"THANK YOU" everyone


1.01: "INTRODUCTION".

It is important to appreciate there is no such thing as a standard B727 aircraft. B727 aircraft differ in terms of their size, engine power ratings, and certified weights, and other post production aerodynamic modifications.

Most previously released B727 simulations focus on just a number of specific engine and weight related configurations for each class of B727 aircraft. The B727 flight line offered by HJG represent each of the most common production versions, as well as some of the most major post production modifications applied to this aircraft family.

PLEASE NOTE: HJG B727 AIRCRAFT BASE PACKS, AND SMOKE EFFECTS, ARE FS2004 COMPATIBLE AND FSX PORTABLE.

ALL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES DRAFTED WITHIN THESE NOTES ARE FS2004 SPECIFIC. FSX USERS MUST REFER TO THE "FSX" SPECIFIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WHICH ACCOMPANY EACH FILE.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: THESE B727 PANELS MAY NOT WORK AS INTENDED IF USED WITH NON-HJG SUPPLIED B727 MODEL AND FDE COMBINATIONS.

1.06: "AIRCRAFT/ENGINE TYPE PANELS & FEATURES".

The HJG B727 project is composed of each of the following major aircraft panel configurations ....

- B727-100 early panel - (P&W JT8D-7 .... non-INS/AT equipped)


- B727-100 late panel - (P&W JT8D-9 .... non-INS/AT equipped)


- B727-200 panel (P&W JT8D-7 .... INS equipped)


- B727-200 panel (P&W JT8D-9 .... INS equipped)

Any combination of the above-listed designations identifies the precise configuration of each individual 3D B727-200 model. Similar designations will be applied to each of the B727-100 model versions in the future.

"BOEING 727 MODEL ANIMATIONS"

All HJG supplied PAX version 3D B727-200 V2.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits with folding air stairs .... within the following range limitations.



All HJG supplied freighter/SCD version 3D B727-200 V2.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and port side forward fuselage main deck cargo doors .... as well as opening/animated door 1L forward fuselage exits with folding air stairs.



All Door 1 forward fuselage exit folding air stairs, rear fuselage ventral air stairs, and port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door animations (B727-200 SCD subjects only), are controlled per "TAILHOOK, CONCORDE VISOR (EXTEND/RETRACT)", and "WINGFOLD" keyboard commands. These keyboard commands must be "manually assigned" within FS OPTIONS/CONTROLS/ASSIGNMENTS.

- SHIFT + E (open/close Door 1L)
- SHIFT + "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY EXTEND"/F6 (extend folding air stairs)
- SHIFT + "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY RETRACT"/F7 (retract folding air stairs)
- SHIFT + "WINGFOLD" commands (open/close ventral air stairs)
- SHIFT + "TAILHOOK" commands (open/close port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door on all B727-200 freighter/SCD model subjects only .... and starboard side lower forward fuselage cargo hatch on all B727-100 model subjects)

Failure to correctly assign these keyboard commands will result in these animations not functioning.

PLEASE NOTE: The "CONCORDE VISOR FULLY EXTEND/RETRACT" keyboard commands (to animate the folding air stairs at Door 1L) are based on "FS2004 assignments. This animation "cannot" work in FSX. The CONCORDE VISOR commands in FSX are based on a different combination of keyboard assignments .... which "are not" compatible with any of these B727-100/-200 3D models.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: All HJG supplied PAX version 3D B727-100 V1.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits but no folding air stairs animations (that is how these models were supplied to us).

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: All HJG supplied freighter/SCD version 3D B727-100 V1.0 models feature opening/animated ventral/rear fuselage air stairs and Door 1L forward fuselage exits but no folding air stairs or port side forward fuselage main deck cargo door animations.


1.08: "GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION".

Installation of all HJG supplied B727 files is a very easy step-by-step process but should be completed strictly in accordance with the recommended installation procedures which accompany each file download or difficulties may result.

EACH OF THE B727 PANELS MUST BE USED WITH THE CORRECT AIRCRAFT BASE PACK VERSION OR PROBLEMS "WILL" RESULT.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE FOLLOWING AIRCRAFT BASE PACK/PANEL/SOUND PACK ASSIGNMENT NOTES BE STUDIED AND UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO INSTALLING ANY OF THESE FILES. DOING THIS WILL AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS/PROBLEMS AND WILL BE PROMOTING OF GREATER OVERALL ENJOYMENT OF THESE SIMULATIONS.


1.09: "B727 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK INSTALLATION (default FS2004 only procedures)".

Each HJG supplied B727 Aircraft Base Pack file must be installed inside the FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder.

Each HJG supplied B727 Aircraft Base Pack file is composed the following essential elements ....

- MODEL (folder)
- PANEL (folder .... aliased to default MSFS B737-400 Panel)
- SOUND (folder .... aliased to default MSFS B737-400 Sound)
- AIRCRAFT.CFG (file)
- AIR.FILE (file)
- ADDITIONAL TEXTURES (folder .... containing 2 additional BMP files)
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (document)
- HJG EULA (document)

Each individual B727-200 Aircraft Base Pack folder features a container entitled "ADDITIONAL TEXTURES". Inside this folder are 2 texture BMP files which are specific to the models contained within each base pack. Both of these new texture BMP files" must be copied & pasted inside each and every individual texture folder assigned to that particular base pack. These texture BMP´s detail the new air-stairs and/or winglet features associated with each new V2.0 B727-200 model.

All B727 Aircraft Base Pack files are available from the HJG "B727-100" and "B727-200" downloads pages.

PLEASE NOTE: Separate FS2004 and FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG FILES are contained within each HJG supplied B727 Aircraft Base Pack file.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The AIR.FILE data provided within each HJG supplied B727 Aircraft Base Pack file is dual FS2004 and FSX compatible.

PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: AIR.FILE data within each B727-200/F ADVANCED Aircraft Base Pack is identically named (in order to aid/simplify texture/FLTSIM.XX assignments) .... but .... the data contained within each Aircraft Base Pack "IS" different and specific to each aircraft/engine type configuration. This data should not be separated from each Aircraft Base Pack version. Failure to ensure this "WILL" impact the performance of each individual simulation.


1.10: "B727 PANEL INSTALLATION (default FS2004 only procedures)".

Each HJG supplied B727 Panel file should be installed inside the FS2004 "FSFSCONV" folder.

The FSFSCONV folder is located inside the FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder. This recommended installation procedure has been a standard HJG practice over many years past and results in more sensible (we believe) Panel/Aircraft Base Pack aliasing.

