descent preparation checklist

Recommended Posts

good evening ;)

when i´m in cruise flight and turn down the altimeter knob of the Autopilot RAAS starts with the descent preparation checklist.

Isn´t it possible to go onto a lower flight level without activating the Checklist?

Thanks for any help ;)

kind regards

RAAS has nothing to do with the checklists but you are correct the winding down of the altimeter is the trigger of the descent prep checklist. This is normal and how the system was designed.

Hi,

there are a few issues you should know and those are clearly described in the Vol6 StepbyStep guide.......

  1. RAAS has nothing to do with the Checklist- and Copilot Functionality
  2. The DESCENT Preparation Checklist starts if you enter change the altitude of 9 NM before TOD (5.17)
  3. At this time you also chould set up the APPR page on the MCDU - PERF. (XXX:)
  4. If you do not enter a QNH value of the arrival airport then the copilot uses the ambient air pressure from FSX like if you use from the keyboard.
