TUTORIAL #2
For Simulator Use Only DO NOT DUPLICATE 27FEB15 RTM
BEFORE START PROCEDURE
The passengers are all on board, the cabin crew is closing the doors and
we’re almost ready to push and start the engines. A few more things need
to be accomplished first though.
Verify that the flight deck door is closed and the switch on the
back of the pedestal is in the AUTO position.
On a real life flight, the crew would check the performance data
and make any necessary adjustments based on last minute
weight changes. Since we know for sure what we’re heading out
with though, we’ll skip this since we already did it earlier.
Verify that the N1 limit bugs on the upper engine DU are correct.
In our case they should be around 87.4-87.6%.
Click the MCP AUTOTHROTTLE ARM switch into the ARM (up)
position.
Enter V2 into the MCP SPEED window – it should be 147-149 or
so. (look on the TAKEOFF REF page)
Arm the LNAV and VNAV modes by pressing their respective
MCP buttons.
Enter our initial heading into the MCP HEADING window, which
will be the runway heading of 239. You can get this from
TAKEOFF REF page 2 in the LSK 2L RW SLOPE/HDG field.
Set the initial climb altitude in the MCP ALTITUDE window, which
at EHAM is FL060. (6000) This is also our altitude restriction at
IVLUT on the SID.
At this point the captain does a short briefing discussing the taxi, takeoff
and departure procedures.
