Very Noobish question

<< < (3/3)

EHM-1001 Robert:
;D totally off-topic, so...lets see some Hungarian grammar then:

"légitársasága"  is the word. It is made of 3 parts:

1. "légi" made of "lég" air + "i" means together ~aerial
2. "társaság" means simply company
1+2 is simply airline ;D
3.  "-a" in this context means of. But in Hungarian we do not use prepositions, we use past-positions :) or additions to the words, that form its meaning inside the sentence.

1+2+3: meaning is airline of. Also you can see the word order is opposite of English.

To go further ;D if you say: EuroHarmony is the best airline in the world and not of the world then in Hungarian you say: "EHM a legjobb légitársaság a világon". You can see, the "légitársaság" became simple word, while the "világ" changed to "világon" according to: in the world.

That is all folks ;D See ya at the next lesson.

EHM-0654 Murray:
In an FMC controlled airplane, the trick is to allow for STAR and approach - and arrivals to Heathrow are universally difficult with an FMC (I'm probably going to hand-fly after BIG VOR for instance...) Using BIG3B as an example:

Try to use the FMC for the STAR (DEP/ARR key), that way, if you're very lucky, you'll have the descent restrictions with plenty of time (plan for FL150 by TIGER intersection, expect FL70 leaving BIG...) and with just a smidgeon more luck you'll get the speed restrictions too (250kts 3mins or 12miles inbound BIG, 220kts in the holds, 220kts or less after BIG)

Finally, if you've got "real-world" AIRAC data for the PMDG (if you haven't DO NOT go looking for it now...) you may well have the STAR, but not the arrival (the PM NAVDATA has STAR but no arrival) so you'll want to MCP/hand fly everything after BIG. If the IVAO-GB team on the night are on the button (and I fully expect them to be) you will be vectored from BIG to the ILS either in the dog-leg out to the west for RWY 9s or the big S over my house to the east for RWY 27s (I live in Croydon, and I get to see so many big jets when the 27s are in use like they are at present...)
