Helped me with aerosoft and PMDG, TYSM
As always...your videos are the best to help us new flyers become more acquainted with how to fly these beautiful planes. Thank you so much!
You're welcome, I'm glad the videos are easy enough to understand for new flyers!
Note: some airports don't allow use of APU until 5 minutes prior to gate departure. Its ok to just use ground power and ground cooling. I normally turn on APU when there are 20 or so passengers left to board.
Thank you very much for making such a good and instructive tutorial available. This is even helping me to get familiarized with the Normal Procedures of the Jet Training Course
Very specifically explaned , thank you
Very helpful video indeed. Great job. Thanks a ton
I don't know how to thank you. Great job! thanks a lot
I REALLY DO APPRECIATE! IT HELPS SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED.
Another great video, Keep it up!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Good Day Doofer 911. as always yours tutorials are excellent. I've learned a lot . but I need info which app you use to input the checklist. I made one using sticky notes but Id really like one to use inside the PMDG or the kneeboard. Thank you very much for your help....best regards
Geia sou Doofer!!!The video was amazing I loved it keep up the greeaat work and we will meet again on another live stream!!!: )
Geia sou kai efcharisto poli, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and yes, as soon as I get a better internet connection sorted I'll be live streaming again!
Doofer911 Yeey I cant waot to see you again mate haha!!!☺

How do you get that pre-flight checklist to come up on the screen? Is that part of PMDG I'm missing?
You can't, it's just a graphical overlay I've added in as part of the video's edit.
Not related to the video but I have a question? Why do airplanes use odd number flight levels when going east but even number flight levels going west?
Basically so they don't crash into each other! All aircraft need to be separated by a minimum of 1,000ft vertically so by having aircraft flying at even and odd flight levels depending on the general direction they're flying, then that ensures that there's always that 1,000ft vertical separation.
it is like real life?
You should have more subscribers!
Well if you feel like these videos are worth watching, you could help me out by sharing this video and my name around on all the flight sim places on the internet, help get my name out there :)
I will,
Hi，I got a question, when you started the APU Why you put the main tank pump on? Should we put the center pump on?
Left Center Fuel Pump would avoid a fuel imbalance so :) that's recommended
The APU takes fuel out of the left wing tank, not the center tank. The APU has it's own fuel pump but it's relatively small compared to the main fuel pumps. So to reduce stress on the smaller pump, pilots can turn on the left main pump to help push fuel through to the APU to reduce the wear on it's own fuel pump.
Using the Left Center pump primes the engine feed manifold, which supplies fuel to the APU. By turning it on, it helps the APU turn on faster by pressurizing the fuel line all the way to the APU firewall valve. That way the APU pump doesn't have to "suck" the fuel which can be 40ft away.
I'm in the 737 course...is there not a REAL 737 flows video out there?
Different operators teach slightly different flows to their flight crews. The flows and procedures in my videos have been altered to make it as easy as possible for a simmer at home to fly the plane themselves. Real flight crews have a second pilot to share workload with.
I have no artificial horizon showing? I've been following the tutorial from ep 1
Have you aligned the IRS systems?
@@Doofer911 Affirm, no worries i got it working, I changed the Aircraft FS setting in the FMCU whilst doing the setup so im assuming that messed with it
Woooooooow!!
I guess you enjoyed it? lol
why not you become a real pilot? its your passion bro!!!
I can't afford it sadly.
Save up. You can do it, you clearly have the passion for it. From a real pilot.
Amazing video.. Thanks
17:40 ,, wx radar should be ON before departure
Weather Radar comes on during the Taxi according to the documentation.
19:00 I died xD
Oops, maybe you should have checked it after all! :O
:-)
Can't afford the pmdg 737........ only bought 1 add on....... aerosoft Airbus x
It is an expensive aircraft but it's one of the best available.
Thank you sir. Downgrading from the A320 to the B737 in my company now......what a pain. Your videos helps so much than being bored to death staring at my NPSP and Fcom
It's like someone walked into a workshop, grabbed a bunch of switches and dials, dipped them in glue and through them at the overhead panel.
