- Welcome to this PMDG 777 Cold and Dark Tutorial.
First, we will have a quick tour of the PMDG 777 flight deck.
We will then go through the Electrical Power Up Supplementary Procedure SP 6.2. You will find this procedure in the FCOM 1 in your PMDG Folder in your computer, PMDG/PMDG 777X/Flight Manuals/PMDG 777 FCOM v1. Please note that, in real, we don't really go through this procedure as the aircraft is never "cold and dark."
After that, we will do the Preliminary Preflight Procedure and the Preflight Procedure. For the CDU Preflight Procedure, please refer to my FMC Tutorial video here • PMDG 777 Tutorial: How...

After recently reviewing this video, I actually realised there are a few comments regarding the "narration" or audio track, etc... I have to say I find these comments highly disrespectful given the type and quality of content delivered here for flight simulation. I am not a gamer, I am not a "clown". If you can't get beyond the audio track or narration and take the time to see the value of the video, then you are not welcome here (I will remain polite). Cheers!
This is the most understandable tutorial I have ever watched !! Thank you very much dear :)
+Jordanian Aviator Thank you very much, good to hear you like it.
Invaluable tutorials - especially since they're by a real 777 captain. Watching these while awaiting the MSFS release of the 777!
Thanks for tuning in, I hope you enjoy the tutorials and videos.
I was very impressed with your video, even though I saw a lot of videos on the three types of Boeing 737 747 777. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. You've gone through every button and switch on the O/H panel and the panel in the cockpit. Thank you very much and hope to see more videos from you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Have a look around the channel for more similar videos. Have fun!
I’m a real life A332F pilot. Got the fsx se and b777 pmdg because i always wanted to fly the triple. This is a great tutorial.
I am glad you like it and it gives you an insight into the 777👍
I'm watching all your tutorials this is an incredible channel thank you so mutch for everything!
+Bruno Santos Thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it.
I have watched only 2 of your videos about 777, Captain Nav, (The Cold and Dark and the Startup). They were enough to make me one more subscriber. Very good tutorials indeed. Gratuliere! I1ve notice you have great experience and most probably fly real 777s. Thank you for that!!
+Josias Martins Jr Thank you very much for your kind comment and the subscription. I am glad you like the 2 videos you mentioned. I invite you to have a look around the channel for other 777 tutorial videos, but also for 777 flights, etc...which are very helpful too.
Welcome to the channel😄
Excellent video and in a nice speed to learn.
Thanks Captain Nav! All I need now is to buy the 777! Been wanting to for ages, and soon as I can afford it I look forward to using the video you've made, cheers mate, and as always hope you're well!
+Adrian Koola I can highly recommend it, it is a good addon. I hope you are well too.
first step: keep the fmc menu button pushed for some seconds > fs actions > establish ground connections > external power available for startup! apu only needed during pushback, saves fuel! :)
i dont see the button on the overhead panel to take the external power
Awesome video! I learned a lot about the 777! You really know what you're doing!
+Sebi You are welcome. 😎
Thanks for sharing this great video, captain!
+Elnatã Gouvêa You are welcome, I am glad you like it.
Great job and video as always, Captain! Thank you! 👍
+Yoke, Rudder and Crosswinds Thank you
+Yoke, Rudder and Crosswinds thanks
Thank you for sharing Captain Nav. Very informative…
Hi Harris I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you.👍
Thanks this is very helpful!
I am glad you found the video useful. Thanks.
Fantastic!! I have a book full of notes now and can follow step by step well done sir
+filthydirtyrecordsTV Thank you very much. I am glad you find the video useful.
Thank you for this. Just got the FF 777 V2 and this will be very useful.
You are welcome. Thanks for tuning in, I hope the video is useful👍
Great Video Captain Nav! Your videos are always entertaining and I learnt a lot from this video! I might make some PMDG 777 videos soon so this is great help! Again, Well Done and I'm looking forward to your next video!
Thank you very much for your kind comment, I am glad you find the videos useful and entertaining. Good luck with your videos.
