- Join me in Gatwick on this long sector to Athens as we prepare for takeoff and discuss the option of selecting VNAV prior to departure.
You might have noticed on all my tutorials to date that I have not engaged VNAV prior to departure which is something a lot of operators do (mine doesn’t yet!). In this tutorial I will show you how you can prepopulate the FMC, so you can engage VNAV on stand and use it to manage your vertical profile and decrease your workload from the moment you engage the Autopilot on departure.

I love these videos! It’s really cool watching some inflight videos of 737-800 pilots in action and understanding what’s going on
Just what I wanted to have years ago when I was simming! Thanks a lot Apollo Actual!

Very happy to hear we have upcoming Zibo mod videos to look forward to 🙂
I actually went to XP myself where one of the main reasons was watching your first Zibo mod video and I honestly can't see myself going back to P3D again. At least not for the time being.
The sensation in XP actually flying an aircraft is amazing in combination with the sound, the light not to mention all great scenery available for free and last but not least how you can build your own photo scenery.
Did a flight from Mallorca to Palermo in the Zibo mod tonight enjoying my newly built photo scenery and the approach with the high mountains on your left on final into rwy 25 was breathtaking!
Have a great week flightdeck2sim!
Hi Richard!
Yes it would seem XP 11 is certainly a lot more immersive and that’s straight out the box!
ZIBO MOD is improving weekly, I wish had more time to test it out but you’ll get more tutorials in the future!
FD2S
Absolutely fantastic video, I was looking forward to see this one so much. Keep up the great work. Cheers Adam
You're a Rock Star, In your own way...
The 1.1Mil vews of your channels proofs it.
I loop your pmdg videos knowing I'll never get the chance to fly one of those.
I coudn't turn on the APU at the beginning, and look at me know, I have the impression to know more procedures than fsx, or should I say, any related atc-add ons I tried, at least.
however, thanks to PMDG and YOU, I'm considering paying simmer fares at real training sim facilities ( some allow us-simmers- in amsterdam e.g. for 250e/3h) Just for the good fun, because you gave me 250 reasons to go for it.
Thanks to you, I'll be soon back on 3-axes ultralight.
Anyone with a flying obsession should never give up!
Overall, just wanted to thank you! Thanks to you and your efforts, a lot of people in this world go to bed thinking about flying...
... but like shit loads... :)
Keep Rocking!
I take advantage of this video, but why not another, to simply thank you for the quality of all these tips, procedures and other aspects that are good to know..., and in the right order !
It's really a pleasure every time ! Thanks :)
Thank you! Great to see people enjoying and learning from some of my older videos!
FD2S
Yet another amazing video from you flightdeck2sim. Thanks for your time and effort.
Thanks a lot Sunny and thank you for being with me from the start!

Nice video and another real-life procedure for me to try in the Sim 👌🏻 #TeamZibo
Very interesting video thank you!
thanks captain, great tutorial!
You’re most welcome Serhenk
FD2S
Good day to you Captain, Thanks again for this very interesting tutorial! I'am as always plezant suppriced that you don't forgetting to set the so many things as tra, lights pax and so smoothly. Here we see a real professional at work. It's great to fantasy to join you into the flightdeck and watch you to see how you do you work. But it's easier for me to meet God I think 😉 A suggestion for a other tutorial is how to restart a engine after let we say shutdown the fuel by mistake during cruise flight. Nevertheless I'am thankful for every video you present. Have a nice day!
Thanks a lot GL, that’s a very kind comment!
I do take care in my tutorials to ensure the flightdeck is exactly configured as it would be for a real even though I’m doing the work of two people!
We’ll look at engine restarts at some point for sure! I have a lot of tutorials and requests planned for in the future!
Take Care,
FD2S
Hello and thank you very much for your fantastic tutorials, could you please list your PC configuration and also the add on MSX used? Cheers.
thanks for video, I`m wondering what is a different to fill information of v1 vr v2, flap and something else?
I would like to say thank you for all these educational videos. I learnt so much from them. I have a couple of requests if you could kindly make some videos about them.
