ATR 72-600 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.

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.
