When does FMC tell you when to descend?
When does FMC tell you when to descend?
IFR, ATC will tell you when to descend. The descent rate is set by you via the AP control panel. 3. The FMC’s job is to get you to the vicinity of the airport, not to land. Once you get within approximately 20-30 miles of the airport, you should be on a heading so that you can intercept the ILS LOC.

When do you use FMC on a plane?
On a real flight in a busy airport like New York, you may fly for 15 or 20 miles before you even use the FMC. At the destination, you go to a heading 20-30 miles before the airport. Of course there are exceptions but more times than not, that’s what happens.
Why does FMC Send Me a different route?
If I program my route, complete with SID and STARs as appropriate, the route is invariably somewhat different to that which FS9 sends me as as the default IFR routing for that flight. So, when I engage ATC on the flight, it is determined to send me a different way from the ‘realistic’ route.
