Please select from the appropriate category below:

Home > Voice Control > General Requirements

General RequirementsTo use a 'Voice Control' version of FS2Crew, you need to meet the following requirements:

Minimums:

Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX or FS9 depending on the version of FS2Crew).

A microphone.

A legal copy of the associated host aircraft. Unless your FS2Crew is for a 'default' aircraft that ships with FSX or FS9 out-of-the-box, FS2Crew doesnot include the 3rd party host aircraft. FS2Crew is a 'stand-alone' program that functions with your existing aircraft.

Host Aircraft Requirements:

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK:

Required Aircraft: PMDG 737 NGX.

Available from PMDG at: www.precisionmanuals.com.

Software Version: Service Pack 1C or later.

Speech Recognition Requirements:

XP users must install SAPI if it's not already installed.

Windows Vista or Windows 7 users, particularly those from outside the United States, must be able to set their Speech Recognition language setting toENGLISH - US. Please consult the Speech Recognition Setup page for more information.

USB headset.

Windows 7 - 64.

Notes:

1. A generic, no-name brand USB headset is usually sufficient. An expensive, noise-cancelling headset is a plus, but it's hardly necessary. FS2Crew highlyrecommends USB headsets because they are much easier to configure and setup compared to the old style 'plug-in-a-jack' type headsets.

2. Windows 7 64 handles memory much better than XP. If you're still using XP or Vista, FS2Crew recommends upgrading to Windows 7 64. In addition, ifyou have a non-English version of Windows, FS2Crew recommends that you purchase either an 'English' or ''Ultimate' version of Windows so that youcan easily meet the requirements for Speech Recognition.

3. If you cannot meet the requirements for Speech Recognition, FS2Crew recommends using a Button Control version of the software instead.

4. The host aircraft should have all the latest updates installed and be correctly configured before installing FS2Crew. Make sure the host aircraft isworking well with no problems before installing FS2Crew!

Home > Voice Control > Quick Start Guide

Quick Start GuideThe following guides offer a very brief overview of how to to start using the software.

Please select your product from the list below:

Home > Voice Control > Quick Start Guide > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE


1. Ensure you have SP1c installed. SP1c is ONLY available in the PMDG Support Forum at Avsim. If in doubt, re-install it. SP1b is NOT sufficient. If SP1cor later is not installed, FS2Crew will not function properly!

2. Setup Speech Recognition. Don't forget to train your Voice!

3. Go to Windows Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Communications. Select "Do Nothing" when Windows detectscommunication activity and click apply.

4. Open the FS2Crew PMDG 737 Configuration Manager and press the "Enable FS2Crew Voice Control" button. (Important: Ensure UAC isdisabled and run the Config Manager as an Admin).

5. Setup Soft Mute and Hard Mute.

6. Learn how to open the FS2Crew Main panel.

7. Ensure your NGX loads by default into the 2D Cockpit, and not the VC.

8. Ensure the default aircraft loaded by FSX is NOT the NGX or any other 3rd party aircraft, but rather the Trike. (This is also a PMDG recommendedprocedure).

9. Read how the in-simulation FS2Crew Main and Configuration panels operate.

10. Print out the Flows manual.

11. Print out the Voice Commands and Voice Checklist Manual. This is the heart of the simulation. You MUST print this section otherwise you will be lost!

12. Ensure the PMDG 737 NGX's built in FO callouts are disabled.

13. If you have any problems, check the Troubleshooting section.

Speech Recognition SetupYour Speech Recognition setup varies depending on your Operating System.

Please select your Operating System below:

Home > Voice Control > Speech Recognition Setup > Windows XP

Windows XPStep 1:

XP users may or may not have the required 'Speech Recognition API' (SAPI) installed on their computer.

TocheckifyoualreadyhaveSAPIvoicerecognitionsoftwareonyourcomputer,opentheWindowsControlPanelandclicktheSpeechiconifitsthere.IfyoucanseeaSpeechRecognitiontab,thenSAPIisalreadyinstalledonyourcomputer.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/4/3/B4314928-7B71-4336-9DE7-6FA4CF00B7B3/SpeechSDK51.exe

The file is called: SpeechSDK51.exe

Step 2:

How to install SAPI:

1. Create a temporary folder on your desktop. You can give it any name.

2. Double click the 'SpeechSDK51.exe' file you just downloaded.

3. You will be asked to extract the contents of the exe to a folder.

4. Click the 'Browse' button and select your temporary folder, then press 'Unzip'.

5. Open your temporary folder, and double-click "Setup.exe".

6. When done, you can delete the temporary folder.

Step 3:

Your Speech Properties panel in XP should look like the following screen shot:

Step 4:

Press 'Train Profile' to run the voice training.

