In this tutorial I will show you some useful tips and tricks regarding the FMC which you can use when flying the PMDG NGX. These exercises are completed on the initial part of the Type Rating using a dedicated FMS Trainer to introduce crew to some of the functions of the FMC, I’ve replicated these exercises on a simulated flight from Luton (EGGW) to Palma de Majorca (LEPA) using a Real World Operation Flight Plan.
This Tutorial barely scratches the surface and is merely an introduction to some of the more common features used on a typical flight from A to B, there’s plenty more you can do! I will make more tutorials in the future covering other features.
Exercise 1 - FMC Altitude Restriction - 00:57
Exercise 2 - ATC Shortcuts & Max Rate/Max Angle - 03:09
Exercise 3 - Change in Cruise Level - 06:04
Exercise 4 - FMC Navigational Database - 08:08
Exercise 4 - Creating and Editing Waypoints -09:35
Exercise 5 - Intercept a VOR Radial using the FMC - 11:30
Exercise 6 - Fix Page - 13:41
Exercise 7 - Offset Route - 15:42
Exercise 8 - Turbulence N1 & Engine Out - 17:10
All tutorials used are based on Boeing Recommendations and Real-World Procedures, some operators might do something differently so you can use a mixture of what you know and the procedure I show you!
THIS TUTORIAL IS NOT TO BE USED FOR REAL WORLD FLIGHT TRAINING.

It's impressive how much you've already known about the system and the concepts but still managed to explain them in such an understandable way.

@rubenzxl 5 лет назад

I’m rather new to flight simming (I have like 100 hours or so in the Zibo 737) and your videos help me a lot! In less than 20 minutes I’ve learned more than in 1 year in high school. Without your vids it’s a pain in the ass to find some good information about how to use the FMC. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ps: You’re funny too

@phipsd8388 5 лет назад

So, 6 minutes of the video are over and i already learned so much. Thank you!

@juliashenandoah3965 Год назад

This video was INCREDIBLE helpful and teaches how to really use a Boeing FMC! Thank you so much for this. Imagine having a functional weather radar and avoid the high dangerous towering clouds by the offset routs feature, and lot´s of other stuff :) pure immersion!

@Taylor314T5 2 года назад

This is gold! Why have I only just now gotten around to watching it?!? Max climb/rate, offset, and the join on VOR radial were new to me. Never come across them on Vatsim, but still useful to know and fun to fiddle with. Thanks!

@MarcSputnik 5 лет назад

Really cool and interesting for a simmer like me, who struggles with FMC on X-Plane :-D

@noel12397 4 года назад

Best tutorial! Better then the most of the PMDG 737 tutorials! Thank you for making this video, flightdeck2sim!

@gregsoper143 7 лет назад

This was an amazing tutorial. Came in handy last night. Was flying from Halifax Nova Scotia to Toronto Ontario and passing through massive thunderstorms with tops to 40000. Had to go around a few cells and used these techniques. Keep the amazing videos coming and thank you for taking the time to give us real world techniques.

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Hi Greg, thanks a lot! A little offset would've helped nicely! In reality, certainly in Europe, we would request vectors to stay upwind of any cell! All the best! FD2S.

@m4nu507 7 лет назад

i love your content, how technical it is but how well explained. I hope you can make a video on descent management through the FMC, in what scenarios is most common to use level change, vnav or VS, how to quickly input in the FMC altitude restrictions when ATC tells to you to cross AT specific altitude over a wpt, or if you are given a direct route to FAF and you are coming in too high.

@mystlegend9359 7 лет назад

Hopefully this helps you: this is all US procedures though because that’s where I normally fly in and this is how I do it in the PMDG. Cross xxx at and maintain: On the RTE page, type in the level you’d cross it at (I.e. cross SSOXS at and maintain 5000, so type /5000) and click on the right line select key for SSOXS. Make sure to set your altitude to 5000 so you level off and maintain 5000. Cross xxx at or above: On the RTE page, type in the level you’d want to cross it at or above, plus the letter A (ie. cross SSOXS at or above 5000, so type /5000A) and click on the right line select key for SSOXS. Set your altitude to something at 5000 or above. Cross xxx at or below: On the RTE page, type in the level you want to cross at or below, plus the letter B (ie. cross SSOXS at or above 7000, so type /7000B) and click the right line select key for SSOXS. Set your altitude to 7000 or below. Cross xxx at: On the Rte page, type in the level you want to cross at (ie. Cross SSOXS at 5000, so type /5000) and click on the right line select key for SSOXS. Set your altitude to your target altitude. Btw the right line select is the one with the altitudes and speed on the Rte page. Don’t know about slowing down for the FAF, but hoped this info helped you

I purposefully put myself high and explain how we can manipulate the configuration to descend back onto profile. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5KiRK1ugHRY.html Hope this helps!

