Set NAV for departures that nav to an initial waypoint and only use heading if you are getting radar vectors to the initial waypoint. NEVER set Vertical speed prior to takeoff! Typically use FLC at 400 feet after takeoff or vert speed is possible at that time too. Many pilots will not use VS in climb, due to no airspeed protection. Some do though, depending on the situation. I often use it over FLC to keep the nose from hunting for the speed, especially as you get higher where performance decreases. There are other legit times to use it as well, but never set it prior to takeoff. In any case, wait until 400 feet AGL to set any vertical mode, usually the same times as flap retraction.
Thanks for your info. Nav is good on takeoff if your fpl has the starting runway in the fpl if not then it's not a good idea to use nav on takeoff . However this series is not on how to follow procedures as I state in every video, this series is to help you understand how to use the g5000 and how to use the avionics/ ap in the plane and not on how and when you should use them. I'm not a pilot and am only doing these to help you understand the aircraft better.
Your videos are really useful, mate! I know how much work it takes to record and edit such kind of content. Keep uploading and congrats for that Navigraph colab, you deserve that and much more.
As others have said, really appreciate the manseq explanation. I've had that happen, and had no clue what was going on there. Also appreciate the discussion around the hard left on the way out of Key West. I've stepped in that puddle, too, and wondered why I was circling back to the airport when I hit nav on the AP. This whole series is phenomenal--thanks for doing these!
So far these are some of the most informational and in-depth videos about Longitude. Looking forward to the last one. Thank you again for all the knowledge.
thanks man i really appreciate this, the level of detail and extra information that you go into is so tremendously helpful for a beginner sim pilot like me. merry christmas to you
Thanks for the “Manseq” discussion… I’m an Xbox simmer and this drives me crazy when I am trying to get a flight plan entered! I’ve actually found that when I delete the manseq at the arr/apr, it completes the leg to where I want to go.
Just FYI you can see the centre of gravity part of the weights and balance window in flight. Open the weights panel and then drag out the right side of the window to reveal the rest of the info. (I only found this out recently too despite playing since launch :D).
Very nice video indeed. I have one remark though. When flying out the runway and making the left turn to intercept the active leg you clearly see your plane is not flying symetrical. The use of rudder is mandatory in each turn a plane makes (especially in HPA planes). Check out the skid slip indicator....
Thanks for your comment and info . This video is not how to follow procedures or how to fly the plane I went over all this at the beginning . The goal of the video is to simply help you to get a better understanding of the G3000/5000 and how to use all of its functions.
Just a heads up on the 'manseq' waypoint. The reason that disconnects from the final approach is because you have vectors selected as the star in your landing config. If you select a star instead of vectors, it will connect the routes and you won't have that problem. hope that helps someone!
I use the Honeycomb B Throttle Quadrant and would like to bind the Auto Throttle to an unused button because of the location of the switch on the bottom side of the throttle lever in the Longitude. Are you using a Honeycomb B and if so, how do you have it configured for Auto Throttle? Thanks for all your great help. Captain Dave 3:59
I use Honeycomb B Throttle. I tried to bind two buttons, one for arm autothrottle and the other for the autothrottle disconnect. It didn't work at first. Then I used the same trick as for the landing gear. Select on release instead of on press under action type.
6: 10 RAT is ram air temp at pitot. When not moving on ground it should = outside air temp. Note: Metar winds are true. ATIS is magnetic. (always an exception: digital atis is true)
Hello! Thank you! I am following your videos to fly the Longitude, but I have a problem. The TOD does not show up to start the descent. Can you please help?
On the XBox, you can drag the right side of the Weights & Balance window out to reveal another part of the window which includes setting the balance. Not sure if that is the same as the PC.
@@2020fsers Thanks for quality videos. The Empty Weight %MAC slider is a fixed value. When the aircraft is shipped the FAA requires TCDS Type certification data sheet (includes fixed ref datum, fixed lemac, fixed MAC. See FAA website. The aircraft is then weighed by certified AMT at empty weight and this Empty Weight %MAC is posted in AFM. The slider in MFS for EW %MAC should be set once to this value. I use the default value of 29.2 (see reset button at bottom of page). The Center of Gravity value just below is the calculated number that one should plug into Trim values chart on checklist. Notice how it changes with varying wieghts. If CG out of range you have to adjust payload or fuel to bring in CG range. Honestly, how would you know if you are out of CG range if you manipulate this EW%MAC slider to put w/b in range. See FAA-H-8083-1B Chapter 2 and 3. No offense. You do a great job for not being a licensed pilot. The FAA Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI) and Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI) requires no air time and no endorsement, Costs about $200. You should get it!
Hey thanks for the info on the weights I really had no idea about that and thought to.just manipulate that slider but it does make sense how can I adjust cg with a slider lol it is set at factory and only moving weight around is the only remedy for an imbalance I feel so dumb now logically it makes sense once pointed out so thank you for that. Second I also had no idea about the instructor course you mentioned I will.look into that thanks a bunch ☺️ 👍
@@2020fsers I am retired RW PPL and IGI. Basically just an aviation buff. Not flying anymore. Just the sim. BTW all FAA manuals are free. The IGI or AGI will give you creds. I just used $20 Gleim Q and A books. Longitude is great aircraft for VATSIM newbies, as VATSIM is airliner biased, mostly for events. Lots of youtubers have no RW experience or RW pilots license. Go for it. Good Luck
The 32% is not degrees. It refers to the percentage of mean aerodynamic chord. Keep up the good work. This really helps with the details of flying this aircraft.
You will need ATC Approval to deviate from your Deoarture like that. There must have been a reason for that Published Departure to have that tight of a turn... Often, if that turn is not required, Departure Control will give you Vectors to a more comfortable Flight Plan intercept. Overall, excellent description of the Cockpit Procedures and WHY it is done that way. Makes the information much easier to remember, rather than simply do this, and then do this, etc. Some of my comments may seem to be "nit picking"; just filling in some real world experience.
thanks for the comment and i understand what you are saying . yes you would need atc approval to deviate but this series is not on following proper procedures or talking to atc as there are many variables when atc gets involved, its more on how to operate and use the g5000 and the longitude , i went over that in the beginning.
The departure procedure would be “turn left heading x intercept y”. You don’t need to follow the magenta line to comply with the departure procedure. If a tight turn is required it would have included “remain within z DME of y”.
Hi 2020 fs'ers, this is a great series on a great FS2020 plane, the link to part 4 of the series in fact is for "how to run FS.. in high priority mode" ??, was this an error or am missing something. Thanks so much for your efforts :-)
Hey Mike thanks for the comment .. it is showing a best video for now inhavent finished part 4 yet that should be soon after I finish the Pimax series . First couple vids only because i have my entire room setup with lighting and cameras to Do live filming of the pimax process so when the live stuff is done I will get back to other vids.
Hello, Can you advise on use of speed break device, should the speed break be armed for landing to deploy on touch down also can you advise what amount of travel you should get on extend ?
@@2020fsers I was refering to the "Takeoff Data" button. You sent to the Speed Bug button and used the table. So the "Takeoff Data" button will calculate the V speeds for you, no need to use the "table".

I got quite confused on this on because it went to a departure procedure (VARGAS4) that doesn't appear in my plane.
As the airac cycle changes so do the departures. You may have a vargas 3 you can use that as well

I don't use the speed brake unless needed so I don't arm it. When you apply reversers the speed brakes deploy I believe anyway.
