PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Tutorial: Manual Flight using Flight Director
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. In this tutorial we will look at manual flight using the Flight Director.
We will talk about anticipation, Thrust/Pitch couple, Pitch/Power values and more.
A second tutorial where we will make use of the skills we learned today and go flying completly without Flight Director (Raw Data) will follow at a later point.

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.

Thank you Emmanuel for all your work….. my god we computer pilots learn so much from you. As already said by others - Your tutorials are really great and easy to understand… you are indeed a fantastic instructor and a gift to this flight sim community. Looking forward to more of your videos 👍👍😊
It’s so obvious from this video you are an excellent pilot and an excellent instructor. Thank you for the information and inspiration !
Really excellent video with outstanding information, techniques and proper pitch/power combinations. Allows us to be way more advanced flying this aircraft than we would be fumbling on our own. Once again, thanks for your time and effort and sharing your knowledge!
These videos are so helpful for us “armchair pilots”. Thank you much!
Haha omg that was epic. Was really enjoying it all the way through, then went into severe anxiety as you got closer and closer to the ground without looking up 😂😂😂. Amazing to watch - really!!
I plan to work through this next time I’m on the sim.
Literally the best msfs/pmdg vid I’ve watched - and I must have watched hundreds!!
Your tutorials really are excellent, sir. Very easy to understand, makes the 737 very intuitive and straightforward. The videos certainly are interesting as well as informative too. Good stuff. 👍
Great tutorial again Emmanuel 👍🏻🛫 (I have flown traffic patterns a lot with the pmdg 737 to learn hand fly. It is a great way to learn the aircraft)
Thank you very much!
@@A330Driver just to add, I have to say that the pmdg is harder to trim then the ZIBO 737 on xplane. But don’t know which one is closer to real life.
Your videos are invaluable. So glad that folks like you are part of this community.
Nice to see this and now lets try it in MSFS. Tnx for the explaining trim and ILS-approach. My plane always overspeed, but lets see with this learning how it will go
I really like the emphasis on being gentle and precise with flying her manually, while also learning to come to expect the sort of behaviors that come with certain maneuvers, so as to not be thrown for a loop whenever things start to happen quickly. Always be ahead of the plane! Not the other way around.😊
Great tutorial as always! 👌
Thanks very much for this training course. Really good stuff.
Your demos are excellent. This one video sorted out a few issues I was having with flying manually. I don’t fight the aircraft so much now, especially when on the go after a touch and go. Cycling the flight directors fixed that, lol. Auto throttle off during manual flying was another big help. Now I just need to master controlling the relevant power settings as you have shown. Thanks for the videos and info!
So many brilliant Tips and Tricks. So thankful to you for sharing all of this comprehensive knowledge and insights with us.
absolute legend for all these tutorials, keep up the good work and thank you for this!
this is amazing, I don't see anyone else do this kind of hand fly tutorial.
I now have the excellent PMDG 737 sitting waiting for me to enter the flight deck, armed with all your excellent video's thanks for all your work. I hope I can soon get airborne. All the best LeSeur.
Again, as the other comments, brilliant content, thank you for sharing your hard learnt knowledge with the sim community. 👍
Your videos are always fantastic. You're an excellent teacher Emmanuel! Thank you for the tutorial..!
Great tutorial Emmanuel, very helpful, thank you.
These videos are just fantastic. Have learned so much. Thanks. Any tips on trimming the aircraft in FS? Absent any true forces on the yoke I find I always over trim and then need to adjust.
Hi Mark, in case you missed it, I talked about it a little in my recent livestream. Might do a seperate video on the topic soon though.
Great video as always 737NG Driver. Well done and This will give confidence for us to really trust these guidance systems.
Very very nice, I enjoyed that. Thank you.
