. (If you run Flight Simulator in full
screen mode, hit Alt-Tab to switch to FDC.)
2. Click Connect on the FDC main sceen.
3. Once a connection is established, FDC will automatically be minimized and Flight Simulator will
be put to the front. (If necessary, click Flight Simulator in the taskbar to maximize Flight
Simulator.)
You are now ready to start your flight!
About Checklists
When the Auto1 checklist mode is active, the various checklists are either started manually (the Crew
briefing/Pre-Start, Before Pushback and Before Start-up checklists) or automatically (all other
checklists). However, you can "jump-start" the next checklist by hitting Ctrl-Space on your
keyboard, even if you are not in the correct flight phase. In this case, the checklist will not be played
over again later during your flight.
If you receive a negative response for a checklist item, you should correct the item in question and
then resume the checklist again by hitting Ctrl-Space. If, for some reason, you are unable to set
the item correctly, you can hit Shift-Escape to ignore the setting. Although the response will still
be negative, the checklist will automatically continue to the next checklist item.
At the Gate
Summary! This phase starts as the Welcome Aboard announcement is played and ends when
the Gate Departure announcement is made. During this phase you will go through the Pre-
Start, Before Pushback, Before Start, and After Start checklists, and start your engine(s).
Taxi to Runway
Summary! This phase starts as the Gate Departure announcement is played and ends after
the Prepare for Takeoff call is made by the captain. During this phase you will taxi from the
parking position to the holding position short of the runway, hear the Safety Briefing made
by the cabin crew, and go through the Taxi and Before Takeoff checklists.
Takeoff
Summary! This phase starts as the Prepare for Takeoff call is made and ends as soon as your
wheels leave the ground. During this phase you will make the Prepare for Takeoff call and
perform the takeoff roll down the runway. During the takeoff roll you will hear various
speed calls.
Climb
Summary! This phase starts when the wheels leave the ground and ends when the aircraft
passes 3000AGL. During this phase you will raise the gear and flaps, adjust the power to
climb thrust, and go through the After Takeoff checklist.
1. The co-pilot will confirm a positive climb rate shortly after takeoff.
2. The captain will call for Gear up. The co-pilot will automatically raise the gear (VCP). Note! Only
for aircraft with retractable gear!
3. As the speed builds, the captain will call for reduced flap settings and finally for flaps up. The co-
pilot will automatically respond to these calls and retract the flaps (VCP).
4. The After Takeoff checks will be automatically initiated when you pass the specified altitude
(3000AGL by default).
Cruise
Summary! This phase starts when the aircraft climbs through 3000AGL and ends when your
aircraft descends through an altitude calculated by FDC (for details, please refer to the
discussion of flight phases). During this phase you will go through the Climb checks, hear the
Refreshment cabin announcment, reach your cruise altitude, and finally start the descent.
1. The Climb checks will be started when you pass the specified altitude (6000AGL by default).
2. Four minutes after takeoff (this can be customized) the cabin crew will make the Refreshment
Announcement. (Depending on your climb rate, this announcement may be played in the previous
phase.)
3. When you pass the transition altitude, the Altimeter call is made. This indicates that the
altimeter should be adjusted to the standard pressure of 29.92.
4. When you are one thousand feet below the altitude set on the autopilot, the co-pilot will make
the One to go call.
5. The GPWS will give an audible warning as you approach the cruise altitude (the default value is
900 feet before reaching the set altitude).
6. Level off and adjust power to establish the desired cruise speed.
7. Start the descent from cruise altitude according to your flight plan.
Descent
Summary! This phase starts when the aircraft descends through an altitude calculated by
FDC (read more ) and ends when the aircraft descends below 3000AGL. During this phase you
will go through the Descent and Approach checklists, and hear the Final Compliance cabin
announcement.
1. The Descent checklist starts as you descent through the specified altitude (default value is
6000MSL).
2. The Final Compliance announcement start a short while after the phase is activated.
3. Tune your radios to the ILS frequency of the runway at the destination airport.
4. Reduce the power to maintain the appropriate descent speed for your aircraft.
5. The Approach checklist starts as you pass 3000AGL.
Final
Summary! This phase starts as you descend through 3000AGL and ends as your wheel
touches the ground. During this phase you will intercept the Localizer and Glide Slope of the
runway ILS, reduce the speed and extend the appropriate flaps, lower the landing gear, and
perform the final approach to land.
Note! Some of the calls described below may occur in a different order or even in the
previous phase, as the events that trigger these calls may occur at an earlier stage of your
flight.
1. The co-pilot will make the Localizer Alive call once the Localizer needle starts moving on the VOR
indicator.
2. Intercept the localizer. When the needle is centered, the co-pilot will make the Localizer
Captured call. The captain will then make the Set Missed Approach Heading call.
3. The co-pilot will make the Glide Slope Alive call once the Glide Slope needle starts moving on the
VOR indicator.
