The startup procedure on the 747 is not as easy as with other airplanes, but this video will show you step-by-step how the startup procedure works. PLEASE note that I might have left some things out, such as checking certain systems or turning on or off some other switches, but this video is purely intended to show how the startup procedure itself works so that you can get your 747-400 to work properly.
Why didn't I include the FMC programming? This is a whole other subject that would require a seperate and large video. Again, this video is intended to show you the startup procedure of the systems, air conditioning and engines ONLY. This allows you to at least start flying the aircraft, even without any FMC programming.
How to create a Cold & Dark cockpit?
- Use the iFly configuration manager, go to My Fleet, select one of your aircraft and select Cold & Dark as startup state.
Reading tutorials is essential. To learn the startup procedure I have used the following tutorials:
- The iFly Boeing 747-400 V2 manual that comes with the product
- smithplanet.com...

Ben je Nederlands?
Could you've started the APU after the battery instead of using ground power? And how would that work?
Pls help my default b747-400 turn rightward automatically after takeoff.
Thanks for the tutorial...now my next step is to buy a 747.
You're welcome, good luck!
you go rich brother
Find one on Craigslist
You ever buy one??
I mean it’s not like they are ever really locked on the tarmac or need a key ya know...
I like that he explains the function of the different configurations. I've seen so many videos where they just tell you stuff but give no explanation to what it does or affects the aircraft.
Does anyone else get really relaxed watching such start up’s, or is it just me? 😂 ✈️
I love watching/doing startups!
Enjoyed the video, just an important correction, if you were in the real jet or simulator, when you do the Before Start procedure, and you have clearance to pressurize hydraulics from the ground crew, the FO would put #4 Hydraulic Demand Pump to AUX first, and then HYD Demand Pump 1 to AUTO (or AUX if the jet has it) and #2 and 3 to Auto. Doing it in this order pressurizes the normal brake system first and prevents a fluid transfer between systems. Normal Brakes are on system 4, with Alternate Brakes on 1 or 2 systems, so if you pressurize 1 first, the transfer valve will shuttle over and when 4 is pressurized, you could get a transfer of fluid between systems.
thx for the advice
Thank You so much for this Video. You talk slow and clear, easy to understand. Very well done.
Thank you, you're welcome! :)
A very interesting video on the cockpit of the Boeing 747-400, the start up aspect.
I can watch these kind of video's for hours without getting bored for a single moment.
Thank you very much !!
Good to hear, thanks for watching! :)
Great Video. I was able to carry out my very 1st flight on flight sim with the help of this video and my friend who is a qualified FO on the 767 for DHL. He was very impressed. Keep up the hard work
Thank you very much AviationPro for taking the time in making this detailed tutorial. I believe you're the only person who has made a video this way for the iFly 747 400.
I want to let you know that I appreciate the time and effort you put into making this and other videos, as I'm sure your viewers do as well. In the future if I have other ideas on video tutorials, you will be my "go-to person" to get this done. Thanks again!
El Nido I'm glad to hear all that, thanks for watching! :)
thank you, Stealing a 747 today😁 wish me
Great video and tutorial. In my honest opinion, if you understand Boeing planes very well and your knowledge of aircraft systems in general is very good, and that you approach a plane in a very logical way, then you would definitely prepare the 747 for flight by yourself. BUT...following the procedures in the form of a pre-flight SOP is the best way to handle the 747. That's what you did good in this video. These planes are made to be operated realistically!
hi aviation pro hope u well today i love ur videos i love this plane is amazing to fly and learn
cockpit looks so real, Very clear lesson.
Thanks!
Keep up the great work buddy, we support you here from Philippines. Thank you for the effort bro.
Rajiv Panicker Thanks a lot! :)
Great video! Typically a fire test would be done before the engine start, but other than that this video is perfect!
Very nice tutorial-well explained. A beautifully modeled flightdeck I must say, however I am still waiting for the PMDG 747-400 V3 as I expect it will have less impact on the FPS. Looking forward to flying the 747-400 again, it adds an extra dimension to flight simulation.
Thank you! Yes me too, especially since I'm now using Prepar3D, the beta PMDG 747 V3 looks really nice! :)
I am from Russia but I understood all words, all procedures. Thanks! 👍
You're welcome! :)
I recently got interested in getting a flight simulator for my pc..just wanted to thank you for the video..its actually the reason i got interested
Thank you for a very CLEAR explanation of this critical stage of the ground procedure of this aircraft. THX = 7-Stars
You're welcome!
You might give a thought to checking the fire detection and suppression before starting the engines or the APU so it you have a start malfunction or fire, you know you can see it and do something about it. Everything I've flown so far does that... When I check out on the 747, I expect it to be the same.