The PANEL.CFG file contained inside the default Panel folder supplied with each B727 Aircraft Base Pack file must be aliased to the FSFSCONV folder and the appropriate B727 aircraft type panel .... as per either of the following specimens ....


[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727-100_early_jt8d-7_v2

or ....

or ....

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727-200_adv_super_27_leaps_v2

It is recommended the above panel ALIAS= data (for each individual aircraft/panel engine type version) be "copied & pasted" directly to the default PANEL.CFG file of the corresponding aircraft/engine type in order to avoid potential for typographical errors that will result in these panels not displaying with the selected/installed simulation.

The entire contents (only) of the B727 Panel Gauges/Core Files "GAUGES" container (2X files) must be installed inside the FS2004 "GAUGES" folder.

The entire contents (only) of the B727 Panel Gauges/Core Files "SOUNDS" container (89 X WAV samples) must be installed inside the FS2004 "SOUND" folder (this is the "SOUND" folder inside the "FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9" folder directory and not the default Sound folder inside each aircraft base pack file).

All B727 panels are available from the "B727 PANELS" section of the HJG "BOEING PANELS" downloads page.

Failure to perform either of the above steps correctly "WILL" result in these B727 panels not working properly.

PLEASE NOTE: Use each B727-200 aircraft type/engine type base pack with the above recommended aircraft panel/engine type panel version or difficulties may result.

All B727 panels are available from the "B727 PANELS" section of the HJG "BOEING PANELS" downloads page.


1.11: "B727 SOUND PACKS INSTALLATION (default FS2004 only procedures)".

All HJG supplied B727 sound packs must be installed inside the recommended Aircraft Base Pack folder in order to ensure optimum audio playback quality. These sound packs are compiled in accordance with FDE data. These sound packs are intended to replace the default Sound folders (aliased to the MDFS B737 sounds) supplied with each B727 Aircraft Base Pack file.

3 distinctly different aircraft/engine type sound pack versions (compiled by Benoit PLAMONDON) have been customized for use with HJG supplied B727-100/-200 simulations as follows ....


- B727 P&W JT8D-7
- B727 P&W JT8D-17
- B727 P&W JT8D-217


PLEASE NOTE: P&W JT8D-9 and P&W JT8D-15 specific audio is not provided since there insufficient tonal difference exist between these engine types and what is provided, so, do not qualify for production.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: Customized "AI (AI Traffic), "FD" (Flight Deck), and "WV" (Wing/Cabin View) specific versions of each soundpack are provided. These are described as follows ....


"AI"/AI TRAFFIC SPECIFIC SOUND PACKS: These particular sound pack versions are intended for use by those seeking high-quality audio for their AI B727 Traffic only. Separate "AI" labelled sound packs are compiled for each of the 3 B727 aircraft/engine types provided by HJG. These AI specific sound packs are intended for "FSX use only". Do not use these sound packs with UI/standard aircraft base pack files in either FSX or FS2004. Be sure to download and install the correct aircraft/engine type specific sound pack as prescribed below.

"FD"/FLIGHT DECK SPECIFIC SOUND PACKS: These particular sound pack versions are intended for use by those seeking high-quality audio based on what can be heard internally and from an exclusively "flight deck" perspective only .... whilst also featuring customized external audio too. What is heard on the flight deck is quite different from what is heard in the PAX cabin environment on any aircraft. For e.g .... using these particular sound packs one will be treated to the predominant sound of flight deck based avionics and wind friction noise in proportion to the simulations inflight acceleration but with much less audible engine noise .... and .... when selecting both flaps and landing gear one will hear the "click" of the associated levers along with the muffled "rumble" of the landing gear extension and the associated gear wind noise .... and a whole lot more. Separate "FD" labelled versions of these aircraft/engine type sound packs are provided for FSX and FS2004 specific use. Be sure to download and install the correct FS version and aircraft/engine type sound pack as prescribed below.

"WV"/WING VIEW/CABIN SPECIFIC SOUND PACKS: These sound packs are intended for use by those seeking high-quality audio based on what can be heard internally and from an exclusively "PAX cabin" perspective only.... whilst also featuring customized external audio too. What is heard in the PAX cabin environment is quite different to what is heard on the flight deck on any aircraft. For e.g .... using these particular sound packs one will be treated to the predominant sound of cabin air conditioning and a different type wind friction noise in proportion to the simulations inflight acceleration but with more audible engine noise .... and .... when selecting both flaps and landing gear one will hear the associated flap motors along with a different type of muffled "rumble" of the landing gear extension and gear wind noise .... and a whole lot more. Separate "WV" labelled versions of these aircraft/engine type sound packs are provided for FSX and FS2004 specific use. Be sure to download and install the correct FS version and aircraft/engine type specific sound pack as prescribed below.


PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: These sound packs may be used with non-HJG supplied B727 simulations, but, will not work properly "unless HJG compiled FDE (both the CFG and AIR.FILE data) is used with other simulations". Each of these sound packs are compiled on the basis of HJG supplied FDE parameters. HJG compiled FDE (CFG files principally) may require further editing in order become fully compatibility with other/non-HJG supplied B727 simulations. HJG "CANNOT", at this time, provide assistance/support for its files when used with non-HJG simulations.

All B727 sound packs are available from the "B727 SOUNDS" section of the "BOEING SOUNDS" downloads page.

RECOMMENDED FS AUDIO/SOUND SLIDER SETTINGS

These settings can vary according to both audio equipment and personal preference. For optimum playback quality the following FS2004 based OPTIONS/SETTINGS/SOUND based sliders positions are recommended for use with each of the 3 HJG hosted B727 sound packs ....


FS2004 VERSION SOUND PACKS

- "ENGINES" = 65%
- "cockpit = 30%
- "ENVIRONMENT" = 80%

FSX VERSION SOUND PACKS

- "ENGINES" = 70%
- "cockpit" = as required/preferred
- "ENVIRONMENT" = 100%


Experiment with the above recommended settings first and be prepared to adjust these in accordance with audio hardware capabilities and personal preference.

1.12: "SMOKE EFFECTS".

All HJG B727 Aircraft Base Packs are configured to use the standard HJG supplied B367-80/B707/B720 smoke effects files.

These smoke effects files are currently available from the "AIRCRAFT EFFECTS" downloads section on the HJG website.

All HJG supplied smoke effects must be installed inside the FS9/FS2004 "EFFECTS" folder .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: When used with HJG supplied B727 panels (only) these smoke effects are "auto-generating" at high engine RPM.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: If using non-HJG supplied B727 panels with these simulations these smoke effects must be "manually toggled" ON/OFF using the standard FS keyboard "I" smoke command.


