I created N209FM from N109GE.
On central panel is EHSI Honeywell/King EFS50 and its controlling unit.
All other components are the same as in default N109GE.
EHSI unit is now in ARC mode when displaying data from FMS. This unit can also display data from NAV subsystem (VOR,NDB).
Mode of display is selected on EHSI controlling unit below.
This FMS is displayed when you click on GPS button or when shift-9 is pressed.
Unit is powered when master avionics switch is on.
Here is displayed default page - FPL with list of saved flight plans in unit.
Flight plans are saved to FS9/ISG/FlightPlans directory as normal text files with extension RTN.
I'm not sure but if I remember then this files can be created/loaded by FSBUILD2.
Firstly you enter departure airport (here LKPR), then all waypoints and last target airport (here LKMT).
After every waypoint information page with type and position waypoint is displayed and you must select correct with PRV/NXT buttons if duplicity exists. And then confirm with ENTER.
You can enter airway too. Select entered waypoint where you join the airway, then enter airway number beginning with "#" (for example #W32) and press ENTER. Then select waypoint where you leave airway. And ENTER again.
If you need delete waypoint then select it and press BACK and confirm ENTER.
Here is used route:
LKPR SID VOZ BODAL NOVUM TBV STAR LKMT
SID is standard departure route (DP is USA) and not known in this moment, will be assigned by ATC later.
STAR is standard arrival route and not known in this moment, will be assigned by ATC later.
ISG uses own navigational data (together with FSBUILD). You can download last AIRAC on his site free. Data are actual, now is there AIRAC 0709.
Warning - when you enter WPT to last item on page cursor is moved to first item on the same page and if you continue then overwrite entered data. Workaround does exist: press NXT and continue.
On picture is the same flightplan but in ACTIVE state.
Blue dots right from waypoint are ETE - will be computed when we fly.
If you click on route in FPL list (see picture #2) then route will be load.
Waypoints are inserted to our flight plan.
SIDs and STARs are part of navigational database.
Navigation database is in text files - if occured some problem then you can simply change data.
When LNAV is active then FROM and TO waypoint are displayed using colors.
See also EHSI - now is in ARC mode with FMS mode selected. You can see begin of route.
FR - previous waypoint
TO - current target waypoint
DIS - distance to target waypoint
ETE - estimated time enroute to target waypoint
DTK - direct track from previous waypoint to target waypoint
GS - ground speed
WIND - direction and speed of wind
FR - previous waypoint
TO - current target waypoint
WIND - direction and speed of wind
ETA-XXXX - estimated time enroute to destination
FUEL-XXXX - fuel needed to destination
TKE - track error in degrees
XTK - cross track error in degrees
FR - previous waypoint
TO - current target waypoint
WIND - direction and speed of wind
DRIFT - drift angle
VAR - current magnetic variation
TAS - true airspeed
HDG - current heading
BRG - current bearing to target waypoint
TK - track from previous waypoint to target waypoint
Current aircraft position, latitude and longitude.
VNAV node is only for informational purpose.
It means you need to set altitude and climb/descent rate manually by "classical" way.
In ISG's manual is some about activating VNAV with special VNAV gauge - I did not test it. And not know if real with B200.
See computed Top of climb (TOC) to cruise level.
See computed Top of descent (TOD) from cruise level.
You can set cruise level and transition level.
Current flight plan.
REMAINING - total fuel remaining
RESERVE - reserve fuel from flight plan file (FSBUILD?)
FLOW - current fuel flow (lbs per hour)
HOURS - time of fuel
RANGE - distance of fuel
NM/LB - distence per lb of fuel burned
Trip plan
FR - previous waypoint
TO - current target waypoint
GS - ground speed
DIS/DTK - distance and FPL track to target waypoint
ETE - estimated time enroute to target waypoint
FPL - total destination distance and time remaining
ETA @ DEST - estimated time of arrival at destination
Fuel plan
FR - previous waypoint
TO - current target waypoint
GS - ground speed
FLOW - fuel flow
LEG FUEL - total fuel estimated to the burned on current leg
FPL FUEL - total fuel estimated to the burned
Fuel flow
Fuel flow per individual engines and summary.
DATE - current date
GMT - current time
TAKEOFF - takeoff time
LAND - landing time
FLIGHT TIME - total flight time up to current point
Aircraft weight
BASIC OP WT - aircraft empty weight
PAYLOAD - total payload weight
FUEL ON BOARD - total fuel on board
FUEL USED - fuel used
GROSS WEIGHT - current gross weight in lbs
Maybe ATC gives you request to fly other heading (due traffic avoidance fo example).
You must disable LNAV mode on EHSI CONTROL, this switch AP to mode when you can command AP and change heading.
After ATC requests "resume direct TBV" you again enable LNAV and AP will be controlled by FMS.
You press DIRECT button and select requested WAYPOINT.
FMS will navigate aircraft directly to this point.
On EHSI you can view that aircraft is left from its (yellow) planned route. This is position after requested heading change.
See Top of descent on EHSI.
When ATC assignes STAR (Standard Arrival Route), we insert it on FPL page with ARRIVE button.
We can select runway and/or STAR from list.
We also select last point of STAR - here BOHUM.
Waypoint BOHUM is IAF. We probably will hold here and wait for next instruction and approach.
We can select this waypoint, press HOLD, check parameter (see picture).
When aircraft pass BOHUM begin hold automatically using requested holding pattern.
Here you can view holding pattern on EHSI.
Here you can view holding pattern on EHSI.
We must switch off LNAV, change AP mode to NAV, check ILS frequency and course and select APPR mode.
What next?