In Australia we used to use Offset Route often to avoid large CB's (Thunderstorms). (Did it in the old days before FMC's too).

@santiagogaborovmilich7887 5 лет назад

Thanks a lot. The information was so helpful!!!

@steliosarapantzis5322 5 лет назад

Nice presentation. I use the offset function more often for CB avoidance when I calculate the miles left or right needed to avoid passing through the cell, asking the control for a -xx miles L/R to avoid. It is very convenient.

@flightdeck2sim 5 лет назад

Hi Stelios! Pretty much all of European Airspace above FL245 is Radar Controlled so we can just request a vector, wherever you go they are usually quite accommodating, even when it's busy! FD2S

Still the best tutorial about the 737 FMC. Using it with the Zibo version for X-Plane. Why the best ? Because you find tons of tutorial for initilization and basic procedures but nothing for inflight procedure like you show. So thank you !

@Bismuth69 7 лет назад

Thanks for explaining parts of the FMC I was wondering about (Eng Out Page). I use your Fix trick on every flight now since I learnt about it from another video of yours, I find it really helps with situational awareness and in making sure I am properly configured for the approach on time. I have had to figure out the Hold Page myself now, after being put in to a hold in KLAS (the first time this happened to me), a few times since due to Missed Approaches, and recently at EHAM (was surprised there, doesn't normally happen there). Looking forward to your Virtual Type Rating Series!

@erastmus 6 лет назад

The offset routing is used quite frequently in the U.S. to go around enroute weather. Instead of having ATC to give vectoring around the stormcells they usually opt for an offset (i.e 5-10 miles to the left/right of the edge of the cell, then clear them back on track when they've passed it. Takes a load of work off the controllers.

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Cool! Someone mentioned in the States that this is quite common! Pretty much all of European Airspace above FL245 is Radar Controlled so we can just request a vector, wherever you go they are usually quite accommodating, even when it's busy! FD2S.

@christopherfinn7986 6 лет назад

These are really excellent tutorials, focused, crisp and not too long. I’m a retired RAF FJ Nav, analogue era, using a Jetmax 738 with Sim Avionics. So I’m really interested in maximising my use of the FMC. I’ve watched the Diversion tutorial but I’d be very interested if you could take it one step further and show how to handle a last-minute change of runway and SID ? Manchester, with its southerly runways and complex airspace would make a great example. Regards Chris

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot Christopher! Runway changes in flight at short notice is a pain but on the ground it's easier to deal with. STOP taxying, re-select the runway/SID in the FMS, calculate the T/O performance and rebrief. Might look at that in a tutorial, I'll add it to the 1000 or something requested ones haha! FD2S

@flightdeck2sim 2 года назад

Hello RR 211 This is tutorial was one of the first ever recorded and edited videos so sorry about the quality, they have improved over time. I'm sorry you found the video confusing, I guess you're a non-native English speaker as you couldn't understand this video despite having 20 years experience? I'm getting far more familiar with making tutorials now and I've finessed my delivery, you might have noticed with my latest tutorials the delivery is a little clearer. These videos are recorded live and are not rehearsed beforehand so sometimes the delivery can seem rushed as I try to balance what I want to say and what doesn't really apply! However ANY feedback or criticism is taken on board! Video editing, computer programming is certainly not my strong point and will aim to continue to improve. I hope you find my other tutorials useful. Kind Regards, flightdeck2sim

@RR-pw5nb 2 года назад

@@flightdeck2sim English is my only language. I was referring to the dialog being WAY over "wordy" i.e. FAR too much conversation when going thru the steps to operate the FMS.....had to go back and review it numerous times to weed out the important points from the fluff. I suggest keeping it simple when first teaching how to set it up, and go into fine details later on...big picture first, then finer points later on.

The offset is sometimes used and recommended. There's a procedure called SLOP (Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure).Please, check it out .

@rondeldebbio9219 4 года назад

Great stuff, I am using some of your tricks, but I came across a situation from atc that I had no solution to and hope you could give me what the procedure would be and how you would go about it. ATC instructs me to go DIRECT to a VOR that is not in the FMC after I reach the first waypoint in the STAR. I was about 30nm from the first waypoint of the STAR. In a rush couldn't find the VOR on the map, but it turns out it was some distance away off course to help line up for vectoring for the approach. Could you simply add this to the fmc and substitute it for the SECOND waypoint of the STAR and go direct? Thanks again!

