REAL BOEING PILOT | RNAV/GNSS Approach | ZIBO MOD 737 | X-Plane 11
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 кві 2018
- The ZIBO MOD for the default 737 in XP 11 gets better and better! Today we're flying into Blackpool (EGNH) in Version 3.25w of the MOD, we're holding just to the South of the airfield as we prepare for an RNAV/GNSS Approach into the UK’s favourite seaside resort!
Join me in the hold at TIPOD as we prepare and brief RNAV RW28 using real world operating procedures and fly the approach using VNAV.
The Approach is flown live time and live weather. This allows me to show you real guidance on how we fly certain approaches using a variety of techniques. The only change I made in this tutorial was to switch the wind 180 degrees so RW28 would be in use!
As we fly the approach I will explain exactly what I’m doing as I show all the actions completed by both PF and PM whilst simultaneously flying the aircraft.
Any questions feel free to ask!
===========================================================================
All guidance in my tutorials are based on real world operating procedures, I have almost 4000 hours on the 737-800 (The real one) and I'm also a full-time Instructor working in a full motion Level D simulator.
The aim of this channel is to provide realistic, informative and useful information to help you enhance your flight simulation experience by following me apply real world procedures

Never regret my decision to migrate over from Fsx to xplane. Loving it
Same here! Worth it soooo much!
Thanks Captain - I've been struggling with non-ILS approaches. I'll give it another go now that I understand it better.
Really superb video. I appreciate you taking the time to produce these videos. To the point, packed full of information, can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks a lot ExPatAviatior! Comments like this mean a lot!
FD2S
I love the zibo mod and absolutely love your tutorials. Brilliant many thanks
last! great to see you back and love the intro!
Flew a poor RNAV approach last night - your video explains well what I did wrong. Thanks for making this!
Sir! Your videos are incredibly informational and entertaining! Thank you very much. Subscribed.
Thanks a lot Meatball546
FD2S
Another great video. Thanks!
Fantastic videos. Really appreciate your help to the flightsim community. Looking forward to the Ultimate 737 for X Plane 11. But I can't complain, I already fly the awesome 732 and 733!😉
After seeing this comment I really want to see him fly the FJS 732, I think it would be really interesting :)
Thanks a lot FUN!
I'll be sticking with just the ZIBO MOD for now, I might try some other aircraft in the future but I barely have the time to make tutorials and test ZIBO's 737!
FD2S
I love these vids cause I'm try a learn to fly and they help me alot
This was so helpful, had so much trouble flying into Nice with a RNAV and Visual Approach with prescribed track??? But this did help so much :D
great video indeed, explains a lot , the why and hows are perfect !
Thanks a lot patrick!
FD2S
Thank you very much F2S. 24 minutes learning, pleasure. Have a nice day....
Thanks G L!
FD2S
Wowowwo That looks soo realistic !!
Thanks for another excellent and informative video F2S
You're welcome flyhalf2!
FD2S
Thanks for this videos! This is an amazing preparation for exam in Virtual Airline, thanks a lot! :D
Thank you Filip!
FD2S
Hello Captain, thank u for ur great job, I really love ur way n teaching , waiting for more approach tutorials , u r my 737 instructor.
have a geat day
Thanks knight of the dark! More Tutorials to come!
FD2S
It was pretty smooth landing sir and V/S appeared to be around -200fpm once the mains settled.
Outstanding! Your "verbose" commentary is most welcome and helpful. Cheers!
I try to pack in as much information as I can!
FD2S
Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
You help me a lot to getting deeper in the b737NG systems.
You're most welcome Martin,
FD2S
Absolutely brilliant video. I've subscribed and you have helped me loads with this particular video. Thanks sir.
No problem and welcome!
FD2S
This is incredible. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome NeutralGenericUser!
FD2S
Many thanks eclipses the other Videos ..Cheers
Just discovered this channel. Great video. You have the voice of a young man (no offense) yet you have all that experience. Good stuff. Cheers.
Well most people have a stereotypical view of an Airline Pilot, I guess I break the mould (Late 20's, I instruct Captain's and F/O's twice my age how to fly a 737 and play video games in my spare time!?)
We're not all that boring!
