Hi Mish, hope you and your family are doing well. I figured I would do some of these Shorts to get me back making content, even though it is existing content condensed to 1 minute. Trying to think of what I want to do next as far as original content. Nice hearing from you again, you are the only graduate of the course...

@@subsonicflighttraining Thanks so much Captain,I hope you and your family are well too ,i'm so proud to be a good student, you are a great instructor , I'll be always loyal to the channel where i learned a lot , keep going and I'm tuning for new short ,have a wonderful day .

Thank you so much! Yes, exactly. Prior to making the modification you could go to RTE page 1 and Select RTE COPY and the existing Route will go into RTE 2, for example, if the Active Route is RTE 1. Then, if ATC says forget that, go back to your original routing, you can go to RTE 2, Activate, Execute, and then do what ATC wants you to do, like go present position direct BEEZR...

Thank you so much. Steep Turns I think are actually harder on a desktop than the real simulator...

Thank you so much. That means a lot coming from a fellow instructor/check airmen. Even though my channel is meant for flight simmers, I get a lot of real world pilots watching them as well...

After the jet makes the 940 feet on a heading of 344, it will go to DODVE on the 344 course, predicted by the FMC to cross at 1630 feet, then the 342 course to WUREL to cross at or above...

Congratulations on retirement! I trained and checked a lot of Atlas pilots in the mid-90’s, before you guys had a simulator. Let me know if I can help. If not me, I had many flight simmers in my class that knew Aerowinx and computer issues better than I do. I can put you in touch through my discord…

@@subsonicflighttraining thank you, I would appreciate it!

Do you really Ed? I always thought I made too many mistakes live like not switching views to go to the QRH. It was challenging doing it live with all the juggling between flight deck, approach charts, QRH, no First Officer, etc…

@@subsonicflighttraining I understood that it was a challenge. What I learned helped me enjoy the sim on another level.

@@edwardarruda7215 Thanks Ed, glad to get that feedback. That was my goal, exactly what you said...

Yes, correct, if the Autothrottle was off and the power was as is, it would overspeed. The Autothrottle is controlling speed in Level Flight as long as it is engaged...

Aerowinx PSX B747-400

More to come! Thank you @jan6793...

The trim comes from the final weight and balance in %MAC (Mean Aerodynamic Chord) so if your final CG was 24.6% MAC, you would input 25% on the TAKEOFF REF page (round up) and the FMC will compute the units of trim to set via the trim switches on the control column referencing the trim indicator just to the left and right of the Thrust Quadrant. The CG will come from the sim flight plan or final weight paperwork in the jet. If you are not sure, just use 25% and make sure you are in the green band for takeoff...

I have dropped Prepar3D, so my PMDG planes went with it. I have moved to MSFS and hope PMDG will make a 747 for the new Microsoft Platform. PSX is the most accurate in terms of model fidelity in normals and non-normals for the 747. PMDG and MSFS is better in terms of the visual aspect. So, I would use PSX in more of a procedures trainer role and PMDG/MSFS in more of a visual entertainment experience. Nothing compares to the advanced simulators/jet since you have real aerodynamic forces and real control column forces at work, not to mention real views from above terra firma...

@@subsonicflighttraining Some even claim that MSFS graphics outdo reallife😂😅 But landing in PSX with a realistic throttle and yoke (the expensive ones with elevator-feel) doesn't mean you can land a real 747

Yes, it gyrated quite a bit, you will see that if you intercept a Localizer at angles greater than 30 degrees as well. If I was flying for real, I probably would have gone to HDG SEL or HDG HOLD until passing the Waypoint if it started to make a turn like that...

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for finding some value in my videos. TH-cam is asking me to make more content, is there anything you would like to see in particular, if so let me know...

Glad to hear it!

Thank you for the kind words. That would make a good video. I will note that as a video to make when I start producing again.

@@subsonicflighttraining Very good. Thank you for keeping the greatest airplane alive.