Hi @flightdeck2sim, this is one of my favourite tutorials, and I came back to it now, because I have a question that relates to the video. How would you enter a radial intercept in the FMC?

@nathanvandevoorde7851 5 лет назад

Hello. At 10:08 you demostrate the waypoint editing in the pmdg... As the zibo doesnt do curves yet (for now) , I'd like to have this feature in the zibo as well... Could you have a look at it please? I just made a DMI arc in the zibo, and as the first DMI arc waypoint has an angle of almost 90 degrees, the zibo will not turn or add the curve like in the pmdg. Using the feature at 10:08 would allow me to shorten the waypoint and make the angle wider so the aircraft will turn to enter the dmi arc, and not "overshoot" the waypoint. Regards.

@hanschr1234 6 лет назад

Thank you for your video. I am not a pilot, and I do not sim either. I am not sure about this, so you can correct me if I am wrong. The offset function is there because of the Strategic lateral offset procedure (SLOP). This is a procedure that became necessary when increases chances of near misses flying over for example the Atlantic due to more accurate navigation (GPS basically). Of course this should probably not happen anyway because of separation both vertically and horizontally, speed restriction and what not. But this inaccuracy in INS was just a third layer in case someone had a level change which was a bit slower then expected or something (remember, no radar over the Atlantic, so it's based on position reports etc). To try to get this extra layer of security back someone a lot smarter then me, gave this idea to someone with a lot shorter work days, longer lunch breaks and a lot more pay then I have, and made a procedure that every flight over the north Atlantic can chose to fly the track center track, 1 nm to the left, or 2 nm to the left (anywhere from the track until 2nm left, but never more then 2nm left, and never right). This is chosen by the PIC or PF at random. As far as I know this is at least used over north Atlantic, it might be used in some other big areas without radar coverage. Again, I am just an enthusiast, and I would love to proved wrong, because then it just mean that I learned something new. So please let me know if this is wrong. However, my point is that you will probably not be asked by ATC to offset your track, as this is done at PIC/PF's will, and are usually not part of flight plan, or even reported to ATC that they are offset. Position updated shall be given as normal, without the offset.

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Hans, I’ve only flown in Europe and North Africa and not along oceanic routing and not qualified to do so, I cannot answer your question using the offset function transatlantic. It sounds like you’re very knowledgable in the area! Aircraft crossing the pond are often given entry points, a specific time they must cross it and a Mach number they must fly. Whether they use the offset function I’m not too sure! FD2S

@geoffhurrell8478 3 года назад

Might you use 'offset' for weather avoidance?

@colinnelson5427 6 лет назад

I’m learning so much from your videos. Thanks for the effort you put in. How do you choose your flap setting for landing. Is it determined by the available runway?

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Colin Our Flap Setting is based on several factors but we follow the maxim "Brake to Vacate", essentially working out which taxiway we'd like to exit and then select our Flap/Autobrake combination setting based on that. FD2S

@Scarebus_Driver 7 лет назад

Regarding offsets the primary usage is more for clearances off track due weather. You can then insert the offset as a reminder of your clearance. For example....Virgin 833 request 50 miles left of route due weather...atc then clears you. You insert a 50 mile offset to remind or reintercept to go around weather without busting your clearance limit of 50nm...anyway good vid keep em coming...

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Hey Scarebus! Certainly in Europe it's always vectors around significant weather, I can remember we requested an offset once and the controller seemed rather perplexed by our request and just asked what heading we would like! ATC can also reduce separation when on a HDG when everyone is dodging weather which increases capacity! Thanks for the kind words! FD2S.

@Scarebus_Driver 7 лет назад

flightdeck2sim interesting ive only done a couple of European flights on deliveries. Its pretty much miles off track in Asia, Australia, the Pacific and US where radar coverage isnt 100% like in the EU. Most places like headings in the terminal still though! Be interested to see a vid on how you build an accurate alternate flight plan in the 73, ie with the missed approach, sid then enroute airways star and approach. Im Airbus these days (Corperate and regional prior) and am trying to work out on the NG how to see a way to plan a diversion ie alternate flight plan thats simply not direct which you never get? Does the 737 have an alternate flight plan function other than direct so you can continuously see your fuel state based on winds approaches and the enroute airways? Cool vids mate enjoying seeing the 737...

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Awesome! You've seen a lot more than me then! I've only ever flown in Europe/North Africa! I have a tutorial already covering diverting in the 738 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AXIreP5Kj0o.html We essentially select the alternate airport, select the STAR and modify the routing in the FMC. Our newer aircraft have the RTE2 function in the FMC which allows you to plan a second route to an Alternate or 2nd Sector. It's currently prohibited to use. Always wanted to have a go on the Airbus, I've sat in the back of one on a sector and never liked how the thrust lever isn't always representative of your thrust setting but it's a much nicer place to work! #traytable!!! All the best FD2S.

