Tutorial Flight for the Phoenix Simulation Software Airbus A340-300 This tutorial replicates the weekly Cathay Pacific A340-300 flight number CX734 from Singapore (Changi International) to Hong Kong (Chek Lap Kok International). The flight leaves Singapore each Wednesday evening. In reality the flight departs at 6:15 p.m. local time, but so that we can enjoy the sunset enroute well depart before dusk, by bringing the departure time forward to 4:15 p.m. Well make a night arrival at Hong Kongabout 3 hours 45 minutes laterat approximately 8:00 p.m. local time. By all means, fly the real flight timings if you prefer. The tutorial assumes you have had some practice at the basics of operating the PSS Airbus family of aircraft for FS2002 and FS2004. If not, it is recommended that you complete the Toronto Pearson (CYYZ) to Chicago O'Hare (KORD) A330 tutorial available at the PSS website. You might also like to try my PSS A330-200 tutorial Sydney to Melbourne, Australia. Download from: www.avsim.com/pss/manuals/a330_qantas_tutorial_v2.zip. Unlike the above tutorial, this flight starts with a Cold and Dark Cockpit with no engines or aircraft systems running. If you have the panel configuration set up with Start with a Cold and Dark Cockpit unchecked, open the Panel Configuration Utility and check this option to go through the whole startup procedure. Alternatively, if you prefer you can begin the flight with the engines and other systems fired upjust skip over the sections dealing with the startup procedure. Prefer a shorter flight? For those of you who would prefer a shorter tutorial flight, I have included an optional enroute diversion to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) in Vietnam. If you wish to take this option (which might be due to, say, a medical emergency with a passenger) the diverted flight will take about 2 hours in total. It will also provide practice at modifying the flight plan enroute, jettisoning fuel to adjust our landing weight, and using selected vertical and horizontal navigation modes to comply with ATC directions, in the absence of a Standard Arrival Route (STAR) for the diversion airport. Whichever option you choose (or both), enjoy the flight! John Cantwell Canberra, Australia john@fsadventures.net

Note: This isnt the destination well use for the optional diversion to make the flight shorter. This is our planned alternate airfield.
Our route will be from Singapore via a Standard Instrument Departure (SID), then along a high altitude airway taking us past Malaysia, Vietnam and over the South China Sea, before joining a Standard Arrival Route (STAR) to land at Hong Kong on runway 25L. NOTE Well use the VMR3B SID procedure from Changi Intl Runway 20L. This involves an initial climb on the runway heading then a left climbing turn to the VTK (Tekong) VOR. From VTK we turn left to track northwest for about 24 nautical miles before turning due north to the VMR (Mersing) VOR, which is the completion of the SID. Here we join the high altitude airway to begin our first leg to Hong Kong.

TAKEOFF
P17 REV 01 SEQ 001
Take Off We are cleared for takeoff, VRM3B departure, with an initial clearance to 10,000 feet. You can do the take off either in the cockpit or from the spot view (my preferred method). If you jump to the spot view, press Shift+6, Shift+7 and Shift+8 to open the ECAM panel so you can monitor the systems during takeoff. Press . (period) to release the parking brake, confirm in right hand ECAM display Well do a rolling runway entry and take off. Apply about 30% power to get moving, then back to 25% as you enter the runway and line up on the centerline keep it rolling. Lets go! Press keypad + twice to FLX power, confirm in right hand ECAM display Note T.O. INHIBIT in right hand ECAM display Rotate at VR of 170 knots as shown on the airspeed tape (Note: this might not agree with the VR calculated during MCDU setup a minor bug) Pitch up to 10-15 degrees until aircraft lifts off Once clear of the ground and climbing, pull back on the control to follow the commanded FD pitch indicator Press G to raise the gear as soon as the aircraft is positively climbing Keep following the FD pitch indicator Press F6 twice to select flaps CONFIG 1 as the airspeed passes the F marker on the airspeed tape of the Primary Flight Display (PFD). This will happen very quickly after takeoff. On passing 500 ft Press Z to activate the autopilot (or press AP1 on the FCU if you are inside the cockpit) The aircraft will climb straight ahead to 4,000 feet before making a climbing left turn in accordance with the VRM3B departure.