1.13: "B727 TEXTURE FILES".

HJG provide well in excess of 200 individual airline/operator liveries for both B727-100 and B727-200 simulations. This selection is constantly growing with most HJG website updates. HJG´s selection of B727 liveries/texture represent a wide range of both classic and lesser known liveries spanning the 1960´s, 70´s, 80´s, 90´s era and up to relatively recent times.

Any B727-100 texture file can be applied to any B727-100 Aircraft Base Pack model. B727-100 textures are not compatible with B727-200 models.

Any B727-200 texture file can be applied to any B727-200 Aircraft Base Pack model. B727-200 textures are not compatible with B727-100 models.

Select the texture/s of choice .... this will determine which particular Aircraft Base Pack/s are required.

In order to determine what liveries/textures should be used with which Aircraft Base Packs and 3D models .... refer to the following linked HJG B727 TEXTURE INVENTORY ....

tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/6297/vl-hjg-b727-texture-inventory

Open the above linked "B727 TEXTURE INVENTORY".

Scroll down to the B727-200 SERIES listings.

Locate ones aircraft texture subject/s of choice .... per its aircraft type name, airline identity, livery date (and aircraft registration in some cases too).

Note the recommended Aircraft Base Pack and Model assignments listed beside each subject.

Apply that particular texture subject of choice to the recommended Aircraft Base Pack file .... THEN .... edit the recommended Model file name for that particular texture into the MODEL= data line within FLTSIM.XX component/s of the AIRCRAFT.CFG file .... and then "SAVE THAT EDIT".

Each individual B727-200 SERIES aircraft base pack file contains a new container entitled "ADDITIONAL TEXTURES". The contents of this container (2 texture BMP files). must be copied & pasted inside "each and every individual texture folder" assigned to that particular base pack. These additional texture BMP files detail the air-stairs and/or winglet features associated with each new V2.0 B727-200 model.

All B727 textures are available from the HJG "B727-100" and "B727-200" downloads pages.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to perform either of the above steps correctly will result in these B727 models and/or their textures not displaying within the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: Some of the new HJG B727-200 SERIES models (only) contained within each Aircraft Base Pack may not yet be represented by airline/operator textures. HJG will grow into using these models in due course. In the meantime .... a set of fully detailed blank/white tail PAX and freighter version aircraft texture sets are provided by HJG for use with any these models and may be downloaded "HERE" ....

www.simviation.com/hjg/publicpaintkits/hjg_b727-200__blank_textures.zip





Installation instructions for these blank textures .... along with various FLTSI.XX base pack options for these also .... are included within the ZIP file.


1.14: "EASIER IDENTIFICATION - MSFS AIRCRAFT SELECTION MENU"

This information is "purely optional" on the part of the end user.

All HJG B727-100/200 subjects will/should, by default, appear within the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu in accordance with the following
designations ....

- Boeing 727-100
- Boeing 727-100C
- Boeing 727-100F
- Boeing 727-100QC
- Boeing 727-100QC/IGW
- Boeing 727-200
- Boeing 727-200F
- Boeing 727-200 ADV
- Boeing 727-200F ADV
- Boeing 727-200 RE SUPER 27
- Boeing 727-200F RE SUPER 27

These designations are governed by the information is edited into the UI MANUFACTURER data line (which for these aircraft subjects always reads "BOEING") and the UI TYPE data line (which for all these aircraft subjects always reads "727" .... followed by the specific aircraft series type name) within the texture/FLTSINM.XX component/s of any AIRCRAFT.CFG file.

PLEASE NOTE: These MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu designations can be made to read more specifically and in accordance with actual aircraft/engine type configurations .... "if desired".

Given the variation of aircraft/engine type base pack options now offered by HJG .... this is (perhaps) not a silly idea and is very easily accomplished as follows ....

Simply edit the UI TYPE data line .... after its aircraft type designation .... to read in accordance with the actual Aircraft Base Pack engine type designation as follows ....

In the case of a P&W JT8D-7 powered B727-100 aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-100 JT8D-7

Or in the case of a P&W JT8D-9 powered B727-100 aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-100 JT8D-9

Or in the case of a P&W JT8D-7 powered B727-200 aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-200 JT8D-7

In the case of a P&W JT8D-9 powered B727-200 aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-200 JT8D-9

Or in the case of a P&W JT8D-7 powered B727-200 ADVANCED aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-200 ADV JT8D-7

Or in the case of a P&W JT8D-9 powered B727-200 ADVANCED aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-200 ADV JT8D-9

Or in the case of a P&W JT8D-15 powered B727-200 ADVANCED aircraft ....

UI TYPE=727-200 ADV JT8D-15

Or .... in the case of a P&W JT8D-17 powred B727-200 ADVANCED aircraft ....
UI TYPE=727-200 ADV JT8D-17

etc

The above examples .... when applied to the UI TYPE data line component of any AIRCRAFT.CFG file will then force the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu to display these installations in accordance with their manufacturer, aircraft type, and engine type names .... thereby clarifying the precise configuration of each installation. In the case each of the above specimens these subjects will then appear within the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu as follows ....

"Boeing
727-100 JT8D-7"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-100 JT8D-9"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 JT8D-7"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 JT8D-9"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 ADV JT8D-7"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 ADV JT8D-9"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 ADV JT8D-15"

Or ....

"Boeing
727-200 JT8D-17"

etc

If desired .... the specific model file name/suffix may also be added .... in order to even further define the exact configuration of any installed/displayed aircraft version.


1.15: "KNOWN ISSUES".

Some "VERY MINOR" issues are known to exist among the HJG hosted VISTALINERS B727 simulations .... HOWEVER .... the end user is not, in any way, disadvantaged by these. The minor flaws which are known to exist are as follows ....

- The white wingtip strobe lighting on "some" HJG supplied B727 models may appear displaced during flight. This is due to the GMAX wing flex effect during flight and this lighting not being hard coded into the 3D model/s.

- Both port and starboard outboard aileron surfaces function correctly (in opposing axis) in response to control input whilst on the ground, but, function incorrectly (both deflecting in the same axis) in response to control input during manual flight. This "DOES NOT" affect flight performance. This particular issue affects the B727-200 V2 simulations only. The solution to this particular issue has been found and will be applied to future B727-200 aircraft base packs .... as soon as these can be released.

- An issue has been reported in relation to the MG and NG Contact Points for all V2.0 B727-200 3D models.

PLEASE NOTE: This issue "DOES NOT" apply to any of the V1.0 B727-100 3D models.

Apply this revision as follows ....

