Zibo 737 FMC SET UP - X-plane 11 [How to fill up the FMC PAGEs starting with no experience]

FMC introduction: In this video, I will show you how to start using the Zibo 737 FMC.

By the end of this video, you will know how to insert a date into the Flight Management Computer, how to navigate through the pages and how to set up your ROUTE and PERFORMANCE page.

The Flight Management Computer is used to insert, calculate or check flight data related to the sector you are flying.

The FMC is normally located next to the Lower display unit.

Depending on the Aircraft you may have multiple or single FMCs.

The Flight Management Computer has a Display Unit, Line keys, Pages buttons, and the alpha/numeric keys.

If you want to select something from the Display Unit you have to click the Line Key next to it.

The Pages buttons will bring you directly to the related flight phase page.
So, if you want to go direct to the route page you can press RTE.

If, for example, the RTE page has multiple pages you can navigate through them by pressing the PREV PAGE or the NEXT PAGE buttons.

The Blank line at the bottom of the Display Unit is called Scratchpad, whatever you write using the Alpha/numeric keys will pop up in there.

In order to enter data into the Zibo 737 Flight Management Computer, you need to write it down in the Scratchpad first and then select the line key where you want to insert the data.

One of the most important buttons is the EXEC button, this is used to Activate any major change inserted into the FMC.

The Flight Management Computer can also display some information messages related to flight operations.

These messages normally pop up when there is an action to be taken or there are some parameters that do not correct.

In the video, I received an information message warning me that I don’t have enough fuel onboard to complete the flight I intended to do.

When I set the FMC I filled up the RTE page first and then the Performance page.

You need a Flight plan, the weather information, and the load sheet of your flight in order to fill the pages correctly.