4. Intercept the glide slope. When the needle is centered, the co-pilot will make the Glide Slope
Captured call. The captain will then make the Set Missed Approach Altitude call.
5. Reduce power as required for your aircraft to maintain the correct speed.
6. As your speed drops and you continue your descent, the captain will make the appropriate flap
calls. These are based on speed alone, or by speed or altitude. The co-pilot responds to these
calls automatically by setting the required flap positions (VCP).
7. The captain makes the Gear Down call at the required time (the call is trigged by either a flap
call or by a given altitude). The co-pilot responds to this call automatically by lowering the
landing gear (VCP). Note! Only for aircraft with retractable gear!
8. The GPWS will start to call out your altitude above the ground (AGL) from the time you pass
2500AGL. The GPWS makes the following alerts: 2500, 1000, 500, 400, Approaching Minimums,
300, 200, 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, and finally 10.
9. Perform the landing at the speed appropriate for your aircraft.
Landed
Summary! This phase is activated as your wheels touch the ground and ends once your
ground speed drops below 30 knots. During this phase you will slow down the aircraft and
start taxiing towards the gate.
1. Slow your aircraft down by applying brakes and reverse thrust (if applicable).
2. The co-pilot will call out your speed as the aircraft slows down.
3. The captain will call Flaps Up when the ground speed is reduced appropriately.
4. Start taxiing towards the parking position or gate.
Taxi to Gate
Summary! This phase is activated once your ground speed drops below 30 knots and ends
when you apply the parking brake at the gate. During this phase you will go through the
After Landing checklist, hear the Taxi to Gate cabin announcement, and taxi to the parking
position or gate.
1. Taxi towards the parking position or gate. The co-pilot will warn you if you taxi too fast.
2. The After Landing checklist starts a short time after you landed (default value is 60 seconds).
3. The Taxi to Gate cabin announcement starts automatically as you are taxiing.
4. Bring the aircraft to a complete stop at the appropriate parking position or gate.
5. Hit '.' (period) to apply the parking brakes.
Parked
Summary! This phase is activated when you apply the parking brake. During this phase you
will go through the Parking checklist and shut down your engine(s).
1. The Parking checklist starts automatically shortly after the parking brake is set.
2. Shut down the engine(s).
End of Flight
This marks the end of your flight. You can now go back to FDC, and view your flight log entry. You can
also start a new flight immediately by hitting Ctrl-Shift-A; there is no need to disconnect FDC
from FS and reconnect again.
Using FlightDeck Companion
Using FlightDeck Companion is actually quite simple; the challenge lies in mastering the added level
of realism in your flight simulator!
FlightDeck Companion allows you to customize a large amount of parameters based on your favourite
aircraft. The most important parameters are those gathered in the Performance file for your aircraft.
There are, however, many other parameters that might differ between various aircraft. If you are
flying a GA type aircraft, such as one of Flight Simulator's excellent Cessnas, it would probably seem a
little out of order to have cabin announcements played at various stages during your flight. If, on the
other hand, you later switch to a large airliner, the cabin announcements add a touch of realism and
feeling to your flight. To allow you to quickly recall your own settings for various aircraft and flight
types, FDC features a powerful Profile feature. We strongly recommend you to study how to use
profiles, as we know this will save you a lot of work when you are performing your flights in Flight
Simulator!
Restoring defaults
You can at any time restore the defaults for FDC by simply clicking Restore Defaults in one of the
option panels.
Note! All parameters will be restored, not only the parameters on the option panel on which
you clicked the button!
Connect
Once you have finished setting up FlightDeck Companion to your satisfaction, you are ready to
connect to Flight Simulator. We suggest that you select the aircraft you intend to use and that you
select your departure position (airport and gate) before establishing the connection. Also, to gain full
effect of FDC's cockpit functionality, you should shut down the engines.
1. Close the Options panel (if it is open, that is...)
2. Start Flight Simulator, and select the aircraft and departure location (airport and gate).
(Optional: Shut down the engines.)
3. Click FDC on the task bar (or hit Alt-Tab on your keyboard, and select FDC on the task menu).
4. Click Connect in the FDC main window.
5. If the connection is successful, the FDC main window will automatically be minimized and Flight
Simulator will be brought to front.
FDC will attempt to establish a connection to the flight simulator, and if it succeeds, the message
CONNECTED will appear in the connection status area.
Note! While FDC is connected to the flight simulator, all option panels will be unavailable
for input. You are only allowed to work with the controller assignments while connected.
You can adjust the volume mix in FDC at any time, even while FDC is connected to Flight Simulator,
by clicking Volumes in the main window.
Disconnect
To disconnect FDC from the flight simulator:
1. Click Disconnect in the FDC main window.
2. Click Yes to confirm the disconnection, or click No to stay connected to the flight simulator.
FDC will drop the connection to the flight simulator, and the message NOT CONNECTED will appear in
the connection status area.
