to the Boeing 777 Simulator Guide! This book is intended to help simulator pilots to y the
W elcome
Boeing 777 as close as possible to a real world pilot. There are three major aspects that di er from a
home simulation environment to real world environment. These are cover below with a brief explanation on
how those aspects can help you or how you can adapt to it.
The rst one is simulator setup and hardware available for sim pilots. Even though it is possible to recreate the
entire ight deck at home, most of us - and here I include myself - do not have complex cockpits. Always try
to improve your setup as much as you can, but have in mind that on the real plane (or in a a Level D simulator)
the design and ergonomics of the ight deck will allow you to operate more precisely as everything you need
to touch or visualize is readily accessible. So, ying on your computer is harder in regards to this perspective.
Secondly, it doesn’t matter how accurate your airplane and your operating system are, there will always be
some di erences to the real airplane and the environment around it. You can expect some sort of quality
degradation related to pneumatic systems (speci cally related to pressurization, as the bleed system will
indicate certain pressure that will not change or behave as the real airplane, rendering the simulation of the
out ow valve, as an example, far from realistic). However, have in mind that those behaviors will not prevent
the simulation of a normal ight. So, do not use your home simulation to train non-normals without taking this
into consideration.
Lastly, an perhaps the most important part related to this guide: you are (most probably) ying alone one
airplane that is design to be operated by two trained pilots. This document will try to organize the procedures,
so you can try to deal with this complicated scenario by yourself. So, this can allow even real pilots to think on
how to react when dealing with a pilot incapacitation or when the other pilot is not actively monitoring the
ight (due to physiological needs or engaged in other tasks - like PA to passengers, calling company, talking
to the cabin crew or even listening to ATIS or coordinating with di erent stations along the route).
With all that being said, always try to understand the situation and use your judgment and common sense.
There is no book that will ever cover all possible scenarios. This is called in aviation as Airmanship.

INTRODUCTION
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
O
n the next chapters there are lists of actions to be performed. Each chapter will cover a single phase of
the ight or a speci c procedure. The Boeing normal and supplementary procedures nomenclature will
be hold to maximum extent, however some topics where further expanded and the creation of speci c
chapters became inevitable.
The intention is to have the most complete guide, covering the vast majority of real life procedures, but also
giving non-expert users the possibility to complete a ight. So, the lists of procedures will incorporate
“optional items” and “mandatory items”. Optional items can be omitted from the simulation environment (if
the failures are not active), as they verify or execute actions that are not modeled, do not alter or have the
correct parameters set by the software (more about below) or they test speci c physical controls, levers or
switches that do not work like those on the real airplane. The mandatory items are bold should be
completed because they are needed to operate the airplane or they signi cantly enhance ight safety.
SPECIFIC FORMAT FOR CHECKLIST:
The checklist tables include a third column to indicate which pilot is responding each speci c challenge (this
is very helpful to improve CRM and pilots area of responsibility during operations with more than one pilot).
The items follow the reference below:
ALL = All pilots - including the observer(s)
BOTH = Captain and First O cer
C = Captain
FO = First O cer
PF = Pilot Flying
PM = Pilot Monitoring
If more than one person have to respond to the checklist item, whoever is reading will always be the last to
respond. In case more than one observer is present, whoever is seated in the center seat will respond before
the person seated on the 2nd observer position.
The checklist also contains ITALIC ITENS, which are automatically sensed by the aircraft when using the
onboard Electronic Checklist and do not need to the read when this feature is being used.
Also, when using the Electronic Checklist and con rming that the BEFORE TAKEOFF and LANDING checklists
are completed, the PF will verify the green CHECKLIST COMPLETE indication and state: “Checklist
complete”. This is done to ensure that both pilots veri ed these checklists were e ectively completed, as all
the items are sensed by airplane and there will be no items reading.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOFTWARE:
Although this can be used for any 777 simulation, this guide is designed to be used with the PMDG expansion
for the MSFS, from the “Cold and Dark Panel State”. Some actions and con gurations were included by
PMDG in the FMS/Tablet and most of them are not performed by the pilots. These actions include
maintenance, cabin crew and ground sta tasks, but in this case you will have to complete them as you are a
one-man army. These items will have a di erent background color (GREY background).
Also, if you are not using the PMDG software or using the PMDG software from any other Startup State then
the “Cold and Dark”, you may be required to perform some of the optional items up to the Preliminary
(included) to bring the airplane to the required con guration.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
C
laudio Roberto Fonseca is a Boeing 777 and Boeing 737 type rated pilot with over 12,000 ying hours
and a vast ight simulation experience that started on MSFS 95. His rst real ight was back in 2003,
and soon after he joined an aviation bachelor degree program. During that time he became an aircraft and
glider private pilot, then commercial pilot with instrument rating.
After completing the rst two years of Aeronautical Science, he got his rst job in aviation as a theoretical
instructor in a ight school. He nished college at the end of 2006 and a few months later started at his rst
pilot job as a ight instructor on single engine airplanes and also towing gliders. In the next years he
completed the multi-engine rating, MCC course and English pro ciency test.
In 2010 he was hired as a rst o cer for the largest 737 operator in the southern hemisphere, where he
accumulated 5,000 ying hours on the -700 and -800 versions. In 2017 he left his home country Brazil to join
the 777 eet on a Middle Eastern carrier. On his current work he ies the B777 passenger (-300ER and
-200LR) and cargo (-200F) versions around the world. After have crossed all the oceans and landed in all
continents, he is trying to help aviation enthusiasts and new pilots on their journey.
He also maintains a YouTube channel where real life procedures are explained and demonstrated (as far as the
home ight simulator platforms can go), that is updated roster permitting.