Note:

If experience difficulties with Speech Recognition, please consult the Troubleshooting section.

Home > Voice Control > Speech Recognition Setup > Windows Vista and Windows 7

Windows Vista and Windows 7Step 1:

Open the 'Windows Speech Recognition' panel via the Windows Control Panel. You can locate this panel easily by typing "speech recognition" in the Search Boxon the Windows Control page page as shown below.

Voice Control . 4

[www.fs2crew.com]

Step 2:

Microsoft's 'Windows Speech Recognition' system must be OFF prior to loading Flight Simulator.

To ensure Windows Speech Recognition does not load on Windows Startup, make sure 'Run Speech Recognition at Startup' is unchecked on the SpeechProperties -> Speech Recognition page, which is located in the Windows Control Panel.

Make Sure 'Run Speech Recognition at startup' is UNCHECKED!

Step 3:

The 'Language' setting on the Speech Properties -> Speech Recognition page must be set to ENGLISH - US.

5 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

This is a CRITICAL step that is often overlooked by users from English speaking countries other than the United States, especially those from the UK andAustralia.

If you are running a non-English 'Home' version of Windows 7 or Vista, and you cannot set your speech language setting to English - US, you have four options:

1. Upgrade to Windows 'Ultimate' or 'Enterprise'. 'Ultimate' or 'Enterprise' owners are able to download and install the English language pack fromMicrosoft, but 'Home' version owners cannot.

2. Downgrade to Windows XP.

3. Install Vistalizator. Vistalizator will switch your OS to English. Many FS2Crew users from non-English speaking countries have used Vistalizatorsuccessfully so they can enjoy the benefits of Voice Control. (Note: To use Vistalizator, you do not need to uninstall Windows 7 SP1... all you need todo is run Vistalizator in compatibility mode.)

4. Use a 'Button Control ' version of FS2Crew instead of Voice Control.

Step 4:

Run the Voice Training so the computer can learn your voice.

This is a CRITICAL step. If you don't run the voice training, your speech recognition accuracy rates will not be high.

You may even want to run the voice training more than once.

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup

Mute Key Setup'Mute' is used to prevent the virtual First Officer/ PNF from acting on any inputs received by the Speech Recognition system.

'Mute' is useful when communicating with on-line ATC, or if you do not anticipate communicating the the virtual First Officer for extended periods of time.

There are two kinds of Mute: Soft Mute and Hard Mute.

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICEPlease select from the list below:

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Soft Mute

Soft Mute

Used when you only want to employ Mute temporarily, such as when communicating with on-line ATC.

Works on a "Push-to-Hold" basis.

If using on-line ATC, you would assign 'Soft Mute' to the same key used for your ATC 'Push-to-Talk (PTT) switch'.

An "M" symbol will appear in the left hand side of the FS2Crew Main Panel display area when operating.

By default, the LEFT or RIGHT CONTROL key acts as the SOFT MUTE KEY.

To create a Soft Mute key assignment in addition to the default LEFT and RIGHT CONTROL KEY, create a joystick or keyboard button assignment for'PROPELLER SYNC (ON/OFF)' in the FSX 'SETTINGS - CONTROLS' menu.

Important Reminder: Even with mute enabled, the Speech Recognition will still detect any inputs received via your microphone; in fact, you will still seeactivity in the Green Bar that displays what the Speech Recognition system is 'detecting'. The difference, however, is that the virtual FO will not act on anywords or phrases the speech the Speech Recognition system detects.

For example, if you cough, and the Speech Recognition system somehow interprets that as "Gear Down", you will still see "Gear Down" in the Green Bar, but theFO will not put the gear down.

Home > Voice Control > Mute Key Setup > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE > Hard Mute

Hard Mute

Used when you want to employ Mute for extended periods of time.

