Starting of the APU and pre flight check. Not all the checks are done in this video but gives the viewer a good understanding of cockpit prep prior to crew checks for departure. Visit the channel for more. Please like , subscribe and share....Super thanks also welcome. Most of all: Thanks for watching.
The 737 cockpit preparations, the switches, the sounds, the "analog" feeling just makes me feel good. I love this aircraft
If you want to get even older with it, check out an MD-80 cockpit!
Sorry, It has stupid intake nacelles! They should be round! JK
Jip, based on the DC9 and they even hide circuit breakers behind the bins in the cockpit on the MD80 'cause of lack of space. Mostly instrument backlighting.
@@uTube486 Tell the Boeing engineers! They will say: Oh we didn't think of that, so thank you, it will be rectified
@@sundar999 Can't find their phone number...
Thanks mate! I couldn't get my 737 to start this morning.
I have the same problem sometimes, starting my space ship!!!! I get confused with the buttons and can't feel them in the gloves of my space suit!!!!
Some of the comments here are absolutely stupid. Who cares if this guy is an Engineer or a Pilot? He obviously knows his way around the cockpit of this plane, and the video itself was really informative. Some of you really need to leave your mom's basement once in a while.
Oh oh oh Engineers need a hero too.....Well done my friend.
@@AviationEngineering1972 I totally agree with you and Allen. Fly safe and hello from central Arkansas sir!
That’s what I said about Uncle Joe before the 2020 election. But he didn’t listen! Brandon stayed in mom’s basement!!
are you gay or just a trans?
@@matuscorpo5478 This ain't an "lgbt" comment section, it's about aviation
2:17 for apu gen off bus ding. It is simply the best sound I think I've ever heard in my life.
I tho its seatbelts and no smoking signs on/off
Does sound similar... Its a problem in most aircraft cockpits. If you look at the black box crash investigations and see how many times pilots are overwhelmed and confused due to similar warning sounds....could be a problem unless you spot the problem or realize the mistake quick enough.
Thanks very much it took almost 1 hour to start my 737 everday
Same bro
Isn't it the worst when it takes an hour to start your vehicle for the 10 minute commute to work?
Thank you! I couldnt turn on my 737 this morning ...
if you work for an airline that requires you to, then this is useful. Pilots, Tow Teams, or Mechanics
I was literally predicting each step thanks to my simming experience. THANKS XPLANE!!
CRTL + E usually works too
🗿
This helps more to set up the PMDG 737-800 than any video from sims! I always felt like I forgot a few things, well now I know what to do, will be watching this a few more times to memorise it.
You Are right. I learned from this video when i started with PMDG 😊💪
Thankyou Mr South African sounding man for showing me the start up sequence of an aircraft I'll never fly. Enjoy your fantastic piloting career!
Its my pleasure.....NOT a Pilot. Pilots superhero.(Engineer). Cause they also need someone!!!!!!! Thanks for the support.
I SWEAR its like listening to australian batman startup a passenger airliner lmfao
Thats a south African accent not Australian
It's a pleasure....hope to do more... But difficult now cause working short time...thanks for ur support
Sir...can I have your email address
No problems capt, anytime the opportunity arises, we'll be waiting here.
Wow, came for the 737, stay for the voice!
Thanks, now let me go start up my own Boeing 737 800
After seeing the Airbus startup, it's nice to see actual clunky switches and what sounded like an 'egg timer' as a warning bell.
The Airbus is easy....turn Batt.. fiddle some switches to test fire warnings and so on, then APU...Then sit on your hands and don't touch anything until the self tests are complete. Else you build in your own "snags".
He didn't show winding up the spring for the 'egg timer' bell ;)
Very cool. I always get a kick out of all the Sullys in the comments. Thanks for sharing.
All this and its still easier than Asking my wife what she wants for dinner.
Tell me you’re a boomer without telling me you’re a boomer
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing! It's always great to see the cockpit up close and personal like this.
Glad you liked it....wish I could film all day but I'm working at the same time so not always easy...active flight line is hectic....time is money..

Thanks buddy for the video! I really appreciate it!!!