FD2S
Awesome - thx for adding the Zibo mode to your teachings
You're most welcome Darryl, it's a fantastic MOD!
FD2S
Amazing tutorial. Lookin forward to seeing another video explaining flap settings for landings (e.g. 30/40 etc) Thanks a lot for your work, keep it up
mcdonaldc1989 wrong. They can be used for gear up landing, high GW landing, short runway landing, overweight landing, low friction coefficient on a short runway etc. that’s why I’m asking for such a tutorial, because in this one he used flaps 40 to land ;)
It’s not rare to see 40 landings..
Some flight sim users say about how strict they are about 40 setting in 737 “except in emergencies” Wrong!
As far as I know it there is a good reason for it, you can use it.
Since you need more thrust you will end up using bit more fuel. But again, (as Boeing specifies 40 as normal landing flap config) as long as there’s a reason for it, you don’t have to hesitate using it :)
Could be wet runway, short runway, etc.
ua-cam.com/video/tR3WPao92gg/v-deo.html
(I’m not irl pilot so I’m not sure either haha. I’d like a word from fd2s too!)
Thanks a lot!
I'll cover the topic in the future, yes most landings F30 but F40 is useful on short runways, contaminated runways etc.
FD2S
An excellent tutorial; just what I needed. Some information about using the 'ALT INV' switch would be appreciated.
Try an RNAV approach to RWY30 at KBZN or RWY34 at CYLW when you need to practice!
Hi yet again packed with information A+++++
Thanks a lot Steve!
FD2S
Great videos. Thanks for doing them
You're most welcome Erich
FD2S
Great video, very helpful!
Thanks Afca 020!
FD2S
fgantastic , going to have to watch a few times!
Thank you and I hope you will learn something new!
FD2S
Ezcellent as always! 👍
Thank you CAVOK!
FD2S
Thank you again for the great vid! May you show some high speed landing procedures, speeds, descent ratios and so forth on an upcoming video?
Hi ARI,
A lot of other requested videos planned, I do have a High Energy Approach Tutorial you might find interesting!
ua-cam.com/video/5KiRK1ugHRY/v-deo.html
FD2S
Thank you!
Great vid dude, I'm on a binge right now. I need someone like you to teach me!! Have you got any communities or tutorials that come to mind? As I'm sure you can figure out, I am very new to flight :) sims!
Great as always!
Can you please prepare the next video about flare techniques? To explain properly where to look, how exactly to close the thrust levers, what's pitch should we have in different condition and how to reduce the vertical speed properly for good landing. Explain some typical mistakes like flaring too early etc.
I would be very appreciated, I've stuck with it a lot :)
I don’t know if you’ve sen this bvitaliyg1
ua-cam.com/video/6qnriMfIbEE/v-deo.html
It’s the landing technique for a 737 👍🏼
FD2S
The quality is amazing.
Just default XP11 and the ZIBO MOD 👍🏼
FD2S
Amazing vid!
Thanks Wesley Snipez haha!
FD2S
You just got another sub great job and thank you good sir
Thank you Jacque Smit and welcome!
FD2S
Also maybe buy XPRealistic it will add a lot of noises and movements such as engine vibrations, touchdown effect, roll anticipating and more!
Great video as always with lots of good info and I for one am not just happy to see you using the Zibo mod but even more happy your first video featuring it was what made me switch to XP11 from P3D and the NGX. I find it unlikely I will go back - wouldn't want to be without the flight model found in the Zibo.
One question which might have been answered already in another video. If this would have been in cold weather, would you then have left anti ice ON (including the engine start switches) until you arrive at the gate? Or would they go off when vacating the runway?
Hi Richard, thanks again and 100% agreed (although you will still the NGX occasionally!)
EAI on Approaching stand in Icing Conditions
FD2S
Thanks as always 🙂
A follow up since I just realized you said EAI. What about WAI?
@ wai is used when actual ice builds up on the aircraft.
I've just moved over to XPlane having watched many of your PMDG tutorials and I'm really struggling with XPlane, it's so much more difficult - I suspect that's because it's more realistic! Ran out of runway at EGGW tonight... will re-watch this as many times as it takes haha
Great videos and they're useful to a lot of us, it seems. Quick question: you mentored you disabled autobrakes at touchdown, but the dial is still turned to 3. Is it as simple as tapping the toe breaks to disengage the autobrake or is there a keystroke i should set up? Additionally, what is the relevance of the 80kt callout? Thank you, and keep it up!
