Boeing 737NG Cockpit Preparation

[@golfcharlie232]

This is a video from FLIGHT LEVEL 350 web site !! Why did you put your name on that video? that's not your video !

[@xovux]

i am 18 since some days... i started flying at 16, i did my solo at 17, and i am currently on croos country. man, this thing is hard, but i love it, so i will continue, i want to become an airline pilot, but i am taking flying and univ at the same time, and wow... you can imagine.

[@CountNadir]

well I've also flown in real life and flight simulator, and it is quite close even if not the same. That's the purpose of flight simulator to help learn the real thing as seen in the video, however in real life, the aviation regulations restrict your flying whereas in FS you can fly as you please.

[@FsxAv8r91]

I had the chance to fly at the jumpseat from Braunschweig to Hannover (Germany) (just 15min) in a A318. You need connections, I did an internship at a big German concern's air service :-)

[@asia1mage]

Some are memory items, some you can do the procedure by the checklist.

[@FrancescoVenturelli]

the 737NG is the real think, the 737NGX is the ultra-realistic addon for flight simulator x of the 737ng. nonetheless just a simulation

[@GlucoseYummy]

The X after NG shows that it is for FSX

[@bruno84]

I´ve heard of things that seemed much more unlikely than that and still happened.

[@joshuanesbit]

@asia1mage is that -800?

[@andy4b767]

I try to be as accurate as possible to real world procedures in the NGX.

[@RadioBambiluna]

For sure he fly better than me but please read normal procedures...and ask the first officer what leg do he wants to fly ;)

[@bobdonovan34]

For the FS NGX drivers who believe they can land the real aircraft, you might consider the environment of a moving aircraft, with real wind, noise, bumps, ATC changing every plan you have. Winds change every second (not on 10 minute updates). Add a dirty windscreen, a cold left hand and constant bumps for 3 hours. And that's when things are going well. A few bells and alarms in the cockpit and a wind-shear alert and you might be toast in 5 seconds. There's more to it than knowing the switches.

[@JMsoo]

Gosh I live my pmdg ngx!! You can the checklist is exactly the same including the missed parts from the captain, also all the switch are available including stall and speed warnings and fire alarm check!! If you looking for a proper virtual fligh experience take it!!

[@guitargrinder1]

" I forgot this part......" haha. i feel safe in his hands!

[@inkjets1]

Made me laugh "Oh... I forgot that panel", hope he remembers the next time he flys !! Good video though, very interesting

[@ItalyBLUE]

Ha lol an experienced pilot: "sorry I forgot this part".

[@CraZy291]

+Italy BLUE LOL, at least he noticed it!

[@THYB737]

They are humans too

[@airsportguns]

Damn! and i tought my bike was hard to preparate!

[@JSAirways]

I wouldn't say that they look like "alien" spaceships, but the cockpits shure do look very cool!! Btw, i have a question concerning the fuel tanks. Is the crossfeed valve open at all times? I thought it was only if there is an imbalance in the fueltanks. And in my flightsim the fuel pump switches are usually switched off.

[@freakybuzz]

It's not as bad as it may seem. He was a real "sink or swim" instructor. He never let me get away with sloppy flying, and didn't gloss over my deficiencies or coddle my insecurities. He later told me, after my checkride, he was harder on his better students, so that made me feel warm and fuzzy. :-)

[@asia1mage]

YOU ARE A LIAR, I PERSONALLY TOOK THIS VIDEO. I wish you can take back what you said. Which video in FL350 you said is the same as this one? I have only 1 video @ FL350, that is AN225. If there is any video there the same as this one, it is THAT person steal video from me.

[@Trackman2007]

i think they should reduce tha amount of hardware switches at least 2x in the future. Probably there still is a good room for optimized minimum.

[@asia1mage]

Some of the things pilots do quickly, are called MEMORY ITEMS. Checklists are checklists, differ from memory items.

[@pankracy111]

"Oh, we forgot this part" :D Great!

[@ideridder6802]

Elec pumps are needed for hydraulic pressurization, no engines are needed to do so. The APU takes his fuel from main tank 1(left) without a selecting the switch(DC pump will provide the fuel). Procedure states that the AFT pump is selected(AC pump. The DC pump will stop) to on because it's taking it's fuel from a lower place in the tank compared to the FWD pump. APU Requirements: APU cockpit fire switch 'in', APU ground panel 'in' and BAT switch 'on'

[@hatallas]

To the 22 haters and the others that bash the automatic system in Jetliners. Let me ask you 2 very simple questions: 1: what is wrong with computers? you are using one right now! 2: knowing that almost 50% of all "crashes" are from Human errors. Would you still get in a plane as a passenger knowing there is no humans in the cockpit, that the only thing flying you is a giant laptop? Trust me, this "computers" crash way more than humans.

