JB Panels 777 FMS

for
Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2
The Flight Management System (FMS) provies flight planning an control functions as
!ell as access to navigational ata containe in the FSX "PS ata#ase$
The FMS operates on a FSX flight plan using the FSX "PS for lateral navigation an
flight plan !aypoint moifications$ %t also computes an controls a vertical flight path
for the flight plan an provies spee control an throttle management$
The 777 FMS is an integrate component of the JB Panels 777 panel$ %t is esigne to
interact !ith the 777 panel components to provie flight management an control
functions$ %t !ill not operate as a stan alone unit$
This ocument provies a escription of the features an operation of the FMS$ &efer to
the JB777 Sample Flight ocument (JB777SampleFlight$pf) for a !or'ing e(ample of
the FMS use to plan) control an monitor a flight$
