Autopilot and ILS Approach | Boeing 737 800 Zibo Mod | X Plane 11

[@Nathecatt]

This is the best and most in-depth tutorial that's actually all-in-one. Perfect tutorial by a landslide.

[@Troutman003]

This video ought to go big. People need these tutorials!

[@billygoat515]

Man this video explained a lot. You used terminology that is understandable and not over people’s heads. You explained a lot thank you!

[@jamie1453]

So cool for us MSFltsim beginners. Could grasp 50% but each level of learning is really a milestone in my own head! Need to watch this VDO about 20 more times. Love it! Thank you for such a great learning tool!👍

[@MicahMesser]

You are most welcome, Jamie!

[@gk3452]

As a beginner trying to understand the basics of this aircraft, this focused tutorial was a million times more useful than any full flight tutorial. I would really like to see such detailed tutorials about each instrument panel, process, etc. For example, I have been watching various tutorials about the 737 now, this would be my fourth day of non-stop watching, yet no one has bothered to explain what all the knobs and dials on the panels are for. Everyone keeps going over the same four five controls in every video. It would be greatly appreciated if you could break down other panels and functions in the cockpit in a similar fashion. Thank you once again.

[@Paul-td8qs]

An outstanding tutorial, Micah. The 'mistakes' were just as informative as the rest of it. Fortunate the pilot who can learn from his/her mistakes. Many thanks.

[@MicahMesser]

Thank you! Learning from mistakes is my specialty

This is the most underestimated tutorial for how to fly AP and ILS approach on ZIBO B737. I've been flying this amazing plane for a while but still found here some stuff I didn't know about. Tank you Micah.

[@andersonhorta3938]

One of the greateset tutorials I've seen here on youtube, well explained and very clear ! Congratulations sir !

[@MicahMesser]

Thank you, the compliment is much appreciated!

[@noahbruttomesso6036]

Your tutorials are the best, and are the only ones that can teach me

[@bobblack4604]

I've been frustrated with the auto pilot in the zibo mod and have stuck mainly to flying the A320 which has a much more intuitive and simple autopilot system- this tutorial has helped a lot.

[@twinsy67]

BEST TUTORIAL EVER , really clearly explained and understandable, thanks

[@shaharvazana]

One of the best tutorials ever made, it really make things bright and simple. First time that I really understand what each button is intented doing. Thanks a lot!

[@MeanderingMotoMonk]

Very well done. Concise, easy to follow and thorough! Thanks!

[@MicahMesser]

You are welcome!

[@pbr2805]

Great!! It will take a lot of practice to master the nav. system.. Take a little at a time and keep going over it to improve.

[@xMIGHTYx]

The best tutorial I’ve ever seen . Thanks :)

[@MicahMesser]

Thanks!

[@Paul-Mellow]

Thank you for your great tutorials mate I've just subscribed to you as I've been looking for some time to explain how to start the zibo 737 800 thanks to you I have succeeded after many weeks of trying to start it lol well thanks mate great video

[@mikebaker7663]

THAT was the best video i have seen with regards to auto pilot and ILS approach , thank you, I need to search out you FMC tutorial, im amazed... Subscribed to this channel no question...

[@Exploratorium360]

One of the best ! Tutorial out there on KZbin. 👍👍👍 Thanks. Good Job !

[@firatutku38]

thanks bro.we will wait same explain for a320 or toliss a319 mcdu and ıls approach

[@hotbug94]

Great video I learn an understand a lot of stuff about the Zibo, Thanks a lot !

[@MicahMesser]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thecommentator6694]

Fantastic video, thanks! I'm still very much a beginner but I did understand a few of the auto pilot features and how to do an ILS approach, but I wasn't clear on a few things and this video has filled the gaps. I didn't realise you had to set the runway course in order to do an ILS landing, it explains many of my 'what the hell is it doing?!' moments :D

[@EWForbess]

Nice video with clear explanations! Just one suggestion if I may -- you make a lot of references to "VOR LOC". Viewers who are trying to learn the basics might possibly be understanding this to be "VOR lock" and miss the point that the "LOC" is a reference to localizer, not solely "locking" onto a VOR. Nice explanations, though -- keep it up!

