EHM-1001 Robert:
Great shot Magnus ! I have a feeling, that in the past I knew Magnus Larsson...or did I mix something ?
EHM-0250 Magnus:
Paolo: It took me about 7,5 hours for the second leg.
Robert, you are correct. :) I was once Magnus Larsson, former Chief of Development, former Chief of Operations. Worked pretty close (and hard?) with Gergely and Maarten back in 2003 - beginning 2004. I actually made the very first prototype version of a flight logger. It wasn't mandatory to use it then, it was just an extra thing you could use if you wanted to. It has been developed since then I'm happy to say, hehe. I also made the first Badge Generator GUI, the ATC callsigns, Tour of Sweden, Capitals of Europe tour, helped Gergely with several aircraft repaints, the divisions' pages that still are in use (EuroBusiness, EuroCargo and EuroHolidays), and probably something else. Let me tell you: it took a lot of work to earn that Medal of Honor.. ;D As I remember it you were pretty active back then too, maybe even in management?
EHM-1500 Jim:
A quick question for the management regarding the pro-pilot penalties.
I received the penalty in my first flight for overspeed above 250 kts below 10,000 ft in the PMDG 747. I think this penalty needs urgent review as the clean speed for a heavily laden 747 is above 250 IAS, in this case my clean climb speed below 10,000 was 268 IAS. It is well known that "heavy" aircraft are cleared to above their clean speed below 10,000ft even if that exceeds 250 IAS.
Any chance this could be sorted or i am going to get this penalty every flight as i guess will all pmdg users!!
Otherwise great first leg!!
Jim
EHM-1001 Robert:
Nice Magnus ! ;D I was a little confused, but now it is all clear, thx ;)
Jim, you can still set a speed restriction on the FMC, so the beast stay below 250 kts. I myself fly only at 230 until 10000. I used to fly it without VNAV, because it did not let sometimes to input the restrictions. Also it misscalculates some fixes sometimes, and can cause a 4500 fpm penalty too within 5 seconds. I like the safer way :P ...but generally you can fly with it below 250 kts ;)
EHM-1500 Jim:
True Robert but not very realistic. Would mean having flaps 1 or 5 all the way up to 10,000 ft ?
Can any of our experienced ATC members advise regarding clearing heavy traffic to speeds greater than 250 IAS below 10,000 ?
Cheers, Jim
