- This is the fifteenth video in what I hope turns into a long standing series on this channel called Aircrafts Dissected, where I plan to delve into every single switch, knob and light in the aircraft and properly explain their function. This video is the eighth in the full flight portion of this series, wherein we complete a full flight with the Zibo 737-800 from KSFO (San Francisco) to KLAX (Los Angeles). In this episode, we take a detailed look at the final descent, approach and landing procedure where we incrementally descend towards KLAX through various altitude checkpoints. The entire episode is live commentated to give an authentic feel as if the viewers are sitting beside me as we fly into runway 25L and perform a precision approach using the various tools at our disposal in the 737-800. The next episode will be the final one in the 'full-flight' portion of this series, where we will go ahead and cover the taxi to our parking gate as well as the after-landing and shutdown procedure to safely disembark the passengers and finish the flight leg.

![Zibo 737 - Autoland X-plane 11 Simulator tutorial [Beginner friendly]](/img/n.gif)
The green arc is also known as the "green banana" and is possibly one of the most important tools used during a V/S descent (non-VNAV). I use the V/S descent more often than VNAV.
The Zibo mod has a "descent" announcement on the PA page the captain makes and can be found in the EFB. In addition, there is also a PA announcement for "prepare for landing".
Rule of thumb: 200kts at 10nm, 190kts at 9nm, 180kts at 8nm, ect with final approach speed around 4nm unless ATC requires you to maintain a set airspeed until reaching a waypoint during high traffic periods.
The time from "Glideslope alive" to "Glideslope capture" is not very long so as soon as you see the solid pink diamond first appear, call "Glideslope alive" and set Flaps 15 and gear down. At glideslope capture, follow flaps according to schedule for landing flaps.
Your final approach and landing was spot on! Great job.
Love the green arc;)
Well done again, and thank you.What an excellent collection this has turned out to be.Making you a LEGEND in my book young Sir, hi praise indeed from a retired Sea Captain (Master Mariner). You have been responsible for one hell of a lot of learning to take place .Well done. Best wishes always Robert. Bottom left hand corner of Australia YABA
Thanks a lot Robert! I truly do appreciate it:)
EVERY Episode has given me important, new insights on this aircraft, and general pointers regarding controlled airspace flying in any bird. I really hate to see it coming to an end. 👀
This is the best tutorial that has been ever made for landing the Zibo B738, as well as a comprehensive step-by-step procedure for start to the end of a flight.
Many thanks for the visual illustrations and all the hard work and sweat you've made to produce it.
Hey there Sami, thank you so much! No worries it all. It's my pleasure...
Mate. Just completed the series. This is the definitive Zibo tutorial. Absolutely fantastic work. Much appreciated.
Cannot actually say how many things I've learnt watching all the videos of the series, again and again: many thanks, very good job ;-)
EXCELLENT. This one may be the best yet...lots of helpful pointers. Thanks for all your dedicated work on this series. Just sorry to see you've gone over to the dark side (MSFS). 👀 😂
Bravo!!!! Nice series of video done very professionally. I will make sure I'll share your channel to everyone needing help. You covered everything from T/O to landing. Can't wait to see the last video. Great Job!!!!!
Thank you so much for your support as well as your kind words Hector. They truly do mean the world to me. I tried to be as thorough as possible in this series of videos and am glad that it has translated into such positive reception from the community. So once again, thank you so much:)
Great tutorials! After going in circles for a bit struggling to capture the localizer and glideslope I eventually captured it and in my excitement, forgot to deploy the landing gear. Confused out of my mind when an alarm went off, I ignored it continued to land. Once I was on the runway, I then noticed what I had done. A great laugh and a great learning opportunity for sure.
Thanks again for another great addition to what is, fast becoming, the definitive guide to this aircraft. Once again, you have managed to include detail not found in other tutorials whilst delivering, yet another highly professional presentation. Absolutely outstanding!
Thank you so so much slicker55. You're one of those people on this channel who have been there from the very beginning and I couldn't be more grateful for your support. Hopefully you found the live commentary style of videos to be good as I'm planning to start a full flight series on this channel where we will fly around the world with different aircraft across different simulators. What do you think of that idea?
