Check out my FMS programming tutorial! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJbNXqukZ9ymm8U&ab_channel=FinThePilot

thanks looking for a refresher since i haven't flown in a while

Way to go Fin, crystal clear instructions. Starting is easy for me, but there seems to be many who have problems getting it to go. I have this memorized but still have a checklist popped up. I did learn about one thing from this: the warn inhibit. I have switches on my yoke to clear the warning and caution. I can reclaim them and use the inhibit now.

Glad to hear it helped!

Thanks for your new tutorial with Mouse cursor. 😊 It is very helpful for my understanding cold and dark start of GLF550.

Thanks for watching!

It’s nice what you are doing, however, you are doing a lot of extra things that is automated. And yes, I fly the real 550. You arm the emergency power first to make sure it works. Once you turn the batteries on, you turn the emergency power back to off. (After apu start, you arm them and leave them armed) APU start requires the left main fuel pump. You can do the right, but you would have to open the cross flow. So nobody does this. APU generator is always selected on. We never touch that button. So as soon as the Apu is at 100%, the generator comes automatically online. After that, you turn on the Apu bleed air. (After 90 seconds) For engine start, you turn on the two main fuel pumps. Not all 4. Then you press the start button, this will take care of the isolation valve and the packs. So no, you don’t do any of those manually. It’s all automatic. You ALWAYS start the right engine first. This is the only time you can see that the PTU works for your hydraulics. After both engines are up and running, start master off first. This will again set the packs and isolation valve back to where it’s supposed to be. At this point you turn on the two remaining fuel pumps and you stop the APU. You do not deselect the APU generator. Only thing you deselect is the APU bleed air. Bleed air will automatically go to engines. You are also allowed to take off with APU running for bleed air, to improve runway performance. At 1500 feet AGL, the bleeds will automatically switch to the engines, at which point you shut down the APU. Why did I write all this? Because the 550 is a lot more automated than was shown in your video. Still loved the video though. Nice job.

First off, I absolutely agree with your statement. Unfortunately, this model doesn't have the fidelity of simulation to accurately represent the intricacies that you have described. I meant for this video to be a user friendly tutorial on how to get the airplane started, not an in depth fully realistic startup procedure. Thanks for the additions!

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@finthepilot4678 I was unaware what this simulator can or can’t do. So, disregard what I said then. Again, I truly enjoyed the video. This wasn’t meant as criticism. Just wanted people to realize, the real airplane is pretty advanced.

[@finthepilot4678]

Thanks for the insight, no worries at all.

Hello, you know how to disengage Autothrottle.....what is the botton?

[@finthepilot4678]

It's a clickspot over the mode control panel. Click the top left screw of the MCP. The Bottom left screw is the TOGA clickspot.

I downloaded the new 2.09 and I tryed it for XP11: the FMC anytime you change a point ( like direct to a fix ) got stuck for at least 2/ 3 second ... MY GOD !! I do not know if this issue does not happen while using XP12 instead..

[@finthepilot4678]

Unfortunately, it's a known issue. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

[@supertrainmaniac]

Hey do you ever have problems with the autopilot in this? A lot of the time when I start from cold and dark lvl change/vnav/selected speed won't work at all. When I start with the engines already started in XP I don't have this issue though, was wondering if anyone else had the same in the G550

[@finthepilot4678]

I've never had this issue, but I'll upload an autopilot tutorial soon

[@edisondemarco3441]

How about G500/600 ? It would be cool if you did some work on those models…

[@finthepilot4678]

I agree, unfortunately I'm not a developer. I just fly them!

warum immer so rumfuchteln im Panel? Das geht doch bestimmt langsamer und verständlicher.
