Great tutorial! Something to keep in mind is that the flap limit is 20 if the landing gear is up. The gear is usually lowered at 2500' and flap 20 is set. Then once the gear is down (should say "down" in green text on the EICAS) set approach flap setting and reduce speed to VREF + 5. Also, once the glideslope is captured, the altitude should be set to the Missed Approach altitude. Keep it up!
@@ruhaan6216 Can you help me? I've got mfs2020 recently but...... Whenever I turn on AP, the plane specially the a320 doesn't follow the flight plan or that green line and it frustrates me a lot... So if you can help what I am doing wrong actually ???
You've taught me more in the two videos that I've seen of yours than the actual game taught me. GREAT content! You earned yourself another sub, brother.
Yes! Thanks to your vids Drawyah I successfully flew from Melbourne to Sydney real time and weather with an ILS auto land. Visibility was 100mtrs so I couldn’t see the runway until just before the flare. Now the world is my oyster! Also on Xbox and did it all with the controller, gotta wait for Xmas for my mouse and keyboard lol make it a lot easier
Really ? with an Autoland ! Doesn't Drawyah say right at the start that the 747-8 can't even do Vnav yet + can't follow the glide slope down on AP and this needs to be done manually ? am I missing something here lol
15:41 Another thing you can do to prevent the aircraft doing that sharp pullup is just engaging APP mode once the diamond hits the circle (above or below) closest to the middle
I'm strugging to even get the AP to keep this plane level (with VNAV turned off) using the alt and speed settings. Only airliner that is currently usable is the 787 which I don't have much trouble with
Kiyo Senpai You. Ay need to input your actual center of gravity, like in real 747s. This automatically will set your elevator trim to help keep a level flight.
Very good tutorial. Even though Salty fixes some VNAV stuff, it seems easier at times to just use the selected mode to manage VS and IAS. Thanks for the easy to understand and concise tutorial sir!
I did three almost perfect landings in this sim, was thinking, nothing to it - till on the fourth try I belly flopped it into the grass a thousand feet short of the runway. So yeah, for real world I guess I'll take one of them there high priced, fancy booked learned pilot guys whose score is a lot higher than 75 percent.
Great tutorial, the AP & APP are really bugged in this plane! When I try APP to capture the GS the plane follows the GS altitude for say 4 seconds then stays at the same altitude and have to control it manually, tired of this plane. The 787 is way better.
I'm a new aviation enthusiast and your video helped! I hope my first intercontinental flight with the 747, Dublin to JFK will land safely and successfully :)
Fantastic video. Watched it again (closely) after face-planting into Orlando to see what I did wrong. VERY informative. One question though, when setting up your landing variables, how does one know that when the MCDU says 260 knots that you should subtract 100 from it when factoring in your landing airspeed? Is that just a 747 thing?
@@Drawyah yeah its supposed to be a 160 kts landing speed while the 747 puts it at 260 which is ridiculous but an update is coming . Each plane has its landing speed !
Yep! Ideally you would have the approach you're expecting configured so that you have an accurate ToD, but as soon as ATC assigns you an approach, you can programme what they have given you.
Did 2 successfull flights in the 747 tonight 1h30 each didnt have a single problem the only thing I noticed was the Vs vertical speed you have to hit it 2 or 3 times before it works other than that not too bad there is missing features but not to bad
@@themetalicious7195 yeah AP in the 747 is very bugged. Sometime I need to disable AP and turn it back on, or double push every button - nav, fc, Vs, alt, whatever was on. Especially Vs and fc needs double bush to get activated. Really bugged.
you guys must have gotten a model built on a Friday. I haven't had any problems with my 747 (though I only started after the fourth update, so that might be it)
The thing that i noticed well in my case at least I'm so used to the pmdg 747 flight model in p3d the fs2020 for some reason seems really sluggish extremely sluggish so it might be me still having to get used to a more realistic flight model or it might be wrong could anyone let me know?.
Once Again a superb video. I could never switch back from Mach to Knots in any of the three airlines(787,747 and Neo). It always stayed in mach. What am I doing wrong? Is it in one of those settings? Thanks a lot.
GOD I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE I DID THE CHALLENGE TO CHANGI. Who was teh dev who decided the best way to set up the landing challenge with ILS was to leave the ILS unconfigured and not shown on the PFD? its 1/8th mi visibility.