Open the AIRCRAFT .CFG filer for each V2.0 B727-200 version (only).

Scroll down to the CONTACT POINTS section.

Delete the entire existent CONTACTS POINTS section data .... and replace it with the new/revised CONTACT POINTS data section below ....

The above CONTACT POINTS revision "WILL"/should satisfactorily resolve this particular issue .... "DO NOT" apply this edit to any B727-100 version

- A typographical error has been noted within the AIRCRAFT.CFG stated WEIGHT & BALANCE data for a number of the V2 B727-200's we currently offer. The STATION LOAD entries for some (not all) B727-200's do not currently read in numerical sequence. These should be edited so as to then read "in numerical sequence". This error barely (if at all) impacts flight handling characteristics for each of the implicated B27-200's, but, should be manually edited/corrected anyway. The fix will be mandatorily applied to future B737-200 aircraft base packs .... as soon as these can be released.

- Wing Views "are not" not featured among any of our B727-200's .... these are an element associated with the 3D models and not CFG data. The Wing Views associated with the original V1 B727-200 3D models were lost during recompilation of the newer models we currently offer. This particular issue "DOES NOT" affect the B727-100 3D models we currently offer as these are still the original V1 productions .... though this may change in the future.

"PLEASE" .... do not contact us in regard to the above-mentioned issues. HJG may, in time, be able to rectify these. Once again these particular issues are

"EXTREMELY MINOR" and "WILL NOT" detract from anyones enjoyment of any these otherwise fine simulations.


1.16: A FEW FINAL WORDS.

Any features of these simulations (particularly in regard to the panels) not covered within these notes are more than adequately discussed within the "B727 MANUAL" available on the "B727 PANELS" section of the HJG "BOEING PANELS" downloads page. It is recommended this information be downloaded and studied carefully

It is important to appreciate the supplied B727 panels represent fairly complex FS engineering .... and re-engineering by HJG.

Each file provided has been individually checked for functionality prior to uploading.

Each file provided was noted to perform "FINE" .... or it simply would not be uploaded here.

Despite this and our endeavours to provide the best possible classic/historic jetliner "FREEWARE", it is not inconceivable that some oversights might have occurred, or, that difficulties might be encountered by some .... perhaps due only to the extensive variability among PC systems today rather than end user faults. HJG will try and assist troubleshooting any reported issues that arise, but "kindly understand" that whatever occurs on one PC system "may not be universally experienced". All issues should be addressed on the "BOEING AIRCRAFT SUPPORT" page of the HJG forum.

During AP controlled flight .... the AP "ALT HLD" switch must be engaged in order to enable and maintain level cruise at any selected altitude.

PLEASE NOTE: Prior to manually capturing a pre-selected altitude value the simulations ROC/ROD should first be reduced to no more than 200 FPM .... within the last 200 FT of climb/descent toward any target altitude in order to ensure the smoothest possible altitude capture when the AP "ALT HLD" switch is engaged.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The AP system featured in HJG supplied B727 panels is (intentionally) not equipped with an auto-altitude capture function.

During AP controlled flight .... AP "HDG HLD" and "VOR/LOC" functions are engaged using separate switches.

PLEASE NOTE .... only 1 of either of these AP modes may be engaged at any time during AP controlled flight.

During AP controlled flight .... engaging the AP "HDG HLD" switch enables the simulation to acquire, and stabilize on, any selected heading to which the Main Panel HSI gauge Heading cursor has been set. The simulations acquired heading may then be further altered using the HSI gauge Heading cursor whilst the AP "HDG HLD" switch remains engaged.

PLEASE NOTE .... during AP controlled/HDG coupled auto-flight the Main Panel FD mode selector switch should be set to its corresponding "HDG" detente.

During AP controlled flight .... setting the AP mode rotary switch to its "VOR/LOC" detente enables the simulation to acquire, and stabilize on, any selected VOR/LOC course to which the Main Panel HSI gauge course indicator has been set.

PLEASE NOTE: During AP controlled VOR/LOC coupled auto-flight the Main Panel FD mode selector switch must be set to its "VOR/LOC" detente in order to enable any capture. Prior to acquiring any targeted VOR/LOC course the Main Panel Autopilot Mode Anunciator will display amber lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" NAV related indications .... confirming the simulation is seeking the targeted course. Upon acquiring the targeted VOR/LOC course the Main Panel Autopilot Mode Anunciator will then display green lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" NAV related indications .... confirming that the targeted course value has been acquired. Upon intercepting the preselected VOR/LOC course the AP "HDG HLD" switch will auto-disengage.

AP HDG mode should be used to establish the simulation on, or near, a targeted VOR/LOC course/radial prior to engaging the AP "VOR/LOC" mode .... then .... AP "VOR/LOC" mode engaged in order to capture the selected course/radial. See SECTION 2.13: "HSI GAUGE & HDG/VOR NAVIGATION MODE" below.


2.04: COMBINED ADF1/2, TRANSPONDER, WEATHER RADAR, & INS SUB PANEL.



This particular sub panel is commanded into view using the "WX"(or "WX/INS") icon featured among the bank of 10 sub panel selection icons arranged horizontally .... along the bottom left of each Main Panel view.

The ADF1/2 .... and Transponder radios .... are included as part of the WX (WX/INS) sub panel.

A radio frequency selector knob is located below each ADF1/2 radio (2 selector knobs in total).

Mouse-Clinking on the left side side of either selector knob raises and lowers the first digit of the 3-digit prefix displayed within each radio frequency window. Mouse-Clinking inside the center of either selector knob raises and lowers the second digit of the 3-digit prefix displayed within each radio frequency window.

2.09: AUTO-THROTTLE SYSTEM.



HJG supplied B727-200 ADVANCED and B727-200 ADVANCED RE SUPER 27 (only) panels/simulations are AT equipped.

HJG supplied B727-100 (only) panels/simulations are non-AT equipped.

The AT represented in these panels may be used during climb, cruise, descent, and approach to landing.

The AT represented within these panels is not intended to be used for T/O .... but .... engaging the AT switch in conjunction with the G/A icon results in a TOGA-like response.
PLEASE NOTE: This particular T/O method "IS NOT" endorsed by HJG

Using the AT system in these panels requires the yellow airspeed Bug, inside the ASI gauge rim, being set to the desired AT airspeed value using the AT speed bug adjustment knob located outside the lower left rim of the ASI gauge .... then the AT Switch (located above the APA gauge on the Main Panel) engaged.

Upon being engaged the AT will adjust engine power in order to acquire, and maintain, the selected AT controlled airspeed value.

