Aug 20, 2008 - ok..i got three questions..hope youall dont think they are stupid:1.) is ther a pilot in training in this vid?2.) who is and why is there a cameraman?
alaskanpilotsdotcom Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - no pilot in training, I was riding along and taking video for fun. They are a part 91 operation if you are familliar with the FAR's. Whats the third question?

Aug 20, 2008 - the speed at 2:30 is 157kts and 2000ft. The airspeed is to the left of the attitude indicator. (the green number)

Aug 20, 2008 - i bet that FMS wasnt there when this plane first came out of the factory :P
ErickC Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Actually, a lot of later -200Adv models came with SP177 autopilots and FMS installed out of the factory. By the early 1980s it was standard.
gilipichiairways Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - were they early model FMS or INS like in the 1011?btw,,are u erick cantu? plane maker for fs? if u are..great 727!!!hope you make some airbuses one day!cheers
objordal Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - The 737-200.. or older 737's in general, didn't come with a INS. At the time the 737-200 was produced, the INS was quite expensive a piece. If some 732's flew with it, there weren't many of them, and maybe only some of the airlines with the best economics operated them..

Aug 20, 2008 - What's making the trims spin like that?
alaskanpilotsdotcom Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - there is an electric switch on the yoke. he is trimming it with his thumb.
timsimmk Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Why does he need to trim when he is flying manually?
alaskanpilotsdotcom Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - trim relieves your arms from having to do lots of work. you use trim even more while your flying manually to offset the forces of the elevator.
kinsley2108 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - ya, i noticed they use that switch alot, would suck if it wasn't on the yoke
kinsley2108 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - guess you were looking at the red and white needle, thats the overspeed warning thingy.
yohan01 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Try Cessna 150 ^_^
