Hi Drawyah, thanks for the awesome tutorial. There are some things that I learned flying the 787, and your feedback on some of this is appreciated: 1. I find setting the IFR flight plan from the world map is easier to find the active runway for both departure and arrival. So I usually set my arrival pattern and the ILS approach depending on the active runway. Once it's loaded in, the FMC should have all the necessary waypoints to do the approach. But I do understand that in the real world, the ATC would only give you the approach pattern when you're starting the descent and not during departure. So your tutorial to enter them to the FMC is something new that I learned from you. Thanks. 2. I find the VNAV to be inaccurate, and my descent altitude is largely depending on the ATC. Whichever altitude they assign me, that's where I set my altitude hold and V/S mode. 3. When you're about to line up for the localiser, you can push the APP button practically anytime as you begin your approach. So even if you're currently still on LNAV with V/S or ALT mode, LOC and G/S mode will be armed as white text below each of those roll and pitch modes in the PFD. So you don't need to wait until the localiser and glide slope to line up to push the LOC or APP. Pushing the APP button once will arm those modes on stand-by and will automatically activate both LOC and G/S mode whever the aircraft intercepts the localiser and the glideslope. 4. My final approach speed is usually within those zones with the yellow/brown line right above the stall zone. It automatically adjust the airspeed zone depending on the weather and your current payload. So I keep them on those zones, and I'll be in for a smooth landing. 5. Am I the only one who uses the HUD at all times? I find using the HUD is easier on landing because I can zoom in a little to keep and eye on the runway, while having the PFD being mirrored on the HUD so I can look at both the runway and keeping my airspeed in the right zone as I land. 6. When cleared to land, the aircraft will have Rollout mode and Flare mode armed under the LOC and G/S respectively, so I tend to keep my A/P on and let the aircraft flare itself on touchdown. The only thing I turn off is the A/T to keep my airspeed within the yellow/brown zone.

Thanks for the great video. Thanks to you my first airliner landing in 7 years was very smooth and a success! Thanks also to several commenters.

Excellent videos. You have really helped make my introduction into flight sims be a fun and productive one. Infinite thanks to you!

Watched the video yesterday, made my first flight and landing in an airliner today (LGAV-LIRF). Not a huge flight but for a big newbie like me it was awesome. Downloaded MFS 4 days ago and no prior experience with any sim, but I have read A LOT about airplanes in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for the content Drawyah!

Great tutorial, I'm just getting into MSFS2020 and this was very helpful, the Dreamliner is fantastic!!

Thank you my man. Has improved my landing ten fold in this.

Thanks! brilliant tutorial, I have tried several landings with this plane using my previous knowledge of other FS and I failed, your procedure works!

Brilliant, just what I needed. Thank you.

Been waiting for this since you mentioned it in yesterday's Stream... Don't have MFS2020 but soon will get it and fly...Thanks Drawyah

Thanks for this drawyah

Pretty awesome, thanks for this !

very good video i just watch it and i understood everything thank you

Hi Drawyah. Thank you for the video. Although, I didn't understand a word you said; but I managed to land the B787 successfully by following you points & clicks. Much appreciated :)

I’ve been trying to land a 787 using autopilot for three days now. I got it all figured out on my own except I couldn’t figure out how to catch the glide slope. Time after time I would be perfectly lined up with localizer A/P taking me right down the runway, only to fly right over it at a constant altitude. I could still land by disengaging A/P but then had a hairy touch and go because I realized I wasn’t slowing down despite max braking. Based on your video it looks like my mistakes were not switching from LOC to APPR and not disengaging autothrottle. I can’t wait to try out what I’ve learned here and see if it works. Thank you!

Thank you for easy to understand tutorial

Even tho i already know most of this planet i still watxh this because i learn new stuff everytime inwatxh this, thans man!

Bout to fly on an 787 in real life thought this would be a great video to learn while flying

I watched this while 300nm out from Iceland on my way over from JFK. Thanks for the tutorial!

Hi Drawyah, I watched a couple of your landings. Let me tell you, you are approaching too fast. Even though I don’t know the 787 app speed, next time try to approach at 145. You will notice a huge difference in the aircraft profile. Your airplane nose won’t be in the horizon but a few degrees up and landings will be smoother. Approaching at 170kts is too fast. Hope you try it!

Thank you for this, great tutorial. Much appreciated.

Good video, thanks!

Gorgeous flight deck.

