Beautiful New Exotic Airport | Sal - Düsseldorf | TUI 737 Real Ops | Real 737 Pilot

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Hello everyone and welcome to the channel. I'm Emmanuel. I'm a former Boeing 737 pilot and a member of the PMDG 737 tech team. Welcome to our third and last flight of our trip to the Cap Va Islands. And today we are going to do a 6 hour and 10-minute flight back home to Dulov on the Boeing 737800.

[00:00:21]So this one is going to be interesting because number one, we are right at the maximum takeoff weight once again. And number two, and that's probably even more interesting. We are rapidly approaching night curfew over in Dudeldorf. So, let's lose no time and get right into our Boeing 737 to start to prepare her for the flight back home.

[00:00:42]Now, today we are once again going to fly on the uh captain's seat as the first officer have just done the last lack.

[00:00:51]So, let's take a seat over here and get ready. The first thing I am going to do is to start the refueling process though. So let's go right down here to the ground services and order that fuel truck. Now truck should be in position of course. So you can already start pumping up to 19 tons and then we'll decide on what else may be necessary or not thereafter.

[00:01:16]But let's go ahead and download that flight plan now to see what we've actually got. So here we go. S to Dorov.

[00:01:24]And as we can see, we have a little procrasted route like a little bit going left and right, but also avoiding a bit of that jetream that we are facing over here. Now the weather itself as you can see clear on the first part of the flight and on the second part we are facing a jetream over um Spain and then crossing the jetream over co the coast of France over here with that area number one which is severe turbulence up to level 400 marked over here. So yeah, we'll just be uh making our way around all of this. A little bit of weather everywhere, but nothing too shabby. No.

[00:02:06]What about you? Still not attached.

[00:02:08]Okay, here we go. Fuel tuck attached.

[00:02:09]So, let's start the refueling process because that is going to take quite the while. Now, for our airport weather, Sal is absolutely beautiful. Clear skies, 22° off is going to be fine as well, even though it's rather cold. Just one degree overcast clouds, broken clouds throughout the rest of the day. And probably runway 05 may also turn into runway 23. Don't quite know that yet.

[00:02:36]Our alet in Müster is looking quite good. They are getting a little foggy during the night, but 3,000 m patches of fog with a cat 3 runway available. No problem. All right, then. Departing solid 15:15 and it is 1451 right now.

[00:02:52]So, we got 24 minutes to go. We are going to arrive just about half an hour late and 9 minutes prior to airport closure. Now, cruising levels rather low. 360 is going to be the maximum we are going to fly today. And uh well, with all of that in mind, let's have a look into our fuel. So, 19.5 uh 19.3 is the minimum plus taxi 19.5.

[00:03:22]And that gets us right at the maximum takeoff weight. If you have a look here, 7933 is maximum. 79304 is plum. So if we round that fuel up, we are right there at the kilo. So 19500 it is like this.

[00:03:40]Okay, lovely. That's all we can do about our uh payload. So let's go ahead and start importing our flight plan. And we are going to set that payload from here.

[00:03:52]Select route. Let's start the uplink.

[00:03:55]And then we can also go ahead and request boarding in GSX because the passengers will be coming by bus. At least I think they will. In the real world, they would probably be just be walking over here and into the airplane.

[00:04:08]But unfortunately, we don't have a GSX profile for the scenery at the moment.

[00:04:11]So, they will probably be coming by bus over here, which might take a while to board like 16 or 178. It is.

[00:04:20]Okay. So, all of that in mind, uh, weather radar is off. We don't need to do any of those tests again. So, let's get going with our FMS setup. Here's our route. Let's load that. And while we're doing this, let's go ahead. We are departing from Sal. Our sit is the uh dim one alpha departure. So, that's that one. And yeah, tell you honestly, that's the kind of sit that I do appreciate.

[00:04:46]Straight at right and turn. And then we're there.

