All 727 cargo's still flying have half the cockpit in glass. The videos are on Just Planes and Just Flight ok??? This thing has it in 1967 analogue and is NOT accurate at all for how they are flown now.
Yep, Krueger flaps droop without hydraulic power. I worked on a lot of them as a mechanic for Eastern Airlines, back in the 1980s. After Eastern went out of business, I moved to another major airline (UPS) where a guy I worked with had worked at a third airline , where he had the unfortunate experience of being on a ladder, looking into the open flap area on the leading edge, when someone turned on the tagged-out hydraulic system and pinched the guy's head in the flap. Even though hydraulic power was removed almost instantly because people were yelling in the hangar, he became unconscious and wound up falling off the ladder as the hydraulic pressure bled down and released his head. Luckily he was fine with only bruises everywhere, mostly from the fall.
What an amazing and unfortunate story, I am glad to hear the enginner was OK. Indeed we are incredibly careful before pressurising hydraulics for this exact reason, but of courses the procedures only came around because of unfortunate incidents that we learned from. Thank you for sharing.
@@JohnDuffy-c3t Not really. Just the ground interconnect on the engineer's panel needs to be open. It would not be uncommon to just leave that open in the hangar until they were closing up the airplane.
@@JohnDuffy-c3t I guess I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Your comment made it sound like it was virtually impossible to power the leading edge devices while on the ground.
@@JohnDuffy-c3t Yes your comment does explain all the conditions necessary to pressurize the leading edge on the ground, I just can't figure out what that has to do with my post. Seems you have a penchant for stopping by and leaving non sequitur comments on people's posts.
Phenomenal video! I used to fly aged aircraft from around the time where glass cockpits weren't a thing every once in a blue moon, but I recently wanted to start flying them more and more. This video was a phenomenal tutorial on the 727, and a great reminder for me on how to follow needles!
I bought this. It's generally excellent. The excellent automatic crew member checklists might make it the plane I end up flying the most, as you can basically get it to the runway from cold and dark the quickest of any airliner yet (without feeling like you're cheating with an 'engines running' start). There is one caveat, however, that drives me crazy, there is an audible cockpit sound loop that contains a few seconds of a totally different sound. It kind of goes from fan noise to a few seconds of electrical transformer hum, which suggests it was taken from a recording from a phone camera or microphone that was moving around or out of the cockpit. I have no idea why they didn't cut those last few seconds out. Once you hear it it you can't unhear it, it's unlike any other module, such a shame because the sounds are otherwise pretty good. Why would the sound change when your head is stationary? It's audible in this video if you can spot it.
I know what you mean, and it's actually stopping me from buying this plane until there's and alternative soundset, or an improved one from the dev. I'm a stickler for sounds, and something like this is going to drive me crazy :)
@@payt01 Yep, there’s ‘sound loops’ and there’s Sound Loops. I once met a random woman in a pub and I pointed out how I liked the fake battery powered candles. She said “so did I until I realised the flicker pattern is on a loop”. Once you saw it, they were ruined forever. This is like that x1000. Even a tiny barely audible pop like in the LES Saab 340 for Xplane is enough to destroy it for me.
Thanks for a great video. Back in the FS2004 days I spent many hours in the old Flight1 B727. No pilot helps back then. Think I am going to spend some money.
Haha the 737 Jurassic series! Never heard that one before. And these old JT8Ds look less ancient on the tail of the 727 than under the wings of the tiny 737s IMO
You are my favorite youtuber! I want to be a pilot some day and your videos are giving me a great way to start and know how to fly commercial jest is msfs! Thanks!
I had a lot to do with the old 727s, - the 100a, 300s and 200s QC, which could do passengers during the day and freight at night.- way back in the late 60s, early 70s. I was a load controller then. They were a magnificent machine and the pilots, in those days, really knew how to "fly" an aircraft. Just regarding the modelling, we all love an accurate external model but the operation and the cockpit are, to me, more important. Another great video thank you.
Could you do an Aerosucre procedures tutorial? That takeoff appeared to have way too much positive climb and you waited until the plane was in the air before retracting the gear.
@@blackieblong8334 Please read more carefully. I didn’t said *anything* about lack of humour or something else. I exclusively mean „dark humour”, and aerosucre jokes are 100% falling into this category.
@@blackieblong8334 in my opinion, taking things such as humans lives seriously is much better than making jokes about it (because of impossibility to actually feel how bad, sad and scary at the same time it actually is to have such an airline operating as aerosucre with all of its incidents)
I have no idea if you'll see this or not but hi, I had a couple of questions about the INS system and by extension CIV-A. For one, during a flight with the CIV-A, I see a lot of people track vors to fly to their destination. My question is what did it do? Is it like a more primitive version of the modern mcdu or something? I'm just a little lost on what it actually did compared to vor flight and what it and ins did in gerneral. If you can answer that would be great and hope you have a good day!
Curiously enough, this cockpit is exactly the same as the one by FlyJSim for Xplane. Curious, as the 727 has had many, many different instrument layouts throughout its history. Just a coincidence?
Me thinks your speed brakes are bugged (or a controller bind limitation), because it doesn't do that for me. I'm able to use the full range, rather than just on and off.
In the real airplane, after you do APU fire TEST (push up on switch), you must hit RESET (push down on switch) 2 times.....I found this out the hard way...LOL
If you leave the Essential Power switch on BATT, you will deplete the battery. You really should study the systems and procedures before you make these videos.
No offense, but there is no "BATT" position on the Essential Power selector switch. You might be confused with the STANDYBY position. Maybe you better study the system..🤔
I bought the FSS Embraer early access LOOOONG time ago. Now i understand why their development is so slow. I'm never gonna buy anything from this crap company anymore.
I understand wanting the E Jets to be done, but don't let that stop you from checking out the 727. I can barely do anything with it, and I'm still finding it more enjoyable than the 777. A ton of attention to detail. It actually makes me want to buy the E Jets, now I see they can put out a top product.
Please consider leaving a like if you enjoyed this video! With RUclipss update it makes a huge difference!

