PMDG 777 Tutorial: How to fly an ILS approach
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2015
- Welcome to this PMDG 777 ILS tutorial, or how to fly an ILS approach with the PMDG 777 in FSX.
We fly the ILS approach runway 31R at New York Kennedy Airport (KJFK) with the PMDG 777-300ER (the tutorial applies to all 777 variants). Great approach to fly with view of Manhattan in the background....As real as it gets.
We also introduce the concept of CDA (continuous descent approach).
FSiPanel is used to position the aircraft on the approach.
Weather CAVOK, wind calm, Altimeter 2992.

I love you videos! I am new subscriber and i have to to say, the pace if perfect: not too fast, but fast enough not to be boring for people who know what is going on. All other channels are either too slow, too much bla bla. After watching hundreds of other PMDG videos, im certain your channel is one of the very best out there. Thanks a lot for your effort.
+Maxito Fontaine Thank you very much for your kind comment, I appreciate it. I am glad you like the videos and the channel and find them entertaining and informative. I invite you to have a look around the channel for more videos. Have fun!
I don't know why but i find listening to your voice very therapeutic... Thanks for the great 777 guides, they have helped a lot.
+Max de Sousa No worries, I am glad you found them useful.
Thank you. very helpful !!!
+J Van Camp You are welcome!
Dude that was pretty cool
+Swang I am glad you like it. Thanks.
thank you. you are very helpful
+Daohan Lim You are welcome!
Thank you so much. I always had difficulties on ils landing until I watched this video. Very well done
+Hesbon Omanjo You are welcome, I am glad you find the video useful. Thank you.
Do you plan to do a similar video for 747-400 Queen of the skies II?
+Hesbon Omanjo Maybe, I am still considering it, I don't have it yet.
Phenomenal video! Explained everything great, works in msfs as well!
Hi thanks for tuning in and glad you enjoyed the video.
The base sim does not really matter at the end of the day, it is the same aircraft😄
nice approaching. Thanks!
Thanks
thanks for this so much
You are welcome, I am glad you found the video useful.
thx soo much. this is very helpful. I'm also comforted by the fact that you are a real 777 pilot. great vid
+Pahul Vlogs You are welcome, I am happy to help. Have a look around the channel for more videos.
i will and you just earned a subscriber!
+Pahul Vlogs Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Welcome to the channel!
very helpful thanks
You are welcome.
What a smooth landing.
+Osjcag Infinite Flight Well... sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't ;-) LOL
4:40 "as you can see, it is fairly simple" Right, got it, piece of cake. That is all that I needed, now I can fly one. Thanks.
😉All good isn't it?
@@CaptainNav All Greek to me. Too many buttons and switches. The most complicated plane I have flown was a T33. I really admire somebody who can even get these new ones off the ground and better yet back on the ground with the wheels going in the right direction. My hat's off to you. Good instruction, I was fascinated.
It is my job, I'd better know how to do it 😃👍
Superb!
+maroonarcher Thanks, I hope you like the video. There are many more videos on the channel, I invite you to have a look around.
Fantástic 👍
Thanks
Nice Video Capt. Nav....Keep It Up You Have an extra subscriber here😉

Thank you.
+Zayad Abushamka You are welcome.😉
Awesome
Fantastique !
Merci👍
Great video as always! I have two questions. Firstly, I've read somewhere that CAT III and CAT II use Radio and CAT I approaches use Barometric minima so I want to know if that's correct and secondly I wanted to ask that where do we put glideplath angle (in this case 3.0°)
Correct for the various ILS approaches. The glideslope angle cannot be set, it is as per the design of the procedure.
Very professional, voice and accent cool...
+Carl Knight Thank you, I am glad you like the video. I invite you to have a look around the channel, plenty of sim videos to watch and enjoy :-)
most probably French?
+Marius Grobbelaar Close enough ;-)
Thumps up!!
Thanks man!
Hey +Captain Nav hope you're doing well
I have a doubt about how to disengage the autopilot because when I do it (with the AP disengage bar or the Z key) the alarm activates and on the display it shows "Autopilot Disc". Can you tell me please how to properly disengage the autopilot?
Thanks man, have a nice day
Don't disengage the autopilot with the disengage bar. Instead, press the disengage switch on the control column twice to stop the alarm
Very nice video!