Thanks!
Thanks ! This helped very much.
You are welcome.
Very useful video, many thanks for sharing your knowledge
You are most welcome, thanks for watching.
Great videos thank you . I wish I had discovered this before I started my sim training
+p kohal Thank you for the kind comment, I am glad you like the video. I invite you to have a look around the channel, there are plenty of videos about the 777, etc...
Thank you so mutch for this video sir you're awesome!
+Bruno Santos You are too kind!
Perfect... you really share knowledge rather just game...
+Anwar Salim Definitely! To me, this is not a game, but more like a simulator and a step towards reality...
And thanks for answering my questions
+shukri mohamed You are welcome.
Very nice video, very helpful!
Thank you very much, I am glad you find it helpful :-)
Are you a pilot in real life?
+Gilles Yes I am
This 777 seems much better than the VMAX one for X-Plane!
Great video as usual, be good to see 737 cold and dark startup and shutdown. I would also like to see a flight from EGCC to EGPH with entire procedure incl radio frequencies and communication with ATC, inputting VOR/ADF frequencies as I know many of us simmers don't understand how the comma work
Keep up the good work
+robert48tube I don't know if you have checked out the PF3 video, it is actually a flight from EGCC to EGPH. Hopefully, I will be able to do the flight on VATSIM soon.
The cold and dark start up tutorial is the best I have seen. I have watched many of them, and this is the only one that everything that should be done is shown. It is obvious that you have good experience. Do you have a video on the how to use the Auto Pilot from take off, when the LNAV and VNAV should be engaged, etc...
+Kodjo Efu Thank you very much, I am glad you find the video useful, I tried my best to make it as relevant and informative as possible. Request noted.
Thank. I see a lot of videos where people use the auto pilot, but they do not satisfactorily explain why they are pressing certain buttons. neither do the explain if the sequence in which they are pressing the button is obligatory or if the sequence could be changed. Also, the simulation of your plane is great. I got the 777-300 from flight factor and I find the simulation is not as great as yours.
Hi captan nav,why does my primary flight display remain dark with the sppend and alt but not the pitch
Great video Cap! You help us a lot with your videos! Keep going!
A question, what's the minimum Hyd Qty, OXY Crew Press and Eng Oil during the preliminary procedures for a proper dispatch? I always check these items but dont know exactly if theyre OK or not for the flight.
Thanks for your help!
Thank you for your nice comment and question.
Roughly speaking, you are looking at 1500 for the oxygen, at least 18 for the oil and at least 95 for the hydraulic. The simulation should give you good values, I guess....👍
@@CaptainNav Thanks Cap! Much appreciated!
Thanks for your answer, i was hopful when i saw the quality of your vidéos and specialy how you use Ezdok. But i am sure you can make a very good tutorial
+Patrick Leroy I will see what I can do😉
I bought Ezdok few month ago, it's still on the same place, because i don't understand at all the vidéos on UA-cam. You know i am french and the French people aren't the best for the foreign language :) :)
But for me your vidéos are praticable, clear and not to fast, it's why for the first time i subscribe to a channel, and i hope it's not to difficult for you to anderstand my english. Thanks you so much for trying.
Thanks for this got a 777 sim coming up, relying on your videos Captain, thank you sir 🙏…. Have you by any chance got a video on visual raw data flying, raw data ILS, and go around?… also how to trim ?
Hi thanks for tuning in. I am glad you fond the video useful.
I do have videos about raw data ILS and Go Around...and much more.
Have a look around the 777 playlist on the channel👍
Thanks Captain
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Great video Nav! Are you using an add on to change the views? It's very smooth, I'm not able to that at all. Cheers
+gorian michaels The add-on for the views is called EZDOK. I have had it for a few weeks now and I like it, it works quite well, once you set up all the views, etc....Sometimes, there is a bit of stutter when changing views on the PMDG 777, but otherwise, it is very good. Thank you for the nice comment!
