PMDG 737 FMC/CDU Tips & Tricks Tutorial from a Real Boeing Pilot
2,584In this tutorial I will show you some useful tips and tricks regarding the FMC which you can use when flying the PMDG NGX. These exercises are completed on the initial part of the Type Rating using a dedicated FMS Trainer to introduce crew to some of the functions of the FMC, I’ve replicated these exercises on a simulated flight from Luton (EGGW) to Palma de Majorca (LEPA) using a Real World Operation Flight Plan.
This Tutorial barely scratches the surface and is merely an introduction to some of the more common features used on a typical flight from A to B, there’s plenty more you can do! I will make more tutorials in the future covering other features.

Exercise 2 – ATC Shortcuts & Max Rate/Max Angle – 03:09
