elcome to Level-Ds 767-300ER Flight #001 from Vancouver to San Francisco, brought to you by members of the beta team, and a couple of CVAers. We are not professional pilots: we are flightsimmers, just like you. Some of our technical advisors (real world 767 pilots) have read through this document, and they are satisified with the information we have provided. They arent going to let any of us fly their real 76 just yet, but they havent said no to our request for dead-heading for a week... (we wish).
CVA 767-300ER

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide CVAers with general guidelines to effectively fly the Level-D 767. It is not the definitive guide: that document would encompass several thousand pages, and enlist the user to devote thousands of hours of study. It is important to note that no two airlines operate their aircraft in the same manner. Each airline adopts SOPs (standard operating procedures) for the aircraft in their fleet. While your airline may operate with different standards than those set forth, we have chosen to adopt a mix of standards to ensure the safe operation of the LDS767. This Tutorial includes: Pre-Flight, Flight Deck Prep., FMC Programming, Engine Start, Taxi, Take-off, Initial Climb & Cruise, Descent, Approach, Landing, Taxi, Shutdown, a Beta-bums Bonus Page, Checklist, Flight Plan, Charts, and the FAQ. Print this document and complete the sections in chronological order. Save a situation file after each completed section so that you may review any given tutorial section at a later date. Our flight will utilize the LDS767s Expanded Checklist included with the manual for its structure, and is intended as a step-by-step guide to assist the novice and intermediate LDS767 pilot. The Level-D 767 is a complex simulation. It will take you many hours to master all aspects of the aircraft. While this tutorial serves a useful purpose, we recommend that you read the manual in its entirety to gain a deeper understanding of the LDS767. Enjoy your flight from Vancouver to San Francisco: though CVAs schedule denotes a CLASS 2 aircraft for this routing, we trust that you will feel a great sense of satisfaction aboard Level-Ds 767 Flight001 Tutorial.

Fun Facts The 767 is the favorite airplane on Atlantic routes; it flies across the Atlantic more frequently than all other jetliners combined. If GE CF6-80C2B8F engines were attached to a typical automobile (or a 1992 Plymouth Voyager), at takeoff power the car would accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96.5 kph) in less than half a second. There are 3.1 million parts in a 767 provided by more than 800 suppliers. There are 117 miles (188 km) of wires in a 767-300ER.
Pre-Flight
In this section we will setup the files, program, aircraft, and simulator, so that we are all working with the same default settings. Please read and follow these directions carefully. The tutorial is based on these settings. 1. Create a Cold & Dark situation file called Cold&Dark. See FAQ included in this document for more information. 2.Check the CVA website to download the CVA LDS 767. Use the LDS Repaint Manager (on the Desktop) to install the livery into FS. 3. Open the LDS 767 Configuration Manager (default installed to your Desktop) and choose from these options: Virtual Cockpit Options > No Virtual Cockpit Basic Aircraft Configuration > Long Haul Flight Choose Cargo Load button and load approx. 48,200 lbs (21,907 KG) of Cargo / Passengers. Choose Passenger Load to return to the main screen and click on the minus button of the Propose Fuel menu to propose 35,000 lbs (15,876 KG) of fuel for the flight (we will manually load the fuel into the aircraft later, but 35,000 is close enough to get the trim setting for the flight). See FAQ included in this document for more information. Confirm & Note settings for later use in FMC ZFW approx. 245,200 (111,266 KG) %MAC 22% / 2.6 Max Gross Weight 280,202 (127,141 KG) Save Settings & Exit the Manager 4. Start Flight Simulator. To maximize the LDS767 experience, take the time now to set up the various FS & Level-D menu(s). A registered copy (version 4.66) of the FSUIPC module by Pete Dowson is not essential, but it will enhance the flying experience (http:// www.schirati.com/dowson.html). From the Flight Simulator start screen, choose: SETTINGS Sounds > 5. The panel should load with the engines running. Now, lets set the 767 to a Cold & Dark state. From the LEVEL-D menu, choose: PANEL > Import Panel data from Flight Available Flights > Choose Cold&Dark Import > OK The flight deck should be cold and dark. Not a whisper. Not a sound. Spooky quiet.

Our briefing: Runway heading of 260 then a left turn through 4000 feet to intercept the J126 off the YVR VOR.The SID dictates a climb to 7000, but with no ATC, set 39000 in the MCP ALT. If an engine fails after Vr, we will continue to 4000, then make a left turn heading of 080 for downwind 26R approach.

