Boeing 787 Climb and Cruise Tutorial with a Real 787 Pilot!

This video will take you from takeoff up to cruising in the Boeing 787, just as we do in the real aircraft!

I am a real world Airline pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of airliners in MSFS and X Plane. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for this series, can't wait for them all to come out so I can start flying this thing without feeling like a complete idiot!

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you, more to come soon!

[@dougalmctavish3882]

Oh yes! Beginners Guide - just my level lol. Seriously Captain, thank you for all you do for us! Much appreciated.

[@320SimPilot]

You are very welcome Dougal and thank you!

I've been hardcore airbus until this 787 came out. It's close enough to airbus that I could figure most of it out, and with the addition of the HUD it's now my favorite aircraft. Just a shame my sim is very unstable so its pot luck when I wake up in cruise as to if the sim is still running

[@320SimPilot]

It is a fantastic aircraft in the sim indeed. I hope you get yours running stable soon!

[@kakitajubei]

My favorite mfs instructor is back! :) Your A320 series was amazing and is a basis of my Airbus knowledge / skills. Now I'm planning to learn 787 thanks to your new series. I can't wait for next video :)

[@industryguy07]

these two videos have been incredible, i cant wait for the next tutorials, ive been jotting like crazy in my notepad. Such a joy to fly. Thank you.

[@andrevdw747]

Great tutorial again! Love the way you explain the topics 🙏🏻 Hopefully I can watch your livestream next time 📺🍿😃

[@Lukeclayson]

I learned how to fly the Airbus in the sim from watching your tutorials so to now see that you’re doing the 787 is such good news. I’ve been wanting to do some longer haul sim flights so this is perfect. Will there be further videos in this series for the decent, approach and landing etc? I’d love to get on a 787 as a passenger someday, I’ve been on other aircraft countless times but I’d imagine the Dreamliner is quite an experience.

[@aimbotefly222]

Ive been waiting for this!!!!!

[@nickk8762]

Thanks, great video. Watched it with a fellow enthusiast, he said "the 787 is almost more Airbus than Airbus in some ways" kind of know what he means. Lol What an amazing aircraft. I can see why you love flying it. Thanks again.

[@leebrandt2225]

Thank you for another great tutorial series! As always, remarkably well done. I appreciate what you continue to do for the community.

[@320SimPilot]

That’s very kind of you, thank you so much for the super chat and kind words! Glad you enjoyed this one. I’ll get working on the next soon!

[@williamg.copway7486]

This is a cool coïncidence: when I needed instruction for the Toliss Airbuses I found your excellent channel, and when I need the same for MSFS 787 here your are again with an experience with the real plane! Can it be that your destiny is to be our instructor?

[@CrashEd1664]

Top class as always Capt! 👍

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you Ed!

[@_FIAV_]

Can you do cruise to landing next? Would absolutely love that your videos are much better with the 787. Glad you switched

[@tgrx1901]

Great video which I learned a lot from. Thank you very much! I am of course looking forward to the video on how you eat your lunch now that you dont have a table as per the Airbus 😉😁

[@davidedwards6811]

A great help, thank you for sharing

[@caseyjones166]

Another masterly tutorial. You're so clear and patient with your explanations, would it appeal to you to do some training for your operator? Secondly, the whole heading bug thing is so very Boeing and still a little bit puzzling to me in some ways. Obviously I can see how it comes into play in 'heading select' mode, but why is it so important to keep the heading bug centred in lnav? Is it just good practice, or does it actually have some effect on the aeroplane?

[@doltBmB]

You should credit Working Title who are the ones responsible for updating almost all of the default aircraft to this kind of standard.

[@320SimPilot]

I agree and regularly mention the fantastic work they have put into this aircraft!

[@wisehat_yt]

nice vid!

[@boryszegota6640]

yes im waiting for more, I need a decent tutorial

[@yili9274]

Looking forward to the B787 landing tutorial. Question in advance: Comparing to A320's landing, typically pulling FPA at 0.3nm before FAF (to reach 3.0 path angle), wondering when to pull FPA for B787? (just tried the same 0.3nm, but seems not quite working for B787).

[@njyde]

my god, that livery is not a sight for sore eyes! Great tutorial as always though!

[@robertallan3339]

Great Video as always 😃 couple of questions :) How accurate are the climb rates in the sim compared to the real aircraft? With the aircraft being as powerful as it is, would you often find that VNAV SPD THR REF modes have you climbing at 4,000fpm? I understand you mention you will make a tutorial for decent and landing so won’t ask about that yet, just curious, pacx and slc constantly marking me down for ‘extreme flying conditions’ while using these modes, same in relation to the bank angle, is it fairly accurate as to how the aircraft would fly? Basically are the pax programmes being wet flannels? 😂 Sorry for length, wondered if anyone else had these issues with pax addons TIA 😃

[@zlm001]

Thanks

[@aviation_2197]

Great video! What does the THR mode mean?

[@Lithuanian.aviation]

Waiting for the landing tutorial cause I can land it but not sure if correctly

[@OrganAviator]

Can you select an inbound course when you select direct to a waypoint

[@TheDamian418]

If you get a higher cruise, do you need to adjust pressurization for the new altitude?

[@rezaomar3397]

I have a question what should the tpr be for the GEnx engines before pressing the toga reference for takeoff, I am guessing like 40?

[@GreatYTShark]

After the 20 TPR is set and you press TOGA if you are using a controller do you need to still move the throttles forward? Will it change any performance or does the auto throttle bypass any manual input? Also what is the N1% for the GE engines without the TPR? Thanks

[@kacperwara2009]

Just a quick question and maybe stupid question. Do you leave an airplane in VNAV mode for the whole flight?

[@Nathan-of3io]

To my knowledge when CDU setup is correctly filled in and the T/D is also correct you can leave it on untill touchdown.

[@GB-tc4hr]

for me, the plane cruises very pitched up, any suggestions?

[@antoniopettini9503]

Do you use some mod&add on for the 767?

[@atulshenoy4306]

First lol

[@laughoutgaming1]

320 sim pilot, and 340 views, almost aligned ☹

[@JamieKerry704]

is this mfs

[@salokin1]

msfs2020 ... you need a premium version to have access to the Dreamliner.

[@JamieKerry704]

ok then@@salokin1

[@johntetterton2658]

Whats an average clime rate? MY sim jumps up to 4,000+ on the initial climb while staying under 250kts under FL100. Any thoughts? Maybe its just the Sim but it wants to turn into a rocketship.

[@johntetterton2658]

On your video when you switch to FL170 it jumps up to 5000 fmp. Guess it must be aggressive to keep that speed and raise pitch to keep speed and up you go….