Works on a Toggle On/Off basis.

An "M+" symbol will appear in the left hand side of the FS2Crew Main Panel display when operating.

Can be toggled On/Off by pressing the "HM" button on the FS2Crew Main Panel.

Can also be toggled On/Off by creating a keyboard or joystick assignment for ALTERNATE STATIC (ON/OFF) in the FSX 'SETTINGS - CONTROLS'menu.

Important Reminder: Even with mute enabled, the Speech Recognition will still detect any inputs received via your microphone; in fact, you will still seeactivity in the Green Bar that displays what the Speech Recognition system is 'detecting'.

PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICEThe NGX needs to load by default into the 2D cockpit, never the VC or Spot View.

This is to ensure the aircraft initializes properly.

After the 2D cockpit loads, you can switch to the VC view if desired.

To ensure that no duplicate V1, VR and V2 calls are heard, please set the "F/O CALLOUT"' options below to 'NO" via the "SIMULATION" menu in the PMDG 737NGX's FMC.

Home > Voice Control > Troubleshooting

TroubleshootingFS2Crew has years of experience developing flight simulation products. The following solutions can be used to solve problems you may experience.

Problem: I'm getting a Crash to Desktop (CTD) when I load the host Aircraft, and the the error message refers to 'FS2AUDIO.DLL'.

Solutions:

1. If you have two sound cards running in parallel, disable one of them.

2. If you are running any program in the background that that attempt to strip Digital Music Rights (DRM) from music, such as Tune Bite, SoundTaxi or Sound Bite, please disable them. They interfere with FS2Crew's Audio Engine. Some of these types of programs are legal in parts of Europe,but they are not legal in the United Sates.

3. Re-install FS2Crew again, but do not click 'cancel' during the install. Wait for the install to finish.

4. If using a Creative Labs X-Fi Extreme Audio Sound Card, uninstall the latest driver and re-install the original driver off the CD that came withyour Sound Card. The latest driver conflicts with the FS2Crew Audio engine.

5. Sometimes users have corrupt versions of the FSX.CFG file. Delete the FSX.CFG file. It will re-build automatically when you load FSX. Your FSX.CFGfile is located here:

Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

Windows Vista/ 7: \Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Problem: The 'VOICE' button on the FS2Crew Main Panel will not stay on.

Solution:

Voice Control . 12

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. If using Vista or Windows 7, ensure your Speech Recognition Language Setting is set to English - US. This is something users from the UK or Australiaoften miss. If using XP, ensure you installed SAPI.

2. Check for error messages in the 'Speech Recognition Init Log', which will be available via the FS2Crew Configuration Manager.

In 99 percent of all cases the problem is because you forget to set your Speech Recognition Language Setting to English - US if using Vista orWindows 7, but sometimes the problem is associated with having a corrupt system that prevents the Speech Recognition engine from loadingproperly, particularly if the Speech Recognition Init log shows this error:

Creating the ISpRecoContext object... Error Code: 0x80045003

We're finding that some 3rd party programs that perform Systems Repair/Mechanic type functions may be damaging the user's Registry, which in turnsdamages the speech recognition system that comes with Windows.

In these cases you'll find that all 3rd party programs on your computer that use Microsoft's Speech Recognition API will be non-functional, not justFS2Crew.

Vista / Windows 7 users have resolved this problem by re-installing Windows. We also suggest trying a Systems Restore.

XP users can try uninstalling SAPI and then re-installing it.

If you get this error:

Creating the ISpAudio object... Error Code: 0x8004503a

Check your USB headset. It may be faulty. Exit Flight Simulator, and try loading FS2Crew again but with your USB headset unplugged.

Problem: When using the FS Video Marshaller, my computer crashes.

Solution:

1. You must be in 'Windowed'', not 'Full-Screen' mode when using the Video Marshaller. You can switch between video screen modes by pressing ALTENTER on your keyboard. Only attempt to open the FS Video Marshaller panel via the FS2Crew Main Panel if you are in Windowed Mode.

Problem: During flight, I get random crashes.