Note! All flight parameters used to detect the active flight phase will be reset when FDC is
disconnected from the flight simulator. If you are in the middle of a flight, you run the risk
of having to fly the rest of the flight without FDC realism.
Changing hotkeys
You can easily change the hotkeys in FDC:
1. In the FDC main window, click Options.
2. In the Main Options Panel, click Hotkey Setup.
3. In the Hotkey Setup panel, select the hotkey you would like to change in the Current Hotkeys list
on the left.
4. Click Change Hotkey.
5. Hit the key(s) you wish to use, and click Assign.
6. Confirm (or reject) the change.
Note! The hotkey setup is not saved when you save a profile.
You find a summary of hotkeys here.
Hotkey Summary
Hotkey Action
SPACEBAR Step through each checklist call when in Manual checklist mode.
If you are in Auto 1, Auto 2, or Semi-Auto checklist modes, hitting
SPACEBAR will temporarily pause the checklist being played. To
resume the checklist, hit SPACEBAR once again.
CTRL-SHIFT-\ Skip the next Flight Deck Announcement without reading it.
Log Files
The log files from FDC will be saved to the Logs folder under the FDC installation path. By default,
this path will be C:\Program Files\FDC\Logs
The Flight Time log files will be saved as fdc_flight.log.
The Black Box log files will be saved as Blackbox.log. In addition to the last log file, FDC will also
keep the three previous flights. These will be named Blackbox.log.1, Blackbox.log.2, and
Blackbox.log.3, which is the oldest log file.
About display messages in FlightDeck Companion
FlightDeck Companion will present information to you while you are flying in Flight Simulator. FDC
will display different information to you as the flight progress. The information is pretty self-
explanatory, and is easily understandable when displayed.
You can display the last message from FDC once again by hitting Ctrl-Shift-M. This allows you to
recall a message if you for some reason should have missed it.
You can also customize the time the messages are visible in Flight Simulator, as well as turn them
completely off.
1. In FDC main window, click Options.
2. In the Main Options panel, click Misc Items.
3. Under FDC system operation settings, there are checkboxes for Takeoff data, Cruise data, and
Landing data. Select the messages to display in FDC. Enter the number of seconds to display each
message.
Note! If you enter 0 seconds, the message will be displayed constantly.
4. Click Save Changes and Close to exit the panel.
Message Description
Takeoff data This message is displayed as you enter the Taxi flight phase, and contains
speed data for various flap settings.
Cruise data This message is displayed as you enter the Cruise flight phase, and contains
speed data.
Landing data This message is displayed as you enter the Finals phase, and contains speed
data for various flap settings.
Miscellaneous You will receive an on-screen notification when FDC successfully connects to
Flight Simulator; if you have received a negative checklist response; and if
you have to turn on the fuel flow for the engine(s).
Error Hopefully you will not receive these, but should FDC fail for some reason, you
messages will be notified by a message in Flight Simulator.
Volume controls
There are seven volume controls in the FDC Sound Controls panel. These are described below.
Volume Sound
Captain The volume of the captain's voice.
Co -pilot The volume of the co-pilot's voice.
Engineer The volume of the engineer's voice.
Cabin crew The volume of the cabin announcements.
GPWS The volume of the GPWS warnings.
ATC Chatter The volume of the ATC chatter (available by selecting the Airport
(air/ground) traffic ambience option on the Misc Items panel).
Airport ambience The volume of the airport ambience (available by selecting the Airport
(air/ground) traffic ambience option on the Misc Items panel).
Note! In the unlikely event that you should actually crash your aircraft, FDC will disconnect
from Flight Simulator and reset all flight parameters.
Note! Functionality in FDC that is dependent on the data entered in the Performance file,
will be disabled when you use the Not Listed aircraft. This mainly concerns flap calls during
takeoff and approach.
The captain
In a real aircraft, the captain has the final word on all decisions being made on the flightdeck. Usually
the captain will check each item on the checklist as the co-pilot reads them from the checklist.
In FDC you can disable (or enable) groups of calls made by the captain, or you can "switch him off"
altogether. In addition, you define the altitude at which the captain makes the Climb thrust call.
The co-pilot
The co-pilot will, amongst other tasks, usually read you through the checklists (although you are free
to decide who should read the checklist when you create your own checklists), make flap calls, and
make the speed calls at take off.
You can enable or disable the co-pilot entirely, or you can enable or disable a group of calls that
should be made.
The co-pilot is also responsible for making the Prepare for take-off call to your cabin crew. You have
several options for enabling this call.
l Hotkey: The call is made when you hit the hotkey (same as Turbulence Warning hotkey).
l Auto: The call is armed when you stop the aircraft after taxiing from the terminal. The call is
played the moment the aircraft starts moving again, assuming that you are now rolling onto the
runway and ready to take off.
l Before takeoff checks: The announcement is made immediately before you start the takeoff
checklist.
l After takeoff checks: The announcement is played once the before takeoff checklist is complete.
