Just a comment on the rotation rate (777 TRI). You correctly state (as does the FCTM) the 2 to 2.5 degree rotation rate. You have however omitted the sentence “rate being lowest on longer airplanes”. Therefore, the rotation rate for the 300 should be close to 2 degrees per second and 2.5 degrees per second for the 200. Edited to add: Nice video! Very well explained
Thank you! I left this part out intentionally since I didn't want to overcomplicate things for flight simmers. I think in simming it's just best to use one marker on the ADI per second, which equals 2.5°. That's easy to remember and easy to focus on since most simmers don't have the PFD in its original size in front of them.
The most important statement from the FCTM is actually to NOT adjust takeoff speeds or control forces to compensate for increased body length. Liftoff attitude should be achieved within 4 seconds and the rate as correctly stated will vary between 2 and 2.5 degrees. The 777-300ER with semi-levered gear liftoff attitude is exactly the same as the -200 series (8.5 degrees).
Thanks Emanuel for the fantastic videos! It's much appreciated. Just a quick question - after taking off, if you start to drift off the runway heading, should you use rudder or ailerons to get back on course?
You are correct, this is basically ICAO standard from doc 9574. “Autopilot SHOULD be operative and engaged during level cruise except…..”. Of course, some regional and company procedures may be more limiting.
@@mbcxharm Not sure if that doc supercedes AC 91-85B but in that AC it reads "An automatic altitude control system MUST be operative and engaged during level cruise, except when circumstances such as the need to retrim the aircraft or turbulence require disengagement."
Hi, I have the thrust master rudder pedals, when i am on the ground doing the flight control check, everything is normal, when i am manually flying the pedals go a luttle but to the left or right
Hi There, I bought the 777 today with PMDG but there seems to be a problem with take off. For whenever I take off and start to climb the power of the engines cut off and I start to stall resulting in the aircraft crashing into the ground. I’m unsure if you know why it would be doing this. Thanks
Will we have an update for P3D PMDG 777? The CPLD (or something like that) with ATC communication in the cockpit doesn’t work in P3D and we have to use Vpilot whereas this not like that in real life.
Excelent video so far! I have a problem on take off. I set thrust to 55%, wait to be stabilized, but pushing the hidden toga button on the bolt does nothing, so I have to manually control thrust on takeoff. Any insights of what I'm missing? Thank you!
@@A330Drivercan you expand on why you accelerate straight to 250 KIAS in the 777 whereas in your 737 VNAV takeoff tutorial you maintained Vzf until passing 3000’ AGL?
Hi! Thanks for your great Videos! At 9:24 you set the flaps up just above the green 1-Indication. Why do you fly below the corresponding indication with one notch above? If you set the flaps up just above the 1-Indication, you will fly with flaps-up below the UP-Indication, also in case of a speed constraint during the departure. On the approach it is the other way rund. Correct?
This is the correct technique for departure. As long as you are accelerating towards a speed above the next flap manoeuvring speed you select the next flap setting when above the speed for the current flap setting. The FCTM has some diagrams showing how momentarily you have a reduced manoeuvre margin, however it doesn’t persist for long. With the flap placard speed becoming limiting at higher gross departure weights you would never get the flaps up if you didn’t do it this way! 😀
@A330 Driver. Hi one short question. Do you know if the pmdg 777 has an own fadec which is taking the weight and balance into account: the fuel burn per engine per hour (at given FL and Mach, no wind) will be significantly lower near ZFW compared to near MGW in a cruise phase. I know the MSFS default airliners do not have this modeled so after 10 hour flight without FL change the fuel burn is the same. Thank you.
Hi, are you sure default airliners don't model this? Sounds wrong to me if I'm honest, I'm rather sure they do burn fuel based on weight. The 777 of course models that correctly.
@@A330Driver thank you for the quick reply. Indeed the default airliners do not have this modeled. I did several survey flights with different weights. For example: The default asobo 787-10 doesn‘t have it. And even the dev of the horizon mod did reply to me in an email that they did not implement it either. But glad to hear that the pmdg 777 has it. Regards.
Hi everyone!! I was Trying to do a flight. I think did everything right. Runway and ready for takeoff, when I apply takeoff thrust it overspeed and crash. The only thing I can imagine is tried to do this flight empty, no passenger no cargo. It happened someone else??
Hello and thank you for your wonderful video I have a question on the eicas display it has n1 and also EGT what is egt because I flew the 777 yesterday the n1 was fine but the EGT was shown 711 and 713 but had red boxes around them was it running hot? Your help would be appreciated.
Hi, EGT is the exhause gas temperature. If you had red boxes around it you have exceeded your engines limitations during your flight. Engineering can reset that on the ground (FMC maintenance page).
One thing I've not understood, is the trim, same with 737, so when flaps are extended the speed trim system keeps trimming the aircraft nose up. Is there a quick answer to why they do this?
The trim systems in the 737 and 777 works quite different. The 737's STS wants to mimic "natural" behavior. The 777 will compensate any effect from the flaps.
After listening to thousands of 777-300ER takeoff from the cockpit + cabin and flying more than 10 times on this aircraft, these PMDG sounds are NOT REALISTIC and need huge improvements. P3D GE90-115B sounds need improvement too.
Tell their support, it won't help to write that under some youtube video ;-) support.pmdg.com It is worth to mention though that cockpit and cabin sounds are quite different from one another. When I flew as a passenger on the A330 for the first time on a deadhead flight after I flew as operating pilot for half a year on type I was literally shocked and thought the engine was coming apart when I heard it in the cabin, sitting next to the engine.
In the ECL, the curser dosent move automatically to the next step when u tick an item when its done. It used to do in p3d pmdg 777 and the real airplane ofcourse. Is it only me or is it happening with you as well Thank you.
I know this is random but I was trying to fly the pmdg 737 but when I tried to engage the STD mode the button. Should not work. I clicked it once and it just kept on clicking on its self so it went from STD. To Baro and it should not stop. I play on an Xbox series X and was wondering if you could help me.
You don’t need a keyboard just a wireless mouse connected to the USB of the xbox. Works great for zooming with mouse wheel too. There is a known fault with using the controller to select switches on PMDG 737

Not sure how it is in Europe, but in NA, RVSM starts at 290 and you only need to be on autopilot during cruise. You can hand fly up and down from it.

Yes, there are A LOT of differences in flying in Europe / America

I don't understand the LNAV and VNAV?
LNAV: Lateral Navigation VNAV: Vertical Nav
When they are selected, the auto pilot will follow the waypoints entered in the FMS.
I’ve heard mixed views on setting the MCP to V2 or (V2+10) or (V2+20) etc. What’s the right one?
V2. However if your rotation is correct you will climb out (all engines) at between V2+15 and V2+25.
