PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Tutorial 13: Approach
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. Here is my next video in the 737 tutorial series.
In this tutorial we will commence our approach into Dublin.
I'll cover the ten checks, discuss some energy management techniques, show your the FRISC check, capture the ILS and follow Localizer and Glideslope. We will finish this tutorial just prior to the landing gate as the landing deserves its own practical and theoretical videos.
The video has been taken using a pre-release beta version of the product, so you can expect to see some issues that will be fixed before release. There's no need to point those out as the team will be aware and working on them already. For example the trim sound is not yet implemented.
If you like my videos please consider a small donation as it's taking a lot of time and effort to create these.

These tutorials are not designed as absolute beginner tutorials. It is expected that the viewer already has basic experience with airliners and knows the basics how to operate an aircraft.
Instead these tutorials will focus on the 737NG as an aircraft and the particularities of how to operate it.
I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional UA-camr or Streamer quite yet and these videos are my very first that actually get more than a hundret clicks. I have never before created such content so bear with me for doing beginner mistakes.
I record straight from the sim without any fancy stuff going on in the background.

I feel like I'm watching something that I should pay for 😅 Extremely well done course of the plane!
Indeed I thought about selling them instead of doing public uploads, but well… I guess I’m too generous 😂
@@A330Driver Well, I thank you for that! 😁👍
An absolutely fantastic series of video's! I really felt as though I was sitting next to you on the flight deck. Thank you.
this plane is so beautiful, and your videos are going to be a massive help. can't wait to get my hands on it!
Very helpful! Thanks you. It really helps in my MFSF experience, just switching from the fenix a320 to the Pmdg 737
Bad news I’ve broke both my arms and have to wait 6 weeks to recover I will be watching you tho and thanks for the video’s
I'm really sorry to hear that, but let's see it positive: You'll probably know your procedures and FCOM by heart by the time you have recovered!
Get well soon!
Learnt a few things from this one, thank you.
Thanks you so much for these tutorials! I am training to be a pilot and hoping one day I get to actually fly a real 737-700 NG. Anyways, thanks for all your help and for being so thorough. Howdy from Texas!
Best of luck Bobby! I'm sure you will make it!
can't believe how smooth this is in VR
Honestly?Very impressing so far, real great aircraft!
Thanks for the great video (again)! Could you perhaps do a video on a steep approach (>3 degrees)? I would assume you need the speed brake to slow down then, but it will be important to have the speed under control before capturing the glide slope?
Considered! You're right, it's most important to have the speed under control before glideslope capture. If you catch the glide at more than F10 placard speed you can forget about the approach and start a new one.
Even 3.2° in Malaga (often paired with strong tailwinds until short final) can be challenging.
Can you make a video on maybe tips and tricks for the fix page? I wanted to learn how to use it on my advance and be more helpful on my flights, thanks for all you do!!
Considered, I’ll see what I can come up with. No guarantees when though.
Can’t wait !!
Another great video. I have been flying the flybywire airbus for a little bit, but am still a newbie to the PMDG 737-800 which I just purchased a week ago. Would you mind commenting a little more about how to do a “direct to” a certain waypoint while en route? Thank you!
Take the way point and put it to the top of the LEGS page.
Fantastic! Thank you very much!!!
Yes! I was waiting for more videos :)
And there will be more to come over the weekend!
@@A330Driver PMDG got the trim sound working!
Again, super good tutorial. I’m watching them all and taking notes before hopping into the 737 (only flew airbus in the sim before). But ehmmm, you’re performing Approach procedures during the Landing checklist. Is that normal? When do you set verf+5 and extend flaps 30? Before the checklist I presume? Also, in the landing checklist you go over speed brake….armed but in previous tutorials I never saw you arm it? Should that be done when you set up the auto brake or do you wait with that until the checklist because you might have used it to decelerate or lose extra altitude?
You start the landing checklist when commanding gear down flap 15, run the checklist down to flaps while they are extending and then once the flaps are out to the landing setting you complete the checklist. That's how we do it in my company.
Hello CPT, what do you mean by review the terrain on ND in 11:36, "We review the terrain in our minds"?
Another master class, just a quick question Emi, a bit off topic, on the CDU Simulations page 2/10 (if it's still the same as on the NGXu), A/T Manual Override. What would be the most realistic option to set there?. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ones again.
Thanks! The option still exists as it was in P3D. However answering your question is really hard.
The obvious answer would be to set it to always override. However: I guess your hardware throttle will NOT move together with your simulated thrust levers at all times.
That makes it problematic. Personally I'm using the "override in ARM mode only" option so that my joystick doesn't interfere with the A/T unless the AT doens't want to do anything anyway.
