Wow. A thorough guide for a jet than can be very touchy and moody, and you did a full flight walk through in 15 minutes. Superb! I really didn't want to sit through 1-2 hour long videos to start off with. I just want to fly. I'll learn the more advanced stuff as I practice. This is how guides should be.
Finally got the Aerosoft CRJ bundle (flying A20(N) and 737s). Didn't need a full tutorial; just a review of differences from the larger flying tubes - and this one was perfect! Thanks and I look forward to more of your brief-and-to-the-point tutorials!
A quick tip. The VS descent needs encouragement sometimes. Its pretty darn buggy, so if you set your vs and it doesn’t follow it. Do a short push or pull.
You should also show how to use VNAV in CRJ :) it doesnt follow it automatically but if you press DIR on the FMC it will display the correct VS you have to set in your autopilot in order to follow the VNAV route from one point to another. On the PFD it will also show a small snoflake icon to indicate wheter you are above or below your calculated VNAV descent path. Too bad the SPD descent is broken and CDA is impossible... if you press SPD280 and move thrust to idle, tge plane will dive in with 6000 VS and it wont pitch up... shame
Just more info on the XFR switch: it's primary use is for switching which side of the cockpit is being used by the pilot flying. It switches the FCCs (Flight Control Computers) which use different sources for their instruments (e.g. Pitot 1 or Pitot 2) which may have some slight variance. The result of this variance can cause considerable difference with the flight director which is a problem for the PF. You can check which side is in use with the arrow on the PFD.
Excellent video ! Just starting to learn CRJ, been flying A32NX a lot, which is beautiful but also made me little lazy. I want to keep busy :) There’s a lot to learn, good while waiting for PMDG 737 :)
Hello, I’m a CRJ type rated pilot.. We use the XFR button to select/designate that the autopilot use the air data computer on the side of Pilot flying a particular leg.. In actual airline operations the Captain and First Officer take turns, alternating between Pilot Flying, and Pilot Monitoring duties.. Also by switching the autopilot back and forth between the two computers, a malfunctioning computer can be identified.. I have also noticed that the flight director is either missing or of a wrong design.. On the actual aircraft, the flight director is a two part chevron.. One part is a command bar, and the other is the actual flight path bar, and the goal if you’re hand flying the aircraft, is that you fly your flight path bar into the command bar.. The red + design on the video, looks more like what I’ve seen on Boeing aircraft.. Hopefully either Aerosoft or a third party can redesign the flight director to what is actually on the CRJ.. Other than that, what I see is exactly like the actual aircraft..
In this version of the CRJ there are two types of flight directors and I think the second one is the one that you're refering to. I personally prefer the Boeing-like flight directors since I'm used to flying with those.
@@JoeyPilotYT So, you can switch between the two types in the sim? The real aircraft only has the one, or at least in the four years flying the aircraft, I’ve only seen the dual chevron type...
The single cue is used more in the USA in Europe we prefer the double cue or cross pointers, they are much more accurate. This will be set by the airline, I do have a question for you does hitting the XFER button drop off the flight modes?
Hello frien, how you get that green color in the table t ? for speed for example, mine is blue, is there any setting up ? Want that green color too ! lol nice stream ! Thks !
Very good tutorial. Thank you. I‘m always struggle with finding the right thrust level during flight, especially during decent. Is there any magic behind it?
During descend I just use the visual guidance on the PFD for the right descend rate and then I adjust the throttles to hold the speed. There isn't really a trick for it
Thanks mate for this amazing tutorial. I am having hard times to even set the flight waypoints, I used to set it automatically from preflight screen and use ILS approach with other planes. Do I need to set them manually in this plane? Cheers
You need to change the nav source to localizer one first on the panel to the left of the primary flight display, the same panel where you select the range for your navigation display and your altimeter setting, and then once you're in range of the localizer you press the loc button on the aitopilot panel
What speed mode does is set the right pitch to maintain the speed you've selected on the MCP, the aircraft also trims the aircraft for that same speed but not for level flight but instead to keep the aircraft at the right pitch. Speed mode in the CRJ is the same thing as flightlevel change in a Boeing aircraft or open climb/descend in an Airbus.
Hi JoeyPilot. First of all thanks for the tutorial videos that you do. Can you make a video on how to add friends and communicate with them and how to make a flight together in MSFS2020? Thanks in advance. Ray.
Hello! That might be something I could work on in the future. At the moment I don't really closely know other people who use flight sim so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the friends/communication part of the sim so I'll have to look into that.
Hello I really like all your video keep going ! Just a question please help.. how can I change the autopilot to fms so the plane can follow all my route thank you
To do that you need to go to the panel to the left of the yoke, there you should see a knob that says 'nav source', with this knob you can select the FMS as your nav source but I think this is the default nav source so you shouldn't have to change it, at least i don't have to
Yesterday I had a failure to maintain airspeed at FL400. I leveled off at 330 @ M.75 fine then I climbed to FL400 @ 1000 fpm so I wouldn't lose too much airspeed by the time I got to FL400 I was at M.56 she would not accelerate even leveled off. I had to descend to FL330 to gain speed. The flight went normal after that. What went wrong? I was at almost full throttle and she would not gain speed until I descended.
