X-Plane 11 - Zibo 737-800 - Autopilot Tutorial

[@airplanemode2087]

Hey everyone!! Welcome to this (hopefully) helpful tutorial!! Sit back relax, like, subscribe, and enjoy!

[@jle1015]

Airplane Mode Would you do another tutoring video for auto landing, please. I'm very enjoyable and learning a lot from your video. Have a good day!

[@airplanemode2087]

Hey man!! I already have a video for ILS landings so I would recommend you check that out and see if it helps. If not, let me know, and I will be glad to make the tutorial!! :))

[@julianr.82]

Could you please answer my second coment? Would be great?

[@mohamadsadek7850]

@4:45, 10 to 30 knob is the bank angle limit. So when you make a turn with a bank limit of 30 your turn will be sharper/faster than if you had it on 10. Thanks for the video you are awesome :)

[@Zyllien]

The 10 to 30 on the hdg is the angle the plane is flying the curve 😉

[@goldenstateaviation2861]

This is great! I believe the “10-30 knob” on the heading knob is the max angle the autopilot will bank the aircraft while in a turn.

[@4IsDefinitelyCosmic]

Yep, correct!

[@Oscarc1245]

Correct.

[@AndyZaky]

Damn kid. Extremely intelligent and articulate. Color me impressed.

[@aportman58]

I understand this video is 5 years old but will have to say it is probably one of the best well paced packed with valid information that is easy to grasp! I just decided to start flying the 737-800 and have been able to fly headings fine with heading bug, but the auto-pilot has not been working as it does in GA aircraft. This video really helped to understand some of the questions I had regarding when to activate LNAV, CMD and CWS! Thanks!

Just earned a Sub you really deserve it

[@Aviation380]

Great Video! Even tought me a couple things I didn't know about the N1 Limit page! Those 10-30 buttons you saw on the heading knob actually adjust the bank angle of your aircraft with the autopilot on (in all modes- VOR LOC, APP, Heading & LNAV). If it's set to 10 it'll give you a 10 degree bank when turning, 30 a 30 degree bank. Basically the larger the number, the steeper the bank. But overall its best to leave it in the middle where it was then, that'll leave it set to auto.

[@airplanemode2087]

I'm glad I taught you a few things!! I'm also glad I FINALLY learned what those 10-30 knobs did. Thank you so much!! :))

I downloaded the Zibo mod and have been watching your videos to get to grips with the plane. After getting frustrated with figuring out the autopilot, I came across this excellent video today. Thanks so much for making these clear and concise instructionals. These are a MUST WATCH for beginners like me and probably should just be linked on the Org. Hats off to you. Subscribed.

Absolutely fantastic video found it very informative and easy to follow. Subscribed and hit all notifications. Wishing you every continued success with your channel

[@MarkMuita]

Great Job! Just a small clarification on the V/S button. You are right it changes pitch, however to be more precise, it adjusts your rate of climb in Feet Per Minute. (FPM). This is useful if for example, ATC requests you to “expedite climb”. Then simply engage V/S and crank it up to 4000FPM. Be careful with V/S climb as the aircraft will maintain the selected V/S disregarding speed which can cause a stall. Lastly FLCH will allow you to adjust pitch based on speed. Select a speed for climb/descent and press FLCH. Aircraft will pitch to maintain the speed. This is useful for descent if descent clearance has been received late past your TOD. Descent at a fast speed (steep angle) then when your slightly below your desired path, wind your speed back down to reduce your pitch, causing you to slow down and recapture your VNAV path. Great job nonetheless. Happy Landings

[@JFulls94]

the 10 - 30 is degree of Bank (bank angle)

[@airplanemode2087]

great to know, thankk you so much!!

[@RealandSimulatedWarsBlog]

The best explanation of the autopilot. Thank you so much!

[@kalas1988]

Nice video! Keep up the good work

[@evanmatsson7184]

The 10-30 knobs are the angle of banks you want the autopilot to use

[@gsed29]

thank you so much, i always thought "APP" meant Autopilot for some reason, so i was getting mad and furious for it not being on course haha, thanks alot! Kind Regards, Guus

[@corataylor2205]

the 10-30 knob changes what bank angle the autopilot is allowed to max out at, so at 30, it will turn with a bank angle no more than 30 degrees.

[@RPPerry1984]

Last night I was getting extremely frustrated with Zibo 3.31T flying KATL-KBNA. I kept having issues where I'd push CMD-A, the CWS-A light would activate only. This video was extremely helpful and I'll be following this to reattempt tonight.

[@airplanemode2087]

RPPerry 3 thanks so much that means a lot, and I really hope that it can help. If you have any questions you can email me at [e-mail]

[@Calebcalebcaleb]

Thanks man. You really helped me learn to fly the zibo better

[@RINKU23BRAVO]

That 10 30 knob is limit for role in autopilot.

