[@Chainspike101]

Hi there!! A&P tech here and I just wanted to point out that is not a fuel overfill vent. Yes fuel can come out of it but it's main design is not an overflow vent. They are called naca scoops and their main design is to provide ventilation to the fuel system and tanks. This is why it's pointing into the direction of flight and has a scoop design to allow airflow into the system and tanks.

How do you set your correct sitting position from the height What is the reference point? Airbus, there are white and red balls that you have to line up in order to sit properly Does that also work with the PMDG like in real life with the seating position? Thanks

[@A330Driver]

Basically, you need to be able to see the top of the glareshield slightly, but the control column must not obstruct the view of the PFD and you must be able to see the autobrake disarm light. When all three are met you're sitting correctly.

[@SSAviation737]

Thanks for this beautiful tutorial! I have a few questions regarding RYR procedures: Why does the captain do almost all of the flows unlike Boeing, if you know? Why does RYR use the "gear up, positive rate" callout? I know SWA uses something similar, where the pilot flying calls "landing gear up" and the PM verifies the call and responds, "positive rate, landing gear up." If you leave the fuel pumps on for so long during your preflight flow, does that do anything to the lifespan of the pumps? I know that most companies leave them off until just before start when they're needed, but RYR uses the old Boeing fuel pump logic (which I like). Thanks! Awesome content, btw! I also find that the IRSs don't get aligned almost immediately as they do in SWA, but I guess it's to make the flow easier.

The amount of detail pmdg puts into its models is really impressive. They have also managed to simulate the feeling of flight without us feeling any g forces. Your videos are fantastic Emanuel, they really add a lot of value to a in my opinion very attractive simulator, compliments to Asobo and Microsoft for stepping into this arena. One thing, as I get ready for descent I have to predict the fuel value at destination airport into the FMC in order to calculate the correct flap and speed configuration during the approach. I forgot how to do that, can you help me out?

[@manoliar]

You are amazing. I think that you follow RYR procedures. To be honest sometimes I can not find the logic between the sequence of some procedures. For example, why to make the engine fire warning test then go to overhead panel and after some steps return to cargo fire system. For me it is strange moving up and down. Is there a logic behind it? Thank you very much for your work.

[@A330Driver]

The logic is that in case there is no GPU available you would have to start the APU at this point. Once AC power is established we move on to the overhead and start making the airplane safe by arming the emergency exit lights. If we did that before the APU start/before applying external power, the lights would turn on and drain your battery. Hope this makes sense!

[@eliass.4743]

I’ve often heard that you put the Position Lights to Steady once you have AC Power. Is that airline specific or is there another reason that it wasn’t done in that tutorial?

[@A330Driver]

The switch is normally left in the STEADY position anyway - so once power is applied it'll be on. While you are right that the position lights should be on once AC power is applied to the plane it is not specifically mentioned in neither my former airlines, nor Boeings own SOP, to switch the lights on immediately after applying power.

[@mancooncrest835]

Before you head out for the walkaround, I understood the reason behind turning on the parking brake and the electric hydraulic pumps but is there a reason NOT to turn on the wheel well lights? Are they only used at night? I mean a lot of lighting is required during the sunniest day in aviation so I am just curious.

[@A330Driver]

There is no reason NOT to turn on the wheel well light. The wheel well is pretty dark, even during bright daylight (especially then since your eyes are used to the brightness) so turning on the wheel well light can never do any harm.

Thanks for the really nice videos so far! One small question, is there a keybinding, or a way to set a keybind to toggle the landing gear into the OFF position currently? This is with regards to using physical landing gear lever, and im wondering if its possible to toggle the OFF position when I move the physical lever to the OFF position. Thanks :)

[@A330Driver]

At the moment there is no such key binding. Right now Asobo (the MSFS developers) still restrict what you can access with the programming language used by PMDG. Once Asobo removes this restriction from the base simulator PMDG will add key bindings in. For now they are able to read most of the default bindings which do work with the airplane. However I don't think there is a binding for an OFF position of the gear lever in the default sim.

How is it MSFS got the 700 before getting 800 & 900. Always before the 700 was the extra expansion you got after the base model 800 & 900 was the base model in PMDG. So I guess in MSFS 700 is Base & 800 & 900 are going to be the expansion instead this time around.
