737 operation
During lockdown I'm spending time trying to fly the 737-800 via X-plane 11. I'm a retired helicopter pilot with experience of coupled flight in the Boeing Chinook.
I'm trying to fly as realistically as I can but am having trouble with Vnav and Lnav. Could someone tell me the detailed sequence for engagement of RNAV, Auto throttle and the autopilot following 'positive climb, gear up" Do certain parameters of speed and altitude have to be achieved first?
Secondly, on a standard flight (if such a thing exists) at Max weight, and no ATC restrictions, what rate of climb is usually aimed at/achieved passing FL10, 20, 30, TOC. Also is there a standard rate of descent to be planned for/ achieved during a standard descent?
Many thanks, time goes by sloooowly some days