Solution:

1. Random crashes can be attributable to numerous different sources and can be very complex to troubleshoot. They are often connected to bad videoand audio drivers. Also, certain 3rd party scenery or AI traffic in Flight Simulator can be faulty and eat up huge amounts of memory. If you get arandom crash, you should try flying in an area that does not use 3rd party scenery or AI traffic. Certain 3rd party scenery add-ons are infamous forcausing problems. FS2Crew adds very little overhead to the simulation in terms of memory usage. FS2Crew is not a heavy graphic program, andheavy graphics are what eat up the largest amounts of memory. If you're experiencing random crashes, you may want to adjust your FSX displaysliders to the left as you may be hitting FSX's 4 GB internal memory limit. You may simply be pushing your system too hard. You may also want toconsider deleting your FSX.CFG file as it may be corrupt. FSX will rebuild a new FSX.cfg file when it loads.

2. Upgrading to Windows 7 - 64 bits (or later) is highly recommended. Windows 7 handles memory more efficiently than XP or Vista.

Recommended Sites to help Troubleshoot Random Crashes:

Avsim CTD Forum

Problem: I'm experiencing a frame rate drop.

Solution:

1. Ensure your speech recognition language is set up properly. If it's not, your system will grind to a halt.

2. Double check your Sound Card settings. One beta tester cranked his sound card's settings up to 24 bit (192,000) and had some frame rate loss. Whenhe returned his sound card settings to their default settings - 16 bit (44,000) - his frame rates returned to normal.

Problem: I cannot hear the FO's voice.

Solution:

1. Check your audio setup. If using a headset, ensure you've selected the associated Audio Device on the FS2Crew Configuration Panel. As a test, makesure HS (Headset) is unchecked on the FS2Crew Main Panel. This way all sound should be routes through your main speakers. Sometimes users justhave complex audio hardware setups, and they just need to experiment with their audio hardware settings. Also consider getting a USB headset: USBheadsets can resolve a lot of problems due to their simplicity.

Problem: My voice recognition results are not very good.

Solution:

1. Check your audio setup.

2. Get a USB headset.

3. Be sure to run the Voice Training .

4. Speak in a neutral mid-western American style accent in a clear and distinct way.

5. Reduce ambient background noise as much as possible.

6. Upgrade to Windows 7 - 64 or later. The Windows 7 speech recognition engine is better than XP's.

Problem: Speech recognition is having problems detecting certain words. Can I train the speech recognition system for "specific" words?

Solution:

1. Yes, you can use the dictation facility in Windows.

2. First, start 'Windows Speech Recognition' (this is not the FS2Crew Speech Recognition system, but rather the speech recognition system that comeswith Windows).

3. Open a text document.

4. Next, dictate a list of words you are having trouble with.

5. Every time the speech recognizer makes a mistake, use the "CORRECT THAT" voice command. This effectively train the speech recognition engine torecognize how you pronounce these words. You may need to dictate and correct the same words multiple times until the recognition rate improves.

Problem: I spoke "LANDING CHECKLIST", and "Landing Checklist" was displayed in the Green Bar. So I know the Speech Recognition system detected thecorrect phrase, but nothing happened. The FO never replied.

Solution:

1. You were probably in the wrong FS2Crew Mode. The displayed mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must match the checklist you are attempting to use. For example, in order for the Landing Checklist to work, the mode in the FS2Crew Main Panel must say "LANDING".

Home > Voice Control > Troubleshooting > PMDG 737 NGX SPECIAL BUNDLE PACK- VOICE


Problem: The FO is acting strange. For example, the beacon was on, yet during the checklist he said "Are you sure"? during the beacon challenge.

Solution:

1. You need to ensure you have installed SP1C or later. SP1B is not sufficient. SP1C is currently available via the PMDG Support Forum only. Re-installit if in doubt.

2. Ensure that the TRIKE is the default aircraft loaded by FSX. NEVER HAVE THE NGX OR ANOTHER 3RD PARTY AS YOUR DEFAULT AIRCRAFT.

15 . Voice Control

3. You need to ensure that the NGX loads by default into the 2D cockpit, never the VC, via the FSX setting shown below here:

Problem: I cannot open the FS2Crew Main Panel via the clickspot in the Virtual Cockpit.

Solution:

1. If you have extra, non-FS2Crew, 3rd party panel windows installed on the NGX's panel.cfg file from other addons, you may be bumping into a panellimit. The solution is to use the available MAIN PANEL JOYSTICK/KEYBOARD ASSIGNMENT to open the Main Panel.

