IntroductionLevel-D Menu > PanelDefine default panel settings... Option to define default start-up panel settings.Level-D Menu > InstructorPause at Top of Descent Check this box to pause the program when the aircraft reaches the FMC’s

calculated T/D (Top of Descent). An arrival runway must be programmed for this feature to be activated. Simulation rate of 1x only supported.

Flight InstrumentsHeading Reference Switch

Located on the First Officer’s Panel (<SHIFT><4> or “F/O” button) and 3D Virtual Cockpit. Manually switching to a true north reference is annunciated by a green box around the word TRU on the HSI. A TRUE heading reference can be selected with the heading reference switch when outside the polar region.

NORM References each compass card to magnetic north when operating outside polar regions. References each HSI to true north and causes each RDMI heading flag to appear when operating within polar regions.TRUE References each compass card to true north regardless of latitude.

Flight Management SystemChanging the Characteristics of a Waypoint

By default the waypoints are Fly-By, with the FMC commanding the shortest turn direction to that waypoint. You can change these waypoints to Fly-Over and specify a Turn direction.

Navigation Radio (NAV RAD) Page Pressing the NAV RAD function key

displays the navigation radio page. This page displays information about each tuned radio and allows for control over frequency tuning. Note VOR L radio receiver is situated on the Main glareshield. VOR R is situated on the F/O glareshield.

1. VOR Tuning The tuned frequency and status of the left and right VOR receivers is shown at the 1L and 1R positions. Displayed for each radio are the frequency, tuning status, and navaid identification. Tuning status indicates:

A – The radio is set to AUTO. The FMC automatically tunes the VORR – The radio has been remotely tuned in the FMC. M – The radio is set to MAN. Automatic and remote tuning are not available.

To remotely tune the VOR, type the frequency or identifier for a navaid into the scratchpad and press the 1L or 1R LSK to tune it. To cancel a remotely tuned selection, press DELETE followed by the respective LSK. Alternatively, type A into the scratchpad and press the respective LSK.

In the example above, VOR L is tuned to 108.8, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identifier is BDR. VOR R is tuned to 117.7, the radio is set to AUTO, and the VOR identifier is DPK.

2. Radial Displays the current radial to the aircraft from the respective VOR station. 3. Preselect Use the 6L & 6R LSK to place identifiers for future use along the

routing. Press the LSK abeam the identifiers to reenter to the scratchpad, then press the 1L or 1R LSK to place the identifiers to the desired position.

Alternate Page (ALTN>)The ALTN page displays the four airports closest to the aircraft current position

(based on ETA sequence). Each airport on the list has an ICAO ALTN page with more data. Select the ICAO ALTN page by pressing the right line select key abeam the corresponding airport/ICAO code.

The alternate page displays the alternate airport data. An alternate airport can be selected to change the flight plan destination. The page displays a list of four alternate airports sorted in order of the ETA to the airport while airborne. The source of alternate airports can be:

• automatic selection from the navigation database• manual entry

Alternate airports automatically selected from the alternate list or the navigation database are shown in a small font. The currently selected alternate airport is shown on the map display in normal airport symbology.

1. Alternate Airports Displays the identifier of the four alternate airports in ETA order when airborne. If a route (RTE1) has been executed, displays the identifier of the four alternate airports in distance order when on the ground. You can manually enter any alternate airport that is included in the navigation database. The manual entry replaces the alternate where the entry is made and is shown in large font. After entry, the four airports are resequenced according to ETA. Use the DELETE function key remove manually entered alternate airports from the ALTN page.

2. Selected (<SEL>), Automatically Selected (<A>) <SEL> indicates a manually selected alternate airport. A manual selection of an alternate airport is made by pushing the line select key left of the airport identifier. When there is no manually selected alternate the FMC automatically selects the alternate airport with the earliest ETA. Automatically selected alternates are indicated by <A> next to the airport identifier.

