737 Training Captain TRE/TRI sharing real world procedures and profiles for the Flight Sim community on YouTube Contact me directly via email!
An avid flight simmer in my youth I'm now a Training Captain/Examiner and Instructor flying the Boeing 737 NG and Max. I have logged over 6500 hours on the 737 and over 1500 sim hours as a TRE/TRI. I have used desktop simulators since 2002 and they're a fantastic tool to supplement flight training. The aim of my YouTube channel, flightdeck2sim, is to provide realistic, informative and useful conte
Ever wondered how 777-300ER pilots navigate tight spots on the tarmac? The Boeing 777-300ER's Ground Maneuvering Camera System provides a live feed of the main landing gear on the lower MFD, helping pilots avoid runway/taxi edges and aiding situation awareness. I tested it out in the 777v2 for , pretty impressive!

Enjoying the recently released FlightFactor 777-300ER v2 Ultimate for X-Plane 12! Our inaugural sector will be a full flight from Denver (KDEN) to Chicago O’Hare (KORD). Link in the comments section below!
Aircraft marshalling involves standardised hand or illuminated wand signals used by ground crew to guide pilots during taxiing, parking, and engine startup, ensuring safety and precision. Key signals include directing turns, accelerating/slowing, normal stops (crossed wands) and cutting engines. If I’m perfectly honest I’m not sure what this command exactly means? I think he might be possibly trying to take off or cool my brakes 🤔
An increase in tailwind shear—often a sudden shift from headwind to tailwind—is an aviation hazard that causes a rapid decrease in indicated airspeed (IAS), reducing lift. This performance-decreasing shear forces the aircraft below the desired glide path. Pilots are trained to immediately apply thrust and adjust the pitch attitude to maintain a safe flight path.
Performance Loss and recognition - The aircraft immediately loses airspeed and lift, leading to a sink rate increase and potential for significant altitude loss.
Approach Danger: Encountering this on short final can result in a landing that is short of the runway, or if the pilot corrects aggressively, hard landing or stall
This is from our last livestream in the Avro RJ where we encountered a brief but quick increase in tailwind which resulted in a loss of airspeed/lift!

Join me LIVE today at 16:00z (17:00 BST) as I swap the 737 for the Just Flight Avro RJ100 and take on some of Colombia’s most challenging and scenic airports! Routing as follows
• Sector 1: SKSM (Santa Marta) → SKMZ (Manizales)
• Sector 2: SKMZ (Manizales) → SKPS (Pato)
Today’s threats - short runways, high terrain and in an aircraft powered by x4 hair driers!
Flying into NVVV on the VOR DME NDB-A RWY 11 approach is a challenge!
Last-minute 90-degree turn, east-facing runway, and morning sun in the mist makes visibility terrible. Full stream now LIVE if you want to see the landing 🫣
Simulator: X-Plane 12
Aircraft: ZIBO MOD 737

Join me LIVE on a two-sector day in the Zibo Mod 737 in X-Plane 12
In this stream, we’ll be flying across the South Pacific, departing from NWWW (Nouméa) and making our way to NVVV (Port Vila) with a return sector.
The highlight will be attempting the demanding VOR DME NDB-A RWY 11 approach into NVVV—an instrument approach that points you towards terrain with a last minute 90-degree turn before touchdown!

Thanks to JustFlight for sending me a copy of the Black Square Caravan Professional, a high-fidelity Cessna 208 Caravan for MSFS 2024. The addon includes.
* Study-level systems with detailed engine, electrical, and failure modelling
* Over 100 possible failures which can be influenced by how you fly
* Customizable avionics (from GPS to full modern setups)
* Multiple variants: passenger, cargo, and amphibian (floats)
* Highly immersive real-world sound recording
Like with all of Black Squares products, it’s a deep simulation experience where proper procedures and engine management have to be applied!

Only 30 mins until we go LIVE in the L1011 again!
Thanks to Teikof Studio for providing scenery for today's stream in Colombia!
Flying the 737 for 15 years, I’m used to modern flight decks… but flying this classic widebody using conventional navigation into a mountainous destination during a busy VATSIM event? This is going to be a heck of an experience!
Routing | Barranquilla (SKBQ) - Cali (SKCL)
Walkaround the iniBuilds Delta L1011 TriStar before our inaugural Live Stream!

Join me LIVE in the iniBuilds L-1011 Tristar!
Didn't want to stream this straight after release, it's a compex aircraft and requires a little bit of practice!
First impressions, overall I do like it. The aircraft on its own has its unique quirks, systems modelling seems satisfactory and it does replicate the golden era of aviation quite nicely!
For our inaugural sector we’re flying Delta, who were the largest operator the L-1011, on the Bahamas service from their hub Atlanta (KATL) to Nassau (MYNN).

I have uploaded a brand new tutorial for you all! I've been experimenting with new editing tools after updating my video editor (Adobe Premiere Elements) which I hope brings a fresh new look to some popular topics, in my latest tutorial we look at the single engine go around in the Boeing 737.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated and if you have suggestions for other tutorials let me know!
