Eww! The 737 Classic is so ugly! lol

...That blasphemous. Besides, the classics with analog are sexy.

Sorry for the silly and noob question but why the heading knob during takeoff is always set to the runway heading ?

Typically that's ATC's directions/clearance after takeoff: "Climb runway heading etc etc." That being said, course is set to runway heading and the heading bug is set to ATC direction IIRC. At least that's what I do IRL.

Hey,i want to show you a very good video about the 737, yes i know its not the NG seriesregards.

No!! You're so wrong. That is truly a 737NG, for sure! Of course NG stands for "No Glass"

That one from Mistralair I missed...I worked on some of their -300 QC and all with classic EFIS configuration, this is the first one of that airline I see with analog instrumenst.Very nice!

Probably an old US Airways/Piedmont bird... Piedmont was one of very, very few that ordered their -300s/-400s with the analog cockpit, making transitions from their huge -200 fleet easier.

Hey, but i thought that is why atc give you the via departure, to follow it, so why is the runway heading? thanks cheers.

ATC can give you various departures. It might be an SID or simply runway heading. The SID may also start off with RWH, too. If ATC gave you, "Fly heading 320, cleared for takeoff runway 01," I'd put in 320 on the MCP before I started the T/O.

Sometimes you'll get a published standard instrument departure (SID), other times you'll get explicit instruction ie fly heading, climb maintain, etc. It depends. I suggest listening to some clearances. Not all departures are going to be published procedures. Start with this or something similar: http://www.liveatc.n...rance-practice/

Yes.^We've left topic.

Hey, i heard that mp3 record, its awesome, but what does it mean when he says: "you claer via the RIDA4 departure rida localizer south course etc etc..."does it mean to fly first on those waypoints, and then start the filed course? thanks for the help! cheers

RENO4 Departure (http://www.scribd.co...-RENO-FOUR-0806), fly Reno localizer south course (the 164 degree one), with one clearance he tells the aircraft to expect vectors to J92 (a Jetroute), and then continue to the destination "as filed".A recent post I made was about clearances and what you always need, and also an easy way to organize it and practice copying clearances:CRAFT

• C- Clearance Limit- This is almost always the destination airport.
• R- Route- This is the route of flight you will fly. (Departure, Arrival, as filed [if the same as what you filed with flight services], etc)
• A- Altitude- Initial and final altitude
• F- Frequency- Departure frequency
• T- Transponder- Your assigned discrete transponder code (the four numbers for the transponder)
