MSFS | TUTORIAL: PMDG Boeing 777 with a Real World 777 Pilot | Full Flight Lesson | Heathrow to SFO

Video Description

Learn how to fly the PMDG 777-300ER for MSFS along with me in this full flight lesson with a real world 777 pilot! We take you through everything you need to know to fly almost any flight realistically, from setting the aircraft up from cold and dark to shutting it down at the other end. This tutorial has something for everyone - it's simple enough for beginner flight simmers and detailed enough that even the most seasoned flight simmer will learn something new. Unlike previous tutorials in the series, we also cover certain non-normal procedures and flows, making this the most detailed tutorial I've produced to date! If you'd like to fly along as you watch, see below for links to the flight plan and the sceneries we used. There are also bookmarks to allow you to jump to a particular section, although I do recommend you watch the whole thing before jumping about so as not to miss anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Donate: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/filbertflies Follow me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.com/filbertflies Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/hNA9ANn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SimBrief Flight Plan: https://bit.ly/3KXfVfC PDF Flight Plan: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YEB9R-uL9ySzz47QAJuxWr9FQ7Pjn9WZ/view?usp=sharing Navigraph Charts: https://www.navigraph.com GSX: https://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_gsxpro.html London Heathrow Scenery: https://inibuilds.com/products/inibuilds-london-heathrow-egll-msfs San Francisco Scenery: https://shop.flightbeam.net/products/flightbeam-ksfo-captains-edition-msfs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRE-DEPARTURE 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:04 - Establishing electrical power 00:08:55 - Exterior view & 777 statistics 00:12:52 - Brake & tyre wear, landing gear truck functionality 00:22:40 - Initial setup and SimBrief route import 00:29:30 - Performance data and FMC setup 00:44:35 - Display select panel, MFD usage & synoptic pages 00:52:35 - Overhead panel setup & hydraulics explanation 01:04:55 - EFIS & MCP setup 01:07:40 - Main panel & pedestal flows & setup 01:11:45 - Electronic checklist system & preflight checklist 01:17:52 - Takeoff performance calculations 01:28:35 - Final pre-departure preparation 01:38:50 - Before start checklist PUSHBACK, ENGINE START & TAXI OUT 01:42:20 - Pushback 01:47:10 - Engine start, after start actions & checklist 01:56:30 - Taxi out with takeoff & climb advice 02:02:00 - VNAV climb discussion TAKEOFF, CLIMB, CRUISE & NON-NORMAL PROCEDURES 02:06:48 - Takeoff 02:11:00 - Initial climb, VNAV mode demonstration 02:17:03 - 10,000 foot flow 02:21:10 - After takeoff checklist 02:22:00 - Clock/chrono usage 02:24:30 - PMDG auto cruise options 02:29:28 - Step climbs explanation 02:39:09 - Center tank management 02:40:55 - Non-normal procedures & checklists 02:48:38 - Fuel jettison discussion 02:51:51 - Sim rate vs auto time compression demo 02:54:34 - Auto step climb 02:57:57 - 777 fly-by-wire system vs Airbus fly-by-wire 03:06:09 - Manual step climb DESCENT, APPROACH, LANDING, TAXI IN & SHUTDOWN 03:07:25 - Descent planning & VNAV descent discussion 03:11:28 - Descent 03:13:09 - Descent checklist 03:14:40 - Landing data calculation & FMC setup 03:20:35 - RNAV RNP approach discussion 03:24:20 - Transition level & approach checklist 03:24:45 - Arrival discussion 03:27:40 - Speed intervention 03:30:00 - Overhead panel arrival setup 03:31:00 - Landing technique discussion 03:33:10 - Flight level change mode & final approach discussion 03:37:25 - How to slow down & flap speeds 03:40:16 - Flap extension 03:43:40 - Altitude window usage 03:44:25 - Final approach & landing 03:49:55 - After landing flow & checklist, taxi in 03:58:45 - Shut down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM SPECS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i7 13700k processor 32GB RAM GeForce RTX 3080Ti Thrustmaster T16000.M flight stick Thrustmaster TFRP T.
