50:06 I cried of laughter 😂😂😂

Rotate... AND WE BACK on the gound, welcome back to amsterdam guys! hahaha

ETOPS - Engines Turning Or Passengers Swimming

KLM still operates the Amsterdam-St Maarten route. They first used the MD-11 on the routes, then changed to the B747-400M (M stands for mixed class configuration), and changed to an A330-200 operating this route from 2016 onwards.

Another fantastic video! Really enjoying the full flights back on KZfaq, thanks Matt!

@Matt, Rwy 36L is built so remotely from terminal because of the noise issue.. If you take a close look at the map and study dep and arr done on this rwy, you will notice that there is a corridor straight ahead on arr and dep with much less buildings underneath. The Dutch calculate and build logistic infrastructure very carefully and with attention to noise/pollution aspects.

I have been waiting for years for you to do this flight! You have surely delivered!

All you lurkers, comment something to get Matt's channel back in the swing of things. This channel needs more viewer engagement!

Oh yeah!! Another one of these!! Loving this kind of content Matt. Keep it up!!

It's videos like these that made us love your channel Matt, welcome back!

fantastic video matt! been watching your channel for the last couple years and really enjoy all the content. keep up the good work !

I like the new way you're doing things Matt! Very enjoyable and engaging.

ETOPS was developed for twin engine aircraft flying over water. It doesn't apply to 4 engine aircraft

Great looking video as usual! Keep up the good work man!

Im so happy that these full flights are back! Great video Matt! btw KLM 747s have the seperate standby flight instruments not ISFD

The videos we've all been waiting for!

Good to see you doing what you do best Matt. Top work 👍

YAY 747!!! I remember requesting this plane like a year ago or so, so so happy to see it!! When it comes out, please do a flight with the 787!

Awesome Video Matt. Keep Up The Great Work. Hope Your Doing Well.

Brilliant videos Matt. Keep them coming!

Rest in peace matt❤

22:35 made me chuckle. It is true that 36L (Polderbaan) is in the middle of nowhere, and the few times I've landed there it took absolute ages to get to the gate.

I'm so happy you did this video. great flight

Nooooooooooooooooo! Love to see the full in-depth, as in all the planning too ! Those who don't like it can skip forward.. Keep em coming Matt ! Thanks for your hard work :)

Another epic video Matt, thank you for sharing

Great video matt. Keep up the great work with project fly!!

love your full in depth flight videos. great and entertaining stuff. continue like this.

Matt you are a hero to all us plane geeks!! Keep up the great work - you're basically my netflix and chill

I think the Combi was originally designed for routes that weren't quite able to fill the full capacity of the 747, but was heavy on cargo. As for the difference between the Pratt & Whitney and General Electric engines, another easy way to tell is looking at the upper EICAS. The Pratt & Whitney engines use EPR, whereas the General Electric engines do not.

happy to watch your video back matt ;)

Great vid Matt keep the good vibe going

Awesome video Matt, i live in Bermuda, and was hoping it'll be mentioned in this video haha!

This level of detail is great for true flight simmers😊 Thanks 👏

Oh my god oh my god oh my god finally... I've been waiting for a 747 video for ages :D

Hi Matt thank you for putting another full video up. You could make a combi profile in PFPX by in the aircraft editor setting the pax to 268 and max cargo to 36287.4 kgs (combi takes 40 tonnes of cargo) Hyd Aux 1 is just a backup, you only need to set 4 to Aux on startup and 1-3 to off. And you always forget to enter the set mach speed for oceanic crossings!

Ground power is connected near the nosewheel of the aircraft via a little hatch. Ground conditioned air is connected to the air mix manifold under the aircraft, same applies for air needed to start the engine except it is supplied straight to the pressure duct (in the event of an inop APU). This provides pneumatic air to start 1 engine, which which is then disconnected, the running engine is then give a cross bleed to start the remaining engine(s)

Sweet another video, Keep up the good work

Very nice it's like a tutorial I'm a very big fan of these videos and a full flight from LHR-SFO with the 777 would be great. 👌🏻 Keep going Matt👌🏻👍

Nice Video man, Keep it up! :)

