Searching for a autopilot tutorial in FS2004

I would like to depart and land with the autopilot feature in FS 2004

How can I do that?

Thanks,
Checkkie!

Take offs and landings are exactly the two things you cannot do with the
autopilot in fs2kx.
For the rest I would advise you to read the autopilot info in the infocenter

If after that you have specific questions I (and others in this NG) will be
happy to help you

Be fair Chekkie,
The two things left for a pilot these day are landing and taking off. If we
couldn't do these by hand where wd be the fun in flying at all!

Well said.
Simulator pilots who have never flown real airplanes can learn a lot
throught reading

"You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature,
the playful spiritual being that is your real self.
Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain
you don't have anything to learn from them.
You're always free to change your mind
and choose a different future, or a different past.
- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" -- Richard Bach

(including five more books in this series).

About Biplane:
"In a sublime journey toward understanding time and space, Richard Bach
takes flight through American skies in a 1929 biplane. Soaring from New
Jersey to California, he learns to navigate by following railroads and
highways, masters the dangers of thunderstorms, and tastes the exhilaration

Anyone reading only one book by Bach will be a better person (and simulator
pilot) for it.

In short, you can't "depart and land with the autopilot," you need to
actually learn how to fly it manually first.

Application Note

Subject: Procedure - 707 Instrument Takeoff w/On-the-Go Turn

by: Gregory Abbey


Aircraft: Boeing 707 Demonstrator

This procedure was developed after numerous takeoff trial runs.
Assumptions are.. the aircraft is departing Runway 23 with a desired
On-the-Go left turn to heading 190 (40-deg turn). Target altitude and
climb rate are 7,000 ft. and 2,200 fpm.


1) Taxi short and hold Runway 23.

2) Set A/T and A/P controls to Arm OFF - Mode OFF.

3) Set 7,000 ft. via altitude bug.. set climb rate to 2,200 fpm.

4) Set flaps for departure (2-clicks).. set heading bug for 190 deg.

5) Set elevator trim to -0.6.. set speed control bug for 255 kts.

6) Cycle A/P switches ALT hold, HDG mode On-Off *.. observe
steady elevator trim and previous settings have not changed.

7) Taxi into position and hold.. get clearance for departure.

8) Set A/T and A/P to ARM *.. observe steady elevator trim.

9) Throttles to 90% *.. at 100-110 kts.. click TO/GA switch.

Caution: DO NOT ROLL without re-checking elevator trim !!

10) Aircraft auto-rotates at 145 kts.. retract gear when climb est.

11) Immediately click `A/P HDG' to begin turn.. flaps up at
200 kts.. aircraft climb rate 3,500 - 4,000 fpm.

12) Watch speed thru 240-245 kts.. click IAS to hold at 255 kts.

13) Click `ALT hold' for climb rate of 2,200 fpm.

14) Normal climb from 4,000 - 7,000 ft.. level off at 7,000 ft.



* Notes: during throttle-up.. watch elevator trim
indicator.. if it starts to range down.. cut throttles,
stop, and cycle AP controls as in step six.

* On-the-Go turn assumes heading away from
airport and/or terminal.

* Procedure above does not necessarily represent
de facto, or `the best' FS, or real takeoff process.

* Comments, suggestions, changes welcome.
