PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Tutorial 13: Approach

Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. Here is my next video in the 737 tutorial series.
In this tutorial we will commence our approach into Dublin.
I'll cover the ten checks, discuss some energy management techniques, show your the FRISC check, capture the ILS and follow Localizer and Glideslope. We will finish this tutorial just prior to the landing gate as the landing deserves its own practical and theoretical videos.
The video has been taken using a pre-release beta version of the product, so you can expect to see some issues that will be fixed before release. There's no need to point those out as the team will be aware and working on them already. For example the trim sound is not yet implemented.

These tutorials are not designed as absolute beginner tutorials. It is expected that the viewer already has basic experience with airliners and knows the basics how to operate an aircraft.
Instead these tutorials will focus on the 737NG as an aircraft and the particularities of how to operate it.

I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional YouTuber or Streamer quite yet and these videos are my very first that actually get more than a hundret clicks. I have never before created such content so bear with me for doing beginner mistakes.
I record straight from the sim without any fancy stuff going on in the background.

I feel like I'm watching something that I should pay for 😅 Extremely well done course of the plane!

[tyrk]

this plane is so beautiful, and your videos are going to be a massive help. can't wait to get my hands on it!

[Nufsed]

An absolutely fantastic series of video's! I really felt as though I was sitting next to you on the flight deck. Thank you.

[CMDRRustyDog]

Learnt a few things from this one, thank you.

[ehameham]

Very helpful! Thanks you. It really helps in my MFSF experience, just switching from the fenix a320 to the Pmdg 737

[SoupGuyy]

Bad news I’ve broke both my arms and have to wait 6 weeks to recover I will be watching you tho and thanks for the video’s

[clayton]

can't believe how smooth this is in VR

[Altenholz]

Honestly?Very impressing so far, real great aircraft!

[bobflimmer]

Thanks you so much for these tutorials! I am training to be a pilot and hoping one day I get to actually fly a real 737-700 NG. Anyways, thanks for all your help and for being so thorough. Howdy from Texas!

Why do you change the heading, when the aircraft follows the flight plan anyway?

[stacyhill]

How do you do a quuck airport turnaround to depart again? I shutoff engine added ground power but engines wiukdnt restart later possibly low psi maybe not sure but whats proper steps

[manic_miner]

What could I be doing wrong in the sim that @10:42 I don't see the IAS / MACH speed appear on the MCP?

[rpitojy]

How do you setup the radios for an ILS approach where a DME transmitting on a separate frequency is required? E.g. runway 05, or 23 in Hamburg, where ALF DME is required. Thanks!

[pawswi]

Hello CPT, what do you mean by review the terrain on ND in 11:36, "We review the terrain in our minds"?

[arminshG]

How do i find the minimums of any airport withaut simbrief, IS there any web or app for android for the minimums?

[bertrandfraser]

My aircraft have very different configuration and it is impossible to do on this video, B737-700 aren not the same of this one....

[xnvmujt]

How would the aircraft operate if I had only one ILS frequency being regulated. I find that it can still capture ILS signals, so can it still be able to land automatically?

[Alphanorway]

Hi again. just to follow up on my latest comment on the distance not showing up on the nav display, where you said it was a bug in P3D. So in this video (11:10) you have the distance to the DME, on both the VOR 1 and 2, so I dont understand. Is it because this ILS has an DME as well?

[Ronald]

Thanks for the great video (again)! Could you perhaps do a video on a steep approach (>3 degrees)? I would assume you need the speed brake to slow down then, but it will be important to have the speed under control before capturing the glide slope?

Hello, can you please tell me how to connect to the simulator online.
In simulator or fsx, of course, I can't connect to the servers without purchase🙏