Nice video, just a clarification for your own knowledge. The Safety Check, or Electrical Power-Up procedure as Boeing calls it, is a read and do supplemental procedure procedure which turns the Battery ON, Standby Power to AUTO, Hydraulic Demand Pumps OFF, Windshield Wipers OFF, Landing Gear Lever DOWN, Alternate Flaps OFF, and the Flap Lever and Flap Indication Agree. The Bus Tie Switches AUTO, then AC power can be established with EXT or APU power. In actual line operations, it is rare to do this since the jet is usually powered up and at the jetway by maintenance or by the previous crew's arrival.
The safety check is designed so there are no surprises like leading edge or trailing edge flaps moving when they shouldn't, or wipers start running on a dry windshield and scratch it, etc. After power is established, then there is a preliminary preflight procedure, which brings the IRU's to NAV, checks STATUS page quantities, the logbook, CB's, Emergency Equipment, the Overhead Maintenance Panel, and the Parking Brake Set if brake wear indicator pins are checked. After this is the FMS-CDU Preflight and then after that is checking the overhead panel in a scan flow that goes from the overhead panel to the side panels, to the Forward Instrument Panel, to the Thrust Quadrant, to the Aisle Stand. Of course, the Captain and FO have specific duties of what they are checking and how they are checking it.
Thank you! Thanks for your detailed explanation, I would have loved to cover all such detail in this tutorial, but this is just a basic startup ;)
@Miles Denning It is quite a heavy addon, so I'm not sure if you will get as much framerates as you do with the CS 757. However, they are working on a service pack which is said to improve the performance as well, so you might want to wait for that to see the results!
were I get this simulator
can u able to send the url to download
You need to buy microsoft flight simulator and then you can expand it by buying addons like this iFly 747-400 V2
+AviationPro where did you get the addon from? Thanks and great video :D
Thanks! You can buy it over at flight1.com
+AviationPro Hey bro, does the IFLY747-400 work for fsx steam edition in 2016?
Very good vid, now me as piston engine flyer knows how the big bird with turbines works.
+Palominostudio Haha, good to hear! :) Thanks for watching!
The way the fuel system works during preflight is that the pilot checking the overhead panel (usually the FO) will ensure that all X-Feeds are OPEN and all Fuel Pump switches are OFF. During the Before Start procedure, the FO will turn all Fuel Pumps ON for the tanks containing usable fuel. So, if there is no fuel in the STAB and CTR tank, he would not turn these on. If the fuel in 2 is less than or equal to 1 or the fuel in tank 3 is less than or equal to tank 4, then you will see the TANK TO ENGINE message after turning the fuel pump switches, including the Overrides ON. At this point, we would check the Fuel Synoptic to verify it is truly tank to engine and then configure for tank to engine, which would be turning OFF Overrides 2 and 3 FWD and AFT fuel pumps, and closing X-Feeds 1 and 4. You had some question on this, so hopefully this clarifies it. Most of the time, there will be fuel in the Center Tank on the freighter and/or fuel in the Center and Stab tanks on a passenger jet since this jet is normally not doing short distance flights. But, on a ferry flight or some Asian carriers operate some short flights like between Taipei and Hong Kong, you may well have a light fuel load.
Very good, Sir. Thanks for explaining and for your intelligible pronunciation (I am Czech).
You're welcome! :)
Another great video man, keep up the good work. I love your videos!!!
Thank you very much! I learned the procedure for the IFly 737 already from you and as I am planning to get the 747 for my first participation at CTP 2015, I am even happier that I can learn it from you as well. Thank you very much keep it on ;)
Marco Hölscher I'm glad to hear that, you're welcome! :)

Good video for newbies like me
+徐喆 Thanks! :)
SSFT has excellent training vids on 747-4, -8 fuel system as well as other systems. He’s a Captain and instructor on 747-4, -8 I’m pretty sure
Excellent tutorial for the ifly. Awesome job.
Thanks! :)
Could you make a video about the same thing, but for the Project Opensky B747-400 model or just the default FSX B747?
Unfortunately, Aerofly FS 2 does not support engine shut down or start up. But if someday it does, this is a great tutorial video!
I usually use active camera to look around the cockpit easily
You're turning on too many systems prior to establishing external or APU power. You'll wear down the battery too fast that way. Also you should disconnect External power from Ground prior to start (Start is usually done during pushback on APU power)
tf51d Yes I guess you mean the utility switches, actually they should have been turned on after external power was connected. As for the engine start, yes, normally ground power is disconnected and you use the APU to start the engines during pushback. Sometimes engines are started at the gate in case external air is needed due to an APU failure or problem, in that case ground power would still be connected as well.
