Taxi to Runway The phase is activated once the Gate Departure
announcement has been made. The
announcement is usually made when you
release the parking brakes.
Takeoff The phase is activated in different ways. If you
have the Prepare for Takeoff call configured to
play before or after the takeoff checklists, the
phase is activated when the Prepare for Takeoff
call is made. Otherwise, the program does its
best to ascertain that you’ve finished taxiing.
Climb The phase is activated the moment your
wheels leave the ground.
Cruise The phase is activated as you pass 3000 ft.
Descent The phase is activated when you descend below a
given triggering height. If your highest altitude
was less than 12000 ft, the triggering height is
20% lower than your highest altitude. If you went
to an altitude higher than 12000ft, the triggering
height is 10% lower than your highest altitude.
To exemplify, if you went to an altitude of
10000 ft, the Descent phase will be activated
once you descend below 8000 ft, and if you
went to an altitude of 20000 ft, the phase is
activated once you descend below 18000 ft.
Final The phase is activated as you descend below
3000 ft.
Landed The phase is activated as soon as your wheels
touch the ground (which seems like a reasonable
criteria).
Taxi to Park The phase is activated once your ground speed
drops below 30 knots.
Parked The phase is activated when the parking brake
is set at your destination airport.
