MSFS | TUTORIAL: PMDG Boeing 737 with a Real World Pilot | Full Flight Lesson | Stansted to Dublin

Learn how to fly the PMDG 737-700 for MSFS along with me in this full flight lesson with a real world 737 pilot, following Ryanair SOPs! We take you through everything you need to know to fly almost any flight realistically, from setting the aircraft up from cold and dark to shutting it down at the other end. This tutorial has something for everyone - it's simple enough for beginner flight simmers and detailed enough that even the most seasoned PMDG user will learn something new.

If you'd like to fly along as you watch, see below for the flight plan, links to the sceneries we used, and a Ryanair checklist.

There are also bookmarks to allow you to jump to a particular section, although I do recommend you watch the whole thing before jumping about so as not to miss anything.
