 This route is 103.1 NM long and will take us about 25 minutes. The cruise altitude is going to be **15,000ft** and we're only going to cruise for a short time. This route is 103.1 NM long and will take us about 25 minutes.

-In the control settings of the Aerofly FS 2 there is a control assignment in the autopilot controls for "TakeOff GoAround Button (TOGA)". Press this button now. If you don't want to assign this you can also depress the "HDG" pushbutton. Note how the flight director on the PFD came alive and the active lateral mode "WINGS LVL" was selected. The vertical mode "GA" is also activated but the selected altitude is not armed yet. And our selected altitude may be off.+In the control settings of the Aerofly FS there is a control assignment in the autopilot controls for "TakeOff GoAround Button (TOGA)". Press this button now.

 Additional requirements for the category 2 ILS approach with this DUAL FD mode are two identical decision heights on left and right PFD, both below 200ft (CAT 2) and, of course, working radar altimeters. Additional requirements for the category 2 ILS approach with this DUAL FD mode are two identical decision heights on left and right PFD, both below 200ft (CAT 2) and, of course, working radar altimeters.
  
-This DUAL FD fail->active, fail->passive behavior is modeled in the Aerofly FS 2 Q400, if you re-tune one receiver for example or switch the nav source on one side away from ILS. In case the capability of the aircraft to fly the ILS 2 approach drops (e.g. one nav source is set to the wrong position) a CAT 2 FAIL message is displayed. Then your approach minimums change and you might need to go around.+This DUAL FD fail->active, fail->passive behavior is modeled in the Aerofly FS Q400, if you re-tune one receiver for example or switch the nav source on one side away from ILS.

 Try to take the second high speed exit off the runway to the right. (The one after a small concrete patch to the right of the runway, ending directly behind that parked British Airways aircraft). This should take only slight to moderate braking and we'll end up right in front of the terminal where we want to park. Try to take the second high speed exit off the runway to the right.

-With the little trick (tapping the reverser key once) we could turn off the second exit whilst testing without braking at all in our testing with the current version of the Aerofly FS 2.+With the little trick (tapping the reverser key once) we could turn off the second exit whilst testing without braking at all in our testing with the current version of the Aerofly FS.
