Boeing 737NG - Memory Items: Engine Fire, Severe Damage or Separation

Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. In this new series of 737 tutorials we will talk about the memory items for the 737NG.
These videos are not intended as a training for real aviation but serve purely for desktop flight simulation purposes such as with the PMDG 737 addon for MSFS, P3D, FSX, etc.
In this first video of the series we will discuss and demonstrate the Engine Fire, Severe Damage or Separation memory items.

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.
Tools and addons used in this video:
Nvidia Shadowplay
Windows Movie Maker

As a Ryanair Mentored that's really helpful , thank you Captain

[@orion-viikhmernight2748]

Great stuff. Thanks for the tip sir.

[@TacticalSandals]

Another great video! You should do one for the the Collins HGS at some point I know the modes and setup can confuse some people.

[@A330Driver]

I would, if I knew the HUD myself. But my airline doesn't use HUDs so it becomes hard for me to do it up to the standard I want it to be.

[@flightdeckstudios1668]

All of your videos are great, and very informative. With regards to this video would like to see the "rest of the Story" to the nearest airport.

[@A330Driver]

Check my Engine Failure Livestream to see the "full story".

[@MoisesSimana]

Thanks for another great demonstration. With one engine out, would it require rudder trim? I was not able to see any behavior changes in flight after engine one quit.

[@A330Driver]

Yes it would. Of course you'd first of all use manual rudder to maintain the flight path and only thereafter accomplish the primary rudder trim technique.

[@gasparanatrone1346]

Hi. Great!! Question: how do you change at the same time position and zoom of the view inside the cockpit? (time 2:46 of the video, for example)

[@A330Driver]

It's the default MSFS command to return the view to the standard view. Not 100% sure what it's called like right now.

[@MalikC92]

great video! does the ap usually disconnect in the event of an engine severe damage??

[@A330Driver]

The AP disconnect is not related to the engine failure but to the powerchange in the system.
I've been using CMD A, which is tied to the left electrical system. When engine 1 failed and the left transfer bus was temporarily out of power (until the right generator kicked in and took over the system) the AP disconnected.
Had the right engine failed the AP would have remained engaged. It would also have been possible to reengage the AP if I had tried.
The same happens by the way if you then turn on the APU in the non normal checklist and select the left APU GEN ON. It would have tripped CMD A OFF. Thus you'd have switched to CMD B before putting on the APU GEN on the left side. Check my engine failure video to see how that's working if you're interested.

@@A330Driver So systems in the PMDG 737 are linked? For example, can an electric fire cause electric systems to fail

[@hkr4life]

if you overspeed with flaps set, does the flaps get damaged?

[@A330Driver]

There's of course quite a bit of margin build in by Boeing before damage would occure, but yes, it's possible that the flaps might get damaged if extended above their speed limits.

[@zacky5315]

Hi. After the discharges and fire continuing to burn, would switching the fuel pump off to that engine, help ?

[@A330Driver]

No, it wouldn't. The fuel valves have automatically closed when the fire switch was pulled.

@@A330Driver Oh. ok Learning one more thing Thanks. 🤓

[@robsonbr1246]

Are all the actions from the memory item executed by only one pilot or both with separate areas of responsibility? I understand that the actions depicted on this video was a function of flying alone. One more point, which document does state which actions are done by each pilot once the QRH doesn´t indicate that. Thank you.

[@A330Driver]

The items will be "read" out by the PM and then carried out by the pilot in whose area of responsibility they fall.
So most switches (except for the left CDU, EFIS CP and MCP) will be handled by the PM, but the thrust levers will for example be handled by the PF or the AP would be disconnected by the PF if required.
This is defined in the FCOM Area of Responsibilities chapter. Just like the normal procedures will not always say who's got to do what you can easily tell by checking if the system or switch in question falls into your area of responsibility or your colleagues.