@@FlyBySimulations Hiya, This was possibly your most challenging tutorial to date as there is so much happening during those last few critical minutes before touchdown but, you pulled it off beautifully. It was a good idea to step us through the procedure before actually demonstrating it... your live commentary to delivered with style and shows you're not just the type of guy who can talk a good job... I think you will find an audience for whatever you choose to deliver but personally I would appreciate more X-Plane / Zibo 738-800 stuff as I wish to continue studying this aircraft and have no plans to switch simulators.
Wow that's probably the best feedback I've received thus far. Thank you so much for your continued support on the channel. As for doing more content on X-plane/Zibo 738 stuff, I completely hear you. So I won't be stopping content on the 737-800 or X-plane 11, but I do want to explore other avenues on this channel including MSFS 2020 or even other aircraft such as the FF320 on this channel. I'll continue looking for feedback on the channel and if new ideas pop up for the 737-800, then I'll be sure to continue adding to the 737-800 AD playlist. Once again, thank you so much:)
Hey guys, apologies for the initial intro reading "Episode 14". It is supposed to be "Episode 15" and I forgot to change that during the editing sequence. Hopefully you guys enjoyed the rest of the video and do let me know how you found the live commentary portions of the episode, as I plan to do more full flights with different aircraft across different simulators in the future too. Thanks for all the support you guys. Means the world to me! :)
Thank sir for your quick response, i am waiting for this video
@@rofaidarashed2126 No worries at all. Over time, I'll keeping adding to this playlist. Make sure to subscribe to the channel and press the bell icon right next to the subscribe button to be able to get notifications for all future videos on this channel:)
@@FlyBySimulations Hey man, just want to tell you airlines usually do continuous descents to save fuel. So they try to go down without the need to ever level off. That is the real challenge for a descent its all about managing your potential and kinetic energy. Also I saw you at 190 knots without flaps. Whenever you go below the Up speed indicator you must select flaps one the latest at that speed. Then you get the 1 bug so you must select the next flaps setting also before you get below that speed.
A brilliant video i learnt an awful lot in all of this series, thank you.
Yet another great job! Your videos are the only ones I "Like" before watching -- one less thing to do after I've watched it! :-) One thing I would add for those who aren't aware is that if you enable the "Hardware throttle on EICAS" option in the tablet, you can match your throttle lever position to match the current N1 value so that there is no sudden increase or decrease in power when the autothrottle is disengaged.
...and one more PAPI memory jogger: "White on white, you'll fly all night!"
Thank you so so much for your kind words about the content. As for the recommendation about enabling Hardware throttle on EICAS in the EFB, that's truly a great tip. Just tried a practice flight with that setting and it helps so much during final approach. I love how doing this series is as much a learning opportunity for me as it is for others in the community, so thank you. As for the memory jogger- "white on white, you'll fly all night" is truly a classic ;)
EXCELLENT tip for avoiding throttle surges when disengaging autothrottle! Just went into the EFB and made that selection. THANKS!
Great job, thanks a lot !
Another great episode, thanks!
No worries at all Carlos. I'm glad you enjoyed the content:)
Great Video. Extremely usefull. Congratulations from Brasil
Glad you enjoyed it Silvio! If you enjoyed, please consider liking the videos and subscribing to the channel. This actually is only 1 episode out of my 16-part series on the Boeing 737-800 which you can find here: czcams.com/play/PLstDeuw1VKqXXfI2sNq-b9rNcXNOFijx-.html Hope you enjoy all those videos too:)
mate ive recommended you on some zibo groups on Facebook, hope this is ok, feel many would benefit from your work and hopefully reward you for the hours you've put in
Hey Michael. Of course that it perfectly okay - in fact thank you for spreading word about my channel. I actually happen to promote my own 'Aircraft Dissected' videos on around 10 Facebook groups myself ;) Would love to know which other groups did you promote these videos on?
Great job
Susanta Mallik Wow that was a quick review😉. Haha thank you so much Susanta! I know you’ve been looking forward to this video, so I did put in a lot of effort to try to make as detailed of an approach and landing video as possible. Thanks a lot for your support😊
@@FlyBySimulations welcome always
I don't have enough words to thank you for the full description of every tiny detail in this gorgeous and beautiful plane. I have watched the entire series and I must say, the last episode felt like a bittersweet finale of a good TV show, where you'd feel slightly sad you won't see the same setting ever again. Great it's not the case with your channel though!
So far, I'm managing cold&dark start up procedures, taxiing, take off and cruise flight pretty well, only because your video encyclopedia is always there when I need it. And big thanks for having it in a pdf file as well!