You should select the option that best suits your taxiing habits. If you for various reasons have to start
and stop your aircraft several times while taxiing (as a result of other airport traffic or similar), one
of the two last options might be good, since they prevent the announcement from being armed far
too early.
Note! Using the hotkey to trigger the announcement also provides an easy way to set FDC in
the Ready for takeoff phase. This allows you to start the flight in a quick way.
The engineer
New electronics and more technically advanced cockpits have more or less made the engineer
superfluous in modern airliners. However, on old, large airliners, the cockpit crew usually included an
engineer to take care of technical and navigational tasks. In FDC, the engineer is present if you select
the Boeing 747-200 Jumbo Jet. The engineer will also be available in any performance file you add
having three crew members.
As for the other cockpit crew members, you can select which calls the engineer should make, or
"switch him off" altogether.
Semi-Auto
If you select the Semi-Auto mode, the checklists will be detached from the flight phases, and you can
scroll through the various checklists by using the hotkeys ( Ctrl-Spacebar to scroll forward and
Ctrl-Shift-Spacebar to scroll back). However, the checklists themselves will be played
automatically, and you only have to start the checklist again (by hitting Ctrl-Spacebar) when you
have received a negative checklist response.
Note! If you select the Semi-Auto or Manual checklist modes, the checklists will no longer
be attached to the flight phases.
Manual
If you select the Manual mode, the checklists will be detached from the flight phases, exactly as for
Semi-Auto mode. You can use the hotkeys to scroll through the checklists. However, you also need to
hit Spacebar to advance through the checklist calls. The Manual mode also lets you scroll through
the individual checklist calls (hit Ctrl-Spacebar for the previous and Spacebar for the next
checklist call).
After The checklist is run after a given altitude or after a given time delay, depending
takeoff on which of the two occurred last.
As an example, assume that you enter an altitude of 3000 ft and a time delay of
60 seconds. If you reach 3000 ft in 30 seconds, you must wait another 30
seconds for the checklist to start. However, if you reach 3000 ft in 90 seconds,
the checklist will start as soon as this altitude is reached.
Climb The checklist is run when the aircraft has reached a given altitude.
Descent The checklist is run when the aircraft has reached a given altitude.
Approach The checklist is run when the aircraft has reached a given altitude.
After The checklist is run after the flaps have been raised. Specify a time delay in
landing seconds.
Parking The checklist is run when the aircraft comes to a complete stop at the gate
after taxiing from the runway at the destination airport. The checklist is
activated when the parking brake is applied.
Flightdeck calls
Checklists as described in the previous topics are the most important flightdeck calls available in
FlightDeck Companion. However, there are other calls as well; FDC adds cockpit realism by
introducing proper flap calls, takeoff calls, etc. These calls are triggered by events in the simulator,
such as the speed of your aircraft, the altitude, etc. The various categories of flightdeck calls are
summarized in the table at the bottom of this page.
Note! The Takeoff Flight Phase is activated when the co-pilot makes the Prepare for takeoff
call. Using the hotkey to make the call therefore constitutes a way of "jump starting" the
Takeoff flight phase, should you so wish.
Variation Call
1 Captain: "Flap 10"
Co-pilot: "Flap 10"
2 Captain: "Flap 10"
Co-pilot: "Flap 10 selected"
Co-pilot: "Flap 10 set"
Touch-and-go
Pilots of smaller aircraft frequently perform Touch'N'Gos at various airports. When you perform a
Touch'N'Go, FDC will follow you, and automatically return to the Descent phase as you take off from
the runway again. The After Takeoff and Climb checks will be played over again, and as you descend
to make your approach to another airport, the Approach checklist will once again play automatically
(if you are using the Auto checklist mode).
Announcement Description
Welcome aboard The announcement is played when you hit Ctrl-Shift-A (if you have
selected the Manual start-up option) or shortly after the connection to
Flight Simulator is established (if you have selected the Auto start-up
option).
Prepare for gate The announcement is played immediately after you have released the
departure parking brake.
Safety briefing The safety briefing is played a given time delay after you have started to
taxi towards the runway holding position (time delay entered in seconds
on the Cabin Info panel).
Refreshments The announcement is played a given time delay after your aircraft has
left the ground. The time delay is entered in minutes on the Cabin Info
panel. In addition, FDC must be in the Cruise flight phase (read more
about flight phases).
Descent (Final The announcement is played when FDC has determined that your aircraft
compliance) has started its descent towards your destination airport (read more
about flight phases).
Taxi to terminal The final announcement is played approximately 30 seconds after the
speed of your aircraft has dropped below 25 knots.
Note! Setting the timing parameter to 0 means you turn the given user file off. Since the
user files are blank when you install FDC, all the parameters will be set to 0 initially.
User Description
File
1 The message is played the specified time interval after the first cabin announcement
(Welcome aboard) is made.
2 The message is played the specified time interval after the second cabin
announcement (Prepare for gate departure) is made.
3 The message is played the specified time interval after the third cabin
announcement (Security briefing) is made.