[00:04:50]So um Saul departing 01 dinky one alpha arriving dizzled off ILS05 left I guess with the big moo 05 transition activate now let's see alpha Charlie 411 rightand turn to dinky and that's it with an MSA of 2500 that's easy even I can do that cost an x6 reserve fuel is uh at 2.3 zero fuel weight 60 tons flight level 320 is planned initially let's see if we take 19.5 tons of fuel as plan weight then 340 is the optimum so tell you what let's enter 340 down there um average wind component is a headwind of 18 so I'm going to enter 360 at 15 temperature at the top of climb - 41 transition 7,01.

[00:05:58]So acceleration in 1,000 is looking good. 250 below 10,000 is looking good.

[00:06:04]Then we got golf victor alpha charlie with a 25 mile ring like that. And then we're done with our FMC setup.

[00:06:19]So up here everything's set. There is no fuel in the center tank yet. Set set.

[00:06:26]And on the right hand side, let's tune those temperatures up a bit higher. Set final level 3 4 0 at first.

[00:06:38]Field elevation 150 and diss off as well. Right igniter is good down here. Everything is set over here.

[00:06:47]Flight directors are coming on. Initial probably 5,000 like this. Autobreak RTO fuel flow reset. And that's looking fantastic. MFRA,170 like that. Timers can be reset.

[00:07:19]Then let's copy and paste that. Uh, that was wrong. Yep, I just copy and pasteed from the ROM side. So, we got to set that MFRA again. 1070.

[00:07:41]Oh, come on. Here we go. 1170.

[00:07:47]Did I just paste it on the wrong side again? Okay, I need to make a buck report that they invert this mouse wheel function cuz this starts to get annoying.

[00:08:03]1170. This time we do it with a left click. Okay, now it's copy pasteed. So parking brake is and remains set frequencies. Uh we are going to tune that VR active. We are flying from the left seat. So back on a transponder source number one. TAS into above and that's it. Okay, lovely setup completed.

[00:08:25]So let's talk about our IFR clearance and well I am fairly sure that in the real world this airport is not going to have a data link at but let's try nonetheless.

[00:08:46]Okay, probably not working here. That's fine.

[00:08:52]We are just going to keep it that way.

[00:08:54]Okay, then let's see. Atis is on.

[00:09:08]127 decimal six.

[00:09:17]report. Automated weather is currently out of service.

[00:09:23]>> This facility is currently offline.

[00:09:30]>> Okay, that's uh fine.

[00:09:35]>> Why is it >> No, stop that silly default flight simulator. It is. Thank you. All right.

[00:09:43]Well, let's go and call for I have clearance that's on tower.

[00:09:50]How do you pronounce it? Amal tower one niner decimal 7 like that.

[00:09:57]Amil cabal tower to Egypt 97 November.

[00:10:00]No ages request IFR clearance to dissolve.

[00:10:06]All right. Now we also have fuel in center tanks.

[00:10:10]You're >> number one.

[00:10:23]Nina 7 November. Clear to dust off via the dim bravo departure. Then file departure runway 1 niner. Initial climb to flight level 070. Departure 160 decimal for squawk 34 53 to jet 9. November is clear to dim bravo. Departure runway one niner. Climb flight level 70. Departure 126 decimal 4. Score 6453.

[00:10:49]Rome one niner.

[00:10:59]05022.

[00:11:01]No, we are not going off runway one niner. Absolutely not.

[00:11:10]Why is intentions thinking that we will do that?

[00:11:15]I've not filed it. I filed runway 01.

[00:11:18]Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard TU Fly Flight 7168 heading to Dieselorf.

[00:11:25]>> Tojet 97 November is unable to depart runway one niner due to tailwind.

[00:11:31]Request runway 01.

[00:11:33]>> Member of our crew. Thank you for choosing TFly and we wish you a pleasant flight.

[00:11:40]>> November, runway 01 is unavailable.

[00:11:46]>> Okay, thank you very much. I've heard enough. Shutting down. Say intentions.

[00:11:49]We will be flying this one offline.

[00:11:52]Um I'm not going to depart with that tailwind. No way.

[00:11:59]We can tune that squawk anyway. 6 4 53 just so that we got something down there. But there is no way I'm going to do a departure from that runway with like 20 knots of tailwind.