Is that most realistic? No. Is that most comfortable? Definitely yes.
@@A330Driver Thanks man, always helpful and congratulations for the release.
Great vid 👍
Great video thank you! Would you kindly share your PMDG aircraft setup settings? I notice you have some instruments showing that are missing from my 737-700 (PMDG). Example: The round altimeter in upper right corner of your PFD, and the terrain proximity graph in your lower FO DU. How can I obtain those two features in my aircraft, please and thank you.
Can you please do a tutorlal on the tiller and rudder settings please? Thanks
probably a silly question but if your aircraft doesn’t have the vertical situation display, is there a way to get it, or is it just specific aircraft?
your tutorials are incredible. cheers!
Hi, thanks for the great videos. They really help me flying this wonderful aircraft. Do you have a complete checklist from CAD until shut down and secure? Where can I find one?
Hi Tom, since the checklist I use is copyrighted by my airline I can not share it, sorry.
Hi, great videos. I've learned a lot.
Can you tell me, why do we have to set the enginesswitches to cont. while landing?
Jet engines don’t technically need anything to ignite the fuel in the combustion chambers once they get running…however, having the electric igniters firing constantly helps guard against an accidental “flameout” during a critical phase of flight. I believe they are also turned on when engine anti-ice is used, for the same reason…keep the fire burning 😅
@@FlatOutMatt Thank you for your answer.
Why do you change the heading, when the aircraft follows the flight plan anyway?
Hi again. just to follow up on my latest comment on the distance not showing up on the nav display, where you said it was a bug in P3D. So in this video (11:10) you have the distance to the DME, on both the VOR 1 and 2, so I dont understand. Is it because this ILS has an DME as well?
My aircraft have very different configuration and it is impossible to do on this video, B737-700 aren not the same of this one....
How do you setup the radios for an ILS approach where a DME transmitting on a separate frequency is required? E.g. runway 05, or 23 in Hamburg, where ALF DME is required. Thanks!
Hello, can you please tell me how to connect to the simulator online.
In simulator or fsx, of course, I can't connect to the servers without purchase🙏
How would the aircraft operate if I had only one ILS frequency being regulated. I find that it can still capture ILS signals, so can it still be able to land automatically?
How do i find the minimums of any airport withaut simbrief, IS there any web or app for android for the minimums?
How do you do a quuck airport turnaround to depart again? I shutoff engine added ground power but engines wiukdnt restart later possibly low psi maybe not sure but whats proper steps
thank you captain , i am wondering how to calculate the transition alt at the approach , keeping in mind the altimeter and the trans alt given by charts , so you calculate the flight level transition alt ..
The transition layer (area between TA and TL) needs to cover at least 1000ft. You need to take into account both temprature and QNH in order to determine where the TL must be.
To make it simple for flight simming purposes: If the QNH is less than 1013 use 2000ft between TA and TL. So with a TA of 5000ft you could make the TL FL70.
If the QNH is above 1013 use 1000ft, so with a TA of 5000ft use FL60 as TL.
@@A330Driver thank you 🙏
How can I show the intermittent circle around the airport Like what your vor screen
Use the FIX page. I explain the details in the descent preparation video.
Can you import flight plans automatically from little navmap. I am unable to find it.
If LNM can export in PMDGs dataformat then yes.
So it’s available this weekend? 7th/8th of May?
I don't know, I'm not PMDG staff. I'm only a pilot who helps in the tech team, but no PMDG employee or otherwise someone who has direct insights into the release structure.
What could I be doing wrong in the sim that @10:42 I don't see the IAS / MACH speed appear on the MCP?
Maybe you're in vnav mode
On VNAV Descend from TOD to FL150 i keep getting 10 Knot extra than the expected speed. still on VNAV PATH and profile though.
what should I do ?
Nothing, as long as you don't overspeed: Don't bother.
What you *can* however do:
Enter a direct to the current way point, that'll update the wind calculations with the present winds.
@@A330Driver Thanks master, will keep that in mind
How can you do this fps and this quality? I have an rtx 3080 and a i9 11900k and i do 30fps
I'm using the 3080Ti with a slightly older CPU and my fps are just above 30 as well. The trick is to sync your monitors fps to your in-game fps and for recording to record at the same fps the game is producing. That makes things seem a bit smoother.
@@A330Driver ok, but other people can do 60fps with a wors gpu than mine
@@youngest737pilot5 frames can be affected by many things including screen resolution, try 1080 and upscale to 4k, works great and you can have very high graphics settings (not ultra) and get a nice result! Easy on your system too!
First
Second! Oh, wait!