4 The message is played the specified time interval after the fourth cabin
announcement (Refreshments) is made.
5-11 The message is played the specified time interval after the previous user file has
been played.
12 The message is played the specified time interval after the parking brake has been
set after taxiing to the terminal at the destination airport.
Note! This time interval is given in seconds, not minutes!
The user files that are timed after events other than other user messages, can be handled
individually. Thus, you can, if you wish, include user file 1, 3, and 12.
If one or more of the user files should overlap, FDC will queue the messages and play them in rapid
succession.
Note! When you record user files, please use the format 11025, 8 bit, mono to ensure
compatibility throughout FDC.
An example...
Let's say you want to record your own message that is to be played three minutes after the fourth
cabin announcement (Refreshments) has been made. This is done by recording a new user04.wav and
copy it into the correct folder. The steps to this procedure are presented below.
1. Record your message using Sound Recorder in Windows, or similar recording software. Once you
are satisfied with your recording, save it.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Locate FDC's wav folder (default path C:\Program Files\FDC\Wav).
4. Rename the default FDC user file (user04.wav) to a suitable backup name, or create a backup
copy somewhere on your hard disk.
5. Copy the recording you made above to the Wav folder, and rename it to user04.wav.
6. Open FDC, or switch to it if it is already running. Note! You must be disconnected from Flight
Simulator to perform the steps below.
7. In the FDC main window, click Options.
8. In the Main Options panel, click User Files.
9. Enter the number 3 in the text box after Play File 04. The line should now read the following:
Play File 04 3 mins after 'Cruise' msg
10. Click Save Changes and Close to save your changes and close the panel.
11. Click Close in the Main Options panel to return to FDC main window.
12. Connect to Flight Simulator. The user message will be played three minutes after the 'Cruise'
announcement (a.k.a. Refreshments) have been made.
Note! Please ensure that you rename the user files correctly, including the preceding '0' for
user file 1 to 9. These files should be named user01.wav, user02.wav, etc. rather than
user1.wav, user2.wav, etc.
About flight deck announcements
In addition to the 12 user files that will be played automatically based on timed triggers during your
flight, FlightDeck Companion also supports up to 99 Flight deck announcements that can be played
randomly during your flight. These files your own recordings or selections could perhaps be the
Captain's in-flight chat to his passengers, explanations for unusual events, etc. The flight deck
announcements are stored in strict numerical order, and when you hit the appropriate hotkey, the
next message is played. You can, if you wish, skip the next message in the queue. When the last
available file has been played, FDC loops back to the beginning of the list, and starts over again.
FDC also features direct shortcut keys for the 26 first Flight deck announcements in your set. You can
play the first announcement by hitting Ctrl-\-A, the second by hitting Ctrl-\-B, the third by
hitting Ctrl-\-C, and so on. The 26th announcement is played by hitting Ctrl-\-Z.
Note! You can play Flight deck announcements at any time in your flight, even before the
first cabin announcement has been made.
An example...
To add flight deck announcements (such as information to passengers about delays, welcome on
messages from the captain, etc.) to a medium haul flight, follow the steps below.
1. Record your message using Sound Recorder in Windows, or similar recording software. Once you
are satisfied with your recording, save it.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Locate FDC's wav folder (default path C:\Program
Files\FDC\FD_User_Announcements\Medium_Haul).
4. Copy the recordings you made above to the Medium_Haul folder, and rename them to fd01.wav,
fd02.wav, etc.
5. Open FDC and Flight Simulator, and establish a connection.
6. When you have reached the point in the flight where you would like to play your announcement,
hit Ctrl-\.
7. Repeat the last step for all your messages, playing them at the appropriate time during your
flight. You can skip a message by hitting Ctrl-Shift-\, or replay a message by hitting Shirt-
\.
Note! Be sure to name the Turbulence warning message fd00.wav, and place it in the Wav
folder (default would be C:\Program Files\FDC\Wav
A Turbulence warning message could be something like
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I'm afraid we have a little unsettled weather
ahead, so I would suggest you all please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
If you want to use the Turbulence warning message on your flights, you must record your own
message, and save it in under the file name and path stated above.
About the GPWS
FlightDeck Companion features a built-in Ground Proximity Warning System GPWS for short. Some
panels already support a GPWS, in which case you can easily disable FDC's GPWS on the GPWS panel.
The GPWS produces audible warnings and alerts when various events occur in the simulator. While
most of the features such as Low terrain and Bank angle warnings are not connected to the flight
phases of FDC, features related to the landing and final approach of the aircraft such as altitude
readings will only be activated when FDC is in the Approach or Landing phases.
Landing Calls
The GPWS will call your altitude as you descend to land. The calls start at 2500 ft above the ground,
provided FDC is in the Approach phase. If you're flying an aircraft with a three-man crew, the
engineer will make these calls rather than the GPWS (which in a real aircraft are automated, pre-
recorded calls).