30 years ago I passed on being an aircraft tech and got into telecom instead. Wish I would have went the other way some days. I love the 737 and it's systems. It's very intuitive. In my spare time I'm a wanna be pilot in simulators and this helped a ton. Great video!
It's my pleasure.....Hope it helps simplify things.
@@AviationEngineering1972 So cool! Just bumped into this video and saw you reply after such long time. First year aviation engineering student and pretty involved simmer here.
@@pookstah Glad to see someone has time for Simming....Good luck with your studies....Welcome to the club.
Wonderful video. Cant wait for PMDG to release their b737 for msfs 2020.
Cant play Flightsim yet....My house got robbed and the kids stole my joystick. Will get there again.
One of the most interesting videos I've seen - fascinating.
Glad you think so. Thanks for watching...
GREAT video! Love the attention to detail that you show that isn't in a lot of these kinds of videos.....
I appreciate that!
This guy is really taking the roundabout way of starting it up. Why didn’t he just press Ctrl+E on his keyboard? Just kidding. Great video!
Great video, very informative.
Wow awasome, pls more
Excellent informative presentation thanks
Thank you for preparing.. bless your heart
I love the information the aircraft is sharing with the pilot.
Compared to newer aircraft its basic but very mechanical. No real computers here...just a few digital inputs here and there. Nice old school flying (almost)
thanks, i can't wait to start my 737 in my dream tonight
Excellent video! Loved the detail and the explanation. Looking forward to more.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much for this great video! Not that many on youtube go this in depth. Really good!
I had a look again.....Should have done more....Went to fast(Time Constrained)
Most excellent walk through of the preflight. Thanks!
Well thank you sir. Thanks for the support.
Was the left wing missing ;)
Totally Love this video..with the close up video..I've always loved the cockpit area..great stuff
Thanks, more to come I hope....Our company downsizing due to Covid. So a bit stressful now.
@@AviationEngineering1972 understood
Back in the 90's I got a chance to sit in the cockpit of a 747, the number if switches and control knobs was just overwhelming. Thanks for sharing your video.
Had the opportunity to work on the B747-400 for a few years. They were getting a bit older now but wow!!!!! Pity Covid stuffed it all up. Would like to have seen them in the sky a bit longer. The ones that came to Cape Town were British Airways and they all are scrapped now...sad but true.
Always a pleasure listening to Andy Serkis carrying out a speech.
ooooh nice comment... didn't know him and googled.... I sort of see the point....if only. Thanks
thank you for this video! i always loved the 737 startup :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a brilliant shot
Superb mate, thanking you for sharing 😊
Make more of these... very useful for us cockpit builders :)
Going to try....Might not have a job tomorrow....but its not the first time... If this is my new source of income, its not working.... Better than ZERO I guess
@@AviationEngineering1972 It's not an easy market atm... sorry to hear that job security is bad
Oh wow, an -800 with eyebrows! Cracking video!
What is eyebrows? Is it 4 small windows on a roof?
Eyebrow windows are being removed.. So some cockpits don't have windows 4 and 5.(The Eyebrow windows)
Great content! I'd love to see a full startup at full speed :)
It's a very realistic and beautiful video, congratulations.. I actually fly with Cesnna 150, but in FSX my favorite was the B737 - 800 NGX . I think the location is Cape Town International Airport Gate 8. I am waiting for your new video for engine start and take off. Thanks again.
Thanks for the tutorial! Just about to steal one from the hanger.
You're welcome....Just don't tell them where you got the know how from!!!! Good luck.
😂😂😂😂
I fly the 737-800 in Xplane and am amazed how accurate the sim is to this. Understood all you did. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Ranger Rick...
As a former Israel Air Force aircraft tech, I feelll a pinch of nostalgy always watching these videos! THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HOPE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! David from Israel
Thats why I put the Cheetah vid on for you to enjoy...Thanks
@@AviationEngineering1972 thanks! Watched it! Adorable. Indeed, once an aviator, always an aviator
Nice video, thanks. Love 737
thats the deepest voice i have heard , i bet the passengers when they hear him on PA get startled as to who is commandeering the aircraft 🤣
I stay on the ground for safety reasons(LOL).....I'm an Engineer, but I must be ugly as the Pilots often say I have a good voice for radio!
