Dfw Rnav Sids
Guys/Gals
Be careful when climbing out of DFW during RNAV SID's in strong cross winds. For the Embraer, the FD may initially indicate a turn in the opposite direction of the true course. This can cause you to drift toward the center of airport and maybe in the departure path of the aircraft departing from the other side of the field. Just trying to give a heads up. Make sure your FMS's are correct and Be careful! |

maybe it's time to simulate this in the sim.

Ahh, you guys are the reason why we get the company message every other week about checking the sid. :D

I've got a buddy (XJT) who was called to an ASAP meeting for this exact thing.

We just gotta make sure that the FD is giving the correct info before we start doing what it says.

Make sure your FMS's are correct and Be careful! Be sure to watch out on those "cold and light" days too. When you make that climb sooner, rather than later to the "float'n fix (altitude)"...the FMS will from time to time get confused and try to fly an "intercept to fix" radial (turn the wrong way) instead of making a direct turn to the first "hard" fix on the SID. Not nearly as common on the E145's unless the load is very light or with the strong x-winds that ERJF15 mentioned, but have seen this more than once when fly'n the few E135's that pass thru DFW (not to mention, a couple of times on the E140's too). Remember...be safe out there, and verify it before y'all fly it! ;) AV8N101 |
At XJ, they don't even let us hand-fly those things...A/P n at 600ft!

A/P is what will get you in trouble in THIS situation.

It's been an option at EGL. Problem is, you click on the AP and then you'll ask the Airbus question...now what is this thing doing? "EGL 1234...call this numebr when you get to BFE! Also, BOHIC!" |
