When Nolly Productions, Inc. first started the
aviation video revolution, 20 years ago, our first commercial video was a
Systems Review of the B-727. George Nolly, who had been a Systems Instructor for
a major airline, covered all the major systems on the Basic B-727, with some
discussion of the Advanced aircraft. The instructional content was outstanding,
but the video quality was abysmal. (It was shot on regular VHS tape, and the
customer received a third-generation copy of that.) Talk about mixed emotions:
we were embarrassed by the grainy, snowy picture, but extremely proud of the
instruction. In fact, we held off re-doing the video for a long time, because we
just weren't sure we could capture the magic and enthusiasm of a young George
Nolly.
We shouldn't have worried. When George remade the tape in 1996,
he was by that time an experienced Captain and Check Airman on the B-727. And
the instruction is even better now than it was in 1979! Better yet, we shot and
edited it on professional gear and used some outstanding special effects to
enhance learning. Like when you see the electrical panel superimposed over the
schematic of the Electrical System. It all becomes crystal clear.
Total
running time for the two VHS videotapes that comprise the course is just under 4
hours. You'll cover every major system, starting with the Flight Engineer
station and then working through the forward panel and the overhead panel. Every
switch, control and indicator is covered, along with its underlying schematic.
The course is based on the B-727 Advanced aircraft. When you finish this course,
you'll really understand B-727 systems!
Customer Comments
"Your B-727 Systems Review is truly outstanding. It's a great way to
prepare for either Transition Training or a Proficiency Check. Even after all my
years instructing on the B-727, I found the tapes an excellent way to reinforce
my systems knowledge."