However, I'm a bit lost with programming FMC for takeoffs and landings with airports that do not have SID/STAR procedures (or when these procedures don't have transitions). Discrepancies keep showing up. Besides, if there is no STAR procedure, how would one get to a point from which to capture g/s and loc and switch from vnav/lnav to approach mode on mcp?
Best wishes,
Oleg
greattttttt
Another superb video. Well planned and thought through, with correct terminology and visual aids. I used to fly IFR single engine and these videos are better than the material we used for training. Are you a pilot ? If not, I hope you will be one day. Would be completely at ease as your passenger.
Thanks a lot Johan! Truly do appreciate your kind words and glad you found it helpful.

By far the best aviation CZcamsr out there. And that's the bottom line cause Udhav Bansal said so 👍
UDHAV B Well if Mr. Bansal has proclaimed me to be the best, I have to be the best😂❤️❤️
😂😂😂
Excellent! Have you done a video on the correct procedure to execute a missed approach?
👍 Keep going
Will do sir! Thanks for the support and sorry for the late reply... Make sure to check out the MSFS 2020 Full-flight series on the channel here as well: czcams.com/play/PLstDeuw1VKqWuFDzaLGrIhwPHLmSvorbB.html and stay tuned for the Aircraft Dissected series to continue with the Airbus A320 coming out very shortly:)
Awesome
Soham Mallik Thank you so much for your continued support Soham👏👏
@@FlyBySimulations welcome, and I'm always with you Varun
Thanks for doing this! Touch down explanation was great. Should be useful for new sim pilots.
(You can disengage AP using the disconnect on the yoke which you can map to Captain AP disengage.)
Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words. I don't know if you've checked out the other videos in the Aircraft Dissected series but you can find the entire 15 episode playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLstDeuw1VKqXXfI2sNq-b9rNcXNOFijx-.html As for the AP disengage button on the yoke, I'm aware of it, but I've always just had a habit of disengaging the autopilot and autothrottle from the MCP. I guess I should probably change that habit in the face of efficiency. Once again, thank you so much for checking out the content. Please consider liking the videos and subscribing to the channel if you enjoyed:)
@@FlyBySimulations I am going to watch those. May I make another suggestion? You should also teach the habit to read the FMA and PFD indications. It is not enough to dial the MCP. Most beginners have problems to see what the airplane actually does.
@@flyingpauls5267 Really great idea, Though I have touched on the FMA somewhat in previous episodes of the series, I should probably make a video completely focussed on it. However, as of now, I just uploaded the 16th part of the series and have officially concluded the series. However, I do plan to add to the series in the future and will 100% consider this idea. Hopefully you’re enjoying the rest of the content and clear skies to you😊
Great job thank you. Lots of people search the difference the" VOR/LOC" and "APP" button using like me.Could you please any short video about this isue because your videos are greatful
Thank you so much for the support:) I can surely make a short video about the topic, but the distinction between the use of both buttons is actually quite simple. During an ILS landing (which is what I'm assuming you're asking about as that's the standard landing procedure that most beginners perform on airliners), the VOR LOC button can be used to simply intercept the localizer (the lateral portion of the ILS beacon). If for example, you're shooting a straight in approach to a runway from a considerable distance and altitude wherein the glideslope hasn't yet been captured, you can first press the VOR LOC button to establish yourself on the localizer and get aligned with the extended centerline of the runway. Then, as you continue your approach and capture the glideslope, you can then go ahead and press the approach button to ALSO capture the glideslope. In this video though, the aircraft captured the glideslope and localizer more or less at the same time, so I went ahead and pressed approach so that we would be fully established for a CAT 1 ILS landing at Runway 25L and LA. If you want an even more in-depth explanation as to what a localizer or glideslope is, then you can go ahead and check out episode 5 of this series here: czcams.com/video/FLNZeZy4Qn4/video.html where I explain everything using charts and diagrams. Hopefully you found the video series enjoyable and informative! Cheers:)
Thanks sir for this episode (Landing techniques ) Tutorial , it was great deliver to those techniques , I have noticed that the aircraft has been landed in center line , which always an issue for me , because while i am doing the landing , i feel the aircraft at center line but when I come closer to runway suddenly I found my self offset of the center-line , i do not know what the visual references i have to keep it in while landing , so If you have any tips or tricks you can deliver to us to keep the aircraft always in runway center-line at all the approach and landing stages .