@antoniomorales9143 Год назад

On my last sim flight in the B738, I had a complete loss of the autopilot. The surprise put me behind the airplane and I had to handfly the rest of the way. I noticed a loss of localizer functionality as well, but the approach was within minimums and I was able to land despite IMC conditions. Do you have a video addressing this sort of situation?

@user-oq2fr9je6o 10 месяцев назад

I have a cdi gauge with airmanager I'd like to put the gps course on. Is there a switch in the 737 to make it work. I have the toggle gps button programmed in msfs but it doesn't seem to work. But it will work with say the default a320. Any advice would be much appreciated.

@roryrobson8061 3 года назад

Recently watched a JustPlanes Tui 737, approaching ILS 25L and ILS01 was also in operation and in case ATC requested them change runway they drew in a centre line of 01 through the FMC but it isn't shown how they did it. Could you explain how that's done. Cheers

@jetfuelboy 6 лет назад

Awesome videos. How do you get the FMS to have you at a specific altitude at a specific distance from a VOR/FIX. For example: Assuming you are direct to TUS VOR, ATC gives you “50 miles prior to TUS VOR cross at and maintain FL190”?

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Robert, thanks! In this example TUS/-50 at LSK1L and 190 at LSK1R. The FCOM that comes with PMDG is pretty much identical to the real aircrafts FCOM, some great guidance there 👍🏼 Good Luck! FD2S

@fernandezdavid3476 5 лет назад

Hi, thank you for all amazing tutorials!! I would like to raise the following question: you said that ECON SPD is related to CI but I am wondering ig the ECON SPD is more related to Performance data like Winds, ISA deviation, FL,.. and CI is more related to Cost either maintenance & crew + fuel cost. Hope you can clarify for me :) many thanks

@flightdeck2sim 5 лет назад

Hi Fernandez, The descent speed is only base of CI (not sure if that was what I was referring to) but ECON CLB and CRZ is based on several of those variables FD2S

Good evening FD2S First congratulations for your videos. they are excellent. I would like to know the difference beetween LVL CGH and ALT INTV and also the use of HDG SELECT Thank you

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi phih, thanks a lot! Hope to make your sim experience far more realistic! ALT INTV has many features, primarily it's used to delete altitude constraints in the FMC and to initiate descent from Cruise and is a function of VNAV LVL CHG is completely independent of the FMC and VNAV and is a basic pitch mode. It basically pitches for the airspeed you have bugged in both climb and descent I will make a dedicated tutorial in time covering automation. Good Luck! FD2S

Thank you for the video. Regarding offset, I’ve heard of some line pilots using the offset function with a very small offset such as 0.1 or 0.2 as a final safety measure against conflicts with traffic operating on the same airway. Have you ever come across this? Perhaps more applicable for Atlantic tracks or for other remote areas without good ATC coverage?

Look into SLOP for oceanic airspace. Not a bad idea for domestic also, however not company or faa approved

Hi! Very usefull video, as always! I have a question about speed restrictions. Can you enter a speed restriction based on distance? For example, if an approach says maintain 160 knots 15 nm prior to airfield because of noise restrictions?

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Scorpius, thanks! You can use the FMC to enter a speed restriction but at that point we would usually be established on the approach. Flying 160kts at 15nm would in fact create far more noise because the flaps would have to be extended, we would need to add thrust to maintain speed! We would typically aim to be flying 160kts at 6 miles and employ a CDA (continuous descent) whilst reducing speed, the idea being we can leave the thrust leavers closed until 5 miles when we start configuring gear and landing flaps. I hope this helped to answer your query! FD2S.

why is my pmdg trim trying to always correct even though I'm flying manually? maybe a little unrelated subject. I heard so many explanations that still can't understand when i see videos being done here I don't hear. on manual flying, the trim being automatically working.

A brilliant tutorial FD2S ! I wonder how many of these FMC/CDU (PMDG) features you've just shown us are implemented in the current version 3.32d of Zibomod B737-800X in X-Plane? If not all of them, how many will be implemented in the not too distant future ?

@flightdeck2sim 5 лет назад

I hope as many as possible in time! Certainly the most important elements are implemented but not all! FD2S

Hi there IDE like to thank you for your tutorials. I am new to flying the 737 and your tutorials have thought me a lot. Thou perhaps I have missed this in one of your videos.But I am confused on how to set course. For instance if the chart says After take off climb runway heading Then intercept 220 radial at 1000ft Don I enable vor Loc? At 1000ft then LNAV ? Followed by VNAV then continued flight plan? I’ve noticed sometimes captain side course setting is different from FO?Is there a video of yours which explains in great detail. That would be very much appreciated . Thanks again.

