787 Beginner Tutorial with a Real 787 Pilot!

[@islepilot]

There is nothing like getting MSFS training from someone with real-life experience in the aircraft. We all want to make flight simming as realistic as possible, and knowing that your videos are based on real world experience makes them invaluable. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such high quality videos!

[@younessajjaji9298]

That transition from "I'm a real world a320 pilot" to "I'm a real world b787 pilot" hits hard

[@320SimPilot]

Still a struggle for me!

@@cintula82 Yeah, hope he keeps the name, the A320 is an amazing piece of engineering and it's thanks to him, I learnt so much with his A320 tutorials! Now looking forward to delving into this one!

[@lucasdownunder]

Amazing work on A320 and now on 787. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@320SimPilot]

Glad you’re enjoying them Lucas, and thank you!!

[@royvankan2723]

Yes! Here we go, the tutorial series of the 787 from the best tutor from the the community. A made a playlist so I can store every tut video in there. Thank you very much!

[@legendkiller456]

Don't know if you are still looking at comments from this video, but thank you for tutorial and explanation behind everything. Helps someone new like me learn quickly!

[@ianashton8082]

Thanks very much for taking the time to produce these videos, congrats on your move up to heavy from the Airbus. FYI, you can also load fuel, Cargo, ZFW and number of passengers on the CDU. INIT REF/Index/Settings/Weight + Balance...enter the info. Saves faffing with the MS stuff

[@NarwhalsFromSpace]

Yeah, I use GSX and typically turn on power, go to the weight+balance page, set payload to 0% and then fuel to something like 6000 lbs, and then I call the fuel truck and after it has arrived I hit the "Set from OFP" button and it syncs up the refueling very nicely. The weight and Balance page will also tell you your CG% if you want to use it for performance calculations.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you for your kind words! Those are great tips, I’ll do that in future!

[@jirehla-ab1671]

[@planely1263]

I guess, @320SimPilot - like most of us - uses Navigraph, and this will update your Nav database according to the AIRAC cycles. If you don't want to go with a subscription, you're pretty much stuck with an outdated one.

[@theroyalcam]

must be a dream to fly the 787 as a job, so much quality of life compared to other airplanes

[@jessejohnson6435]

I'm so happy right now just buzzing after going through this tutorial a few times and pulling off a successful take off in the beautiful 787. It wasn't easy but thanks to your videos I've been able to get in the air with a couple of great Aircraft that fly the Skys of the world today. Great to see there's alot of other people getting alot of Joy out of your content. Thanks alot for all your Videos! Hope your well out there

[@vutti2893]

It's so comforting to have your 'no-nonsense' and straightforward tutorials back once again in this super cool aeroplane. With the somewhat limited functionality inn the currently available MSFS flight models, the amount of information (and automation) yet to come is really exciting. Thank you as always for taking the time and troble to inpart the knowledge you have gained in the coorrect way to set up and fly the 787......your obvious growing appreciation into the amazing features of the aircraft are infectious......I look forward to many more tutorials (and updates in the functions available). Great video Captain 👌👍

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks so much Vutti, really appreciate it as always! Indeed it’s really grown on me and hopefully it will for you all! I’ve been so impressed by what the default avionics have to offer too.

[@ehameham3816]

MUCH appreciated! Takes you a lot of work to make these vids but it is so helpful for us amateurs! Very detailed instructions for us to copy and then enjoy flying this amazing plane. I am a a320 fan too but for long hauls, I wanted to add this plane. Now I can ! TY. Greetings from Amsterdam

[@maxwellwynne-shepherd7852]

Brilliant. Idea for a 787 stream, VIR107X, Heathrow to Nassau

[@bruceknight21943]

I was just finishing one of your 3-year-old A321 videos and I saw this one suggested. Congrats on the upgrade to a "heavy", I have flown as a pax in the B787-9, LAX to Auckland NZAA, New Zealand- where I'm originally from. Other than rather loud whining hydraulic pumps that seem to go on and off, a very quiet and smooth ride.

[@JehanKateli]

Tip: You can simply click on the "CG" button and it will auto populate the CG, just like for ZFW.