Thank you very much
really enjoyed watching, ..I'm still getting aquainted with the plane. I've been practicing some RNAV approaches with no published speed constraints. When I manually enter speeds into the FMC the VNAV doesn't seem to comply. This is during the approach segment. Will VNAV still follow the glide path using speed intervention to reduce approach airspeed? Also, can the Zibo do INA approaches using APP mode for RNAV approaches? thanks, a lot to sort out!
Super video... thanks. What is the little green arc that moves in and out in range on the nav display ?
that is the point where you will reach the selected altitude
Hi:-) i was missing you videos!!! Great tutorial again! Thank you very much.
Any chance to have a pdf with the checklist that you use in real life?
I think many people would appreciate that!
Really looking forward for the next one!
Great channel.
Best!
Hi momix2000.
As much as I love too I don't own and cannot share the checklist we use, I'm just completing the flows and completing the checklist in my tutorials.
Sorry for that, thanks for your understanding.
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Hi:-) thanks for the reply. No problem I totally understand. I was just curious:-) I will write it down from your great videos! Looking forward for the next one!!!:-)
Hi, it’s still not really clear to me when I can set the missed approach altitude. I know you said “at the top of this white bar” but what is that, does it capture something at that moment? Does it activate some kind of landing phase? Thanks.
Great as always Captain! One question, in real world non-precision approaches, which guidance function is the preferred method to capture the final descent altitudes, the vertical speed adjustment wheel on the MCP or FMC VNAV? It feels as though using the V/S gives you that extra sense of control vs relying solely on the VNAV. Take care!
Hi Massimo!
VNAV everyday as it is extremely accurate and reliable and will not put you below the correct height, it is in essence a virtual glide path.
V/S, although you directly control and can be used, is solely based on altitude distance cross checks to ensure you are at the correct height each nm. We do occasionally fly V/S approaches, usually when there is no approach coded in the FMC and with certain approaches VNAV can't be used due to terrain!
FD2S
I use this video ,thank y
I missed you
👍
Thanks for this video once more, great content! Watched this again today and did an RNAV to EDDN 10 successfully. But I, like you, ended off center by quite some margin. Is this a Zibo problem? The A320 I have does it exactly on the spot.
Hi FlyingPauls,
I'm not sure, certain approaches don't exactly align you with the runway but most RNAV approaches do, it could be the way it's coded in the FMC, I've mostly had successful approaches in the MOD but the occasional NPA hasn't exactly aligned. I'll mention it to ZIBO.
FD2S
Hey Cap!
How would you describe the handling (airborne) of the 737 in xplane compared to P3D and real life? Is is comparable?
thanks in advance , nice video as alwaysXD
LeUsto sss try it without artificial stability mode on
you mean on the 737 in xplane? i only got the pmdg for P3D
LeUsto sss yes xplane, fly xplane for your own safety 😜
Hi LeUsto sss
Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX!
ua-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/v-deo.html
Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim.
FD2S
Thank you sir, just got a jaw dropping moment, saw you did not use APP on approach, which most certain is why all my RNAV end in missed approach.. So thank you
You're most welcome Tom,
You can arm APP using a sytem called IAN (Integrated Approach Navigation), our fleet are not fitted with this option and I've I know very little about it!
I believe in this case the PFD will annunciate G/P (glide path) instead of G/S (glide slope) after arming APP. Flying IAN requires proper equipment and approval and allows you to use the LPV minimums on the chart which Blackpool doesn't have so you have to use LNAV and VNAV or V/S
FD2S
Well I had almost a perfect RNAV-Z into ENAL today using 3_256 latest, unluckily it did not seem that the bird wanted to fly it correct, approach looked somewhat un-aligned which also may be because of the 25 knots headwind that came just of the side (050/25 for 06). I had to disconnect above minimum just to take control, if not I most certainly have landed on the parking space LOL.. Anyway, when it came to G/S, I asked you a question in the forum, guess you see it next time you visit. All in all, learning a great deal from your videos, keep em coming.. PS.. Love that the FIX rings are finally in place, and the excellent ACARS..
