You flight sim RUclipsrs are something else. Just last night I was wondering how I would go about flying circuits in my 737 and Fenix 320. Not the first time content from someone has popped up just when I’m needing it. Thank you.
That's what I call timing! For the A320, in case you're wondering, there is a great video out there from Blackbox711. I used that with the FSL A320 back in the day.
Thanks for all the content you produce, Emmanuel! Would love if you did a Mexican route sometime just for fun :) MMMX to MMMY is a very interesting, but quick and fun route!
Captain! Thank You Sir for sharing your Professional Pilot's Expertise. I am just a single engine Private Pilot, so I really enjoy your videos, they are educational for "flight simmers", I don't quite have my MSFS 2020 setup yet, but when I do, your videos would have prepared me. I love the Boeing 737-800/700 and the 600. Loved the Area 51 video. My employer, a very successful airline in the US, recently purchased 50 Boeing 737-800, I work in aircraft engineering drafting, the main fleet currently is Airbus A319/A320. We will have a job cutout when the B-737-800's arrive next year, we do not have drawings for the B-737-800's.
To add difficulty once you have mastered the left-hand, you can do the right-hand. Many airports require alternating between Right-Hand and Left-Hand circuits, for noise abatement measurements.
Those wouldn't be airports where you'd fly patterns though. The aim is to always fly them in the direction where the PF is sitting to enable best visibility.
Simply outstanding instruction for pattern work in the 737! This will definitely help me with my hand flying. It’s interesting to compare the similarities and differences with the 737 in the sim compared to using a puddle jumper to fly the pattern in real life. Thanks so much for posting this video!
could you do a video on the vsd? I heard lots of pilots say it's really useful so I'd be great to see some examples, like the fix page video. great tutorial as always
Downwind timing from abeam downwind threshold - 3 sec/100' of circuit altitude corrected for wind. 2000' circuit = 66 sec to base turn (still air). Hence you were high by flying 45 sec. (UK large 737 operator).
So rare to see this explained❤. Thankyou. Not sure what your setup is but have you considered connecting your PC to a large TV. I do that with an HDMI cable to USBC from TV to an ipad (XBOX CLOUD). Makes the instruments easier to read. From the position you have in the sim it would seem that the instruments are harder to read than IRL?
Great tutorial!!! It was tough for the first 2 trials, but after 4 or 5 it got way better. All of the power settings given here change my landing to way better!!! Thanks To bad we can't key bind the chronometer!!!!
Finally got around to practicing the traffic pattern today. Amazing tutorial, all the right references to know.👌 Small question on flap speeds, I don't believe it was discussed in one of your tutorials, but the way I'm caclulating the correct speed per flap setting is (as derived from your references in this video): V = (flaps 15 speed from FMC) +5kts - (flap angle - 15 deg)*kts. so flap speed 25 is 134 kts if 15deg flap speed is 139 kts. No idea if this works for higher gross weights though; Any thoughts?
Hi Twan, you can make your life easier: Flap speeds are based on Vref40 (Vref at Flaps 40). Flaps UP: Vref40+70 Flaps 1: Vref40+50 Flaps 5/10: Vref40+30 Flaps 15: Vref40+20 Flaps 30: Vref40+8
Soooo good as ever Emmanuel. Any questions, this is default channel for me. So question this time is how do I make an extended centre line. i assumed I would pick a Star but you have a dotted line. Thx Alistair
Hi Alistair, load the approach in the FMC, then go to the LEGS page, select a direct to the FAF and choose the runway track (or rather: Final Approach Track as that'll be more relevant for your approach) as INBD CRS and voila.
I guess you call the downwind leg the base leg where you live? Interesting lol. In the US when flying downwind (parallel to runway) it's called the downwind leg and the base leg is the perpendicular leg to final. Either way always enjoy your videos.
Not really that different, you can use the same values. It'll descend slightly worse but within the scope of what you'd see on aircraft with blendet winglets with to weather influence as well
Interesting video! How would you handle it with ATC in the pattern as you’re leaving the class Delta controlzone in EDLP which is only up to 2500ft ? Would you try to get a special approval for that pattern or would you fly lower in real life?
