OT: What was his opinion?

😁 I want to know that too!  (but don't want to watch the video) 😊

OK does V1 uses "real" in every title of videos he posts?

He does nothing wrong with it.

You only have to know his opinion from other biased videos.

Given my current ride, a  big computer with carbon fibre wings,  I’m often tempted to make a video with the title “ REAL flight sim pilot flies PRETEND aircraft”

This comment is 97% subjective.

I made it perfectly clear why I called him out - because he packs his videos titles with long claims around his 'qualification' to make a flight sim video - which is exactly what was under discussion.

- this is highly subjective.   Firstly, three-quarters of his videos are on aircraft types that he's never been near in the real world.  I have cringed on a number of occasions watching him fly Airbus aircraft.   That is why the "REAL 737 PILOT" banner is so silly - when he doesn't even know what the "Activate approach" LSK in the MCDU does.

I personally don't like his video style at all.  I want him to get on with the flight and he spends an inordinate amount of time engaging in silly small-talk and giggling with those posting on his stream.

To reiterate the main point I was making though - yes, he posts huge "REAL" banners in his videos, even when his 737 type rating is irrelevent to the content. 

To be honest, you sound like you'd be looking to find a problem with anyone with legitimacy. To quote 8 Mile, "you sound like a word not allowed off rapper who never made it".

I thought I was the only one with this view. 😄  Every single video released by some of them has | REAL PILOT | in the description. (Flightdeck2sim).  It's like they're desperate to be taken seriously and worshipped.  And then there are the true professionals.. yes there are some of them.. with a little humility, that would never post such a silly title.  They let their expertise and knowledge show itself in the actual content rather than "I'm a REAL airline pilot, REALLY, HONESTLY!!" in their title.  😄

It makes a difference for the same reason a good thumbnail makes a difference. 

There are metrics to back these things up, too, of course. 

@sd_flyer I HIGHLY doubt FlightDeck2Sim, A320 Sim Pilot, and the rest are “desperate” to be recognized. 

This is all just very standard marketing/advertising tactics.

Sure it's not. Why not to throw more info like FO, captain and seniority to the mix LOL I would be curious! 

Some people on  here  would argue with a crisp packet

What is funny is that this youtuber starts each video with " I am a real licensed pilot". But since that is the extent of his details, you know the guy probably isn't a pilot or maybe has some hours on a 150 or an ultralight. No offense meant if this is an Avsimmer's channel.

At time 38, he mentions that the elevator is losing effectiveness during normal conditions. Totally wrong. Actually passing around 50 to 60 kts, like the rudder becomes "alive", as soon as speed is increasing, the elevator gets effective, and the flight controls feel gets active for a balanced feel. The control column commands the PFCs to generate a pitch maneuver. The PFCs automatically position the elevator and the stabilizer to generate the commanded maneuver. The PFCs continuously monitor the airplane's response to pilot commands and reposition the elevator and stabilizer to execute them. If the trim setting is correct, you do not need to pull the yoke any further. Actually, it takes very little effort to pull the yoke aft, and it starts to rotate smoothly. We target about 2.5 degrees per second to the target and do not exceed 8 degrees of pitch to avoid a tail strike. Actually, the system pitch control law limits excessive pitch rate during rotation, provides a smooth, controlled nose-up response, reduces the risk of over-rotation, and dampens aggressive inputs that could cause a tail strike. The damping is very lightly noticeable by the pilot, but won’t override pilot input or any additional pull. Totally wrong to pull additionally after 8 degrees; that is the recipe for a tail strike.

 

At time 43, instead of Vr to rotate, he starts rotating past V2, which is incorrect and is affecting all the performance data.  Unfortunately, what he calls "right technique" is incorrect and does not align with how we do it during line operations. 

 

He was demonstrating the compensation for flap and speedbrake configuration changes and turns up to 30° of bank, but he stopped at only 25° of bank. The PFCs automatically control pitch to maintain a relatively constant flight path. This eliminates the need for the pilot to make control column inputs to compensate for these factors. For bank angles up to 30°, the pilot does not need to add additional column back pressure to maintain altitude. For turns with more than 30° of bank, the pilot needs to add column back pressure.

 

As a note, "shut up" won't cut it when GPWS calls GS. We take corrective action.

 

I really don't understand why he's getting involved in these kinds of statements and spreading wrong information.

Thanks for this. I guess I will wait for the 320 Sim Pilot review, as he is 777 type rated. This was his 2024 review.