Cool, I'll take a look. Incredibly busy Tom and I try and look at the forum most days but balancing work, play, testing, making tutorials and replying to all comments and messages on YT, FB, Twitter and Insta takes time!
FD2S
Fully understand, no rush at all.. Just wanted to know why there is an option for G/S in the FMS when selecting RNAV approach. What does it do? It has ON/OFF, but I do not know why Glide Slope is optional since the airplane is following the GPS..
Not too sure! It’s not fitted to our fleet, I think it gives guidance from the FMS to provide a virtual LOC and G/P. I think I selected it on when I flew the RNAV Approach in this tutorial so I would get the NPS scales.
FD2S
Dear Captain, thanks for the video (a little late but now I wanted to learn about the gnss app ;p), found it very useful. I never thought it was this easy, you just have to follow the charts as gnss app and follow the fmc.
If possible I would like to ask you if gnss and visual are the same?
And if RNAV and RNT are the same because I have recently heard about it on the LMML ATIS report and went searching about it but still was in doubt, (you can never fully wikipedia XD.. Always trust fd2sim!)
Thanks again Captain and Happy flying!
Hi Samuel,
LNAV/VNAV are just roll and pitch modes the aircraft use to fly guidance programmed in the FMC. It's used in all phases of flight and can be used to fly an approach in the FMC, the FMC is still able to generate curved lines and radius to fix tracks and is extremely accurate, We use it to fly RNAV, VOR, NPA and Visual approaches at my outfit and can be just as accurate as an ILS!
FD2S
Hi FD2S, Nice video again as always. Learning a lot in short time which also leads to another (spam) question (sorry). Often see on RNAV approaches different plates using different letters. I.e. LOWI RWY 8 having RNAV Y (GNSS) and RNAV Z (RNP). Now i see that they have different fixes and hights. For Y using MDA 7100' (so BARO min) and Z DH(A) 2900' (RA min). Although I think that i know that the difference is clear... as the first is I guess MSL+ Elevation + Minimum, and the second is minimum above runway by Radio altimeter. Is that the right assumption? And...what to use when?? Many thanks again.
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated. Just noticed that the Zibo wasn't flying the hold very accurately. It's swaying to and fro as it corrects after each turn - almost as if it overflies the turn, and has to turn back to get back on course. Have you noticed it ?
Hi Pieter,
Yes it was struggling a little but it was good enough and you'll be pleased to know ZIBO is already tweaking and fixing!
FD2S
Great video again. 04:10 Flying an MDA is it always a matter of adding 40 ft to the minimum or where does the number 40 comes from? 15:17 Sholudnt NH28I be called NH28K?
Hi Nikolaj
Adding 40ft to an MDA ensures if we GA we never actually get below.
Yes I'd expect the WPT to match the FMC but this isn't always the case.
FD2S
Amazing video. Also, I kept thinking you said tide pod lel
I've flown over it several times and I've heard it been called "TEEpod, TIEpod, TIDEpod"
I'm still not sure of the correct pronunciation!
FD2S
flightdeck2sim very interesting
There is a command line option -accurate_runways in X-Plane that moves default scenery runways to correct location that should match your nav data. The airport may look a bit broken but the runways should always be in the correct spot. Just a little tip if you ever had bigger issues with runway positions :)
Thanks a lot for that info! I have noticed I'm not always aligned with the runway when flying NPA's.
FD2S
Hello FD2S!
Another great tutorial, and yes i am learning something when I watch your videos!
I can not comment on runways in the UK, but here in China many approaches are not aligned in real life as well as in the sim... Just realized recently that the database for magnetic Variation was just updated a little under two years ago (worldwide). Here at my home airport in Shanghai (ZSSS) the approaches are off by about 2 degrees and this matches the change in variation published just recently.
My guess is that the Chinese CAAC decided to keep the original published procedures provided they are within accuracy tolerances rather than re-aling hundreds of Localizer Antennas....
Once I realized the above I am much more tolerant of the mag variation errors that seem apparant in the sim, as they reflect real life in some cases :)
Cheers, and keep up the excellent tutorials!
