[gptour17]

thank you so much..impressive tutorial!! thanks for your time!!

[MyVishwakarma]

thanks for the upload.great job.

[dzjinji]

Awesome job. Now I'm ready to tackle my new airplane. Thanks for such a good job.

[royalengland]

Hello I've had the PMDG 747X for quite a while now and I was wondering if you could tell me what those mini green circles represent that appear on the Navigation Display. Thanks

[gcritch33]

Great series of tutorials and essential for any rookie 747 pilots, would have been happy to buy off Amazon

[Beech165]

great tut!

LOL i watched a movie and a applause came up exactly when you did a touchdown.

once again great!

[gummilangbesti]

Are you a professional pilot ?

[WFWomack]

Fantastic series! I've been hoping for years to find a comprehensive tutorial of this sort. It's exactly the kind of training I'd been looking for and not finding. Currently, I'm learning to fly the 737, and its systems are surprisingly similar to the 747. Hats off to you for all the work you put into these!

[seanrsturbo]

This is the best video on how to use the PMDG 747 you've earned a sub

[averredude101]

how does your Outermarker beacon sound? I don`t get a sound

[BatmanYZFr1]

I got this PMDG 747 just for visuals. flew it for less than a day and realized it was so much more. Read the manuals but still felt lost. This vid made so many light bulbs in my head power on in reference to what I was reading. Thanks a bunch for making this tutorial. Understanding and knowledge for execution...outstanding!!!!

[457azazazaz]

so does it came with it's own gpws callouts?

[jordan4541]

you are a real pilot arn't you. you are sooo amazing. i have learnt alot thanks!!!! :)

[Mr747productions]

where do u get the charts from?

[IceManTBG1]

Many thanks! Everything is perfectly explained! Congrats!

[AndreiFSX]

Very good captain perfect tutorial!

[arjennovic]

Hey man,I just wanted to say great tutorial. It's definately the best one out here on Youtube. You're showing us the full flight, and because of this you've answered all my questions about the PMDG 747-400. But I still have one question to you. Where do find that charts? I see that you got a particular chart of EHAM, runway 36C. But I can only find the chart of EHAM showing me everything. So were did you get it? Thanks in advance, and again, best tutorial here on Youtube.

[monster060357]

2 people are never going to be good pilots. Great tutorial btw

[broseinternational]

Awsome tutorial............ the best I've ever seen. Thanks a million for your time.

One question though, at 6:06 the plane was doing 79knots, was that reverse thrust, and did it came automatically.

[meloescher]

@broseinternational

I bumped my throttle quadrant as I was trying to steer the tiller. Oops. They do not automatically come on. Actually reverse is about the only thing not done for you automatically while in autoland.

[CaptEm1]

@meloescher You forgot to set missed app alt and to activate thrust reverses. It's also not allowed to use them below 60kts. Other than that, pretty good tutorial.

[gareththomas088]

awesome tutorial! you should maybe bring out your own dvds and downloads to sell. youd make good money on downloadable vids like that! nice one

[1014eternity]

one question did u hold on anything on the flight or its just auto pilot for everything

[quantomic1106]

"looks like we gonna run over a bus" lol

[DeivizGnu]

¡Thank you very much! from Spain.

[desroi]

lol There's a Drug Dealer aboard! haha Good one. Great tutorial =)

[NowKZR]

YOU'RE THE DRUG DEALER §

Awesome tutorial .. btw.

[711tayfun]

Thanks VERY much!! One of the best trainings ever :)

[rappinCheese]

OMG what a awesome tutorial man. please make moreeeeee

[sjmunoz]

@rappinCheese

when you see tutorials up to part 9, its a real complete tutorial !

not like those tutos that only have 2 parts...

[Kieran1693]

I loled at the "It may be a poilce van, maybe to arrest a drug dealer we have on board"

[hcara]

Absolutely the best 747 tutorial that have ever seen ! I wish you would show those folks at PMDG how to simplify programing the FMC. You resolved a lot of issues made flying the 747 look easy and fun. I'm now a big fan and looking for more of your videos.