Configuring the approach and letting the aircraft guide you in, it's a whole different experience as all you need to manage is the touchdown. JFK approach? Completed it m8. 😁
Hey can I ask how can you get the 747 to fly so straight all I get with it with LNAV enabled is it wallowing from side to side and it never stays on track....I am just asking I have even copied your way of flying it and it STILL wallows around never staying on track! also it has major trim issues too!
@@symol30872 Yeah I hope it gets fixed soon, I am planning on using it for the Frequent Flier Miles achievement and I am definitely NOT using the A320 for that.....
@@A5tr0101 I know that but still, when you have an aircraft that wont stay on course even in 0 KT wind you have to question yourself and the trim system is borked as well....the 747 is buggy and I have since reported it to Asobo for a patch....
So we should disable auto-throttle and auto pilot at around 1000 ft during an ILS approach? When I tried to use the auto pilot below 1000 ft, the plane took a big dive and fell way below the glide slope. I had to manually increase throttle and nose up to get back to the glide slope.
Thing is i pilotted the boeing for first time in mfs2020, got from timisoara to craiova in romania but crashed because i did my descent too late and fast!
Nice buddy. Subscribed. Question, how do you get the flight director to respond? My plane doesnt do anything when I make changes to speed, altitude, or anything else. First step is make the adjustments then engage autopilot. Then, while auto pilot is on, I should be able to make modifications for the plane to respond automatically like you showcased in the video. Am I missing anything? Another question, I cannot seem to have that waypoint to the airport on my instrument (the purple line). Is there something I need to do to have it? Thank you!
Mine catches the horizontal diamond but totally neglects the vertical one. When it is in the middle i click APP but it just stays on the same altitude. Doesn't happen with the airbus
That is a glitch. It was fixed in the update yesterday. I've flown thousands of ILS approaches in real life and it works the same every time. In FS2020 it only worked correctly for two weeks, then messed up, and then was fixed in the last patch update.
Great tutorial, nice to watch. Which version of FS you have I have much better spec on my pc but details looks better on your videos. I was just thinking if more expensive version gives you better graffic etc
Hey i got a question before landing my whole cockpit turned off like i couldn’t see anything everything was dark and bc of that I couldn’t land good can u help me??
@@Drawyah i know everything about takeoff approach and landing but I don't how to set the fms Anyways I'm going to buy a real 747-400 and refurbish it I have selected saudi airlines 16 year old aircraft (when retiring). Now 19. Year least used aircraft other junkyard aircraft are severely structural damage , .this is the the best .flight sv 789 ( on the fleet)
Drawyah, have you done a full flight video at all by chance where you go thru the flight route and there is either no SID or STAR in place on the route id, and you give an example of how to obtain then and know which one to use via ATC or whatever means?
I can't get it to slow down enough, I've even had the autopilot increase the throttle when it was already going too fast. It feels like I'm fighting against the autopilot.
@@Drawyah I did try that, but the auto throttle keeps accelerating. I did miss some of the things you put in the mcdu, I'll see if that fixes the issue. Thanks for the reply!
Weird never knew u had to run on the APU after landing. I landed the 747 the other day and as soon as I landed all the engine cut out. I had 10% fuel left so maybe that’s the cut off for the engine but I couldn’t restart them they would idle at 2.4 then die out
There is a gap between shutting off the engines and connecting to ground power as crew will not move when the engines are running. APU endures systems stay active during this gap.
Hi, when i press DEP/ARR button, it only shows departures airport, i can not clic on arrivals, it does not appear on the screen. How can i fix that? Thank you
Love your tutorials! I learned the hard way that VNAV doesn't work in msfs. However I haven't figured out how to fly direct/skip to a waypoint in the flight plan from a manually entered waypoint or a waypont in a SID/STAR.
VNAV works with some aircraft. I use VNAV for the TBM-930 all the time and it works fantastically. I wish it worked for the planes that could really use it though lol.
He said, I think, rule of thumb is that if you are at 250 KT and descending at 2000 ft/min you should expect to drop 30,000 feet in 80 miles. I find that starting a little further out from the final approach fix works better, perhaps 150 miles, as the 747 is usually (in real life) descended with a clean (i.e. no flaps) glide down with throttles near idle, and that takes me longer. I'm not a pilot just a trawler for this stuff through the internet. Happy to be corrected. Do real pilots use spoilers so much?
Nice video. Thanks. Anyway there is one question from me. Was the ILS frequency tuned automaticaly when he chosed the ILS 04 at FMC or how? I am used to fly B738 and the frequency must be tuned manually but here at B747 I can find only com radio.