Make a video on how to use the FMS thanks!
Very nice video!
I figure a few more times at watching this I can fly lol...Thanks for the informative video.
You're welcome :)
Great tutorial! I'm still torn between choosing the iFly or the PMDG although each have their advantages. I'm looking forward to your future videos! :)
Thanks! Well, let's see what the pmdg 747 V2 brings, only then we can make a proper comparison ;) For now the iFly 747-400V2 is the best bet in my opinion, since the current pmdg 747 is pretty old already.
Why didn’t Transat flight 236 get a fuel loss alarm when pilot forgot to turn off the cross feed?
Thank you very much.☺☺
Thank you 🎊
Very well explained and informational video thank u i really liked that it was just the systems involved in the startup and not the fmc to much because the fmc is a different world to understand . But is there any chance of u doing videos of the airbus a330
Fire control system check before start?
Very detailed tutorial liked it a lot
Thank you! :)
Thanks, good job. I do not know why the ground service to external energy doesn t appear. The parking break is on. Any idea?
How do you use the fire extinguisher? I can’t find it anywhere
Thank you very much !!
Thanks for watching!
Is there a way the 747 will be in cold and dark mode as you start the SIM?
thank you for learning me 2 fly this buty ( qeen of sky) sorry poor english
+Andreas Damhaug You're welcome! She sure is ;)
This guy: Let's take a look
Awesome tutorial though
Thanks! I'll be able to do my RFEs correctly!
+DiDithePilot You're welcome! :)
I have am running the PMDG 747 on Prepar3D V5 and I cannot assign any of the axis for reverse thrust and speed brake. Any tips. Personally, I prefer X-Plane, as much easier and am really a bit pissed off at myself for spending all that money because I cannot get my throttle and throttle quadrant running on P3D. But. nevertheless, great video and too bad I can't get it running.
First time Flightgear i ran the Cesna off the runway, second time i actually got it to fly a good bit; the hell with it, i wanna fly a 747 and ... DAMN.
What does it mean if an engine only powers to 2.6 or 2.7 N1? I have refueled all fuel tanks and have all fuel pumps active, and APU running, but an engine shows an orange outline on the fuel status display and does not want to power up fully.. ? Is this a bug in FS2020 or is there something I should be doing to address this ?
Nice work Thanks, from an Ex-Controller.
+sundevilification You're welcome! :)
5:20 - You definitely do not want to turn on those guarded switches - those are for fuel jettison only and that is why they are guarded. You also do not need to crossfeed unless the inboard L/R tanks have more fuel than the outboard L/R, this is to ensure balance between each side and that engines #1 and #4 do not get fed empty tanks when the inboard tanks still have fuel.
again at 10:35, the OVRD fuel pumps are not required - with the jettison feeds on you are now spraying fuel all over the tarmac :P
Thanks for the info! But the jettison feeds are not on, so I guess fuel will not be flowing all over the tarmac :P
Well, all you have to do is turn fuel pump 1, 2, 3 and 4 on xfeed 1 and 4 if you have less than 50KGs x1000 of fuel, turn then all except the stabs when you have more than 59l0 KGs of fuel
At 0:46. How did you open the battery cover? I tried left click as well as right click. Nothing worked. Thus, I could never power up my plane.
I love flight sim games
Awesome video, thanks a lot!!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! :)
Thank you ! Excited to see more 747 vids !
Thanks, I'm sure more will follow! :)
Great video
I have a question , Why you did not select auto start both?
and we need another video to evaluate the performance
Thank's
Wael Soliman Thanks! I think I actually completely forgot that switch and I'm not sure what it does, but apparently it works irregardless. And about that video, what do you mean exactly? About how it performs on the framerates?
AviationPro No I don't mean the framerates but I mean how is the realistic in climb , descend and landing phases?
I think very realistic, although I still need to test it more by making more flights myself ;)
Amazing video so helpful please do a video on FMC setup using company routes :)
+BBoyJD10 Thanks, you're welcome! :) I'll see what I can do, but no promises ;)
Alweer een prima video, ik heb alleen een vraag: is er een kans dat u een video upload met een vlucht in de erj 135/145?Dat vind ik persoonlijk een heel tof vliegtuig, en het vereist een beetje andere skills omdat je geen VNAV hebt en geen auto throttle.
