Great understanding and explanations! This was done with clarity and understanding rivaling many of the instructors / check airman with whom I've trained-better than a few. Some quick comments: * "RNP" is used in different ways in different parts of the world. "AR" is the biggest distinguisher. While reiterating a few of the key points such as radial-to-fix & nav accuracy requirement, the main difference is note number 1 in the briefing strip: Special crew and aircraft certification required. If AR is not mentioned, or note omitted the approach is a basic GPS approach. * VNAV. There are different techniques, but the most common is to set the lowest altitude on the STAR / APPR, select VNAV and monitor the approach while figuring where to go for dinner. Extra bonus points given for verifying the fixes, with restrictions--a step commonly missed (head shaking) in the IRL. ~ Tip: By staying in VNAV, speed protections are in place based on flap position, assuming speeds are posted on the LEGS page, including landing flap, as you did. With this in mind, and VNAV selected, extend the flaps on-schedule and watch the speed bug reduce. Put another way, if landing speed of eg 146 is set on the MCP airplane will target this, regardless of flap position. * AT. I noticed your turning off the auto-throttles about 1,000' AGL; why? With the throttles on, it's one less step if a go-around is needed. Further, imagine the Mr. Toad's wild ride if TOGA buttons are depressed, airplane pitches "up" but the thrust doesn't move... If the rest of your tutorials are done as well as this, you would make a great instructor. Cheers, Sean

Thank you so much for saying that, I’m by no means an airline pilot, but I try my best to get it right to help other beginners like me. Really appreciate the insights. As for the auto throttle, you gotta have fun at some point right :D

I really like your tutorials. I often watch at least twice to make sure I don't miss anything and I watch them all. They are very well done, it is always very clear and the quality of the images is perfect, the editing is excellent. you are my favorite trainer on KZbin. I think I guess that you are a resident of Ontario... I am from Quebec so I translate with the tools that fortunately we have. Thank you for these excellent videos.

Great Stuff, appreciated it. Cheers (Question: when I set the Vref, the my VNAV disconnects and, I see your did not?) why is that, did you enabled it again after selecting Vref, when do you select your Vref on the approach? Thanks

I've seen the words "RNAVY" when planning an arrival in the fmc, what does this mean? It seems to just function as an rnav

@FlightSimSchool 3 ай бұрын

That's just the name of the RNAV, you'll often see RNAV Z, Y, X, etc for runways that have multiple published RNAV approaches

By setting your altitude at 800 feet from the beginning, and not setting the altitude as you pass waypoint by waypoint, by setting the altitude at 800 ft. *now*, aren't you going to bust through all the upcoming altitude restrictions?

I could be wrong but because we’re in VNAV PTH it should respect the restrictions, that’s kinda the point of that mode from what I understand, to follow the path the best it can.
