PMDG MD-11 · MSFS · Virtual Type School

Fly the MD-11 like you went to type school.

Twelve procedures lessons and three real-world routes flown gate to gate in the sim — preflight to autoland, narrated in real time. Asymmetric takeoffs, fuel dumps, CAT III autolands, the difficult approach. The forty pages of the FCOM that actually fly the airplane, in the order you'd fly them. If you can fly the MD-11, you can fly anything.

Why this exists

You can spend 40 hours on YouTube and still freeze when the FMC asks you to reroute over the Atlantic.

01

The FCOM is 1,400 pages and it wasn't written for you.

It was written for type-rated airline crews who already know the airplane. You need the forty pages that actually fly it, in the order you'd fly them. That's why this course exists — 29 video lessons, 11h 20m, taught the way an airline trains it.

02

YouTube taught you the buttons. Not the airplane.

Forty creators, forty teaching styles, zero syllabus. You can program a SID but you don't know why the autothrottle disconnected in the flare on an MD-11 autoland. One syllabus, twelve procedures lessons, three real-world routes flown gate to gate in the sim — narrated in real time, the way a training department would teach them.

03

Most paid courses stop at the FMC intro and call it training.

They show you which key to press. They don't teach you when to intervene, what an asymmetric takeoff feels like in the trijet, or what the airplane is telling you when you're dumping fuel back to landing weight with one engine out.

Every lesson is video — captured inside the sim cockpit, at real-time pace, with the PMDG panels you'll actually fly.
Every lesson, every flight — fully visible

One complete video course. Procedures and flying. Done the way type school does them.

Every lesson is a video, taught in the order an airline would teach it. Setup and MCDU orientation, every procedures block the MD-11 flies — takeoffs, approaches, ground ops — and three real-world routes flown gate to gate in the sim, narrated in real time. 29 lessons, 11h 20m, on one syllabus.

The sim deck. Six CRT displays, two CDUs, a glareshield bristling with switches — the last great analog-instinct airliner, with just enough automation to bite the lazy.

Stabilized by a thousand feet, on speed, on profile, no surprises. Everything in the 200 miles before this is what the procedures and flight lessons teach.