In addition, the GPWS will alert you when you have reached the Decision Height by making the
Minimums call. The decision height is the latest point at which you can perform a missed approach;
when passing this height, you will have to land no matter what!
When you are intercepting an ILS localizer beam, the GPWS will make this call as the localizer (ILS
tuned on VOR1) starts moving. The call is only made when FDC is in the Approach or Finals phase, and
when your altitude is below the specified altitude on the GPWS panel.
Miscellaneous Calls
These calls are the Bank Angle and the Low Terrain Warning calls. The Bank Angle call is made when
your bank angle exceeds the angle entered in the Bank Angle box.
The Low Terrain Warning message warns you when the altitude measured by the radio altimeter
drops below the altitude entered in the Low Terrain Warning box below. The radio altimeter will
always measure the distance between the belly of the aircraft and the terrain below. The warning
will only occur, however, when the aircraft's gear is in the up position.
If you set either of the two parameters above to zero, the calls are effectively turned off.
Alternatively, you can disable both of the calls by deselecting the Misc Calls option.
Airport ambience
Ever paid any attention to the difference in background noise between various airports? Usually, the
background noise will differ between airports of a different size, simply because of the distance to
the runway, the size of the aircraft served by the airport, and the frequency of departures and
arrivals. To create a realistic background ambience for your airports, FDC allows you to select the
size of your departure and destination airports individually. Based on your selection, FDC plays airport
ambience that suits an airport of that type. You can select between Small, Medium, and Large airport
size. FDC also allows you to control the interval (in seconds) between files being played. You can turn
airport ambience on and off on the Misc Items panel under Options in FDC.
ATC Chatter
Air Traffic Control (ATC) Chatter is the communication going on between the air traffic controllers in
the various sectors, and the pilots of the aircraft passing through that sector. FDC offers an extensive
ATC Chatter functionality allowing you to
l add different ATC chatter based on geographic location;
l add different ATC chatter based on the current flight phase of your flight;
l select between ATC from various geographic areas during your flight;
l select ATC chatter based on the frequency set on the COM1 radio in flight simulator.
FDC doesn't contain any ATC chatter sound files by default. Adding ATC chatter files to FDC is simply a
matter of copying your own favourite chatter files to the appropriate folder in the FDC folder
structure. You will be able to find an extensive collection of ATC chatter files on the Internet, at one
of the large file libraries dedicated to Flight Simulator.
Geographical areas
You can sort your ATC chatter files based on the region in which they are recorded. FDC supports the
following geographical areas: Western US, Central US, Eastern US, Latin America, South America,
Canada & Alaska, Europe (West), Europe (East), Middle East/Asia, Africa, Pacific, and South Pacific.
You should organize the ATC chatter files according to these geographic areas, as well as for the
flight phases (as described below).
When you specify your flight, you can specify the geographic area for your departure and destination
airport, as well as for three different enroute areas. This allows you to perform long haul flights that
cover various geographic areas, and still get the correct ATC chatter for the area you are currently
flying over. While the ATC chatter for the airports are controlled by the various ATC chatter phases
described below, you manually control which of the three enroute areas to play by hitting the
shortcut key Ctrl-Shift-X. FDC will start using files for the geographic area specified in Enroute
1, and advance to the next when you hit the shortcut. This also means that if you perform a flight
within one geographic area only, you obviously don't have to specify the two other enroute areas.
Phase Criteria
Departure This phase is active from the start of your flight.
Ground
Departure This phase is activated as soon as FDC has decided you are ready for takeoff.
Tower
Departure This phase is activated as soon as you climb through 3000 ft.
Enroute This phase is activated as soon as you climb through 7000 ft.
Note! The Enroute phase is divided into three different sections, where you
can specify different geographic areas. You advance through these sections
hitting Ctrl-Shift-X.
Approach This phase is activated as soon as you descend through 7000 ft.
Arrival This phase is activated as soon as you descend through 3000 ft.
Tower
Arrival This phase is activated just prior to the Taxi to Terminal cabin announcement
Ground is being made.
As you see from the table above, you only have to advance manually through the various Enroute
sections. The other ATC phases are activated automatically based on events in Flight Simulator.
Technically, all files copied to the appropriate folder, such as AtcChatter\Africa\Approach , will be
played when you are in the corresponding ATC phase above. Thus, the folder mentioned should
contain ATC chatter files that should be played when you are in the Approach phase to an African
airport.
ATC chatter based on radio frequency
Although the geographic sections described above will probably provide more than sufficient
functionality and variation for most users, FDC provides one more level of ATC chatter customisation.
This feature allows you to actually tune your COM1 radio to an "ATC Channel", so to speak, and only
have files played belonging to this exact frequency.
