- www.balticaa.com If you have watched the video with Pranas Drulis explaining how to prepare the Airbus A320 before taking off, be ready to get acquainted with Boeing 737 "Cold and Dark" peculiarities together with the same Pranas and Povilas Maknavicius, ATPL student of the last year. Be introduced to the aircraft -- make decision which type rating suits you most.

It's 2023 now, Really miss both of them.
Anyway, just the same as back in the day, my favorite part of this c&d and Taxiing demo is,
when Pranas as a FO orders his captain Povilas to
"Ask for Pushback, Please"
LOL wkwkw, really miss you guys
Wish you guys all the best, Pranas, Povilas and all peoples in the Baltic Aviation Academy and also
for you guys who always visit this channel 😉🤙
Stay healthy for all of us & Safety First! ✌😉
The guys are cute as hell... I hope the both found meaningful employment flying somewhere. They look so young but very professional. Definitely a good face for their school.
When such young student pilots have this accuracy and awerness one can only congratulate their flight school.👍
Did anybody else use this video just to get the PMDG started? xD
Lol me
Yess hahahahaha
+Forza Ninetails These videos are pretty much how I learned the Aerosoft Airbus. I did not even read the tutorial...
+Forza Ninetails This is 737 CL XD i used it to start with Wilco 737 :D
Lol yes. Xd
I always found funny how flying a plane itself isn't that complicated, but starting it is pretty complex.
Harold isn't that complicated at ALL, trust me every procedure you do on long or short carriers are operated via checklists, so you just have to read and for sure it helps to know where to look!
Mr. Somebody I guess it all depends.
technically all you need to start is to just flip the switch to grd, the cutoff switches to idle once n2 is reached. It is a 2 step procedure. The rest of the checks are made to ensure that the plane stays up after taking off. (pressure/aircon etc.)
Amateur Draw it’s a bit more complicated than that. There are many required thing such as starting the APU, having fuel pumps on, hydraulic pumps, packs, bleeds etc...
@@amateurdraw9524 That will do nothing unless the APU is started, its bleed is on, its generator is on bus, and the fuel pumps are on.
Thank you Baltic Aviation Academy for a very interesting series of videos! And thanks Pranas, excellent work.
Excellent videos Pranas, I studied this before I went into a 737-800 simulator and found them extremely helpful, some of the panels were slightly different but the preflight check list flow was the same. A comprehensive and concise explanation of cockpit procedures.
Thank you!
as somebody who is slowly learning more and more about the PMDG 737, this video is a HUGE help...great video!!
A most enjoyable series of videos fellows- well done!
Pranas I swear you have the best job. I could sit with you in the simulators all day long, but for me it’ll be back to MS Flight Sim- ugh!! As a 911 dispatcher and the stresses of that, this would be the ultimate de-stressor, and to think not only the 737 but the Airbus also..... how amazing it must be to have these million dollar machines at your disposal.
Wao this info really helps for the PMDG 737 on FSX!
I love your videos, as a flight simmer I find them most helpful. Especially the 787 videos.
control + e ?
What does that do
+Mr. Pivotgamer I (Niti Shehu) starts the engines in FSX
+TheRabbitFear well there is more to that than ctrl + E since the default planes in fsx are GARBAGE. (Go to the pmdg planes for REAL PLANES).
Mr. Pivotgamer I i know that and ctrl + e breaks the PMDG planes
its how to start the engine in fsx bullshit
A few more thoughts if I may. I noticed when they were to the point of putting on ground power, while they looked for the "Power Avail" light, they did not select ground power via the AC switch, and verify that they had good volts and freqs. Bad habit. I also noticed that when they did the fire warning checks, all 3 fire handles had bulbs that were inop. There should be 4 bulbs lit in each handle. I case you were wondering, I spent the last 15+ years as an Avionics Technician at an MRO, working on 737's.
I love your videos, as a flight simmer I find them most helpful. Especially the 737 videos.
Wow .....this is the first ever I have seen in its entirety.....thanks ...that's really great. Wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do..thanks
Pranus, I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor! Makes me want to get my ATP!
Awesome stuff Pranas!
