B737-800 ILS HUD

[sinistrotrocas]

What's the airline?

[mechan9]

Do both pilots have a HUD or only the captain?

[TiB522]

@mechan9 Just the capt

[vijaynai03]

Great....

But What kind of display is it. ?

[TiB522]

@vijaynai03

Head up display

[mfrank15]

Love this video. Thanks for posting! Who was holding the camera?

[thestig747]

G'day mate, just wondering what airport this is, looks like runway 01 at YBBN but could be wrong. Cheers

[TiB522]

@thestig747

Yep YBBN 01

[Ilicium]

Amazing. Follow the ball.

[flying19]

which airport is this?

[SamuelChung94]

sixxxxttyy knots...

[Ferarri355]

just had an AIII issue the other day.. LSK will only let you select AIII on approach? 

[TiB522]

@Ferarri355

AIII will only be avail when certain parameters are met eg both ILS receivers tuned to the ILS, both baro alts agree within 50', mag track within 15deg of course etc. Outside this and AIII wont be selectable. Hope this makes sense.

[afgrocks123]

Why did they do an autoland when the minimum was above 300..?

[TiB522]

@afgrocks123

No A/L. Hand flown - A/P went out at about 22 sec.

[afgrocks123]

@TiB522 well donno, cuz the hud was marking A III which pops when you do an autoland...

[TiB522]

@afgrocks123

Not sure what you mean by "pops" but AIII was flashing, indicating that all parameters were in place to allow it to be selected if desired. In this case it was not selected, the HUD was left in primary mode and IMC mode selected at 800'.

But as I said the app was hand flown from about 22 secs - FD is indicated in the FMA top right.

[afgrocks123]

@TiB522 oh ya, i saw the vid carefully and i heard the ap disengage :) thanks for the reply, it was helpful, now i know what to do in my pmdg ngx in fsx XD

[JamieandhisIbanez]

@afgrocks123 you can tell the autopilot was disengaged cos of the noise at 0:22

[afgrocks123]

@JamieandhisIbanez ye, i just noticed.

[DiamondPilotDan]

no offense but IMC mode looks like something i would never want to switch it to, especially in IMC

[peternesbitt]

I've flown many times on a B737 and never had a landing THAT rough!!

[lurchipoo]

cool video dude!!!

[BuBzIeNYNY]

thats as real as it gets

[ertyqwer]

is this actually a HUD (in cabin) or is it a flight recorder camera?

[TiB522]

@ertyqwer

Actual HUD

[Opiuth]

may I ask why "minimums" wasnt called out by the computer?

[TiB522]

@Opiuth

It's not activated. Many readouts are selectable by the aircraft operator to best suit their procedures and requirements.

[ldmoulliac1]

Awesome video. What does the flashing "AIII" at the top left corner mean?

[TiB522]

@ldmoulliac1

It means that AIII mode is available, but not in use. The AIII mode uses inputs from both ILS receivers and other aircraft systems to provide guidence on the ILS and also for the roundout for touchdown, and then the rollout on the groundrun. In theory it can be used to land down to minimas of 0/0, ie full fog, depending on ground based equipment. There is a video showing AIII mode.

[jonny96]

@TiB522 The 737-800 has rollout? I flew the 300 (classic) and we only had 2 autopilots so were CAT 3A only, It didn't control the rudder so we didn't have rollout. Does the NG have 3 autopilots and able to rollout?

[TiB522]

@jonny96

Roll out GUIDANCE. ie hand flown witha guidance cue, which on touchdown changes to lateral guidance left and right to track the LLZ, using rudder pedal and NWS. So no A/P, all hand flown.

[jonny96]

@TiB522 Ahhh I see, Thanks for that! I've got mates at fly dubai on the 800. They say the HUD is a great bit of kit. Very sensitive. So you do manually flown CAT 3A approaches?

[TiB522]

@jonny96

Only in the sim, where it works really well. Ground equipment standards and local regs limit its use but one day...

I believe Alaskan uses it to pretty low minimas, and some European operators, but not sure.

[USofMilitaryPower94]

what does the acronym for HUD stand for?

[FL065]

@USofMilitaryPower94 heads up display

[TiB522]

@USofMilitaryPower94

Yep, head up display, you also see HGS - head up guidence system.

[djomercohen]

the HUD is much easier but not actually necessery, a professional and serious pilot dont need a HUD, it only makes it too easy.

[bbbenjo6]

i wish the piper pa28 i fly had a HUD so much easier

[Timsalt3100]

Smart Idea Boeing with the HUD ! anything to make flying safer i am with you all the way.

[JoaoBatist4]

Landing at 136 knots

[stevegauth30]

can you see, or even use the HUD in the daytime?Awesone video, hope to see more. thanks

[TiB522]

@stevegauth30

Yes the brightness is adjustable. A couple of the videos are in daylight.

[dano94]

at :59 did the computer say radial altimeter or radio altimeter? Also what does that mean when it says it? Great vid also!

[TiB522]

@dano94

Radio Altimeter. The rad alt becomes active at 2500 feet above ground. You can see the digital readout appear just below the boresight showing "2500" and then reduce as the approach progresses. It is completely independant of the barometric altitude shown on the scale on the right side of the display.

[dano94]

@TiB522 Thank you for explaining that sir

[MrBryan86]

Nice!!

[elfynh1]

What you can see isn't the HUD disappearing. Its the edge of the glass it is projected onto. If you don't look from the right angle you cant see all of the HUD display. This video is of a 737 modeled in FSX, but it demonstrates well the way your viewing angle effects the HUD.

PMDG 737NGX HUGS (head-up guidance system) Demo

[americanflyyer]

@elfynh1 just to verify (english isn't my native language): are you saing this video is from FSX?

Because if that IS what you are saying, then that's wrong! That is definitely real life.

[TiB522]

@americanflyyer

Just to confirm guys (and girls), its a real 737-800.

I posted these videos as a lot of people on the PMDG site seemed interested in the details of the HUD, as they are about to release their new 737NG

flight sim.

[elfynh1]

@americanflyyer This video isn't from FSX. The one i mentioned (PMDG 737NGX HUGS (head-up guidance system) Demo) is from FSX

[Skipper56270]

Very nice video, thx

[dudeiwantaname]

how come u can see the HUD desapear and the background come upfront like that?

[bo31n9]

What airline did you fly on?

[amandahiya94]

tis is fsx or 2004?



[2R0bin0]

@amandahiya94 Obvious real life...

[happyturtle18]

@amandahiya94 its real life dude

[amandahiya94]

@happyturtle18 oh...lol....so hw did u record it then?

[FIREFLYCLASS]

beautifull!

[RotationFSX]

Great video :)

[Moki1123]

Nice thanks for sharing!