[@frrr]

way back to your first couple a320 videos, you have inspired my passion for planes and cant wait for these new series!

[@jonathanchristophercabral-927]

So happy about this New series. Really looking forward to it ❤

[@TrendingHeadlinesTV]

Hi Capt. thank you for taking the time to make these tutorial videos. I love flying the Horizon -9. Amazing distance, for a little bit shorter version of the 787 family.

[@jaxgator24]

"How cool is that?" Very cool! Thank you sir. I got MSFS and began in the Cessna as most do. I then found the TBM 930 and fell in love with that. Then I wanted to try jets so I learned both the Honda Jet and the Longitude. I have recently decided I wanted to try CA and chose the 787. I have yet to take off in it because I wanted some instruction first. Your video was exactly what I needed. Subscribed!

[@praseodi]

Cant lie, seeing this title after watching the A320 video brung tears to my eyes. Very well done on becoming a 787 pilot.

[@FranklovesChocolate1]

Thanks for the great video, it’s great to hear a real 787 pilot tuition, I have been learning to fly the 787 since your 1st video, and this video is another massive help, so thank you and I’m looking forward to learning more from you.

[@320SimPilot]

Glad to help and thanks for watching!

[@rogermoore52]

Absolutely outstanding video. Nice pace and brilliant explanations. Looking forward to part 2. Doesn’t seem nearly as scary coming from the bus already. Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos. Greatly appreciated.

[@norlanmaltez7402]

Baro knob seems to operate similar to other quick-scrolling knobs: Turn slow and steady and value will begin increasing in larger increments (first by 10 units, then by 100 units). Near your target setting, stop turning the dial, wait a second (this resets increments). Begin turning again (back in 1 unit increments). Turning dial fast keeps the increments locked into current increment setting. Thus, close to your target setting, don't scroll slowly or increments will again change, unless you turn 1 unit at a time to fine tune. The key is that slow and steady turning of knob will shift the increments. Fast turn = no increment change. Brief slow turn = no increment change. Slow steady turn = increment units will change. SPADNext users will be familiar with this dynamic.

[@der.Schtefan]

Nice to see a Boeing that does not need 200 button presses to get started :) A nice aircraft, with a great solution to arrange the displays!

[@320SimPilot]

Yes it was a relief to me too! It looks after itself very well

[@fatrat6988]

The 777 and 787 are extremely easy to set up that I’d honestly say it’s easier to set up than all the other airbus aircrafts

[@sanket007hzb]

[@snoorman9189]

what an enormous amount of information you share with us. very helpful, thanks very much!

[@subsonicflighttraining]

That was an excellent video! I taught on the 787 for 3 years for the manufacturer, but never flew the jet on the line. I am more of a 757/767/747-400,-8 guy. I am just converting from P3Dv4 to MSFT 2020. so a good review of the 787 is desired since I had a 44 year aviation career as a Pilot/Instructor/Check Airmen/FAA Examiner, now retired. I do wish they had simulated the use of the Rotary Cursor Control and the Trackpad so the impression to most is that the CDU is a touchscreen. Also, I am surprised the VSD is not available. That is such a nice display on these big screens. At 24:40 in the video, when you put in 340 for the CRZ ALT on the PERF INIT page, that will not generate an EXEC light. Very enjoyable video, if you are not an instructor, they need to make you one...

I'd love a short breakdown of how you maneuver your camera, it's very smooth. I've tried to replicate it by binding WASD to translate the camera and R/F to adjust height, but I can't seem to get the speed and precision of the camera translations balanced. Great video as per usual, I owe my entire airliner experience to your videos and the FBW A320.

[@320SimPilot]

Thanks for the comment! I use an Xbox controller and the drone ‘showcase’ camera with the speeds reduced.

Great tutorial very well explained! Thank you!

[@alinduplea]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you for providing such meaningful information in a such in-depth video. I have a question because I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's a bug. I use Horizon 787-9 variant, I'm trimming the airplane correctly for Take Off, but when I am airborne I cannot trim it anymore (and I assume the auto-trim takes over, that's why). The PROBLEM is that I have to push the yoke pretty forward to maintain the desired path given by the Flight Director. And when I am switching to the AP, the plane corrects its attitude violently pitching down then going back up again and then stabilize itself. It's pretty annoying.

