Tutorial Flight Plan?

@razalom said in Tutorial Flight Plan?:
Nope,also searching for it. Plane looks very nice but would like to fly it :-)

There are quite a few from JustFlight and others for the X-Plane and other versions that can be used seeing they have pretty much the exact same systems so I'm not that fussed about an MSFS specific version. It works well for me anyway!
The only MSFS specific thing I can see that needs a bit of a guide is the FMS but the Working Title manual is OK for that. It isn't that complex, especially if you have used an FMC on another aircraft before.

Haven't looked for the tutorial flight plan myself but I would assume it's missing for me as well.
Anyway, it's not flown in LNAV mode with a flight plan in the FMS like you might be used to in a airliner but it's being done the old way, VOR to VOR, you have to tune-in the frequencies on your own with NAV (not RNAV) selected as the HSI source and V/L (VOR/Localizer) on the autopilot glareshield.

I didn't find the file either; I didn't think about a preset plan and just loaded up to the stand myself. As a result, I was a few pounds off and some things were different but I got the gist of it.
I wish the pacing was a little different. The first turn to a VOR happens relatively quick after takeoff when I was still struggling with getting the airplane pitched properly and settled while reading the manual, so I ended up blowing right by it and had to turn around and come back about 40 miles.
@Martyn , if I could make one suggestion to it, the descent is awfully aggressive for a first time. Even at flight idle, at 2000fpm descent I had to use a bunch of speed brake to stay at 250kts or less the entire way down. Turning towards the NDB at 55 miles DME from HON I didn't pick up the ILS until very close and way north of the airport, too close to align and still very fast.
There was something odd about the first approach, though. I was at or near idle power could not slow down for the life of me, no real effect from flap deployment, but on my third pass with flaps down I needed a lot of throttle to stay above 125kts. Dunno what happened on that first shot, maybe the 146 just doesn't shed speed very quickly.
Likely a lot of user error mixed in there, but yeah the tutorial descent felt very compressed/aggressive.

I couldn't find the flight plane either so I created a very basic one in Little Nav Map to do the job.
