Yamer Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 ok so i just learned about some new stuff in class. question of the day.those of you flying, and have an aircraft with multi-purpose displays, what screens do you have up on them while flying? co-piloting? mtf ing? so on and so forth. Quote
Velocity173 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I keep one MFD on the primary instruments or "6 pack" and the other one on a moving map display. Both can be flip flopped and both have traffic alert / terrain alert capabilities. Quote
electron_si Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Um I fly A/L's so I'm not sure about all this MFD talk lol I wish we had a moving map though to get rid of the EDM, that thing just takes up too much space in the cockpit. Quote
Rob1237051 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I thought the giant EDM was some kind of leg strengthening exercise. 1 Quote
wopilot Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Engine and a flight page on t/o, then switch to a Engine and TSD page. Engine always on the left. Never fly around in hover mode. Quote
DC8488 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Never fly around in hover mode.I had a boss who did this all the time. Highly annoying I tell ya. Quote
Yamer Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 interesting. electron, if you flew apaches you wouldn't have that problem lol Quote
electron_si Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 interesting. electron, if you flew apaches you wouldn't have that problem lol While I'm out getting flight time you are still "fixing" the always broke apache. That's why 15R's stay so busy and 15T's get to dick off Even after you go to flight school you will still be sititng around looking at broke aircraft that aren't flying. Quote
akscott60 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Someone has the VSD page and someone has an HSD+ page up. Quote
SemperGumby Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah, it does depend on what you're doing. Most of the time I have an Engine page on the left and the TSD on the right. Right now, learning to fly in the bag, I don't even know they exist half the time except during simulated EPs. It's hard enough to concentrate on what's going on in the HDU, let alone the other two screens. 1 Quote
Hotdogs Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 One MFD in the Whiskey. Sensor imagery only. Everything else is steam gauges. You guys are spoiled. No moving map, just a HUD carrot for the next waypoint. Quote
Dutch Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 TSD on the left, ENG on the right, all the flight stuff is in the right eye. Quote
Yamer Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 i like dutch's layout. not that iknow much yet but it sounds most logical and spock always says logical is good 1 Quote