We'd get special approval. If you want to do patterns anywhere in a commercial jet you will certainly give ATC a heads up with a phone call anyway, then you can discuss everything.
Excellent video Emi. I've been hoping for one on this topic for a while now so thank you SO much! Fantastic. At 19:05 you say "now you can very nicely set your position trim vector here, right on the centerline". What is the position trim vector? Did you explain it earlier in the video?
Thank you Sir. My audio needs an upgrade, that's for sure! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to create these videos, and replying to my question. It's amazing that we have this resource available to us. Unreal. Thank you again!
Hello, wow, very impressed on your Video !! I am a PPL holder and sitting in a Homecockpit using Prosim737 mostly for training, not so much for flying from A to B. So i really enjoy every Training Video i can find. What i want to ask, because i did not find until now, what about ATC? What is talked to ATC, how about Landing Clearence and so on if you do that in real live ? Thanks Matthias
Thanks for the tutorial. I got a question. For the life of me, I can not trim the airplane correctly, it keeps going nose down or up (or descent/climb). Have you got any tips to improve the trimming and keep the plane flying at steady altitude.
@@A330Driver Understood. But as far as I know,on Airbus A320,pilots usually do their base training with FPV and even autothrust. It’s much easier than fly a B737!😂Why was that？！
Hi, no I don't. Comes down to personal preference in the end, but I'm so used to using the raw data from my instruments that I never really needed the FPV.
I have 2004 Flt sim my computer only can handle it. My question is this looks so real complete cockpit, PMDG very nice even though I fly 2004 sim only can my computer. I have different liners with add-on nice panels. I enjoy Flt sim I can’t fly anymore this is my way especially liners. I use your videos to little help. Thanks
@@A330Driver that would be great, except I have Adobe products for graphic software that use my equipment and too expensive to replace Adobe software. But my Flt Sim is amazing for freeware. Thanks
When flying do you fly if you were like a captain or a first officer, so would you have the the throttle on the right side like a captain or left side like a first officer.
I noticed in some real life 737 landing videos, the MCP lights flash, but not other lights. If it was camera refresh rate I would think other lights would also flash. Only happens in the MAX?
Wow. Thank you so much! Question: at 45:28 you verify "speed brakes up" after touchdown. How do you verify / see that in the sim and real life? I see no indications. The green light still shows "SPD brakes armed". Thank you! ❤️
In real life: Check the physical lever has moved to the appropriate Position. In the sim: Listen out for the sound the lever makes. Would be too hard to look down during the high speed stage of the landing roll so I use the sound as a trigger.
@@A330Driver wow. THANK YOU!.As a simmer with no physical flightdeck I have such question. You can not imagine the value of your answers. That you so much! ❤️
Hi Emanuel - I've got a quick question.... When on the descent in the latter stages of the approach, I notice that the engines idle at around 35% N1 which seems pretty high. This high idle only drops to a more normal 23% or so after touchdown. As a result slowing down when high on the approach is a real challenge. Is this true to life? Why does it idle at such a high 35% in flight? Is the PMDG thrust model correct and accurate? Many thanks, and love your videos.
That's normal indeed. The reason we have approach idle is that if you'd let the engine spool all the way to ground idle they'd take forever to spool up. Look at the Fenix, the Fenix engines are definitely taking much too long to spool up. That's what I'd expect if they weren't in approach idle.
Hi Emmanuel, any idea why GSX cannot view addon airports? At the moment when you load up, GSX only see's default parking bays and incorrect bay numbers.
It has been fixed, Asobo states to update your Windows to the newest version. It was probably just a server side issue and had nothing to do with the sim (other than the fact that the error doesnt get handled properly and it crashes the application lol)
@@A330Driver I switched on online Data again. I flew 2 sectors without ctd. EDDL-LFLL-EDDL. Sadly, I experienced a crash right know in the 2nd sector. EDDL-LIPZ-EDDL.