+FSiPanel Thank you very much, I am glad you like it😄
+FSiPanel Thanks for the wonderful tool you are making available to us, JP. Hopefully for the 747 v3 as well soon.
Glad you like and use FSiPanel, giving clear instructions to the simmers!
747 v3 (PMDG Queen of the skies II) is already integrated in FSiPanel for both FSX & P3D !
hey, Captain thank you for your help I have landed safely, but I am unable to turn off the ILS frequency for a reason what should i do ?
Really good video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for tuning in👍
I love your accent 😍
15:52 "Stow the reverrssêrres" xD
Great video man! One quick question, where do you input your course and frequency? I saw you doing it in the FMC but I didn't really understand it.
+Sr Brunovsky The ILS course and frequency are set automatically when you select it in the FMC. Otherwise, you can set it manually in the NAV RAD page of the FMC. Glad you like the video!
nice video and good information... 😘😘😘
You are welcome!👍
well done
+Michael Wilson-Mason No worries!
Good morning thank you for a brilliant tutorial. Do you normally fly with the level change function un the descent? Regards
Thank you. Initially, I would use VNAV and follow the descent path (VNAV PTH) as it is the most efficient, above all if there are level/altitude restrictions in the descent. Then, under radar vectors on the approach, a mix of level change and vertical speed usually does the trick.
@@CaptainNav Thks for the prompt reply. I have never used the FL CH option always the desc @ around 1900' pm @ 270 Kts :)
I actually never use the Vnav option. PS must have some control over the a/c lol
Have a great weekend ;)
super nice 👍
+Hdjjd Vvggh Thank you, glad you like it.
question, when flying the 777 flight sim, I can use auto pilot heading
select and heading hold but How do I able to manually steer plane but
keep auto pilot controlling altitude and auto throttle. I try to
press "HOLD" on and off but still can't steer plane manually. Only fix
was to go into Options and pick a keyboard shortcut to turn Heading Hold
on and off. That worked but seems like it should be easy on the MCU or
in Cockpit
Hi...yes you can change the heading by turning the heading knob to the desired heading.
I suggest you either fly manually or with the autopilot totally engaged.
Flying with Altitude Hold and turning the aircraft manually is not really correct.
Enjoy👍
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot to understand and work the ILS approaches!!😀😀😃
You are welcome👍
I'm here because my first flight ended with me flying directly over the destination airport. I caught the localizer but missed the g/s - - - I will apply these principals to my next flight.
Thank you for popping in and dropping a comment. I am glad you found the video useful. There are many more videos on the channel. Enjoy👍
Hey great vid, just one question: where do you find your charts. Thanks.
+Sam Messervy A quick Google search will give you loads of options, most for free, a few with a fee.
Great Video again! learn something new everyday. Question as a newbie to 777 & its autopilot. I'm used to flying smaller GA twin bonanzas & once localizer is caught I hit approach and Glide Slope captures next, I only adjust my throttle because it doesn't have autothrottle etc. But why do we need to auto set "Vertical Speed" to capture Glide Slope & not let autopilot simply catch the 3 degree Glideo Slope to runway? I did try it and on my 777-200er once I clicked "Approach" it nose dived on me & didn't recover until at 200ft. Any ideas would be great- Thanks!
Hi thanks for your message. To be honest I am not sure why your aircraft nose dived like that.
If you are in level flight at the platform altitude and intercept the glideslope it should never nose dive, above all if you already have the gear extended and flaps 20.
Hey nice Video really enjoy it, I have a problem, if I want to turn off AP it just don’t turns off. I press the AP button but nothing happens. The only way to turn it off is to press the yoke until it turns off automatically. The problem is that it is not correct and unstabilizes the approach. For example on the a320neo you can press AP button and it’s off. Why does it not work?
Hey, thank you for the comment. To disengage the autopilot you need to press the AP disengage button twice. Give it a go.
Nice video!!! I'm pretty new on PMDG 777 and im on FSX now.
My question is, after a long flight and approaching my T/D (Top of Descend), how do i programmed the ILS? Because the ILS replaces all of the waypoint and have separate set of waypoint from my original flight plan. When i should activate and execute ILS from my T/D point.