[@slundal]

Amazing tutorial. I'm changing to the zibo from the Md-88 and this cleared up a bunch of things for me. Really good and easy to understand explanation. 👍👍

[@johnywesco4143]

Somebody give me answer. If I engage Lnav and vnav then autopilot follows FMC right? (I mean speed and altitude mentioned at certain waypoints) or I have to set altitude and speed manually? I'm confused

[@thesauceindustry4423]

Yeah, it will follow the altitude and route that you put in the FMC.

[@Matt_10203]

Yep, LNAV and VNAV are FMC dependant and will operate based on the parameters in the FMC.

[@MrJohnnybalboa]

Yeah but keep in mind LNAV will not go higher or lower than the Altitude set in the MCP. So if you want to let the Plane descend all the way down, set the MCP Altitude to the Altitude you want it to descend to. VNAV does only work if you set the performance parameters in the FMC ("perf init", especially winds,OAT temp and Cost Index "CI"). This is what works for me

[@TheQueer23]

great tutorial. I just got Plane and I have used this to already crash a B737-800 yay :)

[@expat5587]

You are a excellent teacher

[@israelshmueli6626]

i like the: "ok so this knob ummm ok not sure what is it umm ok next"

[@C0rnBr3ad04]

That heading knob with the 10 and 30 numbers I believe is max autopilot bank angle. 10 15 20 25 30 degree bank angles

[@AwesomeGamingDK]

under heading the 10 and 30 is your bank when turning, so 30 is a hard turn

[@504menace]

Great vid mate really helped me thanks mate

[@juanpablogranados6324]

The other knob in the headong selector is the bank angle selector.

[@josephstalin1223]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 10-30 knob on the hdg knob controls how much your aircraft will bank when it turns to your heading, 10 degrees, 15 deg., 30 deg., etc.

[@Zyo117]

The info that heading select and speed work without autopilot actually properly engaged explains why in XPlane mobile the touch control autopilot doesn't work properly. You still have to manually set it via the actual autopilot panel for it to work properly. Activating it via the touch panel doesn't turn on the flight directors or autothrottle.

[@AmauryChihuahua]

The "10-20-30" Sets the max Degrees of bank

[@Vise-ij5rp]

Explained very well!

[@sillyghillie5916]

Great vid man!!!

[@bettylovell173]

so clear and straight forward, thank you

[@stefanfilewicz]

Bank angle in °

[@papakilo-2750]

4:50 those knobs control the rate of the heading change

[@aidanstaples12]

the 10-30 knob is the max bank angle that the plain will use.

[@SpecLife]

4:43 @Airplane Mode when your flying on Heading Select what that button does is how steep the aircraft will turn. 10 will be a slow turn every little click will add a more steep turn

[@airplanemode2087]

Spec Life thanks!!

[@akcsamiru]

Ok, the 10 and 30 nob under the heading is the the choice of what angle the plane should turn to reach the autopilots desired headings.

[@imtn_ik]

Thanks a lot, this video is really helpful 👍🏻

[@officerki]

When I press the CMD A, it does not turn on the Lnav. Why does it not work?

[@michaelrinks]

Thank you. Very informative.

[@julianr.82]

Hey man! Grate Video. Btw, the 10-30 mode on the Heading knob is used so u can tell the Autopilot how steep his turns are allowed to be. 10 means his bankangle is 10 degree. You set that because you obviously do not want the autopilot to fly a turn in a 30 degree bankangle while the Fasten Belts sign is off...

[@airplanemode2087]

Julian McClash thank you!! In both ways. It makes sense ;)

[@foryourlugsonly]

The one at the back of the heading is your autopilot bank angle

_GiNGeR -NiNJa hey sorry for the late response..... You go to the init ref option on the FMC keypad, and if your IRS are aligned then you’ll get to a page with a bunch of blank info. Go to the N1limit page press the OAT thing or something like that and then go to the takeoff page. You’re speeds should be there, you just have to click on the button next to each one of them to confirm them and you should be good. You can watch my FMC tutorial to find out more. (PS. When the video gets to the N1 limit page, whatever I say to click, click just don’t fill in the temperature afterward, that makes it not work

Fantastic tutorial! The bank angle control knob has never worked for me in both the (k) and (o) versions of the Zibo 737. I don't know if the developers never had the time to make it work or if is a bug. Has anyone else had it work when LNAV is off?

Time to update to version 3.31z2. I haven't had any issues with bank angle. As a test, 30 deg bank angle during your approach phase. It's definitely more noticeable at 5000 ft vs 35000 ft ;-)

[@Sim737Pilot]

If you are flying in the US, for example Boston (BOS), you have to enter the 4 letter identifier with a "K" - KBOS. If you are choosing a very small airport or helipad, there is a chance X Plane's database is outdated. I had to use the previous airport name for a regional airport that did not show up and use its former name instead.

[@airplanemode2087]

Xrossy - I think your reply covered it, but you do say ICAO vs IATA. ICAO is with the letter of the country(don’t know much about it) US is K except Alaska and Hawaii where P is used, Canada is C Colombia in some places is S, etc. When you plug the code into the FMC make sure you use the ICAO vs the IATA

[@imMetallicOSM]
