What happens when the FMS and the ACARS go down together?

Seen that happen too! Now you're without your route in the FMS or in the ACARS history. In fact it happened once when we were like number 3 for departure on a nasty night in Newark. That ended up being a fun night.

That's why the route is on our release.
 
What if you didn't get it as it was filed?

(Can you tell that I've played this game, and had all the answer you did until one day WHAM! I had nothing in my hands?)

"hey center....our FMS just died and we lost our route. Can you give us a vector and can you read us our route again?"
 
I like the pens that come from The Hilton in YQB. But I really need a pocket-protector as Ive already ruined several shirts with ink stains!

Hence the reason my laziness is notorious rather than the run of the mill laziness. I generally toss the squawk in the box and set the initial altitude in as soon as we get the PDC. Departure freq goes in the scratch pad (aka the stand by on Nav 2). If it's a re-route, it gets written on the release anyway.

Had that problem about a month ago. Sitting there (fat, dumb, and happy for those who care) and the FMS decides it has had enough for the day (5th leg in that particular airplane).

We were about over VUZ heading to CHS. Ended up getting a heading direct IRQ until we passed ATL, then direct CHS.

I'm not saying I ever did this but I heard if you pull the circuit breaker right behind the captain's right shoulder (panel 1 forgot which row) labeled FMS and reset it, usually you'll get the FMS back. I'm just saying this is what I heard from my cousin's girlfriend's uncle.

P.S. Hilton Pens and Hyatt pens are the best for free pens.

Heard that one too, somewhere...

It was a nice clear night so we just switched over to green needles and continued on. Figured we would get some "old school" flying in.:D

Just wait until you have one where you it autoloads your flight plan, wind and performance data. Literally takes say, 3 minutes to program an entire 12 hour international flight plan.

Life is goooooood on the ER! :)
