What is it that's so awesome about cockpit sounds? When I was 16 got my first computer sound card in about 1984, the first sound I tried to reproduce was the sound of the gyros whining in my Dad's Cessna 172 I remembered from when I was about 8 years old. And yes, I did grow up to become a commercial pilot!
That's a take off config alarm. It will ring if flaps aren't set or if the trim is outside of the take off zone or if there is some other more unusual less typical misconfiguration. It activates when the thrust levers are set to target above 40% N1 with conditions mentioned.
Gotta admit, when I‘m outta school and then after pass flight school I‘ll be more the Airbus guy (in Germany it‘s also more used), but I still love to see these procedures no matter if Boeing or Airbus or any other planes. Great vid!
@@therelaxingwondersyeah from the cockpit look I can kinda agree, but for me personally airbus‘ overhead panel flow just makes more sense. You have these kinda columns and you just go from bottom to top checking everything is in perfect working order and also elec, fuel, etc are divided in the middle “column”. 737 for me personally is just switching from one side to the other, but everyone‘s got their liking
I absolutely love the lighting and switchgear in aircraft/spacecraft. I could sit in there and flip switches and turn knobs all day long and would never get bored. I'm a software engineer and get a lot of inspiration from the UI/UX of aircraft controls.
It ain’t that cool. I work on 737-800NG’s and the cockpit on a Max is nearly identical to a plane that’s been in production for nearly 30 years. Boeing was really lazy on designing the Max, tons of “copy and paste” so-to-speak to avoid having to re-certify the Max with a new type certificate. That cockpit has only changed about 5% since 1995.
Setting trust levers for take off (advancing) would allow the WX radar to automatically scan for wind shear even if engines are off or IRS is not aligned. Probably no need to advance the thrust levers to check take off config. warning. Nice vid though!
Very nice I have been absolutely flying the 737-900 on Microsoft flight simulator 2020 and it is absolutely the same as real life and I’m really glad I know how to fly it
he is just turning everything on. I work on 737's....we never do all of this nonsense as mechanics prior to departure. Power on, oil, hyd fluid levels, lights, oxygen....logbook....and out the door.
For some reason the Boeing's are just so much more majestic than any other aircraft. The switches, the sounds, the looks, i'd choose a Boeing over any Airbus.
many do in order to reduce the noise of the fan in the cockpit while on the ground, or reduce the airflow to the cockpit initially when the airplane is cold in the morning and the air is blowing cold at first. there is an issue in that its supposed to be on because the left recirc does increase airflow to the avionics for cooling on the ground so it shouldn't really be off.
I love that sound at 0:59 ... FINALLY A ASMR I like! Am a big fan of the boeing 737 Next GEN! And since the first time i heard this sound on the PMDG 737 in MSFS, i felt in love with the pre-startup 737 sound. Still, my favorite sound of the airplane is the fuel pump sound.
I don't understand You didn't start up the APU All you do is hit the battery switch which then it brings power to the cockpit That's provided from the GPU on jetway.
No you got it wrong. The GPU is connected to the aircraft when Their is no fuel to supply the plane with electrical power . The apu is only turned on when the aircraft is refueled because the apu needs fuel to work
@@andrewmorrison1543 well I'm well aware that the GPU is connected and the APU does not need to be run when refueling as long as it's connected to the GPU you can refuel with the APU off. And also the APU draws from the left tank
As a ground controller, may I ask you why the startup procedure of 737MAX takes longer than 737NG or other 737 series?(Normally about 3~5minutes longer) At busy airport this makes a huge difference on departure sequence:(
Absolutely! It is not just for the 737 Max, but also for the 320 &321 fitted with the CFM LEAP engine. Basically the longer startup time is because the engine has a "MOTORING" sequence. The CFM LEAP 1A and 1B engines are designed with a shaft that bends when the engine is shut down. So during the startup process, the engine is MOTORING for about 1-1,5 minutes until the shaft is straight, and then the startup continues. Usually the engine motors at around 21-23% N2 until the bending is gone. This bending of the shaft only happens when the engine has been started up, hence in the morning coming to a cold aircraft, the MOTORING sequence is at a minimum - usually 10-15 seconds. Hope this helped :-)
@@9milesup thanks for your kind words! It definitely helped me out for understanding the startup procedure! Next time I would clear the 737max or 321 neo series to push earlier than the schedule in order to prevent the further delay.
There is no set rule for this at my operator, except before engine start the TO Config warning should be tested twice, once with each thrust lever. Usually we test 1 of them during the cold and dark startup, and then the other and both during the before start checklist.