First I turn on the LOC, the plane start align with the runway. When it aligned I and the glide slope indicator at the center I turn on APP so the LOC is off and it starts to have deviation with the runway, not align anymore. Why the LOC and APP can't be turn on at the same time ?
Hitting PEXEN at 10000B / 220, as shown in the STAR, would have prevented the need for the later/steeper descent and made it all "gentler" capturing the glide slope.
Hey Drawyah, I had a question in regards to landing ILS. I completely understand how to set it up, but when in tune in to ATC in game, it seems to completely mess it up. Is it possible if you can do one with the in game ATC? Or is the ATC just useless in the game and is better to not use it when using this approach?
The 747 is a difficult plane to land as unlike single-deck planes or the A380, you're sitting in the upper deck and therefore sitting above the nose, not inside it.
helpful vid. can you also explain how i must program an approach while i'm close to the airport? when i activate it the plane turns around to the waypoint i already passed. very anoying. with the a320n i can clear the route with programming a direct waypoint to the airport and then the runway. can find it in the 747. thanks and keep up the good work.
To fly direct in a Boeing aircraft, you need to be in the LEGS page. Select the waypoint you want to fly to, then 'paste' it at the top. This will replace all waypoints before it.
Does anyone know how to reverse throttle using a controller? On the TBM930 it goes into reverse if i keep decreasing throttle but on the 747 it just stays at idle.
Is this game broken i do what it asks and i fail lol take off hold a i do that and take yet still prompts me to hold a then when i land i have the landing gear out and i crash as it gives me a landing gear warning 😅
Make sure that your autothrottle is turned off, sounds like you've left it on to a certain speed, and so when you apply brakes it counters it with throttle!
My plane doesn’t seem to want to level out. It keeps bouncing in the air not allowing the plane to stay stable. I’ve tried using the HOLD button but nothing. It either plummets to the group or just bounces
Any idea of what could have happened on my first 747 landing approche? I told the plane to descend to FL20 and then past that it went really weird. Like putting in 100% trim up and going vertical stalling and then falling down going too fast. So shortly after I just disarmed everything and manually landed the plane on the runway which ended up in a really hard landing since it was the first one in an airliner in the first sim i play on the PC.. Can the AP get messed up if you do a lot of active pause? it seems like the plane is standing still but stuff like speed can chase despite the aircraft actually not moving
I am not a pilot, not and aviation student or professional of the area. I just find planes cool and I tried this game. I've been trying to land this airplane on Beijing for a few days and I simply can't. The biggest problem is the landing gear that never comes down. This is making me mad lol so mad that I need this tutorial video to help me.
Hello! Since I don't find a answer on my Question anywhere I need to ask this: After Autopilot, how do u change again to manual Speed/throttle? My Throttle is completly disabled after deactivating the Autopilot. I can't find the Problem.

as a new person to flight sims, can i just play the game with out doing all those turing nobs? i just want to fly around

Localiser only adjusts your heading. Approach mode manages both LOC + ALT.
Very helpful, thank you. how does this combine with a pre set IFR flight plan ?
Yep! So long you have a STAR and Runway to select, all will work a charm.
@@Drawyah Thanks! llooking forward to actually landing next time
Nice! 👍
Missing PMDG come quickly for MSFS 2020...
Hitting PEXEN at 10000B / 220, as shown in the STAR, would have prevented the need for the later/steeper descent and made it all "gentler" capturing the glide slope.
What are the conors on your PFD?
Hey Does the VNAV work for the 747 ?
Also VNAV only works for climbing not descending right ?
VNAV is improving in MSFS, but not yet perfect. It can manage some decent, but best still to use V/S where possible.
I’m on a 6,000 nautical mile flight as of now. I’m halfway to my destination. I suck at landing these airliners.
Baha, me too man. France to Seattle, figured I'd learn how to land somewhere over Saskatchewan. Lol
i find B747 to be hardest to land, i'm on a controller and just can't do it, it's hard to get the plane under 160 knots and it just bounces.
Have you laned yet?
@@latchie8893 I'm personally still in the air. Lol
@@ESPirits87 speed breaks!
Hey Drawyah, I had a question in regards to landing ILS. I completely understand how to set it up, but when in tune in to ATC in game, it seems to completely mess it up. Is it possible if you can do one with the in game ATC? Or is the ATC just useless in the game and is better to not use it when using this approach?