As for question 2 -
Flap setting for the next flight depends on the weight and speed of the 737. In the video they talk about the weight (52 tons) and 'V-Speeds'. Those help deterime the flap setting. Since the next flight is different, the flaps are retracted so the next flight can set them properly. As to why they do it so fast, that's just what pilots do. They can do it while they taxi to the gate, or as the exit the runway. But a good idea to retract after landing.
Pranas un saludo, he visto tus videos durante años, me alegra que no los borres. Eres un master
OK, Pranas is the best! Nice Video and Baltic everywhere! Please more....
yaw damper is a device used on many aircraft (usually jets and turboprops) to damp (reduce) the rolling and yawing oscillations due to Dutch roll mode. It involves yaw rate sensors and a processor that provides a signal to an actuator connected to the rudder. The use of the yaw damper helps to provide a better ride for passengers, and on some aircraft is a required piece of equipment to ensure that the aircraft stability remains within certification values. - Found at Wikipedia
very professional-good job guys!
LOVE that 'Mobile Phones' is part of the checklist.
This was amazingly hypnotizing to watch.
the only thing left was a comedic full speed crash into a building after all of that.
thanks for all the info, guys! great vid!
REAL BIG TH-X for this wonderfull Video
I used it to train me for the PMDG NGX 800 on the FSX Simulator
Great video as usual!
Packs on Auto so we can get some air going in cabin. Hyd pumps off when towing so tow bar can't get jammed. Hyd pumps on after tow
completed. This was a good quick video. Check list is always safe to use. You have to COUNT the gear pins to make sure that all have been removed.
Flaps and landing gear are operated by the PNF (pilot not flying), so can be managed by both the cpt and the f/o: it depends on which of them is flying the plane.
Maybe I can help answer:
1- Theres a switch on one of the gears called a squat switch that when the gear is compressed disconnects the circuit and make the gear handle not do anything but turn the warning horn on. If that squat switch failed though you could have a problem, good idea to just always make sure the gear handle is in the down position before turning on the master. Some smaller a/c will retract, but major or larger a/c like a 737 won't.
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.
It is adding fuel to the engine. If you do it to soon or below the minimum %n2 you risk hot starting the engine due to a lack of cooling air flow through the engine itself. If you put it back to cut off it simply just shuts fuel off to the engine and shuts it down.
Another awesome video guys!
you probably should watch until about 4:30, when Pranas sets the APU generators on busses, therefor ground power is not longer provided to the systems... the ground personal is informed automatically and disconnects the cart... so he did everything right
Well done my friends....things seems to be performed very well and cadets seems to be very highly trained.
Think I'm gonna keep Baltic Aviation Academy as a choice for my Type Rating...but still I have to decide on which aircraft do it....by this time the market is so so unpredictable!
interesting. watching all these videos with pranas solo i was wondering about CRM. happy to see that CRM at this academy seems to be well taught and pranas has no problem being co-pilot as well as pilot.
4:04 when you start the APU better check the N and the EGT indications from the panel when the APU is powering up and before turning on the APU Gen.
Great VIdeo! Thank
Nice video. Thank you. I'm glad that I found your videos.
The IGN L and IGN R labels don't refer to the left and right engine but to the redundant igniters in both engines. There are two igniters in each engine, a left and a right one, that are on independet electric buses. If one fails the other one can still be used to ignite the engine.
Hi there...followed along with you, very methodical and quite thorough, still...per my training and experience on the B737, you missed some things we were required to check...O2 masks and mics, Flt Deck O2 tank valve (behind FO seat, aft). On the CTR Pedestal, yes thrust levers at idle, but also check the TO Warning, and full motion of the throttles. Also, the ELEV Trim Cut-Out switches, and pickle switches on the control wheel. ( Just to name a few! :-) )
Oh, and CVR, and GPWS...
That's a whole lot of information to put into mind. Any tips on how to memorize the steps?
Good, I learn a lots! Thanks.
Nice setting the autothrotles on the gates! ......
Left knob controls engine 1, right knob controls engine 2. The switch in the middle selects which ignition systems are used.
I think it's implied that it's disconnected at pushback. It's not needed once they transition to APU power at 4:33.
Fantastic video, thank you!
Great video, guys.
Bravo though, that was flawless. Took me a good couple of nights to get all that done. Still takes about half an hour by myself.
