DirkN 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 When I made a flight to CYXE the Descent Preparation CL was stuck on item Baro reference. The copilot was repeating this item until after landing. The Vol. 6 manual says on page 42 point 208: The QNH value of the arrival airport will automatically be set by the copilot. I wonder how the copilot determines this value. Is this automatically derived from ATIS ? Is it important to set the QNH to in Hg when flying in Canada in order for the checklist to work ?

Mo210 10 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 did you enter the correct Baro on PERF/APPROACH-Page of destination Airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkN 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 did you enter the correct Baro on PERF/APPROACH-Page of destination Airport? So I misunderstood point 208 on page 42. I tought this was done by the copilot, but you have to do this yourself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkN 0 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I still don't understand what happened before. Today I did a flight to Winnipeg and the QNH was set by the copilot ( like it is explained in the manual ), so everything was allright this time. But I still don't understand where the copilot gets this QNH of the arrival airport. ATIS for Winnipeg told me 1019 mB and she has set the QNH to 1015 mB.

Mik75 30 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The Copilot simply dials in the setting you have entered into the approach page of the MCDU (where you also enter the flap setting for landing, the DH or MDA etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpais 8 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The QNH will be changed from STD at the selected TL by the copilot, however the approach page (which has all the information used by the copilot), must be filled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Hanse 216 Posted January 6, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi, the value dialed in by copilot comes from FSX and is the same value than pressing "B" on the keyboard. So if you do not use the copilot just press "B" when the action is required..... Hanse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
