PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Tutorial 9: Climb to Cruise Level

[@mancooncrest835]

Amazing...more "real pilot stuff" to be learned. I love all that "10 Checks" and " The reverse L technique" things. For a sim only pilot like me, this is immersion level 3000! Love it!

Let’s go man I still can’t believe that it’s coming out next weekend if there’s no delays it brings an smile in my face

[@eucalyptustea8236]

Ah nice, they have added the Trimwheel sounds

[@A330Driver]

yep, but still work in progress. They're not final yet.

[@andrewbolton7797]

I was thinking that, but no movement of the wheel as of yet?

[@BravoMike14]

Thank you very much for the excellent informations.

[@cshrii5878]

Another interesting video, thank you.

[@Ohmmshoo]

Where is the option for those circular fuel gauges with the numbers inside? The ones I've seen are just numbers. I like it!

[@hairsiluet]

Great video! 🛫💪🏻🤩

[@captainzeppos]

Regarding the max bank angle and how we should set it to 10 after FL300, I think it's something done in other aircraft as well. However I just found out that "it will only limit the bank angle in HDG SEL and VOR LOC modes, not LNAV". Which seems to be true, as I just used max bank angle 10 for the very first time at FL390 and the aircraft didn't respect it and banked 25+ degrees. So what's the use of HDG/VOR-only as I expect we'll be flying under LNAV 99% of the time in such high altitudes. It sounds that LNAV is automatically taking care of high angles in high altitudes.

Loving your videos dude, the PMDG 737 is awesome I thought it would be really hard to get to grips with, but you definitely help understand it.

[@qppain_killer44]

thank you cap , im learning a lot from you 🙏🙏

[@A_Vitae]

Can you explain the step climb function a little bit on the next video? How to use and how to plan a step climb?

[@A330Driver]

yep, that'll come in the cruise part!

[@chrismorgan2603]

Hi, this is a really great series, I’ve learnt so much from these videos. Thank you so much. Is the 121.5 frequency a standard emergency frequency? Or is that dependant on your location?

[@A330Driver]

Standard in all of the world

[@thomashartmann9174]

My vertical speed does not go higher than 1500. Is that something I need to set in my FMC or how should I go about it?

[@ricardosands6155]

Hello Emanuel once again great videos just having a problem figuring out what order these should be watched in is it possible to arrange the play list in order was trying to figure out a way to sort it but can’t find any on KZbin some of the tutorials have duplicate numbers and some don’t have numbers at all getting confusing

[@A330Driver]

The normal operations tutorials for a standard A to B flight should all have correct numbers and should be in a playlist already in the correct order. At least that's what I see on the channel. The other tutorials that deal with certain systems or give background knowledge don't have any numbers on them since they don't belong into any particular order.

[@CMBelite-FR]

Thanks for the video, is it. Normal to hear the trim wheel sounds meaning that the aircraft was continuously trimming in the video ?

[@sailwesterly5444]

Certainly; during any changes to V/S (as our Captain was - whilst demonstrating the 3-2-1 Rule) and as the aircraft levels at Cruise Alt - the trim would be making almost constant adjustments. As indeed would you if you were hand-flying the aircraft.

[@A330Driver]

In the current version the AP does a bit too much trimming, thus you hear the sound more often than in the real plane. But it's really still work in progress, nothing is final about that yet.

[@dsdsdsdsdsds3139]

nice one thanks - i noticed you keep manually adjusting the 'heading' on the a/p mcp - even though lnav is engaged? is this just 'house keeping' to keep the mcp heading matched to approx lnav? sorry if ive missed this bit

[@A330Driver]

There are several reasons for keeping the heading bug in sync, some of them include: - Ability to quickly set a new heading if required by ATC, especially the famous "turn 5 or 10 degrees left/right" - Ability to go to HDG SEL quickly if LNAV acts up (or both FMCs fail) It really becomes second nature to keep the heading bug in sync for Boeing pilots.

[@dsdsdsdsdsds3139]

@@A330Driver excellent thanks for the reply - all makes perfect sense!

[@IAMinCOMMAND32]

Trim sounds are there, but oh my do they need adjusting. That constant grinding noise that lasts 3/4ths of a second is so annoying hahaha!

[@A330Driver]

Yep, they most certainly do. There's currently a LOT going on behind the scenes to improve those. It's only a first version and still highly work in progress.

[@YokeJoke]

PMDG neds to simulate hail damage please! always nice surprises onse in a time or to just trigger the effect on the aeroplane.

[@A330Driver]

haha, I'd be happy if we got birdstrikes already! But not yet, who knows what may come in the future.

[@mikelandry2007]

QUESTION: If there is fuel in the center tanks, why must the fuel pumps remain off until FL 100?

[@A330Driver]

To avoid nonsense master cautions from fuel moving in the tanks and temporarily running the pumps dry.

[@mikelandry2007]

@@A330Driver thank you

[@donaldcampbell9219]

Where are we going?

[@A330Driver]

Same route as used in all tutorials: STN - DUB

[@haditavangar2677]

Hello captain . some people say that FS2020 does not have a correct flight Behaviour and its flight model is not true . whats your Idea as a real pilot ?

[@A330Driver]

Well, NO simulator has a "true" flight model. Even in the full flight simulators you can easily tell that it's a computed flight model and it does behave different than the real airplane. It is good for what you can do in a sim, probably among the best in MSFS. And the MSFS flight model is quite a bit better than the P3D model. X-Plane may feel a bit better but lacks behind in so many other ways.