Right at the start...how do you get the eye view to be central across the flight deck - mine is biased either to the Capt OR the F/O view depending on my choice from the drop-down menu (I don't have a central view where I could just zoom in/out rather than the menu choice)
+opensesame525 To get all these views, I use a software called EZDOK. It is some sort of camera/views addon.
Can you also do a tutorial on how to like power off the plane like completely?
+Λmadeus Request noted, thanks.
How can i turn all displays on?
Done all these, but when I’m ready for departure, I set my flaps to 5 and I get an error saying slats primary fail and flaps primary fail, what am I missing? Also gears don’t come up after positive rate climb
At first sight, I would say you have failures enabled in the simulation. Try to clear all malfunctions.
Why did you turn the vor l and vor r on? Is this needed when using lnav following the fmc?
+Russell Jones No, theoretically you don't need to, but it is nice to have the VOR displayed on the Navigation Display for situational awareness....
Great content sir. I have downloaded your video in my mobile phone since 2019 and regularly watch it whenever i get boring... Now I'm also a P3dv5 simmer, I have question. How do we change camera views inside VC like you did in your video (from captain view to upper head, lower head, fmc, front panel etc) I have no idea about it. Even didn't find any idea on Google as well.
Hi thank you for your kind comment.
At the time the video was made I believe I was using EZ DOK, but for camera views, nowadays, I use Chaseplane. Otherwise you can also use the P3D view system.
@@CaptainNav Aah.... That's why i didn't get it.... It was external control. Thanks sir..... Hopefully I can get some more helpful information from you onwards.
Thank you, that was extremely informative. I have one question. What do the packs do?
+NeonsStyle The packs mainly provide air conditioning in the aircraft and help with the pressurisation process (a bit like A/C in your house). I am glad you like the video and find it informative. I invite you to have a look around the channel, there are plenty more videos...!
I have and I'm watching another of urs right now. Thanks for the help.
+NeonsStyle You are welcome
You're my flight instructor at the moment, so thank you! My Dad was a 777 Check Airman for United (now retired). What airline did you fly for?
+Adapa Cool, thanks. As you might know I am not talking about the airline I fly for.
Definitely AirFrance
😄
have you flown the 777 in actual life?Are you following the same proc since im transitioning to 777 so maybe this video can help ,i always like watchn videos on youtube of fsx before actually doing the training it gives me an edge
Yes I am a 777 pilot. Sure the videos can help you for your transition course, just make sure you follow your company SOP's though, which might be different from what I am showing in the video.😉
@@CaptainNav Thought so, the way you were doing the panels gave me clues of an actual airline pilot;yes i surely will follow the sop,my airline becomes really particular abt it during transition training only,hehe ;)which actually ruins my habits aswell,
why you need calcualting??
How do you move around (camera angle) with such agility in the virtual cockpit? Is there an addon for this?
+Sandman® Yes indeed, it is an addon called EZDOK
hold space and use your mouse and you can look at everything with your mouse!
i've an warningmessege; STABILIZER .............. what do i have to do ( i can't turn the right engine off too)
+Evert adams Did you enable failures? Do the associated checklist, see if it helps. Otherwise, disable failures.
Question : can you choose the aircraft you want to fly In the flight school
+shukri mohamed Well, I guess it depends on how many different planes the flight school has. They will try to teach you on the more basic planes like a Cessna 152 or Robin Dr400.
Thanks for all this nice vidéos. About a question from Patrick Mosur a month ago " how do you move around like that ?", you were talking "with a addon call Ezdok. Could you make a vidéo (tuto) for explain this. I try to find one on UA-cam but nothing realy good.
Sorry for my English :)
+Patrick Leroy I am not very knowledgeable on EZDOK, I am not sure I could make a good tutorial.
Captain Nav please do a tutorial on ezdok:)
+Λmadeus I will try but I am far from being a specialist.
why my 777, after set cold & dark, when i power on the aircraft starts with the pfd aligned ? it should be disaligned like the ND, like in your video, shouldn' t it? how can i set it as well ?
