Join us for an early morning flight in the sophisticated Boeing 737 PMDG, soaring over the picturesque San Francisco Bay area in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Our adventure begins at Oakland International Airport (KOAK), where we power up the engines and taxi to the runway.
As the sun rises, we climb into the sky, guided by the precision of LNAV (Lateral Navigation) and VNAV (Vertical Navigation). The cityscape unfolds below us—the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the rolling hills of San Francisco. Our flight management system (FMS) effortlessly adjusts our altitude and heading, allowing us to focus on the breathtaking views.
Approaching San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), we engage the ILS (Instrument Landing System) for a smooth descent. The autopilot captures the glideslope, guiding us toward runway 28L. The ease of automation is evident as we align perfectly with the approach path, the city lights reflecting in the bay.
Touchdown is gentle, a testament to the seamless coordination of technology and skill. This video showcases the art of short-haul flying, where modern avionics enhance the pilot’s experience.