FL400 is pretty high up, especially for a short haul aircraft like the CRJ. The in sim version of the CRJ already climbs quite a bit slower than its real life counterpart and if your aircraft is also on the heavy side I can definitely see why the aircraft would behave the way you described. Where did you get your cruising altitude from? I always use a free website called simbrief which gives very accurate fuel and altitude figures and it has never told me to take the aircraft up to FL400. It could be possible if you are doing long haul flights with it but usually you're supposed to do so called step climbs, where you initially climb to a lower altitude and further allong the flight you climb higher up as the aircraft is less heavy due to the fuel being used up. Maybe you could try that
@@JoeyPilotYT It was Simbrief that gave me FL400 and that was with the airframe included in the pre-flight briefing. FLL to IAH was only 2:13 gate to gate. I thought that was rather high when I saw it initially, Thank you. I'll keep her under 350 from now on :)
The CRJ doesn't have an auto throttle system (at least not in real life) so if you want to fly the aircraft the way real-life pilots do it, then you'll have to adjust the throttles yourself to maintain your approach speed. The speed bug on the primary flight display can only be used as a visual aid. But if you rather don't want to mess with the throttles, there is a secret autothrottle system built into the Aerosoft CRJ if I'm not mistaken. You should try pressing one of the screws of the autopilot panel. This should engage the autothrottle system and in that case the aircraft will hold at the speed that you set with the speed bug on the PFD.
How did you disconnect it, with the button on the MCP panel or with a keybind? If you did with the button on the panel you need to press it again before you can re-engage the autopilot
@acicada1526 you might want to play around with that a little bit, try some other key binds as there are a few different binds for disconnecting the autopilot. Also if you disconnect it press you sidestick button twice
I am new to the CRJ. I have a lot of experience with the A320. The autopilot in the A320 has a readout for both the speed and altitude so you can clearly see the settings you have selected. Where are the readouts of these settings in the CRJ?
@@normwright4894 You can only see it on the PFD (Primary Fight Display, with the artificial horizon). You cannot see the selected values where the switches for the modes are. So I always keep zoomed out so that I can see the values I select.
Did you make sure you selected a vertical mode on the autopilot panel like speed mode or vertical speed mode? If the aircraft was still in TO mode that might explain the problem, but if you did infact have one of these modes selected then it might just be a bug in the aircraft
@@JoeyPilotYT it adds the button next to the altitude knob. Called v nav. I heard some crj are retrofitted with vnav. It makes flying it alot more relaxing :P
The CRJ doesn't have a VNAV system so it doesn't have a VNAV button on the MCP. You have to descend the aircrfat using either vertical speed or speed mode.
@@jeremyc311709 VNav is on the CRJ1000, and is an option for the CRJ900 Next Gen.. The CRJ700 and 900’s that I’ve flown, none of them have had a VNav option.. I was told that when airlines ordered their aircraft, that most chose to not have the option due to costs.. We didn’t have a HUD either, but I have seen some with that option on PSA CRJ900’s.. American Airlines pays for PSA’s planes, and they had the money for the option..
Will require lots of studies 📖 🥵 Only 2nd flight last night, got into trouble climbing. Altitude set initially to 5,000ft but aircraft kept climbing. After a little while, under set altitude, another set of numbers appeared in magenta, inside a rectangle. Wonder what that was about ? Unable getting a stable flight, couldn’t get aircraft to stabilise altitude…it went either up or down. It was getting really late, so ended flight. Sometimes better to reset the brain, come back fresh the next day :)
Good video but as you also know there is no A/T, you never mentioned what should be position of Throttle levers at different phases of different procedures which is one of most critical thing. On Landing TL should be on Climb or IDLE. After Takeoff what should be position. Nothing mentioned.
The autopilot of the CRJ is not vey reliable. Climbs through target altitude, loses LNAV and so on. Although the aircraft itself is actually very good. Hope they are going to improve the Autopilot.
@@stevieianni it might have something to do with the yaw damper, if that system is not engaged the autopilot can't be engaged either, you can see if the yaw damper is on or not by lokking at the display in the middle where you find all of the engine info, if there is a yellow message that says something about the yaw damper then it's not engaged and you should press the two buttons on the pdestal in between the two pilots, the button for the yaw damper is right in the middle somewhere and you need to press that in order to engae the sytem, if you do that then the yellow message will also go away and you should be able to engage the autopilot
@@stevieianni I don't really know, I personally don't use a controller, I do think there should be a tutorial on that from someone else that could help you

How do you have the fms sync with the flight you loaded on the world map? My crj never follows with nav mode on
I don't use the world map to program my flights, I program the FMC itself in the aircraft, way more fun and realistic 😁
Hello, I have an Problem: When I Press the Autopilot it automaticly Turn Off. Do you have an Idea how I can Fix that?
It might be that you haven't turned on the yaw damper but I'm not 100% sure. Could be something worth checking out
