Yes, Grenz, that is the problem I have, these take time to do. I am working on a Non-Normal Video collection that will cover most of the non-normals encountered in actual flight training and will be of interest to flight simmers, but also actual pilots about to transition to the 747-400 or 747-8. Glad you find value from them…
Thanks Freqimann, no actually this is one that has been private for some strange reason, and I just published it even though it was made a year ago. My intention is to make more videos in the future, hopefully sooner than later.
1:30 FMAs are located on the top portion of the PFDs. there are 3 areas to the FMA. 1) Autothrottle mode | SPD (speed) 2) Roll mode | LNAV 3) Pitch mode | VNAV
2:35 A/T mode of the FMA these are some of the annunciations you can have for the autothrottle system. 1) THR REF | thrust reference 2) SPD | speed 3) THR | thrust 4) HOLD | hold 5) IDLE | idle
2:59 ROLL mode of the FMA 1) HDG SEL | Heading Selector 2) LNAV | Lateral Navigation 3) HDG HOLD | Heading Hold 4) TO/GA | Take Off and Go Around >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5) ATT | Attitude 6) LOC | Localizer 7) B/CRS | Back Course 8) FAC (-8) | Final Approach Course | 747-400 | dash 8 9) ROLLOUT | Losing Speed at landing / touchdown
Hi Luke, yes this video was made with iFly 747. I recommend the PMDG 747, or the more expensive Aerowinx PSX. You can do a google search for PMDG or Aerowinx to get info. PMDG is around $135 if you use it with P3D and Aerowinx is around $325 and is a stand alone. P3D generates the virtual world and scenery and PMDG is the developer of the jet modeled after the B747-400 and B747-8...
Greeting Tara, I have taught quite a few Russian crews like Air Bridge Cargo and others. I still have beautiful shot glasses and Vodka bottles given as gifts after the training, great guys. Very strong boys, really firm handshakes, that is what I remember the most…
time is one of the most important thing that we have, so with that being said, thanks a lot for dedicating time in doing these videos 🙏🏼😁

Thank you. Best teaching instructor online ever...
Thank you Leo, appreciate the kind words...
Thanks for the video, the audiovisual presentation helps get back in the groove.
Glad you enjoyed it!

The 747-8 by PMDG just came out. Hope you do some vids with it. :-D
Thank you very much. Can't wait for the B787 systems description!
I’m looking forward to that as well...thank you

At 5:38 the view is of an apparent program that can be used to practice FMS drills. What program is this and is it available to the public? Thanks!

@@subsonicflighttraining Thanks Capt. Al. I'm finding the Aerowinx to be best for my needs. Safe Journeys!

Just below the FMAs would be Autopilot Director's Engaged Status (CMD)
Yay! You’re back!
Thanks again .
Your welcome Tonforr, hope to make some more of these in the future, not sure why I had this one private for a year, slipped through the cracks...