Agree, the transformer hum is very loud. Hopefully should be an easy fix for them.

Although there was PROPOSED 727-300 model, it did not happen and none were produced.
That was my mistake. Not 300s, just 100, 200 and 200QC.

You should check V1 Simulations then. The author of this channel doesn’t usually appreciate this kind of humour, which totally makes sense

Flight deck lighting could do with a bit of attention. You'll need the head torch to navigate the overhead at night. Unless I'm missing something...

First comment.
Thank you for the tutorial!
Damn, I like this.
great video. I struggle landing airplanes with back engines due to nose up tendency when backing the throttle.
Thought this may be the video where you don’t mention you’re a real airline pilot- twas not to be! 🤣 great video.
Curiously enough, this cockpit is exactly the same as the one by FlyJSim for Xplane. Curious, as the 727 has had many, many different instrument layouts throughout its history. Just a coincidence?
i imagine those horses wont be too happy when the engines fire up lol
Great addon, but plane needs more drag on app when you got 30 30 selected and it's to pitch sensitive on final app..
Thanks.
How did you configure your throttles with thrustmaster boeing ?
Me thinks your speed brakes are bugged (or a controller bind limitation), because it doesn't do that for me. I'm able to use the full range, rather than just on and off.
when is your next 787 livestream?
It’s released?
I have the TCA Airbus throttle quad and having problem setting them up. Can anyone help
Will this model show up as AI traffic in MSFS2020? I'm considering buying it to fly. But I don't want it to be the only 727 in the sim.
If you own it and others are flying a 727 you will see their 727
@@A_p_T53040 Thanks.
does it have gps on it? or only ins for navigation?
Two gps choices in the setup.