Select LNAV or HDG SEL as required. For LNAV, use the DIRECT TO procedure or intercept the route course using HDG SEL.
If the departure is complicated, you could assist the aircraft by flying the first turns in HDG SEL, and engaging LNAV once youre past the shorter legs. At 1000
Engage VNAV and follow Flight Director commands or Select FL CH and set speed to 250.
At 1000 AGL select a VERTICAL mode on the MCP, ie. VNAV, FL CH or V/S (used primarily in engine out situation). Through 1500 AGL pitch the nose down slightly, press C CMD on the MCP. The aircraft should continue on runway heading. Flaps ........................ Retract upon acceleration Flap retraction schedule When passing Set flaps Vref30+20 ............................ 5 Vref30+40 ............................ 1 Vref30+60 ............................ UP
When flaps are UP, maintain a minimum airspeed of Vref30+80. Normally climb out at 250 knots until reaching 10,000. Then accelerate to 300 knots or FMC ECON speed. Once flaps are UP, move the gear lever to the OFF position to depressurize the landing gear hydraulics.
Verify 80 knots
Verify THR HOLD mode. Observe the FMA annunciating the release of the A/T servos with THR HOLD, and make a mental note of moving from the low-speed abort to the high-speed abort stage.
At 5 kts before V1 move your hand from the throttle lever to the yoke and mentally prepare to take ANY problem into the air, excluding situations where the aircraft controllability is severely impaired or if the aircraft otherwise becomes unflyable Monitor airspeed for V1 and Vr
At Vr, rotate smoothly until airborne and then establish an approximate 15 pitch up attitude. Then follow the FD pitch commands.
Climb thrust
Verify set to CLB, CLB1 or CLB2 as desired.
At Vr begin a steady pull (2-3 of rotation per second) on the yoke to establish a gentle but firm rotation and liftoff. Positive rate of climb ................... Gear Up
Gear handle UP, then OFF when retracted.
Open the FMC. Press LEGS (FK). Press 1L LSK for YVR. YVR will be entered into the scratchpad. Press 1L LSK. The scratchpad entry will be updated in the FMC. Press EXEC (FK). Press VNAV, LNAV and C CMD on the MCP. The aircraft should start a left turn direct to the YVR VOR. Select 39000 in the ALT box on the MCP (if you havent already done so).

After cleaning up the aircraft, there are still some procedural things that you need to attend to, before things will settle down in the climb. On this tutorial flight were assuming that no climb derates are used, so the climb will be rather brisk. If conditions permit, during the climb out, you can select the Seat Belt sign to AUTO to release the cabin. After passing the transition altitude, you should be setting the altimeter to standard setting (29.92 Hg / 1013mb). Through 10,000 you can turn the landing lights to OFF. Be prepared to operate the FMC during the early phases of the climb to possibly take a new Direct-To to a new waypoint or manipulate the flight plan in some other way if the ATC instructions require you to do so. Dont be overwhelmed by the many tasks you will be facing during this time, but instead take one thing at a time, and try to complete everything you set out to do. Dont worry about the ATC noticing possible little errors you make in this most heated phase of the flight. Just concentrate on getting the aircraft safely away from the airport within the published boundaries of the departure. Above all: FLY THE AIRCRAFT.
you to change your route towards an enroute alternate. Some of these include a medical emergency, technical emergency, unexpected requests by ATC. Whatever the reason, you should be able to make a logical and a rather quick decision to ensure the safety of your aircraft and your passengers. Even though you have a fully operational TCAS onboard the aircraft, it doesnt relieve you from keeping a constant traffic lookout during the cruise phase. The TCAS is not an all-encompassing or all-knowing device, and you should make it a routine to scan the outside of the aircraft (while still enjoying the views, of course). Prepare for the arrival. Get charts ready, adjust the minimum altitudes on your gauges, and consider the many possible obstacles that you could see during your approach into destination. Review the arrival and approach plates; review and program the missed approach procedure; review the predicted weather and its effect on your arrival. Always remember to keep the FMC in the loop for a better situational awareness. This means that you should make the FMC route look like your planned arrival. Of course you also have to make sure you can transition to raw data if needed (ie. Fly on the basic navigational instruments). In short: PREPARE. NOTE: Look out the window and enjoy the view! Fuel Panel
Monitor balance and turn off Center Fuel Pumps when center tank is empty.
We have completed the setup of the arrival runway. If we were online on VATSIM or another online network, there is a very good likelihood that our arrival would be altered (ATC may dictate crossing & speed restrictions, or provide vectors off our planned arrival route altogether). In such circumstances, it is best to have a pen & paper handy to write down all clearances. The FMC can be used to control crossing altitudes and speed restraints, but dont be afraid to set the altitude in the MCP ALT and use FLCH to descend. HDG SEL can be used if ATC provides vectors. During the cruise, always monitor the progress of your flight. Open the FMC. PROGRESS

The DES NOW> at 6R LSK will enable an immediate descent to the commanded MCP altitude. This is a handy feature if ATC needs your aircraft at a lower altitude. FUTURE TIP: Set a lower altitude on the MCP. Press 6R (DES NOW>) and the EXEC (FK) will illuminate. Press EXEC. The aircraft will begin an immediate descent to the MCP commanded altitude. Right, its time to get ready for the descent and arrival into San Francisky (For Second City TV fans: Didja drive or didja flew?). We need to check that our route is correct, so lets verify that weve set up the FMC correctly.