You achieve this by creating a new folder in the appropriate geographical area and flight phase
folder. This folder should should have the five digits of the radio frequency as its name. If you are to,
say, include departure ATC chatter for the tower at London Heathrow airport at frequency 118.70,
you should create a new folder under FDC\AtcChatter\Europe_(West)\Departer_tower, and name it
11870. You should then copy the ATC chatter files that you have recorded in this folder. When you are
ready to start your flight, you should set the geographic area for the departure airport to Europe
(West), and tune your COM1 radio to the 118.70 frequency. You will soon listen to ATC chatter from
the tower at London Heathrow airport!
Note! The folder names for ATC chatter controlled by frequency should consist of five digits.
You should leave out the period (.). Files for the frequency of 118.95 should be placed in a
folder named 11895.
1. Open Windows Explorer, and browse to the location of your new sound files.
2. Copy the files you wish to import in FDC.
3. Browse to the folder where you installed FDC (by default this will be C:\Program Files\FDC).
4. Open the folder corresponding to the ambience type and category to which you wish to add sound
files. The folder structure of FDC is explained in detail in the table below.
5. Paste the files you copied in step 2.
6. Repeat steps 2. through 5. for each of the ambience types and categories to which you wish to
import new sound files.
The files will be available to FDC immediately.
Note! You can easily clear all the selections you have made by selecting the top entry of the
Checklist Section drop down box. The entry is named Clear ALL Sections. You will be
warned before FDC clears all the selections, to prevent you from accidentally resetting your
work!
To select calls for your checklist, follow the procedure below.
1. Select the checklist you want to edit in the drop down box. Options are Pre-start, Before
Pushback, Before Start, After Start, Taxi, Before Takeoff, After Takeoff, Climb, Descent,
Approach, After Landing, and finally Parking checks. As the selection of the drop down box
changes, the calls you can select will change in the list below.
2. Select the calls you wish to be made by selecting their options in the list. Note that if you select
one or more calls in the list, the main calls (at the top and bottom marked with >>> and <<<) are
selected automatically. This indicates that the checklist is activated, and that the opening call
(such as "Pre -start Checklist") and finishing call (such as "Pre-start Checklist Complete") will be
made. You should also note that the list contains calls for both jet and turbo-prop aircraft, so be
careful to select calls that are supported by your aircraft!
3. You can use the shortcut buttons Select All or Clear All to select or clear all the selections for
the selected checklist.
4. To play a checklist call, select it in the list and click Play Selection.
5. Repeat the steps above for all the checklists you wish to include in your set.
6. When you've finished selecting calls, click Next Page to move to the next panel in the editor. You
can always move back to select more calls later, if you wish to!
Note! The interactive checklist feature is not available in Flight Simulator 98! All calls will
be audible, but their settings will not be checked.
As an example, the Boeing 737-400 will normally use Flap 5 for takeoff. If the aircraft weighs 121,000
lbs, the V1, VR, and V2 calls will be made at 137, 140, and 149 knots respectively. If you take off
using Flap 10 rather than Flap 5, the speed reduction table indicates that the Vref speeds should be
reduced by 10 knots. In this case, the V1, VR, and V2 calls will be made at 127, 130, and 139 knots
respectively.
Add rows to the table by clicking Add, and double-click each cell to enter a new value.
Note that the weight appears in descending order, with higher weights at the top of the table.
The first row, starting with 154, is used when the aircraft weighs 154,000 lbs or more. The second
row, starting with 121, is used when the aircraft weighs between 121,000 and 154,000 lbs. The
last row, starting with 000, is used when the aircraft weighs less than 121,000 lbs. Note also that
the V2 is greater than VR, and that VR is greater than V1. The flap call speeds decrease from left
to right, making F0 greater than F5, F5 greater than F10, and so on. The F1 and F2 calls will not
be made, since their speed is set to '000'.
4. Notice that the normal takeoff flap setting is the same as specified on the previous panel. The
setting should be F5. If it isn't, select the option beneath the F5 column now.
5. If you take off in the 737 using a higher flap setting than the normal F5 setting, the V -speeds
should be reduced by 10 knots regardless of the aircraft's weight. Since the same speed reduction
of 10 knots is used for all weights, enter '000' in the Weight column and '10' in the Reduction
column, as shown below.
Weight Reduction
0 10
Note that since the weight is entered as '0', the same V-speed reduction will be used regardless
of the weight of the aircraft.
Specifying cruise data for your aircraft
The cruise data section is available by clicking the Cruise button on the top of the Editor area. The
cruise data are less complex than the takeoff data. The table is interpreted by FDC in the same way
as the takeoff data table. The columns of the cruise data table are explained below.
(140 equals
FL140 =
14,000 ft)
CS Clean Speed This the lowest safe speed with no flaps Speed in knots Yes
extended. Reducing speed below this will result in your
first flap call from the Captain. This speed should be less CS < IAS
than the IAS.
In addition to the information in the cruising speed table, you must also enter the maximum cruise
speed of your aircraft, as this is required for FDC to work properly. You can enter this in either Mach
or Knots, leaving the other value at '0'.