CLIMB / CRUISE
P19 REV 01 SEQ 001
Passing 25,000 ft ATC MESSAGE Cathay 734, climb to and maintain FL370. Set the ALT to 37000 and push (left click) the ALT knob for a managed climb, handing control of vertical navigation back to the flight management system Set EFIS range display to 160 The aircraft will climb towards our cruise altitude of 37,000 feet You can now either stay in the cockpit or jump to the spot view. Monitor the progress of the aircraft along the route by checking the MCDU. NOTE From the time we attain cruise altitude it will take about 45 minutes to reach a point where, if you prefer, we can simulate a diversion to make the tutorial shorter (around 2 hours in total). If you do wish to shorten the flight, at this point you can go to Appendix 1 starting on page 30, which simulates a diversion to Ho Chi City, Vietnam. If you want to fly the whole tutorial to Hong Honk, continue on to the next section called UPDATING DESTINATION WEATHER HONG KONG.
TIP You can increase the simulation rate to speed through the cruise sections of either flight. Press ALT to access the FS2004 menu bar Select Options > Simulation Rate Select your preferred simulation rate Note: Rates up 8x works best. Because the Airbus FMS allows the aircraft to operate within an altitude band rather than an absolute altitude, higher simulation rates can cause unpleasant altitude fluctuations. Remember to go back to Normal rate when youve reached the desired point in the flight!

P22 REV 01 SEQ 001
Descent Passing DUMOL set ALT to 4500, which is the minimum crossing altitude for the Tung Lung (TD) VOR. DO NOT PUSH OR PULL THE ALT KNOB YET The Top of Descent (TOD) point is marked on the ND with a white down arrow On reaching the TOD arrow the word DECELERATE will appear at the top of the PFD Immediately push (left click) the ALT knob for a managed descent If MORE DRAG appears in the PFD press / to extend the speed brakes Monitor the speed until it is close to the = mark on the airspeed ribbon, then close the speed brakes (press / again). Use the brakes again if the airspeed creeps back up, then close the brakes. Set range display to 80 The ATIS should come in about 6 miles from BAKER. When it does, make a note of the current altimeter setting, temperature and wind direction/speed. Once youve got the necessary details, open the pedestal and push the Swap button again to move the ATIS out of the Active window (this stops the ATIS transmission). Because FS2004 ATC doesnt use hPa values for QNH youll need to convert the ATIS altimeter reading from inches to hectopascals, using the conversion table below.

Start with the Inch value closest to the one you have, than read across to the decimal value required. Example conversions Altimeter = 29.92 Start with 29.90 in left column, we need an additional .02 inches so read across to the .02 column. QNH = 1013 Altimeter = 29.83 Start with 29.80 in left column, we need an additional .03 inches so read across to .04 column (use the higher value). QNH = 1010

NOTE Warning! This approach to the new Hong Kong airport is not as difficult as the famously dangerous approach to the old Kai Tak airport that it replaced, but it still has some challenges. There are mountains very close to the approach and glide paths. You will almost certainly get at least one terrain warning from the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) during the approach. In particular, the track to the ILS intercept point takes you towards rising terrainthe turn onto the ILS comes quite late! In reality ATC provides very careful radar altitude instructions to incoming aircraft. In this simulation, just adhere to the suggested altitude settings and trust the FMS to guide you down the glide path. If you wish, you can disable the GPWS alarms by pressing the GPWS SYS button on the lower left of the overhead panel. If you prefer, you could reset the time to daylight so you can see the terrain or re-fly the tutorial with a morning start time so you have daylight throughout the flight.

Appendix 1 DIVERSION TO VIETNAM
P30
This section creates a shorter tutorial flight a diversion to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. From the time we attain cruise altitude it will take about 45 minutes to reach this point. 20 miles short of CS (Conson) CABIN CREW MESSAGE A member of the cabin crew has come forward to tell you that a passenger has suffered some sort of seizure and lapsed into unconsciousness. A doctor who is on board has reported that the passenger is now stable but is seriously ill. The doctor recommends that the Captain should land at the nearest major airport as soon as possible. You inspect your charts and decide that Tansonnhat International Airport (VVTS), Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam is the best option for a diversion. You advise ATC and your company of your intentions. ATC MESSAGE Cathay 734, proceed direct to Vung Tau VOR. Cross Vung Tau VOR at 8000 feet, descend at your discretion. Expect vectors for an ILS approach to runway 25 Right. Medical services have been alerted.
Open the MCDU The waypoint CS should be the next waypoint (shown in white) at LSK2L Press DIR Enter VTV (the Vung Tau VOR) Press LSK1L to enter this into the DIR TO field T-P (turning point) appears in the ND and the aircraft turns towards the new waypoint Note that ----- F-PLN DISCONTINUITY----- appears in the MCDU; you can ignore this because well be using ATC vectors and selected flight modes instead of the flight plan. Set the ALT to 8000 ft and pull (right click) the ALT knob for a selected descent Press the right LSK opposite the new VTV waypoint to open the Vertical Revision page Enter 8000 Enter this into the ALT CSTR field LSK3R Enter 250 Enter this into the SPD CSTR field LSK3L Press RETURN LSK6L Close the MCDU

