+ | ===== Landing Analysis ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | After you started an approach in this section your approach will be tracked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-select-airport.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally you have the option to select a near airport directly by just clicking on the ICAO code of the airport that you want to approach. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :i: Note: Selecting an airport here does not change your aircraft position. This just provides you with the option to activate the approach statistics if you approach an airport manually without positioning your aircraft on an approach position first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Approach Details ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-details.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | This section shows some details about the current approach like the airport, runway and some visibility information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Landing Report ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-landing-report.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the approach has been completed and the aircraft is landed, this landing report shows detailed information about how well the landing was. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Localizer Deviation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-localizer-deviation.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The localizer deviation graph shows the horizontal deviation from the runway localizer (center of the runway) on your approach. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the graph line goes to the top of the graph the aircraft is left from the localizer and if the line goes to the bottom the aircraft is right from the localizer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Glideslope Deviation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-altitude.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the lower approach graph the current aircraft altitude above mean sea level (MSL) as well as the ground altitude is shown. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The yellow straight line shows the ideal glideslope. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the runway is ILS enabled the correct runway-specific glideslope degree will be used. Otherwise the default of 3° will be used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Print Approach Statistics ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-print-approach-statistics.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The whole approach statistics can be printed with the button ''Print Approach Statistics''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Reset ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/statistics/approach-reset.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the button ''Reset'' to reset the approach statistics again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Settings ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Approach Training ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These settings are related to the [[products:approach-training]] module. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === General === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/steam/approach-training/settings-appraoch-training-general.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can enable or disable some automatizations after an aircraft position is changed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First choose if pause should be enabled after aircraft move. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally you can define if the program should automatically switch to the Landing Analysis when an approach is started. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Furthermore you can choose here if the scenery should be reloaded after a position is changed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :i: Note: The forced scenery reload is enabled by default as disabling it may lead to unexpected results (like aircraft crash) especially if the new location is far away from the old one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Final Position === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-final.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here you can define the distance of the short and long final approach as well as a vertical and horizontal offset to the glideslope if you want. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Vectors Position === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-vectors.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The distances for the vector positions can be changed here as well as the final intercept angle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Base Position === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-base.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Define here the distances for the base positions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Downwind Position === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-downwind.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here you can define the lateral distance to the runway for the downwind positions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In contrast to the other positions where the altitude is calculated based on the runway glideslope automatically, the altitude for the downwind positions can be customized here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Airworks === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-airworks.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can define the flight levels of the four airworks buttons here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Options on Position Change === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/position-options-change.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Depending on the aircraft capabilities you can change the parameters that are used when the aircraft is positioned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This includes whether the heading, course (CRS) respectively omni bearing selector (OBS) or ILS frequency (if the runway is ILS enabled) should be set automatically with the aircraft position change to a certain approach. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Landing Analysis ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These settings are related to the Landing Analysis module. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Color Settings === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this area you can customize all colors used to draw the statistics graphs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/statistics-colors-type.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | All colors can be defined per display type. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Therefore please first select if you want to change the colors for the normal in program display or for printout. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Revert to Defaults == | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/features/settings/statistics-colors-revert-to-defaults.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can easily revert all colors to their defaults by using the ''Revert to Defaults'' button. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Colors for Display Type == | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/steam/approach-training/settings-landing-analysis-colors-table.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here all currently defined colors are displayed for the selected display type. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click on any of the button to select a different color. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Print Options === | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/steam/approach-training/settings-landing-analysis-print-options.png?nolink|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | For statistics printing you can define here which printer should be used. |
