Description
This app provides a fully functional buttons/switches and systems responses to them. The following flight deck systems and panels are included in this app:
- Control Display Unit (CDU); All FMS pages.
- Display Select Panel (DSP) and Multifunction Display (MFD).
- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) and Navigation Display (ND)
- Mode Control Panel (MCP) and Primary Flight Display (PFD)
- The following overhead panels: HYD, FUEL,FUEL JETTISON, AIR COND, BLD AIR, ANTI-ICE, PRESSURIZATION, ELECTRICAL, LIGHTING and the synoptic display reaction to the buttons and switches.
- Electronic Checklists (ECL): Normal and Non-Normal
- Performance results and graphs
- Real pictures with high resolution taken in the 777 cockpit for every panel providing it with very realistic and clear view when zooming.
Please pay attention to the following to avoid any misunderstanding before purchase (refund can be obtained via app store if this app is not what you were looking for!):
This is not a gaming app, it is an educational app. The aircraft does NOT simulate any movement. It considers the aircraft being still on ground with engines running. Some aircraft systems (such as CDU, HYDRAULIC system auto logic ... etc) will respond as it would in a real pre-flight scenario.
ECL pages are not interactive (except for FUEL IMBALANCE page).
All COMM pages are also available (not interactive)
There is only ONE route flight plan (from OMDB - OOMS). The intention is to simulate how all the waypoints respond with the ND and with the other pages of the CDU. It is not the intention of this app to fly them or do any kind of approach or landing
The performance calculations and predictions of the FMS such as (predicted Flight Level, time, fuel, ECON, EO SPD, weight ....etc) are estimate and may not represent accurate values. Graphs examples are provided to show how FMS generates these performance data. These graphs are based on a training model aircraft and may not represent actual model values
FMS Navigation data (VOR, Fixes, AIRPORTS ...etc) that are allowed for entry are shown as a note next the relevant FMS page.
EICAS messages in the upper display unit are currently unresponsive in this app version.
"B777 Flight Deck" is a one time payment app (No annual subscription is required). With any improvement made, a new updated version will be released for free.
This app is mostly suitable for either new joiners to B777 or even experienced commercial pilots who are currently grounded and would like to brush up on their knowledge. It can be used alongside your Boeing FCOM / QRH to see how each system will actually respond. Nevertheless, it is important to note that, due to updates and downgrades as well as airlines customization and various procedures, each airline's FMS, ECL and other systems may differ from the others. As a result, this app is to be used as secondary in precedence to all operational references and it does not substitute for proper certified training.
