Oh, it does coupled VNAV too. You'll learn it in actual practice out on the line, as it won't help you much in the sim. All steam gauges on the 100s.
Interesting, on the Q400 we have dual UNS FMS and VNAV, we can do RNP 0.1 and LPV approaches as well as CAT3 with the hud..A lot of our outstations have nothing to VNAV to so we just end up eyeballing it or building our own solution but the vnav feature is nice.
Would it be possible for a street captain to hold PHL? How are your reserve rules? How many times can they assign you airport/ready etc.
