PEDESTAL - LATEST FEATURES 

WEATHER RADAR  The weather radar included with 737 Pilot in Command is based on the real Collins WXR2100. The most important is to locate hazardous weather areas, and avoid them. This system is able to show the pilot where dense precipitation is located and turbulence is expected. In an aviation based weather radar, only water  and wet hail produces reflections. Only the clouds located at the aircraft level can be displayed. Colors code : Green Yellow Red

=> Light precipitations => Moderate precipitations => Severe precipitations

The INTENSITY OF TURBULENCE within clouds can also be displayed. The turbulence is calculated out of the velocity changes for the reflections. This turbulence can only be measured within clouds that generate normal reflections. So only precipitation based turbulence can be displayed, gusty winds and other air turbulence cannot. Colors code : dark magenta intense magenta

=> Moderate turbulences => Severe turbulences

The turbulence image is an overlay to the normal weather radar image so if no turbulence is measured, the normal RGB Weather Radar image is drawn. The turbulence detection is limited to a Range of 40NM.  A special high sensitivity mode makes it possible to detect WINDSHEAR out of water particles. Windshear is always present at low altitudes just above ground. Additional due to the high sensitivi6

737 Pilot in Command

ty, other particles than water may produce enough reflection energy to be detected and displayed as windshear. Windshear is only working below 2500ft AGL and in ranges up to 5 NM. This mode is only intended for take off and final approach phase. Windshear  areas are marked by red rings.

THRUST VARIES WITH OAT TEMPERATURE (drops on hot days and raises at cold ones)  All temperature dependent thrust tables are rogrammed into the FMS so it detects the outside temperature and set the thrust accordingly, just like in the real life.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT WEATHER  RADAR :  1. The Weather Radar technology requires a lot of  PC resources and therefore may result in a huge impact on the frame rate. 2. When switching ON the Weather Radar, the radar pulse generators need to warm up, which can take up to 40 seconds. 3. There is no option to tilt the radar. We have simulated the radar's Auto mode.

SELECTABLE THRUST RATING Exclusive feature ! The 737 was delivered with various engine ratings in real life and we wanted to simulate them all. It is a checkbox in the setup utility and you can simulate any of these ratings customising to the airline's rating you fly.

GROUND POWER UNIT  To call GPU, the plane should stay with engines OFF, parking brake ON, and click the Ground Power Available light. Then, wait a minute. Ground Power Unit is fully simulated. When you turn your engines OFF and set the parking brake ON by clicking on the Ground Power Available light you can have GPU in a minute.

WIND REQUEST From the LEGS page of the FMS, you can request wind data to the enroute part of the flight plan and the FMS will take this information into consideration allowing an even more precise fuel prediction.

APU BURNS FUEL Exclusive feature ! Just like in the real plane, the  APU uses fuel. This is simulated only on feelThere aircraft. Nowhere else! FLAP LOAD RELIEF Setting 40 degrees flaps and exceeding the flaps speed, the flap load relief system will set the flaps up to 30 degrees to avoid damage caused by the wind. AUTOMATIC NOSE STEERING LIMITER  Above 40kts, the nose wheel steering is limited to 6 degrees without effecting the rudder. Very realistic but can be turned OFF in the setup utility. PAUSE BEFORE TOP OF DESCENT (TOD)  Another nice and useful feature in the setup utility. Flight Simulator can pause 20 Nm before you reach the TOD point. It's handy on long range flights.

QUALITY FIRST !  By not making illegal copies and purchasing only original  WILCO PUBLISHING products,  you will allow to continue developing  and improving the quality of our software. THANK YOU.

Boeing 757/767 Simulator & Checkride Simmers seldom own and fly just one airplane, but have a whole stable of fabulous airplanes. In order to enhance your flight simming experience, I recommend that  you pick up Captain Mike Ray’s 757/767 Simulator  Check-ride Survival Guide. He has written well over  300 pages of everything you need to pass a checkride at any airline in the world. The more detail the dedicated sim pilot is, the more they should get all the manuals in this series. While they are not written specifically for simming, the level of realism that they project lends itself to the  phenomenal realism in the sim programs of today. Because you bought this particular add-on sim program places you in an elite group of individuals.

Boeing 747 Simulator & Checkride Captain Mike Ray has flown the 747-400 all over the world. He has placed some of his wealth of information in a volume that takes the reader behind the scenes to reveal just how the airline pilots “do it.” His book has been used by thousands of airline pilot from all over  the world to pass their checkrides. And if you become familiar with the information inside this entertaining 300 plus page manual, you will be able to pass the check-ride too. It covers all the necessary areas to make you a real 747-400 “pro.” Emergencies, SOPs, profiles, set-up and “cold dark” airplane material. It is all in there. Even if you don’t take that check-ride, you will find the witty and sometimes humorous treatment for a really complicated and boring  subject ... well, entertaining. This is a real MUST HAVE for those flying the “glass jumbo.”