Thanks Tim, your expertise and experience is greatly appreciated!
Interesting to hear, all NPA's I've flown using LNAV have always suitably placed the aircraft on the extended centerline (Europe only!) and offset approach have placed the aircraft at the suitable MAPt to then disconnect and position manually.
Hope flying in China is treating you well!
FD2S
Thanks for the reply FD2S!
When I have the time, I have been modeling one of the significant airports here in China that does not have more than a generic runway in XPlane (ZSHC).
As part of that, to do accurate modeling, I downloaded the AIP for this airport published by CAAC (Amended Sep 2017).
Though the worldwide database of mag variation has been updated (10 year cycle), the Chinese AIP for this airport still shows 4E Variation, whereas the worldwide data says 6+ degrees... My guess is that at least for this area, it explains why there is a disparity in the sim (at least for China).
Cheers!
Great video as always F2S! Thanks for the info! I have two questions:
1. After landing, can you vacate on an inactive cross runway if it can save time or make the taxi easier?
2. Also, what is the difference between the categories B, C and D for the minimums on the charts? I know that aircraft like the A320 and the B73 series use C.
Hi Alex, thanks!
1. Very airport specific but we'll plan to vacate at an exit to minimize taxi time, usually no problem to cross or use an inactive runway.
2. Aircraft Category is based on speed over the threshold (VAT) For CAT C it's from 121-140kts
Good Luck!
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Thanks!
Good evening, apologies if this has been asked. How do you get your flight deck view zoomed out the way you have it? When I enter the Zibo 737 it feels like i am sitting inches away from the windshield. Mouse wheel scroll does not work. Thank you so much for these videos, they're a perfect companion to an amazing airplane.
Hi Leonard.
In the XP11 settings change your field of view (FOV)
Good Luck and thanks for your kind words!
FD2S
You should do a cold and dark startup tutorial with the zibo moded 737
Hi Scaricia!
It's been requested A LOT! I will make one using the ZIBO MOD at some point.
Although I'm yet to make a dedicated cold and dark tutorial I do have some setups in my full flight tutorial playlist, please refer to Part 1 of my other Full Flight Tutorials for guidance on how to setup using the NGX

Hey great vid!!!
Search FlyWithLua Complete edition and put that in plugins folder, delete every file in the scripts file, then search for Cockpit shadow fix and download that, and place the .lua in the scripts file and you’ll get nice shadows and no jagged shadows :)
Thanks for the tip! At the moment I don't like to mess around too much so I don't mess things up!
FD2S
Bonjour de France. Beaucoup d'explications très utiles même si je ne comprends pas l'anglais. Si j'ai bien compris, à 1000 ft tu es en configuration de landing (speed, flaps, speed brakes, autobrake). A quel moment coupes tu le pilote automatique ? Et si je comprends, à 30 ft tu mets les gaz en IDLE.
Really love the videos...on this one some numbers appeared in the Mach IAS window once you were touched down...a flashing number 8 and 165....is it a bug? Thanks again.
Hi Peter, thanks a lot! The flashing "8" occurs due to something called "overspeed limiting" and should not have appeared then and was a bug. It has since been fixed with the latest update.
FD2S
Great video. Could you also select APP when stable at the FAP and let the autopilot fly it down to minimums?
You can arm APP using a system called IAN (Integrated Approach Navigation), our fleet are not fitted with this option and I know very little about it!
I believe in this case the PFD will annunciate G/P (glide path) instead of G/S (glide slope) after arming APP. Flying IAN requires proper equipment and approval and allows you to use the LPV minimums on the chart which Blackpool doesn't have so you have to use LNAV and VNAV or V/S, either way you can still let the A/P fly you to minimums
FD2S
flightdeck2sim so confirm I need NOT arm the App mode while on rnav appr
Excellent video, it seems real, what requirements do I need on my PC to make it look so real? Thank you very much, regards!
Hi Sergio, it's hard to believe this is just XP11 and the ZIBO MOD, nothing else!
I'm not a computer expert but I invested in a good PC to ensure good FPS. The specs are in the video description below!
FD2S
Hey man i love your videos I just have a question. How would you compare how realistic the pmdg 737 is to real life? Im planning on buying the PMDG.
