736279662 the problem with multiple flights and simbrief is due to using the wrong path in the simbrief downloader. There are two paths that will work,...

I was just going to ask if you were the artist also known as Electron Volt and then read your sig 😀. Love all your add-ons, you've done great stuff...

[Stearmandriver]

Earlier versions of 737s, if you moved the flap handle beyond 10 before all three gear were down and locked (green indications) you'd get the config warning....

There's nothing wrong with a flaps 1 takeoff; they're pretty common.

This is simply the PMDG mishandling its old Implementation of modern...

[Stearmandriver]

This is a simmer-ism. No one in reality is flaring an airplane by looking at pitch scale. There are so many variables that can affect this: load, CG,...

[Stearmandriver]

Right, so... again, that fuel shouldn't be in the center tank.

[Stearmandriver]

There's no need to use any auto brakes at all; remember, they are optional, at pilot's discretion. When you pull landing data for a given auto brakes...

[Stearmandriver]

Yes, that is the limitation, in the event of a fueling error. But the question is, in a properly functioning pressure refueling system, whether that...

[Stearmandriver]

Someone pointed this out before. The fact that it was modeled to resemble a popular YouTuber that guys like to drool over (granted, she plays to that...

[Stearmandriver]

I can't speak to the 75, but it's definitely not normal (or acceptable) in the 73. That would be a pressure refueling system writeup right there. In...

[Stearmandriver]

There's 100% a misunderstanding here then; the airplane is probably doing what it's supposed to, just not what you expect. Screenshots for a specific...

It's not the rate of climb or the pitch attitude that loads the wing. It's the rate of pitch change. Pop the yoke back suddenly, even briefly, and you...

[Stearmandriver]

I know you say that you have the altitude set correctly in the FMC with no restrictions, but here's the thing: if you can make the airplane do what you...

Easy answer to "when do I need to trim?" is, when you need to.

Don't overthink it, just trim as necessary to remove the need...

[Stearmandriver]

The moving amber band is a bug. I don't actually know if the Airspeed Low call is tied to the amber band itself, or separately tied to a dynamically...

[Stearmandriver]

I'm willing to bet you're climbing in Vertical Speed mode, trying to adjust your V/S to maintain a given speed, and you're not realizing that the autothrottles...

[Stearmandriver]

An aircraft can be stalled at any airspeed, in any attitude, at any power setting. That's the opening sentence of any basic aerobatics, spin, or UPRT...

What Victor said.

Now, it's true in the real plane that the pitch guidance is not used for rotation or initial climb pitch (the HGS does...

[Stearmandriver]

My sense is that it's not really a flight model issue, it's just the PMDG flight director behavior. I've pretty well given up on even worrying about...

[Stearmandriver]

The amount of excess fuel on landing is irrelevant. All that matters is that you're below max landing weight - and even then, that's not important from...
