Realistic Flying | The basics (Aeronautica Tutorial Ep.1)

Realistic Flying is a new series that covers the principles of realistic flying in Aeronautica.

Today we cover the basics of…
• Understanding Your Aircraft
• Creating a Pre-Departure Checklist
• Choosing the Appropriate Runway
• Climb Procedures
• Decent Procedures
• Approach And Landing

More in depth videos are to come about these topics.

Thank you!

Hey Sped where did u find the charts like Fiskar

[WiIko]

When descending, you can also use the 3 degree "technique" :
1. You take your altitude and multiply it by 3
2. You divide your result by 1000, that's your distance from when you should start your descent (so if my altitude is 33.000 feets I should have a descent when I'm 99NM from my destination)
4. Take your speed and multiply it by 5 (or multiply it by 10 and divide by 2) (so for example if my speed is 200knt I will have a descent rate of 1000 ft/min)
5. You have your descent rate in ft/mins. To have it in ft/s, just divide by 60
I will excuse myself in advance for my english that can be sometimes not perfect as it's not my main language

The range on the stat is sea level performance, with the 747-400F you can easily fly 350+nm if you go higher then 30k feet

How i think:

When taxiing, i prefer (in msfs) going on
-taxiways near the apron - 5-8gs
-taxiways not near the apron - 8-10gs
-taxiways paralell to rw - 20gs
-backtracking rw - 20-30gs
(its just my opinion, configurated for clear weather, in thunderstorms, rains you can change it)

Turn the landing light on rwy, sometimes airlines change it.

Mostly you should stop on the runway, configurate the aircraft, takeoff briefing. But on airports with dense traffic sometimes "rolling takeoff's" are performed - You do all of those things on taxiway and do like in video.

The vs isn't set to some value, just like you prefer, also the end, whenever you want. (If ur flying big aircrafts sped i prefer to change the vs in settings to fpm, its the value in real commercial aircrafts)

No need to maintain the cruising alt so close, 50ft offset doesnt change anything

When you flown downwind at the destination airport, in IFR you should be way highier, around 7000ft, again every airport customizes it, has its stars

5:18 the height you are (1100ft) is very critical, im pretty sure that GPWS would start reacting with pull up

The gears should be retracted around 3 nm at final to be prepared how the aircraft behaves at landing, also you did a very short final as for ILS

5:48 The retard speed is random, no set value when

While landing try to maintain the centerline, when in crosswind, stop doing the crab position (the drift) around at flare, so 10ft. Also try to land at the touchdown zone (the white markings on the sides

[РобертГареев-мж]

When descending, you should reduce speed to yellow, but nose should be pointing forward. That's how real aircraft descend.

Hey Sped, I think you should upload plane spotting videos more often since there are also custom liveries now. Love your videos! (I think they will also get a decent amount of views)

[jznsnb]

This video alone just earned yourself a new subscriber! Thanks man and amazing video!

[timless._tae]

For takeoff, I like to hold shift the. Hold H as it slows down the speed you rotate at
To make the takeoff smoother

[captainalex]

In Aeronautica, headwind will actually increase your from stall speed and prevent you from taking off early compared to a tailwind takeoff

[mas]

1:14
"kaboom you crashed"
2:14 you can also hold shift too

[carspots_qa]

Hey! Great video! But next time for cruising, hold "=" it automatically levels off so you don't have to worry about using the mouse! New sub mate!

[Kotanica]

You don't have to enable toga at takeoff. Realisticly, most of the time planes takeoff at 80% throttle. It's only if there is in coming traffic, or if there is a problem with the aircraft. :)

[spacedweller]

range is doubled when at cruise altitude. if the plane has a 150NM range consider it to be 250NM of range.

[tomatosoupwoo]

Multi crimes noticed!!!
Greater than 250 knots below 10k
Nav lights should be on if your at gate
Used feet per second rather than ft/m

[RxngerRxptor]

This is a very good videos for beginners and I exactly used the method ty man

[tomer.aviation]

upon departure, I usually set a few vectors for me to hit on my way to the target and descent 60nm out, and intercept the yellow ILS line thingy on the radar at around 5000ft.

[LaFox]

You generally don’t want to descend faster than 3000 ft/min (50 ft/s) and ascend faster than 3600 ft/min (60 ft/s).

[gravcomp-MCR]

the way that youtube thinks this is microsoft flight simulator is amazing

[Ryan-osef]

Hey dude! Love the video it really helped! Could you tell me how you made the course lines on the radar/map? It would really help! Thanks!

[YYZ_planespotter]

Technically you can go farther than the range if you cruise at a very high altitude it saves a lot of fuel and lets you go farther
