Nice job, I flew in all 3 seats of this aircraft with Northwest Airlines. Your presentation was fun and accurate well representing what it takes to fly the B727.
Thank you so much, I worked with the 727 for many years on the ramp. I got pretty emotional when I saw Capital Cargo International retire them and we turned the last one.
26:16 Omg that sound! I can't believe you actually flew one of these; that must have been quite an experience! As a student pilot just starting my multi, I can't imagine what it's like to fly one of these beasts. Great content man!
Definitely need to buy this one been putting it off for ages. Also when climbing, leave the power at the appropriate climb thrust and use your nose attitude to control airspeed. If you're keeping to 250 kt below 10,000 you'll need something like 15 degrees nose up. We fly by power and attitudes, that's fundamentals. If I was instructing you I would've wacked you over the head with a newspaper! Then for the 727 the charts state a normal climb schedule of 310/0.78. So after 10,000 feet, lower the nose to accelerate to 310 kt IAS and hold that until the point at which 310 = 0.78M, at which point you'll pitch to maintain that mach number to your final cruise level (IAS will now start reducing as you climb!). For those interested the charts say a cruise power of 1.86-1.88 EPR for his weight at FL320, with fuel burn in the order of 4196 kg/h (9231 lb/h)!!!
Since you asked, the pack cooling doors can be thought of similar to cowl flaps on a recip plane. In this case, the objective is to control the temperature of the AC Packs. When these doors are open, the inlet and cooling exit are wide open and create drag.
Love the X-Plane series. A lot of fun to watch. I was talking with my cousin and I knew she works for Boeing but I found out she's a Production Engineer on the 777 project.
Leafyjoe Yoness nope it's the 777. She takes the layout that was decided by the company that purchased it from the people who draw it out and gets it ready to go to the people who actually build it.
Enjoyed it, as always! Great touchdown. LOVED the in-flight shots of the instruments and the second "overhead" fly-by landing shot. Just like a plane-spotting video. Bought the upgrade to this fantastic plane today. Study-level! The 727: one of my faves ever since I watched Braniff 727s taking off in real life in the late 70's...
Jeff, you asked what we thought of the 727? Well, words can not describe how much I love that old classic. Great video and a very nice job of flying her.
Belchmaster41 yea, but those stairs aren’t part of the plane most of the time, these stairs are like on the md80’s and stuff and they come down in the back of the plane so that if it wasn’t parked at a gate they didn’t have to take the extra time to get someone to drive some stairs over to them.
@@braydensandau4828 Stairs should have been part of the plane since the beginning of the commercial aviation. Surely, it seems MD was the only one back then to include stairs as part of plane itself retractable stairs were in MD 80s (in front door). Not sure what are the down sides of planes having their own set of stairs. Can someone shed some light on this?
I think you were fine with the weights there. It was showing red then but wouldn't once you burned some of the fuel. The SIM assumed that your current gross weight is also your landing weight.
I just went on the first 727 ever at the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle. They also had the first 747, a 787 Dreamliner, and the last Concorde to ever fly.
Awesome vid, I have always loved the 727. I first flew on this aircraft in the mid 1960s at the tender age of 8. It was sad to see it retired, thanks again
Man these Waypoints. WINDU, SSOLO, VADRR and JEDYE. :) Can't wait for the plane though! Amazing video. I guess the force was with you on this flight :P
From a pilot to a pilot, make sure you find the perfect power setting on final approach that way you aren’t ballooning all over the place. Use that trim!
FlyJSim needs to make the classic MD-10. My ideal aircraft collection set is at least... 2 good GA airplanes, 3 or more commercial airplanes (one big an high tech like 787 or A350, one small 737 or A320 AND one classic commercial jet). All study level. I think the Md-10 would be the best classic commercial jet.