Problem: The text in the FS2Crew Panel windows seems much too large.

Solution:

Voice Control . 16

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. Reset your Windows Font size to the default setting: 100 percent.

Problem: When I switch the VC panel, the FS2Crew volume drops.

Solution:

1. This is an an FSX issue. You can reset the FS2Crew volume by re-opening the FS2Crew Main Panel while in the VC.

Problem: When calling for the 'DESCENT CHECKLIST', the FO says "I AM READY FOR THE BRIEF".

Solution:

1. You need to run the Approach Briefing on the BRIEF PAGE before calling for the Descent Checklist. If you do not want to run the brief, speak "AREYOU READY FOR THE APPROACH BRIEF?" Close the brief by asking "ANY QUESTIONS?"

Problem:Aspertheinstructions,IassignedakeycommandforSoftMute,HardMuteandtogglingtheMainPanelintheFSXSETTINGSCONTROLmenu, but they do not work. I press the assigned keyboard button and nothing happens.

Solution:

1. YouhaveamatchingkeyboardassignmentinthePMDGFMCs'KEY COMMANDS' section that is conflicting. Create different keyboard assignments. Or delete the PMDG keyboard assignment. FS2Crew and the PMDG NGX cannot share the same keyboard assignments. For example, if 'X' is used as akeyboard assignment in the PMDG KEY COMMANDS menu, you cannot use 'X' as a FS2Crew key assignment.

Problem: I clicked the Standby Attitude Indicator gauge area to open the FS2Crew Main Panel , but the Main Panel did not open.

Solution:

1. Run the FS2Crew PMDG 737 NGX Configuration Manager and ensure you pressed 'Enable' FS2Crew. That will result in the FS2Crew Windows andGauges being dynamically added to your PMDG 737 NGX Panel.CFG file.

17 . Voice Control

[www.fs2crew.com]

2. MAKE SURE USER ACCOUNT CONTROL (UAC) IS DISABLED AND THAT YOU'RE RUNNING THE FS2CREW CONFIG MANAGER AS AN ADMIN.

Problem: I commanded the FO to engage VNAV, LNAV, etc., and the FO did not engage VNAV, LNAV, etc.

Solution:

1. The autopilot and/or FMC is probably not setup properly to accept a VNAV engagement command. When you ask the FO to engage, for example,VNAV, FS2Crew will send a 'signal' to the NGX via the PMDG SDK to engage VNAV. However, if the aircraft is not configured properly to engage VNAV,VNAV will not engage. In these situations, try clicking the VNAV button on the MCP with your mouse. If VNAV does not engage, make sure theautopilot is setup properly. Remember that for the 737's autopilot to engage, the controls must be centered first.

Problem: While using multi-player, I'm getting kicked for 'event flooding'. I'm also getting stuttering while using the Aivlasoft EFB.

Solution:

1. There is a bug in the PMDG 737 NGX asociated with the FO's VSD display. The FO's VSD triggers 'event flooding' when it's turned on. The solution is todisable the FO's VSD via the PMDG options menu.

2. You can also stop FS2Crew from turning on the VSD by opening this file located in App Data with Notepad:

Users\----- YOUR USER NAME HERE ------\AppData\Roaming\FS2Crew2010\Versions\PMDG737NGX\SavedData\FS2CrewData.ini

Change: DisableVSD = 0 to DisableVSD =1

Problem: The FO's volume is jumpy.

Voice Control . 18

[www.fs2crew.com]

Solution:

1. Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Communications. Select "Do Nothing" when Windows detectscommunications activity and click apply.

Problem: A different FO's voice announces V1, VR and V2. So I have duplicate calls.

Solution:

1. Disable the V1, VR and V2 callouts that are available with the NGX via the 'Simulation' options menu in the PMDG NGX's FMC.

Problem: I can't communicate with the De-Icing Crew. I'm using the correct voice commands.

Solution:

1. Make sure Comm Radio 1 or 2 is set to 121.65.

Problem: I can't talk to the Engineers or Start Crew. I'm using the correct voice commands.

