Finally a Learjet! Flysimware Learjet 35a FIRST FLIGHT 

What a great flight. I am 72 years old I I know this for a fact. Back in the late 1960s and 1970s there were two types of transport aircraft that the general public could identify, even if they knew nothing about aviation. The first was a B 727 and the second was a Learjet.

For proper fuel loading on the Lear 35 the Tip tanks and Wing tanks are your Main Tanks. The Fuselage Tank is your "Aux Tank" and is only filled by the electric wing tanks. Then when you want to use the Fuselage Tank, you transfer the fuel back into the Wing tanks. The Wing Tanks are your engine feed tanks. Its physically not possible to take off with empty tip tanks, and full wing and fuselage tanks. All refueling is done manually into the tip tanks. And if fueling a Lear with tip tanks the rule was 100 gallons per side until full.

This is a good looking model, I am a mechanic who has worked on a Lear 35A, and the nose wheel well is that spartan, not much up there, the black dot on the RH wing is the ice detection spot, so that if you build up any ice you will see it against the black color. The black on the wing tip landing lights is so the lights don't shine into the cockpit at night. Our airplane only had the one on the RH tip tank, not sure if it was available on both sides. The clamshell thrust reversers, not sure if it was ever available as an option on the 35, it was on the 31 for sure. The 35 had the Aeronca thrust reversers which slide back and forth to open the reverser section.

Man, when I was 19 years old, I started my airframe and powerplant apprenticeship at my uncles business, called FS air service in Alaska. Sadly he passed away from scuding into a island at St. George in Alaska. But while becoming an airframe and powerplant (A&P) I worked on Lear 35s and 25s. in the late 90s very early 2000s. The 35 has a special place in my heart and the 25 due to how loud its engines are. This video brought back so many cool memories. Thanks for sharing.

To lock the upper door, there is a switch on the lower door, right side near the clickspot for lowering the lower door which "sucks" in the upper door to enable you to lock it. I suppose in real the seals are hard and difficult to compress, so it uses an electrical motor to pull the door in on the seals so you can lock it. When opening, you have to flick that switch also so the door will release.

You have quickly become my favorite flight sim content creator. You are doing great things for the community. I don't know where you find the time but your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Emanuel, your extensive real-world knowledge and experience with aircraft systems and piloting expertise makes you (in my opinion) the consummate CFI/I for flight simming. As a child of the 60s, I became enthralled with the Learjet 35 at a young age and had a die-cast model of one when I was about 7 years old. After watching this video, I've decided to purchase the Learjet you demonstrated as soon as it's available for public release. Thank you so much!

There was a fantastic article by someone who was a junior CPL in the auto industry freight business in the 80s, when a lot of operators realised the cost-per-mile of a secondhand Learjet was about the same as a Beech 18, and a lot of small freighter pilots found themselves delivering cardboard boxes of high-value car parts around the midwestern US in Learjets. A lot of shady practices before the FAA cracked down… like having covert "go fast" switches under the panel to disconnect the mach limiter…

I’ve been flying this plane a lot it’s really great fun and a good mix of modern and classic instruments. It’s takes some effort and knowledge to fly well and has a lot of quirks. However once you get to know these things it’s a dream to fly. I must admit I always loved the Learjet style and this just looks amazing. There’s a great community on their discord page with so much knowledge being shared it’s a great read. My fav jet in the sim atm and knowing the effort being put into it by the devs means it’s going to be a special aircraft in the sim when finally released. Worth every penny at this stage and If it gets close to 414 I b/e /a very happy pilot. Thx for the videos and showing how rewarding this aircraft is to fly properly

Thank you for the ride. I see good thingsfor this learjet. Some of us are still in "the good old days of P3D" because it has a true pause function, essential in non-accelerated simulated long flights for me, though I also enjoy the tremendous visuals in MSFS. Happy New Year.

That's neat. I fly into Sedona in real life a lot. Looks pretty realistic. Typically we land runway 21 at Sedona. That turbulence before landing is super realistic. It's the air falling off the mesa at the ends of the runways. It will suck you down. Typically stay a little high. Try to hit the lunch menu at the restaurant the carne asada is where it's at.

