PMDG NGX Funchal Madeira English Tutorial Takeoff and Visual Approach 05

[SubSevenHacker]

Bravo - that is the only word I can say to you, good Sir :)

[JamesB767]

Amazing video! Please do more English tutorial's!!!! :D

[OmerMaz757]

You must be a real 737 pilot if you fly like that :)

Very nice

[Joujoufsx]

thanks for your amazing video. It's really handsome!! How do you do to have a flight sim' that doesn't bug when you flight?

[Kazzukki]

I forgot to ask this one: do you use TOPCAT or some other company specific / Boeing's software for take-off performance calculations?

[skysurfer007]

@Kazzukki

Our company specific software.

[skysurfer007]

@TheMinimalover

With FSX by using the Pedals.. in the real plane with the steering wheel on the captains side.

[Alfons66666]

Super Video! Die Landung ist klasse! Ich dachte erst du rammst in den Boden, aber du hast sie super weich abgefangen. Sowas habe ich noch nie hinbekommen. Oft wenn ich sie abfangen will steigt sie wieder einige Feet nach oben und ich schwebe über der Bahn. Kannst du mir sagen welche Steuerung du benutzt und wie du sie im FSX konfigurierst? Danke

AND NOW LET IN RUSSIAN

@iarteem

No probs ;)

[JoelPB94]

Is it not real world procedure to test any of the overhead functions such as the window overheat test or the flap position lights test (the lights next to the IRS)? You test the systems on the center console but nothing on the overhead section.

[skysurfer007]

@JoelPB94

Not in my company..

[MrDarkuser1]

@ bcwlim I too am a real world pilot and a 737 Captain. In my earlier post I said that the Center tank pump should be turned on instead of the NO.1 AFT fuel pump. Now I'll give you the reason...the a/c will most likely develop a fuel imbalance at the gate if the crew chooses the the NO.1 AFT fuel pump for extended APU usage. This can be avoided by doing as I have suggested, If your PMDG 737 is modeled correctly, try it and you will see. And as I said to skysurfer, gd tutorial and FMC usage.

[skysurfer007]

@MrDarkuser1

For APU usage different company´s have different pump procedure´s. Some instruct the pilot to turn on the No1. FWD pump because of the less expensive maintenance costs on the FWD compared to the AFT No.1. Some company´s leave don´t specify a certain No1. pump. No procedure I´ve seen so far uses the center pump for the APU as long as the center tank is empty. Anyway with inspected pumps the pump would not operate with empty center tank because of the automatic shutoff logic.

[MrDarkuser1]

@skysurfer007 I stated that there is no need to turn the center tank pump on if it is empty. This however is not about company policy, but merely intended to provide an insight into realistic flying (as you have done). Surely you must agree that the center tank pumps have a higher output pressure than wing tank pumps. Turning on the center tank pump will prevent a fuel imbalance while the a/c is at the gate, as the APU draws fuel. Based on the fuel system do you agree?

[skysurfer007]

@MrDarkuser1

I agree. Thanks.

[MASA92190]

Watching this video, I was able to go from not knowing how to do anything at all in PMDG with the FMS (let alone the other systems) to being able to use both LNAV and VNAV. Thanks a bunch! Oh, and your English is better than most native speakers.

[skysurfer007]

@MASA92190

Nice to here that, thanks!

[gloxt]

Das Tutorial scheint sich eher für jene zu eignen die sich schon gut im NGX Cockpit auskennen. Das fängt schon bei der Bedienung des Overhead Panels an, mit dieser seitlichen Sicht, man kann die Labels der Schalter usw gar nicht lesen.

Im Endeffekt fliegt hier ein Pilot im Sim und kommentiert lediglich seine Arbeitsschritte, ich würde auch mal ein Tutorial toll finden in dem beschrieben wird WARUM dieses und jenes jetzt gemacht wird und wie man das berechnet...

[skysurfer007]

@gloxt

Stimmt, ich demonstrier einfach die normale Arbeit.. Einausführliches Tutorial ist halt sehr aufwändig.. man weiß nicht wo anfangen und wo aufhören weil doch schon einige Jahre an Training drin stecken...

[zonavelha]

very good

[aegeanathens]

echt tolles video!!!!!

[AGFSXMD90]

sex

[MinecraftFlight]

woher bekommt man diese checklisten? oder bin ich blind und die sind dabei? =)

[MrFabre95]

You are very speed on taxiway !

[papatango1234]

Do you use track ir to pan around?

[skysurfer007]

@papatango1234

No, just the space key on the keyboard.

[rohanA380]

how did you get the terrain data on the ND display?

[MrDarkuser1]

A well done tutorial, except for a few small errors. In the real world small errors can lead to big problems. I see numerous flt simmers, turn on the NO.1 AFT fuel pump when starting the APU. The APU uses suction to draw fuel from the NO.1 tank. The center fuel pumps have a higher output pressure than the main tank pumps, it is advisable to turn on the L center tank fuel pump ONLY for extended APU use.

There is no need to turn on the Main tank pump if center tank is empty. Keep the tuts coming

[TeamLeftMatch]

@MrDarkuser1 actually, all pumps should be turned on during cockpit preparation

[bcwlim]

@MrDarkuser1 except skysurfer is a realworld 737 pilot...

[Leffe49]

Very nice! Your videos are really great! Also hoping I can learn some of this.

[tunicana]

Great professional video...thanks from canada bro

[Abdu7099]

Many thx for the Professional work .. greetings from KSA

[bluekillz1994]

How did you make the plane do a cold and dark start?

[skysurfer007]

@bluekillz1994

I switched it off and saved it..