[00:12:12]Okay. Well, then let's go for the departure briefing. So threats for today's departure none.

[00:12:19]We are going from Gulp Victor Alpha Charlie to Ecuador Delta Lima as Tango Form India 97 November and our routing is via Dimi Era November 873 Lima Changga 770 Uki direct GMA direct pup bimbo Ola Chelmuk selos ly as I still don't get why you call a waypoint like that.

[00:12:51]Okay. up November 741.

[00:12:55]November tango sierra tivvis to su upper mike 163 leos charlie tango lima ardm koma tango 859 tango 857 bigmoo and the ground of that one 2638 versus 2587 that's because of the bigmoo transition into dizzled off that is absolutely fine okay time UTC 1501 altimeter 101 16 reading 170. MFRA 1170 flight directors are on minus the master standby instruments set. Lefty takeoff 01 flaps 5 noise ab procedure 2 and engine out straight out to 25 miles.

[00:13:40]Emergencies as briefed taxi is a push back to the right hand side and then standard taxi um via alpha 1 or via bravo alpha 1 foxtrot. We do not need to backtrack. 3,000 m should be sufficient. Our departure is the dim 1 alpha anaf departure straight at right turn MSA 2500 ft. All right. And that's it. Questions on the briefing. No.

[00:14:08]Perfect. Transpar checklist down to PA, please. That's uh GPens 103 removed. Y emperor on fuel. It's actually still refueling.

[00:14:21]So, going to take a little bit longer.

[00:14:23]Okay, then let's stop that checklist.

[00:14:26]Boarding is completed. That's awesome.

[00:14:27]Let's say hello to our guests.

[00:15:12]Ladies and gentlemen, a very good afternoon from the flight. This is your captain speaking. My name is Emanuel and in the name of Tui. Welcome aboard our Boeing 737800 on our flight to Dudov.

[00:15:21]We're expecting a flight time of 6 hours and 10 minutes today due to some very strong headwinds which means that we will unfortunately arrive approximately half an hour late in Dudov. The weather over there at the moment um looking quite good and rude. We are looking at clear conditions until we make it to the European mainland. Over there maybe some light turbulence. Thank you very much for being our guests. Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight with us. And if there is anything we can do for you to make it more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to ask any of our ch cabin crew. Thank you very much for your attention and once again, welcome aboard.

[00:15:57]Okay, so passengers are briefed. Let's see if we already have our final figures despite the uh refueling still in progress.

[00:16:06]No, not really.

[00:16:08]Well, I guess we have the zero fuel weight, so we can make something of it.

[00:16:12]CG is going to be something about 23 24ish. So let's see. Zero fuel weight 60 tons which is exactly as planned. And then performance tool.

[00:16:23]So runway is 01.

[00:16:28]Takeoff weight uh right there at the maximum. So 79300 CG 24. Import the weather. No anti ice please. That's looking good. Calculate maximum 79107. Okay, that's fine.

[00:16:48]Oh, come on. Do I need to go a kilo below that?

[00:16:53]Yes. Okay, full blast 36°.

[00:17:00]So, that's 97.1% N1, which is almost checked. 7 7% difference. Where's that coming from? 22° 22° the APU is on. So, we do have bleed air in the system. That's got to be a bug.

[00:17:18]Oh, what is full blast giving us?

[00:17:23]991.

[00:17:25]Well, we go full power then.

[00:17:31]Okay. Flex 5 CG 23 uh 5.6 six units trim and the speeds 151539.

[00:17:46]So those are all within one knots. So we can take those uh FMC speeds.

[00:17:53]160 is selected and then we're done with that good stuff down here.

[00:18:00]Okay, good. Then um tell you what, let's just read the checklist. We're just waiting for the fuel. So you want to press on fuel to go. Uh fasten belts to go. Window on. Air can compress. Pack auto bleeds on set. Press mode selector auto. Instruments cross check. Auto brake rto. Speed brake down detent.

