Hey Ralph, thanks for your kind words. Listen, we all have our moments! Trust me, the vids you see on my channel aren’t always the first take 😂 just practice and enjoy - the procedures start to become second nature. Thanks for watching & happy simming 👍✈️
love the video very clear instructions. I am just getting into MSFS and this helps to see the vide and understand some of the terminology. Can I ask is there any information sheets for string up the aircraft and other operational tasks please.
Hi Nick… welcome to the flight sim community! Glad you found the video helpful. I don’t actually have any checklists for setting up the plane etc. it’s definitely something I’ll consider doing though. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Much appreciated 👍✈️
would you mind tell me why you choose categoryA in ILS chart? Isn't categoryA for the aircraft that the approach speed less than 91knot? In this case, shouldn't you choose categoryD ?
Hi, thanks for your question - you are indeed correct, very well spotted! I should have really used the Minimums for Cat C /D, I hadn't noticed but I obviously mis-read the chart whilst recording, but I'm glad you pointed this out so thanks very much for watching!
From my understanding the fix 4/10m rings are from the rwy threshold...as stated by a rw pilot ..ie you type in your case "rw24"..then put in the 4 & 10nm rings..because you want to initiate flaps, spd etc from rwy threshold ...not the VOR...what if you have a VOR some distance from the aerodrome?...anyhow nice vid..
Thanks for your kind words and for the background info… I selected the VOR in this case as I knew it was practically on the runway. As you suggest it wouldn’t work for a VOR miles away… you can also drop the RW number on to the fix which is how I normally do it, and I usually go 5 miles just out if habit really - it gives me a visual reference on the nav display where I know I need to be gear down, flaps 15. Just personal preference really. Thanks a lot for watching & commenting 👍✈️
Hi… thanks for your question. Yep you can choose the NAV Radio panel from within the FMC’s aircraft options menu. There’s 2 options to choose from. Thanks for watching, appreciated 👊✈️
Hello there… the charts are Navigraph. It’s a paid subscription but worth every penny in my opinion. If you’re thinking of going to MSFS 2024 that includes charts for free too! Thanks for watching & commenting, appreciated 👍✈️
Hey, thanks for your question. Heading is the direction that the nose of the plane is pointing, course is the true direction of the aircraft over the ground. So if you're flying in a crosswind your nose maybe pointing to the left whilst the plane travels forward - a bit like how a race horse runs. Hope this makes sense, thanks for watching & commenting, appreciated.
Hi Chris... this was recorded little while ago but I just hopped on Simbrief to recreate the flight plan... its the same route from Frankfurt to Barcelona but the active runway is 06L which is different from the video. Hope this is of interest, thanks for watching. Route: EDDF/25C N0439F330 ANEK3F ANEKI Y163 HERBI Y164 MOPAN/N0445F350 DCT LUTIX DCT BENOT DCT NEMOS DCT GVA DCT INCUS DCT BALSI UN852 DIVKO UN975 NILDU N975 BISBA BISB2E LEBL/06L
Hi Shawn, In this vid I'm using the LG27UL500P-W as I can record in 4k for youtube which looks better for all the displays & switches in the flight deck, but it does lock the FPS to 30 on the Series X. When I'm just simming day to day I use the DELL G2724D which runs the sim at 1440p and unlocks the higher frame rate - about 80-100 fps. Thanks for watching!
Hey… that’s annoying. Just double check the plane is receiving the ILS signal before pressing the APP button. You can tell if it’s receiving the signal by looking top left of the PFD, it’ll say the frequency and also how many miles to go. Hope this helps get it sorted for you. Thanks for watching & commenting, appreciated 👍✈️
Cheers for the advice man, that’s exactly why I need a first officer! You’ve got the job! I’m blaming the PAPIs not being calibrated correctly on my LEBL scenery 😂
Thanks for your comment, I hear what you’re saying and I definitely got a bit hot on the descent 😂. I just feel vertical speed gives me a bit more control when required. Cheers for watching 👍✈️
The approach was almost too beautiful I couldn't focus on the video. Very helpful thanks!
Hey! Thanks so much! It’s one of my favourite approaches in the sim and IRL. Cheers for watching and commenting, appreciated. 👊✈️
Great video and commentary, cockpit looks very dark without the cockpit lights on . Thanks
Hi Jacobus… thanks very much! I’ll be sure to get the cockpit lights up a bit for you guys in future. Cheers for commenting & watching 👍✈️
Really love your videos. They are so clear and informative. Brilliant job. Thanks 👍
Hi Kevin, thanks so much for the kind words, really appreciate you watching👊✈️
Excellent. Thank you. I managed to do my first landing in this aircraft (ManchesterEGCC) nowhere near as calm as yours. I've learnt a lot.

Nice presentation. Thanks
Much appreciated, cheers Andrew👍

Cheers mate - I'll try this on my next one.
I'd have also armed the speedbrake and put the start switches to CONTinuous, but nice video and explanation of the approach config 👍
Agreed!! There’s always something I forget, that’s why I need a first officer… you’ve got the job!! Thanks for watching & commenting, appreciated 👊✈️
Nice landing.
Thanks for watching!
prob the best tutorial
Awesome, thanks so much… appreciated 👊✈️

The thing where you put the ILS freq in looks a bit diffrent on my pmdg 737-8, are there diffrent versions?

What app do you use to have all those airport maps and charts?

Hello, whats the difference from course and heading ?
Hey, thanks for your question. Heading is the direction that the nose of the plane is pointing, course is the true direction of the aircraft over the ground. So if you're flying in a crosswind your nose maybe pointing to the left whilst the plane travels forward - a bit like how a race horse runs.

@@seven3simmer Cheers mate
Hi do you have the flight plan you used?

@@seven3simmer Thanks very much
what monitor are you using?

thank you for the response nice video by the way@@seven3simmer
Think you forgot to change to local altimeter pressure but good vid 👍🏻
Cheers man! And that’s why I need a First Officer! Let me know if you’re free 😂✈️
I dond have the nav rad panel? I have pmdg 737 800
Hi… check the PMDG aircraft settings menu. It might be an installable option that’s switched off 👍✈️
for whatever reason I keep getting G/P instead of G/S following the video. sims drive me nuts sometimes..

You kept over correcting your pitch and didn’t flare
Cheers for the tip - will keep practicing!
4 reds is mandatory go around mate, careful with your vertical speed not more than 1000fpm
And 4 whites on short which is mandatory go around also, keep your rate of descent constant around 750fpm
Cheers for the advice man, that’s exactly why I need a first officer! You’ve got the job! I’m blaming the PAPIs not being calibrated correctly on my LEBL scenery 😂
I don't like the idea of using v/s. You exceeded 250 kt while descending. But great video! :)

Great man love your explanation! @@seven3simmer
