For anyone trying this tutorial with the latest AIRAC data: if you don't see FIRTH3P in the departure procedures, you can use LEVRA1P instead and choose the TULMI transition. You'll just be going a bit further afield, but everything else is the same as in the tutorial. Cheers!
You can tell he's put a lot of work in this. Well done!!👍👍👍
This is a well thought out instuctional video. I especially like that it is long enough to be able to go through a proper ascent and descent phases, while being short enough to do repeatedly. I especially enjoy being able to repeatedly practice speed management and flap extension on descent.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Enjoy the 737, it's a ton of fun to fly!
this helped me heaps get started with the PMDG 737... brought it over a year ago and never touched it because i was too intimidated, after watching this video and taking notes i did my first sucessful flight!
One of the best starter tutorials of have viewed!
Great video thanks mate need all the help I can get with this at the moment 🙏
You actually don’t need to start any power to access the PMDG setup option. Just hold down the MENU button. I learned this from another video. Great channel.
Great tip thanks for sharing
Thank you a lot for this tutorial. After I've had a long pause from flying, this really helped me to get back into the whole process. I practiced using the same route and it helped a lot!
An excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Had to stop in and say great tutorial. Took me two tries because on the first try i missed the LVL CHG button part and couldn't figure out why I didn't descend the same way and just kept cruising along and missed the runway. Got it perfect the second time round. Now on to the cold start. Thanks for this.
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! Enjoy the 737 :)
Thank you so much, I recently got the 737 and it seemed like it would be way too complicated to land. I appreciate you keeping it simple while still conveying all the necessary information.
Thanks!
Thank you Norman for the huge show of support, it’s very much appreciated!
Another great video. Which flight stick/throttle do you use? The rudder ailerons, and spoilers are not operating are not working in mine.
Thanks Jake :) I have the Boeing Yoke, Honeycomb Throttle, and TFRP pedals. Make sure you have auto-rudder turned off in the accessibility options!
great videos.
but for the PMDG 737, It would be better if it was a flight where everything was simulated exactly from COLD&DARK to Land including every manual steps.
I also have that on the channel if that’s what you prefer, this is just to get you started quickly

Yes I saw that video. But it will be nice if includes prepare, taxi, takeoff , inflight and landing with full fmc and navigational operations end to end. Thank you.
That’s pretty much what I cover in those three videos.
thank,i used this pmdg with an old flight sim X,first flight kjfk kbos 8)
Thanks again Mark! You have helped me so much with understanding and flying PMDG's 737s, that I decided to buy the -7, -8 and -9 coz their such great planes. Any chance you'll be doing the B787?
I am thinking about it, I haven't 100% committed to it yet though.
So this is my fav plane to fly and I'm quite new to MSFS. However today, when I try to taxi out or pull back . The plane goes into the airport and no braking or backward thrust is working. When I tried to take off from the runway, the nosewheel wouldn't turn and the backward thrust isnt activating. Everything was fine yesterday. The only thing I did was install the PDMG Operation center, added cache memory. Not sure whats going on today. edit : Dang just when I like how real this feels, I realized it was the lack of pressure. needed to do maintenance lol.
I was just about to write you that exact suggestion :) Glad you figured it out, happy flying!
Also i know PMDG didn't want to link the plane with Microsoft's world map flight route but that sucks cos punching in all the way points in the FMC is long....
If you're on PC, you can use simbrief to avoid having to punch in all the waypoints yourself. I did the tutorial this way because unfortunately on Xbox there is no other option.
Great video. Short flight was just what I was looking for. Thanks!
So you can start the engine automatically via the FMC? That's helpful cos the steps are long more over the assisted checklist doesn't appear to work......
Yep, the Panel States can be used to shortcut startup.
Thanks for the great video, it must have been a lot of work. I've tried following it twice now and have successfully taken off, but somehow the AP LNAV never works as I have mucked up the flight plan in the FMC undoubtedly. I'll wait a day and try it again. At present, most of the confusion is in putting the flight plan into the FMC as I can't seem to reproduce the waypoints/procedures you show. Do you think it has anything to do with my having Navigraph and having the plane data at the latest AIRAC?