3. ETA Displays the alternate airport estimated time of arrival, which is calculated based on the routing, altitude, and speed shown on the ICAO ALTN page. Blank when the airplane is on the ground and during the climb phase.

4. Fuel Displays the alternate airport predicted arrival fuel, which is calculated based on the routing, altitude, and speed shown on the ICAO ALTN page. Fuel values are blank when the airplane is on the ground & during the climb phase.

5. Alternate Select Pressing any of the 4 right line select keys (LSKs) will display the corresponding ICAO ALTN page, which contains more data about the specific airport.

6. Alternate Inhibit (ALTN INHIBIT) Entering a valid ICAO airport code at the 5R LSK will not allow those airfields to be selected as an alternate destination airport. One or two airports can be entered.

7. DIVERT NOW The DIVERT NOW selection modifies the route to go from the present position to the selected alternate using the route shown on the ICAO ALTN page.

Press DIVERT NOW:• makes an LNAV route modification for a divert to the selected alternate• automatically displays the MOD ICAO ALTN page for the selected alternate• displays SELECTED in this position on the CDUs not involved with the modification• blank on ground• blank in the air when a diversion is not permitted

The DIVERT NOW selection changes the display to the ICAO ALTN page for the diversion airport. The details of the route can be confirmed or modified before the diversion is executed.Execution of the diversion:

• changes the route destination airport.• includes the route modification into the active flight plan.• deletes all parts of the original route that are not part of the diversion.• if a descent path exists, deletes all descent constraints (the scratchpad message DESCENT PATH DELETED is shown when DIVERT NOW is selected).

After a divert is executed the ICAO ALTN page is not updated until all CDUs are selected off of the ICAO ALTN page.

ICAO Alternate Page(s)Each of the four alternate airports

shown on the ALTN page have a related ICAO ALTN page. The ICAO ALTN pages show specific data about alternate airports, the route used for a diversion. All data on the page is related to the alternate airport shown in the page title.

Three route options to the airport can be selected:• DIRECT TO – direct to alternate• OFFSET – flight plan route with an offset• OVERHEAD – flight plan route to a waypoint then direct to alternate.

The selected route option is identified by <SEL>. ETA and fuel remaining are calculated based on the selected option. Selection of a route option for one alternate selects the same route option for the other three alternates.

1. VIA DIRECT TO Pressing the LSK selects present position DIRECT TO alternate route option. All flight plan waypoints are deleted.

2. VIA OFFSET Press:

• with scratchpad empty, selects OFFSET route option• with offset data in scratchpad, enters offset data.

Entry and exit to the offset is the same as for the RTE page offset. All flight plan waypoints are kept. (Not modelled at this time)

3. VIA OVERHEADPress:

• with scratchpad empty, selects OVERHEAD option• with overhead data in scratchpad, enters overhead data. Does not select route option.

Displays active waypoint in flight plan. The waypoints up to the selected or entered overhead waypoint are kept, then routing is direct to the alternate airport. All waypoints after overhead waypoint are deleted. Enter any waypoint in the active or modified route.

4. ERASE Prompt Erases most recently entered data.5. Altitude (ALT) Entry of any valid altitude or flight level into this line

recalculates the ETA and arrival fuel. Altitude entries do not become part of the diversion modification. Altitude entries apply to all four alternates.

6. Speed (SPD) Entry of speed or Mach number into this line causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. Speed entries do not become part of the diversion modification. Speed entries apply to all four alternates.

Speed modes available are:• ECON (economy)• LRC (long range cruise)• any CAS or Mach.

7. WIND Entry of data into these lines causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. A separate wind entry may be made for each of the four alternates. Displays the estimated average wind for the divert route. Valid entry is a direction in degrees/speed in knots from 1 to 999.

8. Altitude/Outside Air Temperature (ALT/OAT) Entry of data into these lines causes a recomputation of ETA and arrival fuel. A separate ALT/OAT entry may be made for each of the four alternates. Displays the OAT for a specific altitude. Valid entry is an altitude/temperature in degrees C. (Not modelled at this time)

9. Alternate Airport ETA/Fuel (ICAO ETA/FUEL) Displays the calculated airport ETA and arrival fuel based on the selected route, altitude, and speed shown on this page.