Hi There Matt. Great Video's!! Keep it up. Love the EHAM airport and PMDG aircraft. The pitch thing you noticed the fokker doing at 32:17 might be a NADP2 departure. For noise abatement departing aircraft will not climb out with a continuous climbrate, but will reduce climbrate and clean up and accellerate the aircraft first before resuming climb out. This procedure is very common at EHAM airport. This means the aircraft, after reaching 1500ft, wil stay lower to the ground relative to NADP1 or older procedures for a short while, reducing the "sound footprint" ( imagine sound being projected to the ground in a cone like shape ) Lower flight means a smaller cone. Also because the aircraft accelerates sooner, the "event" of the aircraft passing will be shorter. Thus again, reducing noise. As soon as the configuration is cleaned up and the aircraft is accellerated it will resume climb. Since Fokkers don't need a lot of flaps for takeoff the NADP2 "dip" isn't as pronounced as it is with for instance a 744 departing with flaps 20. I don't know if you are familiar with NADP2 procedures. But look it up. It might explain the climbrates as seen in the video. links: www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/3/airports/nieuwe-startprocedure-geintroduceerd-op-schiphol www.caac.gov.cn/ZTZL/RDZT/XJSYY/201511/P020151126413570993899.pdf www.pprune.org/atc-issues/340975-nadp1-nadp2.html Cheers!

Tough School Day --> Matt's Video --> *Ughhhh* :) Keep up the great work Mate ;)

Hey Matt, when they retract the gear, there's a subtle leveling of the plane. Usually nothing noticeable but if you look at spotting videos you see it.

Great video mate keep it up

I believe there is an option in the FMC to fix the sound. It's something like Setup-Aircraft-Sound and then mute on focus loss.

I just like watching matt looking at the Ultimate traffic planes and spotting.

You know its gonna be good :) And when GSX doesn't like it just go to edit airport in the addons and click the plane next to the wingspan and it should work And for sound go options -> sound -> in ext view put that to yes and in bck ground put that to yes

Absolutely fantastic takeoff 😂😀 Pure talent👌

"Welcome back to Amsterdam!" This is why I love your videos.

Lovin these full in-depth flights bro Loving it!! Would love to suggest some flights for you for the future, perhaps away from the UK areas. Btw, taking a 90 degree turn onto the runway with a heavy 747-400 at 15 knots would probably have those nose gear tires skidding away Lmao

Hi Matt, the gorlo3v and 1z. The 1z is for early departures, because people are complaining about the noise so in the morning they use the 1z and in the afternoon you use the 3v. BTW nice vid ;)

52:14 thats not Amsterdam you see there, that is Haarlem

Hi Matt, another excellent video, please may we have more 737 Ryanair flights. I really like their route to Podgorica. Thanks and keep up your amazing work!

the video is been rendered in 1920x1080p @ 60fps, but Matt's screen and game is set to native 4K, so for people watching the video, the video gets compress to 1920x1080p and may make overpixelate an area but mostly should not effect people, but all depending on what screen you use.

HOP is owned by Air France. Love your videos Matt! I do remember when you did LHR-PHL in the BAW 777 with one of your friends and it would be cool to see the return flight with the PMDG 747. BAW started flying the 747 on that route now😀

love watching these. Perhaps Heathrow - Dubai next?

BEST KZfaqR: MATT DAVIES! YOU HAVE EARNED MY SUB DUDE :D

I love these kinda videos. just simply love them. and is the traffic from VATSIM or something else

Matt is the best FSX youtuber!

'And there we are back on the ground, welcome to Amsterdam'. That really made me lol. Happened to me out of LHR the other week.

You should fly this more often! great video!

to this day, i still cant get over how funny the 36L rant is

Love the videos. maybe a flight into Salzburg from somewhere. you landed at SEN and the scenery was incredible, maybe like the jet2 video but with EasyJet out of Southend. they only have at max 10 flights

Matt, the flight that I suggested is also fun in the EL AL 747-200

AFAIK, there's a setting in the 'sounds' option in the PMDG settings in the FMC to continue playing the sounds while tabbed out (along with the setting in P3D). If you enable both of them, then sound shouldn't cut out when you tab out :D works the same for the 777, but not an option in the 737

Matt is correct about his questioning regarding 4-engine aircraft and the 'new' ETOPS term. ETOPS itself is outdated and being replaced by EDTO procedures, standing for Extended Diversion Time Operations which apply to all aircraft regardless of the number of engines. EDTO for four engined aircraft is defined as operations over a route that contains a point further than 180 minutes flying time in still air at the specified all engines operative cruising speed from an adequate airport. As such, the 744 in my company are operating under 195 minutes EDTO and the 748 under 240 minutes.