Beautifully explained.. Loved it!!!
Oh. Hey. The GPWS test seems to run the TCAS test too... the 737-600 has a seperate panel for tcas/tcas test.
After a few hundred hours in the 737, I imagine it becomes rote, but wow, what a list to check just to get started. It took my ear a minute to tune to the South African (?) accent, but so enlightening.Thank you.
Check your discussion on your channel.. Thanks very much.
Thanks for the video! I work on the P8's which is basically a modded 73-8, and boy do we have to go through the book to start the apu, takes about 10 minutes to get it running!
That’s stupid. It should never take that long.
Oh I absolutely could not agree more with you on that one, but sadly it is stupid, everything is so over the top its actual aids
If im gonna learn aviation. I might aswell embrace the -guts of the beast- internal workings of the cockpit
Carry on Captain we appreciate this effort of showing us this magnificent plan, it looks exactly like my 737-800X that I am flying in Xplane 11, your APU takes just a bit longer to start than mine with that nice spooling up sound coming up. We're waiting for more clips like this. Thanks a lot.
Its old and takes longer to start like me...No the combustion chamber and plug are a matched set.. Sometimes they get mixed in the stores IPC. Then paperwork screws us. It happens. Waiting for comments on this one...
@@AviationEngineering1972 That's understandable Capt, this beauty is many moons old than many planes out there but we still love it to bits just like you do. 🙏🙏👍👍
Excellent; well-explained. Thanks. Hope you make many more similarly informative clips.
Will do...
Thank you sir, I enjoyed every second of it:)
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Very kind of you.
I LOVE THE 737NG such an amazing Aircraft :D. I once got invited as a passenger to join the pilots in the cockpit on approach and landing and since then I absolutly love the 737 and fly nothing else in Xplane. I really want to become a real pilot on the 737 :)
What a gem this is! Thank you sir ✊
Not easy to get nice long video as I don't have much time before crew gets onboard, So kind of a one take wonder...Thank you for the support.
I fly 737 on X-plane and Prepar3D and i think that reached an impressive level of reality. I love watching video from real Pilots and understand everything. Great video, Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm just a Technician by the way.....but we need to know more than the Pilots to keep the aircraft flying. We are there HEROES, else the just be bus drivers.
Thaks you very much
Me plugging on the tv and my grandpas perspective be like:
Understand completely.... My Mom was the same. Between local, paid TV and the old VHS machine....Never understood which channel or "remote" (clicker) to use....She taped a lot of "SNOW"!!!!!!
Thanks for the video! We need to have the APU running for at least one minute before we can select bleed air.
Jip and more depending on the FCOM and the company procedures. ( I've been rasped over the knuckles by a few subs.)
Lovely, thanks for the video. Really high quality
My pleasure!
That was an awesome video mate
Glad you liked it.....more coming...just tied up with courses and refreshers from new company....and fixing my daughters car in-between. Running all the time....got some more stuff. Just need time to sit and process it.
@@AviationEngineering1972 Good stuff. Cant wait
Thank you for this informative video captain🤗❤️
Captain? Nah.... I just kick the tires here and there. Someone has to fix it, right. Thanks for the upgrade. Can I get the salary too.
🤔
You knew exactly who would watch this vid. All of us avgeeks! Amazing video sir, loved the procedure. Like everyone else is saying, I fly this aircraft in simulators and they function exactly like the real thing. I’ll hopefully be building a 737-800 home cockpit for sim use in the future.
Its because I'm an avgeek too. Good luck with the build. I've seen some guys do it on KZhead by ordering pre-made panels. Cant remember from where but do remember that it was expensive. Sell a kidney, rob a bank or something. My little piggy bank has to little money and the Ball and chain will have a fit if I spend about half what my house is worth on "flying" in my lounge. She says sitting in a chair at home is not flying. Clearly does not understand the skill and effort it takes to do it properly.
Nice information vlog 🙏 episode 👍
So nice of you
Love the Captain Cool voice :O
I'm an engineer.. they relax after I talk to them too!!!!
