N7640U operated by Ryan International Airlines on behalf of Emery. I used to work on this beautiful lady out of DEN. I understand we're just simming here, but keep in mind, she was never RVSM certified, so as with most of these grand old ladies, 27,000 is as high as she was allowed to go. (Real world) BTW, you're correct, because of so much drag / noise, most old 727's had a mechanical block preventing flaps 40.

I started my career in aviation working as a rampie in YYC on Emery(Ryan's) 727 including N7640U. Pilots were great folks, smoking cigarettes on the taxi in. Great memories. The FL270 you mention had nothing to do with ETOPS (two engine) rather then RVSM.

[@jetfixer3207]

@@shanewalker5015 You're correct. RVSM. Unfortunately (as I did in this case) I sometimes get the terms RVSM & ETOPS reversed. (I corrected my earlier post) To go above FL270 would have required a very costly upgrade of the 72's avionics. That combined with being an older, thirsty, noisy bird meant the costly RVSM upgrade just wasn't worth the investment. Kind of a shame too, I still have friends who flew the Ryan 727s. (I spoke to one this evening) Despite the Emery birds being horribly underpowered, they could cruise (if light enough) at 42,000 feet traveling Mach .9 By modern commercial jet standards, that's both very high and VERY fast. While working as an A&P for Ryan International at the DEN station, I worked on both the analog Boeing 727, and the (at the time) cutting edge digital Airbus A320. VERY different.

the interesting thing about the 727 generators - it's the same way how power plants synchronize to the grid. the blinking lights and dial are called a synchroscope.

Very cool!

[@johndonovan7018]

some of the cleanest atc comms ive heard on any network and some of the best pronouncing controllers. what a treat

[@V1Sim]

@@johndonovan7018 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m having a livery made for 727 Emery the original red and white , should be up by next weekend. Love too see you fly that one .

[@V1Sim]

@@TriJetSimPilot will love to try it!!!

[@TriJetSimPilot]

@@V1Sim alright I got that livery up on the site now, check it out! Hope to see you fly it soon!

[@197jm]

You are a great ambassador for this addon! RNAV airliner flying isn’t my style but this looks great. Just a small recommendation, when reading back chat messages it would be helpful to read back the question as well, makes the VODs easier to watch. Thanks for everything, subbed

[@V1Sim]

@@197jm that’s very kind of you thanks a lot! And ah yes good idea for reading the questions back. You can click live chat instead of “comments” and see the chat happening in real time as it did during the live. But then of course you sacrifice full screen. But I will try to read more of then out! Cheers

well done!!

As a DC9/MD80/B727 typed pilot, if you ever wanted to do a live Q&A type of stream, I’d be happy to join in on voice to provide insights or answers to any questions regarding these aircraft. Hit me up if you ever wanna offer that up to your subscribers 👍🏼

[@stevekempf3066]

I thought Emery's callsign used to be Rosie back in the day. Am I losing it?

[@nyomansatiyananjayasadha6640]

I'm wondering, what is the yoke that you currently using in the video? Thanks

[@fn0rd-f5o]

I could be mistaken and I'm sure V1 can correct, but I think it's the BRUNNER CLS-P Active Force Feedback Yoke

[@1flyingmarshmellow358]

ohh wat a plane i was sleeping soo i could not tune in:( Great stream!

[@krflies9840]

Where did you get the classic model matching?

[@aviationchc]

Thanks for using one of my liveries! I hope you enjoyed flying it (:

[@jetfixer3207]

I wish you could have gotten the Ryan logo on the left forward nose hear door, but no matter, I doubt anybody could actually see it.

[@aviationchc]

@@jetfixer3207 Ohh was that what it was, I saw something on the nose door but none of the photos I could find were high quality enough to tell what it was so I just left it out. Might try and add it in an update now

[@embrj1453]

Brazil just retired it's last 727's flying .

[@roloduarte3100]

How would you compare this plane to the Flyjsim 727? I love your channel.

[@TriJetSimPilot]

@@roloduarte3100 FSS comes with fully modeled cabin , sounds are amazing and better system depth imo . FJS is good , but this is better.

[@roloduarte3100]

@@TriJetSimPilot awesome! I will get it. Thanks for the info.

[@tiagofelix8998]

WORTH TO BUY OR NOT?

[@niki_bel2283]

Unfortunately you got this memorized wrongly with the FJS 727 "slats clipping". They got it right. ;)

[@avitor500]

Nice! The external model looks great, however the cockpit simply looks weird. Maybe it's the attitude indicator that is not the one fitted on real 727😢

[@Moose6340]

I have GOT to get this thing on my next paycheck. Are they planning to do a passenger version or possibly a version with an FMS like these babies would've had later in their careers?

[@V1Sim]

@@Moose6340 yes and yes! Pax version planned and there is additional FMS coming too

[@TriJetSimPilot]

@@V1Sim definitely gotta get those clipper flights !

[@arkoh4809]

If you have the PMS GTN or 750 NXi you can use it with this plane

what network you guys flying on?

Is it only me, or is ATC really too loud, and has been for the last few streams? Sometimes I can hardly understand what V1 is saying... 😢
