@@jakehouchin8965 I have a yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals. I would say it would be almost impossible to fly with M&K because you need to be able to make fine adjustments without looking down. It is possible, but if you really want to enjoy it, a yoke or sidestick is a must.
Man, that's too much work, lol. My airline has different checklists, but we also use FMS speeds on takeoff. We fly the flight director, and retract at the F bugs, and let the airplane accelerate on it's own. Aside from being easier, it ensures speed restrictions are met on SIDs and STARS. We only use manual speeds for landing and any kind of go-around. Well, at various times during the flight for turbulence, short speed changes, or to increase climb rate if needed as well.
This is am excellent piece of information, right to the point! Thank you! One Q though: in "wind information" it reads "350 254/90 -50", what is the "-50"?
What throttle are you using btw? Bc if you have the Boeing throttle from Thrustmasters like me I can’t seem to figure out how to bind the thrust reverses
@@TwitchGavi Theoretically no. Leave the autothrust on and let it control the speed and reducd to idle in the flare. As pilots we keep our hand on the thrust levers to feel it pull back. We also can override and pull it off faster if we are fast on final (Stall Prot speeds on). But the system is designed to be left on through the flare.
Hello Captain, I'm a B737 simulator enthusiast. I came across your series of FSS Embraer 175 videos, I've become crazy about this bird thanks to your videos. Thanks to you, I'm learning to fly this bird and to understand the whole system. My only problem is the auto throttle, which I can't get to grips with. I have the tca airbus and boeing but I can't configure them to have the reverser. I've looked everywhere, there's no tutorial, even on the Flight Sim site the explanations are not clear. Could you please help me? I've missed several take-offs because of this auto throttle problem. Thank you in advance, Captain, and thank you again for everything you've taught me about this aircraft.
The autothrottle on the Embraer is tough to simulate without an actual moving quadrant. I have the Honeycomb yoke and I use the reverse levers which is not totally accurate, but its very hard to simulate the Embraer quadrant. You would need gates or detents to do it well. I kinda accepted that it would be a kludge with any throttle quadrant.
@captnabs Really enjoying the videos! If you're interested, when we fly this airplane - after starting the APU and getting the APU GEN online we start a timer for a minute until we press the APU Bleeds ON. Not sure if that's common with everyone but debris and gunk can get in there, especially in the winter with the icing fluids - let it breathe a bit before we breathe it, and maybe more reasons! Happy Flying :)
@@OneBrightSun I honestly can't remember if that was policy at my company or not. It's been 7 years. But yes, some manufacturers even include that recommendation in the FCOM to wait 1 or 3 minutes to allow fluids to flush out of the system. The other reason is to allow the APU seals to reach operating temperature to ensure oil does not leak into the air path.
Great videos but I believe you misspoke on that last page with the TO Pitch. You said we’re remembering to keep that 11° in your example and set our horizontal stabilizer to it. As far as we’re being taught, we get pitch trim off our ACARS data and it’s more in the 3.x to 5.x range. I may have misheard. Great videos and looking forward to any that are showing the updated software.
Hi, after i take off in this plane after following all of your other previous videos steps, i can not seem to change the speed of the airplane. it stays at my v speed and when i try to increase it it does nothing. I can increase my speed manually but i was wondering why the auto throttle wont work. Is there a way to fix this?
@@yaredlemma5025 Nope. Passenger oxygen is not required for flight at or below FL250. This is why most turboprops are limited to 250. Not because the engines can't do it, but to save the weight and complexity of a passenger oxygen system.
@@CaptNabs SO CAPT NABS, checked with Ethiopian airlines Q400S, Half their Q400S hv it. Also in many places, it’s optional just like you said it to reduce complexity. Thank you 🙏🏾
@@CaptNabs 1:05. Looks like you have the steadiest head in the world or you have a custom profile to keep things steady. I just bought it and like it for looking out the window but when I look in the cockpit everything moves around. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Im just starting to read these for C172 GA flying. do you recommend LIDO or maybe something else? Maybe I missed it but I didn't see the Block time and enroute time(s) Thanks
@@Kylehikes47 The green lights can be deactivated at the airline's choice. I think most airlines turned them off because they want pilots to read the PFD directly, and not to rely on the lights. The PFD will reflect any active mode in the annunciation area at the top
Nices done, question: when i click on the flightplan, i got directed to the vatsim website to fill in the form and not the popup you are getting, is that a new way?
@@franksmit4914 Yes. The software was updated about 6 months ago. Flight plans can only be filed through the web page now. It has more details than the old form inside vPilot.
Hey man, thanks for these videos, they were a huge help to me. There have been some updates since these, any thoughts on recording new videos on the E-jets?
This is a great video. I haven’t flown on VATSIM since FSX and it was a lot different back then. I’m only just getting back in the sim and MSFS 2020 is still a learning curve - but I’m getting back into it thanks to helpful videos like these
thanks for these great tutorials i have just bought the 195. i would be happy about future tutorials on the FSS planes. Also with a slightly better resolution? than just 720p many small buttons and messages are unfortunately very difficult to read on a 4k monitor :-(
Yes, but you must make sure you change the HSI until LOC1 is active on the HSI. Unlike APP which will automatically change to LOC1, NAV will engage whatever is the current mode on the HSI: FMS or VOR/LOC.
