Very happy to hear we have upcoming Zibo mod videos to look forward to 🙂 I actually went to XP myself where one of the main reasons was watching your first Zibo mod video and I honestly can't see myself going back to P3D again. At least not for the time being. The sensation in XP actually flying an aircraft is amazing in combination with the sound, the light not to mention all great scenery available for free and last but not least how you can build your own photo scenery. Did a flight from Mallorca to Palermo in the Zibo mod tonight enjoying my newly built photo scenery and the approach with the high mountains on your left on final into rwy 25 was breathtaking! Have a great week flightdeck2sim!

I would like to say thank you for all these educational videos. I learnt so much from them. I have a couple of requests if you could kindly make some videos about them. 1. What is the proper protocol for weather avoidance(red,green,yellow) on radar and how to predict turbulence? 2. Explanation of what is ETOPS and when is it used? 3. All the different fuel policies and when each fuel policies have to be employed? 4. Are there any circumstances where no alternates or two alternates are required during flight planning? Thanks and I look forward to learning more from you.

@flightdeck2sim

Hi Aaron, working my way through several requested videos. Some of these answers you can easily find online! In a nutshell... 1. Avoiding turbulence associated with convective activity is quite simple, keep away from the big fluffy stuff! For large storms/CB's stay upwind and don't enter red radar returns and magenta is associated with turbulence. The OFP gives values of shear/turbulence based on several external conditions but it can be hard to avoid. 2. Haven't looked at ETOPS since I studied my ATPL Theory so I dare say you know more about ETOPS than I do! It's something I could possibly cover in the future once I refresh some knowledge! It allows twin engine aircraft to fly further away from a suitable alternate in case an engine fails in flight and requires additional equipment and authorisation. 3. I won't be making a tutorial on fuel policies but I do have a tutorial covering how the BLOCK Fuel figure is divided and all the fuel required kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5iirpmOnd2tf84.html 4. Different airlines have different rules and procedures but typically for no alternates you would need the destination weather to have weather conditions within one hour either side of the ETA to be above the required minima for the particular approach available, OFP's usually generates at least four alternates and more can be requested by Ops if needed otherwise you need two alternates.

Hi, in the real plane the a/t will go into thrust hold mode from 84kts to 800ft agl. At 800ft agl it will go to ARM until the thrust reduction altitude entered in the T/O 2 page - normally 1500ft is selected to allow for a quicker acceleration to flap retraction speed - upon reaching the thrust reduction, on the FMA the annunciated mode will from ARM to N1 and the climb thrust limit selected on the N1 limit page will be selected as indicated on the thrust mode as CLB. I did not notice the mode indicator switching from THR HOLD to ARM from 800ft agl to the thrust reduction height so i was wondering if it was a system bug. Thanks

First off, best flight sim videos and tutorials out there!! Second, I am experiencing a problem with autopilot/fmc No matter what the condition or what my fmc speed says, when I have lnav and vnav set, the aircraft speed will not exceed 245-260 knots. I know 737 can fly around 320 KIAS without overspending. This happens whether I have a headwind or tailwind. Any help is appreciated! Love your videos!!

@flightdeck2sim

Hi TheTrusouljar, what is your CI (Cost Index?) An airspeed of approximately 250 kts would be normal in the cruise and descent with a CI Less than 10. Remember as your altitude increases your mach number/true airspeed/ground speed increases for a constant indicated airspeed. 250 kts IAS at 5000ft is a lot slower than 250 kts at 35,000ft due to air density which decreases with altitude. I hope this makes sense! FD2S

Hi Dr. No, thanks a lot and feedback noted! 👍🏼 FD2S

FD2S, How frequently and in what situations do carriers like yours permit a 0 derate departure, or full TO/GA thrust on takeoff? You mentioned that the aircraft was heavy but you still used TO-1/CLB-1, and that got me thinking about this. Also have you heard about the new 737 ultimate coming out for X-Plane for free? It uses the ZIBO FMC. Can’t wait to see you do a vid on that. Keep up the good work!

@flightdeck2sim

Hi Spoon LGNX. No need to be permitted to use full thrust for take off, if we need it we use it. Weight of the aircraft isn't always the main factor when it comes to how much thrust. It could be the length of the runway, terrain on departure. Also weather has a major factor. If we have a very strong crosswind we would typically use more thrust to reduce the risk of tailstrike. I'm keeping a close eye on the development of the ZIBO MOD, I'll be using it a lot more in the future. FD2S

This is what I usually do because the checklist I use says "ARM LNAV and VNAV" during MCP setup

Could you do another full flight tutorial please BTW enjoying the vids keep it up

Hi NickSteevs. Will plan one at some point with the ZIBO MOD! FD2S

I have a question, did you ever try multiple rto's with this plane ? I tested it with all my controllers disabled and found out that if you use reversers at all, then any subsequent rto will result in autobrake disconnect, its the same with their 777. 747 though works :) Its as if the plane thinks that im advancing the throttle or something, maybe some throttle range issues ensue after that. There were posts about this long ago but as of now nothing got updated. You could always map a tiller with fsuipc you know :) ? I do in pmdg planes, i just take a joystick with a z axis enabled and use that, it cuts out at 30 knots if i remember. I even use separate reversers with it. What is your honest opinion on the NGX ? What things are incorrect in your eyes ? It would be great to learn it from a Pro :)

@bigscott55

At my company we use 3000ft for ALL departures except in the USA. We call this our bird strike avoidance procedure. Most birds fly around lower than 3000, and if we were to hit a bird, we would have less of a forward vector but more of a vertical vector... as well as lower overall IAS, theoretically reducing possible damage from a bird strike. In the US we use 1000 as their controllers like to aircraft out as fast as possible. Thrust reduction, we use 1000, and EO ACCEL is 800AGL, unless we have a SEOP that dictates a specific level off altitude.

You say "we don't use vnav", do you do all the height stuff manually?

Hello Captain! Can you provide feedback regarding the speed setting on the MCP for takeoff? Once the FMC provides a V2, I was of understanding that you add 20 additional knots as a safety margin? In this tutorial, only the V2 value is being entered in the MCP. Do operators have different SOPs regarding this? Thank you. Cheers!!

Hi Massimo. It’s important to realise V2 is flown in the event of an engine failure when conducting manoeuvring and climbing after take off hence why it’s set on the MCP. For two engines the flight directors don’t pitch for V2 but command V2 +15-20 kts 👍🏼 FD2S

At my company we usually (if we are feeling lazy) engage the AP at 400 or 500 ft and VNAV all the way to the stop altitude. My home base has a stop altitude of 5000. If we see traffic descending in our path, then we will use VS +1000 to avoid nuisance TAs or RAs. Once the flaps come up, you will accelerate to either the first speed restriction or 250kn, which ever is lower. Assuming you are below 10k, and even then we adjust the 250/10000 restriction so its 10kAGL not MSL.