Another thing is, can i use the LNAV and the VNAV to guide me to correct speed, heading and altitude until the very end when localizer & G/S being captured and activate APP button after that.
Hi. You need to set both the STAR and the ILS, everything should generally link together.
Then LNA/VNAV can take you to a point on the ILS when you can engage APP and fly the ILS.
I have a lot of flight videos on the channel where I show the descent/approach FMC set up, have a look around👍
I''ve been researching charts and tried to find the correct answer before I posted here. At 1:13 in your video you show your chart. Mine look identical.
The part of the chart I want to focus on is the bottom where 31R is listed with the category of the ILS.
I am looking at KSFO ILS 28L and 28R in the same section.
ILS 28L has CAT 1 listed twice with two different minimums. I don't understand why this is. Same goes for 28R where it was CAT 3b, CAT 2, CAT 1, and LOCO listed with all of its minimums.
So the confusion is this. For example 28R has three different categories of ILS. 3b, 2, and 1. If the chart says 3b does that mean i can always expect to be able to autoland but i could choose to do a cat 2, or 1 approach if I wish?
+XBOXORANGEJUICE Yes, that is correct. If it shows Cat IIIB, then you can autoland. With Cat I, you can't autoland. However, you don't have to autoland everytime. You would autoland only when required.
Hi. I have managed it to land on RW34R in Roma. Thank you, Fonopal
+Fonopal Fonopal Cool, I am glad you managed to land it. Success!😀
The buttons on the autopilot panel are a pain in VC miss the 2 D for such settings , switching views can cause the sim to crash .
Nowadays most aircraft addons feature a "virtual cockpit" in which you can move around using either the default sim views or a camera software like Chaseplane or EZDok. Something we all need to get used to. If the sim crashes there might be a problem with the sim.
Hi captain, do you have A/T ON when you are on final until you are on the ground? I have PMDG 777 only 2 weeks and I discovered the A/T has a different logic as NGX. Do you work with thrust levers manually during final? Or do you leave this job on aircraft itself?
+Přemek Janša At least in the airline I work for, we keep the A/T on all the way to touchdown and using the reversers. Other airlines might do it differently, but I think that keeping the A/T on is a Boeing recommendation.
Hello! I have a question.. when I push the A/P disconnect button in the A/P panel, how can I stop the sound of the autopilot disconnected? Thanks!
The best way to disconnect the autopilot is to press the A/P disconnect button on the control column and press it twice to stop the warning.
Hi, I tried arming LOC first, and then when I lined up with runway before G/S, I armed APP but nothing happened. What could be the reason? thanks.
+B K I am not sure...Is the ILS tuned and idented?
LAND 3 FLARE ROLLOUT!!
Magic...
Do you have any tutorials for setting flaps etc.? I'm unfamiliar with FMC and tablets as I normally like to just get in the cockpit and go! I can't lower my flaps and when I try and take off from (say) London Heathrow, I barely reach 150knts and run out of runway!!!!
To fly an aircraft like the 777, you need to become familiar with the FMC, etc...
If you takeoff (with at least flap 5) and just make it airborne, you probably don't have enough power or you are way too heavy.
I understand your desire to just fly, but you do need a minimum of a set up to get this bird up in the air.
Have a look around the channel, hopefully you can find a useful video.
Hi Captain Nav, please can you tell me what addon are you using for "frozen position" at the start of your video ? (I see "Your Control, hit and hold your brakes...") - I've never seen this message for both FSX / Prepar3D - Thanks in advance.
+Dominique Camus It is called FSiPanel, it allows you to position the aircraft where you want on the approach.
Thanks Sir, very interessing for approaches training. I'll take a look about it, hope it's Prepar3D v4 compatible (edit: for now indicates P3D v3). but going to my "ToBuy checklist". Greetings from Chartres (LFOR), France.
+Dominique Camus Yes, FSiPanel is very good to practise. I am sure it will be compatible soon (if not already).😉
Thanks ! I've sent a message on his Facebook (Messenger) last morning, and he've replied couple of hours later. FSiPanel is coming soon for P3D v4 (he're working on it). But for me, this (fantastic) too is, unfortunately, a bit expensive ($45) - I'm unemployed, BTW not rich - I hope for a promo (or coupon) on of these days. Flight sim is an expensive hobby. :-)
Do you have to enter any ils frequency on the pmdg 777, to get to land into that runway?
