Real Boeing Pilot | 737NG Cold & Dark Setup Tutorial

In this tutorial we’ll perform a full setup from Cold & Dark in a pre-release version of the ZIBO MOD (BETA Version 3.29)
Simulating a flight from Corfu (CFU/LGKR) to London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) we’ll go through the entire setup based on real world procedures used every single day at a European Airline.
This is more an insight and the procedures have been tailored slightly to suit single pilot operations in a desktop simulator.
The setup covers in the detail the order in which things are completed and includes all applicable charts, briefings and performance calculations, matching exactly what I would to if I was setting up this flight in real life.
Enjoy!

Think ive memorized the whole of this video now after around 100 views, wont be long before im speaking out loud in my sleep

[@thiscorrosion900]

I'd watched this once before, but I hadn't flown the Zibo yet. I've learned how to fly the plane fairly well, but I haven't attempted a cold and dark startup yet, watched this again and now feel confident I can manage it. Can't thank you enough! Now I feel much more so that I've got a handle on all the systems and startup procedures.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Glad I could help! Good luck! FD2S

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@flightdeck2sim I meant to try one weeks ago but was busy moving and didn't have time for simming until recently again. I feel like you gotta block out extra time for a cold and dark! Whereas just pushing back and taxing out doesn't take that long, really.

[@thiscorrosion900]

@@flightdeck2sim I did a dry run at Miami Intl., following a flight I did the other night on Zibo to Jamaica, I followed your tutorial exactly and got the cold and dark startup done! I had some minor trouble transitioning to APU Power, bus, etc., but I managed to fix that. Did my pushback, so that's accomplished. Otherwise I was chuffed. P.S. Nevermind, I managed to figure out XCamera and set up my basic camera views for the Zibo. That should solve those problems. The plane's impossible to fly properly without them set, since it requires frequent switching to the overhead, pilot view, pedestal, FMC, etc.

[@Arteaga1243]

Finally a real tutorial from an expert, Thank you Captain!

Brilliant as always! One tip I world like to share for those who don't already know about it is when putting in a long route in the FMC. To save yourself a bit of time you can stick to putting in just the airways and the waypoints connecting the airways will populate automatically as long as the routing is correct. So let's say you have a route like this -> A A1 B B1 C C1 D. In this case you could put in A followed by A1, B1 and C1 where B and C would be automatically inserted for you. If not using saved routes and when doing longer flights it's quite convenient!

[@tantegreta]

Well, I really gotta say there is no stone unturned, you fill in any information about real life procedures. Such good explanation as always, thank you so much!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Lee! Let me dispel a myth! I started flying the 737 with 280 hours total time. I had a lot to learn and I still to this day as an instructor teaching people how to fly the 737 have lots to learn! Yes with more hours does come more experience but regardless of experience, you have to still pass the same check every 6 months. Sometimes the old boys can struggle with certain elements of the operation where as a fresh cadet straight out of the type rating would be more proficient with dealing a situation they recently practiced in the sim. With more experience you develop better decision making and exposure to different situations but ability can vary considerably FD2S

[@marki61422]

Great video! Whether you are an expiring pilot or just a simmer that wants complete immersion I think these videos do an incredible job of showing real world procedures. This is good stuff that you cant get out of a manual. Yeah you can read the norm procedures for a 737 and just do them, but to here why exactly you do them from a real pilot is priceless knowledge. Thank you for doing these videos and keep them coming!!!

[@AB-qn9cs]

This may be a slightly weird request but I'd really love a video explaining all the different noises etc you get when the elec-hyd pumps come on and the fuel pumps. Would be cool to fly on the 737 knowing what each noise is and what's actually happening when you hear it. Would make a cool video I think.

Hi Andy! It will be two things you can hear primarily, especially if sat over the wings. The Fuel Pumps and the Electric Hydraulic Pumps! FD2S

[@CraZy291]

Absolutely amazed by the quality of your content. Actually took a pen and a paper to take down notes so as not to miss any of the information. One question if I may, do you actually still do a TCAS system test on the real aircraft or can that be left out? Thanks a lot.

[@theflightsimboy4310]

This was very useful! Thanks a lot!

[@speedbird8326]

Just updated to 3.29a. If you are talking to Zibo can you pass on the following: I can confirm in 3.29a centre tank fuel pumps prevent engines from starting and will shut down an engine if turned on after engine is started. Also, FMC gives incorrect "Unable Cruise Altitude" and "Using Reserve Fuel" message once airborne. Weight was 55 tonnes for takeoff, cruise alt was 33,000 in FMC so "Unable Cruise Altitude" is incorrect. Reserves were 2.0 tonnes and arrival fuel was 6 tonnes so "Using Reserve Fuel" message is incorrect.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Speed Bird, testing pre-release version, center tank pump issue has been fixed. FD2S

[@speedbird8326]

Good tutorial for sim pilots to learn real life procedures. Next time you are talking to Zibo, ask him to fix the GRD POWER AVAILABLE light so that it is not on when you set the park brake after engine start or when you set the park brake on the runway for instance !! Also the PM/auto call-outs need to be customisable. For example, in my airline, we do not get PM/auto call-outs at 400 feet and 1000 feet on takeoff. (PS I have over 14000 hours on the real 737 - currently flying the 737-800).

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks Speed Bird! (GPU available moving to EFB at some point) and ZIBO will be adding more customization features. New SYNC feature you'll find very useful single pilot in a 737! Feel free to provide feedback to myself or ZIBO at any time based on your experience, FD2S

[@speedbird8326]

Your explanations are spot on and any feedback would only be procedural differences which we know are operator-dependent so not really worth discussing. Keep it up. Who knows, your videos may inspire someone to become a 737 driver. Question: Do you have a textures mod for your overhead panels and centre pedestal panels (they seem darker than normal) or is that the stock standard Zibo installation? I haven't updated Zibo in a while.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Make sure you have the latest version, the MOD is updated periodically! FD2S

Not sure if you've covered it but would be cool to see what procedures are for cockpit callouts on approach. Like "sink rate" or "terrain" and how often they happen in real life :)

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Jake, Dependent on the callout! For eg “SINK RATE” would require a simple correction to the rate of descent. An Aural Warning such as “TERRAIN TERRAIN PULL UP” requires a mandatory terrain escape manoeuvre! Something I might cover in the future! FD2S

Thanks and bye bye from The Netherlands and happy to see you back again.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Good Question! We use TOC wind so VNAV give us the most efficient speed climbing to TOC. You can update the average wind on the LEGS - RTE DATA page to give you a more accurate ETA/Fuel Burn. (Should have explained!) Not sure what you're referring to regarding POSS EXTRA? FD2S

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Evan747, It's the default XP11 camera! You need to find the view you like moving around the flight deck/cabin and then assign that view to your keypad. I have assigned the views to my NUMPAD by selecting CTRL _1_ as an example. When I push 1 on the numpad it smoothly transitions to that view! Good luck! FD2S

Another distinguished and admirable tutorial nicely done.

Thanks in advance.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Mehmet. There is no set guidance. You would just set the courses perhaps to the runway direction or the first track after departure as a reference. Navaids perhaps to the first en-route beacon or an approach back into the airport of departure in case you need to immediately return. FD2S