Thanks ...
Hey there Rofaida, thank you so much for your kind words and support. I will surely create a video in the future covering landing techniques in the Boeing 737-800, including maintaining the centerline while shooting the approach. I highly recommend you to the check out the other 14 episodes in the Aircraft Dissected series, which cover the takeoff procedure, the descent planning procedure and so on. You can find that playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLstDeuw1VKqXXfI2sNq-b9rNcXNOFijx-.html If you enjoyed the content, PLEASE LIKE, SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE:)
Your Active Sky paired with Xvision look really nice. Do you mind saying the specific preset you use for Xvision?
Hey there Matt, in the landing video, my X-plane auto-updated itself to 11.50 so X-vision no longer works. However, when I was on 11.41, I was using the 'Ves' preset for the skycolours and a combination of the cloud textures from both Ves as well as the cloud art plugin for free on X-plane.org. Hope you enjoyed the video:)
Oh, this video missed the part that kills my flights and of a lot of other people. Hit APP to follow the ILS, but, all of a sudden, the video cuts to a VOR/LOC armed instead. Been dying to accurately get when to use VOR/LOC instead of APP or if both should be used and why exactly.
I usually have both diamonds filled and the aircraft flying a perfect path using lnav and vnav path. Then, as I change to VOR/LOC, Zibo tends to end up off the centerline by the end. I have to fly manually way before minimums to align the aircraft, but at this point, my height tends to be ruined. This VOR/LOC remains a complete mystery.
hello , nice video and nice tutorial video , exelente..... I have a question , sorry! ... on this video you have flap 15 and 180kt .....is not supost on flap 15 be on 166 kns? becouse i am confuce ....I am still learning on fligth simulator .
Hey there Jose, you can take various flap configurations based on allowed speed ranges. Technically, you can extend Flap 15 under 200 knots if I'm not mistaken (been a while since I flew the 737). It doesn't have to be AT a specific speed. Nevertheless, if you enjoyed the video, please consider giving it a like and subscribing to the channel to stay up to date with everything flight simulator. Cheers!
What's the difference between course selector and heading selector knobs?
Think a good idea ..would be to do the same flight but on VatSIM ....
craig c Absolutely! Great idea! I’m planning to start a full flight series on this channel where we do flights all around the world across different sims and VATsim flights will 100% be included within them.
I’m also planning to do an entire VARSIM phraseology tutorial series on this channel. Lmk if that’s a good idea😊😊
@@FlyBySimulations Absolutely
Brilliant.....what planes next? 😊
Michael Torode Thank you so much! I don’t know what plane’s next. You tell me sir. What would you like to see?
Well personally would love the F18 for DCS but this is military and not a civil aviation sim.....plus I’m being selfish 😊.....I would say the Cessna 172, many beginners out there and it’s the default starting plane for so many
Michael Torode Yeah... I also happen to be more of a civil avitation dude. To be completely honest with you, I started out with tubeliners and never did the general progression from GA aircraft to larger planes. So my knowledge about the Cessna 172 is quite limited- however, it does sound like a cool passion project where I could learn more about the aircraft and teach it to others as well. Might take me some time compile all of the research for these videos, but hey- hard work pays off😊😊
I need to learn the A320 Airbus - I realise there are many tutorials out there but you do it the best! Thanks for all the work you have done for us.
Magknight 787
Why do you disengage LNAV and VNAV so early? I understand that it's easier to control descent rate and speed manually, but why would you disengage LNAV and set the course manually when the LNAV autopilot would follow it anways?
It was more of a coaching opportunity for the tutorial. Normally, I would keep LNAV engaged for longer until I'm ready to get aligned with the localizer. However, in this case, I wanted to show the viewers how the rest of the modes on the MCP work and how one can possibly be vectored by ATC to come in for final approach at large airports. Nevertheless, if you enjoyed the content in the video and wish to support a small channel like mine, please be sure to leave a like and subscribe to the channel for more such videos :)
Hi from Russia!)
Hi from Singapore/Canada ;)
Why APP button is not inluminated?
!Sorry i think i know why ...i think is becouse you take gs earlie .... and that way you have 180kns on flap 15 ....
I agree haha a little naive of me back in the day ;)
Than you sir...i know you are the best ..I just a star student.. but I shure I will learn much a bout your sperience...god bless you sir.👍
