Default Anyone practicing w a virtual CDU ( FMS -747

Hi,

I’d sure like to practice, on my computer, with a virtual CDU (FMS) for the 74. Things we don’t typically practice on the line except during PC’s:

Intercepting radials & airway's etc…..

Any recommendations?

Cheers!

Can't believe we have part 121 carriers still doing PC. I've flown the 74 for 5 years and the only thing that comes in handy is doing PPOS holds.

Aerowinx. Not cheap but totally worth it.

Well, Giant has acknowledged a turn towards AQP. With that said (last year), it will be a long time coming. I thought this past summer would have been my last PC, but my guess is another PC this summer and perhaps the next…

Giant for one. Now, did you say inbound or outbound?

K4 does as well, though we have AQP. Known to some as “KQP.”

Extending the Centerline comes to mind.

I had to do a departure the other day.
Runway heading until 3.5 DME, left turn to another DME then back to the right to intercept a radial outbound
