Understanding Flight Phases
The inFlight Addon intelligently tracks your flight's progress and automatically transitions through various flight phases to ensure relevant announcements, interactions, and features are activated at
Here's a general overview of the flight phases that inFlight monitors:
Pre-Flight / Parked at Gate or Parking: This phase begins when you start your flight at a gate or parking position. During this time, the addon will handle initial greetings, boarding announcements, and preparations for departure.
Pushback: If applicable, inFlight will detect when your aircraft is pushing back from the gate, coordinating with ground crew interactions.
Starting Engines: The addon recognizes when engines are being started, triggering appropriate crew callouts.
Taxiing: As you taxi towards the runway, inFlight identifies this phase, enabling taxi announcements and relevant crew interactions.
On Runway / Take-Off: When your aircraft is positioned on the runway and begins its take-off roll, the addon detects this, triggering take-off announcements and safety briefings.
Climb: After take-off, inFlight monitors your ascent through various altitudes (e.g., 400 feet, 3000 feet, 5000 feet, 10000 feet, 18000 feet), adjusting announcements accordingly.
Cruise: Once your aircraft reaches its cruising altitude, the addon enters the cruise phase, where cruise-specific announcements and interactions occur.
Descent: As you begin your descent towards the destination, inFlight recognizes the various descent stages (e.g., below 18000 feet, 10000 feet, 5000 feet).
Pre-Landing: This phase prepares for landing, including pre-landing announcements and gear deployment detection.
Landing: The addon detects when your aircraft is landing, triggering landing announcements.
After Landing / Taxiing to Gate: After touching down, inFlight monitors your taxi to the gate or parking, providing relevant announcements.
Arrived at Gate / Shut Down: The final phase signifies your arrival at the gate or parking, where arrival announcements and shutdown procedures are recognized.
The inFlight Addon seamlessly transitions between these phases based on real-time flight data from your simulator, ensuring a dynamic and immersive experience.
