Although this video is based on real world procedures, things have (purposely) been left out here and there or might be different from procedures used in real life, due to, amongst other factors, simulator limitations, limitations of the PMDG 777 etc. The procedures shown in this video do not relate to my airline, the airline used in this video or any other airline. This is just a tutorial for flight simulation purposes, nothing more, nothing less! This video is here to get you going with the 777 in an as realistic manner as possible within the limits of the Microsoft Flight Simulator environment. Therefore, do not use this video for real world training or flying, always consult the manuals of your own operator if you happen to fly this plane in real life.

When I played prepare 3d 777, I watched your tutorials! When I am playing the msfs777, I am watching your tutorials as well! Thanks for the great content!❤

[@AviationPro]

Thanks for watching!

[@sky4everaviation846]

I watched your video when I first started Vatsim few years ago, Omg now you are a real life Pilot! Very happy for you!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@Kydd092]

I watched your videos way back in P3D days, years ago - super informative then and still are now - congrats on making it to the airlines, really happy you managed to make a dream come true!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed them! :)

[@stayfrosty8411]

I hope you won't get tired of making these videos. It's so helpful for the beginners like me. Thank you for all the great videos you have uploaded. Watching from the Philippines.

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! Glad to hear it’s helpful 😊

[@akashangana6744]

It’s wonderfull you are still making videos. The last time I saw you on KZbin was when you taught me how to fly with vatsim. Now I am like a pro thanks to you.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks, glad the videos helped! :)

[@LEVEL_CHANGE]

Very nice video! Congrats! Always amazing to see other real 777 pilots and how each company approaches different subject! Cheers!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you Claudio! And thanks for your insightful videos as well! 😉

[@myaudirus]

Huge respect for the work done. I'm an amateur pilot who masterly flies on A320 Fenix and today my new journey with 777 begins. This is a great guide for me to start. Many many thanks and huge respect from a Russian simmer; )

[@AviationPro]

Thank you!

[@peterpearce5173]

Great video, love the way you took your time to explain what everything did, makes it a lot easier to understand.

[@AviationPro]

Thank you, glad you liked it! :)

[@Captain_Best]

I am getting that P3D nostalgia from that one cold and dark guide. The PMDG B77W is the best ever!

[@AviationPro]

Absolutely! 😃

[@flypmdg]

Thank you for the great lesson and panel state file. On KZbin a lot of videos about how to start from cold and dark, but yours is very informative. Nothing more and nothing less. Exactly what I need. Thx again!

[@AviationPro]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@TheKelvinater]

This is a superb tutorial - thank you! 😁

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! 😃

[@abhinavkarthik-qi8vt]

Good to see you here after a long time. I learnt so much information from you. Hope you feed your knowledge more and more.

[@AviationPro]

Thank you, more to come! :)

[@nicjackson5741]

Superb Sir... yourself and A320 Simpilot best on the Tube

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@vulkan2222]

So wonderful info. thank you very much🤞🤞😍😍✌✌

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@nemesisone8927]

arrived last friday from tocumen panama to amsterdam in this awesome plane, super flight klm is the best

[@AviationPro]

Cool!

[@copper_115]

Great information and great video. Thank you!

[@AviationPro]

You’re very welcome!

[@Smasher77th]

Hi! Nice video and very informative. Thanks a lot. I noticed that you also have a "GATE" startup procedure. Do you mind sharing that too? Thanks once again.

[@AviationPro]

I've uploaded the download link, it now includes that startup state as well :)

[@freddiepacitti7293]

I have an issue both with my honeycomb alpha yoke and bravo throttle where the light switches flicker in the game when I turn them to the on position in game

[@tf51d]

You don't need a download file to load a FP, you just need to uplink your Simbrief FP via the EFB then you can load it direct!

[@AviationPro]

True that, I'm a bit old-fashioned :)

[@user-it1os4dh1r]

i love u videos, but my TCA wont calibrate with the b777

[@alexeypopov3903]

Hello all, could you please help me with the flight planning and how to fill in flight plan, plus what do I need to expect from ATC communications: I want to start flight somewhere in Germany and flight over Switzerland mountains to Italy, I want to use VOR and NDB. I would assume this is not VFR flights... and probably airspace E. and also question can I deviate from the flight pattern? I saw few times in a flightradar that people are flying above VFR flights level (like 9k feets) but obviously not following any route like it is when VFR (chaotic)

[@fransvangroeningen6759]

Bedankt

[@AviationPro]

Dank voor je donatie, Frans! 😊

[@fazzyhd1585]

doesnt anyone know why my tiller on the pmdg 737-800 just turn slightly?

[@mr.airspace]

Thank you for the nice and insightful video 😊 Are the figures for payload and fuel which simbrief provides realistic? And the Vr and V2, are those from the PMDG performance tool/EFB realistic? Curious to hear your expert opinion, thank you again 😊

[@AviationPro]

You’re welcome! I yet have to do some good testing and comparing on that, but from initial impressions it doesn’t seem that bad actually! Also in regards to runway usage on takeoff and landing

[@Avonnieuwland]

Op welke vlieg school heb jij gezeten ?

[@yfig7020]

Is there going to be more tutorials for cruise descent and landing?

[@AviationPro]

I’m planning on recording a VATSIM full flight video in which all the other phases will be extensively discussed 😉

[@DennisRijken]

Do u think flying on vatsim is a good preparation for flight school?

[@AviationPro]

Made a video on just that a while ago! How does Flight Simulation Experience Translate to Real World Flight Training? - Q&A #1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHYgWyibraJg9U

[@DennisRijken]

@@AviationPro Thanks!

[@virtualaviator21156]

hows IRL 777 flying going my man -HK's Flight Simulations

[@AviationPro]

Going well! Great bird to fly… personally I like it a bit better than the 787 even :)

[@titelrolvertolker]

The fire test is more of a maintenance function right?

[@AviationPro]

@@titelrolvertolker correct :)

[@superjet1007]

like 5 years ago!

[@AviationPro]

@@superjet1007 Good times!