[00:18:19]Park and brake set. Step cutout switches normal. Radius radar and transponder set standby. Ron trims three and zero.

[00:18:25]Takeoff briefing discussed. PA complete.

[00:18:27]FNC CDU set. N1 and ES box automatic. Uh full 26k speeds 525360. Set. Stop drum 5.7 set performance weight and balance side send phones off EFB airplane modes stowed flatness and cockpit door to go.

[00:18:43]Okay, so far so good. Then we're just waiting for the refueling to complete.

[00:18:47]And in the meantime, we can already tell GSX to prepare the position for push back and departure, please.

[00:18:56]Yeah, you can close all the doors down here. That's all fine.

[00:19:02]And you're not typing anything, my friend.

[00:19:08]So, door management, close all should be closing anyway right now.

[00:19:14]Definitely sounds like it.

[00:19:17]Okay.

[00:19:20]And here we are. So, just waiting for the refueling. Another 1 point something tons. That's about a minute and a half.

[00:19:26]So, that should be easy going. But I tell you what, let's just quickly tell the passengers.

[00:19:46]cockpit.

[00:19:48]Ladies and gentlemen, from flight, your captain once again, we are just refueling the aircraft. This will take a couple more minutes. Once that is done, we will be ready to go and start our engines. Thank you very much for your understanding.

[00:20:04]Okay, so ground equipment is basically all released. We're just waiting for the refueling now, which is almost done. 500 more kilos. That's half a minute.

[00:20:16]Okay. Well, might enjoy the last bits of warm air while it lasts and then we're ready to go.

[00:20:25]And this is about the only situation in which I would actually open a window in an aircraft. Like normally don't really do that because it's usually loud outside for the first officer anywhere with the ground power unit standing next there. But even for the captain, you know, if someone's taxiing in over here, that's just a bit too loud.

[00:20:49]Okay, so fuel is on board 19.5.

[00:20:54]So then we got uh fuel 195 required, 195 on board, six pumps on, and fasten belts on. And that's the checklist pretty much completed.

[00:21:05]So let's get rid of those trucks.

[00:21:08]Door is closing. So flight one is the cockpit door locked, doors closed, passengers seated before start checklist complete.

[00:21:16]Down to the line.

[00:21:19]Okay.

[00:21:22]Twet 97 November request push back and start up.

[00:21:28]So 97 November push and start approved runway 01.

[00:21:32]Dr. Flatic push and start approved runway 01. And the park and brake is now reed.

[00:21:41]Rogers down the push back. Stand by French and start before start checklist below the line. Air compacts off.

[00:21:46]Anti-colision on. Park set. Jump park released. Transponder held off before start checklist complete. Okay, we're 5 minutes before the time. That means we are gaining a little bit of margin for our landing.

[00:22:00]And altitude should be 5,000.

[00:22:04]And just to be 100% sure, we can also put 5,000 down here like that.

[00:22:11]All right.

[00:22:13]So, ground flat, we'll be starting engines in sequence two then one. And we are beginning with the engine number two now. Clear two.

[00:22:21]Engine two start.

[00:22:35]So N2 oil pressure N1.

[00:23:02]Okay, start our cutout. Monitor two starting one and two.

[00:23:21]All pressure and one.

[00:23:32]Okay, flat. The push back is completed.

[00:23:34]Please have parking brakes.

[00:23:37]Parking brakes set.

[00:23:46]Start a cutout. Monitor one. One stable.

[00:24:06]So, flight controls, full up, full down, neutral, full left, full right, neutral, right Full left, full right, neutral. V4 taxi checklist. Generators on, APU off, start switches continuous, probe on, anti off, air conditioning, fax auto, bleeds on, isolation off, auto, flaps five required, five selected, and a green light. Stop trim 5.7 required, set, start lever idle 10, flight controls checked, recall checked before taxi checklist complete.

[00:24:43]FMC message, verify takeoff speeds.

[00:24:48]Yeah, they're verified.

[00:24:52]Um, yeah, deleted the plant fuel. Okay, that's fine.