1. What is the proper protocol for weather avoidance(red,green,yellow) on radar and how to predict turbulence?
2. Explanation of what is ETOPS and when is it used?
3. All the different fuel policies and when each fuel policies have to be employed?
4. Are there any circumstances where no alternates or two alternates are required during flight planning?
Thanks and I look forward to learning more from you.
Hi Aaron, working my way through several requested videos. Some of these answers you can easily find online! In a nutshell...
1. Avoiding turbulence associated with convective activity is quite simple, keep away from the big fluffy stuff! For large storms/CB's stay upwind and don't enter red radar returns and magenta is associated with turbulence. The OFP gives values of shear/turbulence based on several external conditions but it can be hard to avoid.
2. Haven't looked at ETOPS since I studied my ATPL Theory so I dare say you know more about ETOPS than I do! It's something I could possibly cover in the future once I refresh some knowledge! It allows twin engine aircraft to fly further away from a suitable alternate in case an engine fails in flight and requires additional equipment and authorisation.
3. I won't be making a tutorial on fuel policies but I do have a tutorial covering how the BLOCK Fuel figure is divided and all the fuel required
czcams.com/video/qdnL7UmzGOk/video.html
4. Different airlines have different rules and procedures but typically for no alternates you would need the destination weather to have weather conditions within one hour either side of the ETA to be above the required minima for the particular approach available, OFP's usually generates at least four alternates and more can be requested by Ops if needed otherwise you need two alternates.
FD2S
FD2S,
How frequently and in what situations do carriers like yours permit a 0 derate departure, or full TO/GA thrust on takeoff? You mentioned that the aircraft was heavy but you still used TO-1/CLB-1, and that got me thinking about this.
Also have you heard about the new 737 ultimate coming out for X-Plane for free? It uses the ZIBO FMC. Can’t wait to see you do a vid on that.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Spoon LGNX.
No need to be permitted to use full thrust for take off, if we need it we use it. Weight of the aircraft isn't always the main factor when it comes to how much thrust. It could be the length of the runway, terrain on departure. Also weather has a major factor. If we have a very strong crosswind we would typically use more thrust to reduce the risk of tailstrike.
I'm keeping a close eye on the development of the ZIBO MOD, I'll be using it a lot more in the future.
FD2S
This is what I usually do because the checklist I use says "ARM LNAV and VNAV" during MCP setup
That's exactly how I do it on the ngx.
Hi, in the real plane the a/t will go into thrust hold mode from 84kts to 800ft agl. At 800ft agl it will go to ARM until the thrust reduction altitude entered in the T/O 2 page - normally 1500ft is selected to allow for a quicker acceleration to flap retraction speed - upon reaching the thrust reduction, on the FMA the annunciated mode will from ARM to N1 and the climb thrust limit selected on the N1 limit page will be selected as indicated on the thrust mode as CLB. I did not notice the mode indicator switching from THR HOLD to ARM from 800ft agl to the thrust reduction height so i was wondering if it was a system bug. Thanks
Impressive! how about make some video linked to Type Rating Training/Assesment , like basic manuever (Steep Turn, stall etc)? thanks
Hi DrayAviation,
Something I can look at but generally avoiding maneuvers from the QRH which could be replicated in real life by someone incorrectly watching my tutorials. Consult approved material for those ones!
FD2S
Hi, thank you for your tutorial videos! I have seen that you often using holding pattern in the videos. I am learnin how to enter the Hold and faced with pmdg freezes using Hold page of FMC. Have faced with the bugs on PMDG as me with holding pattern?
I do remember getting the odd bug here and there with executing certain things in the 737 FMC, if you’re having persistent issues try a fresh install of the product.
FD2S
I have a question, did you ever try multiple rto's with this plane ? I tested it with all my controllers disabled and found out that if you use reversers at all, then any subsequent rto will result in autobrake disconnect, its the same with their 777. 747 though works :) Its as if the plane thinks that im advancing the throttle or something, maybe some throttle range issues ensue after that. There were posts about this long ago but as of now nothing got updated.