Matt you could do an update to your Addons, Scenery configurations and stuff like that. And thumbs up! Those full flight videos are amazing, would like to see more of them hopping across europe or something like that.

Thanks for showing the planning! Just for info the view to the city you had on departure was not Amsterdam, it was Haarlem

Good Vid man!

another great Video by Matt gg man :)

You are right, for the 747 to get into ETOPS in the North Atlantic, you have to be greater than 180 minutes from a suitable alternate with an engine inoperative versus the 60 minutes for 2 engine airplanes. Most tracks and alternates in the North Atlantic fall under the 120 minute ETOPs so the 747 does not need to be ETOPS. ETOPS 180 covers like 95% of the earths surface, the -8I has achieved ETOPS 330 approval if granted by authority.

When you mentioned about the bicycle I was thinking I had heard it before but I think I'm mistaking it for the decapitation story. If it was the one on a tandem then I'm thinking if the right one. I think I heard you talking about it around the time the 747 came out.

Hi Matt. The -Z sids are night time sids (after 2300z local). Also goes for star transitions. And 36L is so far away because of noise abatement reasons... :-(

Perfect this part

THAT WAS THE GREATEST TAKEOFF OF ALL TIME

Great video yet again Matt ! It would be great if yould could do a flight in Australia.

Thanks Matt X

To clmb direct go to VNAV page and select climb direct it will cancel all the altitude restrictions and climb to mcp altitude

hi matt i love this pllane amazing to fly

Lufthansa 747 from Frankfurt to Kai Tak and/or SWISS 777 or A320 Zürich to Vienna or SWISS 777 long hall from Zürich; would be amazing

Can someone tell me if the PMDG 747 has the same problem as the 777 where the view position in the VC moves as you turn the aircraft left or right?

Would love to an in depth Dash 8 flight, that plane's always boggled my mind

well.... Amsterdam is difficult i know, but if you understand it, it's quite easy. RWY 36L/18R is made so the A380 can land and take-off, There are 2 Gorlo dep. because the Gorlo 1Z dep. is a night transition. Thats all, once again a great vidio.

Matt, you should do a setup/planning video for the Q400! It would be nice to know how to calculate V-Speeds and how to do the load manager since you can't simply type in a ZFW.

Fantastic, keep the hard work going! It will be nice though if you make a sort of "OBS tutorial" or "OBS config for flight sim recording"

Should do a video about the untold story of the 777 incident at Innsbruck with the famous flaperon fail XD Still the funniest stream but plz do a FULL IN DEPTH flight on it!

NICEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! I love st maarten!

GreAT video

Hey ! Gotta say after many years that I have been following u, ur content has amazed me quite a bit !! Keep up the good work ! Can't wait for more vids ! could you tell me ur pc specs ? Tks

The beach you were probably talking about is "Zandvoort" or "Scheveningen". Also KLM uses A330 now to SXM :(

"We are NOT using 36L" *looks at departure charts* "Never mind we're going off 36L🗿" loved that lol, I too question the existence of the polderbaan runway

Love that they force you to use 36L :)

I would love to see you fly an Alaska Airlines 737 from Seattle to Anchorage, or somewhere in Alaska.

Taxiing to 36L was easy in this video.. it's even worse when 36C is open. I flew KL1767 (Amsterdam to Frankfurt) a few days ago and the gate was at the southern end of the airport, we actually had to taxi the full length of 36C and then backtrack it halfway before making the right turn to 36L.. The taxi time was 40 minutes (25 minutes of taxiing plus 15 of waiting near the runway because Amsterdam is super busy during summer) while the flight itself was a mere 30 minutes..

HAHA! loved the 36L FML rant

Love to see a flight with the Just flight BAC1-11

aweeeeesome!

Could you do a Heathrow to Bangkok flight please mate.. Flown with Thai airways on the B744, would be good to see.. Keep up the good work

they put that runway far away due to noise pollution for the people living on the departing and approaching routes of the other runways it is also the most used one for international flights (not completely sure about this)

Please do Finnair a330-300 from helsinki to Thailand, Phuket

Is that method for inserting step climbs also usable in the 777 (addind S after the number) ??