Hi Saravanan.M
Take a look at my first ZIBO MOD full tutorial at the top pinned comment. Here you will see my thoughts comparing both FSX/P3D and XP 11 and the ZIBO MOD and NGX to the real 737.
FD2S
Here to learn how to land my 738 in xplane mobile. Sure its not as advanced, but landing it without a bounce or slamming it into the ground has been the bane of many flights.
Hi...thks for wonderful video...jst a question can we hold in PPO.. present position in this update.? Cos the zibo i have in which i am not able to hold in present position..
Hi SAR 156, haven't used it yet!

WHY didn't I mention this instead of the Pleasure Beach!?!?
FD2S
Thanks again FD2S. Would you mind just clarifying a couple of things for me please? I noticed that there are a couple of IAF's on the chart, presimumably for approached from different directions. Think I have got that but how do you identify the FAF? I know it was NH28F but how is it identified as I did not see a reference to it on the chart. Might be me though! Also, why does an extra flashing digit appear in the IAS window?
Thanks againg though.
regards
Gareth
If you look at the vertical profile on the chart (4:15), you will see the FAF marked with a "x"
X Marks the Spot!
FD2S
Greay
Nice! Can you push APP and fly the RNAV like an ILS on the Zibo?..thanks
Was wondering this too for the NGXu
I've tried de rnav/gnss on Corfu, it's not aligned with the center line. How would one fly, to ensure straight approach?
Hi Flightdeck2sim do you recommend any checklists to use when flying the PMDG 737? I've came across many but just don't know which one to use.
Hi Saravanan.M
I'm just following the flow and checklists for the operator I work for. There are plenty of checklist available at virtual airlines which follow the respective operators checklists
FD2S
Great video! I was wondering is it true that the pmdg is like "flying on rails". Iv'e only ever used x plane so was wondering if that's true
Hi enzo, thanks!
Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX!
ua-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/v-deo.html
Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim, FSX is good but it just doesn't compare
FD2S
Ok thanks!
Simply a remarkable job my friend! Such a pleasure to see a professional pilot utilize this incredible simulator. I do have one question if you could help me out I also fly this plane in X-Plane 11 with the mod. I am having a problem with the FMC in regard to having it auto calculate the V speeds from the takeoff page. People are saying that there is a bug in the system whereas the autothrottle will not arm unless the V speeds are calculated. People are saying that you have to set the outside temperature I've tried that to no avail for some reason they do not Auto calculate. I have flown the pmdg 737 add with FSX and it is a little bit different but the V speeds do auto calculate any help would be greatly appreciated I am pretty familiar with the FMC in the Boeing it has worked in other times but for some reason as of lately it is not working Perhaps it is a bug I'm not sure thank you in advance. Joe
Hi gemster, you should be able to engage the A/T without V Speeds, I've not tried in the ZIBO MOD without it so it could be a bug.
I apply my operators procedures to both aircraft and it works quite well, the NGX is obviously a complete product with pretty much every system working. ZIBO's MOD has pretty much a full FMC and more and more change and features are made all the time!
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Thank you.. it must be a bug.. cause mine isn't working.
Trying to get my head around how SPD INTV is supposed to work and noticed how you mention around 13:30 into the clip how opening the speed window normally would revert VNAV PTH into VNAV SPD. In the Zibo mod though, this doesn't seem to happen but it remains in VNAV PTH.
Any chance you could elaborate a bit on SPD INTV and how it's supposed to work and when/if selecting SPD INTV would also affect the VNAV mode?
Hi Richard.
VNAN will stay in VNAV PTH when you open the SPD window in certain situations, just like in this tutorial. This happens when flaps are extended, on a geometric path descent between two waypoints and when flying a vertical angle in the FMC (I don't think this is modelled in the ZIBO MOD yet)
If you don't meet this criteria the aircraft will engage in VNAV SPD which is very similar to LVL CHG, IDLE thrust is commanded and the aircraft pitches for a speed.
Hope this helps!
FD2S
Many thanks for confirming this!
Reason for the question is I was instructed by ATC the other day to slow down to 230 for traffic separation when I was at FL130 and doing about 270 knots and before reaching the first altitude constraint. Obviously at this speed, I was clean.