Using non-AT equipped HJG supplied B727 panels/simulations .... engine power must be set manually, constantly checked, and adjusted if necessary in order to maintain the acquired/intended airspeed performance.

During any AT coupled approach to landing .... the AT will automatically disengage at 50 FT.

During any AT coupled approach to landing .... and with up to 20 degrees of flap selected .... and prior to the landing gear being extended .... the AT system may, in cases of excess airspeed or ROD, cycle/retard engine power to its minimum detente .... therefore triggering the Gear Warning Horn. This alarm cannot be silenced until either the landing gear has been extended, or, the AT next auto-accelerates engine power above its minimum detente, or the AT system is disengaged and engine power manually adjusted/increased.

In order to avoid nuisence gear warning indications .... pay close attention to airspeed and the ROD during any approach to landing .


2.10: ASI GAUGE AIRSPEED BUGS IN RELATION TO FLAP SETTINGS & V-REF COMPUTATIONS.



On the ground .... mouse-clicking the center of the ASI will automatically set the airspeed bugs for T/O speeds in conjunction with the auto-calculated weight of the simulation.

Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "once" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 15 computations for T/O. Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "once" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 20 computations for T/O. Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "thrice" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 25 computations for T/O.

Setting the ASI bugs will auto-generate the following V-REF call-outs during any T/O roll ....

- "80K KNOTS"
- "V1"
- "ROTATE"

Failure to set the ASI speed Bugs prior to commencing any T/O will result in these call-outs being auto-generated well below the correct V-REF .... resulting in a prolonged rotation and/or risk of a stall and crash soon after T/O.

Inflight .... mouse-clicking the center of the ASI will automatically set the airpeed bugs for approach to landing airspeed in conjunction with the auto-calculated weight of the simulation.

Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "once" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 15 computations for approach to landing. Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "twice" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 30 computations for approach to landing. Mouse-Clicking the center of the ASI "thrice" will automatically set the airspeed bugs to FLAP 30 computations for approach to landing.

Failure to set the ASI speed Bugs prior to commencing any approach to landing will result the approach likely being flown at excessive airspeed and the possibility of difficulties with the landing.

The maximum flap detente in each HJG supplied B727 panels is "FLAP 35".

PLEASE NOTE: The maximum flap detente in each HJG supplied B727 200 ADV LEAPS" and "B727-200 ADV QW2" panel is "FLAP 25".

For reasons of noise abatement a "FLAP 30" detente is quite sufficient for any normal approach to landing. A "FLAP 35" setting is typically used only in emergency or other abnormal procedures situations.


2.11: RADIO ALTIMETER & GPWS CALLOUTS.



The Radio Altimeter is located between the AI and Altimeter gauges on the Main Panel .... and is set/adjusted using the RA selector knob located at the bottom right of this instrument.

Setting an RA value will trigger a "MINIMUMS" GPWS callout in response to the selected altitude value during any approach to landing.

All HJG B727 panels are equipped with a GPWS system featuring the following (BOEING type) auto-generated altitude call-outs during any approach to landing ....

- "TWENTY-FIVE-HUNDRED"
- "500"
- "100"
- "50"
- "40"
- "30"
- "20"
- "10"

In addition to the above altitude callouts the following auto-generated GPWS warning indications are also included ....

- "GLIDESLOPE"
- "TOO LOW FLAP"
- "TOO LOW GEAR"
- "TERRAIN/TERRAIN"
- "WOOP/WHOOP/PULL-UP"


2.12: FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM.



A functional (in test mode only) Fire Detection System is represented in HJG supplied B727 Panels .... featuring large engine #1/#2/#3 fire warning handle lamps .... and a small Wheel Well fire warning lamp.

Mouse-clicking on either one of the engine #1/#2/#3 fire warning lamps extends the cover for the respective engine fire warning handle.

Setting the Fire Detection System test switch (located to the right of the number engine #3 fire warning lamp) to its "left position" will result in the engine fire detection lamps illuminating and auto-triggering of the fire detection system bell .... "after being depressed for approximately 10 seconds".

Mouse-Clicking on any of the fire warning handles (for either engines #1/#2/#3) will also result in the selected engine shutting down .... "after 25 seconds". It may not then be possible to restart the shutdown engine inflight.




Setting the Fire Detection System test switch to its "right position" will result in the the Wheel Well fire detection lamp illuminating and auto-triggering of the fire detection system bell .... "after being depressed for approximately 10 seconds".


2.13: HSI GAUGE & HDG/VOR NAVIGATION MODE.



The HSI gauge represented in HJG B727 panels features both HDG and VOR course selector knobs. Mouse-Clicking close to the center left or center right of either selector knob advances (+ or -) the respective cursors per 1 degree increments. Mouse-Clicking outside the center left or center right of either selector knob advances (+ or -) the respective cursors per 10 degree increments. See SECTION 2.03: "COMBINED NAV1/2, COM1/2, & AUTOPILOT SUB PANEL" above


b]2.14: ALTITUDE ALERTER.[/b]



An Altitude Alerter gauge is featured within HJG B727 panels. Using the altitude selector knob, located at the bottom right of the Altitude Aletter gauge, any altitude value may be dialed into this particular gauge .... in units of 100 FT. As the simulation climbs/descends to within 900 Ft of any pre-selected target altitude the altitude alert tone will be auto-triggered. The altitude alert tone will also be auto-triggered should the simulation climb in excess of 300 FT above the pre-selected target altitude and without either a level-off/altitude capture or a new altitude value having been entered into the gauge.

PLEASE NOTE: The Altitude Alerter tone simply serves to remind what altitude the simulation is targeting or has been cleared to .... and provide advance warning as to the simulations approaching to, or exceeding, any authorized or pre-selected critical target altitude.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The Altitude Alerter gauge and AP System represented within HJG B727 panels does not (intentionally) feature an auto-altitude capture mode. All altitude captures must be performed manually. See SECTION 4.03: "ACQUIRING CRUISING ALTITUDE AND LEVEL ACCELERATION".

B727 PANELS INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES # 4


UPDATED: July 14th 2017.





B727 PANELS TUTORIAL - Taxiing, T/O, Climb, Descent, and Landing - BASIC OPERATION.

This tutorial assumes the successful startup of all 3 engines as well the correct configuration of all panel systems and that all exits (including the port side forward fuselage maindeck cargo on freighter configured aircraft versions) have been "closed" prior to departure.


4.00: TAXIING.

PLEASE NOTE: Taxiing should not be commenced until all 3 engines are stable after the successful completion of startup procedures.

