EFIS PFD - Flight Mode Annunciations (FMA's) iFly 747-400

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Thanks Freqimann, no actually this is one that has been private for some strange reason, and I just published it even though it was made a year ago. My intention is to make more videos in the future, hopefully sooner than later.

[@AtomSmash3r]

The 747-8 by PMDG just came out. Hope you do some vids with it. :-D

[@leopold2427]

Thank you. Best teaching instructor online ever...

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Thank you Leo, appreciate the kind words...

[@grenzboy2730]

time is one of the most important thing that we have, so with that being said, thanks a lot for dedicating time in doing these videos 🙏🏼😁

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Yes, Grenz, that is the problem I have, these take time to do. I am working on a Non-Normal Video collection that will cover most of the non-normals encountered in actual flight training and will be of interest to flight simmers, but also actual pilots about to transition to the 747-400 or 747-8. Glad you find value from them…

Thanks for the video, the audiovisual presentation helps get back in the groove.

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much. Can't wait for the B787 systems description!

[@subsonicflighttraining]

I’m looking forward to that as well...thank you

5:15 FMA == Flight Mode Annunciation We're getting ready for takeoff 1) Autothrottle mode is || blank ||

[@lukepyles7215]

At 5:38 the view is of an apparent program that can be used to practice FMS drills. What program is this and is it available to the public? Thanks!

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Hi Luke, yes this video was made with iFly 747. I recommend the PMDG 747, or the more expensive Aerowinx PSX. You can do a google search for PMDG or Aerowinx to get info. PMDG is around $135 if you use it with P3D and Aerowinx is around $325 and is a stand alone. P3D generates the virtual world and scenery and PMDG is the developer of the jet modeled after the B747-400 and B747-8...

[@lukepyles7215]

@@subsonicflighttraining Thanks Capt. Al. I'm finding the Aerowinx to be best for my needs. Safe Journeys!

[@fet1612]

0:40 EFIS = Electronic Flight Instrument System PFD = Primary Flight Display FMA = Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA is a part of PFD)

[@fet1612]

1:54 Just below the FMAs would be Autopilot Director's Engaged Status (CMD)

[@freqimann]

Yay! You’re back!

[@fet1612]

2:05 would indicate would indicate would indicate disappears after 10 seconds || Green == Engaged || White == Armed ||

[@tonforr]

Thanks again .

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Your welcome Tonforr, hope to make some more of these in the future, not sure why I had this one private for a year, slipped through the cracks...

Hello fr Russia, bro

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Greeting Tara, I have taught quite a few Russian crews like Air Bridge Cargo and others. I still have beautiful shot glasses and Vodka bottles given as gifts after the training, great guys. Very strong boys, really firm handshakes, that is what I remember the most…
