Real 737 Captain Tutorial | Engine Failure on Final | Continue or Go-Around? 

I remember the Ryr 4102 flight from Frankfurt to Rome Ciampino in 2008. Just to remember how important this procedure is.

Easier to ditch on a big river than gliding it to nearby airport runway.. Which is smaller than a big river..

Hi Scotty63! Good point, with an engine failure at such a late stage you cannot really diagnose the engine failure. It might have simply flamed out, have severe damage or it could be leaking all sorts! If unsure best come to a full stop ASAP to complete any memory item and then decided to vacate. Same applies with a high speed RTO. FD2S

It’s in case of an evacuation, same as during an rto as it functions as a slide. The 73 being low to the ground just uses the flaps as a slide :)

For the possibility of an evacuation, I believe it's so that the emergency slides can properly fall down.

Hi George! Great question, with two engines if your flaps are F15 or greater retract them to F15. For flap settings less than F15 leave them where they are when you initiate the go around and then continue flap retraction as usual. FD2S

@@flightdeck2sim Thanks for the response. Great tutorial 👍

That question 😂 He is actually allowed to say but he wants to maintain some privacy

Ahh alright then... Sorry

Hi Liam! In XP11's settings you can select from all sorts of failures and you can select the speed/altitude or assign a command for the particular item to fail. FD2S

The plug-in is called B2 Volume Control. 👍🏼 FD2S

Take a look at traffic global ;)

Hi G L, At this late stage of the approach it is far more important to fly the aircraft to a landing or go around. Time permitting PM will diagnose the failure and if required complete any memory items. FD2S

Hi Kevin, very much dependent where you are and the nature of the emergency. Less than 500ft you really don’t have the time to start initiating memory items/checklists. A few miles before PM might have time to complete any applicable memory items. If you initiate a missed approach the memory items must be executed as soon as possible once you’re above 400ft. FD2S

@@flightdeck2sim I figured as much. In this tutorial, it just spooled down at 700 ft or so. What would the FO have done had it been accompanied by a bang and a fire warning? And what, if anything, would prompt a go-around once you are that low? Thanks! Love the channel!

@@kevinkirkland8762 same as above, dependent on the nature of the emergency. Time permitting PM will carry out any memory items. You would have to initiate a go around if in IMC or if you still didn’t make the stabilised approach criteria. FD2S

Time permitting yes but at this phase the key thing is fly the aircraft, be it to a landing or go around FD2S

Hi Enoch, if the F/O was managing it well I'd let him continue the approach. FD2S

@@flightdeck2sim thank you very much Captain. Could you make an in-depth video on the autopilot system of the 737, especially information in respect to the PFD. For the example the airbus has all the information about the active autopilot modes given in the PFD with specific colour coding and boxes or stars. So is there something similar in the 737.

To assist evacuation on over wing section

So passengers can evacuate on the wing and slide off the back.

@@Raybob95 So do they still use the slides?

@@jimbo_bomberino8606 don’t think the 737 has slides on the wings

@@tomstravels520 oh ok then that makes sense now

So pax can slide down them during evacuation

@@tomstravels520 makes sense

Haha my reaction exactly, though my phone is showing I’m 5 seconds ahead I bet yours is showing you were first as well!

Mine was showing 2 mins. Welcome to the early gang, my friends