NOTE: Stay ahead of the aircraft. For this tutorial we are planning our arrival & runway BEFORE the descent. If you fly online, be prepared to change any and all of this information during the descent phase. Regardless, take the time to plan ahead. If you can, do it now, before the descent.
Lets confirm and review our amended routing from PLAN MODE. Press LEGS (FK). Press NEXT PAGE (FK) until the ACT RTE 1 LEGS page displays the last page of the route. Rotate the Display control on the EHSI panel from MAP to PLAN. Rotate the Range Control (EHSI panel) to 20nm. Press 6R LSK <STEP> and verify that the waypoints for our amended arrival are contiguous, and as planned. Check the route on the EHSI. Verify the route. Make changes if there are any errors.
Lets program the HOLD at OLYMM. Press HOLD (FK). An entry box will appear at 6L LSK. Press 5L LSK (OLYMM). OLYMM will be entered into the scratchpad. Press 6L LSK (entry box). OLYMM will be transferred from the scratchpad to the entry box. The MOD RTE 1 HOLD (1/1) page will be displayed. Enter 280 into the scratchpad. Press 3L LSK. 280 will be entered into the INBD CRS/ DIR column. Press EXEC (FK). The aircraft be should nearing the TOD (top of descent)... so without further adieu, lets get serious and drop this aircraft into San Francisco where we can enjoy some of the sights and sounds of the Bay area. BTW, the company just sent you your next flight plan: KSFO SFO8 RBL J1 SEA PAE ACORD7 CYVR. Enjoy Frisco, baby: you have one hour to turn the aircraft around as Flight #002, San Francisco to Vancouver.

As we get closer to the STINS waypoint, watch the airspeed. If it looks likes the the aircraft may miss 250 knots at STINS, stick out the Speedbrakes <SHIFT+/> to slow the 767 down.
Speedbrakes, please
Mike Ray, in his amazing Boeing 757-767 Simulator & Checkride Procedures Manual (now available from Flight1 and at http://utem.com), states: This is a very clean airplane; as a result, getting it to come down-slow down is difficult. Consider the Speedbrake to be a PRIMARY FLIGHT CONTROL and using it is desirable. This airplane WILL NOT descend on a normal glideslope at 250kts without using the speedbrake.
Once the aircraft is in level flight at STINS waypoint (250 at 11000), change the flight mode from VNAV to FLCH. Dial 5000 into the MCPs Altitude Target Window. Press the MCP FL CH button. The FL CH button will light. The MCPs IAS/MACH Window will display 250 (approx). From the LDS767 manual: The Flight Level Change mode is selected by pressing the FL CH button on the MCP. FL CH is annunciated in green on the EADI and the A/T is automatically engaged if armed. Additionally, the current aircraft speed is reset in the IAS/MACH window of the MCP and the TRP changes to a CLB mode. When selected, the AFDS and the autothrottle command pitch and power settings to fly the aircraft toward the altitude selected in the MCP ALT window at the selected speed. Changing the IAS/MACH speed on the MCP causes the AFDS to change the commanded pitch angle to maintain the selected speed. If a climb is required, the A/T sets power to the maximum available (based on TRP selection) and the AFDS pitches up to maintain the selected airspeed. If a descent is required, the A/T sets the power to IDLE and enters a throttle hold (THR HOLD) mode while the AFDS pitches down to maintain the selected airspeed. The throttle hold mode disconnects the autothrottle from the power levers which allows the pilot to manually control thrust during the descent.
The graphic representation depicted above is what you may be seeing as the aircraft descends through 8000. The graphic below outlines some of the Controls and Modes that will be utilized during the next phase of flight.

Allow the aircraft to settle at 220 kts and 5000. Make sure your Speedbrakes are retracted <SHIFT+/>. Dial 2500 into the MCP Altitude Target Window. Dial 180 into the MCP Speed Window. Press the MCP FLCH button. The aircraft will begin to descend to 2500 while slowing to 180 knots. After the aircraft crosses MENLO, Press the MCP LOC mode button. The AFDS has now been set to intercept the Localizer freq (111.70) for runway 28R. The aircraft should be approximately 12 miles back of the threshhold. Once the aircraft starts the turn to the 28R inbound course of 283, Press the MCP APP button. The AFDS is now configured to follow the ILS on its vertical glideslope path. Monitor your airspeed, and extend the flaps (if the F/O is disabled) as per the Flaps schedule. Once fully established on the glideslope, reset the MCP ALT Window to 3000 for the MAP. The Autoland Status of the aircraft is annunciated on the ASA at 1500 feet radio height as the multiple autopilot operation engages. FLARE and ROLLOUT are annunciated in white on the EADI when multiple autopilots are engaged. Alternatively, (why not, the wx is great!) disconnect the autopilot and hand fly her home.

