emergencies possible future mod

Post by alan CXA651 »

Hi.
While on this longhaul flight from PHNL/RJTT direct , a thought as occured to me , is it possible in a future mod , to have in shift 3 window under MISC a title like plot course to nearest , which would instruct the navigator to plot a course to the nearest suitable airfield , when emergencys that req a diversion happens.

Hmmmm could be cool or if they allow a gtn650 or gps in the flight deck then you could just do a direct to nearest.

Hi.
Dont be so cruel as to suggest a gps :shock: , this is a loverly old bird , my suggestion is just to get the navigator to do what would happen in a real emergency , pilots/engineer deal with the systems emergency, and pilot would instruct the nav to plot a course to nearest suitable airport , the navigators plot could then show on your map say in real time so there would be a delay before the plot shows.

Some of the add-on ATCs allow declaring an emergency. I use PF3 ATC, there I can configure the suitable length of airports in an aircraft profile, and when I declare an emergency, it selects a suitable runway near my location and vectors me to it.

The more i think about it, the challenge is in finding the airport suitable and then getting there.

This is part of the flight planning, not that I do it, but it may be a good idea to look at this when choosing the route
Kind Regards
