for all those who dont know. minimums""" is just the gpws (ground proximity warning sensor) calling out with a pre recorded voice indicating that : " a pilot cannot legally land the plane with no visual confirmation of the runway after this call out" meaning.. if the gpws went "minimums" and u cant see the runway, you must abort the landing .. if you do see the runway confirm to your co pilot saying "continue" and carry on with the landing :) hope I helped :)
I got into PMDG aircraft many years ago when I starting getting really into simulators. I kinda jumped in blind and did the research as I went. Long time has passed since then but i remember when I first started I thought minimums meant you should drop throttle to 0 so this actually is good advice to new simmers

A relatively small number of the 737-600/700/800/900NG (nextgen) are fitted with the HUD. Alot of commercial airliners are also developing similar technology, I've heard airbus has been at it for the A320, A330, A340 and the a380 for some time now. Will look amazing :)

And there is even a professional license for "real" pilots. Then there is X-`Plane, which is newer, but it's not intended for real pilots. Well, some people will not agree that FSX - Prepar3d is better than X-Plane, but that's a matter of personal preferences.

Interesting. Must be a cultural problem. I'm glad you're having a good time, though.
That's why as an instructor I still teach my flight students "the skills" during their initial flight training. It's important to be able to fly an airplane by the seat of your pants when and if you need to. Technology is great, especially if its for situational awareness. But there is no substitute for good old stick and rudder skills!
That HUD is a pretty neat bit of kit! I'm going too get one fitted to my lawn mower for sure! No, really I mean it. Last time I had to cut the lawn the grass was about 500 feet high and I was in a lot of trouble with the Wifemonster! I had to mow through two thunderstorms and some very nasty bumpy turbulence! I had a bird strike ( and won) near the pool and
You are incorrect. The NG series has a completely different wing than earlier 737s. Additionally, due to the much longer fuselage on the -800 and -900, the aircraft has to be flown significantly faster than aerodynamically necessary to avoid a tail strike. Bug speeds for 30 flap landings at average landing weights in the -800 are in excess of 150 KIAS. We were quite light on this approach.
That HUD is amazing. Its like having a G1000 and being able to look up to look for the airport. Really need to build my hours up so I can get into this already!
Yes, Boeing is great but when you get to this level, it does not matter what you fly. These are artists in the air, any plane would suit them just fine.
The HUD symbols are just a repeater from the PFD. The most difficult part to master is the flight director only because the two circles it makes. Other than that, keeping the loc/gs symbols centered along with the speed bug (narrow triangle on left side of center) and you'll be fairly dead on. Very little headwind, so it's pretty stable.
love the 737! wish I could fly one. would really like to hear from the f/o seat.."V-1 Rotate" and then later 80-60-50-40-30-20-10"....has to be the most fun a person can have
The altitude on the right is the altimeter reading, based on atmospheric pressure. The reading under the floating target is from the radar altimeter, the radar signal from the plane to the ground directly underneath it and back. As you have observed. the radar altimeter is much more accurate.
Standard procedure, to acknowledge each command. It's very important that the pilots are in sync and share information. "Check" means: I heard the command, I conquer or I have control.
The previous answer it totally incorrect. The "checked" call out is to verify that the expected barometric altimeter reading matches the radar altimeter reading at 500 feet AGL.
That HUD is installed in the 737.. It's called HUD as it is a "head's up display" which means that you can have your head up and out the window and get all the information you need on the HUD so you don't have to look down on the instruments.
Wow, that's a lot of information cluttered on that screen - Is there anyway of picking and choosing what you see on the HUD or is all the information fixed?
G11B Yep that's a few of the vital components for a pilot. If you wanted to get more familiar with this aircraft (without having to actually enter the cockpit) you could try the PMDG 737NG sim model (FSX, XPLANE etc) It is an extremely accurate depiction of the aircraft.
+Ross Armstrong Well the heading indicator might not be completly necessary because the HUD is mainly used for takeoff and landing purposes. But, the pilot may get tunnel vision and may only focus on one thing. Altitude, speed and when landing a plane a lot of factors must be considered.
+Ross Armstrong I see nothing but useful info on the screen, once you know what you're looking at it's all things you'd look at anyway but it's in one spot.
The whole point of a HUD is that your head is always up! Looking outside through your instruments! Its not designed for Autolands and Cat 3 approaches, thats what EVS is for! Its designed to increases situational awareness and keep the pilots eyes outside the cockpit! Wish we had them, look like a great tool!
s4ujcd "and don't call me Shirley"... from the movie "Airplane!"... what I wrote was the confused exchange in the cockpit as they did the take off roll...
