PMDG NG question - Galih Prasetya - 24-02-2006 Hi guys, anybody know how to limit the bank angle in PMDG NG when flying in LNAV mode? The autopilot always gave me something like 25 degrees when flying at mach .80 ! Thanks Re: PMDG NG question - ivo - 24-02-2006 Yes just use the knob that is also the HDG SEL knob. The are markings like AUTO, 5, 10, 15 etc. Just turn that knob and you're set Re: PMDG NG question - Galih Prasetya - 24-02-2006 dunno why, but that doesn't work for me on LNAV mode....that knob only works when you select the heading using HDG selector Re: PMDG NG question - WBHoenig - 24-02-2006 Hmm... LNAV always gives me nice smooth turns. Re: PMDG NG question - runibl - 24-02-2006 As I understand it, "Bank Limiter" doesn't work for LNAV. Re: PMDG NG question - Galih Prasetya - 24-02-2006 yes, but when I saw flightdeck movies from ITVV, during cruise they always keep it around 5 degrees bank angle and I bet "real" pax wont be happy for more than 10 degrees at mach .80 Re: PMDG NG question - runibl - 24-02-2006 Usually you don't feel the turns if done right, i have been in a 25 degree turn many times while in flight as passenger. I never really felt it. LNAV should be able to give you smooth turns though. Re: PMDG NG question - Galih Prasetya - 24-02-2006 I have read the whole FMC section on PMDG manual, but there's nothing about bank limiter Re: PMDG NG question - runibl - 24-02-2006 Nope, LNAV and fmc doesn't have bank limiter. The FMC calculates the turn by itself. Re: PMDG NG question - Galih Prasetya - 24-02-2006 so, 20+ degrees bank angle is ok for mach .80? i dunno what happen in real world aviation, but IMO that's still too sharp... Re: PMDG NG question - runibl - 24-02-2006 All I know is that i have experienced a 20+ degree turn in cruise, and i wouldn't have noticed it unless i looked out the windows. But since i didn't have a speedometer at my side, I can't be sure what the speed was. My best guess would be roughly .76 Re: PMDG NG question - ivo - 24-02-2006 LNAV usually gives me good smooth turns. Sometimes 20* is okay.
