Overall, great video. Just a couple notes since most of us flying the Zibo are looking for 100% realism. 1) Wing tanks must be full prior to adding fuel to the center tank. I know you were in tutorial creation mode, but I want to avoid 737 pilots from making this mistake. This is taken from an actual Boeing 737 Ops Manual. 2)The reserve amount is actually your ALT APT+ FINRES since you are "reserving" the fuel needed to divert. This is confirmed by flightdeck2sim's FMC tutorial. 3) You don't have to manually enter the center of gravity CG or the OAT, just press the softkey and they will auto fill using the info from your MCP and AVITAB weight. 4) The avg wind direction/spd can be found in the Simbrief where you see "TOC" for top of climb. The ISA DEV temp is also listed a line or two below the wind direction/spd and begins with a "P".

Sim 737 Pilot thanks for the feedback. I agree on the realism aspect. Unfortunately, we’ve found in many forums low time “pilots” jump straight into the Zibo since it’s a fantastic “payware” quality aircraft for free! Care should be exercised when loading fuel as you state. Many may be unaware that loading the fuel in the center tank increases stress loading on the wing spars and support structures. This being the reason why fuel is burned from the wings last. I think sometimes the reserve fuel quantity is often mixed up. Since it’s a “bingo” fuel level, its awareness is extremely important. The alternate fuel is typically designated in flight planning as “alternate fuel” but this may differ among carriers. Part 121 of the US 19 CFR provides further reading for those interested in fuel requirements for air carriers within the US or its territories. I’m sure there is an ICAO version as well, but they are probably very similar. Thanks again for helping grow the knowledge base of the sim community!

I love how you walk through this process slowly. It really helps me a lot. Thanks!

The best tutorial i watched so far. +1 sub! -one question though, what do we do regarding “unable crz alt” msg?

@FlightBrothersFT

5 жыл бұрын

@Francis Meceda Thank you for the feedback. 'Unable Crz Alt' can be caused by a few things. If you setup your aircraft and FMC according to simbrief (we have an FMC video and an Airline Flight Planning video on those topics), you can likely clear the warning and ignore it. Here are a few reasons the FMC would warn you: 1- Your trip is short enough there isn't time to reach the cruise altitude you set in the FMC, 2- Your trip includes a step climb, and you have programmed the highest step in the FMC. Typically the aircraft is too heavy to reach its final step right after takeoff, and that is what cues the warning. As long as you program the FMC and MCP to complete each step (as per simbrief), you should be fine.

Thanks a lot :p This tutorial is amazing

Sure, your progress page shows your estimated fuel at destination. Look at the current fuel on board as you’re planning the descent. Subtract the amount of fuel you have from the destination from your current fuel load, then adjust the gross weight by that amount. I.E. destination FOB 8.0, current 9.3. Current gross 110. Since we are estimated to burn 1.3, our estimated gross at arrival would be 110-1.3 = 108.7 then the ref flap speeds should recalculate.

Arrivals installation is a matter of preference. If you're simming off-line, then the only thing that would change your runway and STAR is a wind change. In the real world, or on an online ATC platform (like VATSIM), you might choose to wait until you have a better idea of where ATC might send you.

HI I DOUBLE CLICK FMC AND IT DOESNT OPEN NOTING HAPPENS

Sorry for the confusion. Skyvector is a flight planning resource, but you have to input the origin, destination, and full route. To generate a route most sim pilots use Simbrief. Please checkout our video titled 'Airline Flight Planning' to see exactly how to get that route.

30:47 just click 1st button like everything data coming from somewhere on airplane that is readable. so just click it.99% sure it fill same lol.if you genious pilot you think ahead and put what it will be when you actually takeoff lol

Skyvector does not generate routes. You would use simbrief to get an auto generated routing. Check our Airline Flight Planning video for specific directions.

Sorry, this is the only version we have right now. It is a complex setup, and it makes more sense going slow having everything explained. Here is the a quick list from my memory of you want an overview. Position Init. Enter departure airport, enter arrival airport. Enter route. Select departure SID. Set cruise altitude. Set OAT and weight. Select engine performance or derate. Select V speeds. Execute all input data. Check for discontinuities on legs page. Verify plan on MFD using step function. Select STAR prior to departure or enroute.

Great question @LopsicYT, and thank you for including the time stamp! Skyvector.com isn't required, but it is a good reference. We simply use Skyvector to visualize the route. Our route was created by Simbrief.com, and mimics the real United route. We strongly recommend Simbrief, but you can also make your own routes by looking at the charts (another use for Skyvector) or simply copy and paste a route from a real flight on Flightaware. I hope that helps. If not, keep the questions coming!

The huge benefit with Skyvector is free pdf charts you can save in your avitab/charts folder or on your desktop (I use my ipad on my yoke) so that you have the necessary airport, SIDS, STARS, and runway charts. This is very important if you are flying online with ATC services.

I cannot see the altitude. 13:08

350, meaning FL350, Flight level 35,000 which is 35,000 ft with the altimeter set to STD (29.92).

But...how to find flight code or flight number?

@FlightBrothersFT

Yasin Haidar if you are referring to the Airline flight number, that can be anything. At FBFT, we generally go to FlightAware or Flightradar24.com, find a route/aircraft we want to fly, then that is what we use for that flight. I hope this answers your question, if not, get back with us and we will respond as soon as we can.

I use flightaware.com. I search the origin and destination airports I want to fly. Then I look for my preferred livery (United) in the results and look for a B737 or B738 as aircraft so I know it is realistically possible, especially if I want to fly a longer route.

How do you get the sids ?

Altimeter settings come from the departure and arrival airport ATIS transmissions. At cruise, you will use STD which is 29.92

My apologies, while we try to do things correctly there frequently are mistakes and we try to acknowledge them as they arise. We could reshoot or edit these out, but making mistakes is a very real part of the sim experience for most air-chair pilots so we have decided to leave them. Here is some more polished information if the errors in the video are causing confusion. www.b737.org.uk/fmc.htm