[00:24:58]Okay, so clear signal received. Ram engine is leaving and she's holding a pin. Beautiful. Then we're clear on the left side. We are clear on the right side.

[00:25:10]Rates released. Config.

[00:25:16]very heavy aircraft.

[00:25:24]Okay, so taxi straight ahead, right, left and then we are at the full length runway 01.

[00:25:41]So, where's the takeoff distances? Here we go.

[00:25:48]But no actual takeoff distance written on there. I just want to know how much extra runway that Foxtrot gives us there. But probably not much.

[00:26:12]Okay. So, we'll turn right. And they're off the left.

[00:26:19]Leaving the apron over here. Bravo Alpha to the full length.

[00:26:32]Still got to say I do like that scenery quite a lot. FSDG have done a superb job on it. And at that point just also thank you to them for giving me that scenery for the purpose of today's flight. That is really appreciated.

[00:26:51]All right. So the left is clear, the right is clear.

[00:27:01]Okay. Before takeoff, check this to the line. Config check. Flaps 55 green light depram 5.7 set takeoff briefing left takeoff runway 01 flaps 5 noise equipment procedure 2 takeoff speeds 15253 160 and that's set and the sit straight ahead right turn out climbing initially 5,000 um emergencies straight at 25 mi climbing 3,000 with an MSA of 2500 any questions or suggestions?

[00:27:33]Nope. All right, then. That's our departure briefing complete. Cabin secured before takeoff checklist complete. Down to the L.

[00:27:44]So, the approach area looks clear. I don't see any traffic.

[00:27:50]Coming crew, prepare for departure before takeoff. Checklist below the line. MCP set transponder. Tara, strobe lights on, landing lights on before takeoff checklist complete.

[00:28:18]All right. Are you happy with the rolling takeoff?

[00:28:21]Then that's what we are going to do.

[00:28:26]>> Approaching 0.

[00:28:28]>> Checked.

[00:28:31]Okay. And we are clear for takeoff from 01.

[00:28:48]>> Take off >> on runway 0 1.

[00:29:02]stabilized.

[00:29:04]Set takeoff thrust.

[00:29:13]Take off thrust set. Indications normal.

[00:29:17]>> Checked.

[00:29:36]Well, that's quite the gust.

[00:29:42]>> Gear up.

[00:29:53]LF.

[00:30:08]Flaps one. Speed check. Flaps one.

[00:30:18]Flaps up. Speed checked. Flaps up.

[00:30:28]That was an interesting takeoff. That was quite a bit of crosswind just prior to getting airborne.

[00:30:33]And then we actually needed almost full aileron in order to keep the wings level right after getting airborne. That's like the real airplane.

[00:30:54]Okay. And here we go. I suppose there isn't much sense in doing much more manual flight here because well, it's pretty much just straight ahead. So, command A and then we can continue that climb to let's say level 150 for now. We have flaps up, no lights.

[00:31:30]After takeoff checklist, air condition and pressurization 1.8 8 climbing set ultimeters 1016 passing 4,400.

[00:31:44]Now after takeoff checklist complete, let's release the cabin.

[00:31:52]All right, so still a little turbulent over here, but nothing significant.

[00:32:04]You can nicely see that turbulence from the outside though.

[00:32:32]All right, set standard.

[00:32:41]Stack passing flight level 70 now.

[00:32:46]Checked.

[00:32:53]Okay. So let's ask the important question.

[00:32:57]First of all, we do a wind data uplink because that does make a difference on a flight like this.

[00:33:04]Optimum 344 cruising 3 4 0. That sounds good.

[00:33:14]So then the uplink should arrive any moment, I guess.

[00:33:18]Yep, there it is already.

[00:33:21]load and execute.

[00:33:26]So, let's see. Arrival 2142 with 3.9 tons. Okay, that's easy.

[00:33:33]Then we have plenty of margin. Nothing to worry about. And let me just check.

[00:33:39]Yeah, that's with the long arrival in already. Good. Even if they switch to Rome 23 and we are flying like 10 minutes longer, we are still going to be on time. So that is all looking good. I like that.