Thanks for the video! This is a great addition to FS. Been flying this prerelease for a few days now and cannot complain as a good classic bizjet w/steam gauges has been sorely needed. I see at least one commentor below asking for the Jetstar - I totally agree! Hoping that for the final release flysimware will improve the sounds a bit and support at least a basic level of failure modeling, simplistic engine and electrical would be enough. But even as is, this is very hard to fault. ILS approaches are a gas with this thing.

The little black circle on the wing isn’t a light, it’s an ice detection spot. That’s what the wing light shines on. Ice is hard to see on polished chrome :)

Great video!! The Lear 35 is the only private jet I've ever flown on so very cool to see it in the sim. Not sure I quite understood how the autopilot was working, but will go back and study. Thanks for doing this!!

Such an old Flight Sim plane… one of the originals

The clicking sounds are the N1/N2 dials mechanically rolling and the pitch trim clacker. There's an option in the EFB to turn them off.

Btw my engine temps differ too so that’s good to see your getting the same results.

Awesome video. Quite enjoying this aircraft myself. Always liked it in P3D.

A real flight tutorial thank you. The only drawback with my flight was the engines would not turn off. Yes, Navi graph charts would be a great addition.

The seat texture looks amazing

of course you know you can preplan your flight in little nav map,it’s free and then export to msfs. Then you can bring in the entire plan on your Garmin. But maybe you like entering the flight plan over and over.

I am just learning for my microlight RPL MLA license - I typically ALWAYS follow my checklists! Hope to continue that after having obtained my license :-)

So cool seeing old style instruments

Soooooooo fast…thank you so much I have always loved the Lear jets

Danke ! Always enjoy your video creations 😊

Great flight. Thanks a lot.

Just bought it glad I watched your video now going to try a first flight

Danke für den guten Content. Schaue fast jedes Video von dir und habe eine Menge gelernt. Always Blue Skies and Safe Landings! Greetings from Thailand!

The clickingsound is the N1 digit clicker. You can turn it off in the EFB

I love your content. One plane I would love to see you fly through is the hotstart challenger 650 for Xplane 12. The plane is so realistic and awesome

I think this is my favorite jet in the sim right now. :). That’s for the review, they just dropped 1.05 this morning, so he’s keeping up a on the progress. :)

Bought it. I used to do run ups for maintenance in the 35

You need to run the door hooks before you can close the handle. The switch is on the bottom right of the lower clamshell. I didn't watch much past this, but fly these things, so if you have more questions, let me know.

love your videos. You are the best!

Why did you not use the VS Mode button on the FCU or the ALT Select button. The VS Mode would of kept your Set VS as would of the IAS. And the ALT SEL mode would of captured the ALT FL4500 for you? You can fly this like the BAE-146 with Pitch Sync. This plane is incredible and for a Eraly Access it is in better shape than most Final releases. It has also been updated to 1.5 with many additional Bindings added for the steering lock etc.

Great demo flight

Nice - Purchase when documents are avail. Not correct with less maintenance on one engine. More likely a difference in hours since overhaul with different EGT margin left. Nice to see it simulated. With a new 737, we always staggered with an older engine. With both due for replacement, and changing both engines at same time, testflight is required. Not so with a single engine replacement.. Result is different EGT margin is normal. In summer I rigged with forward thrust set even. In winter I rigged with reverser thrust set even to avoid yaw during rollout on ice/snow. Pilots was happy with this solution.

Thanks so much! Great video since we don't have a manual.

Aye Van Nuys! I know you fly at US airports in the sim occasionally. Would love to see you fly out of KSNA and do the departure procedure for that airport with the noise restrictions they have there on either the 737 or A320. Would be fun to see.

Would be cool to get something like the Global 7000 for the sim.

If you click the small icon on the right. You can use the computer keyboard to set things up in the GPS. quicker than the knobs.

The black patch you see out by the fuel pod, isn't a light, but an Ice Detection Patch.

Very good ! Can you please(in the near future) do a flight with Learjet 35A with GPS

Really fun plane to fly!

