Today we're going to master the basics of top of descent in the Boeing 737!
(No I don't mean press LNAV + VNAV and forget all about it)

We're gonna actually LEARN (scary word I know) what is happening here for a manual / unplanned / no procedures flight that ends in a visual bang on.  Those new to flying sims, or transferring over from Airbus will find this invaluable.

This Video Forms PART 1 of a 2 Part mini series.  Part 2 will then discuss and build upon important concepts we learnt in this video, for a full Autoland, following procedures all the way down from the same starting point. If flying a planned IFR flight with STARs and approaches, which would be expected on VatSim or Real Life, I highly recommend watching both videos.  

Part 1 (this Video)
Part 2 - FL360 to AutoLand | PMDG 737 Tutorial...

If you aren't already familiar with reading charts, I highly recommend you also check out my comprehensive "Hour-Long" thorough tutorial on charts BEFORE moving to the second part, as we will join everything together there.

Charts Tutorial:  Navigraph Charts Tutorial | Complete ...

Having see today's video, you will begin to really appreciate exactly which bits are being automated away by the FMC & autopilot system, and which aren't.  My recommended playlist order for beginners to the 737 PMDG TOD to  TOUCH Trifecta is as follows:

1 - Unplanned Approach (this video)
2 - The Charts Video - Navigraph Charts Tutorial | Complete ...
3 - The Fully Planned  / Autoland - FL360 to AutoLand | PMDG 737 Tutorial...
