Hello everyone and how do you do?
In todays clip, I walk you through a typical preflight preparation as far as the pre-departure briefing, data entry and speed insertion into the FMS so we can safely liftoff and climb away. In a previous video, I showed you how we calculate the speeds based on airport conditions, aircraft weight etc.(watch the video to recap). So I have omitted that step but present the step where we now enter the calculated data.
The flight was from Anchorage in Alaska to Hong Kong (11 hours and 40 mins) with a takeoff weight of just over 382,000 KGS. Captions are in place to let you kno what we are doing and note how everything is cross checked again and again to verify data entry.
Hope it gives you some insight into some of the procedures.
The cameraman was my friend Myloss Besseling of JP.