Set Flaps .... FLAP 15-20 for (for a MGW T/O)

Set Elevator Trim .... 7 units (for a MGW T/O)

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to set slats/flaps and elevator trim prior to increasing engine thrust to commence taxiing will trigger the T/O warning horn.

Set Exterior Lighting/Runway Turnoff lighting switches (only) "ON" prior to taxiing.

Release the brakes .... advance the thrust levers, to reflect an approximately N1 70% (minimum) engine gauge indication, in order to commence slow taxiing.

When the simulation is moving, at a comfortable taxiing speed, then retard the thrust levers to an approximately N1 55% engine indication in order to maintain a decent taxiing speed (approximately 15 KTS). Be prepared to further adjust engine power as necessary in order to control/maintain the established the taxiing speed.

PLEASE NOTE: Engine power settings in relation to taxiing speeds will be governed by the simulations weight as well as the natural FS ground friction phenomenon which can be more apparent with some sceneries than others.


4.01: TAKE OFF - MANUAL MODE.

Upon entering the active runway and prior to accelerating for T/O .... select the Landing Lights "ON".

Check all external lighting switches are "ON".

Check flap/slat and elevator trim settings (TRIM +7 units ,,,, and FLAP 15-20 (for a MGW T/O).

Check the correct/required VOR/ADF radio frequencies have been selected.

Check NAV instruments have been correctly set.

Check the correct/required COM radio frequencies have been selected.

Check that the FD switch is "ON".

Check that a target initial altitude value has been entered into the Altitude Alerter.

Allign the simulation with the runway centerline.

Check the T/O V1, VR, and V2 speed bugs, on the ASI, have been correctly set (T/O and climbout V-speeds must be calculated in accordance with the simulations weight, flap setting, airport altitide, and ambient air temperature etc).

Check that the AT system is "OFF".

Release parking brakes.

Slowly advance engine thrust levers .... and manually set T/O power to the maximum indicated/pre-bugged engine EPR values/limitations (See "SECTION 5.00", BASIC FYING GUIDES, recommended "MAX T/O THRUST" for each B727 version).

PLEASE NOtE: The recommended engine T/O engine thrust settings apply to a 15*C ambient temperature at SL. Other temperature and airport altitude environments will require different power settings).

Ensure engine thrust settings do not exceed the maximum pre-bugged EPR value during any T/O.

T/O power must be achieved by 80 KTS during any T/O roll .... or the T/O attempt abandoned.

Rotation should be commenced slowly as the simulation accelerates through the pre-bugged VR safety speed ("ROTATE" callout) during the T/O roll .... resulting in a smooth lift-off from the runway at, or around, the pre-bugged V2 saftey speed.

Retract landing gear as the VSI needle cycles through its 500 FPM indication and toward an initial target ROC (See "SECTION 5.00", BASIC FYING GUIDES, recommended "INITIAL ROC" for each B727 version).

Following any MGW T/O .... and prior to flap retraction .... the simulations initial ROC should be restricted to the recommended ROC.

The AP should be engaged as soon possible "after" the simulation has been stabilized at its initial after T/O ROC .... and AP heading mode also engaged .... set the AP Mode Rotary Switch to "MANUAL" ..... set the FD Mode Selector switch to "HDG" .... check, and adjust if necessary, the HSI gauge HDG cursor, then engage the AP "HDG HLD" swich.

Flaps/Slats should be retracted in increments and in accordance with the following schedule ....

B727-100/200 JT8D-7/-9/-15/-17
- FLAP 15 RETRACT SPEED = 180 KIAS
- FLAP 5 RETRACT SPEED = 205 KIAS
- FLAP 2 RETRACT SPEED = 220 KIAS

B727-200 SUPER 27 (only)
- FLAP 15 RETRACT SPEED = 200 KIAS
- FLAP 5 RETRACT SPEED = 215 KIAS
- FLAP 2 RETRACT SPEED = 230 KIAS

The simulation should be "clean" by 250 KTS.

Post T/O and cleanup .... set climb thrust .... an adjust ROC for best airspeed/climb performance (See "SECTION 5.00", BASIC FYING GUIDES, recommended "ALTITUDE/ROC/POWER ADJUSTMENT SCHEDULE" for each B727 version).

Select Landing and Runway Turnoff lighting "OFF" once the simulation is stable and established in the climb.

The AP navigation mode should be engaged upon intercepting the desired navigation aid/airway .... check, and adjust if necessary, the VOR 1/2 and ADF1/2 radio frequencies .... check, and adjust if necessary, the HSI gauge VOR/LOC course indicator .... set the FD Mode Selector switch to "VOR/LOC" .... then set the AP Mode Rotary Switch to "VOR/LOC". AP "HDG" mode will automatically disengage when AP "VOR/LOC" is engaged.

Prior to intercepting/acquiring any targeted VOR/LOC beam the AP Mode Anunciator will display amber lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" VOR/LOC related indications .... confirming the simulation is seeking the targeted beam. Upon acquiring the targeted VOR/LOC beam the AP Mode Anunciator will then display green lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" VOR/LOC related indications .... confirming the simulation has acquired the targeted beam.

From this point the simulation can be flown all the way up to cruising altitude with reliance upon the AP system

All engine parameters, primary flight instrumentation, and navigation data must be constantly monitored .... and the simulations performance throughout the climb, and progress along any airway, similarly monitored and adjusted if necessary.


4.02: CLIMB TO CRUISING ALTITUDE.

Following any MGW T/O .... climb to 31000 FT should be considered a good intermediate cruising altitude (33,000 FT for JT8D-7 and JT8D-9 B7276-100 version simulations .... and 28,000 FT for JT8D-7 and JT8D-9 powered B727-100/200 simulations only)

Following any much lower weight T/O .... or after subsantial fuel burn off .... climb to higher cruising altitudes may be practical.

The "CLIMB/CRUISE/DESCENT TABLE" represented within HJG supplied B727 panels informs, and constantly updates, in regard to the best/optimum cruising flight level basd on echa simulations current weight (See "SECTION 2.00", ADDITIONAL PANEL INFORMATION/"PANEL SUB PANEL DISPLAY ICONS").

Following any MGW T/O .... from 10000 to 12000 FT (depending on B727 version) it is necessary to progressively adjust the simulations ROC and power setting. This procedure is intended to ensure the best/constant airspeed and climb performance throughout the climb toward cruising altitude. (See "SECTION 5.00", BASIC FYING GUIDES, recommended "ALTITUDE/ROC/POWER ADJUSTMENT SCHEDULE" for each B727 version).

The simulations ROC should be adjusted using the manual AP Pitch & Roll knob Trim function.

