Introduction

Meet the aircraft

The 787 grew from Boeing's 7E7 programme and first flew in 2009. Airline service began in 2011. The family uses a composite-intensive airframe, a swept flexible wing and two large turbofans, with -8, -9 and -10 versions serving different capacity and range needs. The 787-10 is the longest of those three variants. Its cabin size and mission figures should not be borrowed from the smaller -8.

HOW IT CAME TO BE

History & design

The stretched -10 makes its first flight

The 787-10 first flew from Boeing South Carolina on 31 March 2017. Tim Berg and Mike Bryan flew the aircraft for four hours and fifty-eight minutes while evaluating controls, systems and handling. Boeing described the new version as an 18-foot stretch of the 787-9, making it the longest member of the family. The flight began the test programme for that version, several years after the original Dreamliner entered airline service.

FROM THE COCKPIT

Pilot accounts

Letting the launch customer take the controls

Mike Carriker

Carriker describes the first 787 flight as the beginning of a deliberately gradual process. The team initially stayed within a small, well-understood part of the predicted operating envelope, then expanded the testing to different weights, speeds, altitudes and system failures. Some choices had been prepared in advance so the pilots and engineers could compare alternatives in flight rather than invent a solution after a problem appeared.

His favourite moment after the excitement of the first flight was taking ANA’s lead pilots aboard. He had spent years discussing the aircraft and their training programme with them; now they could sit in the seats and use the machine themselves. While they flew, he handled the radio and ordinary supporting duties without needing to take the controls. For him, that flight connected years of laboratory work and discussion with the airline crews who would use the finished aircraft.

An airline captain inside the development team

Masami Tsukamoto

Tsukamoto was an ANA 747-400 captain working in training when a 2007 assignment took him to Boeing in Seattle. He joined development discussions as a Boeing employee and contributed the perspective of someone who would eventually operate the aircraft. His recollection includes practical cockpit details, such as the seat-adjustment switch and oxygen-mask shape, alongside broader questions about flight operations and training.

Repeated testing and delays made the wait difficult. He felt responsible for helping deliver the aircraft while wondering when he would finally be able to fly it. Seeing the completed 787 brought a particular sense of achievement after so many discussions between manufacturer and airline viewpoints. He later commanded ANA’s anniversary flight on 31 October 2021 and looked back on a decade of learning alongside the aircraft, including the difficulties encountered after it entered service.

Building an ordinary life around long-haul flying

Pip Schofield

Schofield describes moving from an A320 first-officer position to the 787 as a second officer and discovering the variety of long-haul destinations. One week could bring a stop in Houston, another in Shanghai. Reaching that cockpit had involved instructing, flying Cessnas and an Islander in Vanuatu, and operating Chieftains on mining-support work in Australia before joining the jet airlines.

The attraction came with a different rhythm at home. Trips lasting several days were followed by blocks of time off, and early-morning returns often made the first day a recovery day. Social plans moved to weekdays because many friends were also shift-working pilots. She was studying for a business degree as well, setting aside a study day when each roster arrived and reading in hotels. Her interview describes the everyday organisation behind the destinations visible on a long-haul flight plan.

The simulator model and controls

The 787 grew from Boeing's 7E7 programme and first flew in 2009. Airline service began in 2011. The family uses a composite-intensive airframe, a swept flexible wing and two large turbofans, with -8, -9 and -10 versions serving different capacity and range needs.

This profile selects Magknight Boeing 787-10 for X-Plane 12.

How this profile feels

The selected electronic-control law supplies the configured centre. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. Directed aerodynamic loading is omitted.

Aircraft trim and surface movement remain separate from fixed hardware centering. Pitch-trim relief is off. Autopilot following is off.

Controls and trim

The 787 family uses electronic flight control around conventional cockpit inceptors. Developer products separately document -8/-9/-10 airframes and GE/Rolls-Royce engines, including modeled surface behaviour after hydraulic loss.

The selected implementation

Magknight’s 787 package includes -8, -9 and -10 aircraft with GE/RR engine choices. It models hydraulic-loss surface droop and speed-dependent surface behaviour; listed custom CDU functions are partial.

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Documentary review and sources

These decisions describe the documentary basis and remaining gaps for this revision. Aircraft documentation and a starting setting describe different kinds of evidence.

Starting settings and their rationale

These configured values are starting estimates. The explanations describe what each setting controls; physical validation appears separately below.

Estimated starting settings · revision 3
SettingStarting valueWhat it controls and why
Spring strengthStarting value0.2 What it controls and whyThe selected electronic-control law supplies the configured centre. The baseline spring is 0.2. Low-speed spring blending is off.
Master force gainStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyScales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Profile force gainStarting value0 What it controls and whyThe 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.
Force tuning speed/referenceStarting value250 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Spring response reference speedStarting value122 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Aileron force scaleStarting value0.78 What it controls and whyRoll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.78 and 1, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator force scaleStarting value1 What it controls and whyScales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Trim feelStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyRetained for compatibility and group membership. Trim relief, rather than this flag, controls centre movement.
Trim reliefStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAllows trim relief with supported control law and valid telemetry. Axis authorities set its amount.
Autopilot followStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAutopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.
Autopilot neutral holdStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits centering hold during a supported AP state, separate from following a moving target.
Output force limitStarting value0.55 What it controls and whyCaps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
All 46 starting settings and their rationale

The settings define the profile’s effect balance. Device output limits affect physical hand force.