[@b747power]

@Carlovfx , You really talking nonsense. Why you talking in general about american pilots? Some american airline companies may not pay so high, but in most cases they pay very good money! For example, some german airline companies pay € 15,000 of their pilots per month! Another example, in Emirates where their pilots take up to 30 000 per month! How about these facts, can you say something? This is the best job in the whole world even somewhere the money is not so much.

[@patrickd126]

@char1eston Side-sticks and joysticks are better for making rapid control inputs and dealing with high g-forces, hence their use in military, sport and aerobatic aircraft. However, yokes are less sensitive thanks to a larger range of motion and provide more visual feedback to the pilot. Yokes take up more room than sidesticks in the cockpit, and may even obscure some instruments; by comparison side-sticks have minimal cockpit intrusion, allowing for the inclusion of retractable tray-tables.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

As an "old" avionics type person, I understood what the Captain was talking about; what about the folks who just "tuned in" - make anything of all of that? Lots of switches; lots of lights to see come on and go off. Only noticed one item that caught my attention: When he tested the "shaker warning" system, he didn't have control of the yoke; this allows the shaker motor (with an eccentric weight) to REALLY vibrate; is hard on the motor. In the USAF, maint. usually did all of these checks

[@shooooota]

Normaly when people use the term course in navigation they actually refer to track. Track is the "real" travel process intended, the heading is the direction that the nose is pointing. In 0 wind in theory track = heading. If you have a wind that makes you drift off the track, you need a wind correction angle. And this angle is the difference between your track and heading. So in all you are correct.

[@greginanc]

blatpoppin5 - don't be too impressed with the captain's preflight. Training is a matter of building blocks. When you are learning that, or any procedure, you start off small, repeat, and add another item. Eventually, you will have the the entire procedure accomplished. I have been doing this for 20 years on everything from C172 to B747's. Keep your dream alive and keep taking small steps every day and the next thing you know you'll have reached your goal.

[@46Bax]

but if pilots die and you happen the only one to be knowing how to land a 737 (or risk some amateur landing at 300 knots IAS), you'd be fine, might be a hard landing or floating, but you'll be fine! I remember my first landing, on a 777-200, with -15 pitch nose landing with 430 knots indicated. i 'crashed' said FlightGear.

[@evzenkastl]

@rappinCheese Yeah. Ask Air frace what happens to fly by wire, when pitot tube freezes, or when you loose the electric system. 737 has 3 hydraulic systems and can be flown without any of them. Cos pilot actually can control planne without help o Power trasfer units and such. On airbus there is no direct connection. So mistake i computer or loose of electrics = RIP...

[@bruno84]

What security provisions ar in place to stop people climbing in and flying them away??? Well if you are not a trained pilot I´d say all those gadgets will stop you from doing anything. If you are a trained pilot, then only a closed door can stop you from taking the plane. There is no key. Keys are used on small piston engines, not jets like these.

[@asia1mage]

Maybe, it is the best way to do it, not treating being a pilot as your career, but as a hobby ~^_^

[@petigk]

This, what he went through wasn't a checklist at all. He just checked and set the switches, buttons, datas or whatever according to the airline's SOP. The checklist can come only when everything is set. Then comes the preflight ckecklist, then the clearance etc.

[@rappinCheese]

@char1eston well remember, its impossible to stall or lose control on a airbus because of the FBW (fly by wire) system. so u really dont need two hands. why do u think the safety record of a 777 is good? its cuz boeing started to use FBW too ever since the 767.

[@petigk]

Yes of course, the landing was a bit hard, but as you said if you would be the only one one on the plane, then you could easily take the plane down till final approach, and I think you could also land it, but it would be quite rough.

[@FrancescoVenturelli]

ok I think I've heard enough shit from youtube users who thinks they know the procedures of the 737NG better than a person who has been flying it for years... just because you can startup the NGX it doesn't mean you can start teaching around.

[@shotfirer1972]

Just watched a special on 4Corners on the ABC.... Seems the NG series falls apart after 8 years, something about level 2 corrosion in main structural components or some such. I obviously don't fly one, i was just wondering what you think?

[@yusei85]

@char1eston ummm.... do you know that stick in airbus planes only sends an electrical signal to the computer? you don't actually move anything mechanically.... It's the same in the F-16, do you need 2 hands to pull 9 g's? maybe 2 fingers are enough...

