Fault list?

[rober]

Hello Dutch,

where I can find the list for the fault.
Because I think, if I have had a fault during a flight, I want to know, what happened during the flight, because I received nothing.
Thx for the answer.

If by fault you mean mechanical fault, they are numbered and any fault that occurs will be stored as a part of the log entry for that flight viewable from the 'view details' button on the detailed log.

There's a list of what the numbers mean in Appendix 3 of the User's Guide.

If you mean fault as in something you did wrong, then they are listed when you view the details of a log entry either in the administrator or the FCOM.

Hope this helps,
Dutch

Hello Dutch,
of course the mechanical fault list.
What I have found is:
Mechanical Fault:
Mechanical faults in FSCaptain come from two sources: those triggered by FSCaptain itself as
part of its failure modes, or alternatively those which originate outside FSCaptain from the aircraft. In
the latter case, the FCOM monitors the operation of the aircraft's systems and detects failures. When a
fault occurs the FCOM will diagnose it and assign it a fault code. A listing of all such codes is in an
appendix in the User's Guide. The codes fall into two distinct categories: serious faults and acceptable
faults. The acceptable ones are those which do not call for the declaration of an emergency or the
cancellation of a the flight. These are number below 200. Any fault above 200 is a serious one and
justifies an emergency declaration (if in flight) or cancellation (if pre-flight).
A mechanical fault will be usually announced by your first officer if you have one on your
flight. Although he or she may not be able to notice it until long after it has occurred. You should
monitor your instructions looking for signs of trouble.
When a fault occurs you have the option of using the F5=Emergency option on Page ID 23
Flight Status, or the F9=Cancel Flight option from that same page.
Generally, you should use F9 to cancel the flight if the failure is serious but not too serious – for
instance a single engine failure on a multi-engine aircraft, or the failure of the artificial horizon on a
CAVU day. Use F5=Emergency for any other problem or if you are not sure.
Do you mean this part?
So I have a marking in my Log details a mech fault 203(+15).
So when I understand it correctly the User Guide tell me, that I need to declare a emergency above 200, and below 200 there is not a serious one.
So during my flight a got no message or nothing that I do know that I have a serious problem on board, so I don't declare emergency, but in the User's guide it tells me I need to declare an emergency.
So I am confused of the situation now.
I hope you can help me.
Thx.
Rober.

I recommend checking the box on the "Options for All Airlines" page to "Display Failure Codes on FCOM".

If you do that, then if a fault occurs you will see the fault code on any page of the FCOM on the 2nd line right under the title colored in red.

That way, you won't be in doubt. If you see a fault code there of 200 or over, you are authorized to declare an emergency. You don't have to do that though, if you can proceed to your destination and land normally you'll be rewarded with points for doing that.

Another clue is the First Officer announcing the fault, like you said.

Hope this helps,
Dutch

this helps me really. But checking this next time if I got an emergency. Thx for the first.