Estimated starting settings · revision 3
SettingStarting valueWhat it controls and why
Spring strengthStarting value0.2 What it controls and whyThe selected electronic-control law supplies the configured centre. The baseline spring is 0.2. Low-speed spring blending is off.
Spring deadbandStarting value0.0 What it controls and whySets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Starting centering forceStarting value0.04 What it controls and whyAdds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.
Center Starting Force TransitionStarting value0.05 What it controls and whySets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.
Profile force gainStarting value0 What it controls and whyThe 0 gain omits sustained directed airspeed loading. Spring resistance remains independent.
Master force gainStarting value0.85 What it controls and whyScales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
QBlend EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAllows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
QSpring Minimum FactorStarting value0.55 What it controls and whySets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
QSpring Start KnotsStarting value8 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Spring response reference speedStarting value122 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Force tuning speed/referenceStarting value250 ktWhat it controls and whySets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Airspeed spring stiffening gainStarting value1.0 What it controls and whyThe high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 122 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 7.8.
Airspeed spring stiffening limitStarting value7.8 What it controls and whyLimits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron force scaleStarting value0.78 What it controls and whyRoll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.78 and 1, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator force scaleStarting value1 What it controls and whyScales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Output force limitStarting value0.55 What it controls and whyCaps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Trim feelStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyRetained for compatibility and group membership. Trim relief, rather than this flag, controls centre movement.
Trim reliefStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAllows trim relief with supported control law and valid telemetry. Axis authorities set its amount.
Elevator AuthorityStarting value0 What it controls and whyAircraft trim and surface movement remain separate from fixed hardware centering. Pitch relief is off, with stored authority 0; roll authority is 0.
Aileron AuthorityStarting value0 What it controls and whyScales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Force Trim EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyEnables local force trim, separate from aircraft-owned trim and add-on integration qualification.
GLoad EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAllows load-factor changes to modify permitted spring laws. Passive fly-by-wire feel can suppress it.
Rate Damping EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyEnables rate damping with the configured coefficients and control law.
Autopilot followStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyAutopilot following is off; the configured spring and load retain the hardware feel.
Autopilot follow authorityStarting value0.1 What it controls and whySets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
Autopilot neutral holdStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyPermits centering hold during a supported AP state, separate from following a moving target.
Autopilot neutral hold strengthStarting value0.6 What it controls and whySets admitted AP neutral-hold strength; inactive while neutral hold is disabled.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables aerodynamic cues; each still needs nonzero strength and its simulator conditions.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Maximum flap indexStarting value3 What it controls and whySets the final flap index for detent normalization. UP plus three detents uses maximum index3.
Minimum flap indexStarting value2 What it controls and whySets the first flap detent that admits buffet; this is a handle index, not degrees.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Shaker EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyPermits shaker at supported warning conditions; the switch does not establish aircraft equipment.
Stick shaker amplitudeStarting value0.9 What it controls and whySets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables ground effects; each still needs its own strength and contact or motion telemetry.
GainStarting value0.4 What it controls and whySets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
GainStarting value0.25 What it controls and whySets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
GainStarting value0.65 What it controls and whySets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
EnabledStarting valueDisabled What it controls and whyEnables engine cues with nonzero settings and valid running-engine telemetry.
GainStarting value0 What it controls and whySets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
EnabledStarting valueEnabled What it controls and whyEnables accessory cues with configured strengths and observed accessory movement.
GainStarting value0.12 What it controls and whySets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
GainStarting value0.025 What it controls and whySets texture from observed gear movement, separate from aerodynamic and touchdown effects.
Limits and open questions
  • Powered FBW transport yoke with conservative fixed artificial feel. Surface droop/fadeout are not pilot-force demands; no hydraulic-loss force law inferred.
  • No public calibrated trim-to-inceptor relationship was established. Automatic trim-neutral movement is disabled.
  • No calibrated AP servo target is published. AP-follow and neutral hold remain disabled; mode indicators are not servo demand.
  • Read-only motion and accessory telemetry. No guessed custom servo outputs, input compensation or hardware writes outside the production Armed force path. Installed identity remains unobserved. No force feature is enabled merely because the developer describes a custom flight control.
  • 250 KIAS is an estimated control-feel reference, not cruise TAS, V-speeds or an operating limit.
  • Spring 0.2 at the feel floor, lateral scale 0.78, trim relief 0/0; editable estimates, not measured hand forces.
  • Physical and installed-aircraft checks are deferred. Save this profile as the aircraft default if telemetry omits its developer or configuration.
  • Only actual accessory-position changes drive movement textures. No pressure-dependent failures, guessed servo outputs or input compensation.
  • 2026-10-01, Boeing artificial feel (docs/poh/b737800-feel-spec.md, docs/research/05-transport-airliner-fbw.md, PMDG 737 introduction 0.00.30): spring 0.2 at the feel-pressure floor up to 122 kt, rising with dynamic pressure above it (737 feel pressure 180 to 1,400 psi, cap 7.8) and reaching the device's full spring at about 273 kt; a 0.04 centre starting force with no spring deadband for the about 3 lbf, as the 777 breakout, so a released column returns to neutral (PMDG reverted CMD to CWS with the stick resting 1.4-1.7 % off centre inside a 0.01 deadband); no directed aerodynamic load, trim relief or G spring (the feel computer takes airspeed and stabilizer position, and trim moves the stabilizer, not the column neutral); stick shaker 0.90; autopilot follow at full authority where a qualified reference exists. Roll firms with airspeed as pitch does, while the real roll feel is a constant spring cam. The stabilizer-position feel term, Elevator Feel Shift and forces calibrated in pounds are not modelled. The 737 feel-pressure range is applied; the 787 breakout is the published type figure.