I have this problem with the AP where it cant follow the flight path with lnav engaged, do you happen to know of any solution?

Hi.... I followed the exact method you have done, but when trying to set up for approach etc you go to simbrief and see Divam on there which I don't see.... Can you explain where I see the stars to put in the computer

Brilliant, thanks!

Best tutorial

Great tutorial, very well explained. Thnx.

Well explained.

Basically the autopilot is broken, while it can follow a course the Autothrottle, VNAV, LOC and GS capabilities all seem to be broken and you need to manage the ascent, decent and approach via setting flight angle and manually managing the throttle or use the IAS to do so. Is everyone seeing this

Nice descriptive video. Helped a lot. Thank you

Do you know how to edit a waypoint in the route? If I want to skip one and go direct to the next one?

Good stuff!

hi, are you able to performa DCT? I mean a direct to one point of FP or gave from ATC out of FP?

Ah the good old days when the 787 could pitch before landing

Hey Drawyah, great tutorial. I am having an issue when landing the 787. I arm the spoilers and hear them deploy at landing. however once I take a look from outside, the spoilers are not up. Could be that they deploy and retract for some reason or don't deploy at all. Would you happen to know what this issue is? Thnx.

Nice job 👍

nice video. But i have a problem whit LNAV, the plane follow the fly plan, but the plane does not stabilize on the route and turns from one side to the other, and never stays in a straight position. Plis help

lovely plane

How do you have the flight monitor show the terrain? it looks like it is "scanning". no matter what i do in my 787 i cant turn it on

514/5000 Hi Drawyah, Thanks for your tutorials, always a help and advice are welcome! Please keep helping us in this beautiful art of flying. I was wondering if it is possible that you will publish the first part of this video, where we could see the preparation, take off, climb and cruise which is where this video that we are flying now begins. It would be fantastic to be able to get the whole picture of this tutorial. Thank you in advance for your work and teachings. Have a good day and a good flight Oswaldo

Where in the display does it tell you if the APU is on? Seems like after I land I can’t get the APU to come on and I can’t hear if it is on because of the noise of the main engines

Thankyou for the tutorial and showing my house!

Great video.

Hello from s.korea and watched this video good tutorial thx

How did you get this sharp image of the panel? Though I've got i9 9th G with RTX 2080 graphics card, i'm not getting that quality panel. All settings are maximized. Am I missing anything?

What percent is your flaps and trim?? Do you know of anywhere to learn more about all the controls?? It won’t let me press several of my buttons on that front dash for some reason. Great video

Great tutorial very informative and it was a very smooth landing but straight onto the nose gear, no flare at all he landed with like a -1 pitch angle

How do you find your ETA to your destination in the 787?

i love the dream liner

anybody know why the speed intervention button is unavailable to me during my flight?

Hi Drawyah, how can i fly without Headings, like straight the autopilot? I cant deactivate the Headings

Excellent video. Thank you sir.

Thanx again Drawyah, I couldn't find the loc and apr buttons! The Captain sure needs long arms when flying alone😅

hai,can i see your setting graphics Microsoft flight Simulator 2020?

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It will come in useful when the 787 is maybe more optimized and so is the sim. In the 787, I get 5-10 fps even though my CPU is better than the one on the "recommended spces" and I have the same GPU as on the recommended specs.

How to do you get it to fly level on autopilot? I followed your tutorial exactly and my 787 banks left and right by 10 degrees all the time.

Can you show me how to fly direct to a waypoint if you instructed to do so by a controller....

When i turned off autopilot, the aircraft immediately banked right and ascended. I had to quickly make major manual adjustments to try and hand fly it. The point at which i disengaged was a lot closer to the runway when i was at about 300 ft. Do I need to check trim settings or something?

i wonder, why is my interface on the display screens totally different? e.g. when i click DEP ARR, like on 2:30, all i got is ACT FLPN written right under the DEP/ARR INDEX, the rest is black and i cant click anything

Dear Drawyah what's wrong and I can not have the right screen on the 787 to show me the whole instrument panel and not split in half?

Amazing video Drawyah! Do you think the flight model and aerodynamics of the simulator will ever be updated?

I have an issue by pulling up the nose at the end (before landing). I am also stopping the automatic approach and the autopilot 1k feet above ground, but it is like the elevator of the aircraft is only repsonding minimally. I have also paused the game and checked again the hole autopilot system, it was full off. Also the pitching was at 1.4, which is not unnormal. After the hard landing, everything was again normal and the elevator responded perfectly (so I am sure the problem is not my joystick). I also landed again with more speed, it was the same. Does anybody have a solution?

