Ladies and gentlemen from the cockpit, we are glad to be announcing that we will be starting our descent shortly. Again excuse us that it took us 678 days but that just speaks on how great of a plane the 787 is and thank you for considering our airline as your vacation destination of choice😊
You have no idea how much this has been needed! I've pretty much exclusively learned to "fly" an airliner right here, and lets just say my takeoffs do not equal my landings. I'm actually totally new to flying and simming in general, it's been quite a learning experience.
Hi, very nice tutorial video to learn from, a lot of details, excellent for us to get that lesson, thanks. my twin brother was a captain on 787 in EL AL Airlines but retired in may this year, never got from him what I got from yours videos, THANKS, Very much appreciat
Great work as usual. I’d love a 787 HUD video! I have figured out most of the symbols myself but I’m sure I’m missing things- didn’t know about the declutter button at all.
Whilst my PC is away for repair (on/off button AOG!) I've just replayed this fantastic video - reminded me of quite a few steps to take which will hopefully reduce my errors where I just come off AP and fight for a landing 😆 Thanks again!
Thank you as always for your fantastic tutorials, I’m really enjoying learning how to fly the 787 in the sim. Approaches certainly feel a lot more busy in my opinion in a Boeing compared to the Airbus. Having to manually control the speed adds something else to have to think about.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching! Indeed there is a little more to do. The speed dial is of course a bit easier to use in the real aircraft than trying to select on the screen!
Excellent content as always. If you’re flying to an airport in real life that you haven’t been to before, do you ever practice the approach in the sim before?
The reason for the massive turn there on the approach at 7:40 is the current flight plan system uses current TAS to calculate the turns where the real unit would interpolate and use whatever speed restrictions were loaded. This is a current limitation as it's not quite an easy fix but it should display itself correctly once you get down there and slower.
So the Working Title nav displays draw the legs based on your current speed. So when you're at cruise and you look at the terminal area of the map, you're going to see the vectors drawn for mach .83 or whatever. So yeah, as you slow down in during your STAR, those legs start to get drawn properly and the WT FMS flies the route just fine.
First of all, I would like to thank you for the wonderful videos about the 787. I love to fly this plane! I would like to know which app you use to make replays, they are great too!
Awesome video. An RNAV landing video would be really appreciated. Runway 26R at CYVR. I will be the first to donate! There are no good RNAV approach videos for the 787 on RU-vid.
So I am flying for a virtual Airline on SimBit World:A Pilot's Life 2. And I've been trying to do multiple legs. But I've come into the issue where when I disconnect the autopilot after landing, the aircraft then won't let me reset it or un-disconnect when I want to fly my next leg. Maybe I'm missing it, but is there an easy way to reset the system so that way I can fly my next leg with a working? autopilot?
Brilliant! Learn't alot once again. Thanks. This is probably a silly question, but when the callouts activate (so to speak) are they measured from the belly of the aircraft or from the wheels? If that makes sense.
Thank you for watching! They are measuring the height from the bottom of the lowest wheels to the ground. That is why on the ground it actually realds a negative number, as the gear is now compressed. I talk about this a bit in my upcoming detailed landing tutorial!
I never realised that is how FLCH worked, I always thought it would do either climb thrust, or thrust idle, and then pitch for that speed to get to the appropriate level. Also that bug where the throttles went to max on approach doing FLCH is very stressful on VATSIM, you are about to fly through the ILS, and the controller is trying to give you vectors.
Can you do a video on a Go-Arounds? I've tried and maybe it's my settings but I hit TOGA and it initially goes to climb power but then the power comes back and I have to turn off the AT's and try to get climb power. Also is it possible to bind a key for the "declutter" mode? Rather than using the mouse to press the button?
For me the ILS wasn’t automatically tuned in the NAV RAD page, do you have any ideas as to why that might be? Also, I loaded my flight plan through Microsoft Flight Sim and the approach route was also awfully loaded in, it has duplicated a couple of the waypoints and was just a mess so I had to delete out the duplicated ones. Good job I checked the plan view in the cruise!
Excellent tutorial again, thanks 👏🏻🛫 (edit) I tested an ILS appr with the 789 horizon latest update but with entering the glidepath I got a problem with the AP and AT. The speed was suddenly going trough the roof (240 and higher) as I was configured with flap 15. I had to GA. Anyone also problems with an ILS approach?
I'm glad you guys are here to watch a landing video. pls dont fly a plane w/o knowing how to land. we all know how that went the last time it happened.
Great video! What’s the reason why you don’t put your arrival from the ground? Is it incase you have to turn back around to airport incase of engine failure?
Hi! I have a problem that sometimes with the 787 if i fly on LNAV, change to HDH due Vatsim vectors and back to LNAV again the aircraft is stuck on HDG and not lett me change to LNAV! Have you or some other peopel here have the same problem?
Hello! I am very confused about something and can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. It is probably me overlooking something but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a top of descent to the flight plan? I want VNAV to be able to descend for me according to it but I can’t figure out how to add a T/D to the flight plan? Am I overlooking something? Thank you!
@@CritiquewithEllison How would I check this? I usually just create my flight plan from the discover page with the globe instead of manually typing it in.
Is the "big loop" after LAM because it draws the route based on the aircraft's current speed, and not the planned speed? As with the FBW A20N, I have seen the loops ahead reduce in size as I have reduced the speed.
I think it is because of the BNN131 waypoint just past the runway centerline. I think you would get a better result if you deleted that. I got the correct path when I set this up recently.