These CDU exercises are from PMDG 747 software which at that time was run on P3D v4

Thank you! I assume you are referring to tank to engine configuration. Override 2&3 pumps have 2 times the output pressure of Main Tank Pumps 1, 2, 3, and 4. So when you have all pumps ON and all cross feeds open, override/jettison pumps 2 provide fuel to engines 1&2, and override/jettison pumps 3 provide fuel to tanks 3&4. When we go tank to engine we turn off 2&3 override pumps and we close cross feeds 1&4 to ensure that main tanks feed their respective engines for the rest of the flight as all tanks are relatively equal at that point.

@@subsonicflighttraining Thx! But why are the crossfeeds of 1&4 closed, if they're left open it would still be tank to engine. As boost pumps 2&3 can't override boostpumps 1&4 (unlike the override pumps which are turned off for tank to engine config).

Yes, that’s true, but there can be differences in pump pressures between the main pumps, so to ensure the differences are somewhat isolated, cross feeds 1&4 are closed, so that main tank pumps 1&4 feed engines 1&4 respectively and are truly tank to engine and main tanks 2&3 feed their respective engines and keep the cross bleed manifold pressurized. This way if there are small differences, they would show up as a small lateral imbalance between the inboard tanks instead of the outboards, which is no big deal at all in the 747. Even large lateral imbalances are not a big concern, but we get warnings for imbalances of 3000 pounds for the inboard and 6000 pounds for the outboard tanks.

@@subsonicflighttraining Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Excellent, I love to hear that! Congratulations and best of luck on the Queen…

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! That is a visual representation or symbology that those pumps are the Override Pumps 2 & 3. During fuel tank to engine, we have to manually turn off Overrides 2 & 3 and close cross feeds 1 & 4, so this is just a nice visual method of confirming you are indeed turning off the Overrides. Since they have 2X the output of a main tank pump, they represent that with the fuel, or more of it in the funnel or beaker compared to the main tanks, not a weird question by the way…

Not a bad practice at all…

Great to hear!

Thank you!

My pleasure!

Thank you very much!

The FMS-CDU, Sometimes just called the CDU, or MCDU. Flight Management System Control Display Unit, or Multipurpose Control Display Unit. It is the interface between the pilot and the FMC, Flight Management Computer…

Thank you, glad you find value in my tutorial briefings…

I do not remember that being an issue, is that a current thing? I have no clue why it would do that…

Excellent! We do not recommend aerodynamic braking or continuing to hold the nose off as long as possible. At the same time, you are not lowering the nose either. When you touchdown, you do hold a slight nose up pressure to prevent the nose from slamming into the ground, and then you are not continuing that back pressure, but allowing the nose to fall to the runway in a nice, controlled manner under its own weight. It is a feel thing that is developed when flying the jet.

My pleasure!

Not sure what you are referencing, maybe the Captain’s PFD?

@@subsonicflighttraining the window with the plane Flying from left to right. You can se the angel the plane decent. The rectangular one. Sorry for bad English

@@andreaskjork518 Don't worry about the English, it is a 100% better than if I tried to write in your language. Yes, that is the Vertical Situation Display (VSD) on the Navigation Display (ND). You display it from the EFIS Control Panel. The MAP, PLAN, VOR, and APP has a CTR Pushbutton. When you push it once, it goes from Expanded Mode on the ND to Full Centered 360 degrees mode. If you push it again, it displays the VSD on the bottom 1/3 of the ND. The VSD is available on the 747-8...

Get the clearance, Clarence!

Thanks Frank!

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!

LOL, I don’t dare ask why your instructor was crooked. Thank you, glad you find value from my videos…

Indian ?

Greeting Tara, I have taught quite a few Russian crews like Air Bridge Cargo and others. I still have beautiful shot glasses and Vodka bottles given as gifts after the training, great guys. Very strong boys, really firm handshakes, that is what I remember the most…