Solution:

1. Make sure the NGX is setup properly first as shown below so that you can communicate via the Service Interphone:

Special Tip:

You can also assign a Keyboard or Joystick button to open and close the Main Panel.

To create your "Toggle Main Panel" assignment, create a joystick or keyboard button assignment for 'AUTOFEATHER (ARM/OFF)' in the FSX'SETTINGS - CONTROLS' menu

You can select any Joystick or Keyboard assignment (or both).

IMPORTANT: Your PMDG 737 NGX cannot use the same key assignment for any PMDG 737 NGX Key Command function, orthe Main Button will not work!

So, for example, if you use "C" as your keyboard assignment for the Main Button, you cannot use "C" for any PMDG 737NGX KEY ASSIGNMENTS.

Home > Voice Control > Flows

FlowsMulti-crew flying is like a highly choreographed role-play, and the pilots are the actors.

'Flows' refer to the specific sequence of actions each crew member performs during certain stages of the flight. It's like an actor's script.

For example, when entering the runway, the crew would perform their 'Before Takeoff Flows': the First Officer would perform a series of actions in a presetorder, as would the Captain.

In the simulation, each flow has a defined 'trigger point'. In order for the virtual First Officer to start his 'flow' in the simulation, the trigger point must be hit.

Please note that, unless otherwise specified, in FS2Crew:

The end-user in FS2Crew is the Captain and the Pilot Flying.

The virtual First Officer is the Pilot Not Flying.

3. For RNAV (RNP) approaches, inhibit other navaids as needed per NOTAM.

4. Note that engine out fail operational approaches to autoland available with flaps 30 only (performance permitting).

5. Verify/set RNP as appropriate for the procedure.

6. Set the RADIO/BARO minimums as need for the approach.

7. Make your selections on the FS2Crew Approach Briefing Page. Don't forget to enter the Decision Height/Altitude.

8. Play the Approach Briefing (or make the voice command: "ARE YOU READY FOR THE APPROACH BRIEF?" Close the brief by speaking: "ANYQUESTIONS?")

9. Verify VREF on the FMC 'APPROACH REF' Page. (You will need to manually add any wind additive to VREF).

10. Set or verify the navigation radios and course for the approach.

11. Set QNH in the Standby Altimeter.

12. CallDESCENT CHECKLISTaftertheFOcompleteshisdescentflow.

Notes:

If shooting a CAT II or CATIII Monitored ILS approach, you must set the DH selector to RADIO and select a RadioAltimeter value (i.e., 100 feet, 50 feet, etc).

If shooting a non-Monitored Approach (ILS, VOR, NDB, RNAV), then you must set the DH selector to BARO, and selectthe Barometric Decision Altitude as found on your approach chart.

If shooting a normal CAT 1 ILS approach, the barometric Decision Altitude is usually 200 feet above the runwayelevation. So, for example, if the runway elevation is 110 feet, the Decision Altitude (BARO) is probably about 310feet.

TRANSITION LEVEL PROCEDURE

Voice Control . 44

[www.fs2crew.com]

1. The FO will announce "TRANSITION LEVEL" when passing the Transition Level you entered on the DESCENT FORECAST PAGE in the FMC.

2. Set local pressure on the Captain's altimeter (which shows in white below STD), and then press the STD button.

3. Then you need to announce the local altimeter setting:

Example:

"ALTIMETERS TWO NINER NINER EIGHT"

The FO will then read back his altimeter setting.

Note:

This is why it's important that the CAPT'S ALTIMETER and the FO's ALTIMETER be synchronized (the option is in the PMDG Optionsmenu in the FMC.)

Approach

1. Update the arrival and approach procedures as needed.

2. Update RNP as needed.

3. CallAPPROACH CHECKLISTat10,000feetortheTransitionLevel,whicheverislower.

Note:

For airplanes with NPS, the flight crew may enter 125 feet for vertical RNP. While there are no vertical RNP values published on theapproach chart, the use of 125 feet will cause the NPS amber deviation exceedance alert to occur at 75 feet or slightly less deviation,since vertical ANP will be at least 50 feet at all times.

Landing

1. CallFLAPS___asrequiredtobringtheflapsdownonschedule.2. When on localizer intercept heading, verify that the ILS is tuned and identified and that the LOC and G/S pointers are shown.
