[MSFS] Boeing 787-10 Approach, ILS & Landing Tutorial｜Drawyah

In this video we take a closer look at the latter stages of flight as I teach you how to land the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner in Microsoft Flight Simulator. We cover the top of descent without using VNAV, FMS setup, managing your speed and touching down the aircraft in the correct location.

Hi Drawyah, thanks for the awesome tutorial. There are some things that I learned flying the 787, and your feedback on some of this is appreciated:

1. I find setting the IFR flight plan from the world map is easier to find the active runway for both departure and arrival. So I usually set my arrival pattern and the ILS approach depending on the active runway. Once it's loaded in, the FMC should have all the necessary waypoints to do the approach. But I do understand that in the real world, the ATC would only give you the approach pattern when you're starting the descent and not during departure. So your tutorial to enter them to the FMC is something new that I learned from you. Thanks.

2. I find the VNAV to be inaccurate, and my descent altitude is largely depending on the ATC. Whichever altitude they assign me, that's where I set my altitude hold and V/S mode.

3. When you're about to line up for the localiser, you can push the APP button practically anytime as you begin your approach. So even if you're currently still on LNAV with V/S or ALT mode, LOC and G/S mode will be armed as white text below each of those roll and pitch modes in the PFD. So you don't need to wait until the localiser and glide slope to line up to push the LOC or APP. Pushing the APP button once will arm those modes on stand-by and will automatically activate both LOC and G/S mode whever the aircraft intercepts the localiser and the glideslope.

4. My final approach speed is usually within those zones with the yellow/brown line right above the stall zone. It automatically adjust the airspeed zone depending on the weather and your current payload. So I keep them on those zones, and I'll be in for a smooth landing.

5. Am I the only one who uses the HUD at all times? I find using the HUD is easier on landing because I can zoom in a little to keep and eye on the runway, while having the PFD being mirrored on the HUD so I can look at both the runway and keeping my airspeed in the right zone as I land.


6. When cleared to land, the aircraft will have Rollout mode and Flare mode armed under the LOC and G/S respectively, so I tend to keep my A/P on and let the aircraft flare itself on touchdown. The only thing I turn off is the A/T to keep my airspeed within the yellow/brown zone.

Watched the video yesterday, made my first flight and landing in an airliner today (LGAV-LIRF). Not a huge flight but for a big newbie like me it was awesome. Downloaded MFS 4 days ago and no prior experience with any sim, but I have read A LOT about airplanes in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!

[MikeJw-jexk]

Thanks for the great video. Thanks to you my first airliner landing in 7 years was very smooth and a success! Thanks also to several commenters.

[sebastianschmidt]

very good video i just watch it and i understood everything thank you

[JamesGoodwin]

Bout to fly on an 787 in real life thought this would be a great video to learn while flying

[markskicalgary]

Great tutorial, I'm just getting into MSFS2020 and this was very helpful, the Dreamliner is fantastic!!

[fodr]

Hello from s.korea and watched this video good tutorial thx

[fnflores]

Thanks! brilliant tutorial, I have tried several landings with this plane using my previous knowledge of other FS and I failed, your procedure works!

[charlieqt]

Hi Drawyah. Thank you for the video. Although, I didn't understand a word you said; but I managed to land the B787 successfully by following you points & clicks. Much appreciated :)

[Ronintjuh]

Even tho i already know most of this planet i still watxh this because i learn new stuff everytime inwatxh this, thans man!

[patricks_music]

I watched this while 300nm out from Iceland on my way over from JFK. Thanks for the tutorial!

[Babukullivasara]

Thankyou for the tutorial and showing my house!

[chimo]

Nice descriptive video. Helped a lot. Thank you

[cityzens]

Been waiting for this since you mentioned it in yesterday's Stream... Don't have MFS2020 but soon will get it and fly...Thanks Drawyah

[ALLpurpose]

Great tutorial very informative and it was a very smooth landing but straight onto the nose gear, no flare at all he landed with like a -1 pitch angle

[Clovenbulb]

Thank you my man. Has improved my landing ten fold in this.

I’ve been trying to land a 787 using autopilot for three days now. I got it all figured out on my own except I couldn’t figure out how to catch the glide slope. Time after time I would be perfectly lined up with localizer A/P taking me right down the runway, only to fly right over it at a constant altitude. I could still land by disengaging A/P but then had a hairy touch and go because I realized I wasn’t slowing down despite max braking. Based on your video it looks like my mistakes were not switching from LOC to APPR and not disengaging autothrottle. I can’t wait to try out what I’ve learned here and see if it works. Thank you!

[rydoggsc]

Excellent videos. You have really helped make my introduction into flight sims be a fun and productive one. Infinite thanks to you!

[michelebucci]

Ah the good old days when the 787 could pitch before landing

[andyrobson]

Thank you for this, great tutorial. Much appreciated.
