-PIREP Bot
Good evening Amilcar, Unfortunately, I am unable to accept the pirep as it contains multiple stalls and flight irregularities. The ultimate reason for the rejection is stalls, however there are some things I noticed in your flight log that I would like to bring to your attention. I do not know your level of sim flying as you only have one flight with us so I would just like to bring these observations to your attention. 1. Flaps were set to position 0 at 179kts and that’s what most likely initiated all of your stalls. There are a number of “V” speeds, but an important one is Vs or clean maneuvering speed (Flaps and gear full retracted) . Vs is Vref+80 is a generally accepted for the 737. 2. You started the flap extension at 13661ft above the ground, climbed to 14465 then back down to 13385 and went flaps 3 or 5°. This is way to early. Flaps 4 at 10° 238kts is fast for flaps 10. 3. To get a typical Vref speed you need to plan your trips to end with around 4,000-2,000lbs of fuel. If this was just a one off flight and it was a bad day… we all have them and get back in the air… If you are struggling to grasp the PMDG 737 let me know and I can walk you through so tips to make your life easier when you fly. Thank you for joining us here at UVA.