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Mike, If it's in the FMC correctly use LNAV. You could use VOR/LOC but you'd only track radials if your FMC was inoperative. My Transit Tutorial has a SID brief which explains how we back up the SID using the Courses and ground based navigation (VOR in this case) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AhkIc7iKpzk.html FD2S

Very informative and highly enjoyable. One question though; how would you set the TURB N1 % after disconnecting the AT, would this simply be manually with the thrust levers?

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Thanks Again Nigel, As simple as that! Just set the TURB N1% manually and we would let the speed fluctuate, extremely difficult to maintain speed in very strong moderate to severe turbulence, we do not chase the speed. FD2S.

@nigel1950 7 лет назад

Thanks FD2S!! Looking forward to more :-) Hope you have the time. I'm not far from your home base EGNX :-)

@niekvdc 5 лет назад

Hi FD2SIM, can you tell me if the FMC can calculate a new t/d after you have descent to a lower cruise-level? Tb Thanks in advance, Niek The Netherlands

@flightdeck2sim 5 лет назад

Hi niekvdc, So long as you update the CRZ page with your new CRZ level the FMC should generate a new TOD FD2S

Is AMB a VORTAC?

@benjamindesilets 6 лет назад

RWY Remain function in the FMC under takeoff page, when would you use this? I feel like I've seen this explained in one of your videos but I cant remember which one it was

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Ben, We don't use this information in the FMC, just the TORA from the Chart. FD2S

@aneregurrola9562 7 лет назад

Can you explain how do you use the Fix page to create those circles around the aircraft?

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Hi Aner44, You can only create circles using the Fix page around WPT's in the FMC Database, not the aircraft! Was there a part of this video you were referring too if I can help further? FD2S

@aneregurrola9562 7 лет назад

flightdeck2sim I mean, when you arrive at the airport, there are green circles around it. It's circle is bigger than the others! I want to know how to set that on my FMC. Regards!

@flightdeck2sim 7 лет назад

Aner44 have a look at 15:20 👍🏼 Aner44 got you! We place fix rings around the runway in use at your selected ARR. You can either line select key the runway in the legs page like I did in this video or physically type the runway using RW then the no. E.g. (RW24R). FD2S

@dabloclaims6884 5 лет назад

Yo man, just wanted to ask about fcu arrival, when u are making a flight plan for a relatively short flight , should you put in dep then your waypoint then arrival , after that go to perf page and fill info, or can you wait for your cruise and about 15 min before TD type in your arrival then, which one would be better . Thank you

@flightdeck2sim 5 лет назад

Hi Dablo, If it's a really short flight (eg positioning an aircraft to an airport 20 minutes away) fill in as much information as you can on the ground, including arrival information. If it changes in flight just change it in the air! FD2S

@BobbyHoskins1016 6 лет назад

Could you maybe to a tutorial on how to fly the Runway 04 inital approach without radar vectors from CASEY to ILS into stansted? im struggling to input the custom waypoints D30.0 CLN D18.0 BPK ect into the FMC :) thanks for any help

@BobbyHoskins1016 6 лет назад

the chart plate is 30-2V

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Dene. CASEY would only be flown if BKY VOR is U/S. Off the top of my head I’m not sure but If you select the ABBOT or a applicable transition it should give you good guidance. You would get radar vectored onto the ILS at some point after CASEY/ABBOT FD2S

@paul123p 3 года назад

Great info! quick question do do you set a level say 10miles before a waypoint? often get "be level 10miles before (waypoint)"

@flightdeck2sim 3 года назад

Hi Paul, Yes we do sometimes. You then create the WPT x miles before the WPT and add the restriction. FD2S

@paul123p 3 года назад

@@flightdeck2sim thought so, how’s the easiest way to program this in?

@benjamindesilets 6 лет назад

So in DES-->FORECAST-->ISA/DEV and TAI on/off insight on what are purposes of these and how you calculate each?

@flightdeck2sim 6 лет назад

Hi Ben, All the information on the DES FCST page is used by the FMC to build an Idle Thrust Descent from T/D to the E/D point, the more accurate the Forecast information the more accurate your VNAV PTH descent will be. EAI we seldom use as it's hard to predict when we will use Engine Anti Ice, ISA DEV is the ISA Deviation at our destination (Using the temperature of the METAR) Hope this helped to answer your query!