[00:33:54]Then al meters person level 100 climb low 150 tent tracks with fuel is balanced and that's with six pumps on lights off. APU off air can press 4.0 climbing set. Fasten belts. Well, it's still a little bit turbulent over here.

[00:34:12]So we'll keep them on for the time being. Recall checked and monitoring 1 to 1.5. No data link today and that's the tantracks complete. Well, my friends, I'd say sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight with us. And I see you all when we start the approach into Dudeldorf.

[00:34:40][music] >> [music] >> Hey, [music] hey, hey.

[00:35:08]Heat. Heat.

[00:35:11][music] [music] [music] >> [music] >> Heat. Heat.

[00:35:47][music] Heat. Heat.

[00:35:53][music] [music] Heat. Heat.

[00:36:27][music] Heat.

[00:36:42][music] [music] Heat.

[00:36:57]All >> [music] [music] >> right, my friends. We are 6 hours in the air and just passing flight level 150 on our descent into Dudeldorf. There's a little bit of weather over there, so let's make a left turn here heading let's say 020 to avoid that. And then we are expecting the ILS approach run from 05 right into the door.

[00:37:31]So let's go ahead and start with a little bit of a setup work over here.

[00:37:37]Weatherwise we're looking at 350 at 10 1°ree Q&H 1013. So pretty cold conditions but overall very nice uh flying conditions. Now the approach is going to be the ILS approach to runway 05 left and that one is completely set up in our FMC. So let's go ahead and say goodbye to our passengers. And once we've done that, we can start with our approach briefing.

[00:38:11]for starter.

[00:38:34]Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck, this is your captain speaking. And we're now 6 hours in the air and we have another 20 well 10 minutes to fly to Dudov. The weather over there currently rather cold temperature 1° centigrade.

[00:38:50]Thank you very much for choosing TUI for today's flight. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and we look forward to welcome you again on board of future service. Thank you very much for your attention and we wish you a nice and safe onboard journey.

[00:39:02]All right, so those gentlemen have been dealt with. Then let's go ahead and start the approach briefing and descend to flight level 70.

[00:39:12]Okay, so for the briefing um threats for the arrival, I do honestly not see any.

[00:39:18]Then let's have a look. We got uh well should say 250 below 100. Let's just type that over it. Here we go. So 250 below 100 fixed rings runway 5 left 10 miles 4 miles and the um forecast page is filled in. The approach is going to be an ILS runway 05 left. Let's go ahead and put Dicki on top already since we're on a vector anyway. So center line is extended showing us slightly high.

[00:39:48]That's fine. We can correct that. Okay.

[00:39:51]So for the approach uh ILS ROM 05 left chart 11-16th of December 2024 frequency is 110 decimal 905 checked on both sides um courses 050 also set on both sides and the minimum down here is 389 which is also set on both sides. Now we've got um standard approach starting at DickMine 3000 3° glide. Temperature is positive so we don't need any cold temperature corrections here. Um go around straight at 1.6 DME India delo left turn until 7M outbound on heading 007 left turn direct off VR climate of 4,000 and that's that.

[00:40:35]Now we are arriving with 4.4 tons. The minimum is 2.3. So we got around half an hour of extra time and we are burning 100 kilos which is a landing of 64.4 and then we can take a flap 40 landing auto brakes three to the cage on the first rapid exit attacks away. Nothing special no threats for our taxian. Any questions? No. Beautiful. So that's our briefing complete. Then we got the altimeters passing level 97. Descending level 70s.

[00:41:05]Fuel is balanced and we've got four pumps on. Lights are coming on. Anglo bank 25. Air condition and pressurization 4.0. Descending set. Fast melts on. Recall checked. Monitoring 1 to 1.5. 10 check. It's uh complete.

[00:41:23]Oh god. GSX. You're annoying.

[00:41:26]Blocking my click spots. Okay. So, left heading 360 and descent altitude 3000 on the Q&H 1013.

[00:41:37]Set 3,000. Checked set Q&H 1013 cross checked passing 8,200 now check.

