This is the best and most in-depth tutorial that's actually all-in-one. Perfect tutorial by a landslide.

This video ought to go big. People need these tutorials!

As a beginner trying to understand the basics of this aircraft, this focused tutorial was a million times more useful than any full flight tutorial. I would really like to see such detailed tutorials about each instrument panel, process, etc. For example, I have been watching various tutorials about the 737 now, this would be my fourth day of non-stop watching, yet no one has bothered to explain what all the knobs and dials on the panels are for. Everyone keeps going over the same four five controls in every video. It would be greatly appreciated if you could break down other panels and functions in the cockpit in a similar fashion. Thank you once again.

Man this video explained a lot. You used terminology that is understandable and not over people’s heads. You explained a lot thank you!

One of the best tutorials ever made, it really make things bright and simple. First time that I really understand what each button is intented doing. Thanks a lot!

One of the best ! Tutorial out there on KZread. 👍👍👍 Thanks. Good Job !

This is the most underestimated tutorial for how to fly AP and ILS approach on ZIBO B737. I've been flying this amazing plane for a while but still found here some stuff I didn't know about. Tank you Micah.

So cool for us MSFltsim beginners. Could grasp 50% but each level of learning is really a milestone in my own head! Need to watch this VDO about 20 more times. Love it! Thank you for such a great learning tool!👍

Thank you for your great tutorials mate I've just subscribed to you as I've been looking for some time to explain how to start the zibo 737 800 thanks to you I have succeeded after many weeks of trying to start it lol well thanks mate great video

Your tutorials are the best, and are the only ones that can teach me

Fantastic video, thanks! I'm still very much a beginner but I did understand a few of the auto pilot features and how to do an ILS approach, but I wasn't clear on a few things and this video has filled the gaps. I didn't realise you had to set the runway course in order to do an ILS landing, it explains many of my 'what the hell is it doing?!' moments :D

THAT was the best video i have seen with regards to auto pilot and ILS approach , thank you, I need to search out you FMC tutorial, im amazed... Subscribed to this channel no question...

An outstanding tutorial, Micah. The 'mistakes' were just as informative as the rest of it. Fortunate the pilot who can learn from his/her mistakes. Many thanks.

I've been frustrated with the auto pilot in the zibo mod and have stuck mainly to flying the A320 which has a much more intuitive and simple autopilot system- this tutorial has helped a lot.

Amazing video. Thank you

Great!! It will take a lot of practice to master the nav. system.. Take a little at a time and keep going over it to improve.

This was an awesome video thank you Micah awesome thank you

that video rocks! Than you!

Nice video with clear explanations! Just one suggestion if I may -- you make a lot of references to "VOR LOC". Viewers who are trying to learn the basics might possibly be understanding this to be "VOR lock" and miss the point that the "LOC" is a reference to localizer, not solely "locking" onto a VOR. Nice explanations, though -- keep it up!

SO IN DETALE YOU ARE BEST

thanks bro.we will wait same explain for a320 or toliss a319 mcdu and ıls approach

Thank you!

This is so great. The trouble I have is finding the waypoints and what info to put in the fmc

Think i found my mistake on why the ILS was not working (course select and using VOR LOC at first). We'll see when I try it again. Thanks! subbed

I’ve got it now I forgot to set the course thank you

Amazing tutorials ! Youre the only source i was able to properly learn from after searching so long and watching so many videos ! Can i use the Lnav and Vnav all the way down to glide slope at 1,900 without using the other speed and descent options ? Yesterday my aircraft wasnt descending properly towards the airport, maybe its because i didnt input the altitude to 1,900 on the panel before TOD ?

@MicahMesser

4 жыл бұрын

That's why it wasn't descending. Have to decrease MCP ALT before TOD. You can use VNAV all the way down.

Thanks man! Had to refresh my memory after leaving MSFS2004 some 5-6 years ago with almost 500 hours in vatsim on this model alone, and now doing circles in KBFI in xplane mobile on 738 :) But where the hell is TOGA switch there on the mobile model version lol :)

Great!!!!!

Approach checklists are imperative. All of the items such as landing lights, armed spoilers and other configurations would have been handled. FS2Crew has a fantastic software with a virtual co-pilot that handles all of these things to allow the PIC to "fly the aircraft". Otherwise, nice touch.

Excellent video that finally helped me understand why VNAV was not working for me. What maps do you import into that AVITAB plugin?

@MicahMesser

Жыл бұрын

I don't important any maps. I own a subscription to Navigraph where I pull charts through that plugin.

VOR/Localizer, not VOR "lock". It works with either a VOR or a localizer (which is what you are using here).

What plugins do you use? I notice at your cruise altitude looking out the window there is almost a haze over the ground giving the effect you're at a high elevation. I feel like cursing on X-plane for me almost does not feel like I am high over the ground. I guess I have like zero haze which gives a very unrealistic look to the ground when flying at high altitudes.

When I decend, it says drag required. I put my speed brakes up and my plane goes haywire. Was I supposed to do that?

32:25 your input to put the ILS is different from my one on zibo mod where do i find the same as yours plesae

Hello, i am using Zibo mod, and approaching airport in VNAV/LNAV mode. But plane doe not descend on FMS waypoints restrictions no by changing altitude on MCP. It starts to descend only on level chage mode.. What i do wrong. On VNAV+LNAV mode it is ony following heading and speed

quick question on your FMC you have flight hight data i dont seem to get that so i cant seem to switch my VNAV on any ideas ?, i using simbrief for my flight plans.

Maxwell guess you’re talking about ones around the destination airport? You add them under the “Fixes” tab in the FMC. You just put in the airport or waypoint and beneath it enter the distance you want the circles around the airport. E.g doing /5 will put a circle 5nm around the airport