[@EvoInspirational]

I’ve got it now I forgot to set the course thank you

[@MicahMesser]

You are welcome!

[@Jacobdead]

Think i found my mistake on why the ILS was not working (course select and using VOR LOC at first). We'll see when I try it again. Thanks! subbed

[@philipmessedger481]

Excellent tutorial. As serious as entertaining.

[@christianziegler6158]

Great video guy. Very well done 👌👌👌👍👍

[@scottwoods7231]

Approach checklists are imperative. All of the items such as landing lights, armed spoilers and other configurations would have been handled. FS2Crew has a fantastic software with a virtual co-pilot that handles all of these things to allow the PIC to "fly the aircraft". Otherwise, nice touch.

[@billymog]

That was a great tutorial sir... Learnt a lot from that. Thanks for posting

[@d3zd3z]

VOR/Localizer, not VOR "lock". It works with either a VOR or a localizer (which is what you are using here).

[@olliecole7163]

Amazing video. Thank you

[@tomb8430]

Excellent video that finally helped me understand why VNAV was not working for me. What maps do you import into that AVITAB plugin?

[@MicahMesser]

I don't important any maps. I own a subscription to Navigraph where I pull charts through that plugin.

[@Borndiagram]

This was an awesome video thank you Micah awesome thank you

[@attyrorylodge]

SO IN DETALE YOU ARE BEST

[@victorm316]

This is so great. The trouble I have is finding the waypoints and what info to put in the fmc

[@hamidsh4789]

Nice and Informative thanks

[@andreif.6100]

Thanks man! Had to refresh my memory after leaving MSFS2004 some 5-6 years ago with almost 500 hours in vatsim on this model alone, and now doing circles in KBFI in xplane mobile on 738 :) But where the hell is TOGA switch there on the mobile model version lol :)

[@The.Chiefman]

Great work Thanks for the tutorial

[@Malloriak]

Hello, i am using Zibo mod, and approaching airport in VNAV/LNAV mode. But plane doe not descend on FMS waypoints restrictions no by changing altitude on MCP. It starts to descend only on level chage mode.. What i do wrong. On VNAV+LNAV mode it is ony following heading and speed

[@alfietuerto]

that video rocks! Than you!

[@Dmilnes007]

quick question on your FMC you have flight hight data i dont seem to get that so i cant seem to switch my VNAV on any ideas ?, i using simbrief for my flight plans.

[@MicahMesser]

Have you put all your weight and balance in the second INIT page? Have you aligned your IRS?

[@najimann_]

Do you have airbus? Can u do a tutorial on how to setup the mcdu? with details. show your simbrief so i can see what u doing and i can follow what u doing. Sorry im bad at explaining lol

[@MicahMesser]

It's on the list. After I complete the 737-800 I plan to do the Airbus A320

[@najimann_]

@@MicahMesser Alright. glad to hear that my friend. thank you

[@antuan734]

What if I don't have Zibo? Does this video still apply? And what exactly is Zibo?

[@wholewizard9540]

Hey, great tutorial. I just wanted to know how to get the runway charts that say the altitude for the G/S intercept for free, because navigraph gives it paid and I cant buy it. Plus how to set MPC altitude

[@MicahMesser]

Skyvector.com for U.S. charts

[@wholewizard9540]

@@MicahMesser thanks a lot, I'm aspiring to be a pilot and this really helps me get an understanding of an aircraft... even if it's on a mouse!

[@Pickers19725]

Great video but why do you maneuver the flaps when you are descending can't the autopilot do that for you?

[@MicahMesser]

No. Flaps are only lowered by the pilot.

[@danielcarter9525]

What plugins do you use? I notice at your cruise altitude looking out the window there is almost a haze over the ground giving the effect you're at a high elevation. I feel like cursing on X-plane for me almost does not feel like I am high over the ground. I guess I have like zero haze which gives a very unrealistic look to the ground when flying at high altitudes.