[00:41:51]Okay, so now the big question. Why did the center line just vanish? Let's try that again. Dney 050 execute.

[00:42:03]All right, we are receiving the ILS.

[00:42:05]Let's go ahead with a frisk.

[00:42:07]Frequencies one 0 decimal 95 check three times. Fix rings runway 05 left 10 miles four miles. Items is dizzled off northeast check three times. Um stand for instruments set courses 050 cross checked approach checklist. Alters and instruments set cross check projects check and set approach checklist completed.

[00:42:32]So let's do 180 knots over at Digny and then we are good to go.

[00:42:41]So we will be entering a little bit of icing momentarily. And on by now the cabin should also be secure.

[00:42:50]Then let's turn off the dome light.

[00:42:59]Now, something that I would kind of hope for Microsoft Flight Simulator to implement eventually that they don't have right now is um for all the light that we got on the flight deck down here to reflect off all the different parts on the flight deck and then also be visible for example up here on the MCP.

[00:43:16]So, I'm always kind of considering should put the lights to dim. Is that more realistic? But no, probably not.

[00:43:23]So, we'll just be flying it like this.

[00:43:26]But it is a little bit um it's a little bit darker than it would be in the real world.

[00:43:40]Okay, so turn right heading 020 cleared ILS 05 left.

[00:43:46]Here we go. Looking good. Proted and the speed break is coming in.

[00:43:59]So, let's maintain those 250 knots in order to keep descending.

[00:44:03]We will do a nice continuous descent approach out of this, but we also have to um we also don't have to fly too slow too soon.

[00:44:19]So, you can have the VSSD 1,00 to go.

[00:44:29][bell] Tracked.

[00:44:32]And then let's do a bit of flying.

[00:44:39]All manual.

[00:44:48]Okay, let's start reducing something like 300 ft a minute here.

[00:44:57]Vertical speed.

[00:45:09]More captured.

[00:45:18]Runway heading 050.

[00:45:26]Flaps one. Speed checked.

[00:45:46]Flaps one and flap five. Speed checked.

[00:45:56]Yep. Altitude is checked. Flop capture.

[00:46:01]Go around altitude 4,000 set.

[00:46:11]Okay, so the lights of the cities are coming into view.

[00:46:21]We're losing speed slowly but steadily.

[00:46:57]So, keeping it in trim is probably the most important thing while we are slowing the aircraft down on the final here just to keep it nice and steady.

[00:47:12]So Roma inside Don't get fooled by our air speed. It looks rather high, but since we are so heavy, we are going to be flying fast on the entire final anyway.

[00:47:48]So, 170 knots at 4 and a half miles may look fast, but believe me, we will be losing that speed quickly. And remember, since we're in BMC, we do have the 500 foot gate. All right, gear down. Flips 15.

[00:48:04]Landing checklist. Start watches continuous. Recall check. Speed brake arm green light. Flips 25. Speed check.

[00:48:11]Flips 25. So, landing. Get down. Three green. Auto brake reset. Holding a flaps. And flips 40. Speed checked.

[00:48:20]Flips 40.

[00:48:30]Okay. Flaps 40 40 green light. Landing lights on.

[00:48:39]Landing checklist complete. Crew seated.

[00:48:41]Clear to land.

[00:48:44]>> Checked.

[00:49:07]All right, we're at 64 tons. So, we should need about 64% N1 with flaps 40 >> checked.

[00:49:21]Minimos >> continue >> 200. Man, it's getting dusty here.

[00:49:28]Actually got to work a bit 100 50 30 20 10 So, speed breaks up. Thrust as normal.

[00:49:56]>> 80% 100 knots.

[00:49:59]>> 1,000 >> 80 knots.

[00:50:00]>> 200 m remaining.

[00:50:04]>> 60 knots.

[00:50:08]All right. Manual brakes. So, 6 hours and 13 minutes. Welcome back to Dizzled Off.

[00:50:22]Then we can take the next exit to the right.

[00:50:31]And here we are.

[00:50:36]So before we do any cleanup work, let's go ahead and cross runway 23 right or 05 right.

