MCC course on Boeing 737

A short clip showing a few scenes of one of my earlier flights on the full motion 737 simulator for my MCC training at the Oxford Aviation Academy.
By the way, should you wonder why on the first take off it took so long to set take off thrust, it was because I accidentally hit the A/T disengage button. We sorted it out and went on our way. The second take off you see is the way it should be done :-)

I also have a clip of an emergency landing with one of the main gears up...maybe when I have a little more time I will upload that as well.

Hope you enjoy and it will give you a bit of an insight into what goes on in the cockpit.

Why did you go around? Was there no visual at the decision height?

@PSPmaster321 It is part of the training to practice several go-arounds from DH. This was such a case. At the beginning they give you visuals, but later in the training you stay in cloud/fog the whole time making it a bit more difficult.

Why after deciding not to land you immediately took the flaps up to 15°? Wouldn't you lose a lot of lift at low speed?

Thanks!!! ^_^

@jonji260280 When you decide to do a go-around you have to immediatly get rid of some of the flaps as otherwise the aircraft won't climb. The first few stages of flaps will give you lots of lift and little drag, the last few stages will give you very little lift and a lot of drag. Thats why you go for flaps 15 not flaps up, that would be too dangerous. Hope this exp[lains it a bit.

@HKS134 On the left is the left is the PIC. You can have two captains on one flight which means the PIC will be left as well. One sector one guy is the PF the othr the PM, then you switch. In many ways there is no such thing as a co-pilot and a pilot. you both do exactly the same, just on different sectors. It is just in certain situations when the final call lies with the PIC.

@fsclips Example if I become cpilot can I sit in right as pilot not co-pilot

Why is PM keeping her hand on the throttle after v1? isn´t SOP to continue the take off no matter what happens?

Thanks @fsclips, look forward to seeing that emergency landing sometime too!

Great! Looks like the gear lever is rather heavy :)

@fsclips that's great thanks!!