Indeed, it seems like they updated the departures, and the one I’m using has been updated to FIRTH3P in the latest AIRAC.
If you don't see FIRTH3P, you can replace it with the LEVRA1P instead, it’s almost the same but you’ll go just a bit further afield (and select the TULMI transition). You can start descending when you're about 10NM out of TULMI instead. And the ILS for the runway should still be there.
I had similar problems with LNAV. The main problem in my case was that I hadn’t hit Activate (Execute) often enough; you need to to do it once for the route, and another for all the performance stuff (PERF INIT/CLB/CRZ). Sometimes it still won’t engage on the ground though, I’ve also had it only want to engage once I was in the air too.
Let me know how that goes Roger, if it works for you I’ll pin a comment for anyone else on the latest AIRAC.
@@FlightSimSchool That worked LEVR1P with TUMI. I made it all through the flight, but it never picked up the ILS glide path for some reason. I also experienced the finicky FMC as VNAV wouldn't arm on the ground and I had to go back and go through everything again. I think it was my 6th try when I got this far. Good thing it's a rainy Saturday here. 🤣
That's great to hear! For the glide path, make sure you're level at 3000 ft before it intercepts the localizer, the course + frequency are set on both sides, and you should at least see it arm in white on the PFD until it's intercepted. It took me a good four or five attempts to land it successfully the first time too, but once you get it once, it sorta just clicks.
@@FlightSimSchool I have the same issue thanks for this!
So do I need simbrief or anything else to
Start wanna try my first 737 flight just feel I’m in over my head great 👍🏻 vid
Just simbrief really, which is free. For the rest you can muddle through and find charts online.
@@FlightSimSchool Thank you man helps a lot
Hi, can you please tell me how to undo cold and dark state and restore default settings. Lots of info on how to save cold and dark state but nothing on how to undo it.
Do you mean how to load another state?
Would love to use this beginner guide for the PMDG 737 on Xbox.
Well it should be coming out soon, hopefully! I avoided using simbrief integration in case it’s not supported on Xbox
how did you get onto the runway with the plane off? Maybe explain that? Why do YT vids always skip stuff on tutorial videos.
When you start from the runway, the default panel state for me was cold & dark, which is why I didn’t mention it. But regardless, you don’t need everything off to follow the tutorial since the first thing we’re gonna do is pick the runway state. Hope that helps.
Just picked up the 737-800 two days ago, tried this excellent first flight twice, but even when following to the letter i have two this that are different on mine: 1 fuel is in KG, no worries, just set simbrief back to kg and it gives me the right numbers to punch in. 2nd, while Lnav comes on fine, Vnav does not, mfd gives no error messages. Did something change since this video came out a year ago?
Check the clb and crz pages, when that’s happened to me it’s because I didn’t activate something.
@@FlightSimSchool i noticed one of the numbers in the climb page wasnt magenta-ized, that must have bee the trouble, set cruise altitube correctly and now it does activate! Thanx!
🛫
I would like someone to please make a video that is using the autopilot shortcut button to see if the autopilot works this way works for the atr but not the crj and wanted to see if this plane works
If you mean the autopilot toggle button, yes it works for me when bound to my controller. Make sure you don’t have a conflicting binding on another device for the same binding, that’s often the source of issues
@@FlightSimSchool thanks
@@FlightSimSchool works with pmdg but not the crj
Yeah the crj is a bit buggy…
@@FlightSimSchool thanks 🙏 for replying to me
well this is actual garbage. "just use quickstart options"... why would anyone want this? if you want quickstart options, just fly the default a320 and be happy.
Different people learn different ways. Some people want to get in the air first and get a feel for the plane. I also have a deep dive series that takes you through every step from cold & dark once you’re ready to take it to the next level. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks!
Thank you for the support, it’s very much appreciated!