You could always map a tiller with fsuipc you know :) ? I do in pmdg planes, i just take a joystick with a z axis enabled and use that, it cuts out at 30 knots if i remember. I even use separate reversers with it.
What is your honest opinion on the NGX ? What things are incorrect in your eyes ? It would be great to learn it from a Pro :)
Don't know where my copilot is. He is asleep. :-)
Well done video and thanks for your time to do so even you have less time. The only suggestion It would be nice if you can popup the displays for some seconds because I can barely see whats going on (Font to small). Cheers
Hi Dr. No, thanks a lot and feedback noted! 👍🏼
FD2S
Thanks for the info - I'm used to flying SIDs or STARs manually as I'm flying older aircraft (CS 707s, 727s, L1011s etc) - keeps you busy..think it's time for me to find time for PMDGs...you mention buying some rudder pedals...which are great but do you use the Logitech Flight Switch panel? I recent bought one but having all sorts of technical / driver issues.
Yeah that’s the old school way of doing things flying those aircraft!
I just bought some saitek pedals. There are no doubt better ones but they do the job, haven’t really had much time to play around with them yet!
FD2S
the rudders are great and the yoke and throttles but I'd avoid the switch panel until they've fixed their driver issues....all sorts of forums reporting these issues,
Man ! Your videos are so good. Do you know a channel here on YT where a real world pilot explains the A320 ?
Hi Luca,
I believe blackbox711 flies or used to fly the Airbus A320 family. His videos are great 👍🏼
FD2S
First off, best flight sim videos and tutorials out there!! Second, I am experiencing a problem with autopilot/fmc No matter what the condition or what my fmc speed says, when I have lnav and vnav set, the aircraft speed will not exceed 245-260 knots. I know 737 can fly around 320 KIAS without overspending. This happens whether I have a headwind or tailwind. Any help is appreciated! Love your videos!!
Hi TheTrusouljar, what is your CI (Cost Index?)
An airspeed of approximately 250 kts would be normal in the cruise and descent with a CI Less than 10. Remember as your altitude increases your mach number/true airspeed/ground speed increases for a constant indicated airspeed. 250 kts IAS at 5000ft is a lot slower than 250 kts at 35,000ft due to air density which decreases with altitude.
I hope this makes sense!
FD2S
flightdeck2sim thank you so much! I didn't even think about cost index. I was becoming lazy and entering in 1 for every flight.
Well I can tell you a CI of 1 the aircraft in VNAV will be flying to save as much fuel as possible! (VERY SLOWLY)!
Try bumping it up if you want to fly a little faster in descent!
FD2S
Great video, thanksFreek (PH-FGM)
Thanks Freek!
FD2S
Another interesting tutorial :) You say you don't use vnav at your airline, what advantages/disadvantages does this provide? Do you feel you are more 'in the loop' with managing the aircraft?
Hi alaister.
It's a useful feature and we will be using it in the future here. The advantages are pretty good and as you mentioned as it primarily lowers workload!
FD2S
Could you do another full flight tutorial please BTW enjoying the vids keep it up
Hi NickSteevs.
Will plan one at some point with the ZIBO MOD!
FD2S
Thanks again, very interesting as usual. Can I ask please, when you mention 'company procedures, etc' who decides what these will be? Is it the chief pilot for example?
thanks
regards
Gareth
Hi ghl.
Operating procedures are typically tailored to the operating model . It usually comes from feedback from the line, the training department and advice from Boeing.
The chief pilot signs on the dotted line enforcing any changes which are updated in the manual annually.
FD2S
Ok, thanks again and keep up the good work when you have time. I really enjoy the vids.
regards
Gareth
Great as always. How is your company’s process different to this?
Thanks! Basically watch every other single take off I do in my other tutorials!
Engage the A/P at 1000ft AAL and then we manually bug the up speed based on the NADP procedure in use.
FD2S
Captain how did you engage the VNAV and LNAV? what did you do at 9:35 I see both of them activated
Great Video are you using Saitek yoke and pedals for your sim
Saitek Rudder pedals and a Logitech 3D Extreme Pro Joystick, it does the job!