Not "auto trim" it's the stabilizer trim operating in response to the pilot flying manual command. By that I mean there is a switch on both yokes that when pressed up or down the horizontal stab trim actuator will move the stab and the feedback to the cockpit are 2 wheels and they are connected via cables to the stab's gear box. So the sound you hear is really the stab trim wheels rotating.
No, the spoilers are the same control surfaces that function as the "speedbrake" in the air to slow down hence the layman term "Air Brakes". Similarly, when the speedbrake is deployed in the air you will hear a similar call announcing "speedbrake up"
@Tressiensia I've heard from many pilots different things. Some call them taxi drivers in the air and hate their job while others say we are taxi drivers but I love it. It's a great job to those who want it..
It can be two things depending if you are doing a precision approach or a non-precision approach. In both cases it is the lowest you can descend during your approach without obtaining and being able to maintain visual contact with the runway. In the precision approach case you must immediately execute a missed approach procedure at that point. In the non-precision approach case you are allowed to proceed at that level until visual contact is obtained otherwise you must again execute a goaround
This was filmed from the Captains seat because the NAV source on the HUD indicates ILS1 That wouldn't show up on the First Officers side. The FO is hand flying the airplane while the Captain is filming. It's a hand flown approach, not autopilot flown because the FPV, basically the two circles at the HUD center, are all over the place. With the AP flying the little circle would be centered inside the larger circle throughout the whole approach plus there would be an AP indication on the HUD.
Nice job, amazing that you can hand fly to Cat III mins using the HUD, while other jets have to Autoland with the same wx. Amazing technology for airliners today.
Look at the 2 circles about 1 inch above the altimeter readout. The pilot is able to fly right down to the perfect place on the runway for rollout. It's a beautiful thing.
ttraderjim Sir, that is NOT the glide slope/localizer or ILS indicator. That is called the FPV (Flight Path Vector), in other words its our Flight Director! The glide slope indicator is located to the right on the HUD just left of the altitude indicator. The localizer indicator is located on the HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator/directional gyro) below the ADI (Attitude Direction Indicator). The "altimeter readout" that you are referring to is actually the radar altimeter (AGL; Above Ground Level), the barometric altimeter (MSL; Mean Sea Level) or altitude indicator is located on the right side of the HUD next to the glide slope indicator.
Following the ILS... if you noticed the smaller circle inside the bigger circle in the center of the HUD indicates the aircraft is on the proper glide slope.
im sort of one of 'those people' who were not aware there were vids of actual aircraft, but now that i see this one, i'm gonna start viewing real-life jets a little more as I learn to fly with FSX. Thanks for your post jetjockey. Great vid!
I think I got the HUD figured out. There is A LOT of information being presented there. The left sliding scale is speed in knots, the right is the altitude. The bigger circle is the plane, the smaller circle is the glide slope. The bottom is the heading, the top is bank angle. ILS mean ILS is active, and the numbers above that are miles to the runway. The rest I'd have to study more or have someone point put what they are.
In the Next Gen 737s, it's a flip down HUD that comes down from the top of the cockpit. I believe there are two on each side of the overhead panel, one for the captain, one for the F/O. You're right. Most modern military aircraft have an HUD, including the F-16, F18, F15, etc...
Lots of commercial aircraft have HUD's. Dash-8's and CRJ-700's even. Alaska was the first to use the HUD in passenger ops way back in the 727 days. Also, they are not just for NG's. 737-400's use them as well. You can hand fly a Cat III approach with a HUD as an alternative to autoland. Dash-8's don't have autothrottles, hence no autoland, so without the HUD you can't do a Cat III approach.
Ref speed is the speed at which you should be crossing the runway threshold... Approach speed is the speed usually flown on the approach which is Vref plus some additive, usually 5 knots but as many as 20 knots. So depending on conditions the approach could possibly be flown at ref+20 on a normal day... if you have an engine failure or flap issues ref approach speed could be even higher.
I love watching approaches to LAX when I drive down the 405. Or, actually park on the 405 because I don't think I've ever actually 'driven' on I-405 without any bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go traffic.
It's a stanard set in place in most 'precision' approaches like this one. As these approaches are designed to be used in zero visibility conditions, 'minimums' is the minimum altitude - commonly referred to as decision height - where the pilot will decide if it's safe to land or to abort and try again. In poor visibility it is a requirement that the pilot has the runway in sight when reaching minimums, otherwise to go around.