[JIMAXair]

I did it! But with the help of the awesome meloesher! Thank You!

[CaptainAri324]

you are awsome, are u a real pilot, sound like u are, Thx, i can land like that now, its so smooth thx

[TheKelvinater]

Nice job. There is nothing more rewarding getting the plane from a cold and dark set up, to taxiing, take-off and flying the route you want it to; and completing the flight by touching down at the other end.

Even more rewarding when you do it in something as complex as this beast! Beautiful piece of engineering.

[NakruF68]

thank you !!!!

[Megavids3]

I think drag required means it wants you to extend your spoilers as you are approaching too fast or too high maybe, excellent useful tutorial

[chtonios]

I have been simming for a bit and would consider myself to be rather mediocre. Recently I've bought the PMDG addon and have been left for answers, even after reading the manuals.

Your video has tied up a LOT of loose ends. Thank you so much for your contribution!

[dakabje]

haha a drugs dealer on board xD

First off all thank you very much for this video, got one question,

When I touchdown, at 80 knots I release reverse thrust, set autobrakes to off and reject spoilers... but it still says the plane using ''brakes'' am I missing something? cause I always end up in the middle of the runway with my brakes (for some reason) still on

[Jonthepilot1]

hey how did you get the ILS frequency automatically entered for yyou in the FMC?

[bashMEA]

where is the landing :xXXXXXXX

[Scote1992]

how come you never used Reverse Thrust and such a high level of autobrakes?

[MityLite]

great tutorial but I noticed one minor thing that you forgot to turn on passengers signs but oh well, thx for the tutorial

[TheBored22]

i watched all 9 parts and it was great. how do u get "PMDG 747". i hate fsx default 747

[mourajini]

@TheBored22 It s a payware you have to buy it.

[darz750]

just great

[guitarjava]

Thank you for an excellent tutorial!

[ggrrc]

Good video! a cool, calm, and creatively narrated presentation, thanks!!!

[Chiorny]

THANK YOU MAN

GREAT JOB !!!!!!

[Chiorny]

You can download PMDG for free from isohunt like I did and everything works great .

[Bondiblu2]

great tutorial! wouldn't it be nice if FSX were more realistic in the way of touch down: u'd notice it remains smooth. wld be nice if the plane shook as it touched down just as a real plane would ... oh well...

[Flyglobespan93]

Thanks alot! These tutorials are the best anyone one will find anywhere! Amazing 2,000,0000,000,000,/ 2,000,0000,000,000

[WebMaxxximus]

Can't do anything but concur with the last person's comment, a truely

great tutorial for PMDS's 747!!

Two minor things though, noticed you were using a TL/

TA of 18.000 ft and also talking about altimeter rather than QNH although flying in Europe but guess you're more used to flying on the left side of

the big swimming pool between us ;-)

...and I hope everything went fine with that drug dealer in the end...;-)

[meloescher]

Yeah, TA is 3000 ft in the Netherlands. I should have set like that. And, yes, QNH and "altimeter setting" are basically the same thing.

[heinz551]

A brilliant tutorial! Most helpful! Many thanks for taking the time out to create and upload it.

This is probably the best tutorial on YouTube, well done!

P.S. The bus thing was pretty funny ;)

[CqWeAkYcAmZ]

same as everyone below, your such a great help i've looked at other tutorials and non f them are as good as your one, thank you so much man!!!

[hismellowness]

Great tutorial. The whole bunch. Compliments. Although I don't do FSX. I'm on a Mac.

Wish PMDG 747-400 was available for X-Plane as well.

[jschanna]

So professional most of the time. Are you a real world 747 pilot?

[ICDWILL117]

Learned a lot! Well spoken and entertaining. Thanks man! rated 5 stars on all vids.

[athopay]

Dude,

Thanks for these 9 vids. I have learned soooo much from them. I loved the series. They were so much better than having to read through the manual.