+Massimiliano Aurigemma I am not sure, as you said, if you select cold and dark, once the aircraft systems are initialised, the PFD should not be aligned... Strange!
Captain Nav maybe i have set Adiru on during power up, after start ext power and battery
+Massimiliano Aurigemma Yes I think that it is one of the options, short or long ADIRU alignment. In the video, at about 07:40 the PFD's are aligned too, I have noticed...
Capt good day. Why when I start the apu it says fault and in the eicas it says APU and APU START SYS? It seems I cant start the apu
+Dane Jones You must have failures enabled. Possibly the maintenance thing... Check the options to see if that is the case.
Captain Nav you're right haha thankyou capt
is the second officer the technician of the aeroplane
+shukri mohamed Maybe you mean the First Officer. Well, I would not say he is the technician of the aeroplane, but he certainly has a lot of tasks to complete in the flight deck. That way, the captain has more capacity to deal with any issues and keep the "big picture."
How do you move the camera like that
+satyaki adak I use a software called EZDOK, which allows you to change views and move around the flight deck, but also outside the aircraft.
Why do my panels take so long to load, after I turn everything on? (Altitude and NAV panels)
+Captain K How long does it take? I mean, it does take a while, but if it takes 30 minutes, then there is something wrong.
Not sure, but I've waited a good 5-10 minutes before abandoning.
+Captain K 10 minutes is too long, there could be a problem potentially.
How do u set the views like this? switching to each other by one click
With a software called EZDOK
I don't suggest ezdok, i would get ChasePlane now. Way better than ezdok also have a better UI.
@@WizDaGamer I agree. ChasePlane its way better than EZDOK. Though EZDOK does its work very well too.
I will come with other questions if I need
+shukri mohamed Anytime!
what happend to the no smoking sigh
I have the pmdg 777 and there is a no smoking sigh
+Kevin hews The no smoking sign is an option, you can choose whether or not to have it. It is OK.
Pc Specs?
are you moroccan royal air maroc?
Who knows?😄
How do you move around like that?
+Patrick Mosur It is a view addon called EZDOK. It allows you to move around the virtual flight deck, etc...
How do I make my PMDG planes cold and dark because when I start my game up, they start up automatically
+CyteYT Go to PMDG Set up (I think that's what it is called), load panel state, cold and dark. Enjoy!
That menu is located in the CDU btw
+Crunchy Memes Thanks
Please!!!! make new tutorial series for the new PMDG 777!
why? Its the same plane
I could not agree more😄👍
I might update some of the tutorials with P3D as the base sim.
@@CaptainNav Would love to see that. Thank you for all the tutorials. If possible, could you make 777 circuit training video.
i have 777 addon on my fsx but not pmdg. The cockpit is dark but the engine is on and i can fly it. Idk this is the addon error or what.
It should not be dark, I think.
Captain Nav hm ok btw thank for your comment
I know it's been 5 months but I used to have the same problem with my 737 PMDG. After a whole month of searching, I found the solution. It turns out, FSX SP2 was somehow not supported by PMDG. So I installed SP3 and it worked perfectly fine.
Captain nav is this a pay ware Plane? :D
+TheGamingZD Yes, it is.
PLEASE SOLVE ME LANDING ALTUDUDE ALERT ON GROUND
+Azerbaycan Virtual Airlines You get the EICAS Landing Altitude message if you have not entered a route in the FMC or if you have pulled the landing altitude selector on the pressurisation panel.
How do you play multiplayer
+satyaki adak Maybe you mean on an online network....? I fly on VATSIM. There is another well known network called IVAO. Basically, you connect to the network and fly with other pilots, but also Air traffic controllers. Do an online search for these two networks and you will be able to find out more.
actual video starts at 3:40. Captain Nav, I don't mean to be, well... mean, but I don't care about oxygen masks, and jumpseat locations in a virtual aircraft, and items which have no purpose what so ever. Thank you!