FD2S
My Hero
Hi flightdeck2sim. Nice tutorial. You didnt used X plane and Zibo this time ?
Hi Catalin! Don’t despair! I’m planning on using the ZIBO MOD more in the future! Both are excellent products but the PMDG FMC is a more finished product so it’s easier to show how to use, I love ZIBO and his teams unsurpassed dedication to the MOD which is continually improving!
FD2S
Hi FD2S ✌
Thank you for another interesting tuturial!
How do we need to set up the Takeoff Ref page 2 for a NADP 1 takeoff? I'm not sure, where to set 3000ft exactly? I guess it is the acceleration height as we need the aircraft to accerlate to than start the flap retraction, isn't it? What about the reduction agl?
Could you tell us this briefly? Thank you!
Thrust reduction height remains the same, >=800 AGL (1500 AGL in his example). Acceleration height would be no more than 3000 AGL.
Hi MrPatLo.
If you have access to charts you can usually find the information in the Aerodrome Information section regarding Noise Abatement. The operator I work for also produces a briefing pack which is full of information such as what NADP procedure to use, unfortunately this is something I cannot share
FD2S
Thank you guys for both answers. I do have access to Lido charts. I just wanted to check that I set up the Takeoff Ref page 2 correctly for the case NADP 1 is required.
NADP 1 = 3000ft Acceleration Height (typically)
FD2S
At my company we use 3000ft for ALL departures except in the USA. We call this our bird strike avoidance procedure. Most birds fly around lower than 3000, and if we were to hit a bird, we would have less of a forward vector but more of a vertical vector... as well as lower overall IAS, theoretically reducing possible damage from a bird strike. In the US we use 1000 as their controllers like to aircraft out as fast as possible. Thrust reduction, we use 1000, and EO ACCEL is 800AGL, unless we have a SEOP that dictates a specific level off altitude.
I am really getting quite good at landing thanks to your tuition. Would you be able to, or point me at your videos that explain the different types of approaches je. Loc, locw, rnav etc.
Hi Jon,

Hi FD2S nice tutorial as per usual. Did you try the tip I told you, with the mouse wheel to increase Baro?
Hi Steve! I always used the mouse-wheel when setting the BARO MINS but it would only increase in single figures unlike the real aircraft and ZIBO MOD I’ve been using which allows you to increase in 10ft increments if you hold the outer knob in position! Maybe I’m missing something!
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Hi I found that if I hover over the baro knob it then changes to a hand. At that point I use the mouse wheel to increase the setting,so you can spin the wheel and quickly get to high numbers, helpful for Skithos approach. Or perhaps this is what you mean.
Regards Steve
I think it so but with the NGX it takes a few turns of the mouse wheel when setting high minima or MFRA’s! In the real aircraft you can hold the mins selector in place and you can set increments of a 1000ft every 5 seconds or so, this has been implemented with the ZIBO MOD 👍🏼
FD2S
Ah ok that does sound better. Think it may be time for PMDG to do a update and rectify a few wrinkles.
Steve.
Is TO/GA needed for using VNav then to work correctly?
Hi sir!
Very good video as always.
Could you please do a video about no packs take off please?
Thank you
And continue like that :)
Hi Med! Thanks a lot!
You’re requesting I believe a No Engine Bleed Take Off, planning for it in the future!
FD2S
Hello Captain! Can you provide feedback regarding the speed setting on the MCP for takeoff? Once the FMC provides a V2, I was of understanding that you add 20 additional knots as a safety margin? In this tutorial, only the V2 value is being entered in the MCP. Do operators have different SOPs regarding this? Thank you. Cheers!!
Hi Massimo.
It’s important to realise V2 is flown in the event of an engine failure when conducting manoeuvring and climbing after take off hence why it’s set on the MCP. For two engines the flight directors don’t pitch for V2 but command V2 +15-20 kts 👍🏼
FD2S
Got it, so the flight directors will add the +15-20 knots so do not dial this additional amount into the MCP. Thanks!!