I have the PMDG 737-800 in flight simulator. Not for a second claim to be able to fly such an aircraft, but I've learnt a lot of the systems in use. I can fly the MSFS/PMDG model though. I'd be interested to know just how much more training is required for a PPL pilot to get a 737 rating. Quite a lot I imagine, especially fail situations. Cheers from Australia.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately as a PPL pilot, you are restricted to SEP and MEP airplanes. Though you are able to get a class rating on a turboprop, with further training required for the type in some cases. PPL are also limited to single pilot operation, which means you will need a commercial license in order to operate complex multipilot aircraft. That being said - with a PPL and a multi engine instrument rating, you will indeed have the possibility to buy training to fly a single engine jet like fx a Cessna Citation.
That depends solely on the lenght of the day.. For a 2 sector day, 3 hours each sector its quiet alright. But when we fly the longer trips, once needs to get up and stretch at some point. But the seats can be adjusted with hight and pressure adjustable lumbar support, you can raise and lower a support under your thighs, you can inclinde and decline the seatback, adjust the headrest, and non the least of couse adjust the height of the seat. Further more, when in cruise, we can easily adjust the rudder pedals all the way in, and that way make room to stretch our legs. Im 184cm tall, and can sit quiet comfortable. Experienced captains with many years on the Airbus, and later the Boeing actually state that the seat comfort of the 737 is much better than in the 320.
I stand corrected I assumed hydraulics never get switched on until pushback got completed but then again I am 100 percent flight sim and 0 percent irl lmao absolultely loved this asmr
@@dylancalheta6219 Maybe that’s their SOP. Ours is like in the video. We do it so the hyd system is pressurized when the walk around is conducted in order to check for leaks.
Not a pilot, but I'm pretty sure that turns all of the control panel's lights and any alarm lights on so the pilot can visually verify that it's working properly
2:04 I thought that the Emergency Gear release was closer to the Fire Squib release for the engine. I didn’t realize it was under a panel on the floor. Why did you stomp on it, were you making sure it was closed?
Exactly to make sure it is closed completely. If it isn’t, it will inhibit us to retract the gear. The reason why it is in the floor, is because under it, is 3 handles connected to a physical metal wire releasing each set of wheels
@@kland15 No, we do not have a RAT or the need for one in the 737. Planes who are equiipped with a RAT is usually fly-by-wire planes, like the Airbus, who cannot be controlled without power to the hydraulic system. The 737 flight control system is mechanically linked, but hydraulically assisted and actuated, meaning if hydraulics are lose, we still can control the plane through the cable to the yoke.
OK, all very nice and slick BUT a couple of points: It would be nice to know what all the switches and systems you are operating are and what checks you're doing before applying power etc? Also, what are you looking for behind the seats etc? I'm assuming checking the emergency egress rope is in case you can't escape by normal means in the event of a fire? Do Boeing not follow the normal aviation toggle-switch convention of "UP" for "ON"? Ex RAF aircraft technician here, so have a curiosity about such things This ASMR idea doesn't work for me as I've done similar so many times in the past.
behind the seats are where most of the circuit breakers are. He is checking basically everything....I work on 737's and we never do all of that at once prior to departure. Fluid levels, oxygen, lights, and logbook...the more you touch, the more you can break.
Interesting. So, in this version, 737MAX you also have to wait for the inertial to align, right? I thought Boeing would make it differently in the MAX. Nice video! 👍
Oh thiy is nice I have the ifly737 max8 on my flight simulator 2020 an this cold and dark to ready for taxi make I I do almost exactly the same thing, only that is above the aline switch, turn the rotary knob all the way to the right so that it says 8 minutes until everything has booted up, is that right or not quite right?
That is also correct. Turning it to status is just for information and has no operational use. We never do it, as from this stage there is plenty of time for the IRS to align anyway.
@@MartinEkh Same procedure on the NG at my operator. If we can confirm the bypass pin is installed, OR no towbar is connected, we turn on the hydraulic systems as part of the pre flight setup. This is done to ensure the systems are pressurized, in order to make it possible to see a hydraulic leak during the walk around, particularly when inspecting the main wheel well. Compare it to finding the leaking spot on a flat bicycle tire. That is pretty much impossible. Some airlines SOP’s are to only turn on the B pumps, in order to pressurize the flight controls, but to not have pressure to the nose wheel steering, in order to protect the ground crew when connecting the tow bar. But as said, at my operator, the tow bar is not allowed to be connected at all without visual confirmation of the bypass pin being installed. So we mitigate it a that way. Thanks for your question. I hope this cleared it up.
Does the airplane "feel" like it performs better after a cold start or a quick turn around at the gate? Or no difference? I just ask because my car "feels" great to drive after a long drive if that makes any sense at all.....and why I quote "feel" because I imagine a pilot may have a feel for a plane like a professional race car driver in say a race car.
No difference at all. To be honest, even a 20 year old 737 NG still flies and feels brand new. But we do also have great maintenance at my operator :-)
I acquired this skill in 2002 and have sustained it until today, all thanks to FS 2002. It was named after the 737, the Dreamfleet 737-400 thank you ;))
@@snake26r0 Its a bit too complicated to explain the entire electrics system here in a comment, but basically the battery is a DC backup source, which can power vital systems such as certain fireloops, standby instruments, CPT PFD ect. But the primary source of power is AC power, spplied by GPU or APU on ground, and engines in flight.