No you just need to select the approach in the FMC and it will tune the ILS ftequency automatically.
@@CaptainNav I was looking for 30 minutes thinking it would be like 737 hahaha
@@nightbot8526 you can put in a spesific freq if you want from the fmc
Hi Captain Nav. I would like to land at LIRF airport RW 34R so far I have not managed to hit the approach signals l/r as well as up/down.How do I set up the FMC? Many thanks for your help, Fonopal
+Fonopal Fonopal I invite you to watch the video again, it is all in the video😀
Hello Captain, I got some issues to understand work principle of LOC/APP. First, Is that mandatory to switch LOC first and APP second? (Because they say LOCs' range is more than G/Ss' and that's why it captured first or it depends on aerodrome instrument approach chart? You just omitted LOC & pressed APP and some how lt captured both horizontal and verilcal guidance. This is what I'm struggling to understand.
+Cənab Dərin Məntiq You are absolutely right, you should switch LOC first, then APP. However, to keep things simple, you can select APP straight away, above all here in a desktop simulation.
The ILS has two components: the localiser, which offers lateral guidance, and the glideslope, which gives you vertical guidance. In any case, you should capture the localiser first, and then the glideslope. APP mode is usually designed to work that way, anyway.
Loc will only track the localiser, APP will track BOTH the localiser and the glideslope.
+Captain Nav thanks for quick response. I will try it again and again until I succeed :)
+Cənab Dərin Məntiq Take it easy and have fun
+Captain Nav after following the approach charts perfectly all went right. Thanx a lot :)
+Cənab Dərin Məntiq Excellent!
Hello hello !
Me again !Interesting to see that you need to fully configure the aircraft to meet the 160 to 4 miles restriction at many major airports. Easier to get down to final app speed I guess...
My question for you is, do you always aim to be F15 and at F15 speed on the G/S at a normal/heavy GW ? Because I sometimes get a 15-20Nm final and even with F15 it's almost impossible to decelerate and I find ~170kts a bit slow when at 15Nm.
F20 maybe ? No speedbrakes beyond F5 correct ?
Any tips ?
Real world 737 driver there, but still have an interest for flight simming and the 777 as a hobby :)
Merci d'avance !
+Sam7x If you are heavier than 220 tonnes, to fly 160 to 4, you will need to go below flap 20 speed, so you kind of need to configure flap 30 early. Ideally, you need to be stablised by 1000 feet, so waiting 4 miles or 1200 feet to go flaps 30 and decelerate and then get the thrust back on is not going to work. A heavy 777 will not slow down and go down, so ideally, yes, you would aim for at least F5, or better F15 to intercept the glideslope. On those long final where you intercept the G/S at 5000 feet, you don't have a choice, you need to slown down to 180 max to fly the glideslope. You can use the gear and/or flap 20 if you want, or the speedbrakes (although I have always considered using the speedbrakes when on the G/S is a lack of energy management). If you have a low platform altitude and a long final, then it makes it easier to keep the speed up, manage the energy and also achieve a CDA in the process....
That answers my questions, thanks very much ! Do you mind if I share your page on a few flight simming groups on FB ?
+Sam7x I don't mind at all, please share the channel. Thank you, merci!
+Sam7x Very successful "sharing", thank you.
Also 1 more question... Where did you get the ILS Chart
+Kyriakos Panaou Charts are usually available from countries' AIP websites.... for example, you can do a google search for UK AIP....
So basically "ils app" and "autoland" has same procedure right?? (Except the 25 flaps in autoland)???
Yes that's correct it is pretty much the same thing.
I wish you would have continued and shown how the autoland works.
There is an autoland tutorial on the channel too...😉
At 15:48 - you have callout one thousand two hundred meters remaining. I have this callout in feet, how do I switch it to metres?
Go to the RAAS settings in the sim menu and it can be changed to metres.
I follow your steps but my approach takes me to a looping thing that i cant exit of
That's called a holding pattern. To exit, got to the legs page on your FMC and the waypoint under the waypoint that is in purple. Click it and replace it with the purple waypoint. Make sure lnav and vnav are armed. Your aircraft will then automatically proceed with the original route. Hope this helps

Travelman 101
Hi , how can i turn of a/p disengage sound ? it doesn’t turn off
You need ro press the disengage button twice! Once is not enough....😉
What is the difference between the FMC on the left and right ?