In game atc at the moment isn't working correctly for that. I feel like it's on crack half the time. It'll ask you to go from fl300 to 3000 ft.
Looks quite hard to land the 747 I thought it would be a bit easier but thanks for this tutorial
The 747 is a difficult plane to land as unlike single-deck planes or the A380, you're sitting in the upper deck and therefore sitting above the nose, not inside it.
When departing the flight director is not following the FMC Route (LNAV is activated) while flying manually. Does anyone has the same problem?
How did you tern on the diamond Ils
helpful vid. can you also explain how i must program an approach while i'm close to the airport? when i activate it the plane turns around to the waypoint i already passed. very anoying. with the a320n i can clear the route with programming a direct waypoint to the airport and then the runway. can find it in the 747. thanks and keep up the good work.
To fly direct in a Boeing aircraft, you need to be in the LEGS page. Select the waypoint you want to fly to, then 'paste' it at the top. This will replace all waypoints before it.
@@Drawyah thanks! I'm gonna try and will let you know. Have a great weekend.
It does change the route but it remains yellow after i execute the new route. Bug?
2:59 where can u find the piece of info in your Simbrief? Can't seem to find it, while it's crucial for your Stars, waypoints and approach etc.
Second page towards the top, you can view the routing.
The Vnav works for me but the ap doesn’t stay lvl at crz altitude in 747. Vnav only works in the 747 from what I’ve researched
The VNAV works in the 787, not 747. At least that's how it goes for me.
Is it not possible to enter wind speed/direction and QNH in the FMS, like on the A320?
The 747 having big trouble keeping the glidescope :/
Not at this stage, no.
Does anyone know how to reverse throttle using a controller? On the TBM930 it goes into reverse if i keep decreasing throttle but on the 747 it just stays at idle.
in selecting you star and approach routes you went a bit fast and not explained why you did the steps, you just selected them
Why arent you using minimums?
Is this game broken i do what it asks and i fail lol take off hold a i do that and take yet still prompts me to hold a then when i land i have the landing gear out and i crash as it gives me a landing gear warning 😅
I am able to land my boeing but then the game decide to go full throttle when on touch down. How do i stop the engines from going full power?
Make sure that your autothrottle is turned off, sounds like you've left it on to a certain speed, and so when you apply brakes it counters it with throttle!
My plane doesn’t seem to want to level out. It keeps bouncing in the air not allowing the plane to stay stable. I’ve tried using the HOLD button but nothing. It either plummets to the group or just bounces
Adjust the trim of the aircraft up and down, force it to stabalise.
Any idea of what could have happened on my first 747 landing approche? I told the plane to descend to FL20 and then past that it went really weird. Like putting in 100% trim up and going vertical stalling and then falling down going too fast. So shortly after I just disarmed everything and manually landed the plane on the runway which ended up in a really hard landing since it was the first one in an airliner in the first sim i play on the PC..
Can the AP get messed up if you do a lot of active pause? it seems like the plane is standing still but stuff like speed can chase despite the aircraft actually not moving
Kinda late but my recommendation is that you dont use active pause because its super bugged, thats why she probably used 100 trim setting, its weird
THAT LANDING IS JUST
DAMN-
And to this day I've never been able to do better! 😅
could u explain why ur ND looks different to mine please:) yours has like 3 circles inside and mine doesn’t.
You need to activate the landing system for the circles to appear. No landing system, no circles.
@@Drawyah uh where is that exaclty 😅😅
I am not a pilot, not and aviation student or professional of the area. I just find planes cool and I tried this game. I've been trying to land this airplane on Beijing for a few days and I simply can't. The biggest problem is the landing gear that never comes down. This is making me mad lol so mad that I need this tutorial video to help me.
Landing gear not coming down? Usually means you're coming in too fast. Slow down much earlier.
Hello! Since I don't find a answer on my Question anywhere I need to ask this: After Autopilot, how do u change again to manual Speed/throttle? My Throttle is completly disabled after deactivating the Autopilot. I can't find the Problem.
and yes, i pressed the Speed button too but nothing changed.
Press the autothrottle button.
Will the plane automatically automatically set the ils info display on?
Not always, hence the need to check your ILS frequency.
what was the math for the rule of thumb for the decent/distant measurement?
Take your crushing attitude so 39000ft so do 39 x3 +12 and what ever that number is is how many nautical miles you wanna start descending at
Why are u scrolling ur mouse wheel if AP is on?
What do you mean?