Does the Fenix A320/FBW A32NX have VNAV Departure/Takeoff capability also?
Have you made any video flying a 737 without the FMC? I'm curious how we can navigate through waypoints on a 737 without the help of FMC, as it was made on the 732, 727, 707 and so on.
Hi ARI, not yet but I’ve made a note to look at a tutorial looking at FMC failures and how you’d fly the approach using just the basic autopilot modes (App or V/S)
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Would you divert or return to the airport in the case of an FMC failure or is that depending on the MEL?
Hi Bob,
Not usually. We would advise we were no longer "RNAV" compliant and we would have to be routed with vectors or via NAV AIDS. We could only fly an ILS or NPA using V/S. A lot of SID/STARS are based on waypoints which would require an FMS so we would have to fly a SID/STAR based on VOR's, which a lot still thankfully are!
FD2S
You say "we don't use vnav", do you do all the height stuff manually?
Hi
Would you know if there is way to load the 737-800 cdu
to fly a SID out of say LIPZ with a short cruise to do an approach into
LOWI doing a manual touch and go from 6miles then complete a SID out with airways and a STAR into EDDL as a continuous flight?
Many thanks,
pdg17 Gray off the top of my head no, if there are no airways in between you could make DIRECT waypoints? Just join the dots!
FD2S
Do you ever fly to Shannon airport (EINN) In real life?
I've just found your channel recently, and I'm glad it happened. Your videos helped me figure out how many mistakes I make even though I'm trying to be as realistic as possible inside the sim. Huge thanks! I have one little question, that was really bothering me for some time - what are the differences between ILSZ, ILSX, ILSY? Also, why pilots are usually so 'mysterious'? Is it some company restrictions or just need for privacy? Anyway, greetings from Eastern Europe :^)
Hi Madman
You'll find different designators (X,Y, Z) usually when they have different approaches to establish onto the ILS and/or different missed approach procedures based on different navigational aids.
Regarding a "mysterious persona" I personally choose not to say exactly where I am, where I'm based and who I have worked/currently work for as previously on forums where I posted with my real name people would contact me directly on social media and incessantly ask for material/copies of manuals and checklists for the company I work for.
My company, colleagues and friends are well aware of my project and they respectfully keep my anonymity, or at least I hope!
Thank you for your understanding.
FD2S
When I’m flying on planes I’m sure the aircraft reduces thrust first and then starts acceleration. Can the thr reduce and accel altitudes reverse order sometimes?
Hi Thomas, absolutely. THR RED is typically 1500ft where acceleration height can vary from 1000ft to 3000ft based on Noise Abatement.
You might find this useful.

I am having trouble getting the VNAV to activate. I push the button and it does compress but with no light and no function. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? Is it something that I am screwing up in the FMC or autopilot?
Great videos and thanks for the help
Likely to be something wrong with the routing in the FMC or you haven't filled in every page. The FMC needs to be correctly loaded for VNAV to work!
FD2S
Routing and perfs were good. Found out it was that both flight directors were not on. At least when I switched the other one on it starting working.
how you make it to run by himself to runway? ( auto taxi ? )
Giancarlo Gigel don’t think there will ever be such a thing,
How do you move camera inside cockpit?
Looks like he's using EZdok Version 2 judging by the PC SPECs above.
Please tell me please , is that possible with the Zebo Mod ? or only in PMDG ?? Thanks :)
No problem using VNAV for departure in the ZIBO MOD
FD2S
Hi, how many Fps do you set in your SIM please? Looks very smooth.
I now use XP11 and get a solid 30-45fps with this setup whilst running a plethora of software in the background!
FD2S
@@flightdeck2sim Many thanks for the quick response. Does look very impressive. I'm still old school using fs9 but as I've spent so much time and money on it I'm still hesitant to start a fresh with XP11. Do you use Track IR in your videos?
I haven't tried Track IR but I quite like using the mouse/keypad to look around!
I can only recommend coming over, not only from a flying perspective which is much more realistic, the stability of the sim is second to none, it simply hasn't crashed yet!