In this situation pressing SPD INTV should have changed VNAV PTH to VNAV SPD with the result of the aircraft pitching up to slow down to 230 - correct?
Correct! So long as you hadn’t met the requirements as mentioned above!
FD2S
Got it, thanks!
One more question and sorry for bugging you in here. At what point are the ENG BLEED as well as the HYD PUMPS switched ON/OFF on a normal flight?
I learned ENG BLEED usually stays ON pretty much all the time. As for the HYD PUMPS my understanding is you must be careful with these to ensure ground crew safety but also consider having hydraulic pressure for the parking brake when chocks are not in place?
Again, sorry for all questions but your answers and how you share your expertise is highly appreciated!
Engine Bleed stays on during normal operations, all Hydraulic Pumps on during the course of the day, final flight turn off the ELEC Hyd Pumps 👍🏼

Hi, I've been flying (and crashing) the 737 for a couple of months now. Specifically using the zibo 737. All you tube clips I have seen have appeared to teach at a level where a lot of information is expected to be already known. I have fumbled through and worked a lot out with help from other sim pilots that actually go through it with me on discord. This has been very helpful but there are so many basic knowledge gaps that I have. Example: what is the difference between heading and course? I try to use VNAV and LNAV but often the plane won't descend as the fmc is set to do and the speed is always too high. I end up using all of the other autopilot controls (level change, vertical speed, heading, etc) because the plane seems to be ignoring the fmc. I watched this video of yours as I thought it appeared to be your oldest video. Therefore, I was hoping there'd be a bit more of a basic tour around the cockpit and what everything does and how it all works together. Could you suggest a video that does this? BTW, I did still get a lot out of this video. I just know I am missing some of the very basic parts. Thanks!
Hi Tim,
Yes my tutorials are more tailored to the experienced user who has some basic knowledge of instrument flying. Don’t worry! We don’t just sit there using LNAV or VNAV, you often have to change modes in descent to get what’s desired. Practice makes perfect!

Hi, did you try PMDG NGX model? what do you think about flight dynamics?
Hi Raul, Yes I have used the NGX for several years.
Please refer to the pinned comment on my first XP11 ZIBO tutorial regarding my initial thoughts comparing the two simulators and the ZIBO MOD to the NGX

When you say "keep the aiming point the same in the windscreen" what did you mean by that?
Lesson 101 on how to land an aeroplane!!
It doesn't matter if you're in a Cessna 150 or a 747, the initial part of the approach to the threshold you must look at the aiming point (In this case abeam the PAPI's).
You keep the aiming point or visual reference in the same part of the windscreen. The aim is to fly the aircraft down to 50ft initially using PAPI guidance and then keeping the aiming point in the exact same part of the windscreen , if it starts moving up or down that means you're moving up and down and you're moving off the vertical profile.
Hope this makes sense!
FD2S
ahh! yeah that does make sense when you put it like that, i dont come from any flying background or have any real world experience experience im just self taught in the sim since fs2000 and iv always just relied on my instruments to see if im going too high or low
Very good! Make sure when you're visual you look outside!
FD2S
Hi, I watched one of your videos once but can’t remember which one I saw it from, how do you extend the runway line on the ND? I’m sure you did it in your videos but it would take me hours to watch all of them to find it. Thanks.
Hi FIREBLADE103
LEGS page, bring a WPT on final approach to LSK 1L, bottom right INTCPT COURSE, select and enter the final approach track and EXECUTE
Good luck!
FD2S
excellent thank you, i'll do that next time i go on xp!
Great video as always. Can you share your keyboard config ? I'm on FSX but always struggle to remember the keyboard button. Any tip ^^ ?
Hi Matthieu, I'm using just the default XP11 keyboard config.
FD2S
flightdeck2sim thanks !
What is the ADF used for? You input 318.
Great video! Nice channel ! 5ubscribed
Thanks a lot and welcome!

(xplane 11) When I disengage the autopilot (b737 zibo) because i decided to cancel the flight plan or right before the landing I don't have no control over the throttle (manually). When I move my yoke throttle the engine dont respond. Why do I need to do to recover the manually control over the throttle after disengage the A/T?.
Hi there!
