- Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. Here is my next video in the 737 tutorial series.
In this tutorial we are going to looking at extended version of the approach briefing. A shorter, more compact, version covering only the essentials is available here: • PMDG 737-700 for MSFS ...
I apologize for pausing the sim for most of the part, there was really more to explain than time available on this short flight.
The video has been taken using a pre-release beta version of the product, so you can expect to see some issues that will be fixed before release. There's no need to point those out as the team will be aware and working on them already. For example the trim sound is not yet implemented.
If you like my videos please consider a small donation as it's taking a lot of time and effort to create these.

These tutorials are not designed as absolute beginner tutorials. It is expected that the viewer already has basic experience with airliners and knows the basics how to operate an aircraft.
Instead these tutorials will focus on the 737NG as an aircraft and the particularities of how to operate it.
I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional CZcamsr or Streamer quite yet and these videos are my very first that actually get more than a hundret clicks. I have never before created such content so bear with me for doing beginner mistakes.
I record straight from the sim without any fancy stuff going on in the background.

You are the best Captain! 🛫👨🏻✈️👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🤩
Nice to see another video. Anticipating the full release!
Many thak's again for all theses important information to be able to reach a "real" simulation ;
I searched where we could set the altitude transition in the FMS. Now I know :)
Thanks again !
Thanks man I appreciate these vids keep up the good work 👍
I have learned about flaps choices. 🙏
I’ve watched all your tutorials and they are so good, thanks a lot! One question: is there a specific moment when you should do the approach briefing (like x minutes before the T/D)?
You should start latest 80NM before the T/D, however earlier can't hurt. Sometimes I do it as early as 150NM before it and sometimes even earlier.
You need to consider two factors:
1) Give yourself enough time so that you're finished with everything once you reach the T/D
2) Don't do it so early that you forget everything by the time it becomes relevant (aka by the time you start the final approach)
If you need to review your destination airfield in closer detail because you only rarely fly there, or if you're going there for the very first time, start doing so even earlier. If you have an hour in cruise there's absolutely nothing that would prevent you from using it for the approach preparation.
I do this in Sim early in cruise because you have time, and on a 3 hour hops i recheck 100NM prior to TD if weather changed on destination an plan alternate approach, besides in sim ATC can do random changes and you always have to be ahead of what ma happens.
awesome video as always.
Excellent video! Thank you.
You are welcome!
Really enjoying your videos. One question, but not related to your video specifically, but do you know if the devs plan on adding other options like being able to show/hide the fuel flow indicators on the upper engine display? I’ve seen quite a few airframes with that option.
Yes, more options will be added later. The Fuel Flow option is one of them, others will be the Multi mode Reciever, glareshield without annoying knobs, the new clock, etc.
Fantastic! Super exciting to hear.
Thanks a lot sir!
How would you say the pmdg is compared to zibo or levelup? Functionality wise?
A thousand times better.
Quick question. Will I be able to use the MSFS flight planner if I want to?
No, the planner is so carry, it mostly comes up with invalid routes. The FMC only accepts routes that are valid to the AIRAC you're using. I highly recommend simbrief to generate flightplans.
@@A330Driver Thank you for replying!
These are so valuable, Thankyou.
Can I ask what the letter A represents after FL 030 ?
If I'm not wrong it's the minimmum altitud you need to be at that waypoint
It means 3000 or Above, and the B after the altitude means 3000 or Below
@@danieldiez2990 thank you
@@pdeswardt makes complete sense, thankyou !!
Exactly as Daniel and Pieter pointed out. Thanks you two!
weather radar its ok or not working?
Still not available for 3rd party developers from the SDK, so no WXR for now.
Nice video! When do you usually start the Approach Briefing? 20 to 30 naut miles before TOD?
Thanks! Latest 80NM out from the T/D.
@@A330Driver, Thank You for the information.
Hi.. Thanks for tutorials.. İ want to ask about forecast page... Why dont you set yojr wind and isa sev?
I'm explaining it literally the moment I'm showing it. If the answer in the video does not answer your question please phrase it a bit more precise.
ISA DEV is not needed, it doesn't make much of a difference so we don't use it.
How do guys have a hand in the cockpit
I really like your videos and style of presentation (it feels very German in a good way! :D) - looking forward a lot to the module in MSFS as well
One thing I've always wondered: why is everything so "ghetto" and antiquated looking (and working) as compared to an Airbus? Everything seems to make much more sense to me in an Airbus, and looks much more user-oriented and user-friendly as well
Still looking forward to it a lot and looking forward to dive into the differences!
Keep in mind it's still based on an airplane designed in the 60's. The overhead is still pretty similar to the original 737-100.
Originally Boeing wanted to use the 777 cockpit design in the 737NG, but airlines wanted to keep the differences training as little as possible. AND: It just works.
@@A330Driver fair enough, it sure does! And ease of crew training probably is very important, which is why ever Airbus is basically the same internally as well, from what I understand.
Thanks for replying! :)
Every app I do with the 737 I’m coming in way fast 220kts. How do I switch to control my speed instead of vnav.
Use LVL CHG. I recommend checking out my MCP tutorial where I explain all the different modes.
Hi, I am still confused why you changed the Landing Weight to 53.8?
Can you explain @737NG Driver?
Because I want to know the flap reference speeds for the weight of the plane on landing, not the current weight.
@@A330Driver First of I'd like to sincerely thank you for responding so quickly! Your tutorials are AWESOME!
I understood that part, but what I didn't catch is why -600, or rather - where did you get that number (if you still remember)?
Thanks again :)
@@galmubi5406 600 is the difference between how much there is in the tanks and how much there will be after landing. So u minus 600 to get the flap setting and speed when you land if that makes sense. If you do not minus the 600, then the FMC gives speed for the current weight, which is not really helpful as by the time we have got to landing, out weight will be different and therefore different speed.
How do I know if I’m on vertical path or speed path
Check the FMA, it tells you.