Note 1: If using the CDU after loading the Cold and Dark State, HOLD the FMC MENU button for a couple of seconds until the screen comes to life, so
you can access PMDG SETUP and FS ACTIONS submenus.
Note 2: When Stairs are requested through Ground Service Vehicles menu, the respective Entry Door is automatically opened. Similarly, when Stairs are
released through the same menu, the respective Entry Door is automatically closed.
Note 3: When operating the jetway through the Ground Connections menu, the doors are not automatically controlled. Similarly, when operating the
doors through Doors menu, the jetway is NOT automatically controlled.
Author personal suggestion: now that the entries are correctly con gured, maintenance team, ground
sta and crew can have access to the airplane. Usually, only maintenance personnel is on the airplane
at this stage.

ADVANCED TIP
Usually, the procedures so far are performed by the maintenance team. When the pilots arrive at the airplane,
it is electrically powered and climate controlled (using external AC or the PACKS), as needed. There are no
passengers on board as well, so the current weight of the aircraft is above what it should be.
The PMDG 777 Cold and Dark state also brings the In-Flight Entertainment/Passenger Seats Power Outlets
and Cabin/Utility bus not powered. Some companies always keep them on, some other companies include its
selection as a maintenance task at this stage and others leave this only to the pilots during the pre ight. As
this interferes with the cabin crew duties, my personal opinion is that they should be on once an AC power
supply is available. Take this time to work on it.
Another strange selection by the PMDG initial state are the window heat switches as o . Even though they are
turned o for prolonged aircraft storage or maintenance, during line operations they stay on (even during
layovers). The system is smart enough to apply or remove power from the system as needed. So, turn them
on.
The last discrepancy is the transponder. PMDG left the Transponder Mode Selector incorrectly in TA/RA mode
(and not in STBY mode). The transponder code selected by PMDG is 1234 and while it is not a big deal, most
operators reset code to 2000 after the ight (it is even a mandatory procedure at certain airports around the
world).
You may want to correct all this details, and the procedure below describes how to do so.
For a better immersion, you can complete the steps below, save the current state and con gure PMDG to
always start like this. In this case, you can start your ights from the Preliminary Pre ight Procedure in the
next page (just like a real pilot). Or you can load these settings at your convenience.

Note: If the PACKS will be used on the ground, the APU must be started as it is the only appropriate air source for the aircraft air conditioning system
at this stage. Air Start Units cannot be used in conjunction with the PACKS on the Boeing 777, for air conditioning purposes.
