• Active, alternate, 2 temporary as well as secondary flight plans
• 2 completely independent MCDUs and autopilots
• Pilot item database for custom fixes, navaids, flight plans and runways
• Full VNAV guidance with TOC, TOD, Deceleration point, speed limits, fuel prediction, and consideration of speed and altitude constraints etc.
• Support for go-arounds and diversions
• Step altitudes
• Offset function
• Satellite availability model, including prediction for specific places and times
• Nav Aid autotuning
• Flight plan saving via the Pilot routes page

• Fault injection interface allowing to inject custom selected failures, or randomly selected failure based on fault probabilities with over 210 failure modes available
• Custom TCAS with resolution advisory function
• Terrain on ND and Weather radar available (WX radar works with default X-plane weather engine)
• Brake temperature model based on the detailled physics of heat transfer between the individual brake components
• Hydraulics model in which the pressure is dependent on usage. This is most notable when dropping to RAT mode
• Detailed model of each ADIRU including alignment, small pressure sensor differences between the units, switching of sources for PFDs
• Custom air conditioning model supporting high altitude operations at airports like Cusco in Peru or La Paz in Bolivia without spurious warnings

• Custom indicating system including DMC and SDAC simulation

Eye- and ear-candy:

• Detailled 3D cockpit
• 3D exterior model with CFM and IAE engine
• Choice between classic wingtip fences or modern sharklets (controlled via livery names), this also affects aircraft performance
• Custom sounds from Turbine Sound Studios (TSS) included for all engines
• Integration of X-plane 12 native rain effects

Useability features:

• Situation loading and saving. It is possible to save the flight at any point in time and resume it another day. This can also be used, e.g., to save the position just before approach and practice just the approach many times
• Autosaving allows recovering where you left off, should the X-Plane session end unexpectedly
• Jumping waypoint-to-waypoint through the cruise phase: Shorten your flight to focus on the more interesting parts as you like.
• Integrated takeoff performance calculator supporting the use of flex temperature
• 4 different start-up configurations from Cold and Dark to engines running and ready to go
• In-screen popup displays or use of x-plane windows for popups
• Interactive audio control panel to change ground services, fuel, loading, passengers etc. without breaking immersion
• Electronic flight bag on both sides with Avitab integration and a weight and balance computation screen. (More features to come with updates)

VERSION 1.7 (Build 1631)
New features:

• ISCS in EFB
• Hydraulic improvement package:
  • Added simulation of trapped hydraulic fluid in asymmetric actuators such as landing gear or spoiler actuators
  • Fixed the PTU overheat when ENG1 is failed
• MCDU improvement package:
  • CLR command is now indented in scratchpad as in real life
  • DIR TO page prefills the RADIAL IN on the DIR TO page as required
  • FPLN Page Destination EFOB turns amber, if below minimum required
