Aircrafts Dissected Ep 15: Descent, Approach and Landing IZibo 737I X-Plane 11 Detailed Tutorial

This is the fifteenth video in what I hope turns into a long standing series on this channel called Aircrafts Dissected, where I plan to delve into every single switch, knob and light in the aircraft and properly explain their function. This video is the eighth in the full flight portion of this series, wherein we complete a full flight with the Zibo 737-800 from KSFO (San Francisco) to KLAX (Los Angeles). In this episode, we take a detailed look at the final descent, approach and landing procedure where we incrementally descend towards KLAX through various altitude checkpoints. The entire episode is live commentated to give an authentic feel as if the viewers are sitting beside me as we fly into runway 25L and perform a precision approach using the various tools at our disposal in the 737-800. The next episode will be the final one in the 'full-flight' portion of this series, where we will go ahead and cover the taxi to our parking gate as well as the after-landing and shutdown procedure to safely disembark the passengers and finish the flight leg.
