SETTING UP THE FMC
The Flight Management Computer included in

the DF737 is a lot of help while flying. Not only is
it able to steer the aircraft along a preset route,
using a VNAV and LNAV mode, it will help us
setting V1/VR speeds and determine the correct
landing speed as well. There is actually a lot
more about it, but you will find out quick enough
when using it.
