the landing gear won’t come up on ground because there are proximity sensors which sense the position of the gear and send that to the PSEU and the PSEU reads that output and gives the gear up, down, locked or unsafe indications. The PSEU also senses the air/ground sensors on the landing gear (also known as weight on wheels sensors) and if the plane is on the ground and the gear is down if you move the lever up it won’t retract. Also you won’t be able to move it up it has a mechanical lock at the OFF position so it won’t move up in the ground unless you pull the little red lock override trigger on the lever. The purpose of checking the lever is just checking cuz maybe they did a gear test at that plane and they forgot the lever up and even tough the PSEU won’t retract the gear you cross check it cuz you don’t wanna have any trouble if the gear collapses and the plane gets damaged
Packs on Auto so we can get some air going in cabin. Hyd pumps off when towing so tow bar can't get jammed. Hyd pumps on after tow completed. This was a good quick video. Check list is always safer to use.
gear lever down? if that is in the checklist than I am guessing at some point someone had it up, and when they turned the hydraulic pumps on they had a rather expensive "whoopsie".
Great video! Just discovered your channel, you've got some really nice content. Would love to see more vids with the real aircraft. Keep up the good work! :)
Hello. Just out of curiousity, why didn't you turn on the fuel pump on the left before starting the APU? I am not a pilot, I just wonder how the fuel is provided to the APU without simply pumping it during the starting procedure. Thank you in advance :)
I got on a stone cold flight (the aircraft has been shut off over night and the delay was they had to borrow a GPU for startup) from Santa Fe to Denver, great flight. My wife and I got onboard and the airplane was stone cold inside. Really no problem, we live in NE.. They deiced before talk off, good precaution.
@@kuznetsov_denis_alexandrovich Ok, I’ll play along🤪 You change (engine) oil at every A-check when you change your oil filter. And there are no winter tires, just tires. Dont know the cost🤷🏻♂️🤪
Hi. Can you go through each noise that comes alive when you hit a switch. So BATT on you hear a hum noise? AC power on busses you hear the Recirculation fans coming on etc
PilotEd i have my own fully built 737 cockpit with real IPECO 737-700 seats. It’s amazing i will send pictures once its been delivered and put together. My friend is a RYR pilot and its great to follow company procedures. I’m just trying to add custom sounds when switching on DC power (batt) AC power and you should hear the Recirculation fans kicking in.
haha man if i knew where every sound came from id be a very advanced engineer! but im afraid I only know a few, for now, learning more everyday! :) all the noises are the DC systems that turn on with the battery.
PilotEd I thought you couldn’t turn on the boost pumps if you aren’t on ground power. Would you normally turn on a pump if you are starting from battery power?
I didn't really get why the APU bleed switch wasn't turned on 1 min after the start of the APU, and I am really curious why this wasn't the case. Thank you for this video!
lol well if you can tell me why i would need it? I wasn't starting any engines, the cabin temperature was fine as it was night time. so why put the extra stress on the APU? these things cost a fair bit to run and maintain in the the real world, any wear you can save is money saved. ;0
you are supposed to yes, but APU will run fine without it. It has uses vacuum to drive its own pump incase we forget :) same with the engines actually, they have suction driven pumps incase electric pumps fail.
That’s a very interesting video for a simmer like me, thank you ! I just have some questions for you about 737NG’s MCP. What is the difference between N1 and SPD ? What is the difference between CMD A and CMD B ? In which case do we use CWS A/B function ? Is it instead of CMD A/B or does it work with ? Thank you so much ! Alex
lol wow allot of questions, N1 maintains an N1!, speed holds the speed. CMD A+B are the autopilots can use one or both, CWS is also autopilot, but a sort of autotrim :) thanks for watching
Hi PilotEd! Awesome video! We all appreciate such content 😊. In 1:34, I noticed the GPU came online but was only after a few seconds that you switched on the APU gens. Why haven’t you immediatetly transfered to GPU power? Is there some cool down time for the APU? thanks!
Good to see after 50 years, Boeing made NO improvements in the cockpit! Airbus, walk in, put bag away, turn battery on, turn Ext Pwr on, call FA for coffee.
So it is it safe/OK to run the fuel pumps without the engine running? For how long or so? Or does it not matter? I always assumed that somehow wasted fuel but that'd have to mean fuel is being injected somewhere it can't return from lol so yeah
They should ban these videos if RUclips were smart. Honestly, it was so in depth someone could possibly take this skill to steal a plane LOL. Thanks man