[dazzmatazzz]

The bus thing cracked me up big time... and amazing tutorial man, cheers

[ForeignAviation]

does it need to be so complicated

[tetter12]

Dude, u are making the best fsx video's/tutorials on youtube.

[roadrunner2131]

Great tutorial, it helped me out a lot to finally program and make a successful FMC flight.

[kilobast1]

great tutorial and just come out of all the questions that i had, great job keep it up.

happy landings.

[Brokeass123]

@miniflyer012,

You can't fly it using IFR. I tried it before.

FSX will give you different climb rates and descent and such.

[miniflyer012]

hi great vids! this has helped me alot!

you know this aircraft has different waypoints and stuff to fsx? does that mean you cant fly IFR on it? tell me if this doent make sense. thanks again!

[rishisb]

Hello Meloescher,

Just wanted to say thank you for making these AWESOME videos. We learn so much from them. Thanks!

-RishiSB

[michelarjuna]

I have a question:

Suppose you fly a 10 hour flight with real wheater, then it isn't possible to plan the descend and approach before the flight because you don't know what the wind strenght and direction will be when arriving...

So what to do? Plan the arrival during the flight just before arrival? Or plan for the runway that is most likely? What do you advice to make a proper approach with considering winds? I hope you understand my question :P

[meloescher]

Plan it through the STAR. Then only the final runway has to be added. You can always change the FMC plan enroute.

Or plan and program based on the forecast and change the approach runway if you have to.

IRL, the controllers will tell you what to when you get in range.

[CaptEm1]

@meloescher You also forgot to let the APU start up before shutting down the engines.

[michelarjuna]

BRAVO

thanks alot for these outstanding videos

[sorted0blud]

maybe we got a drug dealer on board :L

[ravo20]

Great tutorials.. and your flight sim looks amazing!

[BobbyJEL101]

how do you get it to autoflare?

[49nst]

If the A/P is engaged when descending through 1,000 AGL, LAND3 will become active above the artificial horizon on the PFD, it thinks you want to do a CATIIIC approach (note: in CATIIIC there are no miinimums so the plane has complete control until you exit the runway). So the plane does everything by itself, it manages speeds and flies the approach (duh, haha), brings the throttles back to idle, flares, and keeps tracking down the centerline until the A/P is disengaged. All of this is automatic!

[topspotlighting]

Great vid learned a lot thx

Soon I will have my one pmdg 747-400

Humm why should they stop a flight from Amsterdam ??(I live ther my self)

By the way do you now web the new 737ngx by pmdg is gonne com out?

[wikinick257]

"looks like we're about to run over a bus"

lol, amazing vids, thanx

[DarkChaoMan75]

Very good videos! These are great for beginners.

Just a few things though:

Usually VNAV in not used to such a low altitude unless at airports like EHAM at night where they have RNAV paths to follow for each runway.

Also, autopilot is usually disconnected at about 500 ft and the plane is flown manually down to the runway.

Lastly, pilots usually say "armed" instead of "primed."

Very good videos!

[fsxnoob]

Amazin 9 movies, i learnd much of it thnx :)

[zulquarnainanwar]

Great job, your video added a new dimension to my sim flying, i got a 747 and it really helped me to fly that plane.

[aaben123]

Thank you for your help! They are detailed and they are easy to understand. Very good:)

[percboy93]

ur videos is understandable... good job and congrats...=)

[ezporter]

Excellent set of videos, I learned a lot, they are very detailed, excellent job. lol and you must have been carrying contraband from Amsterdam because that van stopped you right on the taxi way.

[t7flyer]

GREAT set of videos

I learnt a lot.

thank youfor your efforts.

[jumboross]

Hi, I saw your link on the PMDG support fourms, I've recently purchased the 744 and am learing how to fly it. I've just watched all 9 tutorials back to back and they were excellent, outstanding in fact. Thank you for taking the time to do them.

James.