10. DIVERT ICAO SELECTED This prompt performs the same function as described on the ALTN page. Note: After a divert is executed, the ICAO ALTN page data is not updated until all CDUs change to a page other than the ICAO ALTN page.

Route Offset

Route offsets are selected on the RTE page. The OFFSET prompt is displayed on the RTE page when the airplane is airborne and not on a SID, STAR, or transition.

Entering a distance value into the OFFSET dashes creates the selected offset. An offset propagates along the route from the active waypoint until a discontinuity, approach, approach transition, holding pattern, course change of greater than 135°, or end of route is reached. An offset can be removed by deleting the offset, proceeding direct, or entering an offset value of zero.

After execution, the offset route is shown as a dashed magenta line on the map display. The original route remains a solid magenta line.

If LNAV is engaged when the offset is executed, the airplane turns to an intercept heading and captures the offset course.1. OFFSET Route Prompt Enter the necessary offset. Valid entries are L (left) or R (right) followed by a distance from 0 to 99 in nautical miles.

Create a “Cold and Dark” situation fileWhen our real world Captain and First Officer arrive at the flight deck, they are

usually greeted with a cold and dark panel state. In other words, the aircraft is totally shut down. If you’re interested in starting your workday from scratch like our real world compatriots, it’s good practise to save your own “situation” file. Once that file is saved, you can then quickly import the panel settings for every departure location. It’s a simple and efficient way to start every flight.

1. From the CREATE A FLIGHT screen/menu, choose any Level-D 767 aircraft. No need to worry about location, weather, time & season or fuel. Choose “Fly Now”. The simulator will load with the engines running.

2. Shut down the aircraft. Follow the “Shutdown” & “Complete Shutdown” Checklist(s). Once you’re satisfied with the panel state...

3. Save the flight. ALT+F, Save Flight, or use the semi-colon key < ; >. The “Save Flight” dialog will appear. Save the “Title of Flight” as “Cold & Dark”. Choose OK.

That’s it. The file has been saved, and the NEXT TIME you go flying simply follow these steps to load the panel state:

1. From the CREATE A FLIGHT screen/menu set the aircraft, exact location, weather, time & season, fuel, etc. Choose “Fly Now!” After the simulator loads (with the engines will be running)...

2. From the LEVEL-D menu select PANEL---> IMPORT PANEL DATA FROM A FLIGHT, select the “Cold & Dark” file you have created.

3. Choose IMPORT and press OK.4. The panel (and aircraft) will revert to a cold and dark state (the exact settings

you have saved), and you can begin your workday just like the professionals do.

4. Choose Cargo Load:Click on the Cargo Load button. A cargo subcreen page will display. The cargo holds can be “loaded” by holding and dragging the mouse over each of the five cargo areas.

4a. Click on the “Passenger Load” button to RETURN to the main page.5. Choose fuel quantity:

Propose the amount of fuel you will need for your flight by pressing on the MINUS or PLUS buttons located to the left and right. This is a “proposed fuel amount” only. Once FS2004 is started and the Level-D 767 loads, you will have to manually load the fuel via the menu bar to match the amount you have “proposed”. However, setting the fuel load will return a %MAC and CG for TO trim that will allow for correct weight/balance calculations. Watch your weight! The Configuration Manager will display incorrect weights in red.

Do not exceeds these limits:Max Takeoff Weight 408000 lbs 185454 kgMax Zero Fuel Weight 288000 lbs 130909 kg

6. Choose Save Settings.The configuration manager records the Zero Fuel Weight and Takeoff Weight within the aircraft.cfg. It it does not record the fuel amount. A loadsheet text file entitled “767loadsheet.txt” will be generated with this information. The “767loadsheet.txt” file is saved (by default) to the Aircraft>LVLD_763 folder.