+Patrick Mosur It was just to have a look around the flight deck, it is actually well recreated. I am glad you like the rest of the video😄
see you
+shukri mohamed Thanks for stopping by
I just subscribed
+Baseball and soccer And planes Thank you. Have fun with the channel!
Captain Nav thanks!
Captain Nav you should get the PMDG 747 v2 queen of the skies
+Baseball and soccer And planes I will get the new release of the 747. I am also planning on getting the QW 787 whenever it is released....
+Baseball and soccer And planes You are welcome!
Do you fly the 777 in real life
+Nathan Graham Yes I do.
Un joli accent Français ^^
Indeed...
Mdr
yes but perfect English
Is the fuel automatic added?
+That RedGuy No, you can change the fuel via the FS options menu.
Captain Nav oke thank you cuse it works in a other way with an airbus
+That RedGuy No worries
Sorry, should read comms, not comma (autocorrect !)
Captain Nav Love me :)
Plz tell me fast
+satyaki adak Is 1 hour fast enough? :-)
how to set it to cold and dark?
I think there is an option in the FMC
how?
on the second fmc it says cockpit or something like that and set it on cld and dark
the FMC is located at the bottom. This is where you put all the details for your route to fuel to pretty much everything else
Thank you
why in real the aircraft is not cold and dark
+shukri mohamed As I said in the video, it is rare to find the aircraft "cold and dark" as there is always an engineer nearby looking after it, cleaners on, catering, cargo, etc....Planes come and go all the time, and have very little "rest" in between flights. During my time on the 777, so far, I have only come across 1 aircraft which was cold and dark. I think it had been sitting for a few hours at a remote location and did not need attending. Otherwise, the aircraft would always be on. This is also why we have a supplementary procedure, not a normal procedure, for powering up the aircraft.
where did you download this 777 ?
+keyzer soze This is the PMDG 777. Please do an online search for it, you can't miss it!
Captain Nav i mean where did you download exacly this airplane (thanks for the answer you are doing great job )
+keyzer soze Do you mean the livery? It comes with the aircraft itself. You need to purchase the aircraft on the PMDG website, and then download it and install it in FSX or Prepar3d.
Captain Nav thank you very much
+keyzer soze You are welcome.
taxture is reality
Love this video but you need to somehow stop saying ah, as soon as I picked up on it I couldn't stop hearing it
+Benjamin Batchelor Thank you for your comment, I am glad you like the video in spite of the "ah" 😄
Never understood what you said in the video :/
He is a real 777/737 captain, shame u couldn't understand.
sometimes i need subtitles to understand
+Beyond The Stars No worries, if English is not your first language, or even your second, then I can understand.
i am not that bad at english however i don't get what i didn't understand
I am fond of flying can I have your fb account I want you to guide me
+satyaki adak If you look at the video description, there is a link to the Captain Nav Facebook page. Come and say hi.
ahh ahhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhhh ahhh ahhhhha ahhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhha ahhh ahhh ahhhh... maybe you should edit that out of your audio track, it's deeply annoying n makes it hard to keep watching. Great content though.
Ahh ahhhh ahhhh ahhh.😃👍
@@CaptainNav lol
At least he Speaks english, no frence Guy does nowadays
Thanks jerk, now it's all I notice. lol
I know this is a year + later but to be honest I find this type of comments highly disrespectful, given the type and quality of the content. There are very few videos like this out there for flight simulation and if all you can focus on is the "narration" or audio track, then you are not welcome here (I will remain polite).👍
Too many ah's....
Ah
Stop saying errrr
Exactly!
You made it too long, and so boring mate !
this video is very informative (imho not long enough :p) but definetly not booring... and it got him a new subscriber :p
+BobCat981 Thank you very much for the kind comment and the subscription. I am glad you like the video and find it interesting. Enjoy the channel 😎
+Eli-Jan van Wijnbergen I would not go as far as saying this is like p..n, but I agree.
Long speaking I did not enjoy this
+Strejda Radoš It is a shame. Maybe you will like other videos.