Open the pedestal so we can set a new radio frequency On the Radio Management Panel press VHF1 to confirm that the VHF1 radio is selected In the Standby window enter the Tansonnhat (VVTS) ATIS frequency which is 128.00 Press the Swap button (the double headed arrow) to make the new frequency active NOTE We wont immediately be able to receive the Tansonnhat ATIS at this distance but setting the frequency now means the ATIS will come in as soon as we are in range. Close the pedestal About 60 miles from VTV (Vung Tau) VOR Jettison Excess Fuel We need to check we dont exceed the Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) of 396.0 k/lbs Open the MCDU Press FUEL PRED Check the Gross Weight (GW) value at LSK3L it is probably higher (GW around 410 k/lbs) than the MLW so we will need to jettison some fuel to reduce our GW Enter 396.0 (the MLW for the A340-300) Press JET GW at LSK3R which tells the jettison system to stop dumping fuel when it gets down to this GW Close the MCDU Open the overhead panel The FUEL JETTISON sub-panel on the center left side has four red covered buttons Click on ARM to open the cover, click again on the ARM button (white ON light) Click on ACTIVE to open the cover, click again on the ACTIVE button (white ON light) Close the overhead panel On the main panel, press FUEL on the ECAM control panel
A340
P32
Note the two arrows indicating that fuel jettisoning is in progress the jettison process will stop automatically when the JET GW limit (which we set to MLW) is reached. We are only slightly over weight so this wont take long. Open the MCDU Press FUEL PRED Confirm GW value at LSK3L is now equal to or less than the MLW of 396.0 Close the MCDU Open the overhead panel Click on ARM to open the cover, click again to turn off the ARM button Click on ACTIVE to open the cover, click again to turn off the ACTIVE button Close the overhead panel
TIP
Passing 15,000 feet Press RAD NAV
Enter 110.50 (the frequency for the 25R ILS) Press LSK3L ILS/FREQ to enter this as the ILS frequency Note the value changes to 110.50 at LSK3L (ILS) also at LSK1L (VOR) Close the MCDU NOTE
You can check any VOR or ILS frequency in the AIRAC database, for example: Press DATA Press RUNWAYS LSK3L Enter VVTS25R Press LSK1L note the ILS and other data Press F-PLAN to exit
The ATIS should come in about 33 miles from VTV (Vung Tau). When it does, make a note of the current altimeter setting, temperature and wind direction/speed. Once you got the necessary details, open the pedestal and push the Swap button again to move the ATIS out of the Active window (this stops the ATIS transmission).
Passing 10,000 feet STD will flash in the PFD press B or click the BARO knob You might need to press CTRL+B to reset the altimeter (or Shift+B depending on your keyboard assignment see the notes on page 14) Open the overhead panel, turn on the Landing Lights and Seat Belt signs Set range display to 40

We have been told to anticipate vectors for the ILS25R, so well get ready to use selected heading and altitude modes 5 miles short of VTV (Vung Tau) VOR check in upper right of ND Pull (right click) on the HDG knob to change to selected mode The current heading (approx 014) will appear in the HDG window 1 mile short of VTV (Vung Tau) VOR ATC MESSAGE Cathay 734, turn left heading 350, descend to 5000 feet. Set the HDG knob to 350 the aircraft will turn onto the new heading Set the ALT to 5000 ft and pull (right click) the ALT selector knob At 5000 feet Open the MCDU Press PERF Press ACTIVATE APPR PHASE Press CONFIRM APPR PHASE Enter 200 Press LSK3R to enter 200 as the DH Note the APPR speeds The aircraft will slow to O speed Press FUEL PRED, confirm GW is less than MLW of 396.0 k/lbs Press RAD NAV Enter 320 (a nearby NDB, called ANLOC) well use it later Press LSK5L to enter this value into ADF1/FREQ Set the VOR/ADF 2 selector on the EFIS panel to ADF (fully left) Select EFIS display control to NAV to display the ADF in ROSE mode in ND Monitor the ADF needle (the green arrow) as we will make a turn to intercept the ILS when the needle moves down to point to 050. Close the MCDU Arm spoilers (SHIFT + /), confirm on upper ECAM Set AUTOBRAKE to MED Press ILS on EFIS panel, confirm 110.50 in PFD (lower left)