On UPS B727 we had a decision height of 50 feet when flying HUD with A3 selected. And this was done with Auto pilot off, hence the AP on the B727 was crap. I remember one landing at Lyon where the ground handlers was starring at us in disbelief when we rolled in to the gate after a landing in heavy fog at minimum visibillity.
@mkarnerfors It's the elevator trim. It's pretty noisy and really fast moving wheels that are on both sides of the throttle. Take a look at some other 737 cockpit videos and you will see them.
The minimums, usually 200 feet is the decision height to land. On an ILS approach, you need to have the runway in sight and be flying without the autopilot at minimums. If you dont have the runway in sight at minimums (fog etc) you have to abort the landing.
There is a small transparent glass/plastic screen in front of the windscreen and the information is projected onto it. You can't see it very well because it's night.
Yeah something like that. It's basically like the command bars would be on an older type HUD. The saying used to be fly to the command bars so thats basically whats happening here with the two circles.
Notice the altitude display just under the floating target reticule does not match the altitude ribbon tape on the right side. They must be indicating different measuring points on the aircraft.
@psyjpg I think Southwest found that out if you can remember the very hot approach at MDW Chicago. But usually Flaps can be extended to around 32-33 landing.

Lots of commercial aircraft have HUD's. Dash-8's and CRJ-700's even. Alaska was the first to use the HUD in passenger ops way back in the 727 days. Also, they are not just for NG's. 737-400's use them as well. You can hand fly a Cat III approach with a HUD as an alternative to autoland. Dash-8's don't have autothrottles, hence no autoland, so without the HUD you can't do a Cat III approach.
Wow that HUD is awesome! Apart from all the info you need to land being right there in front of you it's also just so cool!
Ref speed is the speed at which you should be crossing the runway threshold... Approach speed is the speed usually flown on the approach which is Vref plus some additive, usually 5 knots but as many as 20 knots. So depending on conditions the approach could possibly be flown at ref+20 on a normal day... if you have an engine failure or flap issues ref approach speed could be even higher.
My All-Time favorite, Landing. Thanks for sharing, shared.
I love watching approaches to LAX when I drive down the 405. Or, actually park on the 405 because I don't think I've ever actually 'driven' on I-405 without any bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go traffic.
It's a stanard set in place in most 'precision' approaches like this one. As these approaches are designed to be used in zero visibility conditions, 'minimums' is the minimum altitude - commonly referred to as decision height - where the pilot will decide if it's safe to land or to abort and try again. In poor visibility it is a requirement that the pilot has the runway in sight when reaching minimums, otherwise to go around.
If you have an autopilot you have a rudder servo. All modern jet airliners have rudder servos to actuate the control surface.
This is the sort of video I want to like twice
It is an option from Boeing. If installed it can also stowed in the up position.
It is PMDG 737NGX, Experience-X, FS2Crew and FSDreamteam KLAX.
Damn, when it was time to bring it down, not sure if it was the flight control system or the pilot, but it came down in a heartbeat!
On UPS B727 we had a decision height of 50 feet when flying HUD with A3 selected. And this was done with Auto pilot off, hence the AP on the B727 was crap. I remember one landing at Lyon where the ground handlers was starring at us in disbelief when we rolled in to the gate after a landing in heavy fog at minimum visibillity.
@mkarnerfors It's the elevator trim. It's pretty noisy and really fast moving wheels that are on both sides of the throttle. Take a look at some other 737 cockpit videos and you will see them.
This is the only landing a real plane with heads up display video on RUclips! :D
The minimums, usually 200 feet is the decision height to land. On an ILS approach, you need to have the runway in sight and be flying without the autopilot at minimums. If you dont have the runway in sight at minimums (fog etc) you have to abort the landing.
Great stuff.
Thank you.
I believe the scratching sound is from the pitch trim wheels in action.
There is a small transparent glass/plastic screen in front of the windscreen and the information is projected onto it. You can't see it very well because it's night.
Very, very cool! Cheers and blue skies from The Flight Level.
Yeah something like that. It's basically like the command bars would be on an older type HUD. The saying used to be fly to the command bars so thats basically whats happening here with the two circles.
Notice the altitude display just under the floating target reticule does not match the altitude ribbon tape on the right side. They must be indicating different measuring points on the aircraft.
@psyjpg
I think Southwest found that out if you can remember the very hot approach at MDW Chicago. But usually Flaps can be extended to around 32-33 landing.
Awww man. I wish this technology is commonly use in everyday life. It's so awesome.
-100 fpm touchdown. Nice and smooth.
less than -100ft/min at touchdown. Pretty much a "kiss" on the runway. FANTASTIC!
The key here is ILS. 😉
