General Maintainance

Is there a way to just service necessary items instead of overhauling a system? My Alaska Airlines bird is burning oil and low in one tank of hydraulic fluid. Is there a way to effectively just "top off" the fluids? or do i just press to service them via the maintenance pages, thus restarting the service required clock? Thanks

I asked a few days ago about this, and Shane (yycvor) is asking currently to, no one seems to know lol

Any elaboration? Haha

Thinking he is saying you have to service the system............

No, there's no way to simple fill up the fluids. Sorry, I just read your post quickly and overlooked you asking if you just press the service button.

Oh ok. Haha, well maybe PMDG will add that to the expansion to have a button to "top off" fluids.

Is there a section in the FMC where we can carry out maintenance? I haven't seen it yet...

sorry to dig this back up out of the grave, but there is a way to refill the hydraulic quantity without doing the overhaul, its on failures, hydraulics, programmed, and on page 3, you see A and B sys qty refill.....i dont see anything for the engine oil though, maybe pmdg forgot to put it in?

Where?

You're not the reading type of guy, I assume.

So my NGX with service based failures is also burning oil. The problem is that when I service the engine system, it does not refill the oil. I even tried servicing all systems and still no change to oil levels. Any suggestions??

Reload the aircraft, you won't lose your hours, but it will top up your oils.