[Ljubo46]

you did this on professional way, + you have experience on that airport.

[skysurfer007]

@Ljubo46

Thanks... I´ve been there several times... but unfortunately I´m not allowed to to the landing as first officer...

[sghost77]

you can make one in spanish??? thnaks

[skysurfer007]

@sghost77

sorry unable..

[Kazzukki]

This was definitely one of the best videos considering PMDG 737 NGX. Please provide us more videos concerning efficient usage of FMC and aircraft systems. Your english is very fluent and easy to understand.

I think that some folks missed those little FMC adjustments that you made before decent / approach. Summa summarum: superb!

[skysurfer007]

@Kazzukki

Thanks! I will!

[cory1337]

Did the SP1 update improve reality in the FMC? I know there was like 200 changes but I would like to see a SP1 review from you :)

[uptheirons84]

Great video!!! I love it. I'm waiting for the next...

[timflightx]

This is how it goes in reallife?

[gamerniki]

@timflightx i think so :D he is a real (co-)pilot

[lennykarat]

Very good...thanks

[q4dez]

very good approach and smoth landing :)

[TheLiVeLiFe2011]

so guys this is flight simulator huh hmm interesting but difficult i never get one thing how the fuck you pull all those buttons so you can be able to fly the airplane only that

[NoWarningable]

Excellent video mate, great to see real world procedures used

[RotationFSX]

Im so impressed with this.

1) You're English is A1

2) I followed and flew your tutorial & knowing it was done by a 737 pilot was amazing..

3) I've liked and Subbed. Please do some more. This was a real eye opener.

Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[skysurfer007]

@RotationFSX

Thanks so much!

[boyagenius]

You a real pilot, could you tell me is the PMDG 737 ngx close to real? And thank you for the tutorial, it was very helpful!

[737BoeingFan]

not the best start up procedure, but everythin other then that is great, good job ;)

[0Artur0]

Great video!

Your comments and English are perfectly OK.

[RotationFSX]

Fantastic video..

[djtalbotofficial]

Amazing! Are you a real pilot by any chance? Because this is so damn accurate! Keep it up! :D

[boostedscim]

really cool videos! keep them coming

[FlyingFsxDe]

danke dass du meinen vorschlag umgesetzt hast :)

[skysurfer007]

@FlyingFsxDe

War ne super Idee ;)

[FlyingFsxDe]

@skysurfer007 wenn du lust hast kannst du dir ja mal meinen anflug auf madeira auf meinem channel anschauen :)

[skysurfer007]

@FlyingFsxDe

super geflogen!

[FlyingFsxDe]

@skysurfer007 dankeschön ;)

[AviadorLPA]

Awesome videos, I love them, make more!! Greetings from Gran Canaria.

[juanga251]

it will be good if you do a live Skype tutorial

[juanga251]

nice videos you have, but can you do it more closer the camera position thanks!!!

[oOxtozOo]

Danke für die tollen Videos!

Es ist immer wieder schön anzusehen, dass auch RL-Piloten noch eine Leidenschaft fürs Simmen haben.

Wenn man wirklich seine ,,Arbeit" mit nach Hause nimmt und diese gleichzeitig als Hobby hat, ist das ein wahres Anzeichen für Motivation an diesem tollen Beruf.

Für mich ein großer Motivationsschub mich nun endlich auch für den DLR-Test zu bewerben!

[clawoftiger84]

@LufthansaDAIGO i guess that you can create a new waypoint in the legs page which is 2.9 nm before (thats why -2.9) FUN.

[LufthansaDAIGO]

Thank you very much for investing so much time and effort to do such a video.

I have a question. What is it all about with this "FUN/-2.9"? I mean that FUN is a waypoint, but for what does the -2.9 stand for? You have made major changes during flight (in the LEGS) page, unfortunately I was not able to follow/understand it properly. And I also know that it is very stressful to create a video like this, but could you do another to explain the above-mentioned, Please? :-)

You got my utmost respect!

[MrDarkuser1]

@LufthansaDAIGO Along–track waypoints are entered using the waypoint name (the place), followed by a slash and minus sign, for points before the waypoint, or no minus sign for points after the waypoint, followed by the mileage offset for the newly defined waypoint. The created waypoint is then inserted over the original waypoint. Example:

• FUN/-2.9 is 2.9 miles before FUN on the present route/track, and is displayed as FUN01 in the FMC.

[sib1981]

mate, that vid was amazing. Loved the way you were so comfortable with all the NGX systems and checklists. Very impressed and looking forward to the next one already. Cheers from London :-)

[qawsedrftg1045]

Hast du in der Realität eine Lizenez für Madeira?

[skysurfer007]

Thank you very much for all your kind comments! That motivates me to continue with the videos :)

[pipotherium]

@skysurfer007 awesome :)

[diegodaudt]

@skysurfer007 Hey SkySurfer, can you do a startup only tutorial? Like only showing how to start up the plane but not the FMC set up? Thanks.

[murigerick]

@skysurfer007 Thank you so much for your tutorial,probably i haven't seen it but i just wanted to you to make a full flight so that you can show us how to do a step climb. Greetings from Kigali(Rwanda)

[skysurfer007]

@murigerick

Hey, usually in real world with the 737 we wait until the maximum altitude in the CRZ page shows a level about 500 oder 700 above the level we want to climb and than we ask ATC for that level.. No big deal. Greetings to Kigali from Montreal :)

[fespezim]

@skysurfer007 I´m brazilien and have the PMDG737NGX800/900. How can nou get this completelly panel showed? And where I can get the Funchal airport textures?Very good and instruction video! Muito bom mesmo!