[@ryanair737400]

well im only 14 and ive flown on many flights and last year i asked could i have a look at the cockpit of an a321 but they never got back to me , im heading off again in 10 days on a 737 -800 and a a321 and im goin to ask can i see the cockpit

[@bewalker123]

thats exactly what i said. i replied to another persons comment that said this guy was doing a "checklist" by memory. and that doesnt make any sense, thats all i was saying. and i agree with you the captain is just doing his flow, in this video

[@orangie84]

I'm not a pilot but I would think (someone correct me if I am wrong) A course is your intended path from point to point. The heading is your actual physical forward position meaning the actual direction you are headed in.. A course is more like an imaginary line decided on usually before the trip or decided on by someone else that you may or may not be able to travel exactly to but try to.

[@Jezzbaldwin]

That happened one time to a US carrier. B727 with a "dead heading" (female) junior first officer in the jump seat. She called a STOP once they were on the runway. They had forgotten to light the number 2 engine.

[@Carlovfx]

@b747power Not really, expecially if you are a USA pilot. Did you know that many USA airline pilots are on foodstamps? I want the pilot that is taking me up in the sky to be paid in a good way, there was a crash where everyone died that happened because the pilots were too busy complaining about how badly they are paid. It's a big problem, very sad for them :(

[@FSXMovies]

I actually used to lived in france for 5 years, moved to America for a couple years and now I'm back in France. I know EasyJet and hate that air line. Tbh the only reliable and good airlines in Europe are BA, Lufthansa, bmi, TAP, Swiss and Czech Airlines. Alitalia is good too. But Air France and Easy Jet are the pits of EU airlines.

[@Artem_Shipov]

Always nice for a pilot to say "We forget this part"....taking out parachutes from the back

[@JSAirways]

ok thanks! That's one step closer to me flying as realistic as possible on my flightsim. :D

[@b747power]

@Aeromar27 , You really dont know what you talking. Better don't write me anymore. You talking fudge. Maybe you are not a realized pilot. Just stay in the office where you are and stop talking.

[@djknightmare666]

APU must be running or ground air applied Packs......off starter switch..... ground 25% N2..........start lever to idle detent 56% N2......starter motor cut out monitor Engine T's & P's

[@Niviuk80]

Compared to Airbus it looks old style, all those lamps and knobs on upper panel - it's a mess. The most ridiculous thing in Boeing is sound of auto-trim - really loud and annoying.

[@Cipry16]

you can simply ask the captain:). One week ago, i travelled on a 737-400 and after parking I asked the captain to take some pictures of the cockpit. He even let me to take a seat:P

[@RobertGary1]

737's that are sitting out on the ramp away from the bridge are harder to get it. Where would you get the ladder truck? How would you drive the ladder truck after you were ready to go?

[@Windtee]

... which results in dead-honest passengers. Now, since the Captain is a pro, I assume he cycled through the "real" pre-flight checklist after performing this "demo" for the camera. Anyway... it's just entertainment for us all... no big deal. ;)

[@186771054]

Physics is very important in the ATPL theoretical part, calculating different things in the aerodynamics subject - this is where the basic physics comes in handy :)

[@bruno84]

What makes you think that every plane is in such position that pushback is needed or connected to a tug? Lots and lots of airplanes are in far away ramps ready to roll.

[@pspslim]

Becoming a Pilot is not that hard, of coarse you need a bit of maths. Physics just to maneuver the plane, but really maneuvering is common sense. And you have to go Flight school thats is the main part. (Flight School).

[@nizz00]

well i am trained in both b737/300-900 and a320 series i tell you m8 you would love the sidestick i like both very much but i have to say a320 is my favourite

[@bewalker123]

wow that doesnt make any sense. you cant complete a check list on memory lol. thats why its called a check list. and this video shows the captain doing his flow.

[@CaptainFer]

I guess if you know how to land a 737 because of playing flightsim, you also know how to do a dual channel autoland. So I would recommend doing that..

[@kurtwebster9550]

what kind checklist is he doing . I maybe wrong but aren't they suppose to be concurring with each other as they go trough the checks. Isn't that SOP?

[@ozanozduman]

Flight 1 Dreamfleet B737 (FS98-FS2000) was the greatest payware addon. More realistic then any other payware addon. I really hate PMDG its like kid game.

[@PokeMePT]

@jltfazt its not difficult in flight simulator. it takes years and thousands of hours of training (both practical and theory) to fly the real things.

