Flightdeck call settings
Some of the flightdeck calls have individual settings. These are:
Call setting Description
Climb thrust You can specify the altitude at which the
captain will make the Climb thrust call.
Prepare for takeoff You can specify when the co-pilot will make
the Prepare for takeoff call. Your options are
Auto, hotkey, After takeoff checks, and Before
takeoff checks.
IAS Active You can specify the speed (in knots) at which
the co-pilot will make the IAS Active call (IAS =
Indicated Air Speed).
Note! The Takeoff Flight Phase is activated when the co-pilot makes
the Prepare for takeoff call. Using the hotkey to make the call
therefore constitutes a way of „jump starting“ the Takeoff flight
phase, should you so wish.
Procedural variations for flap calls
There are slight variations in how different airlines perform certain
functions. For example, while the crews of some airlines flying the
Boeing 747-200 do not call for Flaps 5 during takeoff or landing,
other airline’s procedures require their crew to do so. Also, some-
times a Flaps 10 call from a captain will receive a Flaps 10 confirmati-
on from the first officer. In other procedures, the first officer will
confirm Flap 10 selected, and once the flap movement is complete,
he will call Flap 10 set. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 acknowledges this
difference, and allows you to select the procedure variation you
prefer.
Note! The panel you use for your aircraft must support the flap
settings defined for the selected aircraft in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011.
