0.00.12 PMDG 737NGX
TUTORIAL #2
27FEB15 RTM DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only
ELECTRICAL POWER UP
With the cockpit completely dark our first order of business is to get power
to the airplane.
Open the Flight Crew Operating Manual Volume 1 (FCOM Vol. 1)
to page NP.21.1 (page 77 of the PDF version).
This is the Amplified Normal Procedures section, which explains the steps
not related to actual flying technique that the crew should use during the
course of a flight from startup to shutdown. (Flying techniques are
covered in the Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM)).
In real life these procedures are broken down into items the captain and
first officer accomplish separately, but since the PMDG 737NGX is (for
now) a single pilot affair, we’ll combine both pilots’ duties here.
The very first line of the section informs us that the Electrical Power Up
supplementary procedure needs to be completed first.
Go to page SP.6.1 (page 209 of the PDF version) of the FCOM
Vol. 1 and let’s get started.
On the right-center part of the lower overhead, flip the BATTERY
switch guard to the closed position with a click of either mouse
button. This turns the switch on as the guard closes.
Verify that the STANDBY POWER switch just below and to the
right of the BATTERY switch has its guard closed, which puts it in
the AUTO position.
