Raw Data ILS

[@JustMe00257]

Scan is a bit slow, corrections are a bit late and excessive so it becomes a classic example of running after the needles. One must know the appropriate pitch and power settings then apply quick small smooth corrections while keeping a fast scan. And don’t forget to trim.

[@737simguide2]

Small corrections are indeed the key, having the benchmark of knowing the pitch and power to start you off, and then you will soon work out what heading and actual pitch and power that will give you the desired track, ROD and airspeed. There is a reason this is required for a Skills Test, a quick instrument scan is required and smooth inputs. With so many pilots lacking continuity in their flying at the moment, if you are practicing on your home PC or dry hiring a fixed base, this is a good exercise to practice, along with steep turns to tune up the manual flying skills.

Pilot did very well recovering the glide slope and stabilizing before minimums, however.

[@micheldriessen5081]

Good job. Very good example of what mostly happens in sim as in real flight. Also a good reminder that manual flight skills have to be maintained during real flight and use of a simple PC simulator is useful for this pur pose.

Thanks very much for this Video it is very detailed description of ILS approch, one of the best which I saw so far Would be nice to see VOR or NDB approach as well

[@emmalees7114]

Great video thanks please make a fmc fail video if possible

[@federicotribbia3099]

Great video 😊

[@sullyobrain55]

Thanks for the useful material. Could you explain how to keep raw data skills on a line ?best practice in your opinion .

[@argfaa]

Thank you!!

[@mahmoudelfellah42]

Interesting!! Thank u 🙏🙏

[@tgtarikgokdemir]

Thank you

[@PabloDezon]

Hi, Caption. Thank you and congratulations for you videos. On this one, you’ve mentioned 1 dot for LOC and GS. Shouldn’t be half dot for the LOC, please?

[@d.t.3677]

half deflection, not half dot. half deflection - one dot

[@navsperry9320]

You are amazing 🤩 It will be wonderful if you can make video on FMC failure !!

[@MrLegantWong]

excellent !

[@lucasdowd6120]

Would’ve benefited from a discussion about the fundamental issue that made this ILS rather sloppy - a lack of attitude awareness and an almost complete lack of pitch trim inputs. The key to any raw data flying is the correct application of attitude performance scan - this is impossible if the aircraft is out of trim and therefore the attitude is not stable. Remember the VSI is a secondary instrument - always come back to pitch and power primarily.

I guess your are a PC sim pilot or a Cessna 172 real world pilot, right?

[@lbowsk]

@@FTStratLP You're so smart. It actually sounds to me as though he knows exactly what he's talking about. You? Not so much.

[@sevdeozturk7159]

perfect

[@tgtarikgokdemir]

Was excellent thank you..

[@tripodcatz5532]

It's not really a true raw data ILS though with the ND still in ARC mode (which displays a ground track for wind correction)? In the USA, a FAA monitored check ride in the sim requires the ND in the 737 NGs to be in compass mode with the flight director off. PF must then manually determine WCA for localizer tracking.

[@FTStratLP]

FD wss off in the video as commented. And the USA might have its own definition if raw data.

[@lbowsk]

If relatively stable, the GS tells you where you are. VSI tells you where you're going to be. To my, the VSI is more important than the GS. Configure, power and pitch. Pitch Plus Power Equals Performance. Always, unless you're in a fighter or glider.

[@schillaci5590]

Just converting on to Boeing from the lazy man's aeroplane. How come you don't teach people to update the HDG bug? In a crosswind, no point in having that set to runway course. It's inviting you to turn to it. I would update it 5 degrees into wind. Something to aim for, no?

Thank you.
