Tutorial: Flight from Sydney to Vancouver

[mcdonar]

I am pleased to announce a rather different approach to flight simulation videos.

A 6-part B777-300ER tutorial demonstrating a long-haul flight across the Pacific from YSSY to CYVR using the PMDG simulator is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2oogUy ... DNcT4u7KyX.

The tutorial is intended to educate, entertain and to provoke informed discussions on this forum by covering flight planning, flight preparation, departure, en route and arrival procedures. It includes planning for and execution of ETOPS and re-dispatch procedures.

I decided to make the captain the centre of all views. So, no views that a real-world captain cannot see.

The tutorial element is supported by voice interactions with both the crew and air traffic control and extensive helpful texts. You can also view the flight plan at https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=201900 .

A full list of hardware and software used in the making of the tutorial is included at the end.