@yosjykurihara No, if the main fuel pumps are off and the APU is running, the APU receives fuel from Tank 1 by suction or an APU fuel pump but it is common practice to have one AC fuel pump on to increase the lifespan of the APU fuel control unit.
excellent video please make more!!
PMDG 737 is so good, I knew exactly what they were doing down to the swiftly hidden route discontinuity, not that it matters on a circuit really. It almost looks easier than the Sim at home as they have it all there to touch instead of having to do it with a mouse and a shitty joystick.
I'm looking forward too
Could we get one of these showing how to do cold and dark start up of the ATR 72?
Great stuff !
Very good and clear instructions.
Very nice video !
Look at their website, they only have A320 and 737 CL simulators. All the other ones listed are located elsewhere.
I always wondered why it took so freaking long to take off after I got on a plane..
Awesome Video.
Good vid.. I too have experienced the VOR capture issue. I don't remember, but I assume St Maartens VOR is HIGH and not LOW?
its very detailed... amazing.. i learned a lot.. thanks..
Thank you guys.
The starter switch is not the engine number its the acutal starter itself built into the engines. If its set to R it doesnt mean right side engine but right side starter (In a way hard to explain). The actual engine start selector is the knob he turns to GND (ground).
VERY NICE AND CLEAR.
Very instructive and very good! The overhead panels are often unknown by 737 virtual pilot. However, I prefer your video with Nathalia ;-)
REALLY useful thanks!!
Great Job guys thanks you very much.
Labai gerai video, best wishes to lithuania. Viso gero ! :)
I noticed that the Ignition switch was on IGN R as you were starting the Left engine. How did the left engine start with the switch on IGN R (Ignition Right Engine)?
@louchobbema I think you'll find much of this only applies specifically to commercial airline pilots. Light aircraft operators, such as instructors, mail planes and fire fighting aircraft do much, much more.
The Best. Thanks so much guys.
you guys are hilarious! thanx for the uploading :-D
Hi can you do a video on how to use the FMC for B737?
I´m from Argentina, Buenos Aires, the question is, could you please do the electrical power up video for the NG ?? in any of those versions--- 737-700/800/900
...grate video fellows !!! keep improoving !
These burn liquid fuel, so no grate is needed.
"That is actually very nerdy"... ha ha ha ha!! Love it!!
It’s so beautiful video
NICE VIDEO
great baltic aviation wish i could have a scholarship to study with such a wonderful institution
Good job, guys! It is a Full Flight Simulator, yeah?
So I need to know? I am a (now) retired pilot. Thousands of hours on the B-737,, also Type Rated on the B757/767 and the DC-9. I flew right seat on the B-727, the A-300 and the DC-10. I think I have some experience.
Can you guys please do a cold startup and ready to taxi for a 737-200 NG please??
I could be wrong, but the engine start selector seemed to be on the right engine position when they started the left engine.
it would be good to make a video of cleared runway,star and climbing, using autopilot
nice job
cool vid guys
Very nice guys thank you.
You already know my boy pranas be watchin’ his jet...
I would assume that between large planes from the same manufacturer the startup and equipment is pretty similar? I would think that most jet powered planes have a similar startup anyway maybe just switches and such in different places, im curious about how the fuel is loaded , where and how to calculate weight...
I thought it was better to feed the APU with the Left FWD pump because this pump is easier to access so cheaper to fix when to pump is tired/damaged ?
thank you very helpful.
very nice job.,
Fantastic Video ...Subscribed :)
Good job, interesting
Hi I like ur videos do some full flights in pmdg
so when were the constructions for the new world trade centre going to be complete?
no, i know that... watch the startup procedure... the ignition switch was on the right engine when they started the left engine
My two questions :
1) when you forgot to enter into FMC you flight number and when you contact ATC they are very getting crazy , why is that ?
2) Some companies use RTO select on only before taxing check list , why is that ?
Hey, might be a stupid question but how do I scroll through the legs in the ND with plan mode? Can't for the life of me figure it out, thanks.
Thanks guys, great videos! - a couple of questions if I may:
1. Is it actually possible to raise the landing gear while on the ground?
(Isn't there lots of safety features or seer load on the motor would prevent it?)
2. Why to pilots raise the flaps very quickly after landing?
(ie. why actually do it, rather not set them to take of ready for next take-off? )
bro I hope you got your answers in these eight years lol
