Lateral & Vertical Navigation B747-400

JHello all, how do you do. I’ve repeatedly been asked to talk about Lateral Navigation (LNAV), and Vertical Navigation procedures and sequence on the Boeing 747-400 air the Boeing 747-8. To put it simply, before departure, part of the preparation by the pilots ( While passengers are checking in etc), is to insert the planned route in the Flight Management system. In doing this, the pilots pre-programme the lateral route and also give instructions as to how high and when the aircraft should climb on the route. The Lateral Navigation engages at 50 feet after lift off while the Vertical Navigation engages at 400 feet. The required altitude is pre-selected on the MCP ( Mode Control Panel) and any other en- route climbs or descents too. Have a watch and I hope you will have some idea what LNAV and VNAV are and how they work. By the way, the landing gear is down so that i could slow the rate of climb giving me time to explain the events at a slower pace as they happened.So in summary, LNAV is left-right while VNAV is Up-Down. Hope you like it. Later!😀✈️✈️✈️✈️

I like the detailed view of the PFD from the pilots view on the ground and in air. That helps me with troubleshooting.

[@stenic2]

Beautiful the digit movement on that mechanical altitude selector

[@noahwilliams8918]

Of all the Boeing pilots I've seen talking about LNAV/VNAV, none have been this instructive. The way you just show exactly which buttons you push and what they do explained in simple terms is unmatched anywhere else on KZbin. Thank you, Captain!

[@pilot_obet]

My pleasure😊

You ain't kidding, I've watched so many trying to learn and this guy is alwsome

After this video I think I'm capable of flying a 747.... in my dreams only!

King of the sky ... Captain Obet. Loved the video 👍👍👍

@@Maersky-747 Thank you

[@bigbtripathi]

This is much better instruction than what I have seen in other channels. Thank you sir.

[@B744ERFJackLoh]

This is the best explanation about Lnav and Vnav! Thank you Captain !!! Next time I would definitely prefer to sit at the copilot seat and help to set the gear up 😂

[@pilot_obet]

That was deliberate so that it climbs slower to allow me to explain the events as they happened, just like the tcas off.

[@noahwilliams8918]

@@pilot_obet I think he mostly just wants to fly with you - and I don't blame him 😂 looks fun!

[@B744ERFJackLoh]

@@pilot_obet Oh I see now. Thank you for your good intentions. Right. It takes just a couple mins to climb to clean speed with gear-up. Amazing. I keep watching your videos again and again. My sim in my house locate at Guangzhou. Quite close to HK. Now we are all opened finally. Hope we can meet and would like to invite you, my captain, to visit my sim. A short video of MySim kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWebk6NtaZ6CsLM Best wishes.

your style is so cool. Short and sweet - learning soooo much from you. Used to fly CX plenty before covid. Hope to return once HKG opens. LATER............

I landed at your channel by mere chance, and wo wo wow, you answered tons of questions and queries I had in my mind for years! Thank you so much captain for the enormous effort and patience with which you make these educational videos for the rest of us, aviation "enthusiasts".

[@michaelbarlow3686]

Great Instructive video Thanks Captain.

[@dmk9278]

Amazing knowledge , keep them videos coming

[@usiddiqi]

@Pilot_obet: Just watching this video nth time :) and noticed that you didn't up the gears after positive climb and they remained down? Any specific reason ?

[@AviationShots._]

Nice explanations out here!! One question sir. Can the pilots set takeoff thrust by pushing the thrust levers manually to takeoff power setting, without pressing the TO/GA button? If yes, what would be the indications in the FMA?

[@Valentin_MeL]

Wow , i didn't know i could press altitude selector button on autopilot panel. I thought it's only possible in airbus... Well i guess this is the reason why autopilot didn't listen to me in vnav mod when dispatcher gave me a certain altitude.

[@dawkinss2422]

So just press the button not the v/s vertical speed button. To climb

[@markjosephm.demesademesama5443]

Hi captain can I ask to explain what is flight director and how does the flight director work thank you.

[@grobbelm]

THAT easy... I could fly that ...

[@burtonlee706]

Why sometimes I see when the speed tape indicates say flaps 10, pilots start retract to flaps 5 instead? Is that different plane models have different procedures or depend on their airline companies flight rules?

[@Myst3ryM4nn]

Thanks for explaining

@pilot_obet7815 I would learn alot from you, you are good teacher, I may reach out to you for some more knowledge if you don't mind.

[@wsh820814g]

Hello Captain, just wondering for most of the cases, once the aircraft took off, will the speed need to be built up first or the altitude? Which comes to your priority?? Thanks

[@pilot_obet]

Its sort of both. First though just after liftoff, you attain a climb out safety speed. Then you maintain this this until a specified altitude, usually 1000 feet before you start to accelerate to retract the flaps😊

[@WIGGlNS]

This is super cool

[@pilot_obet]

Thanks

Great video explaining LNAV and VNAV from first person point of view but most impressive is you managing to get the aircraft off the ground (in the sim) and hold your camera at the same time

[@bruhitsmoh]

Pilot obet your apu is running

[@pilot_obet]

Yes-I know

[@pilot_obet]

Quite a number of times, we may need to takeoff with the APU providing air conditioning air to the packs. This allows greater thrust from the engines. This avails a higher takeoff weight. So APU is NOT always OFF for takeoff 😄

[@bruhitsmoh]

@@pilot_obet ohh meaning if you have alot of weight then you takeoff with apu, then when do you switch it off??

[@davidakom6877]

Thanks very much for the lessons.

[@hongkongplanespotter]

Awesome video Sir 👍, just a question, why the pilot usually call out "LNAV" after gear up in Cathay Pacific?

[@pilot_obet]

Just standard operating procedures. Companies are different

[@ranjeetchadda5156]

[@chappati21]

Hi Captain, Anand here, thanks for posting this video. For how long gears could be down after takeoff, will there be come kind of alarm ?

[@pilot_obet]

You can leave the gear for as long as you like. In this video, you will notice that I left the gear down. This was deliberate so that it would slow down the rate of climb for me to give the exploration

[@chappati21]

@@pilot_obet I see! Thanks for the answer Captain.