So great ! Every movies are really a surprise .... ! thank you :)
Beautiful video. Thanks so much ! So clear, so simple..So many training behind :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Every time someone ask a question on all the Facebook page I follow regarding the pmdg 737 I spam their comment section with link to your RUclips page 😂
Excellent video I learnt a lot from your professional instructions. Thank You. To practice these manual control, I like to know how you were able to turn on VNAV and LNAV with AP off. I tried pushing VNAV and LNAV without AP and they would not engage. Hope you can point me to the right direction. Many Thanks.
amazing explanation
Thank you so much for all these great videos.
Great video again and thanks for your work. :)
Brilliant! Thank you.
Great video I really enjoyed watching it. I do have a question though. When turning a B 737 in flight manually you only use aileron and no rudder because the yaw damper will give the right amount of rudder automatically. Is that correct?
Correct!
When doing my PPL, we were given the acronym PAT (power, attitude,trim) and APT (attitude, power, trim) Does this still apply for airliners?
I agree you do a fantastic job in your tutorial videos. I have flown lots of GA and other aircraft such as the pmdg dc-6., so my understanding of manually flying the aircraft is very good. I am a beginner at flight by use of the FMC and all the other navaids such as lnav, vnav, and use of the flight director. This video did a lot in me understanding and being able to see the use of the FD. My question as pertains to this video is this: I noticed you were manually flying the aircraft using trim and you had the LNAv and VNAV on following the flight path.. Was all this done without the autopilot CMD button being engaged? Because this is the way that I want to practice.
Hi, first of all: Thank you for your kind words!
Correct, all of this was done without the usage of the Autopilot, it was all hand flown with only the Flight Director providing guidance.
@@A330Driver awsome, how do u decide when to turn in on? does your airline follow a protocol when to be manual or in autopilot? same question for when to use vnav or not thanks
Thank You so much. I do have an interest in CWS-A and B. I know it helps in hand flying?
Tested it a little bit on the line, but it really makes flying harder, not easier. The 737 flies so nicely, just forget about the semi Airbus stuff LOL
Gotcha I see what you are saying.
So isn't the HUD the best of both worlds then? You are looking outside with the data right in front of your eyeballs. Yet I don't see many real world pilots using it in these videos. What is your opinion of the HUD and will you make a video tutorial on it?
I've never flown a real aircraft with a HUD, so I don't know how the experience changes. Many pilots who have flown aircraft with a HUD indeed insist it's invaluable. Others say it's not needed.
The truth is probably right in the middle. I'm sure it is an excellent tool.
I don't know yet if I'll make a tutorial on it. I'm basing my tutorials on my real world experience and I don't have any experience with the HUD. If I can find a pilot who can help me out with it, I might eventually do it. But for now there's so much more to do before going into the stuff that I'd need to learn myself before doing a video on it.
Hi :) Can You explain why in this plane during rolling off LNAV light goes off? In Zibo and real planes LNAV light is still On - thank You
Need to check again what the PMDG is doing there. It may come down to company options.
could you do a tutorial on how to set the aircraft to diffrent modes? i dont like it being spawned with the stairs and ground power, etc and i do not know how to change it via the fmc
FMC - PMDG MENU - PANEL STATE - LOAD
@@A330Driver thanks man!
Hey I have a problem and somehow I couldn't find the solution anywhere. When I try to make a touch and go with 737-800 plane becomes so unstable during flight. After I take off plane pitches up, whenever plane pitches up I'm using the trim to the opposite way(nose down). But this time plane goes down. I just can't find a way to fly with 737-800 manually. I'm a a320 pilot and I never had this before with it but with Boeing I'm always having this issue. So my problem is Why Boeing doesn't have a automatic trim and why I'm have to adjust it myself. thank you....
I'm not a real pilot I'm just flying with a320 at sim.
My flight director lines are not showing, am I doing something wrong?
Did you turn the FD switches ON and select appropriate modes on the MCP?
Where can I find the Owners manuals for this ?
Windows Start Menu -> PMDG
Can anybody help, I’ve downloaded the 737 700 but the hydraulic pressure is low, I’ve watched many start up vids and no matter what I do the hydraulic pumps won’t work
Please submit a support ticket to PMDG.
Go into maintenance and service the hydraulic system.
👍✈️🎉❤️
