No crew callouts
-
Here is some information on what conditions trigger the take-off and climb phases for the callouts, and then what triggers each callout during that phase:
Take-off phase:
-
Aircraft is on the ground
-
Throttle levers set to greater than 40%
-
Strobe lights switched on
-
Landing lights switched on
"Thrust set" - throttles in detent position or thrust indicator at 100%
"80 knots" - ASI reading 80 KIAS or greater
"Rotate" - ASI reading VR speed or greater (as shown on speeds card)
"Positive rate of climb, gear up" - Above 50ft AGL, vertical speed greater than 500ft/min, gear down
Climb phase:
-
Gear up
-
Above 50ft AGL
-
Vertical speed greater than 500ft/min
"Flap 11" - Above 600ft AGL, flaps set to greater than 11 degrees
"Flaps up" - Above 800ft AGL, flaps set to greater than 0 degrees, ASI reading greater than VFTO speed (as shown on speeds card)
"Set power" - Above 1000ft AGL, flaps up, ASI reading greater than VFTO speed (as shown on speeds card)

@martyn
Could you provide the conditions for landing also.
I am hit and miss on getting landing flaps and gear call outs.
Thanks -

Approach phase:
- ASI reading less than 250 KIAS
- Less than 6000ft AGL
- Vertical speed less than -500ft/min
- Or BEAM mode engaged and localiser captured
- Or GLIDE mode engaged and glideslope captured
"Course bar active" - localiser alive, course bar moving
"Localiser" - localiser captured
"Glideslope" - glideslope captured
"Speed" - ASI reading less than VREF - 5 KIAS and above 150ft AGL
"100 feet to minimums" - 100ft above radio altimeter bug height
"Minimums" - At radio altimeter bug height
"Flaps 11" - Less than 3000ft AGL, ASI reading less than 190 KIAS, flaps set to less than 11 degrees
"Flaps 25" - Less than 2000ft AGL, ASI reading less than 160 KIAS, flaps set to less than 25 degrees
"Flaps 42" - Less than 1500ft AGL, ASI reading less than 150 KIAS, flaps set to less than 42 degrees
"Gear down" - Less than 2500ft AGL, ASI reading less than 170 KIAS, gear not down -

Thanks Martyn, great information.Curious to why you have the less than -500 fpm as a condition.
I sometimes have to descend greater than that if ATC keeps me high.
Might explain why sometimes I get the landing call-outs and sometimes I don't.I would think once your ASI is less than 190 KIAS, you should be bringing out your flaps regardless of what your vertical speed is.
I don't expect you to change your program just for me but is there a "tweak" that I could apply to remove the vertical speed condition?
Might give me more reliable landing call outs. -

@lancealotg Apologies, I do mean greater than -500fpm, e.g. -700fpm, -1500fpm etc
@martyn
Got it, thanks for the help. -
I have always heard sounds including music during boarding, cabins crew, FO, etc.
Except today, when I started my flight C&D at EGCC I didn’t hear any of these standard calls, except that I did get calls during the approach and landing phase, as well as taxiing in.
What are the triggers from a C&D state to get the ball rolling in terms of crew calls?
Thanks.

@fab10 do you have headphone mode simulated in the MS sound menu? When I do that I lose the 1000' to go tone and the crew announcement about starting service but still have the rest.
