Getting a BAD rap?As for me it's been great. I read the PMDG manual's basically twice-(and continue to clarify or get answers), plus an additional Boeing manual read for another add-on 777.I know how to fly.
Have used sims since mid 90's, from cessna 172 training to this top of the market for it's class and virtually all add-ons with exception maybe to A2A which I've not tried, other than that un-matched.I've understood basic VOR concepts since very early on training and 2-D sim's with dial up VOR and fix/waypoint navigation.Like I mention above read all, flown PMDG for a year now, fly VATSIM etc, know my stuff IMHO, however, within 1st couple lessons, I learned something not caught in reading. Little things that slip past. You begin to get in the sim and sit down with a new perspective on what you see.Why are the overhead lights orange/blue/red/green, why when, how come, on and on.what's a PACK anyway?, when you start with ground air what do you do with the PACK setup, conversely APU start?, bleed air?, gad just started and learning on top of what I know already.haven't got half way thru groundwork videos yet!-(been 2 weeks or less)- so as of now.thumbs up!You got it to fly the best-(PMDG). Hey all,I'm glad the majority of you are finding the training useful. Producing a course of that size at the time was very difficult to do. Both our 737 and 777 courses are quite in depth and offer a one-stop-shop for most of the knowledge you'll need flying the aircraft.Of course, you can go out and try and get what you want from Youtube. There is some pretty good stuff out there- even I admit it.
That torrent is just under-seeded. I'm from France, and I download my torrents with Bittorent, I downloaded from The Pirate Bay the Angle Off Attack 737 NGX full courses, my receiving was between 200 and 500 ko/s till approwimately 60%, it's now between 0 and 50 ko.s maximum, I don't understand the problem. The 777 is a large bird, and it takes a serious landing gear, brakes and ground handling system to assist it on the ground. In this lesson you will be pleasantly surprised with how much more the Landing Gear & Brakes does than you expected.
That said, it's not all-in-one place, and not all of it is professionally produced. In other words, to be able to find everything is one spot, and not have to keep searching around, is one of the highest values of these packages.Also, you're learning from actual pilots when you're consuming our content- not flight simmers who got their knowledge from someone else. Too often I've found that Youtubers are good at some things, but leave me baffled at others.BTW, Jason Sokoloff of AOA has been continually producing content for the 737 for a few years now.
737 LineWork has over 55 episodes now, packed full over very, very advanced techniques. We're talking hundreds of hours of additional content here.
If you haven't checked it out, it's worth doing so! He regularly releases updates to that course.If you guys have an additional questions, feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] and I'd like to answer any questions you may have.We know that with some effort and focus, using our courses can transform the way you fly simulated airliners.Throttle On! I took the course and I found really good.Alberto I think that MCP and AFDS are handled in every flight and soon enough I got the grasp of it, just my experience.Hello Robson, and hello to Chris, operation of the AFDS covers many,many,many pages of the manual. A whole video, or two, would have been needed to cover a partial part of all the different climbs and descent modes for example, and the SOPs at different stages of flight. Let´s just say that learning to operate the AFDS by the book was done outside of AoA, but again this is a whole different animal.That being said, I have a friend whom I have just directed to buy the ngx-he was delighted with my sim and is an enthusiast himself-and of course I directed him to AoA training also. I will also guide him on how to use the AFDS like I did.

Aero 12 - Angle of AttackSince the early daysof flight, angle of attack (AOA) has been a key aeronautical-engineeringparameter and is fundamental to understanding many aspects of airplaneperformance, stability, and control. Virtually any book on thesesubjects, as well as basic texts and instructional material writtenfor flight crews, defines AOA and discusses its many attributes.AOA can be used for manyindications on the flight deck to improve flight crew awarenessof airplane state relative to performance limits.
