Beginners Guide to ILS in the PMDG 737-700 in Microsoft Flight Simulator
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ค. 2022
- A beginners guide to ILS in the PMDG 737-700 in Microsoft Flight Simulator - taking the aircraft out for two manual circuits - demonstrating the cockpit settings to enable ILS, and how the symbology reflects your position in the sky. Next we enable a full auto-pilot led ILS approach, and auto-land.

As ever, I make some small mistakes while talking (I'm terrible at multi-tasking), but they are always instructional - and useful to see the resolutions. We'll keep quiet about leaving the airbrakes partly extended on the second circuit :) Something I completely forgot to talk about - for approach mode to capture, in most aircraft you HAVE to approach the glideslope from below - i.e. fly straight and level into the beam.
to add, it really helps to intersect the glideslope at an angle unless you are in the center axis of it if approaching straight on. Good vid!
Thanks to this video, I made my very first ILS landing in a really bad , stormy night. It was incredible. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
My name is Kenny from Staten Island - and I just cudn't figure out this 737 -
But This Vid Saved me, and now I understand what was needed to fly this plane - thank you so much - OH by the way you were my number 2 - Now you're my number ONE (lol) again thank you for ALL your time & help
Such a great, easy going informative video. Thank you so much Jonathan. I have forgotten everything after a 4 year hiatus with the 737.
You're very welcome!
There's gonna be some 'experts' (or Armchair Alfies, as a friend of mine calls them) who will downvote this video, but they're missing something. The fact that you made errors. which you spotted and corrected, actually made it easier for me to engage with what you were demonstrating, and thus learn and absorb things easier. Thank you :)
I never edit, and never remove mistakes - because nobody learns anything from a perfect (edited) flight :) Thank you!
This was brilliant mate, it really helped me to understand what I was doing wrong with standard ILS approaches as opposed to the usual 'SID-ROUTE-STAR-RNAV' FMC programming. Sometimes it's best to completely re-visit "the basics" on these modern aircraft to keep your hand flying proficiency up to date. Thank you! :)
You're welcome :)
This is a excellent tutorial Jonathan!! I'm learning to fly the 737-700 and this has helped a ton!! Thank you!! Please keep up the good work
Jonathan I just want to say thank you, you do such a wonderful way of explaining. In fact, I just made a perfect landing with the PMDG :-).
You're welcome :)
I Recently flew this execise in a simulator and the instructor said to me to keep practising this on my sim and you will have nice landing every time. so thanks for vid as i folowed it at my speed , as when your in a real every thing is done so quickly and you dont have time for it to sink in so your vid was what i learnt in the sim but my brain took it in and understood it lol thx again
Have fun!
Just did an auto land, it was so satisfying
excellent video. good learning. i didn't know auto pilot can land the plane. you showed it to look so easy.
It IS so easy :) You just press a few buttons, and the plane pretty much lands itself. You would be surprised how many *very* experienced "simmers" are experts at programming the autopilot, but can't actually fly a plane for toffee - and if they face having to do a manual landing, will invariably kill several hundred people sitting behind them.
Another idea for the 737 series is how to add fuel and passengers from SIM breif. In the fly by wire it was all done with a button click so it's a bit different now
It's in the FMC :)
Fantastic - Looks familiar as a long time 'zibo' user. Often think about trying the PMDG in MSFS.
Look gorgeous, Might ponder jumping ship!
Go for it!
Hey, thank you. A message in relation to my purchase of the 737-700.
A great job your doing on the videos for this aircraft.
I find these posts very easy to follow, much appreciate the hard work.
now! one issue. I would implore you sir to not get 60% of the way through, and then stop.
I shall be very cro...rather cross if that happens.
I'm sure to be closer to 90yrs old than yourself, this is a huge learning curve for an old dyslexic.
Its being made easier thanks to your method of instruction. Thank you
Thankyou!
@@jonbeckett Now that's out the way, what can I do to help keep you doing these?
I have MSFS, I have Navmap, I have this aircraft. Ps I'm up here in the Southern hemisphere.
So New Zealand flights are my focus for now.
Thanks 😊 learned some stuff there
This was suuuuper helpful tysmmmm
Very instructive and informativ video. Thank you Jonathan. I´m buing this aircraft SOON. Right season to fly airlainers now. In summer I rather fly GA. Thanks again for a great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks an another great video. I always fly the Airbus NX which is a lot easier. When I compare the Airbus versus the Boeing , there's so much to do in the Boeing . I just tried your flight in the PMDG and did manage land on the runway haha
The real trick is to make it to the runway when there is low visibility :)
Hi Jonathan
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
Probably one of the most explicit tutorial!!
Thanks again
Thank you much for sharing. I've learned a lot out of this tutorial.
Wow! Another tutorial already!! Thanks again 🙏🙏😁😁
You're welcome :)
Would you mind doing a video where your midflight and have a flight plan programmed, and you have to either make immediate detour landing at a close by airport. I want to see how you do that in the Flight management computer for an ILS landing.
That's not a bad idea at all
Thank you ❤
Exactly what I needed to know. Thx for sharing !
No problem!
@@jonbeckett I’m surprised how easy 737-700 is to fly. Just after a couple tries, I feel much more comfortable and it wasn’t as hard as I imagined. A32NX is almost too easy and if you want a real challenge and be busy, try CRJ :)
Great video, easy to understand, thanks!
You're welcome!