+Beyond The Stars No difference at all, they are exactly the same.
Can i ask a qastion? How can i make autopilot hold glideslope? It captures glideslope route, but wont hold it. Idk whats wrong. And sorry for english, if something wrong. Thanks.
Alexander, your English is fine. If you arm the APP (approach) mode, the localiser LOC and Glideslope GS should follow the ILS all the way down to the runway. You need to make sure the autopilot is engaged too.
Initially, both modes will show white on the FMA, and when captured, will turn green. Have a look at the video again and you will see what I mean.
Captain Nav ok, i get it, thank you
hi I have a question. where do you get the Baro alt from
+Th3LuckyG0at3 The altitude set in the baro minimums is found on the ILS chart, I think I explaon that in the video. If you mean the altimeter setting, you got the QNH from ATC or from the ATIS (weather report radio broadcast). Hope this helps.
heyy captain nav so i got a question and it has been doing it since i bought the 777-200 and i think its a bug or what not and when i disengage auto pilot it makes that auto disengage sound and i try like double clicking the disengage button but it never works and it does that sound until i turn off the plane..
It is strange because double clicking the disengage button on the control collumn should stop the alert sound
+Amadeus are you clicking the disengage button on the yoke?
FilipGH_ no but the one on the center console
+Amadeus Dont click the one on the center console. you have to click the one on the yoke. there is a small button thats on yoke. it is labeled "disengage" press it once, the warning sounds, press it again, then the warning goes off.
Amadeus They put the disengage button on the yoke so they dont have to reach to the ecam to disengage the autopilot. instead, they can just double click it on the yoke, then the pilots are flying the 777
hi thanks for the fantastic videos ..learned a ton...one question..what am i doing wrong when i have everything set for fmc to land..and if i dont touch anything..the t7 will overfly the airport? when do i know to manually star the descent? the last two flts i flew i had to manually start the descent..rgds from canada ken
Thank you for the nice comment.
Generally speaking, when the FMC is set for the approach, you should have a t/d (top of descent) indication in your FMC and also on the Navigation Display. Do you have such a thing?👍
@@CaptainNav hi thanks for the reply...yes i fly the pmdg 777/200 lr somettimes i see it and sometimes it is not there..i just did a flt yyc yvr and i was 6 miles out from yvr and it kept flying straight i had the autopilot on and it did not go down .how do i know when to manually land and know when the autoland will work...should it start down at 6 miles 7 miles or what
really appreciate all your videos thanks for any help rgds
I believe an autopilot tutorial would be amazing. After a while of messing with the aircraft in different configurations you learn how to 'handle' it with the systems. Though sometimes I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if the plane acts like it is suppose to under the circumstances.
For example I have been flying back and forth between KSFO and KSEA using Simbrief to plan the flight. I learned a lot about the weights, the fuel, reserves, and more from your videos and researching on my own time.
However, this question is about the autopilot. After takeoff how long do you manually fly the aircraft before turning it off?
Also once you're on LNAV and VNAV it will climb and follow your route perfectly. However I have had issues with it wanting to overspeed at certain times all by itself. I'll have to pay more attention to pinpoint when this happens.
Then on an LNAV/VNAV autopilot route the decent down through the waypoints is often botched horribly. If you don't use flight level change and manually control the decent you often are too high and quite often miss the expected altitudes on the decent through waypoints. Other times it works perfectly. I don't understand what makes it work perfect sometimes and other times it does not.
Just had success with the LNAV and VNAV from T/D down to where I needed to get vectors. I turn the altitude knob down to each altitude in the legs page and the plane responded properly. Also pushed in the altitude knob after I passed the proper waypoint. Maybe i was forgetting to do that part.
+XBOXORANGEJUICE Excellent!
+XBOXORANGEJUICE The autopilot can be engaged at 200 feet after take off and be kept on until after landing if you wish. VNAV can sometimes be tricky, but if all the waypoints in the legs page are sequenced correctly, then there should be no problems.
Hi thanks for this video. Does this PMDG 777 Sim replicate the same as the real airplane? Thank you!
Hey...thank you for the kind message.