[@zim01001]

Very interesting, but couldnt make out what the half sluring pilot said (hung over?), would be nice if one atleast could learn something from this =p

[@bahemre]

thanks thanks thanks alot for this video. its amazing, its very useful for all sim aviators. If you are planning to fly with a pmdg. you must watch this.

[@RobertGary1]

Do you really use a checklist or a "do list". There has been a lot of discussion about the difference in the last 2 years with regard to CRM.

[@Nickuncle]

It's a hack. It just works because he modded his 737. Usually you're right. He made it easy so he can use the APU the old fashioned way.

[@evzenkastl]

That sound has a reason mr knowledgeable. If you know something about flying, than you should know why, otherwise just shut up, thank you

[@sonzama]

in coming time senior pilots would be expected to get around 100k~110k in a major airline :( 300k would be somethign in the past now..

[@marty2704]

the...aaahmm....everything....ahhm..we forgot this part.... check everything...theee... But good video, very interesting...i like it =)

[@asia1mage]

"Memory items" are for your brain. Those procedures you can do with CHECKLIST.

[@goingtobeapilot]

Yea, I graduate in 2 years and I want to find a flight school where I can get atleast a type 737 rating. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[@RobertGary1]

I've been teaching on glass cockpit aircraft for about a year now. No better way to learn than to teach! -Robert, CFII

[@bruno84]

"ug we forgot this one" That´s why there are checklists!! Experience is VERY GOOD but it can bring problems like that one.

[@Aviafilms]

Nice to see how the B737 model has advanced over the years...what was once an all analogue instrument layout is now a beautiful glass cockpit...brilliant!

[@orangie84]

This was awesome except for one small problem. I didn't understand a word this guy said! : ( Maybe need to add some subtitles..

[@petigk]

Of course, you're right. I said that it would be a very very rough landing at first. And the real simulator is 3d :)

[@Kambanicity]

Get a life This is not how they usually do. The captain cheks his side, and the co pilot checks his side. Half side each.

[@KuvDabGib]

Same here...PMDG rules..there was no anything that he pointed that i didnt already know what is it.. :)

[@montreallahbal]

leavemealone300435 he had a accent but dont forget hi is a pilot of plan ,and you ??your deram ?? be a pilot ?

[@flchange]

haha excellent answer...is it possible that people stil think in absolutes like that??...sh*t...

[@RobertGary1]

You could never take off by yourself. How would you pull back the jetway, disconnect the tug, etc?

[@Zirrpo]

Who the fuck wants to fly a computer. "look at me, I press buttons. Am I a good pilot nao?!"

[@affggff]

@hagios9 : Yes you are right. I realized just after I posted it. But could not change comment.

[@cpta2020]

I think you'll miss that noise when you have a Trim Runaway. I like the Loud Trim Feedback

[@MurphyJungKR]

@drliceman He only forgot the PAX SIGNS. No Big Deal. At least for the safety of the flight..

[@JWY]

Very nice presentation. I note that the url is given incorrectly at the end of the video

[@trev711]

yh lol u'd av to be on the job wit the sme airline and aircraft for YEARS to rember that lol

[@matchbox555]

ive flown microsoft slight simulator.. so i bet i could get in and just fly straight away

[@plane15man]

10 years in and u could make at least 300,000 depending on the airline and your experience

[@alufthansa]

I wanted to be a pilot too..and i ended up being an electrical engineer :) It happens !

[@foshizzlemb]

the only thing he forgot were the no smoking and seatbelt signs. like the captain said.

[@Antoniodpaza]

hi, can you give me an enterneth site where i can take real checklist for a 737?thankx

[@a380rockerfan]

Pessimist! I'm profoundly deaf and nothing's stopping me!

[@FrancescoVenturelli]

I think the main difference is because one is real and the other one is just a game.

[@Hansemax]

thats no checklist thats just a preparation the checklist is very short not so long!

[@asia1mage]

Yeah, when pilots should use checklists, USE CHECKLISTS.

[@yamahonkawazuki]

sound russian? but im trying to pick the accent. but idk. love the thorough preflight.

[@psvvac2]

I love when the captain said while in the overhead said : hoo we forgot this part.

[@MultiMrError]

I'm sorry, but real life is difficult. FSX is not even close. It takes lots of practice to be profficient. And every new pilots nowdays has hundreds and thousands of hrs FSX, but still require simulator training and months in line training, even after the type rating is obtained. Just because FSX is not even close to real life. And yes, i "fly" FSX and i fly B737NG