DO NOT LOWER FLAPS. The reasoning here is that some ice or stuff can get lodged in the tracks and cracks and when you raise the flaps, they could compress the ice and become jammed or non-functioning. So... GUESS WHAT! IF... you lower the flaps during taxi out on taxiway with ice, snow, clutter, etc. THEN... After takeoff when you raise the flaps, you MAY HAVE A FLAP PROBLEM.

I hear a high pitch siren sound when I shut down the APU?
The tone is from the IRS, as you have disconnected the AC power when shutting down the APU. To cancel the sound, switch the all three IRS on the overhead panel from NAV to OFF, or restore GRND or APU power.
Can I use the old Flight plan format from the 2000/ 2002 version in the new Level-D?
Yes the old Flight Plan format can be used in the LVDD 767. FPs built with FSbuild will work as well. Save Them In your RootFS9/Level-D Simulations/Navdata/ Flightplans.
Can I import the older SIDs and STARs from the previous version of the 767?
No, the LVD767 uses and new XML format for the nav data, the older data cannot be imported into LVD767. Old PIC767 procedures are no longer compatible due to a new file format that was implemented for better performance.
How do I turn off morse code sounds when I load the panel?
The selectors are on because they are selected on your default flight. On the Pedestal is the Audio control panel, click on the VOR, ILS and ADF selectors so the arrow are pointed down and not illuminated. See pg157 of the manual for instruction on the Audio Panel.
How do I find the CofG for the FMC take-off page to get my Take off trim setting?
In the load manager there is a section to input the estimated fuel load. Use the + or buttons to adjust the amount f fuel you have or will have on board. And below it will tell you what your center of Gravity is for input into the FMC. You can also enter the CG in the FMC Takeoff page. This will provide the takeoff trim setting.
I dont have any failures set but I get a cargo overheat warning?
When flying out of airports with higher temperatures the cargo heat is not needed. So shut off the cargo heat switches on the overhead.
Why arent the MCP mode lights not extinguishing even if I turn off my flight director?
If the first officer side F/D is still ON, this is what youll see. Turn both flight directors off to disable all MCP modes.
The strobes lights do not turn on unless the position lights are on?
This is not a bug. Due to limitations in G-max the position lights are tied to strobes. The only way to get the lights to work independently would have been to remove the flexing wings feature.
The FMC will not Accept a higher ZFW amount that is from the load manager?
Reduce your fuel amount to the proper amount needed for the flight.
EGT, Oil Temperature, and FF Values are blank all blank in the EICAS?
You changed the assigned name of the Level-D folder in the FS9/Aircraft folder. Change the name back to LVLD_B767. Some of the code depends on the exact path name for the aircraft folder so if you change that it will not be able to find the flight model file and you will see the above problems occur.
Quick tips keep coming up even though I uncheck the show quick tips box?
Open Flight Simulator 9\Level-D Simulations\B767-300 and look for the 767-300.ini find the following value TIP_AT_STARTUP= and change the value to say TIP_AT_STARTUP=0 .
What is the Temp Sel knob for on the TRP (Thrust rating panel)?
The temperature selector allows you to manually set the De-rated TO temperature. By dialing the knob you will get the assumed temperature rating displayed on the EICAS- The assumed temperature selector functions only with TO, TO 1 or TO 2 mode displayed. to a max of 25% de-rated thrust.. this operation is used on Take off only.
Why doesnt the Configuration Manager SET my fuel load when I load the aircraft for a flight?
The proposed amount will NOT be placed into the aircraft.cfg file - you will still have to manually load the fuel once flightsim loads. NOTE: Adjusting the fuel load will set a %MAC and CG number for TO trim and allows proper weight/balance calculations. This number must be entered into the FMC TAKEOFF page for TRIM settings to work properly.
I get a Black screen when I load up the Level-D 767 in full screen mode?
Check to see if your are using any OMEGA drivers, there are known issues with Level-D 767 and some builds of the omega drivers. Please install the proper drivers direct from Nvidia or ATI.
My aircraft is very difficult to control. Hand flying is almost impossible. Whats going on?
Delete and/or rename your FSUIPC.INI file in your FS9/ modules folder and let it generate a default one. (DO NOT Delete FSUIPC.DLL).
I cannot select the hidden click spot on the Airspeed indicator to set the bugs in the VC.
The click spot to set the Bugs in the VC gauge is not available, please set the bug in the 2d and return to the VC and they will be set.
