MD-11 baro setting pre-select?

[poschrob]

Hello,

does the MD-11 has such an option like the 744 or the 737NG to only pre-select the baro pressure as part of the descent preparation and push STD to set it to the pre-selected pressure at TL?

I've just read through the corresponding part in the documentations/manuals I could find on the web but those only mention that pulling the knob sets it to standard 1013/29.92.

Thanks!

Yes I believe it does.

Hi there, yepp, pulling the knob sets Standart, 1 klick to the left or right selects presettings! Hope this will help, cheers MD11f

But as far as I know you won't see a message like "STD" as you may know it from the NG Boeing ;)

I think we just found another flightsim pilot here ;)

Well it's always hard to make a statement without supporting facts but I believe the word STD is present on the MD11 altimeter pre select feature.

Facts?

Well have a look at cockpit shots at airfare 3d image aerial photography at airlines.net (http://www.airlines.net) of enroute B744s - that is one fact then ;)