I see the girl passing her flight time on My Little Poney Ng Driver youtube Chanel. 😂 Very good show as usual 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for mentioning the available flight levels above RVSM airspace. This is handled incorrectly quite often on VATSIM for example ("I need you on an even flight level, do you prefer 420 or 440?")!

Enjoyed every flight I have done in this aircraft, although having done a lot of flights in their p3d version helps. Great release tbh...

You said it doesn't have Mach hold, but the speed hold button seems to have "IAS" and "M" labels. Is that a weird and realistic quirk of the plane, or has it just not been implemented yet?

Hope this comes to the market place

The glass reflections are dire. Especially the weather radar.

Looks like it entered the departure procedure before the departure airport.

Do you usually takeoff without any FD indication ? Or does the plane have no such functionality ?

It's exactly like going back to the old Sublogic FS2 on the Amiga, Learjet. I mean, I cannot tell the difference. You're not playing this on Amiga, right? If you could take it off out of Oakland over the bay next time, that would be some nostalgia right there.

You should consider showing the landing gear, spoilers, and flaps animations😢

Great video! Out of interest what mic are you using?

For those who have this and who own other jets in MSFS, which one is the best/most realistic/most baked? Phantom? This one?

What addon are you using for camera shakes on touchdown? Is that FsRealistic?

I hope they come out with a 31A. Basically the same airplane but with the longhorn wing. Better wing, less range

how u get it to turn fast mine turns extremely slow like it just goes into the grass when im turning

Is it just me or did they take the engine sounds straight out of the default FSX learjet?

is this for MSFS? because i cant find where to buy it.

the sounds needs a lot of improvement, it sounds like a thunderstorm going off in the cockpit

Unless winds arnt favorable you would use 16R in Van Nuys. 90% of the year.

I would love to know when this is going to hit the marketplace for Xbox

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I just brought MSFS last week and I notice you have a floating tablet checklist. Is this a mod? and if so, can it be used in VR?

I still wouldn't fly in one in real life, iconic craft though.

Ce Learjet 35 a me semble fantastique !! bravo. Cependant peux t-on espérer voir un jour arrivé un Learjet 45 sous fs 2020 qui est une tradition normalement ?

Had to do a double take.... the transponder shows N145AJ but the tail number shows N421SV

nice video we need a Jetstar!!!!

have you ever done a video on the BAe 146 avro jet?

Really great and informative video! I really like you explaining everything in detail :) From a scale from 1-10 how would you describe the airplane in its current state? Greetings from Denmark

Das passt zwar nicht wirklich zum Thema vom Video, aber ich frag mich wann aerosoft mal mehr Videos zum a330 zeigt, oder ein möglicher Zeitraum, wann wir das Ding erwarten können

Where did you get your info there are P3D textures inside the cockpit. There is over 9 months of work on new UV's and textures. You might want to do some side by side comparisons. Some of the interior and exterior textures are just not complete as we stated this in our stores product page. We threw away all the old P3D textures and started from scratch using Substance.

Are people actually using the toilet seat? Is there no curtain available?

With these realistic complicated aircraft you probably need the same ground school the real pilots need. This isn't a Tiger Moth.

Well.. it’s a hot take to say a private jet doesn’t fly that much. At least in Europe, a very good amount of Light and Super-Light private jets indeed see quite a significant number of Hours logged per Year as many of them are operated under an AOC and are available for hire. With my former company they saw about 600 to as high as 800 hrs annually per airframe. I mean… yes, it’s nothing compared to e.g. a FR 737 but yet not a marginal number either. 😅

I realize it's pre-release, but it seems that sounds still need a lot of work.

Our company had 6 Lear jets that each flew about 300 days per year. To large businesses, they are a time machine, and don’t merely fly the rich guy 12 hrs a year.

you should try nvidia broacast to filter off your background noises. the keyboard / mouse clicks are pretty annoying - no offense just something to improve

If you are rich enough to afford one of these, fuel economy is probably not a consideration. 😊

I think MSFS2020 needs a CITATION BRAVO more than anything else , but we will start with a Lear .

Can you talk about JL516?

Nice looking plane but terrible sound package!

Taylor swift simulator

Did you say general aviation tends to not do checklists? Typical airline pilot.
