B737 Emergency Landing Video

Postby logjam » Mon Feb 15, 2016 12:03 am

Just watched the video on this DM report. The Pilot used FSX to show how a passenger could land a 737 if the crew became incapacitated. Very good screen vids. I just wonder which FSX 737 he used.

Wow! Amazing!
But you'll need FSX PMDG 737 NGX as well as this....http://www.aerosoft.com.au/aerosoft_australia/home.html to master the basics!

And then go ahead with a full tutorial as the PMDG's 737 is fully functional - as real as it gets!

Thanks, logjam. Watched it all the way through.


This may just be me, but I would think that for most incompetent passengers, unlike us, the first step would be to get as many free drinks as possible.

After all, the pilots may know that the plane is impossible to land, and they decided to get drunk too.

Also, it's a pretty sure bet that this may be your last chance to get drunk.


Other that that, thanks again.

Hi Guys,

Not bad video on the startup and taxi, he just didn't turn off the A hydraulics systems, pushback tug driver would not start aircraft moving without that being off, ground crew have been killed before now when hydraulics have been left on.
The IRS alignment is much too fast compared to real time, in that sim it can prob can be set to be quick.
You wouldn't enter 146 in the AT IAS setting, you would add a margin such as +20knts.
He's said apu bleed to be ON, that's wrong it should be off for apu start otherwise a hot start error could occur plus you would do the fire sensor/alarm checks before starting the apu and do them again after apu start to check wheel well alarm, you would also have the engine bleed off otherwise fuel fumes can enter the aircraft, he'd also not turned on the ground power tho had requested it.
Before starting engines and moving flaps you would push throttle levers fully forward, this should give you a config error horn. ( somewhere on the internet there are pictures of an airbus where the crew tripped the power to the alarm, unfortunately it also shut off the brakes, they were at full power at the time and no flaps, the alarm was annoying them but it's there for a reason - it broke the airbus has it went through a concrete barrier and dropped some 15 - 20 ft, snapped the fuss)
In the video he prob had some spoiler deployed, You don't arm the spoiler/speed brake, you set RTO.

But overall a good guide and I wish my system was that smooth.
Am I nit picking? - yes :)

regards

Steve
May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

Just noticed other mistakes as I've watched the rest of the video, you would need to check for altitude restrictions on the decent, height is set when just over 5 miles from the waypoint where it gives you altitude change, if you miss the change, still adjust the height but double press vnav, at this point you may need the inflight spoiler as you now have a steeper decent than planned, you cannot autoland on one autopilot, both need to be on with radios set as he did.

The 737NG I use is also used by a few airlines but on P3D