It's better to watch this video 6 times than to watch a 30-minute video. It's perfect
When I started my 737 in X Plane, I thought that "maybe I can fly a real 737?". But then your videos changed my thoughts
@HAKAN RÜZGAR zibo lol
@HAKAN RÜZGAR Zibo!
It’s not as hard as it looks
Ofc it takes practice and time tho
Because you dont follow checklist all he did are in xcheckliat
Normal turbulence : eh
Turbulence when you are sitting in the first row and you hear „ windshear”:😱
“Make sure the gear Is down” ya and we will go check out the aircraft’s exterior to see the gear replaced by bricks
the gear will be down but as soon as you rotate the gear will retract which isn't that good
can't have shit in detroit
can’t have shit in detroit
If you gear level is up and power comes on the gear will retract causing significant hull damage and landing gear damage
the landing gear won’t come up on ground because there are proximity sensors which sense the position of the gear and send that to the PSEU and the PSEU reads that output and gives the gear up, down, locked or unsafe indications. The PSEU also senses the air/ground sensors on the landing gear (also known as weight on wheels sensors) and if the plane is on the ground and the gear is down if you move the lever up it won’t retract.

Great video I really can’t wait to be a pilot someday 👍🏻
I can't wait to be flying these things
Well it is a dream I suppose 👍
I think of it as a vision in the future👍
@@alexmurphy6943 go for it

the cockpit looks really beautiful at night heh

I loved the video! This is now my favorite channel :)
Thanks :)
Should I warm up the engines, before I go, or is better to warm them up in motion? And how do you warm up the gearbox?
Warm up the engines?? They get hot pretty quick😉
@@speedbird9313 ok, how often should I do oil changes? And how much do winter tiers cost?
@@kuznetsov_denis_alexandrovich
Ok, I’ll play along🤪
You change (engine) oil at every A-check when you change your oil filter.
And there are no winter tires, just tires.
Dont know the cost🤷🏻♂️🤪
@@speedbird9313 yeah, I actually decided to go with Airbus, a bit more comfort on long rides
@@kuznetsov_denis_alexandrovich Good choice, so have we👍🏻😆
Wow that ring bell will wake up even a dead pilot.
Bro this exactly how I cold and dark start my 737 800 in Microsoft flight simulator 😂
Hi. Can you go through each noise that comes alive when you hit a switch.
So BATT on you hear a hum noise?
AC power on busses you hear the Recirculation fans coming on etc
might make an interesting video, let me add to my list and think about it :)
PilotEd i have my own fully built 737 cockpit with real IPECO 737-700 seats. It’s amazing i will send pictures once its been delivered and put together. My friend is a RYR pilot and its great to follow company procedures. I’m just trying to add custom sounds when switching on DC power (batt) AC power and you should hear the Recirculation fans kicking in.
sounds good man :) congrats
PilotEd when you turn that batt on you can hear a clicking noise is that the BATT cover? Also a hum noise starts up also where does that come from?
haha man if i knew where every sound came from id be a very advanced engineer! but im afraid I only know a few, for now, learning more everyday! :) all the noises are the DC systems that turn on with the battery.
Can we use Ctrl + E to start up?😅
Excellent video! Subbed. I have always wondered what the loud click-clack sound is when the generator bus is turned on?
737 are really mechanical, its literally the relays clacking on and off.
Thanks for the awesome video. I thought it was recommended to have at least one fuel pump on for the Apu, or is that only for extended duration?
I could have put it on yes, but it does have a vacuum pump incase we forget ;)
@@PilotEd Thanks for the reply! I thought that might be the case just like other boeing aircraft
PilotEd I thought you couldn’t turn on the boost pumps if you aren’t on ground power. Would you normally turn on a pump if you are starting from battery power?
Why is it that if you turn the rudder trim the yokes turn too?
If it’s dark why not turn the dome light on
I didn't really get why the APU bleed switch wasn't turned on 1 min after the start of the APU, and I am really curious why this wasn't the case.
Thank you for this video!
lol well if you can tell me why i would need it? I wasn't starting any engines, the cabin temperature was fine as it was night time. so why put the extra stress on the APU? these things cost a fair bit to run and maintain in the the real world, any wear you can save is money saved. ;0
Silly me... Just holding onto the standard procedures too much I think. Thank you again!
@@leo9272 proc says You CAN put apu bleed after 1 min , not You HAVE to.. ;)
Great video !
thanks
I think the aireaft was at dublin that day..
As i as gamer would say At 2:40 RGB ALL THE WAY
Thanks it was amazing to see the clddrk to apu strt funly made
I thought 1 fuel pump should be turned on to power the apu?
The opening looked like you're stealing a 737 XD
Great video.....
thanks man, a bit rough but fun :)
Holly fuck! so many buttons! How do you remember all this stuff?!
repetition lol :)
Nice video! But quite different from our startup procedures:)
in what way? im curious now lol most airlines procedures are similar as they come direct from the boeing manual
That's alarming. 8oO
Great vid! However why didn't you turn on the Left Aft/FWD fuel pump after the APU started? Aren't you supposed to have one fuel pump feed the APU?
you are supposed to yes, but APU will run fine without it. It has uses vacuum to drive its own pump incase we forget :) same with the engines actually, they have suction driven pumps incase electric pumps fail.
Awesome video! Nice to see your enthusiasm too still haha.
im always enthusiastic! :)
What will happen if pilot move gear lever up on ground? Plane will crash or there is fool-proof protection and lever not work on ground?
Nothing will happen
@@yourbigfan1777 Nothing is i will not be able to move handle(mechanical lock) or it will be in up position and nothing happens?
@@Malloriak you can move the lever any time, but gear wont retract on the ground
Very cool video I have actually flown a real 737 in In my Flight simulator
Xplane11 Everything is almost most 100% accurate Of the real plane I think
You would think that there would be an external switch to turn on the interior lighting
I have a question, why did you leave the engines bleed on and APU bleed off when your are running on APU ?
engine bleeds are on all the time normally unless doing a packs off take off. APU bleed doesn't need to be on unless you want A/C :)
@@PilotEd Okay thanks :)
Why did you recheck the fire warning
Wheel Well warning light wasn't on when AC Power (APU in this case) because that light is AC Powered.
Because of using APU will you request extra fuel
not really! it doesnt use that much ;) fast turn around normally not a problem
PilotEd also, when did your said company started rounding up block fuel to the nearest 100kg and add 100kg
That’s a very interesting video for a simmer like me, thank you ! I just have some questions for you about 737NG’s MCP. What is the difference between N1 and SPD ?