Climbing through 17500 FT the altimeter barometric pressure indication, displayed within the altimeter gauge, must be adjusted to read "2992/1013". Failure perform this procedure will result in an incorrect altitude indications later during the simulations climb towards cruising altitude.

IAS deterioration above 20000 FT is normal.

MACH airspeed indications should be prioritized above 20000 FT.

All engine parameters, primary flight instrumentation, and navigation data must be constantly monitored .... and the simulations performance throughout the climb toward cruising altitude, and progress along any airway, similarly monitored and adjusted if necessary.


4.03: ACQUIRING CRUISING ALTITUDE AND LEVEL ACCELERATION.

As the simulation approaches, to within 900 FT, of any pre-selected target altitude value the Altitude Alert tone will be auto-triggered .... and its "ALTITUDE ALERT" lamp will illuminate.

Should the simulation pass any pre-selected target altitude value, by 100 FT, the Altitude Alert tone will be also auto-triggered .... unless the a new altitude value is entered into the Altitude Alerter gauge.

Using the AP Pitch & Roll knob trim function the simulations ROC should be progressively reduced throughout the last 1,000 FT of climb toward any pre-selected target cruising altitude .... to 1,000 FPM ROC within 1,000 FT of any target altitude; to 500 FPM ROC within 500 FT of any target altitude; and to 200 FPM ROC within 200 FT of any target altitude. This procedure is intended to ensure the smoothest possible AP controlled auto-altitude capture.

HJG B727 panels are not equipped with an AP controlled auto-altitude capture function.

All altitude captures must be performed manually.

As the simulation acquires the preselected target cruising altitude the AP "ALT HLD" switch must be engaged.

During this capture the AP will slowly pitch simulations nose "up" and "down" slightly prior to acquiring the pre-selected target altitude value.

Upon acquiring the pre-selected target altitude the simulation should have established an IAS aisrpeed of approximately 295 to 298 KIAS or velocity of MACH 0.77 to MACH 0.78 .... and which will slowly increase toward approximately 302 to 304 KIAS (308 KIAS B727-200 RE SUPER versions) or a velocity of MACH 0.79 to MACH 0.80 (MACH 81 B727-200 RE SUPER versions) during level cruise.

Once established in the high-speed cruise regime the simulation should demonstrate an approximately 2* (degrees) AI pitch attitude within the MACH 0.78 to MACH 0.80 velocity range .... subject to weight.

During high altitude/high speed cruise .... and over both distance and time/flight duration .... the simulations airspeed performance will be observed to increase slowly as it becomes progressively lighter subject to fuel (weight) burn-off .... requiring manual engine power adjustment in order to maintain a specific IAS airspeed/MACH velocity.

The AT system can be engaged once established at level cruising altitude and will ensure relatively constant airspeed performance (AT equipped HJG B727-200 SERIES panels only)

From this point the simulation can be flown "automatically" all the way toward its TOD point and with reliance upon both AP, AT, and navigation systems.

All engine parameters, primary flight instrumentation, and navigation data must be constantly monitored .... and the simulations performance throughout the cruise, and progress along any airway, similarly monitored and adjusted if necessary.


4.05: DESCENT.

Descent .... from 31000 FT should be commenced from approximately 100 DME prior any destination airport or its nearest navigational aid.

From 110 DME prior any destination airport the simulations airspeed should be reduced .... below 300 KTS .... "prior" to commencing any descent from 100 DME (See "SECTION 5.00", BASIC FYING GUIDES, recommended "RECOMMENDED DESCENT & APPROACH TO LANDING PROCEDURES" for each B727 version).

A new target altitude value must be entered into the AP Altitude Selector .... and a ROD not exceeding of 2000 FPM established.

Airspeed, ROD, and distance to run toward any destination airport must be constantly monitored throughout the descent .... with the ROD and airspeed being adjusted, if necessary, in order to arrive at 10,000 FT by approximately 30 DME prior to any destination airport or its nearest navigational aid.

IAS airspeed should be prioritized over MACH airspeed indications below 20000 FT.

Descending through 17500 FT the altimeter barometric pressure indication displayed within the altimeter gauge must be adjusted to read "2991/1012" (or local equivalent). Failure perform this particular procedure will result in an incorrect altitude indications by the time the simulation nears its intended target approach to landing altitude.

Below 10000 FT the simulations AT controlled airspeed should be reduced to less than 250 KTS.

All engine parameters, primary flight instrumentation, and navigation data must be constantly monitored .... and the simulations performance throughout the descent, and progress along any airway, similarly monitored and adjusted if necessary.


4.06: APPROCH TO LANDING - USING THE AP "AUTO-APPROACH" MODE.

The approach to landing should not be commenced with in excess of 20% total fuel (per tank) remaining .... "at the very most". Flying any approach to landing overweight "WILL" result in difficulties. Fuel loadings should be planned/calculated for each flight "prior to departure" in order to ensure the simulation is not overweight upon arrival at the destination airport.

5000 FT (AGL) and 250 KTS may be considered a reasonable altitude and target airspeed at which to enter the pattern "prior" to commencing the approach to landing procedure at any destination (SL) airport (procedures and MSA's do vary from airport to airport). During level flight, and with continued airspeed reduction, the simulations AI pitch attitude will be observed to increase slightly .... to approximately 3* (degrees).

Prior to commencing any approach to landing the ASI speed bugs must be set in accordance with the auto-computed V-REF landing data and the final approach to landing flap setting .... in conjunction with the simulations weight.

The required RWY ILS frequency must be entered into the NAV 1 radio.

Entering the downwind legue of any approach to landing pattern the simulations airspeed should be reduced toward 230 KTS.

Flaps/Slats should be extended in increments and in conjunction with airspeed reduction.

Flying the downwind legue of any approach to landing pattern Select flaps/slats at 230 KIAS .... and reduce the AT controlled airspeed toward 215 KTS.

The simulations AI pitch attitude will decrease in response to flap/slat deployment .... to approximately 2* (degrees).

To aid successfully flying any AP controlled ILS/GS coupled auto-approach to landing (in FS) a long final approach legue (approximately 18 DME) is preferable to that of a much shorter approach. This promotes more time for the simulation to become properly aligned with, and stablised on, the ILS/GS beam for any destination airport RWY.

PLEASE NOTE: HJG supplied B727 simulations are capable of executing a successful 90* (degree) intercept/turn to final on any ILS/GS equipped RWY (provided a long approach to landing is being flown and the simulation is not overweight for landing) .... a 25* (degree) intercept may be considered more appropriate.