Weight IAS FL CS
145 275 310 240
110 251 350 230
000 240 370 225
Add rows to the table by clicking Add, and double-click each cell to enter a new value.
Note that the weight appears in descending order, with higher weights at the top of the table.
Note also that the IAS (Indicated Air Speed) is higher than the CS (Clean Speed).
3. Finally, you should enter the maximum cruise speed for the 737. Enter 0.76 in the Mach text box,
leaving the knots text box unchanged at '0'. Alternatively, you could have entered the speed in
knots, leaving the Mach speed unchanged at '0'.
Flap calls
Just like the Gear Down call, flap calls can be triggered in two ways. They can either be based on
airspeed (IAS), and will in that case use the data entered in the table above. Alternatively, the call
can be made based on the altitude of your aircraft. In the lower section of the panel, you can select
the last flap setting that you want to be called based on the airspeed by selecting the corresponding
option. The remaining flap calls will be based on the airspeed above, but will occur at the latest
when passing the altitudes entered in the table on the lower left of the panel. The number of rows in
the table will automatically be updated based on your selection.
If we study the 737 again, the Flap 15 call is the last one that is made based on the indicated air
speed alone. Thus, the option beneath the F15 column is selected. The rest of the flap callsFlap 25,
Flap 30, and Flap 40are made based on both the speed and the aircraft's altitude. The flap calls will
therefore occur at the latest when the specified altitude is reached.
Note! This functionality ensures that you don't fly your aircraft at low speeds or at low
altitudes without extending the flaps to the required position. The call is made as the
indicated air speed drops below the specified speed or when the aircraft passes the
specified altitude, whichever comes first.
Add rows to the table by clicking Add, and double-click each cell to enter a new value.
Note that the weight appears in descending order, with higher weights at the top of the table.
Note also that the speed decreases for each flap call being made. The F2 call will not be made,
since its speed is set to '000'.
3. Since the Gear Down call should occur together with the Flap 25 call, select the option directly
beneath the F25 column. Leave the value in the 'Gear Down' Altitude box at '0', or otherwise the
Gear Down call will be made at that altitude instead.
4. The Flap 15 call should be made depending on the air speed of the aircraft, but all subsequent
flap calls should be made dependent on the altitude of the aircraft as well. To achieve this,
select the option at the bottom of the panel that is beneath the F15 column.
5. In the flap to altitude table at the lower left of the panel, enter the minimum altitudes at which
to call the remaining flap positions F25, F30, and F40. The values should be 2100, 1800, and 1500
respectively. Double-click each cell to enter the value.
6. Click Save to save the performance file. You will be asked to enter a suitable file name.
Note! Since the default performance file for the Boeing 737-400 is much more detailed than the
one we have created in this example, we suggest that you skip this step, and close the
Performance Editor without saving.
7. Click Close to close the Performance Editor.
Congratulations on finishing your first performance file in FlightDeck Companion!
About FlightDeck Companion ControllerX
Have you ever felt the need for more buttons on your flight controller? FlightDeck Companion
features a ground-breaking new controller extension that allows you to assign different actions to
your controller buttons depending on the flight mode you're in. This effectively means that you can
have one controller set-up while you are preparing your flight at the gate, another when your aircraft
is taxiing to the runway, and yet another when you are on your takeoff run down the runway.
Ultimately, FDC ControllerX allows your 5 button joystick to have a total of 50 different functions
during your flight!
The key to ControllerX is the Controller Modes, which are synchronized with the flight phases in FDC.
If you are not yet familiar with the flight phases, please read more about this here.
Note! You can assign any command in Flight Simulator to your controller's buttons by first assigning a
keystroke to the command in Flight Simulator, and then assign that keystroke to a button using the
ControllerX.
Note! Make sure that the button assignments for your controller are removed in Flight
Simulator before you assign new commands using FDC, otherwise you will get both
commands when clicking your controller's buttons!
Setting up your own controller assignments using FDC requires two steps. First, you must detect your
buttons using the Detect Controller panel. Second, you assign commands to the detected buttons
using the Controller Assignments panel. These steps are described in the topics listed below.
You don't have to assign actions to all the buttons on your controller in FDC. If you would like to, you
can let FDC control the assignments for one or two buttons, and leave the rest of the buttons to
assignments in Flight Simulator.
If you want to change your ControllerX settings later, you don't have to go through the controller
detection again. This is only necessary the first time you are detecting the buttons on your controller!
As you can see from the table above, the assignment will persist until a new button assignment is
made in a higher mode. By combining key assignments in Flight Simulator with button assignments in
FDC, you can greatly improve the usefulness of your flight controller!
7. When FDC has detected all the controller buttons you wish to program, click Finish.
8. Click Close to close the panel.
After you have successfully detected your controller buttons, you can move on to assign your own key
assignments to each button.
Note! You don't have to detect all the buttons on your controller in FDC. If you like to, you
can let FDC control the assignments for one or two buttons, and leave the rest of the
buttons to assignments in Flight Simulator.
