2015年12月4日 · Hi Aaron, A step climb is simply a way of keeping the aircraft at (or near) the optimum altitude at any given moment in the flight. The optimum (i.e. most fuel-efficient) altitude is a function primarily of aircraft weight, so if you're on a long-haul flight with lots of fuel on board then at the start your optimum may be quite low (obviously entirely dependent on aircraft type …

2014年5月9日 · Step climb has to be initiated by the flight crew. PMDG provide a Auto step climb function in the FMC options. Not sure about the last question.. Both the real T7 and PMDG provide optimal step climb calculations by default. You don't have to enter any step climbs manually. Fill out the performance pages, route, cost index etc..

2012年4月6日 · In the top right of your cruise page there is a 'step to' line. Enter what altitude you want to step to and the FMC will tell you when it is optimal to climb to that altitude. When it's time put the step climb altitude into your cruise altitude and set your MCP altitude to the next altitude and you should start climbing.

2012年3月10日 · Ie if you are at FL370 and wish to step climb to FL390, the FMC will allow a climb when Optimum is FL380.As the above video shows, It may be an idea to hold off on that climb if there is turbulence or icing till Optimum is actually at FL390 to give more of a speed range between high and low speed buffet (yellow line on speed tape in the NGX ...

2018年11月7日 · The auto step climb should be working with manually entered step climbs, unless there is an issue with buffet margins or other safety considerations. Nothing changed the auto step climb feature in the last update. Need more specifics if you want to go down this specific case any deeper. Lots of specifics.

2025年1月17日 · How do I deal with step climbs? If Cruise level is FL200 after loading from Simbrief, first two legs are that but after that FLP says FL360. If I change Cruise level to FL360 all navpoints are changed to FL360 that is wrong first two nav points should be FL200. How do I do, is it ATC that will te...

2013年9月4日 · Auto step climb, if enabled, will allow the FMC to go ahead and do a step climb if all the required conditions are met. If it is disabled, then the PIC must initiate the step climb manually. (Just re-read your post, one of the required conditions for a step climb is that the altitude on the MCP must at at or above your target altitude.

2016年1月17日 · 1) Step climb: To perform a step climb with the T7, you have to set the new altitude on the MCP, wait for the indication "Now" and then press the Alt intervene button on the MCP. The AP will then switch to VNAV SPD and THR REF and climb to the new altitude. 2) Step size: The box step size allows you enter the size of the steps you want to be ...

2018年9月4日 · Without the auto step climb feature turned on no it will not automatically climb. You are right in how to program the steps though. But for normal use those steps are programmed for fuel and time predictions. The crew will still need to dial the new altitude into the mcp and press the altitude selector knob to activate the step.

2011年8月14日 · Jack,The climb itself is easy - like you explaind. The question is, foe example, I'm cruzing at FL340. The FMC advise OPT FL373 / MAX 378. When typing FL360 for the step climb, the STEP POINT is UNABLE.