My flight plan works until I reach the approach phase. Afterwards, my plane keeps flying circles instead of following the last part of the flight path (I set it up already in the menu including an ILS approach). Does anyone know what I might be missing?

Multiple issues with 787 and practically impossible to land this without certain adjustments, lets hope they come up with some fixes. But well done thx for the tutorial!

Hey Drawyah, I'm wondering do you have the issue of the elevation trim of the 787. I fully disconnect the ap but the trim is still changing itself. Make it so hard to land

Hi Drawyah, i'm having issues with the "legs" function. When i choose a rw at approach, normally with the 747 you could go to the legs page and choose the waypoint you want to fly to. The 787 does that too, only when you reach the waypoint, the whole route resets. Is that a bug? And is there a way to solve that, for example to plot a new course to the rw you want? Regards, jan.

That looked like a nose gear touchdown which was not good but the approach was brilliant thank you

Can’t wait for them to add way more planes

How do you know when you should start defending? I manage to calculate TOD but I have no idea how to find out how far away you are in NM from the airport, anyone know how you can find this out?

My Inav's not working. I swing back and forth all the time. Does anyone else have these problems ?

Did they fix the ranges on the nd?

How do you add the simulation speed rate to the screen?

Hi @Drawyah, thank you for the tutorial. I followed the procedure as you did by turning on the "LOC" switch when the pink diamond laterally aligns with the runway, and by arming the approach mode when I see the diamond above the middle (vertically). When the vertical diamond hits the middle, it goes back to the LOC mode and the plane does not descend. I noticed that this happened in your video from London to Dubai. I had my LNAV off, HDG off, and my autopilot on.

Hi Drawjah, Great videos, I was wondering if you cancel flight following or have you edited it out as I found you can not fly the planed altitudes as the ATC gives you completely different FLs.

Helsinki

Heb je ook een eenvoudige versie voor de xbox controller?

VNAV is for automatic altitude change during ILS approach?

Awesome tutorial, I noticed you don’t use or appear to arm the Speedbrake, is this not common practice?

i can't maintain approach speed with flaps 25-30 after one of the patches

Hi just got the 787 this week on Monday has the nd range been fixed

Great tutorial! I tried to follow your tips, and I'm almost there now. However, for some reason I have a hard time aligning the plane with the runway for final approach. I flew ENBR - ENGM today, using a high-altitude IFR route suggested by the sim itself (not imported), with ILS approach for RW 19R. I tried multple landings, but every time after the AP made the last sharp turn prior to landing, the plane never hit the runway straight on, but always at a bad angle. Sometimes the plane even ended up in a completely random direection. I don't have this problem when I use the A320-plane. Do you what may cause this problem with the 787? Help is greatly appreciated :).

I find it never lines up with the runway and lands left/right of the runway. I set up all the ILS info ok and clicked on APR. It was much easier in FSX.

Be careful when reducing airspeed at high altitude. The flight envelope is very narrow in the thin air.

where do you get the information which tells you which STAR to use? For some reason the plane keep turning around as soon as i select it and goes to the last waypoint 😣😩

3:35 I can't catch what he says here about the DIVAM star?

I’m having a lot of trouble with programming the MCDU but I noticed you have weather radar on you MFD. zHow did you get that?

thanks again Drawyah! Great tutorial and just completed a full flight EGLL to EHAM for practice ... all went well .. cheers!

Hey ! Thx a lot for this tutorial, I just have two questions why dont you set your autobrakes for landing and why dont you put the HUD for landing ? Thx again 👌

Man I hadn’t really noticed how long the 787-10 is, that’s freaky

is the nd range fixed now?

I dont understand doesn’t vnav make the airplane descend for itself?

Is there is a DIRECT function for this system? I've been trying to go direct points but it wont let me

This video is quite old so I don't expect an answer, but how do I make the REF show up when I spawn in on approach? great video btw

How do you know the barometic pressure, like where do you look?

How do you do 4x in ma2020

My apology, if this was already explained, but where are you getting info regarding METAR data please? Thanks a lot!

So if you want to know the approach alt (the attitude which catches the glideslope) you would need to look at the last legs page waypoint alt?

Great video, thank you. But where do you get the STAR information from? Will that be provided by ATC?

Hey there, drawyah here. :)
