Fokker 100

In this detailed look at the Fokker 100, presented with British Midland, you'll experience a round-trip from East Midlands International Airport in the UK to Nice in the south of France. Your journey begins in the crew dispatch office for pre-flight preparations and a detailed briefing for the flight. Next we join the senior British Midland aircrew for a guided tour of the externals of the aircraft, before moving to the flightdeck for departure from East Midlands' runway 27. During the outbound sector the Captain gives you lots of information regarding the aircraft, systems and its operation. Follow the manual landing into Nice using runway 04L. The return sector has the First Officer as Pilot Flying for a zero flap take-off from Nice's runway 04R. The Navigation Log and fuel calculations are explained in depth and you are taken through the overhead panel in detail. Then settle into the descent for a CAT IIIa Autoland into East Midlands' runway 27. During the flight you will not only see just how the aircraft is flown but will be able to follow Air Traffic Control, see the briefings, checklists and procedures carried out in the cockpit on a scheduled airline flight.
