FSS Boeing 727 Tutorial 3: Engine Startup | Real Airline Pilot

[@simprove]

Hi Emi, I don't have the FSS 727 (yet) so don't know if this is a limitation of the simulation (though the manual describes the system correctly) but the generator synchronisation as described in your tutorial video is incorrect. You shouldn't adjust one gen then put all three online, they must all be in sync with each other. When you select the engine 3 meters, the sync light are comparing gen 3 output with the sync bus. Currently that has APU GEN power, which will be disconnected when you put gen 3 online. So gen 3 actually has nothing to sync with and can supply the sync bus. Then you switch the ac meters to gen 2 and the lights will show the synchronisation of gen2 to the sync bus. You must then adjust the frequency of gen 2 until the lights go out. Only then should you put gen 2 online. Then repeat the process with gen 1, synching that with the sync bus. The sim looks very good, going to add it to my hangar thanks to your videos of it.

The best airplane ever released! A dream!

Literaly bought this aircraft now when I started watching your tutorial vids. Very informative and helpful!

Enjoy, let me know how you like it!

@@A330Driver So far so good just flew the aircraft using the INS and VOR approach never felt so good hahaha

Powerback procedure next 😇😎

[@A330Driver]

I choose to go with the standard pushback for this one since the plane currently only seems to have full or no reverse but for power back you need the intermediate settings.

how to turn on the engine later stages? ex: eng 2 right before takeoff

Hey EM can you please make a video on VOR A/ VOR B approaches. (B737) I was flying from VNBW into VNKT. Happened to notice there were VOR A/ VOR B approach options. Never heard about them before. Upon searching online, im still not clear and there is not a single video on youtube. Thanks in advance

Hi Emmanuel! Is there a way around the fact we can only tune two numbers after decimal on radio frequencies (like 124.75)? Tried to fly yesterday with Say Intentions atc, couldn’t even tune to atis or request clearance as the frequencies used the longer pattern (124.755)🤷‍♂️

The old radios in the 727 prohibit you from accessing frequencies on the 8.33KHz spaced frequency band, like the one you are mentioning. To circumvent this, you will need to find another way to change the com1 frequency in your addon of choice. For the vPilot client the command would be ".com1 124.755", I am unsure about SayIntentions.