Ok Clear enough.thanks. but for starting the engines in this case, you start them with air from ground or do you start the apu? Are they started with something else than air?
@@snake26r0 Bleed Air from the APU as the normal procedure. In case of APU INOP, we can use pressurized air from a ground source to start 1 engine on stand, then do the pushback, and then use the crossbleed start procedure to start eng nr 2.
Great question. In the event of an emergency landing, we will always try to escape the airplane via the cockpit door, and then out of the front doors. But in some cases, if we fx are unable to open the flight deck door, we have to escape via the flight deck windows. To not fall the 2-3 meters down to the ground, we have the emergency escape rope we can deploy out of the window, and then slide to the ground.
There are multiple reasons. The first is company SOP. And the SOP is based upon that we need to hydraulic systems to be pressurized before completing our walkaround, in order to spot any hydraulic leaks in the wheel well during the walk around. Before turning the hydraulics on, we have made sure that no tow bar is connected, and that the airplane is safe, fx checking alternate flaps are guarded closed, flap lever is matching the indicated position, and no pressure is applied to the rudder pedals. When all of this is confirmed, we can turn the hydraulics on and complete our walkaround,

No, the APU has a mechanical suction pump that can feed the APU with fuel. But we usually put on 1 pump. Usually the aft left pump.
I acquired this skill in 2002 and have sustained it until today, all thanks to FS 2002. It was named after the 737, the Dreamfleet 737-400 thank you ;))
why am i so convinced he's just playing with the buttons 🗣🗣
Great video
Ryanair? By the red tags?
Pretty cool. Just a quick question, what is the longest flight you have ever flown?
this is very similar to how i start my 2018 corolla everyday
no apu start? Got power from ground? but I saw you connect the batteries ..or did I not see correctly?
Correct. DC from Battery, AC from Ground Power. :-)
@@9milesup and dc is used for what and ac for what?
@@snake26r0 Its a bit too complicated to explain the entire electrics system here in a comment, but basically the battery is a DC backup source, which can power vital systems such as certain fireloops, standby instruments, CPT PFD ect. But the primary source of power is AC power, spplied by GPU or APU on ground, and engines in flight.
Ok
Clear enough.thanks. but for starting the engines in this case, you start them with air from ground or do you start the apu? Are they started with something else than air?
@@snake26r0 Bleed Air from the APU as the normal procedure. In case of APU INOP, we can use pressurized air from a ground source to start 1 engine on stand, then do the pushback, and then use the crossbleed start procedure to start eng nr 2.
Surprised the flight crew didn’t write up the missing white cap on the APU GEN Switch.
@@AudioNaut93 it’s not a MEL or CDG item.
Quick question, is starting a 737 max different then starting a 737,8,9
No. Exactly the same
jeg elsker simpelthen din kanal :) bliv ved med det, jeg har lært meget

Ia this plane still in service today? Scary
A very great plane, that simply flies incredible. It will be in service for many many years to come.
Where do you unplug the secret door?
Haha. On a serious note - we don’t use plug-doors on our variants. We have normal Mid Exit Doors. ;-))
That plane have a lot of Controls nice job
What is the “emergency escape rope”?
Great question. In the event of an emergency landing, we will always try to escape the airplane via the cockpit door, and then out of the front doors. But in some cases, if we fx are unable to open the flight deck door, we have to escape via the flight deck windows. To not fall the 2-3 meters down to the ground, we have the emergency escape rope we can deploy out of the window, and then slide to the ground.
Awesome!
Jesus H Christ! How do you remember the sequence of all those switches/buttons/knobs???
Flow trainers
9milesup might mean this : /watch?v=G04YGUahe6o
Imagine u r the pilot and because it is asmr you feel asleep while doing pilot things😂😂😂
Where’s the button to release the door plug😂?
It’s not a button, but a FMC cheat code. Unfortunately we don’t have that feature, neither do we have plug doors. ;-))
What made you turn hydraulics on?
There are multiple reasons. The first is company SOP. And the SOP is based upon that we need to hydraulic systems to be pressurized before completing our walkaround, in order to spot any hydraulic leaks in the wheel well during the walk around. Before turning the hydraulics on, we have made sure that no tow bar is connected, and that the airplane is safe, fx checking alternate flaps are guarded closed, flap lever is matching the indicated position, and no pressure is applied to the rudder pedals. When all of this is confirmed, we can turn the hydraulics on and complete our walkaround,
@@9milesup nice! I work on the P8 in the Navy and it’s interesting to see how different operators start up the 737.
Thanks!
At no point did I see him pump the gas pedal three times before inserting the key but maybe it was done off camera and we just couldn't see that part
cool airplane
Hello, what is this job called?
Hi. This job is called Airline Pilot.
I could do this in my sleep! (we don't make it off the ground)