[@SR-mp4mo]

Which screen recording software are you using to record x plane 11

[@MicahMesser]

OBS Streamlabs

[@karimkhalil9390]

Amazing tutorials ! Youre the only source i was able to properly learn from after searching so long and watching so many videos ! Can i use the Lnav and Vnav all the way down to glide slope at 1,900 without using the other speed and descent options ? Yesterday my aircraft wasnt descending properly towards the airport, maybe its because i didnt input the altitude to 1,900 on the panel before TOD ?

[@MicahMesser]

That's why it wasn't descending. Have to decrease MCP ALT before TOD. You can use VNAV all the way down.

[@deltaflightsimmer3327]

Thank you!

[@rterrero05]

Great video, loved the explanation and details. I have an issue with AP, I set up my FMC to the teeth and still can't get it to engage. I align the FD and still as soon as I click on CDM it does not engage even having VNAV and LNAV on, can somebody help me???

[@MicahMesser]

One thing: make sure when you select CMD A that you do NOT have any pressure on the flight controls. Otherwise it will kick you right back off.

[@rterrero05]

Micah Messer I tried that and still shut off right away, I have no idea what’s going on.

[@MicahMesser]

@@rterrero05 If it is activating then disconnecting immediately, that has always been my problem. If there is an issue with the FMC, it won't engage (LNAV or VNAV wouldn't engage either.

32:25 your input to put the ILS is different from my one on zibo mod where do i find the same as yours plesae

[@TheZeroSynergy]

quick question, my nav panels look different then yours? mine has like a numpad next to it. which version/update are you using?

[@MicahMesser]

3.38.41 - I don't know what the most recent is.

[@mathisr.44]

When I decend, it says drag required. I put my speed brakes up and my plane goes haywire. Was I supposed to do that?

[@yos3234]

LNAV and VNAV wont work, it turns on and turns off. any solution?

[@MicahMesser]

Usually means you have the FMC incorrectly programmed or not executed. Check out this tutorial to make sure you have done everything correctly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKq5hYmtgapmZqcsi=Yzgmqq-x7QPBGMWq I would go through all three videos of this series.

[@DavidVerret]

Never heard magenta pronounced that way lol

[@maxwayy]

how did you add those green circles

[@TheXboxlover1]

Maxwell guess you’re talking about ones around the destination airport? You add them under the “Fixes” tab in the FMC. You just put in the airport or waypoint and beneath it enter the distance you want the circles around the airport. E.g doing /5 will put a circle 5nm around the airport

Mannasah Muzika What i7 do you have? X-Plane is really CPU heavy

[@mannasahmuzika7869]

TheRetroAviator intel i7 9 generation

[@theretroaviator3171]

Mannasah Muzika Try running X-Plane with everything else closed, having even 5 tabs open can really affect your FPS

[@joaotorgal]

Why does not the aircraft say "retard" when land?

[@MicahMesser]

Because its a boeing aircraft. Airbus and new boeing's have that feature.

[@holdingpointaviation]

Same in MAX?

[@MicahMesser]

No. Same principle but the avionics are different.

[@Bismark9644]

It is speed intervention, not interval. It is used to over ride the FMC speed.

[@MicahMesser]

I actually correct myself later on. :)

[@Bismark9644]

It is clear you are clearly not a 737 pilot and have made a number of errors in explaining the MCP.

[@MicahMesser]

When did I make the claim I was a real 737 pilot?

[@Bismark9644]

@@MicahMesser I'm sorry, it is clear you are not a 737 pilot. But what you are is someone who is making training videos on how to pilot a 737. I suggest you watch a few videos by Flightdeck2sim and then produce your "training" videos.

[@Kawicraze]

Bismark9644 Micah has never claimed to be a real 737 pilot. It is true that Flightdeck2sim is in fact a real 737 pilot, however, Micah has helped many of us elevate our sim game and is easy to understand. Instead of posting negative comments on his channel when he is trying to give back to the flight sim community, don’t subscribe or watch is content.