[@eliotcolin6920]

@320SimPilot I learned at the civil aviation school i'm in, that Derated Thrust is meant to be used on contaminated runways, since Flex Thrust isn't usable on wet runway unless AFM allows it. My question would be, how do you use the different thrusts settings usually? Is it different in the 787 from the A320? Thank you so much for your time on those videos. And hope you'll take time to answer me. Take care

[@after_midnight9592]

There's seems to be a bug on the CDU/FMS. Keep in on the pedestal position when you're making the takeoff performance calculations. If you move it upwards to the navigation display, it will always delete the takeoff speeds. I always bring it up in the ND, where it's easier to check and monitor flight progress. I find it more comfortable in VR to have it there.

[@tuhkathri9126]

One day pmdg will release its 787. I look forward to it

[@simmingszycho1980]

Small tip. Under views, select HUD view instead of Pilot view. Everything is kinda the same, except for the hud being properly aligned and everything visible. Top vid otherwise.

[@NoelKerns]

I believe in the sim you can just click the CG button and it will auto-calc the CG to the scratchpad, then you can insert it.

[@320SimPilot]

For pushback Left Shift + P! Press it again to stop. For the throttles I currently don’t have reverse assigned (I’ve been using F2). But I’m going to look into this

When setting the performance data on - runway conditions has numerous options to pick from. Can you explain what conditions qualify for each option? Obviously dry, wet, ice. But can you give any more detail? Also - what does each option do “more than give you different power ratings” any more explanation? Thanks! Love the videos would love more in depth and could listen to you talk about the stuff you deal with every day! Super informative!

[@ganntradingsystemstimecycl2783]

Great tutorial just what is needed thank you. Though I've noticed with the horizon 787-9 with the CG which gives you the stab trim number. It seems to be incorrect. Example of a flight I did earlier today the CG was 6 and in takeoff performance calculations gave me a trim number of 9.25 though upon takeoff when V2 call out the plane did not take off. It took more speed which I'm pretty was due to incorrect CG to trim calculations.

Thank you! Hope you continue to have time to produce more in the series with not too long a gap between. Is there a reason why the switches seem to be mostly "down" for "on" except for the FD and arm autothrottle? Or should we forget "up and down" and think of it as "forward and back"?

[@rikusbenecke2122]

Does the 787-8 vs 9 vs 10 actually feel different to fly? Specifically hand fly? Do you get the sense you’re in a bigger plane when flying the -10?

Curious question: why would Boeing engineers want to bother the captain with the decision to turning on/off the IFE PASS SEATS and create a switch for this on the overhead ? It seems this is something that can be handled by the crew and not a safety aspect with legal repercussions for the captain?

[@320SimPilot]

Great question! There are some checklists in non normal situations where that switch may need to be pressed to remove power to the IFE in the cabin. A very unusual event fortunately!

[@Topcat1952]

Thanks so much for your work on this. I'm still learning the ins & outs of the Airbus planes but I do want to learn the 787's as well since I have all three versions. Just a couple questions arose watching this: 1. I did not see how you activated the push back. Since the 787 does not seem to have the commends on the EFB as the Airbus A320's have, how do you connect the jetway, as well as activating the tug for push back? Do you use the built-in Asobo tools, or GSX Pro? 2. I plan to use my Bravo throttle for the Boeings. However, I'm confused where I physically put the throttles for take off if I use the TOGA button in the sim. I assume full forward. What if using less than full power. The Thrustmaster Airbus has the indents for MCT but the Bravo does not. Wondering where I move the physical throttles on the Bravo after take off when the auto-throttle kicks in. I'm concerned that if I move the Bravo throttles back, will that disconnect the A/T in the sim? Any thoughts? Thanks again.

[@ScepticGinger89]

45:45 The sim sets the cg for you the same way it sets the zfw. You just have to push the button twice.

[@ClouDAction.]

CG is also given in the weight and balance window. You need to make the window wider and the CG will appear on the right.