I use just a few plugins, ortho4xp for scenery and a few airport addons (see livestreams and video description)
Good luck!
FD2S
@@flightdeck2sim Thanks so much for the advice. Glad to hear there are no crashing issues with XP11, as developers are no supporting Fs9 as much I think it won't be long before I will have to update.
Q: If you Have low stop altitude let's say 4000 feet and You are doing ndap 1, Do You set bug up or vs + 1000 at 3000 ?
Hi Piotr, bug up as soon as you’re at 3000ft ALL or if ALT ACQ happens before bug up then.
Regarding your previous comment I do not answer queries regarding specific company procedures. It has been removed.
FD2S
flightdeck2sim Thanks :) Great video ! I´m sorry for that comment.
At my company we usually (if we are feeling lazy) engage the AP at 400 or 500 ft and VNAV all the way to the stop altitude. My home base has a stop altitude of 5000. If we see traffic descending in our path, then we will use VS +1000 to avoid nuisance TAs or RAs. Once the flaps come up, you will accelerate to either the first speed restriction or 250kn, which ever is lower. Assuming you are below 10k, and even then we adjust the 250/10000 restriction so its 10kAGL not MSL.
I can't find the NADP info in the charts. I use Navigraph (jeppesen).
Hi Johnny. It’s not always mentioned in the AD information, I reference the briefing pack which I’m not in position to share! Sorry I cannot help further!
FD2S
Johnny Wing in some navigraph airports charts there is information about noise abaitment depature procedure but not for every airport
They are in the same folder as Ground charts if You use navigraph.Taxi--»airport briefing
My question is: when I'm at 6000 feet using vnav and I'm getting cleared to say 12,000 feet, I select 12,000 but the plane does not climb automatically... so I press level change and right after I press vnav again... Is that the way to do it?
alt intv
@@piotrkuler2474 Wow, thank you! Altitude intervention :D
Hi, if you have any questions about X-Plane 11 or Zibo 737 don't hesitate to ask me :-)
Hi Squawk! Thanks for the offer but getting on ok for now!
FD2S
How do you get ils/dme on pfd while takeoff?
Why they do that on takeoff?
To use the DME distance for the initial turn 👍🏼
Perfect described 👍🏼
Hi, can you explain why the course of captain is 104, and the first officer is 079? And why they are both different to heading? (i know the heading is the heading of the runway, 258º, but shouldn't courses be equal to heading?) Sorry for my bad english, continue your excellent work (Y)
SkaN Those courses you are referring to are for the VOR radial tracking. They are used as a backup for raw data flying should all FMC's fail. As you've said these are courses, the 258° is runway Heading. Hope it helps 👍.
Perfectly described Makss, thanks.
The course SkaN is called a QDM when flying inbound to a beacon. It’s just a way of backing up the FMC and don’t apologise for your English, I can guarantee it’s far better than me replying in your respective language!!!
FD2S
hmm thats wierd, I always use vnav since its much simpler
Hi Julian, yes as do a lot of operators but every airline will have different SOP’s and operate their aircraft slightly differently.
FD2S
At which company do you fly?
You shouldn't ask, because if if he told you that he would be plagued with too many personal questions & his employer probably would not like it either.
The only way you will ever find out is if on a flight you hear an announcement on the PA " This is your Captain/FO flightdeck2sim welcoming you aboard today's flight." :)
Thanks Richard!
Yes a matter of not being plagued personal questions. My employer is aware and doesn’t mind but I choose to remain anonymous!
FD2S
With the company rules you’re using it sounds very much like you’re a pilot for jet2.com not 100% but very similar rules.
I always thought thrust reduction altitude was lower than acceleration altitude
Hi Thomas, not necessarily. We don’t use Takeoff Page 2/2 and leave it at the default of 1500ft 👍🏼
“We don’t use VNAV.” I’m curious, why wouldn’t an operator use VNAV?
mrwilsox Boeing has previously suggested to arm VNAV after takeoff so alot companys still apply that procedure
You’d be quite surprised how different operators fly their aircraft and how frequently changes are made to SOP’s! This is just one example!
FD2S