Entering the base legue, at the commencement of any approach to landing, select FLAP 5 .... and reduce the AT controlled airspeed toward 200 KTS .

Once stable on the base league heading the AP Mode Selector rotary switch must be set to its "AUtO GS" detente .... and the FD rotary switch set to its "AUTO APP" detente. This will enable an AP controlled auto-intercept of the iLS/GS beam an turn to final approach heading during any such coupled approach to landing. Engaging the AP "AUTO APP" mode will automatically overide the AP "HDG" mode.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to implement either of these vital procedures may result in a failed or otherwise uncontrolled AP ILS/GS coupled auto-approach to landing.

Prior to intercepting/acquiring any targeted ILS/GS beam the AP Mode Anunciator will display amber lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" ILS/GS related indications .... confirming the simulation is seeking the targeted beam. Upon acquiring the targeted ILD/GS beam the AP Mode Anunciator will then display green lamp illuminations for both its "FD" and "AP" ILS/GS related indications .... confirming the simulation has acquired the targeted beam.



Upon commencement of the AP controlled auto-turn to final approach heading (approximately 17 DME to destination airport RWY) .... airspeed should be reduced toward 180 KTS .... and FLAP 15 selected "prior" to becoming stablished on the ILS/GS.

Adjust the HSI "HDG" cursor to reflect the approach to landing RWY centerline heading.

The AT system may be used throughout any auto-approach to landing .... or alternatively .... engine power/airspeed may be manually controlled.

Airspeed "MUST" be constantly monitored throughout the final approach to landing .... and adjusted if necessary.

Flying these B727 simulations on any approach to landing requires a delicate balance of applying as much power as possible in conjunction with flap and gear deployments .... without over accelerating the simulation .... in order to avoid either an irrecoverable deep-stall situation or other unsatisfactory nose-pitch attitude characteristics.

Excessive airspeed during any AP controlled ILS/GS coupled auto-approach to landing will force the simulations nose pitch attitude to decrease .... possibly to the extent of encouraging an unsatisfactorily nose down pitch attitude during the approach to landing if not corrected .... risking a nose gear collapse and crash upon ground contact.

Insufficient airspeed during any AP controlled ILS/GS coupled auto-approach to landing will force the simulations nose pitch attitude to increase .... possibly to the extent of encouraging an unsatisfactorily high nose pitch attitude .... risking either an irrecoverable stall and crash prior to landing or a tail strike upon ground/RWY contact.

Select a "Decision Height" altitude on the RA.

As the simulation engages the ILS/GS beam .... select FLAP 20 and reduce the airspeed toward 165 KTS.

Once the simulation has successfully engaged and is stable on the ILS/GS .... select Gear Down and FLAP 25.

Throughout any approach to landing the GPWS system will provide automatic altitude callouts when passing through the following critical altitudes ....

- "TWENTY-FIVE-HUNDRED"
- "500"
- "100"
- "50"
- "40"
- "30"
- "20"
- "10"

A "MINIMUS" GPWS callout will be auto-triggered in response to the pre-selected RA "Decision Height" altitude.

Select the landing lights "ON".

"ARM" the Spoilers .... prior to landing.

Continue airspeed reduction toward 155 KTS .... and select FLAP 30.

Check the landing lights are "ON".

Check spoiler lever is set to "ARM

Continue airspeed reduction toward 145 KTS .... and select FLAP 30.

The maximum flap detente in each of the HJG supplied B727 panels is "FLAP 35" (maximum "FLAP 25" detente only in the case of each B727-200 ADV LEAPS/QW2 panel versions) .... although for reasons of noise abatement a "FLAP 30" detente is quite sufficient for any normal approach to landing. A "FLAP 35" setting is typically used only in emergency or other abnormal procedures situations.

The AP system should be disengaged at the "100 FT" GPWS call-out .... and the last phase of any final approach to landing flown manually.

At "50 FT", prior to landing ,the AT system will auto-disengage .... at which point engine thrust must be manually controlled.

PLEASE NOTE: HJG supplied B727 simulations are not certified for "HANDS-OFF/FULLY AUTOMATIC" landings .... these are B727´s and not L1011´s !!!!

Engine power should be slowly retarded toward idle at approximately 20 FT above the RWY threshold .... a slow flare commenced .... and the ROD decent reduced to less than 100 FPM to ensure a relatively smooth touchdown and to avoid bouncing the simulation.

The Spoilers will auto-deploy (if armed) immediately upon ground/RWY contact.

Reverse thrust should applied (keyboard command "F2") only once all 3 landing gear have settled on the RWY, spoilers have been extended, and the simulations engines almost fully idled.

Reverse thrust should be cancelled (keyboard command F2 .... or a prolonged depress of the F3 keyboard command to gently ease engine power back to idle) at between "80" and "70" KTS .... and manual braking then applied to assist continued deceleration toward a normal taxiing speed.

Vacate the RWY per the nearest exit and select the landing lights "OFF".

Select Exterior Lighting/Runway Turnoff lighting switches "ON"

Retract spoilers and flaps .... and taxi to gate.

B727 PANELS INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES # 5


UPDATED: July 14th 2017.





B727 BASIC FLYING GUIDES.

This is not real world B727 performance data. The following information is based on FS observations only .... operating from the default MSFS 2004 KSEA airport at MGW, cruise at FL310 and using HJG supplied B727 panels and FDE. Operating from other MSFS airports and below or in excess of MGW, cruise at altitudes less than or in excess of FL310, and using non-HJG supplied B727 panels and FDE .... will result in different observations and performances.PLEASE NOTE: Flying the following recommended profiles requires concentration, skill, and reliance upon the AP. Power must be set manually .... and be constantly checked .... and adjusted if necessary. Not all B727 aircraft versions are/were equipped with an AT system.

PLEASE NOTE ALSO: By default all HJG supplied simulations load into FS with both 100% fuel and payload .... resulting in a nominal "overload". This is quite normal. The end user is expected to manually adjust either fuel or payload (or both) in order to ensure each simulation is set at/near its certified MGW or otherwise in accordance with the requirements for ones anticipated virtual flight.

"RECOMMENDED DESCENT & APPROACH TO LANDING PROCEDURES".

The following descent procedures assume maximum payload with no more than approximately 20% total fuel remaining prior to the commencement of descent.

These procedures are intended to ensure descent to FL100 by approximately 30 DME from any destination airport or its nearst NAV aid .... and to promote further descent and entry to any airport approach circuit/pattern, flying downwind, base, and final approach legues prior to landing legues.


1. "B727-100, B727-100C/F/QC, B727-100QC IGW (only) DESCENT PROCEDURE"