I dont get the diamonds on my pfd i have a different one i have a pink triangle and this scale, its like when you do a rnav approach in an airbus that kind of scale
Nice one, only the final not good? ( after touching the ground the aircraft went right and left to center the centerline ) I'm having the same behaviour: do you know what's the root cause? Thanks
Bravo! made sense to me.... time to try it out!
You're welcome :)
Hey thank you! it was quite useful. Thanks!
You're welcome!
i fly ILS approaches all the time in other aircraft but i cannot get it to work in the 737. hoping this solves that problem!
Should be fine.
BRILLIANT !!!!!!
Very nice Video, I am having a problem picking up the Vertical ILS diamond. I duplicate what you did in the video. I pick up the lateral diamond but never the Vertical diamond. I have doubled checked everything but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thx, Thomas
Did you have approach mode on before you flew through the glideslope ?
Not sure, will try again this am. Thanks for the response.
Flew again, everything set up, Had the lateral Diamond lit up, but never once had the vertical diamond even appear. Flew right over the center of the runway at 2000"
Everything in my pmdg 737 stopped working inflight. Autopilot fucked off and was fighting me the last 2 hours of my flight. I have to land manually in bad weather in Toronto. Very dissappointed with this aircraft and my purchase.
I have never had that happen. It may be your controller configuration. There is a common situation in MSFS where people have various controllers configured that continually hits the starter switches - which depletes the battery and causes exactly what you saw.
You are GOOD fella!
Not THAT good - just practice a fair amount :)
@@jonbeckett u must practice a LOT my good man haha. I have a question if u don't mind, I am trying to get autoland to work but no joy it always comes up No Autoland on the nav display, I know there's a zillion things it could be but I am missing something obviously... any pointers as to where I should be looking?
Great work. Thank you.☺️
Thank you :)
Nicely done.. A small correction on your comment about weather vane effect on downwind.... there is so such effect when in flight.. Physics doesn't allow this. I suspect you are simply seeing the results of a small control input. If flying using the autopilot in track mode, a crab angle will be calculated, but when hand flying, there is nor reason for the plane to try to point into the wind.
Erm... of course physics will allow it. Commercial airliners have a colossal vertical stabiliser, and it's at one end of the aircraft - meaning if the wind is from the side, the plane will gently yaw into the wind.
What map do you use? Is it a program? The hardest part for me is finding the actual ILS frequencies and CRS headings for an auto landing
It's a free app called "LittleNavMap".
What's the easiest way to find the required ILS frequencies?
LittleNavMap.
Excellent !
Glad you like it!
To use Approach mode does LNAV and VNAV have to be turned off?
No - but it will take over when it kicks in - think of it as being armed :)
This was extremely informative and helped with the ILS landing. Question, when using the spoilers, I have been using the mouse to move it but it's very slow. How do you move it so easily?
I have the Airbus quadrant from Thrustmaster - it has a lever for the spoilers :)
@@jonbeckett thanks for getting back to me. I don’t have a throttle set yet. I plan to purchase the Honeycomb Throttle very soon and I hope that will help with that. Thanks again.
@@rob0085 You're welcome :)
@@rob0085 You can also use the idents..if you look just to the right of the lever-you'll see it has labels for UP ARMED HALF and full. if you just click on say armed, or half..it will go directly to that setting.
@@noway9880 I'll check that out next time. thanks
Good Job !
Thanks!
Why does the yellow master caution light keep showing
Because of a configuration issue.
Fantastic thank you 🔥
You're welcome
great video. What are your pc specs?
I7 3.6Ghz, NVIDIA 3080 RTX, 16Gb RAM, SSD + NVME
Does the auto land also control deployment of flaps ?
No.
Jonathan, on what moment do you turn off the auto throttle? You (auto) land the plane, view from outside and your auto throttle is still activated. When you go back inside the plane after touchdown I see that the switch is turned off. When precisely does in need to be turned off?
I'm pretty sure it turns itself off (you've got me wondering now what triggers it)
@@jonbeckett I will try it tonight and let you know.. ;-)
I have my rudders binded but the nose wheel and rudder are not moving..help please
There is a separate rudder and nosewheel axis in the sim, plus you can configure their relationship in the FMC.
@@jonbeckett where is the setting inn the fmc? Thank you for your help!
@@mcshiggitypilot5901 menu, PMDG setup, Options, Simulation Page 7 - for "Rudder axis only" bind the rudder axis to the rudder axis in the sim control settings, and if you chose the option "Prop1 axis + Rudder, you have to bind another axis to the propeller 1 axis in the sim control settings to be able to control the rudder and the tiller separately - like in real life.
@@mcshiggitypilot5901 It's in the MENU page - either one of the pages under PMDG, or the FS OPTIONS section (sorry I can't help more - I'm at work now)
@@jonbeckett I actually found the problem ! I was getting low pressure lights on the overhead panel, Flt control, electric A&B , so I went to the maintenance option on the FMC , and had the virtual mechanic add hydraulic fluid! Took about a minute, all was well!
Why does it keep saying too low terrain.
Because the terrain is nearby :)
Does the plane go to idle on its own on auto land?
It's up to you to disengage the auto-throttle :)
@@jonbeckett Thankyou! So for clarity when the aircraft lands on its own the pilot has to pull the throttle back
@@captain7956 Yes - and typically the pilot will go for reverse thrust and full spoilers immediately - then at about 70 knots stop the reverse thrust, and go to wheel brakes.
@@jonbeckett thank you for replying - great tutorials
@@captain7956 you're welcome :)