The A/P and A/T are two different systems. Before landing you have to manually disconnect both the A/P and A/T and take manual control of both the aircraft and thrust.
FD2S
Hey mate, Zibo mod 737-800 is equipped with IAN system for highly accurate RNAV landings. By pressing APP you get FAC and G/P engaged on the PFD. A little similar to ILS landing but for an RNAV. I was expecting you to do that, not fly a visual !
Blackpool doesn't have that.You need aircraft certificated and lpv minima
Because he wanted to make a non precision approach tutorial. RNAV precision approach is an whole different thing.
Hi toxicdebts.
With regards to selecting APP I'm unfamiliar with this system, the airline I fly for do not have the system installed and I know very little about it! This is to fly using Integrated Approach Navigation (IAN)
I believe in this case the PFD will annunciate G/P (glide path) instead of G/S (glide slope) after arming APP. Flying IAN requires proper equipment and approval and allows you to use the LPV minimums on the chart.
FD2S
Yes I am aware. I have made several video landings using the RNAV IAN mode with Zibo Mod.
How about a LDA tutorial?
If that's too abstract, I appreciate any kind of videos you do :D
HalfmoonSZ Landing Distance Available tutorial???
I think he means Localizer-type Directional Aid approaches (offset/displaced localizer approach)
Hi HalfmoonSZ
The only acronym that we refer to using this is "Landing Distance Available" (which I have on the requested tutorial list)
Or would you like a LOC Approach Tutorial?
FD2S
Hey FD2S, I think LDA also officially refers to Localizer displaced approaches (LDA/DME app). For example, check out the navigraph charts for Tokyo Haneda LDA Z Rwy 22 approach. The localizer is just offset from the runway centreline, and aircraft turn to finals visually.
Ah! Looked online! I was aware of non aligned localiser approaches but not by that acronym, Ive not flown an LDA approach before. I think there are some in Europe, that would make a cool tutorial 👍🏼
FD2S
I know this may seem dumb though what is RNAV app exactly?
I always thought it is another way of saying visual
Thanks for responding
One of my first tutorials explaining what it's all about!

Can you make a video about emergency procedure?
Hi Yudha!
Although I primarily focus on Normal Procedures I am planning to look at some non-normal situations in the future.
FD2S
Based on your real 73NG experience, what are 'realistic' settings in the joystick settings of X-Plane? At this moment, my ZIBO feels too sensitive and like a Cessna.
Hi FS Steven,
It's a compromise, it really depends on what hardware you're using, I have just an old Logitech 3D Pro. It's just set to default 50% and the inputs I make are comparative to the inputs I'd make on the control column.
FD2S
flightdeck2sim oki, thx!
Is there any way to copy this speak to paper so very novice person can understand what the pilot is talking about.
Hi,
I know this is an old post but i was wondering if you could tell me you specs at this time :)
I find it curious that airlines use feet even outside the US
I'm using the Zibo mod in the current 3.25w version too but my Co-pilot FMC isn't working. In your video it does! Could you or someone else tell me please what I forgot to do that my 2nd FMC isn't working yet? Thank you!
I recommend the installation of the...
- AutoGate plugin (includes Marshaller): forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/5038-autogate-plugin/
- MisterX6 Library: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/28167-misterx-library-and-static-aircraft-extension/
Hi MrPatLo.
R FMS is not functioning, I just selected LEGS page as PM would have this on during most stages of flight.
For now I'm just sticking with XP11, the MOD and some basic tweaks. I'll check out the AUtoGate plugin nonetheless!
FD2S
How did u steer the plane on the ground?
Hi Finn Lei Thomczyk.
In real life with the tiller which is on the side
In the ZIBO MOD you need to assign yaw control to allow you to taxi with your Rudder 👍🏼
FD2S
16:50 does that happen often?
When you say that an actual pilot is testing any aircraft, these pilots have just discovered the flight simulator, and they have never heard of it. I will tell you all the pilots trained on FS1 FS 95 98 2000 FS 2004 FSX, X-PLANE not to confirm you they use it until our days for their flight. :D
Why does whenever i fly the 737 zibo the nose-wheel turns way too little?... i cant make proper turns.
Did u figure it out yet?