I noticed when you leveled off the plane held its speed. I was under the notion that the 727 does not have an autothrottle capability. Is that correct ? And if so, I assume you simply keep an eye on the speed and manually make adjustments ?
my fathers favourite plane is the 727 when he lived in sydney the flightpath into YSSY went over his house so he kept seeing them its so awesome when i go there
You would have been okay with the over MLW scenario as you would have burned off the fuel and become under the weight limit. Side note. I like how the built in fuel selector follows the 727 guidelines. Any fuel load under 34000 you divide by 3 and put in each tank. Over 34000 the rest goes in the center tank.
Man I was really hoping Indianapolis was on the list for this episode. On that note, im a construction worker in Indiana and i've heard that the Indianapolis Intl. Airport will be getting a new major runway just for the FedEx hub. As well as double the amount of gates to hold more aircraft. The new runway will be placed across to the south of I-70 and the taxi way will cross over I-70 that runs parallel to the airport. The first phase has already started so it will be a couple years before any noticeable differences are seen.
How big is the Fed Ex going to be. Use to work for DHL and we do all of amazons shipping but they are building their main hub at Cincinnati's airport so hopefully they build another runway because this hub is suppose to be able to hold more than 120 aircraft
I just had a flight from Charlotte Douglas International Airport KCLT to Chcago O'hare KORD. It would be amazing if you could do that flight. Love you Jeff and keep up the great work.
Great video and flight! I was an aircraft mechanic on contract to capital air at Austin Texas in around the late 90s. Then worked for Emery Worldwide right across the ramp from FedEx before they got shut down. Miss working on some of the old school planes like the 727s and DC-8-73s. If I recall didnt Capital Air 727 have the winglets?
And it occurred to me. You ever thought of doing a virtual airline maybe utilizing some of these great aircraft for x plane? Maybe STL, MCO based. Just a thought.
I own this plane and I fly it all the time. It's a lot of fun. One of the (many) problems is that the checklist provided is absolute trash. Also, not trying to be rude or anything, but there were quite a few things you did that were procedurally incorrect. I'm not speaking as a keyboard pilot, but as a real life fully qualified Flight Engineer on the E-3 (707). I'd be more than happy to fill you in (on what FlyJSim fails to provide its customers) if you're interested good sir. Nice video nonetheless!
Chiming in, just as a customer (and certainly not a real world FE, wow!), I've been irked with the FlyJSim docs as well. Though I can't comment on the accuracy of the procedures it involves, there's virtually no system explanation! I have had to learn most of the aircraft through all sorts of outside sources. Even some info I'd consider basic, like the proper use of anti ice systems, I have not been able to find...
Jay Rohwer Yeah, the manuals provided aren’t very good. I’m also very biased since I’m used to official Boeing manuals and procedures. There’s a lot of stuff missing in this 727. One big example is the Continuous ignition switch, which is required for anti ice operation and takeoff.. If you search “727 CBT” on UA-cam, there’s some really good videos that go into the systems in detail. We use the same type CBTs on the E-3. Very useful. If you have questions, give me a holler
@@sniperdolphin1397 Hey, thanks for referring me to the 727 CBT! I have learned loads of useful information there. I was especially pleased to learn how the air conditioning and pressurization worked; I didn't understand how the pack trip, or overheat trips worked or how to resolve them before.
Very nice video, Jeff!. Nice flight! Congratulations! I have only 2 issues about the flight: 1- You could use the Flight Director, in all phases of flights. It helps for situational awareness; 2- In Austin you did a backcourse approach to rwy 17, itsn't? I like so much the flight and gonna go subscribe your channel. Thank you.
Can you please do a flight on X-Plane 11 either departing from Boston or Landing in Boston, really looking foward, that’s actually a very hard airport for me to land at I want to see how youd do it
Love the videos, but remember that you pitch for speed and power for altitude when you're coming into land. You're on the backside of the power curve so the plane won't behave like it's in cruise! Other than that, awesome video!
The white stripes on the manual stab trim wheels are not correct, they should be 90 degrees apart for max leverage when both crew members are operating them.
@jeff Favignano Big fan, keep up the good work. I work for FedEx & love the paint scheme on our AirPlanes, especially on that 727, but the MD11 is my all time Fav Lol, If possible can you make a video of a large aircraft flying out or in @Bob Hope Airport in, Burbank California. Thats where I live. Please & Thank you.
Sorry to say I've got about six items that could result in your crashing on takeoff. While I realize that this is merely a game to most flight simmers, I actually flew the plane for thousands of hours and taught the systems and procedures as well.
@@richcarthief4778 Where are you located? A good used airline manual and follow all of the normal procedures. For every switch, there is something to consider before you move it and something to observe after you do.
fabulous Video, Most people are not smart enough to fly that and don't have enough Computer to do it also, me included. But it's fabulous job you did. Guess it helps if your a real Airline pilot. I spent my time in a 172, a bit different.
why when you were showing your landing how come the flaps were not down.. The slats and kruger flaps were down ( leading edge) but the rear ones were retracted? is that a bug?

Jeff, you asked what we thought of the 727? Well, words can not describe how much I love that old classic. Great video and a very nice job of flying her.
Hey Jeff, not sure how often you fly the 727 anymore but if you press shift+F1 you will get a set of stairs that come down in the back of the plane
does Jeff realize his planes usually have no passengers?
Belchmaster41 fair, just letting him know some cool tricks with this plane
most planes don't have stairs unless you are boarding outside of the terminal
Belchmaster41 yea, but those stairs aren’t part of the plane most of the time, these stairs are like on the md80’s and stuff and they come down in the back of the plane so that if it wasn’t parked at a gate they didn’t have to take the extra time to get someone to drive some stairs over to them.

Man these Waypoints. WINDU, SSOLO, VADRR and JEDYE. :) Can't wait for the plane though! Amazing video. I guess the force was with you on this flight :P
I love that high pitched whine of the 727 engines! They sound very similar to the JT8D-7s by Pratt and Whittney on the 737-200!
FLYBOY2900 that’s because the 727 has JT8Ds as well :). Some -100s even had the JT8D-7s
As well as the MD 80s
You should put up the engine volume at takeoff so we can hear the amazing engine sound.
From a pilot to a pilot, make sure you find the perfect power setting on final approach that way you aren’t ballooning all over the place. Use that trim!
