Guide – Checklist & Procedures for MS Flight Simulator
IMPORTANT
NORMAL PROCEDURES (SIMPLIFIED)
ENGLISH
This checklist is designed for a efficient operation flow for one pilot, but I tried to keep
it as close as possible to the real procedures. The procedures are intentionally
simplified in some regards, to make this guide accessible for beginners.
Making these checklists has become very time consuming for me. So if you really
like them, please consider a donation via flightsim.to (even the smallest donation
would be helpfull. Many Thanks.
DEUTSCH
Die Checkliste ist für einen effizienten Bedienungs Flow für einen Piloten gemacht,
aber ich versuche immer so dicht wie möglich an den realen Prozeduren zu bleiben.
Die Prozeduren sind teilweise absichtlich vereinfacht, um es zugänglicher für
Anfänger zu machen.
Das Erstellen dieser Checklisten ist für mich zu einer sehr zeitaufwendigen Sache
geworden. Falls du die Checklisten wirklich magst, ziehe bitte eine Spende via
flightsim.to in Betracht (selbst die kleinste Spende hilft weiter). Vielen Dank.

Engine 2 is running with Propeller Brake ON, which prevents the Propeller
from turning. Gives DC Power and Bleed Air for Packs.
POWER LEVER
Power Lever (PL): The Power Lever stays in NOTCH during Takeoff,
Climb and Cruise. Power is managed by PWR MGT Knob. During
Descent, Approach and Landing - Power Lever is set manually to maintain
desired Speed. FMS Speeds in AUTO Mode are advisory only execept in
IAS AP Mode.
