Thank you so much Peter 👍🏼

Agree. Watch them both often. These shorter 10-15 min vid are really good. Easier to find specific instruction in an area we may be in search of guidance in. Great format

Nah you get familiar with it. Even after takeoff rotation you see absolutely nothing out of the windscreen except blue, purple or grey😂

Obviously landing it manually like that is stuff you only do from time to time for fun in the (real) sim, but never in the plane. But remember: A CAT I minimum is just 200ft above the runway. Until then you need to be able to fly it manually and on profile. Oh, and an NDB approach minima starts where again, 350ft?

Hand-flown CAT III-B 😂🙌🙌

Indeed it's a mixture of the ~5 years I worked in the support of a major FS developer before and while I became a pilot, as well as a mixture of watching other KZfaq videos and reading comments here and elsewhere. Sure enough that "elsewhere" includes my own discord community as well 👍🏼

Very good!@@A330Driver

My former airline used to be as well. First couple of A330 sim sessions during my new type rating were literally flying with the eyes out and shooting visual and/or raw data approaches. It was easy to get back into it, but took a couple approaches.

Yep, or even better, doing it in the sim with the mask on and a smoke filled Cockpit and failed AP in direct law due to the fire eating through the electricals while the smoke hardly let's you read the instruments. THAT is fun. Who cares engine failures 😄

@@A330Driver yes well that session would indeed be rather trying 😆

Times 10 and then half is also good.

Just keep in mind, it's not "pitch for Airspeed", that's a general aviation principle which makes precise flying impossible. The true "formula" is "Pitch+Power equals Performance". Essentially that's what it is: Unless you're on the backside of the powercurve you can ALWAYS say in a 737-800 with 5 degrees of pitch and 60% N1 the plane will fly. But you need both, pitch AND power 👍🏼

So how do you control airspeed in a glider? Or how does the 737 control airspeed in N1 or when the throttle is at idle? (;

😂😂😂

I wonder if you missed this detail, even though this is manual at 03:35 he talks about keeping the ground track pointer, or maybe its called flight track pointer aligned with the heading bug to make it easy to correct for crosswind.

Crosswinds are when I like the TRK UP ND so much. Just put your track line right on the runway course and that's it. No matter the wind.

I kept it in trim all the time, but now that you mention it... Indeed, no trim sounds audible! Gotta check that.

No, not at all. Pitch and Power means you set pitch and power as per standard tables, like 5 degrees nose up and 60% N1. Your method is what they teach in many places general aviation, but it's unusable for precise flying as you need it IFR to follow a glide down to minimums or generally in airliner flying.

@837NGDriver Thanks for the clarification! I guess I had that from DCS.

IDLE works pretty fine in the 737 with flaps 5 and a 3 degree glide.

Most important in all of aviation!

Use small corrections to get back onto it. The closer you are the closer the corrections, with as little as only a degree or two when very close in.

@@A330Driver should i use rudder or sidestick? If i move sidestick horizontally and try to adjust,plane goes to inclined with runway sometimes rudder helps but not every time.

I'd really recommend to get a cheap joystick at least. Doesn't have to be one of the multi hundrets dollar ones, just a cheap 30$ stick will do.

Hi Christian, if I find the time I will. I'm currently on a week long layover, then only have like two days at home before flying for another three days. Busy schedule, but if I find the time I'll check it out 👍🏼

@@A330Driver thank you so much. I cannot wait

"Catastrophic structural damage" at 600fpm? You've never been aboard a Ryanair plane it seems 😂 Seriously though, as long as it's not a nose wheel landing you won't damage your plane like that. From about 1000fpm (and remember the speed is squared in any such formular) you can start seeing damage. That famous recorded 727 crash in the desert was 1500fpm and nose wheel first).
