I did itt!!! I successfully flew my first full route in which I programmed the departure and arrival approaches in the FMC and landed with an ILS approach. It was EHAM to LKPR. Thanks a bunch.
The flight went flawlessly and the plane landed itself. I recorded the last few hundred feet through the landing to a full stop. I am going to master this flight and write down notes until I can do the flight without watching the video. Then I will plan my own flights and eventually add a little more complexity and learning exactly what all the numbers mean and such. Thank you.
Excellent no-nonsense tutorial. In an emergency I’d want you up front. Thanks for explaining how to correct the landing weight for more accurate v speed for landing.
I will try the flight and have been looking for a straight from A-B tutorial with minimal setup involved as a start. The only thing I am worried about is that for the first few minutes he zoomed in on everything which is great, but then for the whole flight he was zoomed way back and I cannot see any details of what he was doing, but at least I can see where the cursor was pointing so maybe it will work out for me. Thank you.
Oh man I love your checklist on the right hand side as you go!!! All the many others out there that do these tutorials need to pay attention and do the same especially that P Gatcomb guy! He drinks like 20 cups of coffee before he does a video and you can’t follow a word he’s saying!!!
Great tutorial. Just a thought on using the reversers. They really don't have to be used on a dry runway with autobrake set and spoilers up as long as you have plenty on runway left.
@@FlightSimCoach Thanks for the reply. I am trying to familiarise myself with the 737 as my family are treating me to a 2 hour time simulator course, which I am looking forward to. My question was more about the ease with which you move around the cockpit and view the controls etc. I can't get that level of control.
@@chrispurkiss1491 In this video I believe Darrell primarily used his right mouse button to pan around the cockpit, as well as the arrows on the keyboard to translate the view left/right/up/down. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to quickly jump to pre-saved views. Wishing you a great time in the sim course!
I find my gauges etc. move about all over the place when using the mouse which is frustrating to say the least. Also how to I move the trim wheel does this need to be set in controls? I have the TB Velocity One Yoke etc. and it has a trim wheel control but not working at the moment, probable need to look at controls and perhaps FSUIPC and Spadnext.
Hi again. Still having issues with the A/T Arm not holding. Looking at the video again it is armed when the video starts is it possible to give me the actions taken up to arming the A/T so I can work my way through please. Thanks
Hi Chris, sorry about the trouble. Please don't hesitate to contact us here (flightsimcoach.com/contact) and we can discuss options to get you further help.
@@FlightSimCoach Pleased to say I seem to have resolved the A/T issue but have no idea how. I think it may have been something to do with starting from cold/dark. I am now able to practice your fight tutorial. A the moment I have been concentrating on take off and getting level flight at 6000 feet. I am going to venture into the Autoland next but need to go through the tutorial a few times first. Out of interest are you using some sort of Track IR for your cabin views, you see to be able to move about quite smoothly and freely.
Wind can be obtained from the METAR/ATIS for the destination. Correct, the landing altitude is listed on the airport charts. Here's one place you could obtain that info (there are many others too): www.fltplan.com/airport.cgi?EGGD
Hi HK, if you want to reference the FMS Setup Checklist shown in the video, here it is pasted below: FMS Setup Checklist -------------------------------------------------- RTE Page: Input departure and arrival airports + departure runway (27L) DEP/ARR page: Select ILS runway 27 LEGS page: Move CF27 to top row, then ACTIVATE and EXEC INIT REF. Cost index 6. RSV 2.5 kg. Double click ZFW. CRZ ALT 6000. N1 LIMIT: Leave default TAKEOFF: Flaps 5. Double click CG. Set trim to the corresponding setting. Click V speeds.
Yes. Go into the FMC and under PMDG setup I think its called if it says cold and dark just select the button to the right and change the option. There are several like approach and so on. As for the runway start the flight from the runway.

That's awesome to hear! Congrats and you're welcome! 👍

Happy to hear the flight went well! Keep at it and you will continue to gain confidence to venture off on your own. 👍

Nice to see you are back well explained
Thanks Gov, glad you enjoyed it!
A FEW NUMBERS CAME UP DIFFERENT SUCH AS TRIM WAS 5.28 INSTEAD IF YOUR 6.2, BUT IT ALL WORKED OUT.

I frickin love you bro
Brilliant beginners guide just what I needed thanks 🙏
You're welcome!
Great tutorial. Just a thought on using the reversers. They really don't have to be used on a dry runway with autobrake set and spoilers up as long as you have plenty on runway left.
They mainly used for spitting out birds i was told.
I am pretty sure they are sometimes used to save brake wear or exit the runway as fast as possible if it it a busy airport.
Looks very interesting and concise, can't wait to have a go. Out of interest how are you able to move around the controls etc. with such steadiness
Hi Chris, thanks for your feedback! The aircraft is on autopilot from shortly after takeoff all the way through touchdown. Wishing you luck!

Great video thanks brother 👍🏼
You're welcome!
Fantastic, thank you!
You're welcome!
Nice one be handy if you put the 737 version in the title.
man flying planes is super involved
nice
Hi, Good explanation, however the ATC always tell me to go around and I cannot land it doesn't let me , I cant find out what I have missed?
You make it look easy! 😎 Thanks, great vid!
Làm sao bạn có thể quay trim hay vậy.. chỉ giúp tôi với.. tôi chỉ quay Trim chỉ số được 4.10 là tối đa.. cảm ơn bạn
Can anyone help me when I takeoff I put my autopilot on and put flaps to 0 but it won’t follow the flight plan vnav and lnav won’t work please help

How do you know the wind, and the landing altitude? Do you have to search up charts and such?

Thank you. Please, where can I find the FMS checklist?
Hi HK, if you want to reference the FMS Setup Checklist shown in the video, here it is pasted below:
FMS Setup Checklist
--------------------------------------------------
RTE Page: Input departure and arrival airports + departure runway (27L)
DEP/ARR page: Select ILS runway 27
LEGS page: Move CF27 to top row, then ACTIVATE and EXEC
INIT REF. Cost index 6. RSV 2.5 kg. Double click ZFW. CRZ ALT 6000.
N1 LIMIT: Leave default
TAKEOFF: Flaps 5. Double click CG. Set trim to the corresponding setting. Click V speeds.
Thank you
What does the course do and how do I know what to set it to
I have a Question I’m in the 737-800 and the trim won’t turn. Any idea what’s up?
turn off assists in settings
CMD A turns CMD B off and CMD B turns off CMD A...
Any reason why?
My A/P deactivates at about 200feet..
You need to select Approach Mode before selecting the second CMD button on the MCP
@@Taylair Yes i know, I have the ILS recievers set to ILS, have APP on, and course and hgd has the correct heading set, and it still does not work
@@Taylair *when on an ILS approach
So the pmdg stuff can start engines running on the runway??
Yes. Go into the FMC and under PMDG setup I think its called if it says cold and dark just select the button to the right and change the option. There are several like approach and so on. As for the runway start the flight from the runway.
Thought it was easy