[00:50:45]So, we'll leave all the lights, everything on just assume that we got clearance to cross straight away.

[00:51:00]Okay, right side is clear. Left side is clear anyway. Clear to cross.

[00:51:19]So now we got to start slowing her down a bit for the turn onto Mike and then we'll taxi via Mike into the direction of the terminal. And while we're doing that, we can start our cleanup work.

[00:51:42]Okay.

[00:51:59]All right. No off landing checklist over here. And with that, welcome to Dizzle.

[00:52:29]So, that was surely an interesting trip to the Capa Islands.

[00:52:34]Departing early in the morning at 7:20 a.m. and we are back here almost at midnight, having covered some 5,200 nautical miles. Obviously in the real world this crew would have been done or this trip would have been done by two different crews as a single crew would just have um would just not have enough flight duty time available for an entire trip like this.

[00:53:01]So layover probably 2 days in the Capa Islands. I could definitely imagine a worse life especially on a short hall.

[00:53:11]And well, now it's probably getting back home for a day or two and then already back onto the next trip. Or at least I would say that if it was summertime since it is winter time with a holiday operator like Tui, we'd probably rather have like 10 days off and then fly another Canary Island and back which you do on a single day. And that way you really only get to do like what 10 days of work a month. I could definitely imagine worse times. On the other hand side, that means that during summertime, you are going to be doing a lot of work. Basically, working like six days in a row and then maybe having two days off. So, yeah, if you are a winter guy, then this is your type of operation. If you're a summer guy, then you may prefer, you know, an airline that is not just flying to those summer destinations, which you mainly do in summer, but much rather an airline that operates on a rather even schedule throughout the entire year. Think for example Lufanza, British Airways, Air France, those types of airlines that do operate a schedule or a feeder network for longhaul operations.

[00:54:32]Okay, so entering via Papa 4. Then we are parking back in Charlie 1, which is where we left this morning.

[00:54:48]So straight ahead, next taxway to the left and then all the way to the terminal.

[00:54:56]So let's see if we can get some GSX.

[00:55:01]Charlie one no follow me handling by a s start APU.

[00:55:22]So, 10 knots into the turn and then we're looking for the last gate on the right hand side.

[00:55:36]Probably going to Well, actually, it's rather bright here, so we don't have to keep the lights on. That's good. So, let's see. The radar is off. The lights are off, and we can see everything. I like it. Just like in the real world.

[00:56:02]What's not like in the real world is that it is so dark everywhere inside those windows.

[00:56:09]I should really make it a little bit brighter.

[00:56:15]Okay, so B738 is on the guidance system.

[00:56:22]I can't read anything.

[00:56:25]Here we go. Feet. Disregarding that.

[00:56:29]And here we are. That thing told me I was to the left. I am to the right of that center line. No comment.

[00:56:39]Two blue, one red. Engines dead.

[00:56:44]Coming through. Disarm doors and cross check.

[00:56:51]Okay, here we are.

[00:57:03]So, both engines below 20%.

[00:57:18]Then let's get ourselves some ground services here.

[00:57:24]So, shocks in position. Ground power request like that. And then we can do the shutdown checklist, please. Electrical on ground power fast. Well, fuel pumps one on. Electrical on ground power fasts off. Window lead off. Probe auto. Any off. Electra pumps off. Voice recorder auto. Air compacts auto. Engine bleeds on. APU bleed off. Exterior light.

[00:57:50]Steady logo wheel well. Start switches off. Auto brake off. Speed brake. Down.

[00:57:54]Flap set up light. Park and brake set.

[00:57:57]Start lever cut off. Weather radar off.

[00:57:59]Transponder 20,000 standby. CBRCB in cockpit door unlocked. And that's the transit shutdown checklist complete.

[00:58:08]All right, then. APU is going to go off.

[00:58:11]Then we can shut that stuff.

[00:58:18]And here we go. That's it. Well, my friends, with that 6 hours and 13 minutes, welcome back to Dizzel. I do hope you enjoyed the flight.
