FL360 to AutoLand | PMDG 737 Tutorial w/ Procedures

Today we will do a Complete & Comprehensive Beginners Tutorial / Guide to the PMDG 737 that shows how to go from BEFORE the Top of Descent (TOD or T/D) all the way to an ILS autoland in the PMDG 737.
This video forms the 2nd of a 2-part series, the other (Part 1) starts in a similar way, but is completely unplanned (no procedures) all the way from T/D down to the runway for a visual approach. We learn many important concepts over in that video, that also apply here, so that we then build upon.
If you a new to the PMDG 737, flying sims in general, or are converting from Airbus to Boeing, or simply have a keen interest, then I highly recommend watching Part 1 first.
Part 1: • PMDG 737 - Comprehensi...
Part 2 (this video): • FL360 to AutoLand | PM...
How to Read Charts: • Navigraph Charts Tutor...
If you are new to reading Navigraph / Jeppesen Charts, and would like a fully comprehensive tutorial on that, I also suggest starting there first, and then coming back to these videos. These 3 videos combine together to form what I want to call the "TOD to Touch Trifecta!"
The first part of the video puts many foundations and principles into place, that this second video is able to build upon - the and after watching both, you will be proficient with handing the Boeing 737 from cruise all the way down to the concrete, be it planned / IFR, or free styling via your own methods.

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot 😂 Thank you very much! Please keep them coming. By the way, you put in the temperature and not the ISA DEV again, right after explaining you did the same mistake last time. I does help a lot to see that it all is just a bit much even for a professional 😊

Amazing channel, you just got yourself a new sub.

[@shamsghandourah2670]

Mate I love the way u teach us don’t u dare to stop ur vids, how can I donate to ur channel? I looked everywhere for that ❤❤

[@InternetFlightRules]

Hi, very kind words thank you. I enjoy doing the videos and sharing what I know and picked up along the way. Whenever I feel like doing a video, with an idea (or suggestion) I'll go ahead and do such a thing. I don't really have a donation link or anything like that. I have a small patreon for another unrelated channel I do (tactical takeover) but I really don't expect it. Thank you for watching, and I hope you continue to enjoy the content I put out.

You landed Flap 15?? Standard landing flap is 30, or 40 on Short Field Runways, the 737 won't keep centerline after landing nor pull the reversers for you, all manual even when autolanding

[@High_cloud_18118]

Flap 15 in normal ops is a significant failure of configuration for landing and not authorised for autoland. (In simple terms) Autoland may only be used with flaps 30 and 40 with both engines operative.

[@InternetFlightRules]

That's a really good point - thanks for sharing. it still did a pretty good job considering I was asking it to do illegal things!

[@kiwinesss]

That was amazing, thank you for that. I learnt a heck of a lot!

[@aerodynamics_sweden]

awesome video! but just for your information, the 737 doesnt keep the centerline, unlike the a320 anyway have a good rest of ur day sir!

[@InternetFlightRules]

The 737 doesn't keep centerline on autoland? Wow thank you, I had no idea. Have a good day also!
