Hi Guys,

does anyone know if it is possible to change the Flaps Setting for the Approach Reference speed from "Flaps 40" to "Flaps 30" within the PM Boeing FMC (approach page)? I donīt seem to be able to make inputs there.

Besides that, I am quite happy with the new builds, especially when updated with Navigraph NavData.


Best regards,
Stefan.

OK, found it. But you can only put data in manually there, right? At least on my machine, there is no calculation done.
EDIT:
Iīm talking about the "Flaps/Speed" setting, LSK 4R on the "Approach Ref" page. The "Flaps VREF" setting on LSK 1R does not seem to be changeable at all.
