Military Visualizations Beechcraft® Baron® B55 Quick Start Guide

Here it is! The bare bones! The “kick the tires and light the fires and get airborne guide.”

You read this and you get off the ground. You want to

learn how the airplane actually works and flies properly,

then you read the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH)

when you feel like it.

Step one: You have booted up FSX in Free Flight and

you’re sitting in the cockpit. On the keyboard, press Shift-

1 to bring up the setup menu box (figure 1). If you

want a two-blade prop, click the “Swap Props” button Figure 1

red. You want three blades again, click it green! You want to remove the chocks, click that

button. Click it again to bring them back. You want the pilot visible and the engine plugs and

pitot covers removed, then click that button to make it green. Want the pilot gone and the

plugs and covers back, click it red.

Step two: You want to light the fire! OK, here’s how:

1. On the left side of the cockpit, beside the yoke, see that box (figure 2)? It has your starter

buttons, master battery switch, and left/right

alternator switches. See the triangular arrayed

switches (figure 3)? The top of the triangle is the

master battery. The two base switches are the left

and right alternator switches. Flip all three up to the

on positions.

2. Look in the center of the panel, see those six levers? The two in the middle are your

throttles – that’s right Beech put the throttles for the Baron 55 in the middle! Use your

keyboard, mouse, or your physical controllers and push those two throttles forward about a

half inch forward from the full aft position. Make sure your two prop control levers are full

forward and the two mixture levers are full forward.

3. See that huge yoke? Covers up near everything doesn’t it? Let’s hide it temporarily!

See the bare aluminum shaft that pierces the panel in the center? Hover your mouse pointer