Tim Hoppe Thanks! Klopt, het is een vliegtuig waar ik ook graag in vlieg, juist omdat je zelf echt wat meer moet vliegen in plaats van alleen maar autopilot, dus misschien ga ik hem wel gebruiken voor de volgende VATSIM video. Eerst nog eentje met een 737 binnenkort ;)
What keyboard commands bring up the FMC and MCP (mode control panel)? What program are you flying in? Xplane, FSX....
X.cellnt training I lv it tnx bro
I love these startup videos! Any plans to do the 747-8 anytime soon?
@Otto Suhonen No live streams planned for a while, maybe somewhere in June or July!
Hi
I have a flight simulator steam edition, but I don't have any buttons on it :(
Why is that ?
Graphics r great
thanks
You're welcome!
My crts don't seem to start. Nor my FMC. Please help.
Is there a mod that can be used to activate these?
How did u get it in cold and dark state??
Hola a todos. Acabo de comprar el add-on 747-400 para flight simulator X, pero no puedo arrancar en modo cold & dark. ¿Me pueden ayudar?. Gracias
hey AviationPro ik heb een paar vraagjes/ opmerkingen
1. gebruik jij ENB? zo ja welke gebruik jij?
2. welke addons vind jij je flightsimulator echter lijken qua texture van ground en plane?
3. nice vid!
1, nee! 2, plane verschilt per plane addon natuurlijk, maar in het algemeen geven Real Environment Xtreme en Ultimate Terrain de beste resultaten. 3, thanks! :D
Congratulations greate tutorial.
+Saúl Pérez Díaz Thank you! :)
Dankjewel! :D
:)
Thank you for this super video!
You're welcome! :)
I have a quick question about my system specs and this aircraft. I was looking for a good 747 for FS2004 and this looks very superior to the PMDG 747. I was looking into getting it but see it requires some things I don't have, but I am able to run other products at 30-40 frames that require 3+ GHZ such as the Captain Sim 757-200. My specs are below:
OS: Windows 7 64x
Processor: Intel Core i5-2520M CPU @ 2.5 GHz
Ram: 8GB
Video Card (Heres where it comes down to.): Radeon HD 6470M
Nice vid
MRMODDING4EVER MODDZ That's quick, thanks! :D
Thanks.
Thanks for your help!! :)
sumthin3789 You're welcome! :)
20% N2 before introducing fuel
Michael Quinn The 747 has an autostart switch I believe, which he presses during the video. This allows computers to automatically introduce fuel into the system just as long as the fuel switches are turned on
Hey Mate, its wonderful... But i have one prob. Everything in my flight works fine, until i takeoff. After takeoff, i receive following warning on ECAM..
1. Auto-throttle Disc(Though mt A/T is armed)
2.Bleed Air 2 off,
3.Bleed Air 3 off,
And gradually hell lots of such warnings. Fuel flow to ENG will stop, and my flight will stall... Any suggestions?
MrPrateekpanda Thanks! You probably disconnected the autothrottle, it can be armed but still disconnected. And bleed air means you have not set the air conditioning properly. And all the other stuff, well, I don't know, it could also be a faulty installation of course!
AviationPro Thank you so much....
hey may i know which simulation game is this
No fire test on APU or engines before start?
What fmc is that u are using?
every time i press the ground power button thesim freezes and crash. Please help!
you will not do a fire test?
Which flight is this?
Very interesting, But where do you stick in the Ignition key? LOL
+Ray Louis Airplanes don't have keys! :P
Excellent Video, Thank You! BTW....does the iFly B747-400 come equipped with the Boeing-Honeywell Uninterruptible Autopilot? TNX Again!
Lucien Harbuck Thanks! I have no idea about that, I have never seen that system mentioned anywhere at iFly and I'm not even sure what it exactly is. ;)
You forgot to disconnect the External Power 😅 but great video :)
I don't have all the buttons in the cockpit avaliable to me. Is there some setting i need to change or do you use another version of x-plane than the home-use version?
+FilmpowerNorway I'm not sure what you are talking about. This is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 with the iFly 747-400 V2 addon installed. This has nothing to do with X-plane ;)
Thank you very much for your tutorial!
You're welcome! :)
It really helped me a lot! :-)
But do you know how I can increase the FPS rate? It´s very low (about 20) in FS9, with nearly all the other aircrafts I have about 60.
What are your specs?
Windows7 Pro. 64bit
CPU: i5-4460, 3,20GHz
RAM: 8GB
Graphics card?
APU gets fuel from tank 2 not both 2&3
Where can I buy this with sales?
How I configure the stab , while in crz altitude the nose is very raised?
+Nicolas Navarrete That shouldn't be happening. It is raised for about 3 degrees, but not a lot. Are you sure you are not flying too high for your weight?