FCOM 7.30.3 - Operate the APU for two full minutes before using it as a bleed air source.
And so are speed limits but do we listen....om you win.
Lucky om is my second language.
Awesome video. Keep them coming bro!
Will do...
This is machine! Machine! Thank you for video!
Thank you too!
Haha - I've heard those wind shear, terrain, bank angle etc warnings while boarding before...now I know what that's from ;)
See.....Now this helps someone....
Very nice video! Cockpit needs a clean though
Gotta love eyebrow windows! 👍
Really informative Video 💯💯💯
Glad you think so! Thanks for the feedback.
Oh thanks I needed help starting up my 737
Glad I could help
Like your tail....nr
Thanks for showing I have to fly in a hour 😓
Really awsome good job
Thank you kindly...
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching......
Been doing that in a sim , glad to know I was pretty close on procedures.
When I was kid flying southwest the flight attendant looking at the cockpit and asked the first officer if I could see the cockpit and he said yes and I thought it was so cool because I got to flip the fire alarm on and off
Cool dude.....I've seen when they do the "guns" for the kids. They do the stick shaker test so the control columns rattle and then watch the young faces light up in a smile...
Great video man, so inspiring :)
Appreciate it!
beautiful video
Thank you
I need one of these videos for an Airbus…. Great video tbh
When we start using the airbus A319/320 I will make one for that too....
@@AviationEngineering1972 Now is that upcoming or are you just getting my hopes up? Btw awesome video
My company is hoping to start up in this month with flying again( Covid ). We only have Airbus in our fleet.. So hope to do one soon
The air con noise when you start up the app is just… It’s an indescribable feeling
WhOOOOOOOOOsh!!!!!!!! Thanks for your support... Had a video of the cold air streaming(visible cloud) from a B747-400 and somehow lost it....
Thank you for you nice content
Great video!
I can only try. Thanks for your support!
wow, these dcs graphics are great
*Xplane11
Funny.
My man casually sneaking in
Only because of the tall grass....Nice comment.
The left wing no.1 fuel pump was required to boost fuel flow to the APU in the classics but this isn’t required for the NGs. A DC pump functions to increase fuel flow to the APU automatically once the APU is powered on.
Still part of procedure.
I loved the video! Can you please make a video on Boeing 738 cockpit shutdown procedure? Wonderful channel!!
Just watch the video in reverse.....Kidding!!!!! I will do... Being new at " The Company" still involved in tons of training.....I would just like to add that I'm grateful to Ibrahim Alashtar for his support.....Gold star...Thanks Very Very much......Don't know how much I may film without the company saying No No but want to ask if I may.....I've worked for them before and very people orientated.... Maybe I can become an ambassador for them and promote them.....
Very cool
Thanks for the sub....
@@AviationEngineering1972 np
I'm busting out through the cockpit window as soon as I hear "pull up"!
That’s why you’re not gonna be inside a cockpit
Marco Pierre White did an absolute wonder of a job with this video. All jokes aside, this is really cool to see these machines powered on. Bravo.
Did'nt know this was going to happen....hope its not a one hit wonder....thanks
For a long time I wanted to see these stages from a real plot. Thank you. Can you make a video as a full flight? You can be sure that I will recommend it to all my friends.
Bru!!! I'm a Technician....Will strive to get your request done.....Might take time, but will get there!
Not quite understanding the disrespect towards the plane's cockpit configuration. This plane is still a modern marvel, even if the cockpit doesn't look like a spaceship...
Wow, couldn't there just be a key to turn in the ignition to start the whole thing up?
Would be nice, but someone will loose it or take it home.....some light aircraft do have keys as an extra measure of protection.
Very nice, thank you!
the best video!!! thank you so much
Thank you soooo!!! much for your support..... Glad you enjoyed it.
I am surprised by how old and outdated 737s look from the cockpit. Everywhere else of it looks pretty modern to me.
the 800 is a slightly outdated model now, check out a newer 737's instruments
Thats what i was thinking......hell even the 800 is an older plane today....the MAX seems a Lil more....Nowish