It is a good representation of the aircraft, but it is not the aircraft or a level D simulator.
Hi sir, Thanks a lot for this video.
I have a couple of questions, Hope you will answer them. Thanks!
1) When is APP (Approach mode) armed exactly, during the landing phase? Is it done when the aircraft is on ILS intercept heading?
2) When is the landing gear selected down exactly? Does it depend on a specific distance from the runway?
3) By what altitude the aircraft has to be totally configured for landing?
Hey...so:
1) Yes on the intercept heading when cleared for the approach
2) Let's say 7 miles to the runway
3) 1000 feet
I hope this helps. Cheers👍
@@CaptainNav Thanks a lot sir! These details really help in adding more realism to flight simming.
You are welcome...I am glad you find it helpful, that's what the channel is about at the end of the day!
CAPITAIN PLZ GUIDE ME HOW TO DECENT THE AIRCRAFT WITH FMC
I just ordered this mighty beast and I hope to receive it tomorrow! I read you get RAAS as well.. Is this the copy of FS2CREW or is it made by PMDG itself?
+Collin M Yes, you do get the RAAS. I am not sure if it is fs2crew or PMDG, but it works well. Enjoy!
Alright! Thanks!
+Collin M You are welcome.
how to do vor interception in b777 pls suggest me. thanku
+Anukul Soni Unlike the 737, the 777 does not have a VOR tracking function in the autopilot. What you need to do is use TRK SEL to follow the VOR.
how do you do to fly with the plane straight and level at that speed? In my case if I want to fly while maintaining an altitude, the nose of the plane goes to 10 degrees or more
Meaning that your plane is not trimmed right, +3° to +5° would be a normal position
If your aircraft nose is too far up, it possibly means you are flying too slow for the given configuration/weight and the aircraft is trying to get as much lift as possible by raising the nose.
@@CaptainNav flaps would do the trick
Flaps would certainly help with low speed👍
The altitude hold switch will open and I cant switch it off
To switch off any autopilot mode, turn off the Flight Directors and turn them back on. It should reset everything...
My question is that even though I select the correct ILS approach and star but the descent gets delayed causing me to miss the approach, what am i doing wrong?
Hi,
Like always it is hard for me to answer such questions without seeing what's happening.
On a normal flight, try to set up the STAR and the ILS in the FMC when you are still far away from your destination. If you are cruising at FL350, then set a 35(0)×3 +15 = 120nm ring based on the airport not to miss the top of descent and have everything set up. Then follow the descent all the way to the published altitude to start the ILS approach.
@@CaptainNav Ok thanks !
Hi how do you update your planes?
U buy them
hi, thanks for this super video..
Could you please help me to use HDG button..
I can make the plane folowinh waypoints, or holding a heading by pushing HOLD
but i did not find how to make the plane gonig to selected heading.. thanks in advance, ..
Hi to use Heading Select you need to press the heading knob itself...
@@CaptainNav hi, it does not work, the only way to stop LNAV on AP is to press HRG HOLD. pressing HEADING KNOB makes nothing.. why ? do I need to be in a special configuration ?
It should work. Press the middle of the knob. I have so many videos where I use HDG SEL....
My 777 don't descent when open the aproach mode. Can you help me??
Not sure, mate, could be lots of things... first thing that springs to mind, is the ILS tuned and idented?
Can the aircraft flare and touchdown by its self or are you required to disengage the autopilot before touchdown?
Yes, the aircraft can flare and touchdown by itself, it is called an autoland and you can land in very thick fog (75 metres visibility) that way. This would be a Cat IIIB approach with no Decision Height. I might do a quick video on this topic, we'll see.
OK. That would be very helpful. Thanks.
HI, how do you know it is the rober arrival?
It's pre determined using flight planners. In actual, it is given by the atc. Go to simbrief.com and check out how to flight plan for fsx and other simulators

+DiStOxX Pas de soucis!
Where do you get your charts from? Also great video!
+TwentyØneChemicalFalløuts!AtTheDiscø The charts I am using are LIDO Charts and can be accessed on Navigraph (although I understand they gonna change to Jep). Otherwise, you can get charts through the various national AIP websites or on the VATSIM locall vACC's websites.
Pilotnav.com is a great, free resource...but really is only good for US airports....sporadic for anywhere else.