Oh brother, this is tough. A train engineer, or a pilot?
What did you go with?
thx! now i know how to steal a 737 :D
Hi PilotEd! Awesome video! We all appreciate such content 😊. In 1:34, I noticed the GPU came online but was only after a few seconds that you switched on the APU gens. Why haven’t you immediatetly transfered to GPU power? Is there some cool down time for the APU? thanks!
haha, you can switch it on as soon as the light comes on ye! :)
PilotEd thanks for your reply! Keep up the great work Sir!
Once youve got the apu power, you dont need a ground power anymore
We can barely see anything. Where is your torch Cap?
Reminds me of airplane repo
Not as the fcom flow but is nice done allot of logic
I know how to start this up as a kid
What did you censor and why?
at 1:54? aircraft number.
Good to see after 50 years, Boeing made NO improvements in the cockpit! Airbus, walk in, put bag away, turn battery on, turn Ext Pwr on, call FA for coffee.
haha
Ur using phone it has a flash Right? Can be turned on to be used as a lamp while making a video and you holding ur phone wrong needs to be horizontal.
thank god your here to tell me how to do things mate! my life would be a disaster without you. thanks :)
😂😂
Lol
So it is it safe/OK to run the fuel pumps without the engine running? For how long or so? Or does it not matter? I always assumed that somehow wasted fuel but that'd have to mean fuel is being injected somewhere it can't return from lol so yeah
its fine yes, the only time you dont want to run a fuel pump is if there is no fuel in the tank. Fuel acts as a lubricant and keeps them cool
aweomse, thanks :)
Any new releases coming up
Yes there on the way in the next couple weeks, just been busy with a base change, moving country etc.. :)
PilotEd ok dude cheers
They should ban these videos if RUclips were smart. Honestly, it was so in depth someone could possibly take this skill to steal a plane LOL. Thanks man
Hehe Ryanair config
EI-D.. IS A RYANAIR
I see you swapped aircraft at @3:58 ?
It’s the up panel,idiot
👍👍👍👍👍
U decided to do it at night, thats stupid idea
fastest....start up.....EVER...
lol 25 min turn-around mate.. I love it! Thanks for watching
Your video would have been so much better if you had shot it horizontal
Ac change in Dub ;)
For lighting you could have put the dome light on bright or something
Ryanair company
I do not want to mix the company i work for with the channel sorry :) I LOVE the company i work for, but i just dont think i should mention it. thanks
Not a problem, I love the company you work for ;)