Hi captain how do you increase or decrease quickly and set the minima altitude ? Thanks by advance.
There is an option in the FMC to make it realistic or faster.
@@CaptainNav and what is your préférence ?
For the simulator, faster. It is too slow otherwise😅👍
@@CaptainNav 👍👍
In the aircraft, it is even faster😉
What joystick are you using?
+농부 An old Microsoft Sidewinder... Still working!
hey man, a great video! im trying to learn what baro does cuz i dont use it... is it important? whats the difference from radio? depends the weather?
Thanks for the nice comment.
Baro or radio is used to set the minima for the approach, so that you get the automatic call "minimums". Baro is for a cat1 ILS or other non precision approaches, radio for cat 2 and cat 3 approaches. Hope this helps.... do not hesitate to ask more questions if you want.
I’m kinda confused, do I leave my aircraft on lnav? Rnav? But great video though!
And one more thing haha where do you find your charts?
For an ILS approach you need to engage the APP mode by pressing the APP button on the Mode Control Panel.
Some charts are available online for free, others with a subscription fee. You can do a google search or visit sites like VATSIM, I am sure there are links to charts there...👍
Captain Nav So during the approach I’ll turn on the app? So when I’m doing the fmc programming I’ll leave my plane on hdg right? Sorry I’m just sort of a noob at this. And while I’m descending do I use V/S
You only engage APP when on a heading to intercept the ILS. You can stay in LNAV when programming the FMC in the cruise. VNAV is possibly better to descend.
When I do a star, the ILS isn't in the NAVRAD. Any reason why?
As long as the STAR is followed by an ILS in the FMC, I think the ILS frequency and course should be visible on the NAVRAD page...
I have manually put it in. It doesn't bother me too much
What is that green line passing 200?
+Dane Jones It is the baro minimums line, it shows that you are passing the minima for the approach.
You sound Scottish and French 🤔 thank you lots it helped me out
Thanks. I am glad the video was useful👍
Hey buddy
A little problem.
When i do loc and app after that
From somewhere terrain warning
Comes up..
Is there something wrong with my landing
Strange, when on the ILS it should not give you a terrain warning.
First of all thanks for reply
But i don’t know man
FMC OK.
Loc arm
App arm
But @600ft starts warning
What is your flap setting for landing?
Captain Nav speed 155 flaps full
Auto break 2
Baro 400
Min 200
Baro depends on the airport. 400 is typically to low. Check your have the correct baro setting for the destination airport.
What are the addons you are using ?
For a list of the addons, I invite you to have a look at my Twitch page and simulator information. Thanks.
Where are you from? You accent is perfect!
I think he's from France, plus he has good skills ( he's a real 777 pilot ).
as french i can confirm he is from france, i can recognize french accent by thousands xD
@@turkipooh If he's a real 777 pilot, why is he wasting time playing fsx when he can fly in real one?
Have a good one.
@@tomtomm6129 maybe he's not wasting his time but teaching the other real life 777 procedure in sim, as you said have good one.
Flightz your logic is terribly flawed. With your logic pilots fly 24/7 and don’t have time to spend with families and with your logic pilots don’t need to sharpen their flying skills and with your logic they take empty 777s for practice flights. I love how you say ‘have a good one’ like you made a valid point. The airline gives the requirements on how many hours a pilot needs to fly and they have schedule, he’s giving a tutorial to people.
I set the minimums correctly (for example baro 200). I still don't get any callouts on final. Any idea why?
Hi...
It is hard to say without seeing what's going on. Are there any options disabled, sound volume lowered, etc....?
No everything looks fine. I even get the ground proximity callouts (50, 40, 30, 20, 10). But idk why the approach callouts are not given. Any option that I have to enable or change? @@CaptainNav
In the options, make sure the "minimums" call is enabled. Are you setting the minimums on the captain or FO side?
@@CaptainNav omg it worked. Thank you soo muchhh
Fantastic!
Hi do you know why the approach button wouldn’t turn on?
Hi...my first thought is: do you have an ILS approach selected in the FMC?
@@CaptainNav yes I did
Do you get the correct ILS ident or code, and do you see the localiser and glideslope pointers?
hai cap 😘 after i landed use ILS the APP button still green its normal ? and diomond ILS its still on screen its normal ?
Yes it is normal. If you want the APP button not be green anymore, switch off the flight directors.
@@CaptainNav i am make it and have done like u said cap... thankssss
@@CaptainNav ur very helpfull cap tq tq tq
how do you know rober 1 can lead you there?
+Christian Natividad It is on the chart😉
My Questions
1.Where did this flight take off from ?
2.Am i doing it wrong if i have LNAV and VNAV on during the entire course of flight ?
3.How did you do the entire gross weight calculation stuff ?
4.Where you flying as per your own wish or by sids and stars in the right order ?
5.I set up sids and stars and runway on the fmc on the ground,is that the correct sequence ?
6.What add ons did you have during this video ?
Sorry for all the questions :/
+Mohammad Adil The flight did not take off at all, I use fsipanel to position the aircraft on the approach. You can have lnav and vnav all the time, but you won't fly an ils if lnav and vnav are engaged. To calculate your approach speed or vref (if I understand your question), you add the predicted arrival fuel to the zero fuel weight. Normally, you would fly using Sids and Stars, and you would set them up on the ground, yes. No many add ons for the video, if I remember properly, just a demo of a JFK scenery, that is it.
Thanks for the speedy response,if you dont mind i have few mire questions.
I tried a flight from Doha Int'l to Abu Dhabi Int'l.As soon as i take off i have my LNAV and VNAV set.The flight climbs as per FMC.But MY problem is it wont DESCEND as per FMC.Would the L/VNAV help in autoland ? Subbed amd liked sir
+Mohammad Adil Do you reset the altitude to a lower altitude?
+Captain Nav yes,when it says reset MCP altitude.But ut doesnt descend.Should click on the knob ?
+Mohammad Adil I am not sure why it does not descend.... if you are at the top of descent, and you set a lower altitude, then it should descend.
Hello.. this is nice video, but i have question, i have pmdg 777 300, and i've press the "app" to perfom autoland, but my plane dont want decent automaticaly ? I have try the autoland 10000 timesss but why my plane not going autolandd... please helpp :(
Yudha Saputra I'm having same problem as you are
+Yudha Saputra Is the ILS for the approach you want to fly set correctly? Are there any autopilot failures enabled in your sim?
no, i have set all, like approach, ils, fix data and other correctly, and i've press "app" button, my plane still not decent :(
+Yudha Saputra Hmmm... It is hard to tell without seeing what is happening. If everything is set the way it should be, then there might be another problem. Get in touch with PMDG support.
Hello captain, now i can fix the problem, and get a great land ! thanks for your respon, but the way, are you real pilot ? :D
where does it say the rober arrival on the ils chart??
ROBER 1 is on the arrival (STAR) chart.
Captain Nav where is that located😅😅
@@CaptainNav i cant seem to find rober1 on the chart?
It is now the ROBER 2 arrival. Definitely part of the STARs charts.
Captain Nav I can only see the trans star but not Rober 2
Will all the things you do on your channel work with 777s that aren't PMDG?
+Dominick Krahnstoever For Boeing aircraft, PMDG is the best solution, I think. I also use the Aerosoft A319/320.
But if I want to get something for free/cheap what should I get?
+Dominick Krahnstoever I believe you can find add-ons on the AVSIM library or on Flightsim, for example...
Oh, I thought the PMDG were all sold through precisionmanuals.com where it cost $90. Thank you so much! This saved me time and money!
+Dominick Krahnstoever The PMDG aircraft are NOT available on the websites I quoted. The only place to get them are indeed on the PMDG website.
a/p disconnected at the end.
first time i could understand how a/c is landed manualy with a/p engaged and LNAV VNAV DISCONNECTED
I am a little bit confused.... You are talking about a manual landing with the autopilot engaged.✈👍
@@CaptainNav Sir I did not understand that you programmed FMC but you dint connect it by simply keeping LNAV VNAV on MCP disengaged you were manualy selecting heading and altitude .could it have been possible to autoland the A/C simply keeping LNAV VNAV engaged A/P engaged without your intervention ? pl. explain.
To do an autoland, you need to fly an ILS approach and engage the APP mode. LNAV and VNAV won't let you do an autoland.
Also watch detail and complete ILS landing Tutorial
+Shailesh Upadhyay Thank you.
